Chapter 120: The pinnacle of 'traditional' Quidditch

According to the Daily Prophet, the frequency of injuries in Quidditch matches is very high.

A regular Quidditch match has a total of 14 players, but with the number of substitutes included, the average number of injuries per game can reach more than 20.

Not because of anything else, because of the simplicity of the rules, and because of the red eye every time, at least seven out of ten Quidditch matches will turn into a whammy.

The battle between the two sides on the field is not tactics and ball skills at all, but physical fitness and martial arts skills.

And in the early days of Quidditch's development, teams led by the Wigtown Wanderers even used off-the-board moves.

What tactical intimidation, standing in front of the opposing player with a boning knife or something, similar things abound.

It can be seen that this is already a Quidditch tradition.

And now, Connor is in front of him a 'traditional Quidditch' showdown.

Regardless, Marcus's actions were definitely foul, and he was sent off as Slytherin captain after Gryffindor and other houses strongly condemned him.

But even so, there was no worry on his countenance, but a victor's smile.

In his opinion, this 'one-for-one' behavior is very profitable, he is nothing more than a chaser, but the captain of Gryffindor is the goalkeeper.

Chasers are easy to develop, and Slytherin has substitutes, but goalkeepers are not necessarily.

Especially for Gryffindor, who like to rush forward, they are impatient and almost reluctant to keep the goal there.

With Wood off the pitch, Gryffindor was reduced to the point where no one was available, the three Quidditch frames were empty, and the goalkeeper who was on the makeshift was not as skilled as Wood.

As a result, Slytherin's scoring rate suddenly became outrageous.

Not only did they overtake the score in one go, but they even widened the difference.

And in the process, almost all the players on both sides have changed.

It's like settling all the grudges that have been going on for a long time, and in the end, both sides have a tendency to play red eyes, and they seem to prefer to play people more than balls.

The batters' bats no longer drove away the Bludgers, but instead struck them together like melee weapons, and the chasers smashed the Quaffle into someone's head.

"So what the hell is Quidditch looking at......"

Listening to the mixed insults and applause in his ears, Connor only felt his head buzzing.

In fact, at this moment, the situation on the field can be regarded as clear.

Slytherin was in a league of its own, while the other three houses stood together and united.

But even that didn't change Marcus's physical and tactical success.

Although it is not at all appropriate to be the first to attack, after losing captain Wood from the beginning, Gryffindor's decline is irreversible.

Even later, they completely let go of their hands and no longer cared about any rules, but the difference between the points that had been widened by Slytherin seized the opportunity could not make up for it.

And more importantly, if you continue to play like this, the field may be reduced to the point where everyone except for the player who goes to find the ball will be dismounted.

The house team at Hogwarts is not a regular team after all, and it is not easy to put together an official seven plus a few substitutes.

Now, if Gryffindor wants to reverse the difference, it will probably have to pin their hopes on the last hope - the Seeker Harry Potter.

Now only the Golden Snitch can reverse the situation.

As the youngest member of the varsity team in history, Harry clearly has his own unique characteristics.

"Look! Harry Potter seems to have discovered something, and it seems to be the trail of the Golden Snitch! ”

Hogwarts Cup commentator Lee Jordan was a Gryffindor student, and in the matchup against Slytherin, his words inevitably favored Gryffindor.

"As long as Harry catches the Golden Snitch, then this terrible situation directed by Slytherin will be reversed!"

It's the same now, Lee Jordan's original intention was to revive Gryffindor's morale and save a bit of confidence.

But as his commentary spread through the Quidditch arena, Slytherin instantly noticed the famous 'Savior'.

And so, the flames of the war finally burned to the Seeker.

The Slytherin players quickly approached Harry, trying to use their mastery of 'martial arts' to pull the Seeker off the broomstick, but approached with a protective mindset.

Seeing this, all the audience became nervous, and Connor yawned a little unsociably.

"It's almost over......"

"Huh?"

Ernie, who was sitting next to him, was stunned.

"Harry did spot the Golden Snitch, and if he catches it, the game is over."

Don't ask, asking is the rule.

Although Connor wondered why catching the Golden Snitch meant the end of the game, there was no way, it was the accepted rule.

"Quick! Knock him down! ”

While Harry used the Halo 2000's performance to track the fraternity of the Golden Snitch all the way, the Slytherin side chose to take a gamble.

Their Seeker is not good on their own, so they can only pin their hopes on their 'Slytherin elbow'.

As long as Harry Potter is knocked down, and as long as the Gryffindor Seeker is lying down, then winning this match is equivalent to winning the game completely!

"Close to him! Fast! Stay close to him! Shoot him down!! ”

After being chased and intercepted, Slytherin finally managed to get close to the relatively skinny Seeker with his strong physical strength and numerical superiority.

There's no such thing as friendship first and competition second in their dictionary.

From the very beginning, from the moment Captain Marcus made that foul battle plan, they were going for the final victory!

"Terrance! Don't care about your job finding the ball! Knock Harry Potter down for me! ”

"But it's good to catch the Golden Snitch ......"

"Do you look like you can catch it?!"

In the midst of that cacophony of insults, Slytherin's Seeker, Terrance Higgs, had flown straight into the air of Quidditch with Harry Potter.

The Golden Snitch is there!

But at that moment, he was knocked out of the way!

"Poof......

The sudden onslaught made it difficult for Terrance to sustain himself, and he grabbed the broomstick with one hand, but the flying broomstick that lost control sent him straight into the audience.

'Knock'

A gut-wrenching sound rang out, and he slammed into the Slytherin students who had been cheering earlier, knocking Malfoy and his two henchmen unconscious.

"Harry Potter did it!"

"Harry Potter has been fouled!"

In the midst of Slytherin's denunciations, Harry clung to his broom.

After that, a drop of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

Now only he understands that it has nothing to do with him!

"My broom...... How did you move on your own! ”
