Chapter 768: Don't Talk Crazy
The Quidditch players on both sides of the field were still battling each other fiercely, but the weather was getting worse and worse, and the flowing wind seemed to be blowing away the dark clouds and gradually gathering.
The Aurors in charge of the patrol looked up to feel the change in the weather, and after gathering for a while, they scattered around, training the cause of the sudden change in the weather.
"The weather can change no matter how you say it, and I don't have an umbrella with me. The spectators in the stands complained when they saw the snowflakes that were starting to fall in the sky.
......
The clone of Alan in the Forbidden Forest stretched one hand high into the sky, and with the other hand controlled the dark clouds gathered by magic to drift towards the Quidditch pitch together, as the obscure but magical runic spells continued to flow from Ellen's mouth, the magic that was visible to the naked eye surged around him.
In a short period of time, he completed the magic of ordinary wizards that required the combined efforts of many people to change the weather, and Allen's clone looked up and noticed that there were already Aurors flying towards the Forbidden Forest from the court, so he lowered his hands and turned his head to scan at random, and then used the Divine Edge Shadowless to cut down a small branch on a tree, and after picking it up, he let himself dissipate in place.
The dark clouds on the field gathered and became more and more powerful, the wind howled, and the snowflakes falling from the sky gradually became bigger and denser......
Goyle, the Slytherin batsman, slams the Bludger hard at Gryffindor's chaser, Dean?? Thomas. In the face of the menacing Bludger, Ron, who was holding a bat, blocked in front of Dean, and swung the batting bat vigorously to hit the Bludger back, but this technique was not something that a novice batsman could master, and the Bludger was knocked out by him high, and went straight to the stands and almost hit a Hufflepuff who was indulging in snacks on the court - although the badger did not notice what was happening, he instinctively used his body to protect the bee candy in his hand when he realized the danger.
In the chaos, the Quaffle, which was originally in Dean's hands, was quickly stolen by Draco, who stretched out his hand.
In this sudden blizzard, unlike the scene at the beginning of the game, when Slytherin led ninety to thirty, Draco?? Malfoy's performance became more and more extraordinary with the bad weather, and the wind and snow did not hinder him, and Draco scored sixty points out of the ninety, which surprised his Slytherin team, after all, because Draco and Alan had gone to Durmstrang as exchange students last year, no one had seen him participate in regular Quidditch matches for a whole semester.
Draco, who had previously been a Seeker, did not show the same aggressiveness and flying skills as he did today, and although he was reassigned to a position of chaser that he should theoretically be more rusty with, Draco's skills improved rather than regressed, as evidenced by Slytherin's score and the enthusiastic cheers in the stands.
Thirty of Gryffindor's Thirty Percent Are Ginny?? Weasley obtained, which made Zacharis much more restrained, no longer saying that Ginny entered the team because of Harry's girlfriend relationship, but instead describing Gryffindor lacking a main offensive point, Katie?? How weak Bale was on offense.
This caused the Gryffindors to be dissatisfied, and they couldn't refute themselves to Zacharis, and the little lions who heard them taunt the Hufflepuffs next to them - sarcastically mocking them in Cedric?? After Diggory's departure, the team has not completed a rebuild for two full semesters, and it looks like they will be at the bottom again this year.
Harry's eyes narrowed through the snow, a whistling sound rang in his ears, Harry flipped his head down, dodging Pansy's desperate Bludger, he leaned forward, and just now, he spotted the Golden Snitch, hovering near the Slytherin stands.
Emily, the Slytherin Seeker, also noticed Harry's movements, and immediately spotted the Golden Snitch and immediately turned around and chased after Harry.
Facing the cold wind and snow, Harry's glasses were almost covered by heavy snow, because it was a sunny day during the game, Harry did not give his glasses waterproof and moisture proof, and he could not use a wand at this time, he had no time to protect his glasses, Harry tried his best to catch the traces of the golden snitch through the white foggy glasses.
Emily didn't have such an obstacle, and after taking attribute potions and not having glasses to cover her, she quickly chased after Harry.
It was only then that the thin wings of the Golden Snitch vibrated and burrowed into the intricate shelves below the junction between the pitch and the stands, and Harry and Emily glanced at each other and did not hesitate to dive into them, weaving between the high and low beams, chasing the Golden Snitch.
The spectators in the stands stood up in amazement, trying to see what was going on.
The Slytherin batsmen no longer counted the rest of the team, Pansy and Goyle hit each other with a Bludger on the field and followed with constant passes, Ron and Andrew?? Seeing this, Kirk no longer had to protect the rest of the team, and they hurriedly chased after them to try to protect their Seeker.
For a moment, the spectators on the field could not see what was happening below, only heard the sound of thumping from below.
As soon as she got into range, Pansy aimed the Bludger at Harry's head and struck it hard, "Break your head!"
Harry quickly leaned over and the ball hit the crossbar above his head, but he gritted his teeth and flew forward quickly, ignoring the danger behind him.
Emily flew fast, in such a small space, her petite size was more advantageous, Harry looked at Emily with a somewhat fearful expression and pulled the broom to the left in a large arc to avoid Andrew?? After Kirk hit a Bludger, he was thankful that if it weren't for the ludger's harassment and inexperience, Emily, who was more agile and quicker than herself, would have taken less time to cross the bars with her quicker reflexes, and he would have been pulled more away in this terrain.
Harry, who started chasing Emily again, is also glad that he listened to former captain Angelina at this year's tryouts?? Johnson's advice to him at the end of last semester was to choose Andrew?? Kirk instead of Jack?? Slauper.
Neither of Fred and George's substitutes were qualified Quidditch batsmen. Kirk's performance was actually terrible in Gryffindor's quick win over Hufflepuff last semester when he was suspended himself, when Zacharis?? When Smith, the current commentator, rushed towards him with a Quaffle, Kirk was very unkind to Gryffindor and began to scream and dropped the broomstick himself, and Harry was not very happy with Kirk and Slauper's performance during the audition, but thought Andrew?? Kirk or better than other Jacks?? Laughper was better, because Jack had already been knocked unconscious by his own bat in his second training session.
Even Ron, who was still in the goalkeeper position, thought they were terrible players, worse than himself - at least Ron didn't think he would drop his broom for no reason.
As he got closer again, Harry, who had stopped thinking about it, was almost neck and neck with Emily, he looked at the golden snitch in front of him, pursed his lips, and slammed his shoulder into Emily.
It's just that Harry knew that the other party was Alan's sister and a junior witch, so he didn't use all his strength, but to Harry's surprise, his control broom hit Emily's shoulder with his shoulder, and what he thought would happen didn't happen, he felt as if he had hit a hard iron plate, and he stumbled and almost hit a crossbar, but fortunately, the reaction force caused by the force used was not too large, so Harry had the opportunity to quickly stabilize his body.
Thinking that he didn't find a good angle, Harry flew up and swooped down and crashed into Emily again from another angle, but the result was still Harry himself being bounced away, Harry didn't expect that Emily, a little witch who looked delicate and weak and was afraid of being hit by a Bludger, would have such a strong body.
The batsmen of both teams were constantly swinging their bats for control of the Bludger, and the Slytherin duo was undoubtedly the more talented and capable in this position, with Pansy and Goyle working together to give them more chances, and whenever they had the chance, they would definitely attack Harry as their primary target.
Harry, who was already at a disadvantage, only heard the sound of his head swishing, so he had to dodge, turn and turn, spin, go up and down, and the Bludger hit one bar after another, and the situation was very dangerous to give up chasing Harry.
The situation was in crisis, and Ron didn't try to compete with the other party anymore, relying on his tall stature and long hands and feet, and letting his bat swing around him, hoping that Pansy and Goyle would have some scruples to get the Bludger before them.
"Oh, King Weasley, do you want to save Poter, and don't look at your own catties. Instead of being afraid of being hit with a bat, Pansy sneered and approached Ron, hitting him directly in the head with the bat, but retracted it before it could reach the foul.
Ron, who thought that the opponent would give himself a stick regardless of the foul and free throws, was hit by another force and almost fell off the broom as soon as he relaxed.
Goyle sulked and slammed into Ron, "The red-haired poor ghost, and me." ”
It turns out that just now Andrew?? Kirk also tried to stop Goyle just now, but his strength was no match for this big man, and he was already thrown to the lawn of the field in the entanglement with Goyle.
Seeing this, Ron yelled at his teammate Kirk, who had just recovered his breath and turned his head on the ground to look for his broomstick, that he didn't even understand, and gave up the entanglement with Pansy and Goyle, and desperately urged his broom to rush straight to the top of the junction between the stands and the court on the other side, intending to start following Ha directly here to protect him with his bat and create an opportunity for his friend to catch the Golden Snitch.
For the time being, no one stopped Pansy and Goyle from becoming unscrupulous, and they kept aiming their Bludgers at Harry.
Harry's back had already been hit twice by the ball, and now it was only with Gryffindor's desperate courage that he kept chasing Emily without giving up.
As they circled the pitch, they finally flew to the area that Ron had entered in advance, and as he tried to follow Harry above the stands, he kept slamming his bats into the Bludgers of the opposing batsman, and the Seekers of both teams had each stretched out a hand aimed at the Golden Snitch flying in front of them.
However, Goyle and Pansy, who are now unobtrusive, did not attack blindly this time after several unsuccessful attempts, but made a slight attempt to control the time of the only Bludgers they had in the field, allowing them to be viciously hit at the same time.
Two Bludgers flew towards the back of Harry's head in both directions, and Ron had no choice but to throw his bat away and hit the one that was farther away from him, while he could only block the one closer to him with his body.
Goyle's tremendous force knocked Ron flying, shattering the beams, and was bounced off the Hufflepuff audience at the exclamation of the audience, and some of the little wizards who didn't have time to dodge were knocked down by him, and Ron's arms and legs were twisted in strange positions at this time, and he let out a painful groan on the ground, losing consciousness in a bout of pain.
"Ron!" Harry heard the movement coming from behind, turned his head and just saw the scene where Ron blocked the Bludger for him, Harry's eyes were split, at this time, he felt that the broom that he was flying forward froze for a moment, as if it was pulled away by a pair of invisible hands, Harry who had not completely turned back could no longer control his broom and flew out after hitting the stand, the broom was completely broken by him, and the glasses were blown away by this force, and he fell on the grass after breaking through the plank next to the court.
A sigh of regret sounded from the stands of Gryffindor, and many young wizards pursed their lips, now as long as Emily of Slytherin?? Harris catches the Golden Snitch and the game is over.
"It's really useless, Ron didn't care about his own safety to protect him, he actually failed Ron's effort and fell away, and now the Golden Snitch must be Slytherin's. "Angry and stomping Lavender?? Brown complained to her Indian-American friend.
Harry, who was not unconscious, propped up his upper body in pain and looked up in disbelief, just now their position was on those brackets between the stands and the court, so the time he was in his first year was Quirinus?? Quirrell's murder was different, and the other wizards couldn't see where they were - so the loss of control wasn't the effect of a wizard in the stands using the Confusion Charm.
Then the only one who can do this is Emily?? Harris too.
Recall that Emily was chasing the Golden Snitch at a distance from him, and at that time she was definitely not able to reach her broom with her hands, and it was forbidden to carry a wand during the race.
Emily was only in her second year and was able to do the wandless spell that only a few of the best in the upper class, or could she cast a difficult confusion spell without a wand? Thinking of her amazingly talented brother Alan, Harry thought it wasn't impossible, but Mrs. Hodge and the rest of the audience didn't seem to notice it, and Harry realized to himself that he had no evidence of it at all, so he could only swallow the bitterness in his stomach. If he did, even his Gryffindors would think that he was shirking the blame for the loss, making excuses and telling lies - as they had done every semester before, misunderstanding themselves again.
Of course, this has to exclude the Gryffindor Miss Know-It-All. Hermione, who had been practicing wandless spellcasting with Harris during the summer vacation, was scratching her unkempt hair in the Gryffindor stands, and her keen insight and understanding of Emily's spell-casting habits made her notice the small movements of Emily's fingers on the big screen.
Without Harry and Bludger, Emily nimbly chased the Golden Snitch around, and when she was about to break out of the wooden shelf, she straightened her arms and closed her fingers, and the Golden Snitch was firmly held in Emily's palm.
In fact, Alan, who was very satisfied with Emily's cheating and not being caught, withdrew his gaze and gently blew away the snowflakes that fell on the wood in his hand, he just took out the piece of wood that he put in the storage space, and casually turned a licorice wand candy into a carving knife, and began to peel the bark of the wood, and asked the light-haired blonde witch next to him who was smoking in his ears because he had eaten too much pepper, "Who's it?"
"Luna?"
"Don't talk crazy. ”
