Chapter 40: A Broken Incident Caused by a Fire Crossbow Arrow (Part II)

"Cousin, cousin," in the auditorium. At noon the next day, Draco, who had turned around from nowhere, ran over in a hurry, "Did you hear that?" Draco's tone was hurried.

The heart said I heard a ghost? Daphany gave Draco a blank look, ignored him, and continued eating. Daphne knew that it was impossible for our Xiaolong classmates to hide their words and not say anything.

Xiaolong's classmate was as Daphne expected, and he continued: "Scarhead, Scarhead, Scarhead, he received a new broom, fire crossbow arrows, fire crossbow arrows!" Scarhead received a fire bolt! ”

"Oh!" Daphne nodded, and another bowl of sour bamboo shoots and crucian carp soup came. Since the Hogwarts elves learned Chinese food, Daphany has eaten a noticeable increase. I had to increase my exercise to stay in shape.

Unbeknownst to Draco, Daphne had already known earlier about Harry's possession of the Firebolt, and was certainly not surprised at all. Seeing that Daphany was unresponsive, Draco felt the need to emphasize the importance of this matter to him, "Cousin, Scarhead has got a fire bolt, a fire bolt!" You're not reacting right, right? ”

Daphne took the last sip of the soup and wiped her mouth contentedly. Then he looked at Draco and said with a smile, "He got a fire crossbow arrow, what does it matter to me?" That seems like a headache in your head, right? If Angelina and the three of them each have a fire crossbow arrow, then I need to be in a hurry, okay? ”

Draco was choked by Daphany, and after a long time, he sat down dejectedly and began to eat.

Daphany didn't care about Harry's firebolts, or was prepared for Harry's firebolts. So the reaction is minimal. However, the reaction of the rest of the academy was quite violent.

The first is the members of the various Quidditch teams.

Naturally, the Gryffindor players didn't need to say much, and they all rejoiced. Harry was their trump card, and most of the time he could grab the Golden Snitch. Occasional defeats, but none of them were his fault. In terms of strength alone, he is undoubtedly the best Seeker at Hogwarts. The only ones who can compete with him on a technical level are Cedric, and Draco is a little inferior. However, except for the first grade, Harry has been suffering from broom losses since then, and the limited number of losses has to be said to be related to brooms. But now, he had the strongest fire bolt he was currently powering, and it was far more than the other broomsticks. Gryffindor was suddenly confident about this year's Quidditch Cup.

Compared to Gryffindor, Hufflepuff was in a terrible mood. Originally, when Harry lost the Halo 2000 after the first game, although Hufflepuff didn't say anything, he was secretly happy in his heart. Their chaser team, like Ravenclaw, has undergone a major overhaul this year. Although everyone says that it is a strong army, whether it is strong or not, and how strong it is, can only be seen in the competition. However, if the opponent Seeker rides a Comet 200 or the Halo Generation, with Cedric in his hand, the odds are still very high. After all, everyone agreed that Cedric was not inferior to Harry's skills. And on the broom, Cedric, who has the latest light wheel 2002, also had an advantage before. But with the advent of the fire bolts, everything was turned upside down.

Ravenclaw is secretly scolding mothers, especially Roger Davis. It's basically scolding the mother openly. He lent Harry's broomsticks and the Gryffindors used them as sparring partners. But at this time, Harry got the fire crossbow arrow, so naturally he didn't need to borrow it, and of course the sparring matter was in vain. If it weren't for Kelly's pressure, he would have gone to the door of the Gryffindor Tower to curse the street.

Slytherin is relatively uneventful. This stems from the calmness of the captain Dafanie. In her words: We've finished playing Gryffindor and won! So what is there to worry about. No matter what happens next, it's six months away. During this time, it was enough to train Draco hard. Everyone else felt that what the captain said made sense. Draco burst into tears.

However, the next development of events was full of twists and turns.

First of all, Harry's fire bolts, which had just arrived and had not yet been hot, were taken away. The reason is to suspect that this unknown origin may be hiding dangerous magical traps intended to harm Harry Potter.

The Gryffindor team was indignant at this. Although it was Professor McGonagall who confiscated the broomstick, looking at the performance of the entire Quidditch team towards Hermione, Daphany was sure that this matter had nothing to do with Hermione. In subsequent contact, it was determined that it was indeed Hermione who reported the incident to Professor McGonagall.

Because of this incident, the trio is completely broken. Hermione was quarantined, and even Harry, who had a good look at her, had been not talking to her for the past few days.

While the other teams were rejoicing, the second and third games began.

The second match was Ravenclaw vs. Slytherin.

Although there is no Gryffindor sparring partner, the three new Ravenclaw chasers are still performing remarkably! At one point, it was inseparable from the fierce battle with the trio of Daphany. Even in the first ten minutes of the game, several small mistakes by Graham and Daphany suppressed Slytherin's score. 591 net

However, since the Golden Snitch did not appear too early, the match dragged on for twenty minutes. The shortcomings of the Ravenclaw newcomers are revealed - physical strength! Hogwarts has always been very heavy on reserves, and only Slytherin has been trained. In the other divisions, although the regular players are working hard, the alternate players are mostly paddling.

Ravenclaw's previous quest for a trio was untenable, with the reserve players not playing at all. Relative training is much more relaxed. This not only makes them inexperienced, but also suffers from physical fitness. It's not obvious when the game is shorter, but when it's a little longer, it becomes impossible to hide.

Ravenclaw showed their limits against Slytherin. Ten minutes! Just ten minutes after a high-intensity match, their chasers showed signs of fatigue and their error rate skyrocketed

In the end, by the time Draco got the Golden Snitch first with his faster and more agile firebolts, the score had reached 220:310. Add in the Golden Snitch bonus of 150 points, and Slytherin is a big win!

However, just when everyone thought that Ravenclaw was going to be reduced to a sandbag for other teams to brush up points this year, Ravenclaw made a comeback in the third game. With the bonus of the Golden Snitch obtained by the beautiful pursuit of the hand Qiu Zhang first, he defeated the Hufflepuff who had high hopes by 500:270.

Afterwards, however, the match was considered by most to be a Ravenclaw victory. Because Cedric, the captain of Hufflepuff and a Seeker, was injured by a poisonhorn used as a teacher in a magical creature protection class the day before the game. This poor child will have to lie in the medical wing for two weeks, there is no way, although the poison horn is relatively docile, it is also a four-star dangerous creature. Venom is still dangerous.

Because of this, Hagrid's original demonstration of the Poison Sac Leopard to the seventh-year Advanced Class was stopped, and Dumbledore strictly ordered him not to teach dangerous creatures with four stars or higher.

Daphany inquired, but Cedric's incident was not a teaching accident. The secretions of the venomhorns are all highly poisonous lava. But as long as you don't touch it, there is no danger. But at that time, a Gryffindor girl was cheap, and wanted to go to the Demon Venomhorn - because it looked cute and there was really no danger. Cedric tries to stop the girl, but instead he touches the poisonhorn. As a result, the skin on the back of the hand was burned by the sweat on the surface of the venomhorn.

But fortunately, neither Cedric nor his parents had any intention of pursuing this. On the contrary, because she was embarrassed, that girl had been taking care of Cedric for the past few days. Daphany suspects something might be going to happen to the two......

The Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw match was too late to change because of the suddenness of the incident. However, the Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor game did switch a bit after that. Gryffindor's opponent became Ravenclaw.

In this match, Harry is forced to ride a spare broom from the broomhouse. The whole team seems to be emotionally affected by this. In the end, he lost the game with a score of 230:390. Not only did Harry fail to grab the Golden Snitch, but Gryffindor also lost to Ravenclaw in the chaser's matchup. After two games, three new players have greatly improved both their experience and on-the-spot performance. Even Angelina's 160 points didn't change that.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Golden Snitch appeared early enough, the score would have been further widened.

And just Gryffindor is generally pessimistic that this year's Quidditch Cup is doomed. After two consecutive losses, when Wood even squatted on the court and hugged his head and cried, the turning point came!

After thirty-seven days of examination (Ron's precise calculations), both Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were able to determine that there were no hidden magic traps or evil spells on the firebolt sent anonymously. There is nothing wrong with the broom itself. So the broom was back in Harry's hands! This means that in the upcoming match against Hufflepuff, Harry will be able to use a firebolt!

Wood, who originally lost his soul, was instantly resurrected with full blood and full of blood! Begin to gnash your teeth and calculate the probability of finally getting the Quidditch Cup. It was his final year at the academy and he was desperate for a title more than anyone.

In the end, Wood confirmed that if they don't lose a single game in the future, there is a good chance of winning the eventual championship.

Slytherin have already played two games, winning both. There was also a game against Hufflepuff in the first round. According to Wood's estimates, Hufflepuff still has a chance to win if Cedric returns. Even if they lose, it doesn't matter. In the second round, Slytherin will face Ravenclaw and Gryffindor again.

Ravenclaw's strength is in everyone's eyes, and it looks like it's going to get stronger. A second-round win over Slytherin may not be out of the question. And if you beat Slytherin again, all three teams will win the same game! Then you have a chance to fight for points!

However, the premise of everything is one thing certain, Gryffindor can't lose a single game after that!

With that determination in mind, Gryffindor played their third and final game of the first round against Hufflepuff. And it's Cedric who has returned from injury, Hufflepuff in full form!
