Chapter Twenty-Three: The Quidditch Showcase
Among the green robes, Zhang Hao, who was wearing a silver robe, was particularly conspicuous.
He didn't like the green Slytherin attire, so he changed his shirt to silver, which was also the main color of Slytherin.
If green represents Slytherin's insidiousness and cunning, silver represents Slytherin's pride and elegance.
Snape didn't emphasize the need for green anyway, so why change to silver?
After the start of the game, the two sides had a fierce battle for the ghost flyball.
Flint was still using the old tactics, and he spotted a beautiful girl and ran into it.
Zhang Hao was extremely disdainful of this, so he decided to end the game as soon as possible and not give Flint a chance to take advantage.
He roamed around, searching for the Golden Snitch.
That's right!
He ended up being a Seeker - because only then could he finish the game in the shortest possible time.
It was also the hope of all Slytherin colleagues, who did not yet know what that meant.
Draco misses out on being a Seeker and has to be a batsman - a batsman is at least a little more fun than a chaser.
Although the position is fixed, Zhang Hao is not ready to follow the steps.
He searched for a moment and found no trace of the Golden Snitch, and immediately rushed towards the Quaffle.
Now the Quaffle is in Angelina's hands, and she's dodging Flint's impact with her arm between them.
Zhang Hao saw the opportunity, flew past her in an instant, and took the ghost flying ball with his hand.
And then, and then do you need to say? Rush over and pitch the ball, of course!
Everyone was shocked to see that the Seeker had snatched the Quaffle, which had never happened before on a Quidditch pitch.
In the commentary booth, Lee Jordan exclaimed excitedly, "Oh my God, look at the Slytherin Seeker, he grabbed the Quaffle! Oh! No Seeker has ever done this, I don't even know if it counts as a foul." Let's hope he doesn't score, or this will be the first ever Seeker to score. ”
"It's too much!" Fred said helplessly, "This kid is a Seeker, how can he go and grab the Ghost Flyball?"
"He's the most unprofessional Seeker I've ever met. George joked, "Can you believe it?" it would be a surprise that he would throw the Bludger at me with a stick, and that would be the worst. ”
Almost everyone stared at the silver figure, and everyone was very conflicted, they wanted to see Zhang Hao score, but they didn't want Zhang Hao to score.
This is a contest between Zhang Hao and Wood, and outsiders can't interfere at all.
Wood's goalkeeping skills are indeed not bad, Zhang Hao made many feints left and right, but he was as stable as a dog and was not moved at all.
In desperation, Zhang Hao could only brutally rush to the goal, and this was the most helpless situation when pitching.
Because rushing is an unskilled way to score goals, you may collide with the goalkeeper if you are not careful.
That feels...... As long as you experience it once, you don't want to experience it a second time!
But sometimes he has to do it, just like now, Zhang Hao has no choice but to rush the door.
But it wasn't too difficult for him to rush the door, after all, he was so fast......
"Come on!" Wood yelled, "I'm not going to let you score, not a single one!"
Zhang Hao smiled disdainfully and circled around Wood a few times like a satellite.
Wood was completely blindfolded, he began to circle in place, and he couldn't stop when Zhang Hao stopped and was about to pitch!
Bite!
The ball went into the empty goal, and Wood's face turned the color of pig liver.
As soon as he made a big wish, he was slapped in the face, and he was already ashamed of himself!
Who would have thought that someone would use extraordinary speed to engage in such a shameless trick.
He can pitch the ball directly, but he's playing the goalkeeper!
"You...... Don't go too far!" Wood said angrily, "You're just a Seeker, you don't have the right to pitch!"
"Really?" Zhang Hao said lazily, "I don't remember that Quidditch had such a rule." ”
Next, he snatched the Quaffle several times in a row.
Each time he threw the ball into the net with a very ornamental action, Wood was not at all tempered by him.
The score has been pulled to 90:0!
If this continues, Gryffindor will not even have any hope of scoring.
Now they could only count on Harry to catch the Golden Snitch first, and that was the only hope.
Flint and the others also felt that it was very boring, this game had become someone's show, and they were all just foils.
What is more sad than failure is that there is no sense of existence in winning!
When it was Gryffindor's turn to tee off, Draco yelled at Zhang Hao, "Stop playing! Potter has found the Golden Snitch, go grab it!"
Zhang Hao looked back and saw that Harry had indeed begun to sprint.
Draco, this guy, as a batsman, doesn't go to find a Bludger, but still pays attention to Harry!
Zhang Hao complained in his heart, and then rushed to Harry as well.
He couldn't see the Golden Snitch yet, and he had to follow Harry to find it.
Therefore, the Seeker is actually very unskilled, as long as he flies fast and catches accurately.
If you can't find the Golden Snitch, just keep an eye on the opponent's Seeker.
Anyway, Zhang Hao likes to do this!
It was like this last time, and this time it won't change tactics.
Anyway, I'm fast, so what if you find the Golden Snitch first?
Poor road with reluctance, that's how confident!
Zhang Hao rushed directly in front of Harry like a silver bolt of lightning.
But there was no shortage of surprises in the Quidditch arena, and Bludgers flew out of nowhere and smashed at Harry.
Danger was imminent, but Harry didn't notice it.
And according to Zhang Hao's flight speed, he seemed to be right between Harry and Bludger. The batsmen responsible for protecting him were thrown away, for which Draco yelled a few times.
So at this time, in the face of Bludger's harassment, he can only find a way to solve it by himself.
This is not a problem for him, as he can avoid being hit by a Bludger as long as he continues to accelerate.
But it was likely that his blocking caused Harry to spot the Bludger later.
It's no joke to get hit by a Bludger, and if you get hit in the head, that's the result......
The Gryffindor batsmen may not be able to protect Harry in time, they are chasing after him!
With this in mind, Zhang Hao decided to remind Harry. He shouted, "Harry, I'm going to overtake you! Watch out for the Bludger behind me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he accelerated wildly, overtaking Harry in an instant.
At the same time, he also spotted the Golden Snitch in front of him.
The little thing flies very happily, it dodges left and right, and is as nimble as a hummingbird.
Harry narrowly dodged the Bludger and chased after him from behind. He looks desperate, but his flight speed is not enough, and no matter how desperate he is, it will be in vain.
To make matters worse, Bludger is flying at him again!
The Gryffindor batsmen were brothers George and Fred, with George smashing the ball first towards Derian Psy (a Slytherin player).
He joked, "Harry, this Bludger seems to be stuck to you!"
