Chapter 435: Can't Catch It
However, although in the morning, Darren said that he could control the time of the game, but there was nothing he could do about the rest of the time, and in the dressing room, almost until the last minute before the start began, Harry rushed into the dressing room, and the whole team was already changing and ready to play.

"Where have you been?" asked Ginny.
Harry whispered to her as he quickly put the red robe over his head and picked up the goalkeeper's protective gear and gloves.
There was deafening cheers and boos from the stands as the Gryffindor players walked out of the dressing room onto the pitch, but when Harry walked over to shake hands with the Hufflepuff captain, the pitch fell silent and people seemed to see who the goalkeeper was.
"It's strange that Harry is the goalkeeper of Gryffindor, he is supposed to be a Seeker," a dreamy voice echoed over the field, "and who is responsible for finding the Golden Snitch? Is it waiting near the goal......"
Mrs. Hooch's whistle blew, and Darren left the ground on his Super Broomstick, soaring into the air as fast as he had last year, leaving the rest of the team far behind, whether it was Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, a sight that undoubtedly brought back memories of the past.
"It was Darren! Harry was banned last year, he was a Gryffindor Seeker, he was very fast, he was very smart, he used to say to me, 'Those who have power can grab any wealth at will', my dad thought it was very philosophical, like the Ministry of Magic, they were going to take over Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the goblin's gold reserves......"
"Luna, commentary game! Now it's Hufflepuff's Cadwallader with the ball. β
"It turns out that the big man's name is Cadwallad, I thought it was Bib, no, Baggins ......"
Even if Darren was not interested in the game, when he heard such a commentary, he couldn't help but look at the commentary stand, the long pale blonde hair, and the necklace made of butterbeer stoppers...... Except for Luna, there will not be a second person in the whole of Hogwarts dressed like this, and sitting next to her is Professor McGonagall, who can see her depression from the sky, and such a narrator is indeed a bit unreliable.
As if to prove it, just as Luna was talking about Cadwallad, Bib and Baggins, there was a burst of cheers and boos on the pitch, and the goal was scored, and Cadwallad successfully shook Harry, who had little goalkeeping experience, with a feint, and threw the Quaffle into the goal, and now Hufflepuff is ten points ahead!
Harry said something in frustration, and looked at Darren, obviously urging him to speed up, now he knew that the goalkeeper was not easy to do, although the golden snitch was not easy to find, but in a way, it was easier than dealing with people.
After that, it was very simple, as usual, activate the scan control system, lock on the Golden Snitch, accelerate, slow down, reach out, this time, the speed difference was just right, Darren reached out to the Golden Snitch that looked as if it was hovering in the air because of the lack of relative velocity, and did not catch it...... The Golden Snitch quickly changed the direction of his flight and slipped away from the tips of his fingers!
"Darren, he suddenly accelerated, look at the speed, it's too fast, he should have found the Golden Snitch, yes, he stretched out his hand...... Unfortunately," Luna's ethereal voice came out of the megaphone, "he didn't catch it. β
But then, to everyone's surprise, Darren reached out again, as he had just done before, because he had always been firmly at the same distance from the Golden Snitch, or rather, he was sitting on a super broomstick.
"It's unbelievable that he can control it so well!" Luna said, "Ah, he didn't catch it...... It seems that he spends most of his energy on the broomstick. β
It's just that at this time, Darren stared at the uncertain golden snitch flashing in front of him with black lines on his face, although relying on the super flying broomstick, he can firmly follow this little bit, but after all, the body is still affected by the laws of motion, there will always be some shaking, and it has been said that his motor nerves are very average, or rather, in addition to metamorphosis, who can have such a fast reaction speed, empty-handed grasp can catch a small ball that can hide and seek with a broomstick, and the maximum speed of a fire crossbow arrow is 150 miles, or 241 kilometers per hour, which is about the same speed as a bow and arrowγ
What's worse is that because of his entanglement with the Golden Snitch, now the Hufflepuff Seeker has also rushed over, just because of the performance gap of the Broomstick, there is still some distance for the time being, but if it goes on like this, sooner or later he will catch up with him, after all, such a big living person is much more conspicuous than the Golden Snitch.
"Darren seems to be in a bit of trouble, he can't catch the nimble Golden Snitch, it's weird, I've never heard of a Seeker like this," Luna said calmly, and the Hufflepuff and Slytherin crowds below cheered......
However, at this time, Ginny took advantage of the opponent's distraction to equalize the score, and although Darren had not yet caught the Golden Snitch, the Hufflepuff Seekers could not catch them for a while due to their ultra-high flight speed and complex directional changes.
Finally, as the Golden Snitch made a straight flight, Darren grabbed the little one, and Mrs. Hooch's whistle sounded again, and the game was over, Gryffindor!Oh, he looked at the commentary stand, not knowing what the score was...... "Gryffindor won!" Luna's voice finally rang out, announcing the result of the match, and the cheers of Gryffindor in the stands resounded in the air.
When Darren returned to the ground, people rushed over to congratulate him, "Same as last time, in the common room, party!"
Despite the reluctance of the parties, Darren, who captured the Golden Snitch, was the protagonist of the gala party held in the Gryffindor common room, and although it took him a lot of time to do it, one would only see success.
Finally freed from the crowd, Darren sat in the corner with Hermione with a butterbeer, "You caught it several times," the other party was a little dissatisfied, "If it weren't for that broomstick, you wouldn't have succeeded." β
"I know," Darren took a sip of his butterbeer, "that's why I don't want to participate, this sport isn't for me." β
"Not for you? What exercise is suitable?"
ββ¦β¦ Guess!"
However, after that day, Darren inexplicably felt that Harry seemed to be a little alienated from him, and like Ron, he couldn't see anyone except during Charms, Transfiguration, and Defence Against the Dark Arts classes, who knows what was going on, maybe some kind of bear child's temper.
