Gryffindor is now in first place for the time being, and even if they lost the first game, they managed to recover their decline and jump to first place thanks to the tireless efforts of the entire team and the excellent performance of Harry's Firebolts.

The Hufflepuff lounge, filled with a faint scent of earth, is a circular low-ceilinged room, where the warm spring sunlight shines through the windows, and many green plants hang from the windows and ceilings, and it is fair to say that the Hufflepuff common room is the most calming place.

However, even in such an environment, the students in the lounge now maintain a solemn face.

'Tomorrow is our game against Slytherin. Cedric Diggory was a beautiful boy with a high nose, black hair, black eyes, who was in fifth year and was the Seeker for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, a central figure who could often make or break a match.

Of course, their strategy is not only limited to victory, but also because of the points system, they are also likely to win the game and lose the trophy, so they are very focused on the deployment of the strategy.

The Hufflepuff players are nervously discussing the tactics they will use tomorrow as they not only want to win, but also to win beautifully.

"I'm a little weird. A short, stocky, dark-skinned schoolgirl said suddenly.

"What's weird?" another student asked.

"The Slytherin students haven't even provoked in the past few days, and in previous years their house would keep provoking their opponents whenever there was a game. The schoolgirl said weakly.

"It's a good thing, we believe in fair play, and the current Slytherin students may understand that strength is the only effective way to prove themselves on the field. Cedric said.

It turns out that he was wrong, at least in such a game, strength is not the only one, if the hardware does not belong to the category of strength.

When seven Slytherin players appeared on the pitch on the day of the game wearing their green shirts, the whole stadium fell silent at first, and then the crowd in the crowd was boiling.

"OMG!"

"How can they do this!"

All the spectators almost stared out their eyes, they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Each of the seven members of the Slytherin team had a fire bolt in his hand.

Ron and Harry in the stands were under a spell, and Ron's mouth opened in surprise to the point where he could swallow a toad instantly.

"This, it's unbelievable. Lee in the stands screamed, frantically tearing his hair. "Seven firebolts, did they steal a match broom from some of the Quidditch national teams?"

Professor McGonagall then glared at him fiercely, warning him to speak in a more restrained tone.

The basic ethics of a commentator should still ensure a minimum of objectivity, and Lee Jordan did not do a good job in this regard.

"Maybe the audience didn't know all about the firebolts, but the Gryffindor team's Harry Potter used this style of broomstick in the previous games, which helped their team win a lot. Lee Jordan swallowed and said dryly, "This is the most perfect broomstick in the wizarding world today, there is no one, in addition to the perfect craftsmanship and material selection, the fire crossbow arrow even uses fairy craftsmanship, including pedals, support plates and brackets, which allow athletes to maintain balance even in bad weather without bumps." ”

Lee Jordan paused and continued, "I still don't know how they did it, but it is said that the production of firebow arrows is extremely low, because the goblin workers in charge of important links are prone to strike because of the slightest disagreement. ”

The crowd wasn't all avid fans either, but they only knew that the broom was powerful, and that Harry's firebolt had made the Gryffindor team so powerful, and now that there were seven of them in the arena at the same time, it was obvious how the game was going to go.

"Don't panic. "Cedric is still calm, he's the Hufflepuff Seeker and captain, so he has to stay calm at this point, and when the backbone of the team can't stay calm, it's really defeated.

"Calm down, friends, sometimes advanced equipment doesn't mean anything, I'm not comforting you, but think for yourself, this is their first time using fire ballista competitions, can they adapt to it?

The slump in morale was stopped at once by Cedric's words.

The appearance of the Seven Fire Ballista Arrows made even Lady Hodge stunned, she didn't expect the Slytherin students to be able to do this.

But she still made up her mind, her duty was to act as a referee, and it was their freedom for the students to use broomsticks.

"Captains, shake hands,, said Mrs. Hodge.

Flint and Cedric approached each other, walked towards each other, and shook each other's hands, and the latter smiled politely at Flint, which was insolent

Then the two of them went back to the front of their group.

"Broomstick!" said Mrs. Hodge, "three-two-one-"

Fourteen broomsticks took to the air, and it was clear that the Slytherin team was already far faster than their opponents, reaching the air first.

"Now the game is officially on. Lee Jordan began his commentary, "I have to say that the firebolts did give the Slytherin team a huge advantage, and all of their players were significantly more relaxed against Bludger, and the threat from Bludger would disappear with just a slight change of direction and acceleration. ”

"Now the Quaffle is under the control of Montague of the Slytherins, scurrying towards the Hufflepuff Circle Gate. Lee Jordan wiped his eyes and said, "Slytherin scored first!" Montague swooped down in a straight line and took the Quaffle into the goal, and the Hufflepuff goalkeeper didn't even react!"

The Slytherin auditorium erupted in cheers, crowded like rolling green waves.

"Now the Hufflepuff team's only chance is on the Golden Snitch, if their Seeker Cedric can catch the Golden Snitch in time, then they can still win this game!" said Lee Jordan kept cheering for the Hufflepuff team.

Cedric tried to keep himself calm, although he didn't agree with the idea that one person saved a game, but it seemed that the outcome of the game was probably pinned on him, except for the noise caused by the convection under the rapid flight, there was a sudden screeching sound behind him, he sharply turned the broomstick and flew vertically upwards to avoid the attack, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another Bludger pounced on him again, hitting him the back, making him almost fall off the broomstick。

Pansy was surrounded by him at the moment, and whenever Cedric made a move, Pansy would follow closely and harass him.

"What kind of tactic is this?" Lee Jordan shouted, "The two Slytherin batsmen and their Seeker actually dealt with the Hufflepuff Seeker Cedric at the same time!", Lee Jordan suddenly slapped his palm fiercely and said, "I understand, he is now using his equipment advantage to fight steadily, as long as he drags Cedric and relies on the excellent performance of the fire ballista, the Slytherin team can rely on the Quaffle score obtained by the chaser to win the game!"

At this point in the commentary, Lee Jordan's face suddenly changed drastically, and then he said solemnly: "In this case, Gryffindor will become dangerous." ”

"Are we in danger?" Ron muttered, a little incredulous of what Lee Jordan said, it was Slytherin and Hufflepuff who were playing right now, what was the matter with them?

"I'm afraid he's not wrong. Harry's eyes were blank, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

It didn't take long for Ron to figure out why.

The Quaffle passed through the Hufflepuff goal again and again, and their goalkeeper couldn't get used to the lightning-fast speed of the firebolts, and even if their eyes occasionally followed the firebolts, it was too late for their bodies to make judgments.

Ten points, twenty points, thirty points, fifty points, one hundred points, Slytherin's points are rising, and the Hufflepuff team, which has difficulty even touching the Quaffle, can still score zero.

Yes, they had trained Harry's firebolts before, but at that time it was for Seekers, because Harry was a Seeker, and he wouldn't be a Seeker as a Chaser, so all the exercises for reaction speed were done by Cedric, and the other Hufflepuffs didn't have such training.

"Cedric is another beautiful dive, he sees the Golden Snitch! He is heading straight for the only hope, oh no! The two Quaffles were hit hard by the Slytherin team's Bol and Derek respectively, and they were rushing in the direction of the Golden Snitch, and it was clear from the speed of the balls that they were using their best strength, and if Cedric tried to catch the Golden Snitch, the back of his head might be shattered!"

"It's a shame that Cedric chose to avoid these two balls. ”

"Jordan, if you can't continue to explain fairly and impartially, and continue to use such tendentious words, I think you—" Professor McGonagall reminded him again as she sat in the judges' seats.

Although she also knew in her heart that Slytherin's victory this time might defeat Gryffindor.

"Well, I'll try. Lee Jordan waved his hand and continued to explain.

Now the situation on the field began to turn one-sided, and the Slytherin team skillfully controlled the broomsticks under them, and delivered sharp blows to the Hufflepuff team, and the Hufflepuff team could not parry the opponent's stormy attack, and were scored by the ghost flying ball.

Even Cedric began to be a little numb, no matter how strong one person was, he couldn't do anything under the bag of three people, not to mention that the opponent's own level was not low, and he was still using the best equipment today, and a sense of powerlessness rose from his heart.

But he did not give up, but tried to cheer up, and continued to ride a broom towards the faint golden mang, which symbolized victory.

"Huh?" Cedric suddenly noticed that the attacks and harassment of several people had suddenly stopped, he suddenly accelerated, the golden lightning was not far in front of him, once he caught the golden snitch, the game was over.

There was no harassment, which made him feel relaxed, and he didn't have time to think about why, his left hand clenched the broom to maintain the speed of progress, Cedric's right hand quickly grabbed forward, and the wings of the golden snitch met his palm, dripping and spinning in his hand, and then slowly stopped in his hand.

But the audience did not cheer for him, and Cedric felt a little unusual, so he suddenly turned his head to look at the scoreboard as if he had just woken up from a dream, because he had been so focused on the game that he had no time to look at the score, and now that everything was settled, he had time to care about the score.

The score on the scoreboard is 500 to 150.

Astonished emotions rose in his heart, but it seemed to be taken for granted, he was so surrounded that he couldn't even communicate with his teammates, and then he saw that his teammates were all dead and had no fighting spirit.

Cedric finally understood why the Slytherin team had suddenly let him go.

Taking a deep breath, Cedric calmed himself down, although he lost this match, there was nothing to complain about, to be honest, he still enjoyed the feeling of challenging himself in such extremely unfavorable conditions, and he even felt that his technique had improved a lot.

He recalled the original Slytherin style of play, relying on physical advantages and small movements, which was really a little despicable, but today's game left him speechless.

All the players are back on the ground.

The captains of both sides approached again and shook hands.

Flint's face was beaming, as were the rest of the team behind him, who never imagined how easy it would be for them to win the championship.

"It was a good game and we were convinced. Cedric said.

"Oh, oh, is it?" Cedric's reaction surprised Flint, and to be honest, he had prepared a lot of taunts, and presupposed that Cedric might make excuses, such as relying on fire bolts to win, and then taunted him back. But Cedric's words gave him an awkward feeling of making a mistake.

"Alas. Cedric let out a long sigh, then smiled at his teammates and said, "It's about to be a holiday, do you think we should go to work and buy these seven brooms?"

This half-joking remark made the Hufflepuff team laugh again.

All the spectators spontaneously rose to their feet and applauded the defeated Hufflepuffs, the victorious Slytherins, and Cedric's mature actions.
