Chapter 41: Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw

"Can I take it away?"

Clark could hear Harry's voice trembling a little with excitement.

"Yes." Professor McGonagall actually had a smile on her face, "I'm sure you'll need to get a feel for riding this broomstick before the Planet Six game, right?" Potter—"

She stared at Harry, "You're going to have to win, okay?" Otherwise, we would have missed the Quidditch trophy for eight years in a row, as Professor Snape kindly reminded me last night. ”

Harry couldn't speak, so he nodded vigorously, and then took the firebow bolt and went upstairs with Clark back to the Gryffindor Tower.

They turned a corner and saw Ron coming towards them, grinning and smiling.

"She gave it to you? That's great! Listen to me, Harry, can I ride it and try it? Just tomorrow? ”

"Okay...... Anything......"

Harry was also very excited, in the past month, his mood had never been so relaxed as it was today, and a stone had finally fallen to the ground completely.

The trio turned into the hallway leading to the Gryffindor common room, where they saw Neville being questioned by Sir Cadogan.

"Password?"

"Strange skin."

Neville opened the door to the common room and was about to go inside, when he heard footsteps, and when he turned around, he saw Clark and the three of them, and hurriedly said hello.

"Hey, Clark, Harry, and Ron, come in together."

Harry and the others hurriedly quickened their pace, and when Clark saw this situation, he finally remembered why Sirius Black hadn't broken into Gryffindor's common room recently to search for Peter Pettigrew.

It turned out that it was because of the butterfly effect of his own making.

In the original book, Neville, who has not been changed by Clark, is cowardly, timid, and a little less brilliant in his head.

In this state, he could not remember the ever-changing passwords of Sir Cadogan, the new guard, so he had to write them down on a note.

Sirius Black seized the opportunity to steal the note with the password in place for Hermione's cat, Crookshan, to break into the Gryffindor common room.

However, this time is different, under the influence of Clarke, a time-traveler, Neville has changed a lot, becoming more confident, brave, and even his mind is much more flexible.

As a result, Sirius Black did not have the opportunity to obtain the Gryffindor common room password.

By this time, the three Clarkes had already followed Neville into the common room, and as soon as they entered, there was a sudden whisper of excitement around them.

Everyone turned their heads, and then the men who were screaming for the firebolts surrounded Harry in the middle.

"Where did you get that, Harry, did Professor McGonagall give it to you?"

"Can you let me try it?"

"Have you ridden it, Harry?"

"Ravenclaw is definitely no fun, they still sweep the seven stars on a broomstick!"

"Can you let me take that, Harry?"

People passed the firebolts around, admiring it from all angles, and Harry and Ron were surrounded in the middle, looking proud.

Clark was standing on the periphery, thinking about how to get Blake to get the password without arousing suspicion, but Hermione suddenly appeared next to him.

"What are you thinking, because of Sirius Black?"

"What?" Clark was stunned for a moment.

Hermione glanced around and saw that everyone else's attention was on Harry, so she said, "Obviously, isn't it, this broom must have been given by Black." ”

"You've guessed so accurately, why don't you apply for a professor of divination." Clark made a joke.

Hermione gave him a blank look, "Don't make a fuss, doesn't this come out as soon as you reason, you said it, Blake is wronged, he actually cares about Harry, plus his family has money, isn't this broom sent by him?" ”

Clark nodded, agreeing with her, and Hermione asked again, "Honestly, aren't you trying to exonerate him, why haven't you looked for him yet?" ”

"There's no hurry." Clark looked at Harry, who was surrounded by the crowd.

"Blake is a typical Gryffindor, reckless, impulsive, arrogant and stubborn, and if he comes to him, he won't work with us obediently.

You have to hang him first, make him impatient and powerless, in this case, he will be honest.

But now there's another problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Hermione asked.

Clark tells her about how to get Black into the Gryffindor Public Break, and Hermione has a headache because the key is how to disguise things as a coincidence so that they don't arouse the suspicion of the professors and Blake.

Neville then offered his opinion.

"Why let Blake into the common room? You're going to hang him and just leave him alone?

He couldn't get into the common room even after all kinds of methods, isn't it also a kind of torment? Anyway, you just have to make him feel powerless. ”

There seemed to be a flash of lightning in Clark's mind, yes, he was in a cognitive obstacle, why did he have to follow the development in the original book and let Blake into the common room?

He just needs to wait until Blake can't do anything before he appears in front of him.

After figuring this out, Clark no longer cared about Blake's affairs.

In the days that followed, Harry, who had been given the firebolts, became a star in the school, pointing out to him wherever he went.

He also took Ron to one last training session before the Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw match, so that when the training was over, Ron could try his hand at riding a firebow arrow.

Originally, Harry also invited Clark and Hermione, but they found an excuse to refuse, because Clark was not interested in riding a broomstick.

On the morning of the game, Harry went downstairs for breakfast with his fellow dorm mates, all of whom seemed to think that Firebolt needed to have a guard of honor.

Harry walked into the auditorium, and the students all turned their heads in the direction of the firebolts, and the auditorium was filled with excitement.

Clarke, who was eating breakfast, saw that the Quidditch players, including Malfoy, were stunned at the Slytherin long table.

"Do you see Malfoy's face?" Sitting down, Ron said happily to Clark, "His unbelievable look is amazing!" ”

Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor team, was also proud of the brilliance of the firebolt, and he happily asked Harry to place the broom in the center of the table and carefully turn it so that its nameplate was facing up.

Gu Bao

Soon, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students came to watch, and it was like a supercar, and no one, male or female, couldn't help but notice it.

Cedric Diggory came to congratulate Harry on getting such a great broomstick to replace his Light Wheel 2000, and Percy's girlfriend Penelope Crivat asked if she could touch the firebolt.

"Alright, alright, Penelope, don't wreak havoc!" Percy said excitedly as Penelope scrutinized the firebolts.

"Penelope made a bet with me," he told the players, "ten Galleons bet on the outcome of the game." ”

Penelope was a little upset when he heard this, put down the fire bolt, thanked Harry, and turned back to her table, Percy saw this, and hurriedly chased after her, and ate a piece of toast with her.

Clark shook his head at his humble appearance, as a cold, dragging voice came from behind them.

"You're okay with that broomstick, are you?"

Without looking back, just listening to the voice, Clark knew who it was.

Sure enough, Draco Malfoy came to see the broomstick, followed by Crabbe and Goyle.

"I think so." Harry said nonchalantly.

"Maybe it has a lot of special features, doesn't it?"

Malfoy noticed Clarke, who was sitting next to Harry, and his tone was a little more restrained, but it sounded malicious.

"It's a shame it doesn't have a parachute with it—in case you get too close to a Dementor."

Crabbe and Goyle laughed and laughed.

"It's a shame you can't have an extra arm, Malfoy," Harry muttered as he calmly shoved the bread into his mouth, "and you'll probably have a better chance of catching the Golden Snitch." ”

Malfoy narrowed his grey eyes as laughter erupted from the Gryffindor table, but finally glanced at the tall Gryffindor team members sitting at the table, and turned away.

Everyone watched as he walked among the rest of the Slytherin team members, and saw that the men had their heads together, presumably asking Malfoy if Harry's broomstick was really a firebow arrow.

After breakfast, at 10:30, the Gryffindor team set off for the locker room, and Clark and others also came to the stands on the court.

Compared to when they played Hufflepuff, the weather was exceptionally sunny and the cool breeze was refreshing.

Both teams took to the pitch and were greeted by thunderous applause.

The Ravenclaw team wore blue jerseys, and their Seeker, Cho Chang, was the only girl on the team.

The Gryffindor team's red jersey stood out, but even more conspicuous was the firebolt in Harry's hand.

The two teams face each other and stand behind their respective captains.

"Wood, Davis, shake hands."

Mrs. Hodge said crisply, and Wood shook hands with the captain of Ravenclaw.

"Ride on a broomstick...... Listen to my whistle...... Three-two-one-"

With a piercing whistle, the game officially began.

Harry kicked his feet, and the firebolt activated instantly, and it rose steeply, flying faster than any other broomstick, leaping high, much to the amazement of the young wizards sitting in the stands.

Lee Jordan, who served as the commentator of this competition, was even more excited to introduce the fire crossbow arrows at a large number of pages, as if he was advertising for it.

"The game has begun, and the biggest excitement of this competition is the fire crossbow that Harry of the Gryffindor team is riding, and the "Flying Broomstick" says that the fire crossbow is the national team's preferred broom in this year's World Cup——"

"Jordan, can you tell us how the game is going right now?" Professor McGonagall's voice interjected.

"No problem, Professor—I'm just giving a little bit of background. By the way, there is a built-in automatic braking device in the fire bolt that can-"

"Jordan!"

"Okay, okay, the ball is on Gryffindor's side, Katie Bale is holding the ball and rushing towards the goal, she is trying to throw the ball...... Well done, good girl! ”

Harry swept past Katie as he looked around for the golden light.

Ravenclaw's Seeker Cho Zhang followed closely behind him, and there was no doubt that she was also a good Seeker, but under the pressure of such top-of-the-line equipment as Firebolts, she seemed to have given up on searching for the Golden Snitch and kept an eye on Harry.

Whenever Harry wanted to dive in any direction, she would suddenly overtake him, block his way, smile at Harry, and force him to change direction.

Don't say it, it seems that it is the first time for Harry to face this kind of beauty trick, flying and restraining his hands, and he really doesn't dare to bump into Qiu Zhang, so he has no choice but to change direction.

"Show her your speed, Harry!" Fred yelled as he flew over to chase a Bludger aimed at Arya.

Harry reacted at this point, and as he rounded the Ravenclaw goalpost, Harry urged the firebolts to speed up, and soon, Cho was behind.

Just as Katie hit the second ball of the game and the Gryffindor pitch was boiling, Harry saw it too, and a golden light appeared close to the ground, flying around a fence.

Harry hurriedly swooped down, and Cho Zhang behind him followed closely behind him, but her broom was no match for a firebolt, and she could only eat ashes in the back.

But just as Harry was only ten feet away from the golden light, a Bludger burst into the air and interrupted his dive.

It's a Ravenclaw batsman!

Harry could only dodge the sudden, dodging the powerful blow, but in the crucial seconds, the snitch vanished.

"Oh!"

Gryffindor supporters let out a sigh of disappointment, while Ravenclaw cheered on their batsman.

George Weasley, in order to vent his anger, directly hit the second Bludger directly at the troublesome batsman, who was forced to roll in the air a few times in order to dodge.

The game was still very tight, with Gryffindor leading by eighty points and then coming back with thirty points by Ravenclaw, at which point Ravenclaw would have won if Cho Chang had caught the Golden Snitch before Harry.

Clark and the others noticed that Harry soon saw the Golden Snitch again, and he began to swoop towards Gryffindor's goal, but Cho Chang immediately appeared out of thin air and blocked his way.

"Harry! Now is not the time to be a gentleman! ”

Wood shouted loudly and violently as Harry jerked around to avoid a collision.

"If necessary, knock her off the broom!"

Harry glanced at Cho, her pretty face still smiling, and it made Harry feel his lower abdomen twitch strangely.

Damn, what's wrong with me!

Harry cursed, and when he turned his head to look again, the Golden Snitch was gone again.
