Chapter 286: Victory

The sun-drenched Quidditch pitch is not as joyful as it used to be, but rather a bit of a sinister affair, and the reason for this is that this match is about who will win this year's Quidditch Cup.

Hufflepuff has already lost to Ravenclaw, and their chances of winning the title this year are slim, and the young wizards of this house are here just to join in the fun, but Ravenclaw is different, they are still strong contenders for the title, and if they beat Gryffindor today, then they will have a chance to challenge Slytherin.

Slytherin, who are trying to defend their title, clearly want Gryffindor to lose the game, not only because the two houses are rivals, but also because the Gryffindor team with Potter is always more of a threat than Ravenclaw.

For Slytherin, if Ravenclaw wins today, then captain Marcus Flint can basically pat his chest and say that the glory belongs to Slytherin!

One of the four houses is not concerned with themselves, and two expect Gryffindor to lose, such a spectator atmosphere is not friendly to Gryffindor, but Gryffindor, known as the House of Courage, is not afraid of such a scene, and most of the young wizards belonging to this house are shouting hoarsely, hoping that their team can feel their determination to support the team.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Remus--"

Hagrid stepped up the stairs behind the stands, spotting a seat behind Hermione and Ron, and tiptoed past Professor McGonagall and Flitwick, but knocked Professor Lupin and nearly fell off the stands.

"It's okay, Hagrid--"

Remus rubbed his shoulder, which was about to crack, and was about to ask Hagrid why he had come so late, when a small black dog suddenly popped out of Hagrid's messy hair that was scattered over his shoulder.

The moment they looked at each other, Remus recognized the little black dog's true body, and he opened his mouth in surprise, only to be met with a slightly swaying look.

At this time, Hermione, attracted by the movement behind her, turned her head, and she also saw Sirius crouching on Hagrid's shoulder,

"How did you bring it, Hagrid, Crookshank?"

"I'm catching goblins in the vegetable patch with Yaya. It's not like I'm going to carry it, Hermione."

Hagrid poked the little black dog's cheek with his finger and said angrily,

"As soon as I was about to go out, the little creature ran to the side of the court by himself, and it took me a lot of effort to catch it and lock him in the house, and before I had taken a few steps, it jumped out of the window on its own, and no matter how much I tried to catch it, it was useless--"

Remus laughed bitterly, he had heard Amosta say that Sirius was living in the Forbidden Forest, but he didn't expect that he would be so familiar with Hagrid.

"Oh, shit!"

Ron suddenly let out a cry of regret, and in the stands, the little wizards near them did the same, Professor McGonagall clenched her fists to her chest, and she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe.

"What just happened?"

Looking at Harry, who was rapidly stretching the distance from a pillar, Hermione asked eagerly.

"Harry almost caught the Snitch when that Ravenclaw batsman hit Harry with a Bludger, interrupting his attack!"

Ron said angrily.

The pace of the game was very intense, and in less than twenty minutes of the opening period, the score between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw had reached eighty-zero, and the Ravenclaw Seeker seemed to have found a way to deal with Harry, she had given up the competition with Harry to see who caught the Golden Snitch first, and only flew around Harry with all her might, intending to interfere with him.

"Despicable practice!"

Hermione could see what Qiu Zhang was trying to do, and she said angrily, "Why can't we compete fairly!" ”

"You're not very objective, Hermione--"

Remus glanced at Sirius and said with a smile,

"Miss Qiu Zhang's choice is very wise, isn't it, she can't compete with Harry, who has a firebolt, for speed."

That being said, Qiu Zhang's approach was obviously unpleasant, especially for the young wizards of Gryffindor, who could accept being defeated head-on in the arena, but strategy, tactics, and so on, in their eyes, were similar to intrigue.

"Harry, now is not your time to be a gentleman!"

In the arena, Wood yelled at a restrained Harry, "Knock her off the broom if you need to!" ”

"I understand, Wood!"

Harry replied with a weak heart, and when he turned his head, he saw that Qiu Zhang was still falling not far behind him, and the wind made the pretty Asian girl Ravenclaw's hair flutter like a waterfall, and she had obviously noticed Harry's gaze, and she smiled at Harry in the golden sunlight.

At that moment, Harry's heart throbbed, and an inexplicable feeling of suffocation rushed through his mind, making Harry's hand holding the broomstick a little numb!

It feels weird!

Harry thought to himself, but it was the game, and he didn't have time to think about why he was a little disappointed when he took his eyes off Qiuzhang's smiling flower-like face, forcing himself to focus on the game.

Of course, he couldn't have knocked Akihari off the broomstick, as Wood had said, and he wouldn't mind if it had been Malfoy.

But he had to get rid of Qiu Zhang, and if she was allowed to stare at him like this, then he wouldn't be able to do anything in this game.

After a short thought, Harry had an idea, he pressed down on the broomstick handle, and let himself dive to the ground as fast as he could, and sure enough, Cho thought he had seen the snitch and wanted to catch up.

Everything in sight blurred, and the two men fell in mid-air at an exaggerated speed, and when they were still thirty feet above the ground, Harry suddenly flattened the broomstick, and after a brief slowdown, rushed into the air again, and Autumn was unaware of this scene, and her feet slid on the lawn for a long distance before she could control her body in front of her.

And that's exactly what Harry wants to see, otherwise, with his flying skills, he could have reduced the buffer distance of the 'brakes' by half!

Harry was like a bullet half up in half, and his eyes swept across the pitch as Autumn was still controlling the broomstick, and then, he saw the Snitch glittering over the Ravenclaw side.

The world fell silent at this moment, the only sound in his ears was his own heartbeat, and when his fingertips touched the cold metal ball, and Mrs. Hooch's whistle sounded throughout the stadium, Harry finally heard the jubilant sound that shattered the clouds!

For two months since they lost the game due to the Dementors' incursions, the Gryffindor wizards have been haunted by their frustrations, and their depression has not been fully released until this moment.

Many people gathered around Harry to express their excitement to him, and Harry looked around the back of the crowd to find Ron and Hermione, who were desperately squeezing forward, and Hagrid, who was standing there like a wall, and at the same time, he noticed the little black dog on Hagrid's shoulder.

The little black dog behaved strangely, squatting on Hagrid's shoulder, clapping his forepaws like a man, and with tears in his eyes.

It was so strange that Harry rubbed his eyes, almost thinking he was dreaming, but the truth was that the dog was acting like a human, celebrating his victory.
