Chapter 237: Race Results!
The status of the firebolt is the equivalent of a Muggle supercar.
And it's not like Muggles are only men who love sports cars, but wizards and wizards are fascinated by it.
The high price of hundreds of gold gallons can dissuade 99% of wizarding families, and it is already in the ranks of luxury.
Even this summer, Malfoy stubbornly tried to get Malfoy Sr. to buy him a firebow bolt, but Malfoy Sr. refused.
At that time, the elder Malfoy said, "Son, our Malfoy family doesn't have much food left." ”
Therefore, hearing Jordan's words, all the teachers and students in the audience stood up, staring wide-eyed, wanting to see what the fire crossbow arrow in Zhang Qiu's hand looked like.
What is the status of the fire crossbow in the hearts of young people?
Let's put it this way.
If the bolt was in the hands of a boy, he said, "Who wants to see the bolt up close? can touch it, and even let you ride it and walk around the sky, but only if you want to be my girlfriend." ”
At Hogwarts, a quarter of the girls will readily agree, and one in two the boys won't mind women's clothing.
It is this degree of status.
Flint and the others stared dumbfounded, at the flying broom in Zhang Qiu's hand that glowed in the rain.
The rain was too heavy, otherwise they would have discovered the existence of the fire bolts in the first place.
Malfoy clenched the flying broomstick in his hand, and suddenly felt that the Halo 2001 in his hand was not so fragrant.
Commentator: Lee Jordan and the George Fred brothers are good friends, so naturally, his attitude towards Slytherin is not much better.
Every time he plays a game commentary, milk Slytherin, has always been his old tradition.
Before the game started, Jordan had already started.
"We all know that Malfoy, the Slytherin Seeker, and his father, the evil capitalist, sponsored Slytherin with seven Halos 2001, but unfortunately their opponent Gryffindor today has better firebolts than they do. Guys, Slytherin doesn't look good. ”
Ms. Hodge stood between the two teams.
"Flint, Davis, shake hands. Ms. Hodge said.
Davis is the Quidditch captain at Ravenclaw House.
Both of them were tall and strong, their broad hands clenched together, their finger bones creaking, and their eyes meeting each other, and sparks were generated.
"Alright, let it go. "Get on your broom and listen to me," said Ms. Hooch...... Three...... Two...... One. ”
"Toot!"
Fourteen men began to rush into the sky, each with its own duties, goalkeeper, chaser, batsman, seeker.
Zhang Qiu lightly tapped the ground and immediately flew into the air.
Her firebolts flew faster and more steadily than any other broomstick.
Jordan held the microphone, his voice spread throughout the court, and commented: "The game has begun, I believe everyone is like me, they are watching the biggest highlight of this game - Zhang Qiu rode her fire crossbow arrow to represent Ravenclaw, "Flying Broomstick" introduced, fire crossbow arrow is currently the best broom, it represents the highest level of craftsmanship at present, I heard that next year's Quidditch World Cup, fire ballista arrow is the first choice of the British Quidditch team's broom......"
Professor McGonagall, who was beside him, said, "Jordan, can you tell us a little bit about the game?"
"Okay professor, but I have to say that the fire bolt can reach a speed of one hundred and fifty miles per hour in a few seconds, and any flying broom will never want to catch up with it, and it is difficult for a wizard who has not practiced to control it directly, but one of the biggest advantages of the fire bolt is not its starting speed, but its braking device, a fully automatic device built into the handle, when the wizard's idea is just generated, the fire bolt is about to stop, and can turn back in another direction at the fastest speed, which is a treasure that any Quidditch athlete dreams of......”
"Jordan!" Professor McGonagall shouted sharply.
"Ahem, okay...... Now that the ball is in Slytherin's hands, they're ready to shoot the ball......"
Against fire crossbow arrows, Zhang Qiu has already mastered it.
Riding it is like stepping on a light cloud, and it moves with the heart of driving. It obeyed Zhang Qiu's thoughts, not been forced by Zhang Qiu's tough orders.
The people in the stands couldn't see Zhang Qiu's appearance clearly.
Because Zhang Qiufei swept over the court, the speed was so fast, leaving only a blue afterimage.
In Zhang Qiu's eyes, except for her, the world is surrounded by chaos and blur, grass, and stands, which are green and gray.
Zhang Qiu shuttled around the court, turned around, and turned around.
She dodged Bludgers with ease, chasing the Golden Snitch through the crowd.
The two Slytherin batsmen wanted to hit the Bludger to Zhang Qiu's side, but Zhang Qiu was too fast, and they couldn't smash the ball near Zhang Qiu in time. Finally, the Bludger approached Zhang Qiu, and Zhang Qiu disappeared again with a "whoosh", leaving only the Bludger in the air, which spun around a few times, and then began to chase others again.
Zhang Qiu hovered in the air as she lost the trace of the Golden Snitch.
Suddenly, she saw the Golden Snitch appear around Monta, the Slytherin chaser, and Zhang Qiu immediately began to speed up and rushed towards Monta.
Monta was taken aback, thinking that Zhang Qiu was annoyed that he had been trying to hit her with a Bludger.
But when Zhang Qiu came to him, he stopped suddenly, circled, bypassed Monta, and reached out to catch the Golden Snitch.
It's a pity that it's only a little bit away from getting the Golden Snitch in hand.
"See? this is the Firebolt, unmatched in balance and precision. Jordan shouted excitedly.
Professor McGonagall: "......"
At the Ravenclaw seats, the students sighed regretfully.
"Malfoy, don't go looking for the Golden Snitch yourself, just keep an eye on Zhang Qiu!" Flint shouted, then narrowly dodged a Bludger that was about to hit him.
Malfoy wanted to cry: I wanted to, but I couldn't catch up with her. Trying to get me the Golden Snitch unless the Snitch runs into my hands on its own.
Merlin once said: "Magic in the world is indestructible, only fast and unbreakable." ”
Harry agreed.
Astoria shouted from the stands: "Sister Zhang Qiu, come on." ”
She didn't understand Quidditch, but she just had to shout 666 from below.
......
It was very intense on the pitch.
Bludger, ghost flying balls all over the sky.
One of the Ravenclaw players was nearly knocked off a flying broomstick by the ball.
"Slytherin is currently thirty points higher than Ravenclaw, and the Ravenclaw side is still using the comet series that is going to be eliminated, but it is not enough for Slytherin. Although the Slytherin Seeker has been working hard to follow the Ravenclaw Seeker, he can only follow behind, and if he sees the Golden Snitch, I'm afraid Zhang Qiu will grab the Snitch in an instant and end the game. ”
"It's worthy of a fire bolt, have you seen its performance?" When Zhang Qiu stopped and turned, Malfoy couldn't stop, and he had to rush forward for a long distance. ”
"George, how much did the Firebolt pay you for advertising, you give me a good explanation of the game!" Professor McGonagall shouted.
The rain was heavy.
The players in the sky only heard the chaotic voices of the audience below, and it was not clear what they were discussing.
The only thing that could be heard in the stadium was Jordan's commentary and Professor McGonagall's loud rant.
From above, you can only see dense crowds of people in the stands wearing cloaks and squeezing under umbrellas.
Except for Zhang Qiu, everyone's faces were covered with rain, and their eyes couldn't be opened.
If they want to communicate, then they can drink a big mouthful of rainwater.
But the bigger impact is the wind.
On several occasions, Slytherin and Ravenclaw had their shots on goal, but the wind had deflected off the ring on the high pole in the air.
The sky was dark, and it was not yet noon.
The people on the pitch were all chickens, the rain was pouring down, and they and other players were staggered and passed, and they couldn't even tell whether it was the enemy or their teammates.
Anyway, their batsmen will smash the Bludgers at the suspected opposing player, and the chaser will shoot the Quaffle into the opposite goal, and it will be their teammates who will cooperate with them.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
A dozen people turned into a dozen gray lines in the rain, shuttling in and out of the storm.
"Boom, click!"
A zigzag bolt of lightning pierced the thick clouds.
Illuminated to all.
Zhang Qiu finally saw a small golden dot shining in the rain again, near the Slytherin post......
Zhang Qiu nervously held the broom handle and rushed straight towards the snitch.
"Hey, Malfoy, go find the Golden Snitch. ”
I don't know which talent actually sees Zhang Qiu as their Slytherin Seeker.
And Malfoy had lost track of Zhang Qiu in the torrential rain.
"Does Malfoy have such speed?" The Slytherin player who had just seen Zhang Qiu reacted violently, tearing out his throat and shouting, "Malfoy! Hurry up, they're going to catch the Snitch!"
Malfoy, who was on the periphery of the pitch, heard the sound and rushed in the direction where it came from.
In this weather, the spectators can barely see what the game is like, and it is all up to the commentary to tell them about the exciting battles.
I only heard Jordan say excitedly: "The Ravenclaw Seeker has found the Golden Snitch again, she is approaching the Snitch, is this game about to end?"
Suddenly, Jordan let out an angry shout, "Oh my God, Slytherin bunch of vile, shameless ......"
Professor McGonagall shouted in the rain, "Jordan, you have to stand in a neutral place as the commentator!
The students laughed.
Jordan continued to shout, "You can't think of what those shameless scoundrels in Slytherin have done. ”
Professor McGonagall's nose was crooked, and she wanted to kick Jordan away.
However, Jordan said as he jumped out of Professor McGonagall's reach: "Slytherin's goalkeeper, Flint actually jumped on Zhang Qiu's flying broom, grabbed the tail branch, and made the fire crossbow arrow unstable, otherwise Zhang Qiu would definitely be able to catch the Golden Snitch!"
"I was a three-year-old commentator, a six-year-old teenager, and a twenty-year-old confident that Quidditch was a rare opponent in the world of Quidditch commentary. I've known over 700 Quidditch fouls, but I've never seen anything like this happen!"
"Shhhh......h
Three-quarters booed Slytherin.
Ravenclaw was the loudest, and in the front row of the seats, there was a chubby woman in a straw hat, she was Professor Sprout, the dean of Ravenclaw College.
She threw her fist at Flint in anger and dropped her hat.
Flint saw that Zhang Qiu had been disturbed - the golden snitch was nowhere to be seen again, and his face was full of pride.
You know, unscrupulous is one of Slytherin's styles.
It's just that he hasn't been complacent for two seconds.
George's voice rang out in even greater disbelief, and he groaned as if swallowing Hagrid's fist, "Merlin...... The Golden Snitch ^ flew back into Zhang Qiu's hands, and Ravenclaw won!"
Flint turned his head to see that the anger on Zhang Qiu's face had not disappeared, and he looked at the golden snitch in his hand with some blankness.
The snitch meekly lay in Zhang Qiu's palm and no longer fled.
The dimly lit court was silent for a moment.
Then there was a sudden burst of deafening cheers.
Then, a deeper darkness descended.
......
