Chapter 98: Hot-blooded Quidditch (2) (1/2)
The snow stopped, but the rain got bigger and bigger.
There was a icy 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 team they supported.
In an inconspicuous corner of the auditorium, Albert and a few roommates were nesting here to watch the game, with Hagrid drenched beside them. Several people around completely ignored the cold rain, cheering for the Gryffindor team to score.
Albert lowered his monocular vision glasses and drew out his magic wand to use fire and water curse on the lenses to prevent the rain from blurring his vision.
On the Quidditch pitch, the fierce confrontation continued. Slytherin never suffered, they quickly seized the opportunity to fight back.
Under the cover of his teammates, the chaser Monty carried the ghost ball into the scoring area. Not far away, the batsman Locke cleverly seized the opportunity to hit the ball that flew towards him to the goalkeeper Wood of Gryffindor. .
Wood was staring at Monta, trying to prevent the opponent from scoring, but did not notice a wandering ball flying towards him. When he heard the sound of the wandering ball breaking through the air, he dodged in a hurry, and thrilled past Wandering's attack. .
Before Wood had completely recovered from the panic, Monta had already seized the opportunity to break Danny's blockade, clutching the ghost ball and moving towards Wood's face.
A wave of ”fouls” sounded in areas except for the Slytherin accident, and the heavy rain in the sky was faintly suppressed by this sound.
In the audience, Albert watched this scene, feeling that his face was hurting, and he was stunned by the ghost ball. It must be uncomfortable.
”Quidditch player is still a high-risk profession!”
”What, what you were talking about, I didn't hear clearly.” Hagrid next to him raised his binoculars and looked straight at the sky when he heard Albert's whisper and asked loudly.
”Nothing.” Before Albert had time to sigh, he listened to Fred exclaiming next to him, ”No, Wood is going to fall down!”
At this moment, most of the people in the auditorium stood up in horror and looked at Wood, who was falling in a spiral. Some screamed in horror, and some closed their eyes for fear of seeing Wood's tragic situation.
Wood, who was smeared with a ghost ball by the montage, was still in a state of vertigo. He instinctively reached out and grabbed the broom, slid down the railing of the scoring ring, and fell on the lawn of the Quidditch court. His injuries were not serious. It's too serious.
Madam Hooch immediately blew the whistle, announcing the suspension of the game, and fell to Wood's side to check the goalkeeper's injury.
Madame Pomfrey walked into the court with a sullen face on her face. She used a spell to heal Wood's cheek injury and poured him a bottle of potion so that the Gryffindor goalkeeper could regroup and continue the game.
However, this violent Quidditch game still annoyed Mrs. Pomfrey. The head nurse said that if someone was injured, he would go to the school hospital and lie down for a few days.
”The Slytherin Seeker Montage attacked the Gryffindor goalkeeper. This kind of despicable behavior is unheard of before. The Slytherin team scored another goal. The score between the two sides is 80-50. , Gryffindor was 30 points ahead... Wait, the referee announced that Slytherin fouled and the goal just scored was invalid. The current score of the two sides is 80 to 40.” The commentator shouted excitedly. ”Gryffindor has opened a forty-point advantage. At present, the seekers on both sides are looking for the Golden Snitch. Who will catch the Golden Snitch first? Which team will win, we will wait and see. ”
Unfortunately, the bad weather and the visibility around it is also very bad. It is not easy to find the Snitch. The game is still going on.
Wood recovered and greatly encouraged the Gryffindor audience. Gryffindor’s cheering voice echoed from the audience.
”Mrs. Hooch blew the whistle again and the game continued. How exactly the Gryffindor team will fight back, let us wait and see.” The Ravenclaw commentator has already been enthusiastic about it, completely forgetting that he is explaining the game. Strange game.
”Kill the Slytherin team, kill the montage; kill the Slytherin team, kill the montage!” At this moment, Gryffindor's audience seat unexpectedly broke out such an unprecedented roar.
This sound gave Albert the inexplicable illusion that he was actually watching a duel, not a Quidditch match.
A few minutes later, the players of Gryffindor really lived up to expectations and launched a new round of revenge against the Slytherin team. The target was the chaser Montage who had just used a ghost ball to attack Wood.
Mark and Irene are a couple, and they have a super tacit understanding. The two only exchanged glances in the air, and Mark directly speeds up and hits the batter Locke. With the help of her boyfriend, Irene, the violent batsman, shoots the wandering ball out, and the target is the montage surrounded by the three acrobatic brothers.
Mengtai was blocked by the three of them, thinking that the three chasers next to him were going to attack him, but did not find that the real lore came from the walking ball behind him.
”Oh, my goodness, I hit it. Violent batsman Irene successfully hit Monta with a wandering ball. This is really painful. I hope he can break a few more ribs...cough cough, I am Said that I hope he is okay!” The commentator coughed lightly and quickly changed his words, ”The referee did not blow his whistle. There is no doubt that there is no violation of the rules in the counterattack this time.”
Although the Slytherin team took the opportunity to score 10 points, their pursuit hand had been injured and fell to the ground, completely outweighing the gain.
”What's the matter, Mrs. Pomfrey didn't show up, could it be...” the commentator said with gloat, ”Don't our head nurses like the Slytherin players?”
Monta was forced off the court because the frustrated Madam Pomfrey had returned to the school hospital, and he was obviously unable to continue the game without treatment.
Albert saw the dark-faced Snape through his monoculars and took out his wand and turned it into a stretcher. Several students sent Monta to the school hospital on the second floor of the castle.
It is said that it took only a few seconds for Mrs. Pomfrey to help Montage connect the broken ribs, but the hapless guy was obviously unable to continue playing.
According to the official rules established by the Department of Magical Sports: In the event of a disability, no other athletes may be substituted.
This means that Slytherin is missing a chaser.
However, the vast majority of Gryffindor spectators regretted it. Why didn't Slytherin's Seeker Marcus Flint end up?
However, this dirty Quidditch game has just kicked off.
Slytherin was at a disadvantage because of one missing player, and they began to blatantly attack Gryffindor's players.
With a series of changes on the field, Albert was stunned. In the single-scope, the four batsmen riding broomsticks flying under the rain curtain actually fought together like swordsmen with their bats.
Fred and George next to them were muttering, ”Hit him, yes, aim at his head... Pierce his eyes...” and other violent words.
The Slytherin players went to surround Charlie together, preparing to send Charlie off the court first. Once Gryffindor loses the seeker, it basically means losing the game.
