Chapter 322: Malfoy Makes Trouble

The biggest difference between this three-school Quidditch match and previous competitions is that the schedule is tight, and three matches will be played over five days.

The schedule is already known, the first match is the host Beauxbatons vs. Hogwarts, the second game is Hogwarts and Durmstrang two away teams head-to-head, and the last game is Beauxbatons vs. Durmstrang. The schedule is favoured by the hosts, with the other two away teams having to play two games in a row.

It can be seen that this match is a great test of the physical strength and spirit of the Hogwarts players.

Therefore, in the field suitability training on the first afternoon, Zhang Xu and his teammates did not engage in too intense exercise, but flew a few laps around the Quidditch pitch in Beauxbatons to familiarize themselves with the field, and the chasers and goalkeepers did shooting and saving exercises together for a while, while the seekers kept carefully observing the field.

After everyone warmed up and sweated a little, they stopped and gathered on the lawn in the middle of the pitch to discuss tomorrow's tactics.

Since they did not know the technical characteristics of Beauxbatons' side, the second game was likely to be arranged by Durmstrang, so everyone unanimously decided to use the most aggressive tactics arranged by Mr. Brian Clough in order to catch the opponent off guard, and then see whether the situation continued to attack or shrink the defense. If there is an opportunity in the game, then increase the strength of the attack and try to brush up more points. If you can't do anything, then shrink your defense and counterattack, and put the winner in the hands of the Seeker.

After the pre-battle tactical meeting, everyone packed up their things and left.

Watching a group of people leave the court with a smile and a smile, Zhang Xu knew that there was no need to worry about their spirit this time. Mr. Brian Clough had previously worried that the two matches in three days would cause serious psychological pressure on the players, but now it seems that he has underestimated the psychological capacity of this group of students. Now this group of students has encountered many major incidents in the past few years, and their nerves have long been exercised enough.

In terms of mentality, Zhang Xu feels that there is nothing to worry about, and the technical and tactical level of the current batch of players is quite good, which makes everyone seem to have a great advantage now!

The start of the official match was similar to what everyone expected at the pre-war meeting.

On the second day against Beauxbatons, the Hogwarts players didn't give the hosts any face at the start, scoring three goals in a row before they could react.

After Beauxbatons' players recovered, they launched a fierce attack on the Hogwarts goal. Fortunately, Ron did a good job and kept the Hogwarts side on the ground. Hogwarts saw that Ron was in a big position today, so he fought against Beauxbatons without worry.

However, in the midst of the days when the Quidditch players of Hogwarts were fighting for glory in France, something unexpected happened, or to some people expected, at Hogwarts.

In the wee hours of the morning, Malfoy and three men rushed out of the common room of the Snake Courtyard.

"Falaneir, go to the kitchen and see if there's anyone there." Malfoy said to a boy next to him.

The boy named Faraniel nodded, and quietly walked in the direction of the kitchen.

After a few minutes, Faranier came back and said to Malfoy, "There's no one in the kitchen anymore. ”

Malfoy nodded, then turned to a girl behind him and said, "Oneijous, you go ahead, watch out for Filch and the ghost, we'll follow." ”

Oneijus nodded, cast a disillusionment spell on herself, and set off. Malfoy: After waiting for a while, they set off on the route they had predetermined earlier.

The three men Malfoy brought out tonight were all his friends in the Snake Yard, and although the three of them were not Malfoy's henchmen like Crabbe and Goyle, they were also friends who usually had a lot of fun. Unlike Crabbe and Goyle, these three are not only strong, but also have good brains.

A while ago, when Malfoy was in the labyrinth to participate in the Defense Society's activities, he pretended to accidentally ask why he didn't move the Defense Association logo in the Requirement Room to the maze.

Malfoy stopped talking after picking up the rhythm, and many of the students who participated in the Defense Society's activities were interested in the proposal.

Since everyone was driven here by Percy, this made everyone very worried about the situation of the Defense Association, for fear that they would be banned by Percy one day.

If the logo of the Defense Association is moved to the labyrinth, there is a sense of formally reorganizing the Defense Association outside, so everyone is in favor of the proposal to move the logo of the Defense Association.

Malfoy then volunteered to take over the task of stealthily bringing the sign out at night, and pulled Faranier, Onizus, and Muskino with him.

According to Malfoy's own calculations, Faraniel can help himself, Onijus, who is proficient in the illusion charm, can find his way ahead, and the small Masquino can be sent to lure Filch away if necessary.

The ideal is very plump, and the meat of reality is a little less.

On the stairs on the second floor, Malfoy and his party almost ran into Filch, who was patrolling the night, but Onijuus found Lady Loris behind a suit of armor in time, and Malfoy was reminded that they had to walk around from other places.

As a result, they had not gone far before they encountered Peeves, who was sitting in a prank, preparing to play a prank. Fortunately, Faranir learned the sound of Barrow the Bloody Man, which scared Peeves away.

Malfoy's group finally arrived in the Room of Need.

Walking into the Bing Room, which had been used by the Defense Guild in the past, Malfoy asked Onizus and Maschino to take care of the wind outside. He and Faranire walked under the Defense Association's logo.

The emblem of the Defense Association is a flag painted with the emblem of the Association, which has been hanging here for so many years.

Malfoy and Faraniel removed the Defense Society's logo on the wall, and then carried it to the center of the labyrinth, still unharmed.

After rehanging the flag on the tree wall in the middle of the labyrinth, Malfoy and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike the other three, Malfoy's real reason for his relief was that the other three didn't notice anything strange about the flag.

Just as Malfoy and the others left the labyrinth, an unknown silly bird on the tree wall of the labyrinth watched them walk back to Hogwarts Castle and flew into the depths of the labyrinth.
