Chapter 60: Surprises and Victories
"Malfoy, our king!"
"Malfoy, our king!"
"Malfoy, our king!"
"History will always remember today!"
The rabid Quidditch fans were screaming, and Professor McGonagall was on the verge of fainting. This enthusiasm immediately infected many young wizards who were not so fanatical about Quidditch. Even Hermione thought Sellers was handsome!
If there was one thing that made her feel a little regretful, it was that Sellers was now wearing Malfoy's face, and if it were "Mr. Riddle" himself, she would have loved to write him a love letter on the spot!
Compared to the boiling spectators, the players on the field were very quiet.
Graham broke out in a cold sweat and thanked Sellers with both fear and gratitude.
"Thank you, Malfoy......"
"Don't worry, it's time for us to fight back." Cyrus slapped him the shoulder, and both of them rose at the same time. The broom that was a little shorter was a little unbalanced, but it was no problem to finish this match.
Jensen and Duncan flew over apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Graham."
"Don't worry, you didn't break the rules." Sellers said before Graham got angry.
Hearing him say this, Graham was naturally embarrassed to lose his temper, but he thought in his heart that he must give Ravenclaw a little color!
After confirming that it was a false alarm, Mrs. Hodge also breathed a sigh of relief, and she blew the silver whistle:
"The game continues!"
The fourteen men in the arena were moving again, and this time Sellers didn't continue to watch, and he was bored to stay in the sky.
At this moment, he grasped the gap in the broken handle of the broom with both hands, and changed the direction of the broom's flight by a slight amplitude. He is only a Seeker and has no way to score points with Quaffle, but the rules of the Quidditch match do not mention that Seekers cannot compete for Quaffle. It's just that it doesn't happen in other games.
There is not a single Seeker who doesn't look for the Golden Snitch and follows the Quaffle everywhere.
Unless he doesn't want to win.
When Cyrus saw that Randolph had snatched the Quaffle from Adrian, he immediately rushed out and approached him from the left.
Zhang Qiu thought that he had discovered the traces of the Golden Snitch, so he followed without hesitation!
Seekers always have blind spots, and sometimes they can't spot the snitch, so they always have to pay attention to their opponent's every move. Therefore, when she noticed that Sellers was starting to move, she did not hesitate to rush after him. Sellers noticed her immediately.
The real-life Zhang Qiu is much cuter than the Zhang Qiu in the movie, and now Sellers can understand why Harry is fascinated by the other party.
This is indeed a lovely little girl, with delicate skin, a small nose, and big almond eyes like a sparkling black lake in the sun. She has the gentleness and elegance of the Oriental, but her personality is not as weak as it seems.
After noticing Cyrus's actions, she immediately lowered her body and rushed over, intending to hit Cyrus on the shoulder with her shoulder, trying to knock Cyrus away from his original flight trajectory.
But she didn't.
Cyrus, who had activated the Super Sense Charm, felt the movement of the air behind him without even looking at it, and the sound of the opponent breaking through the air as he flew.
Therefore, at the moment when Zhang Qiu collided, Sellers hung upside down directly, his body fell down, he seemed to have become Zhang Qiu's reflection on the mirror of the sky, and the two were close to each other, this way of flying was unheard of!
But Zhang Qiu didn't have time to take care of anything else.
She looked forward urgently, looking for golden shadows, but all she could see was nothingness.
"Where's the Golden Snitch?"
"The Golden Snitch? Who told you the snitch is here? The upside-down Cyrus said strangely.
The Golden Snitch has appeared?
Is your Super Sense Charm out of order?
I didn't even notice that the Golden Snitch had appeared.
"There are no snitches, why are you suddenly speeding up and flying this way?" Zhang Qiu shouted in annoyance. She was nervous for a long time, but she didn't expect it to be just a fake move by the other party.
"And no one says you can't fly around here." Cyrus pursed his lips, he already understood why Zhang Qiu suddenly surrounded him, "I'm just going to interfere with your chaser attack." β
These words made Zhang Qiu very angry.
Cyrus's behavior is naturally not a foul, but if a Seeker on the other side doesn't pay attention to the snitch, doesn't this mean that he looks down on himself and thinks that he can't find the golden snitch?
She lowered her head and glared at Cyrus in annoyance with those bright black eyes.
But in addition to her anger, she couldn't help but admire Cyrus's flying skills.
Even he has to admit that Sellers' performance in this game is very amazing, whether it is the extreme slalom just now, or the current upside-down flight, it is like Malfoy in the last competition!
Of course, it's actually two people.
She wondered how much rigorous training Malfoy had to go through during that time to make such a success.
She couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself for belittling her opponent before she got on the court. Even, she adores each other a little. With Malfoy's current flying ability, it would not be surprising that in time, he would become a world-renowned Quidditch star.
Maybe I should ask him for an autograph after the game?
Zhang Qiu has a lot of thoughts, but the most important thing now is the game itself.
Cyrus's shadow-like flight made her feel very uncomfortable, although the two barely had any contact, but Zhang Qiu had a feeling of being bound, she immediately pulled up the broom handle, and detached herself from the way she flew like a planet and a moon in parallel orbit.
At this time, the score gap between the two teams is getting bigger and bigger!
"The Slytherin team has scored again!" Lee Jordan shouted, "It's 90-20 now, and Slytherin leads by 70 points - 80 points!" Marcus Flint scored another goal!
"I didn't expect Slytherin to play well and not foul, but still have some strength! It seems that Mr. Malfoy's generous broom has really helped them a lot! β
"Leeβ"
McGonagall yelled dissatisfied.
Lee immediately paused his stomp on Slytherin and continued to explain: "It can be seen that Zhang Qiu broke away from Malfoy's upside-down flight, and this way of flying put a lot of pressure on her, which is really exciting, but Malfoy has been upside down without dizziness?" β
"In the end, can Zhang Qiu grab the Golden Snitch before the score between the two sides is pulled away by more than one hundred and fifty points? Now the Golden Snitch hasn't appeared yet - it has appeared! Malfoy found it! They are flying up, and Zhang Qiu is following! β
Lee suddenly hung everyone's hearts in the air.
On the field, the green shadow rushed towards the sky like a rocket, and everyone couldn't help but raise their heads, a bright light and shadow made them dizzy for a moment.
The sunlight is too harsh.
"Is there really a Golden Snitch?" Hermione and Ron looked up and couldn't see anything.
Only Harry narrowed his eyes and saw a dark figure that seemed to tremble in the distance. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he could be sure that it was the Snitch!
"It's amazing, who can find out where the snitch is if they don't see him flying past?" He exclaimed, "He's going to be the greatest Seeker in the world!" β
"He won't." Ginny shook her head, "Mr. Riddle wouldn't make Quidditch his business, Harry. It didn't mean much to him. β
Harry didn't quite understand that.
"Career" - such a word is still too far away for him.
But Harry didn't understand how Quidditch could be meaningless, he thought it was almost the most interesting thing in the world. Moreover, what he is best at is Quidditch, and from Quidditch, Harry can feel the value of his existence.
I can understand the joy of people cheering for themselves.
This is not the same as people calling him "the boy who never died" and thinking that he killed Voldemort.
That kind of praise is something he can't accept with peace of mind.
He had no idea what had happened that night, not to mention that his parents had both been killed that night. It was never a pleasant thing for him.
He was in a trance for a moment, and then he was awakened by an exclamation.
Everyone looked nervous.
"What's wrong?"
Ginny and Hermione were speechless, and Ron nervously gripped Harry's forearm.
"There's a problem with the broom!"
"What?" Harry hurriedly snatched the telescope from Hermione's hand, and through the lens, he saw the broom in Cyrus' hand shaking violently, as if it was about to fall apart, "It must have malfunctioned when saving people just now, to be honest, it's already a miracle that it can fly!" β
"He must stop!" Hermione panicked, her entire face bloodless.
"Stop? You are mistaken! He's still accelerating! Ron was like he had seen a ghost, "He's crazy!" If the broom falls apart at that height, he'll fall to his death! β
Hearing this, Ginny almost fainted.
"We've got to stop the game!" Hermione stood up and hurriedly ran to Dumbledore's side. But there were so many young wizards that everyone stood up and blocked the road. I'm afraid that before she can leave Gryffindor's place, the broom will no longer be able to hold up.
And Sellers naturally knows his situation better than anyone.
The broomstick malfunctioned and it wasn't something that could be easily solved with a repair charm, and even if it could, Cyrus wouldn't be able to cast such a spell beyond Malfoy's level in full view.
But let him give up the game -
The little bit of desire in Sellers' heart to win was not allowed.
No matter what, he is also a dignified traverser, and it is the soul of Lao Fu who takes away. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to lose to a little girl?
And in fact, the broom may not necessarily be unable to hold it, and even if it really can't hold it, there is nothing to be afraid of for him. First of all, it was impossible for Dumbledore to watch the school director's son fall and get injured, and secondly, even if the elder Deng was indifferent, Sellers himself had a way to save his life.
Although the flying spell is not convenient to use, it can reduce the shock and adjust the landing posture, and at most you will break a hand.
Breaking a hand in the wizarding world is no different from breaking a little skin, and besides, it's not him who hurts.
Therefore, although he sensed that the broom could no longer hold on, he was still accelerating.
"Soonerβ"
In Cyrus's pupils, the snitch's shadow became clearer and clearer.
It seems that you can get it if you just reach out.
He reached out and lunged forward, but his fingertips missed the snitch.
The hands are too short.
He had forgotten that the body belonged to Draco Malfoy.
And the broom he was riding was completely out of balance because of this small movement, like a fierce horse shaking violently and wildly! Sellers cast several spells to make himself feel less bumpy. However, as soon as he exerted his right foot, he accidentally kicked the broom's pedal.
Half of the metal foot fell down, and almost hit Zhang Qiu, who was chasing after him.
"You have to slow down, Malfoy!" Zhang Qiu shouted vigorously. The broom that Sellers was riding was scary just to look at. After dropping one pedal, even the broom hair on the tail has begun to loosen.
Sellers turned a deaf ear.
"Malfoy, stop!"
The two of them rushed all the way into a huge cloud, even if it was a broken light wheel 2001, the speed was not comparable to the old antique in Zhang Qiu's hand.
She failed to catch up with Cyrus and lost sight of her in the clouds.
"He's crazy?"
Nearly 1,000 teachers and students looked up at the sky nervously, but there was nothing but the glare of sunlight and heavy clouds.
Then the clouds broke!
A dark shadow fell downβ
Dumbledore saw it clearly - it was "Malfoy".
Malfoy's performance today was beyond his expectations β it was so good!
It's so good that it's abnormal.
Is this still Malfoy?
But Dumbledore didn't suspect that Malfoy was the one who stole the Horcruxes and was controlled by Tom Riddle. Because he knows Tom too well. Without guaranteeing his own safety, Tom would never be too ostentatious.
Andβ
'There's no way Tom Riddle can save people. β
Cyrus's act of rescuing Graham completely cleared his name. The Dark Lord will only take the lives of other people, how can he save people?
Looking at the rapidly falling figure, Dumbledore raised his arm again:
"Shock Stop!"
Sellers felt as if a soft force had been lifted up from his back, and it was as if he had been smashed into the wool mat in layers, falling more and more slowly.
He knew immediately that it was Dumbledore who had made the move.
So he simply didn't care about anything and let himself fall to the ground.
Mrs. Hodge blew the silver whistle and swooped down, and Cyrus immediately pulled out the golden snitch he held in his hand.
He was cheered by a large group of people and carried into the school doctor's room. It was as if they were celebrating that they had finally been hospitalized.
