Chapter 484: The Silver and White Demon Soaring in the Sky (Part II)
At 11 a.m. on Saturday, the Quidditch tournament officially begins.
Madame Hooch stood in the middle of the court, waiting for the Quidditch players from both sides to enter.
"Listen, I hope everyone will participate in the competition in a friendly and fair manner. β
Elena noticed that Mrs. Hooch seemed to be addressing her specifically β which was not surprising, given that after the previous weeks of Bludger training, she even thought that Ms. Hooch would ......
"And ......"
Before Elena could finish her thoughts, she saw Ms. Hodge turn her head, pat the Gryffindor player on the shoulder in turn, sighed with a complicated expression, and looked into Oliver Wood's eyes seriously.
"Stay safe and don't work too hard...... It's just a school game, and you still have a long way to go. β
"Professor Dumbledore has already submitted his application to the International Association of Quidditch, and if nothing else, a judge will come over for the next competition. Depending on the actual situation, several new Quidditch supplemental rules may be considered. β
"Huh?"
Elena blinked, and said this...... The Quidditch version may be about to be updated?!
The girl looked up thoughtfully, her gaze slid over the distant faculty stands, and glanced at Albus Dumbledore, who was having a good conversation with Grindelwald......
Then for the next few games, let's go all out.
After making up her mind, Elena smiled slightly apologetic at Oliver Wood, who was standing not far away - the only thing she could do as a kind-hearted little witch was to give the Quidditch fanatic a heroic respect.
"Everyone, get on a broomstick!"
Ms. Hodge took a deep breath and blew her silver whistle hard.
The next moment, fifteen flying broomsticks rose into the air and rose high into the sky. The race is on!
The red Quaffle was tossed straight upwards by Mrs. Hooch, and Gryffindor Seeker Angelina Johnson controlled the broomstick to soar upwards to get the first chance of the first round.
However, before Angelina Johnson's broomstick could reach its fastest speed, a thin silver figure flashed past her, snatching the Quaffle and throwing it at her teammates behind her.
Harry Potter, derived from his father James Potter's talent for flying, is on full display in this moment.
Although Harry has always played the role of Seeker in the original books, it does not mean that he is only suitable to play the role of Seeker.
In fact, judging by the results of these weeks of training, and in terms of family tradition, he is no less talented as a chaser than he is as talented as a seeker - after all, his father, James Potter, is a talented chaser. (PS: This is the official design of JK Rowling, not a clerical error.) οΌ
"The freshmen's Harry Potter grabbed the Quaffle first, and without hesitation, he transferred the ball directly to Draco Malfoy in the back - the two alternated fast movements, nimbly evading Gryffindor's chaser Katie Bell, it's hard to imagine that they had only gone through less than two months of grinding and trainingββ"
The narrator was Lee Jordan, a friend of the Weasley twin brothers.
These days, he could hear the sighs of the Weasley twins almost after a training day, and of course he had the most to say about Elena Kaslana, but also about the other little wizards.
And now, he has seen with his own eyes the horror of these "little monsters".
"Draco Malfoy flew with the ball close to the ground β no doubt it was the wrong choice β to reduce the threat from below, but to lose the all-important high-altitude vision β as long as an opposing player was trapped, it quickly became a conceded goal-"
"Strange!Why didn't the Gryffindor players choose to descend to the height for the pack?!"
"Malfoy has reached the goal post, he's starting to climb in a straight line, and Harry Potter is on his left, ready to pick up! It's unstoppableβoh my God, are they going to score?!"
"Harry Potter blocked the attacking position, Angelina Johnson couldn't affect Malfoy! β
"Good, now it's Gryffindor with the ball, and the three Gryffindor chaser girls are fighting back. β
"Oh, Hannah Abbott, she actually broke the Quaffle directly from Alia Spinnet's hand! Luckily, Katie intercepted the ball in time, and Hannah could only rush around Katie for her next chance. β
"Well, Katie made a beautiful long pass and got the ball back into Angelina Johnson's hands - she was flying towards the Freshmen's goal - all the chasers were behind her-"
With Lee Jordan's swift commentary, the situation on the court changed rapidly.
Draco was still a little anxious, it would have been nice if he had chosen to pass the ball just now. β
Flying high in the air, Elena who had witnessed the first wave of the offensive battle shook her head, slightly unhappy with Draco Malfoy's decision. But she knows that after all, this is the first goal in the main game, and the boys, no matter how good the relationship is, they all have their own vanity and competitiveness.
"Alright, the warm-up is over, now it's officially started!"
Elena smiled slightly, and after circling in mid-air, her eyes locked on the Bludger swimming in the sky.
Compared to the Golden Snitch, the black Bludger is significantly easier to find.
"Huh?!!Elena Kaslana started to dive, did she spot the snitch?"
With Elena's sudden acceleration, Li Jordan's face suddenly changed and he shouted into the microphone.
Undoubtedly, as the focal point of the entire game of Quidditch, any movement of the Seeker is the focus of attention.
However, people looked in the direction of the silver-white figure that swooped through the sky, and saw only the moving black Bludger in front of her, and no other golden glittering objects were found.
"Oh, what does that mean?! is she trying to get Bludger's attention and sabotage Angelina's offense?"
Lee Jordan frowned in confusion, his mind recalling countless classic moves he had seen on Quidditch posters, and the Seeker did have examples of actively flying towards Bludgers, but most of them were meant to induce attacks.
However, from the current point of view, Elena is still a little too far away from Angelina.
"Meaningless and dangerous maneuvers, Miss Kaslana doesn't seem to know how powerful Bludger is. β
Lee Jordan, who claims to be a senior Quidditch expert, didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he could only frown and look at the sky, whether it was Longirus's feint or Colmar's second misleading, they were all using themselves as bait to deceive the opponent's Seeker.
But as things stand, if Bludger is really going to attack, it must be to lock on the closest Elena first, rather than Angelina Johnson, who is a little further away, unless a miracle happens......
Bang!
