The previous crushing defeat at Slytherin had left the Gryffindor students in a slump for a while, and for a long time, they hadn't discussed anything Quidditch-related.

But Harry's fire bolts undoubtedly made them regain their confidence and become fanatical again.

And this frenzy has grown over time.

Especially on Friday, in just one morning, Gryffindor's scoring hourglass dropped a lot, directly from the original second position, back to the bottom one.

They were so excited that they couldn't resist discussing Quidditch while they were still in class, and then they were deducted points by the professors, who couldn't bear it.

Snape contributed the most, and half of those points deducted were due to him.

When the Gryffindors came to their senses, they found that their house had been deducted by nearly two hundred points...... This result also made them converge a lot.

The next morning, Kyle goes to the auditorium for breakfast with Cedric and Connor.

Today is match day, and from the moment you walk into the auditorium, many eyes have fallen on him and Cedric.

As the first team to face the Firebolts, they received no less attention than Harry.

Especially Ravenclaw, where most of the people at the table were watching.

"Davis thought it would be a good opportunity to see how good the firebolts really are."

Autumn Cat sat down next to Connor and whispered, "Besides, he can't think of any way to deal with the fire crossbow arrows, so he wants to see what you can do."

Are you really okay? If we let Gryffindor win too many points, we have no chance of winning at all. ”

"Don't worry, leave it to us." Cedric patted his chest and said, "We've been training for a long time, and I've got to show Wood that he's happy too soon." ”

At 10:30, Hufflepuff set off for the locker room.

Today's weather is nice, sunny, cool, and the breeze is very comfortable on your body.

Truth be told, this isn't good news for Hufflepuff, as they have all the gadgets Kyle provides, which gives them an advantage in relatively bad weather.

Unfortunately, that's not something they can decide.

Outside, there was the sound of the whole school crowding into the stadium, and the noisy talking, you didn't need to look to know that there must be a lot of people coming.

"Don't be nervous." As everyone was ready to leave the dressing room, Cedric said: "We've trained a lot of times, so it's definitely fine!" ”

They walked out onto the pitch and the cheers were deafening.

But when the Gryffindor team in red jerseys walked out, the cheers around them became noticeably louder.

The two sides came to the center of the court.

"Diggory, Wood, shake hands!" Ms. Hodge said crisply, and Cedric stepped forward and shook Wood's hand.

"Get on a broomstick and listen to my whistle, three...... Two...... One ......"

Kyle felt a whistling sound come from him.

The firebolt was faster than any other broomstick, and in the blink of an eye, Cedric followed, and the two circled over the court, squinting in search of the Golden Snitch.

There were also voices of commentary from the stands.

"The game has begun, and the biggest attraction of this game is the fire ballista arrow ridden by Harry Potter, which is the first choice of the national team in this year's World Cup......

"Jordan, can you tell us a little bit about the game?" Professor McGonagall's voice interjected.

"No problem, Professor, a little bit of background information, by the way, the Firebolt has a built-in braking device for faster acceleration ......"

"Jordan!"

"Okay, okay, it's Hufflepuff in possession now, it's familiar...... Harris probably taught Kyle his ball-grabbing skills...... He's ready to pitch...... Can Wood ......?"

"Oh...... Wood misses the ball, Hufflepuff scores! ”

Harry flicked his arm in the air frustratedly, looking more closely for the Golden Snitch, but when he turned around, he saw Cedric following him closely.

Whenever he tries to change direction, the opponent will overtake him and force him to change direction.

Harry had a feeling as if Cedric didn't care about the Golden Snitch and just wanted to interfere with him.

"Show him your speed-up, Harry!" Fred shouted as he aimed a Bludger at Kyle.

Kyle had just snatched the Quaffle away from Angelina with a nimble turn, and was speeding towards the Gryffindor goalpost.

In the face of Fred's Bludger, he had no intention of dodging at all.

In the next second, Mikel flew from the side, raised his arm and hit the Bludger away.

"Just rush forward!" Will flew in from the other side and blocked the second Bludger.

“…… We'll take care of the rest! ”

With their help, Kyle made his way to the goal post and threw the ball up...... Instead of throwing it into the goal, it was thrown to Grace on the right.

"Diagonal passing...... Kyle's most used feints! ”

Jordan exclaimed, "But it's useful...... Wood's attention was on Kyle, and Grace scored...... She is a chaser for the new Hufflepuff team this year...... What a charming girl! ”

Wood stared at Kyle, gasping for air, looking like an angry bison.

Kyle shrugged his shoulders and slapped Grace before returning to the middle of the court.

Less than five minutes into the game, 20-0, Gryffindor fell straight into a disadvantage.

In the stands, Hufflepuff's cheers almost drowned out Lee Jordan's commentary.

"Fred, George, what are you doing!" Wood roared, "Hurry up and knock him off the broom!" ”

"We ...... Always doing it! Fred struggled to hit the Bludger at Kyle as he shouted, "But two of their batsmen seem to have made their home next to Kyle...... Damn, it's blocked again! ”

At this time, it is not only Kyle who has been called home by his side on the court, but Harry is also the same.

Harry felt that Cedric was about to stick to him, and he couldn't shake it off, because he couldn't keep speeding up, and he had to stop and look for the Golden Snitch.

Whenever this happens, Cedric will always catch up from behind and continue to interfere with him.

Once he saw it, that golden light flapped its little wings and flew behind Angelina Johnson's ears...... But just as he was about to speed up, he was blocked by Cedric.

Although he decisively made a detour in the other direction, in the crucial seconds, the snitch disappeared.

"Harry, now is not the time to be friendly."

Wood, who also saw the Golden Snitch, shouted, "Knock him off the broom if you need to!" ”
