Chapter 888: Who will you save first if you fall into the river at the same time?
After the free throw, the tactics of the Ravenclaws changed a little, after the competition just now, they figured out the tactics of the Slytherin Quidditch team today, aside from the role of the Seeker, only Draco Malfoy is outstanding and has strong personal ability, Patcy Parkinson is also good, and the strength of the others is very average, so no matter where Draco flies, there are at least two people around him at any time - But that didn't seem to pose much of a threat to Draco's offense, and he continued to dominate almost the entire team by himself, even leading the score to sixty points, although he seemed to be starting to get more tired.
However, the Ravenclaws were not too nervous about this, with the level of other Slytherins, even if Ravenclaw had one less person to defend because he had to contain Draco, with the tacit movement and cooperation of the Ravenclaws, it was basically enough to resist the Slytherin student league-level technical play.
The game continued for some time, and the score remained around 50 points ahead of Slytherin.
In the sky, Draco was preoccupied with a quick dash towards Ravenclaw's goal, a Bludger being knocked off by Pansy as she drove it above him, followed by — whoosh— bang—
There was a burst of exclamations from the court, and Edward's Bludger hit Draco's shoulder, instantly causing his body to tilt to the side, and Draco drew an arc in the air, ignoring the cold sweat from the pain on his head, and stubbornly attacked the opponent.
Now that Slytherin is once again 60 points ahead of Ravenclaw, one more goal would allow Emily to catch the Golden Snitch without pestering Cho Chang.
At this time, there was another commentary from the commentary table, which had no sound coming, and a commentary that was not the narrator came out.
"Slytherin has a 60-point lead for the time being!" Professor McGonagall shouted into the microphone in front of Luna, who was in a trance again. "Is it, that's already?" said Luna, blankly, "Oh, look! Ravenclaw goalkeeper Lisa Dupin saved a batman's bat!
Unlike the relaxed environment in the stands, where another round of laughter was played, the pitch seemed to have reached a fever pitch.
The Ravenclaw batsmen cooperated with each other to exchange the Bludger ball in the air and attack Draco, Pansy was exhausted and panting, and wanted to keep Draco safe, only to find that the Ravenclaw chasers liked to deliberately pass the Quaffle in front of Draco a few times before completing the attack.
"Damn, Draco, they're deliberately hanging you, making you feel like you're going to be playing hard, and constantly draining your stamina!" Pansy cursed through gritted teeth, her own swinging bat arm feeling like it was about to lose its strength, "They deliberately dragged the score around 50 points!"
Draco didn't say anything, and tried to control his broomstick with his trembling hand to fly towards the flying Quaffle - it wasn't the first time Slytherin had pulled the score to sixty, but each time Ravenclaw narrowed the score to fifty at a faster pace.
As time went on, even the Slytherin chasers had to start to get involved in the pressure of sharing the pressure on Draco, but for technical reasons, the offense almost had to rely on throwing the Quaffle to Draco to complete the attack.
And because of being hit by the Quaffle several times and the lack of physical strength, Draco couldn't help but bow slightly and lay on the broom when he was in the gap, the sweat on his forehead was dried by the wind in the sky, his eyes like goldfish eyes now looked a little dull, his face was very embarrassed, he gasped violently, almost out of strength, he had already sensed the other party's intentions, but thinking that there was still a 10-point gap, he gritted his teeth and attacked in the direction of Ravenclaw.
There was hope in this way, and she was repeatedly pressed back, and Emily, who was entangled with Cho Chang, slid lightly in the sky, but she was depressed, and even had the idea of giving up waiting and wanting to catch the Golden Snitch not far away - Draco did his best, and if Ravenclaw succeeded in dragging him down, then it didn't matter if he could catch the Snitch or not.
After repeated encounters, Draco, who was already about to lose his strength, completely relied on his perseverance and the last bit of physical strength to advance towards Ravenclaw's goal, he knew that this should be his last attack, and the Ravenclaws obviously knew that they were close again, and it was three people!
Draco's body trembled slightly from exhaustion, and the goal was close, but because of the proximity of the opponent's three chasers, Draco had to raise his already sore arm in advance, and tried to smash the ghost ball towards the goal - but he miscalculated his physical strength.
Watching the Quaffle fly into the air, it was obviously unable to reach the goal according to the trajectory budget, and the Slytherins on and off the field were silent, just ten points, but Draco had no strength, Slytherin lost - the students of the other three houses and the graduates who had returned to see the game had already stood up and started celebrating.
At this moment, a dark-skinned figure in a green jersey picked up the Quaffle dropped by Draco, and with a swift attitude, quickly threw the Quaffle into the goal guarded by Lisa Dupin, who was still focused on Draco's body—it was Blaise Zabini, who was Draco's friend and a member of the training camp before Allen's speech, and he had been cunningly waiting for this opportunity since he saw Ravenclaw's thoughts, even at the expense of letting his previous performance have no highlights at all.
A shrill whistle blew, and Lady Hooch blew the scoring whistle, and Slytherin managed to pull the score gap to seventy points.
Emily almost turned into a green afterimage, quickly swooping down from the sky, chasing the golden light of the position she had noticed for a long time, Qiu Chang, who had been entangled with Emily, did not froze like her teammates, she almost quickly drove the broom to follow.
There was a huge uproar in the audience, and the Slytherins were hoarse, too few of them compared to the three houses that all supported Ravenclaw.
Emily's afterglow swept to Cho Chang and the Ravenclaw team members who were a little panicked and began to try to hinder her, she gently touched the broom to change the direction of her flight, her body was completely on the broomstick, and with the amplification brought by the attribute potion, she used the Woolangon Shape Flying Technique - which caused the golden snitch in front of her to start changing its flight trajectory with her movements.
This technique can only be used by ordinary professional athletes, so that Cho Chang behind her and the chasing man in front of her can confuse Cho Chang behind her, so that Cho Chang behind her cannot distinguish the true position of the Golden Snitch and the Ravenclaws in front of him cannot accurately form a circle.
Qiu Chang followed Emily in the air to change direction, this rapid change of direction made her a little difficult to do as a professional footballer, but she was surprised that the little girl in front of her had such good flying skills as his brother.
At this time, every member of the Ravenclaw team didn't care that Emily was Alan's sister, and they didn't leave their hands to rush towards Emily, even the goalkeeper Lisa Dupin came out, they all tried to stop Emily, and the Slytherin players also broke out with unprecedented force to interfere - they didn't dare to make any fouls to get themselves free throws this time.
The chaotic entanglement of the scene bought Emily precious time, just as she was about to arrive, she heard the exclamation of her teammates behind her, Emily did not turn her head, in order to avoid the Ravenclaw Bludger, she directly grabbed the broom handle with one hand, hooked one foot to it, stretched out her limbs, and tried her best to reach forward in a posture called starfish hanging upside down— This was usually the goalkeeper's most vulnerable technique to the Bludger to ensure that the goal was held as much as possible to block the Quaffle, but it was used by Emily to dodge the Bludger.
Cho Chang looked at Emily in front of her with her hands closed together in a bit of a daze - her boyfriend Cedric Diggory, who is now a star player of the Montrose Magpies, has a personal skill of starfish upside down Gavulangon-shaped flight, and although Emily in front of her is not used together but carried out separately, being able to master this flying technique so proficiently at this age is enough to show her talent.
The tiny golden ball was clutched tightly by Emily in her hand, flapping her wings in despair. Emily's foot hooked hard, and the whole person was back on top of the broomstick, and she rolled in the air with the broom a few times to show her joy, and then straightened up and flew around the court, her hands raised in the air, and the Slytherins boiled.
As the commentator, Luna didn't seem to be particularly interested in such vulgar things as winning or losing games, and in a trance, her bulging eyes focused on the tip of the wand held by Professor McGonagall beside her, who was a veteran Quidditch fan and former Gryffindor Quidditch player, and was now a little excited about seeing the great flying show.
Luna asked a question into the microphone before Professor McGonagall came back to her senses: "By the way, don't care about the game just yet, I remembered a question I read today in the hometown magazine of Ravenclaw Seeker Cho Chang, gentlemen, your wife and your mother can't swim, but who would you save first if they fell into the river at the same time?"
Hearing the questions from the commentary booth, the spectators, who were celebrating or complaining, could no longer pay attention to the stadium, especially in many families like Harris, who watched the game together to kill time, wives looked at their husbands, mothers looked at their sons, and suddenly people came from the stands.
On Harris's side, Albert suddenly felt the attention from his mother Morgan Lefay and his lover Fleur, he suddenly felt that he was in dire straits, he was divided, and the always capable Auror was red, he and Allen, who was also beginning to be stunned, glanced at each other, stood up and said suddenly: "Brother take me to the bathroom, I am not familiar with this expanded stand!"
"Okay Albert, come with me!"
Allen, who said that he let his brother follow him, actually followed his brother, and on the way, among a group of men who found the same excuse to go to the toilet and ran away, the two of them ran ahead of the others with their extraordinary skills.
Looking at the chaotic Quidditch stands and fleeing, Hermione was very distressed to hear the confusion of Professor McGonagall in the commentary stand after finally reacting to this vicious question, and she stood up and said loudly, "For Merlin's sake! we wizards can do magic! Even those who can't soak their heads can throw themselves out of the water..."
"Mrs. Harris, if we fall into the water together, and we don't need Alan to go into the water, I will go and save you first!"
Before Miss Know-It-All could finish speaking, she heard this line coming from Penelope behind her.
