The snow stopped, but the rain became heavier and heavier.
There was a biting chill in the air, but it still failed to extinguish the enthusiasm for Quidditch in the hearts of the audience. People were cheering for the teams they supported.
In an inconspicuous corner of the auditorium, Albert and several roommates were watching the game. Next to them sat a soaked Hagrid. The people around him completely ignored the cold rain and were watching the game.
Cheers for Gryffindor's goal.
Albert lowered his binoculars, took out his wand and used the Water and Fire Invulnerability Charm on the lenses to prevent rain from blurring his vision.
On the Quidditch pitch, the fierce battle continued. Slytherin never suffered a loss, and they quickly seized the opportunity to counterattack.
Chaser Montague, under the cover of his teammates, carried the ghost ball into the scoring area. The batter Locke, not far away, cleverly seized the opportunity and hit the Bludger flying towards him towards Gryffindor goalkeeper Wood.
.
Wood was staring at Montague, trying to prevent the opponent from scoring, but did not notice a Bludger flying towards him. When he heard the sound of the Bludger breaking through the air, he hurriedly dodged, and narrowly avoided the Bludger's attack.
.
Before Wood could fully recover from the panic, Montague had already seized the opportunity, broke through Danny's blockade, grabbed the ghost ball and threw it towards Wood's face.
A wave of "foul" sounded in all areas except Slytherin, and the heavy rain in the sky was faintly suppressed by this wave of sound.
In the audience, Albert looked at this scene and felt that his face was hurting. It must be uncomfortable to be hit in the face by a ghost ball.
"Quidditch players are still a high-risk profession!"
"What, what were you talking about just now? I didn't hear clearly." Hagrid, who was next to him, held up his binoculars and looked straight at the sky and asked loudly when he heard Albert's whisper.
"It's nothing." Before Albert could sigh, he heard Fred next to him exclaim, "No, Wood is going to fall!"
At this moment, most of the people in the audience stood up in horror, looking at Wood who was spiraling down. Some screamed in fear, and some closed their eyes for fear of seeing Wood's tragic situation.
Wood, who had been hit in the face by Montague with a ghost ball, was still in a state of dizziness. He instinctively reached out to grab the broom, slid down the railing of the scoring ring, and fell on the lawn of the Quidditch pitch. His injuries were not serious.
It's too serious.
Mrs. Hooch immediately blew the whistle to announce a timeout and dropped to Wood's side to check on the goalkeeper's injury.
With an annoyed look on her face, Madam Pomfrey walked into the court with a sullen face. She used a spell to heal the injury on Wood's cheek and gave him a potion so that the Gryffindor goalkeeper could cheer up and continue the game.
However, this violent Quidditch match still annoyed Madam Pomfrey. The head nurse said that if anyone is injured, just go to the school hospital and lie down for a few days.
"Slytherin team's seeker Montague attacked the Gryffindor goalkeeper. This despicable behavior is simply unheard of. Slytherin team scored another goal. The current score between the two sides is 80 to 50.
, Gryffindor leads by thirty points... Wait, the referee announced that Slytherin committed a foul and the goal just scored is invalid. The current score between the two sides is 80 to 40." The commentator shouted excitedly at the top of his voice.
: "Gryffindor has opened up a 40-point advantage. Seekers from both sides are currently looking for traces of the Golden Snitch. Who will catch the Golden Snitch first? Which team will win, we will wait and see.
"
Unfortunately, due to the bad weather and poor surrounding visibility, it was not easy to find the Golden Snitch, and the game continued.
Wood recovered and greatly encouraged the Gryffindor audience. The sound of cheering for Gryffindor echoed in the auditorium.
"Mrs. Hooch blows the whistle again and the game continues. Let's wait and see how Gryffindor will fight back." The Ravenclaw commentator was so excited that he completely forgot that he was commentating on a game.
Dizzy game.
"Kill the Slytherin team, kill Montague; kill the Slytherin team, kill Montague!" At this moment, the Gryffindor audience suddenly burst into such an unprecedented roar.
This sound gave Albert an inexplicable illusion that he was actually watching a duel, not a Quidditch match.
A few minutes later, the Gryffindor players lived up to their expectations and launched a new round of revenge against the Slytherin team. The target was the chaser Montague who had just used the ghost ball to attack Wood.
Mark and Erin are lovers, and they have a strong tacit understanding. The two only exchanged a look in mid-air, and Mark directly hit the batter Locke. With the help of her boyfriend, the violent batter Erin knocked the Bludger away.
The target is Meng Tai, who is surrounded by the three acrobatic brothers.
Meng Tai was blocked by three people. He thought that the three chasers next to him were planning to attack him, but he never realized that the real killer came from the Bludger behind him.
"Oh, my god, it hit. The Bludger hit by the violent hitter Erin successfully hit Montague. This hit was really painful. I hope he can break a few more ribs... Ahem, I am
"I hope he's okay!" The commentator coughed slightly and quickly changed his words, "The referee didn't blow the whistle. There is no doubt that there was no violation in this counterattack."
Although the Slytherin team took the opportunity to score ten points, their pursuit hand had been injured and fell to the ground, and the gain was completely outweighed by the loss.
"What's going on? Madam Pomfrey didn't show up. Could it be that..." the commentator's tone was filled with schadenfreude, "doesn't our head nurse also like the players from the Slytherin team?"
Montague was forced to leave the game because the furious Madam Pomfrey had returned to the school hospital. Without treatment, he was obviously unable to continue the game.
Through the telescope, Albert saw the dark-faced Snape taking out his wand and conjuring a stretcher, and asked several students to take Montague to the school hospital on the second floor of the castle.
It is said that it only took Madam Pomfrey a few seconds to help Montague's broken ribs, but the unfortunate guy was obviously unable to continue playing.
According to the official rules set by the Department of Magical Sports and Sports: In the event of disability, no other athlete may take the field to replace the player.
This means that Slytherin has one less Chaser.
However, most of the Gryffindor audience was regretting why it wasn't Slytherin's Seeker Marcus Flint who ended up?
However, this dirty Quidditch match has just begun.
Slytherin was at a disadvantage because they were missing one player, and they began to blatantly attack Gryffindor players.
Albert was stunned by the series of changes on the field. Through the monocular, the four batsmen flying on broomsticks under the rain curtain were actually fighting together with the bats in their hands like swordsmen.
Fred and George next to them were muttering violent words such as "Hit him, yes, aim at his head...stab his eyes...".
The Slytherin players gathered together to surround Charlie and prepare to send him off the field first. Once Gryffindor loses its seeker, it basically means losing the game.
Finally, a group of people riding broomsticks meleeed together in the sky. The most lethal ones were the batsmen on both sides. They were attacking the opponent's players with their bats. Erin even knocked off Locke's bat. This unlucky guy
He was hit on the elbow by Eileen with a stick. Before he could recover, he was kicked by Jack again and almost fell off the broom.
However, there were several Gryffindors who also suffered minor injuries.
Furious, Mrs. Hooch ruled out the four batters, even though this was not within the rules. Who had just hit the hardest among the four?
In Mrs. Hooch's words, staying on the court was a disgrace to Hogwarts.
The original venue for fifteen people suddenly lost five people, and the huge stadium suddenly felt much empty.
Even without a batsman, Gryffindor's chasers still had a way to do it. They seemed to be performing a relay ceremony, taking the bat from the batsman who left the field. At least, that's what Danny did.
, this acrobatic player can act as a pursuer and a batsman at the same time.
This time, their target was Slytherin's Seeker Marcus Flint.
Charlie, Jack and Mario compressed Marcus's flying space from three directions, squeezing the seeker to the edge of the court. Then, they all used Mark's fake moves, waving their fists and feet towards him unceremoniously.
Say hello to the other person.
As for hitting the target?
Sorry, that was a tactical error.
Free throws, no one cares.
As long as the opponent's seeker can be killed, the victory of the game will naturally belong to Gryffindor.
"Charlie, didn't you say it's forbidden to use Mark's fake moves?" Jack teased his captain while waving his elbow at Marcus, and "accidentally" hit the opponent's kidney with his elbow, and his own nose was also hit.
He was knocked crooked by a fist swung from the right.
From behind, Danny, who was holding a ghost ball in one hand and a bat in the other, was already catching up. He was "chased" by two Slytherin suitors.
Danny threw the troublesome ghost ball to Jack, and he took the bat and waved towards Marcus' back, preparing to completely drive him off the stage.
However, Danny didn't know that Jack, who had just caught the ghost ball, was the first to be unlucky. One of the two Slytherin pursuers hit him directly, and the other kicked him. Jack had not yet reacted.
When he came over, he was kicked off the broom. Fortunately, he still grabbed the flying broom with one hand, and he was completely hit by the audience. He was badly hit.
Fortunately, he didn't fall into the Slytherin auditorium, otherwise he would probably have faced a large-scale brawl, and a group of spectators joined in to beat Jack.
"Danny, you actually tricked me!" Jack covered his injured waist and couldn't help but yell.
On the other side, Slytherin's Seeker situation was also a little bad. Marcus, who was blocked by three people, was beaten violently by three people.
A sharp whistle cut through the rain, and a furious Mrs. Huo Qi called the players from both sides over and gave them a severe scolding.
"Have you forgotten what I said at the beginning?" Mrs. Huo Qi spat directly, spitting in everyone's face, "Since you can't be fair and participate in the competition honestly, then get off the stage.
Stay, I'll give you one hour to let your respective alternates take your place in this game."
"What's going on?" Albert watched the players on both sides being severely scolded by Mrs. Huo Qi, and couldn't help frowning, because the game did not continue. Both teams returned to their respective lounges, and the commentator said
Bian also didn't know what happened.
However, everyone soon got the latest information.
"We have just received the latest news. Due to the various bad behaviors of the two teams in the game, which seriously violated various rules of Quidditch, all players were dismissed." The commentator read the information he had just received in surprise, "
Gosh, to be honest, this is the first time I've heard of a situation where all teams have been ejected. Both sides will have an hour to select a new group of players and continue the game in their place."
"Let's go to the locker room." Fred, who was all wet, pulled George and Albert towards the locker room, his face full of excitement, "It's our turn to play!"
Before leaving, Albert glanced at Slytherin's Seeker. The unfortunate guy was helped into the locker room, and Snape's face was extremely gloomy following them.
"What the hell are you doing?"
As soon as Albert and others entered the locker room, they heard Professor McGonagall shouting. The dean glanced at the players present angrily.
"I'm sorry, Professor, but as you can see, it was the Slytherin team who started the attack. They don't seem to intend to play a fair and honest game with us." Charlie, as the Quidditch captain, immediately stood up and took the scolding for everyone. He was very tough.
He withstood the angry gaze of Professor McGonagall: "So, I have to take other methods to ensure the safety of our team members. Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. The victory of this game will definitely belong to us."
Professor McGonagall was also stunned, and then heard Charlie say: "Look, our alternate players are already here."
"It seems that you are planning to let some of us play?" Fred winked at Charlie and said, "That stick just now was really great. I saw Marcus being helped away.
.”
Professor McGonagall immediately stared at Fred, who immediately shut up.
"Kyle, you temporarily act as a goalkeeper and take over Wood's position. You are the only one here who has experience as a goalkeeper." Charlie said to the boy with freckles on his face. He is the substitute chaser of this team, but now
There is no better solution to the situation.
"You two take over as the batter, and Albert is the seeker. Where's Angelina? Isn't that girl here?" Charlie didn't see Angelina, so he said to Danny, "Go get that girl."
,besides……"
Gryffindor can quickly put together a complete substitute team. Although it is far inferior to the regular players, everyone has experience playing together, and I believe it will not be worse than the patchwork players in Slytherin.
"Come on Albert, you are our secret ace, don't let me down." Charlie reached out and patted Albert on the shoulder and said, "Whether we can win the game depends entirely on you, we must catch Jin
Snitch."
Albert's lips twitched. He knew that Charlie's statement that he was a secret ace was just an encouragement, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
However, Professor McGonagall frowned slightly and looked at the freshmen taking over the players, a little confused about Charlie's arrangement.
"They are alternate players. They were originally supposed to participate in the selection of the regular players next year and take over the positions of the regular players who left. Don't worry, they have also been well trained." Charlie seemed to have guessed what Professor McGonagall wanted to say, and quickly explained.
road.
"Okay, now that you've decided!" Professor McGonagall looked at the remaining people and said, "I don't expect you to perform well, but at least don't cause any trouble for me."
