Chapter 630 The Real Gryffindor
Harry's back was trembling!
Although his figure looked a bit blurred due to climbing against the light, so that Maca was the only one who realized that something was wrong at the first moment, but Harry's trembling was real.
And at this moment, only Harry himself vaguely understood: he didn't want to climb up by himself, but because of the sudden tingling pain on his forehead, his hands involuntarily clenched the handle of the Firebolt, raising it unconsciously. up.
"What... what's going on? Why does the scar hurt again?"
At the moment he thought of this, a picture suddenly flashed in his mind. It was still the faint darkness of the previous dream, and it was still the blood-colored haze that seemed to be facing the sun with his eyes closed, as if... as if he was doing that himself.
Yes, this familiar vision, this pain that seems to come from the depths of the soul, and this sense of emptiness and waiting—where am I? How should I get out of here?
An unspeakable sense of discomfort lingered all over Harry's body, as if it was about to completely submerge him and then drag him into a bottomless abyss.
"...What should I do? What should I do, what must I do..." Harry tried to run his thoughts that had gradually become stagnant, thinking with difficulty, "...Ginny...Hermione... ...Ron ... Maca ..."
"Yes, Maca!" He suddenly seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and focused all his attention on the name, "...he said, for... thinking... walls, isolation... Occlumency!"
At the moment when he performed the Occlumency Technique, he suddenly felt his body sink inexplicably. This sense of reality made him seem to have regained control over his body, and he suddenly remembered where he was.
So, he stretched his eyelids open, and then saw the particularly dazzling sun in the sky.
"Just now...was that a dream or reality?"
Because the scene I saw in the dream before was too similar to the feeling when I closed my eyes and faced the sun. The hazy light passing through the eyelids is hard to forget once I have seen it.
For a moment, Harry felt that he was even a little unclear...
Harry, who was in a daze, didn't immediately see his current situation clearly, but in fact, he was still climbing. Due to his high speed, Qiu Zao could no longer keep up with him, and he was at a rather high position right now.
But the next second,
While in a trance, out of the corner of Harry's eye, he caught a glimpse of a flash of golden lightning. His talent as a Seeker inherited from his father moved him almost reflexively.
He suddenly pulled the broom handle, and rushed in that direction like a gust of wind. He used the acceleration of the Firebolt to the extreme, and he rushed far away in the blink of an eye.
That was without a doubt the Golden Snitch! Now that he has seen it, how can there be any reason to turn a blind eye?
Qiu, who was following a certain distance, saw Harry suddenly turn around, and following the basic tactic of a seeker chasing his opponent for no reason, she naturally chose to follow him immediately.
But it wasn't until now that she realized that from the beginning of the competition until now, Harry had been pressing down on her speed to fight against her. Now that Harry seemed to have discovered where the Snitch was, he didn't have to hide anymore. Therefore, this time, Qiu really saw how exaggerated the Firebolt's claim to be the world's fastest speed is.
At high altitude, Harry had already increased his flying speed by nearly 90%. It's not that he deliberately gave way to the girl, but because when chasing the golden snitch, he must leave a certain amount of leeway for turning.
The golden snitch doesn't just fly in a straight line!
Although he felt a little out of strength during that illusory trance, but now he is at the competition site, and this is the final of this season. Since he is still doing well now, he must continue to fulfill his responsibilities, otherwise he will feel sorry for those teammates who are busy training every day, and captain Angelina who is about to graduate.
As for the inexplicable accident just now, let's discuss it with Hermione and the others after the game is over!
"Or...do you want to say it?"
At the moment when he couldn't help but take a short errand, the golden lightning suddenly made a zigzag line in front of him, and accelerated downward vertically.
He quickly shook his head, reminding himself not to think about it. So, he pulled the broom handle back obliquely again, drew a graceful arc in the air, and then swooped down.
This time, Qiu, who was following obliquely below, caught a glimpse of the golden line falling straight down, and immediately pressed down on the broom without hesitation, and chased after Harry who passed right in front of her.
The current score on the court is 60 to 10, no need to ask, of course Gryffindor is leading.
Since these flying lion cubs showed their true strength, the chasers have made nine shots and successfully scored six goals; while the eaglets on the opposite side have gradually stepped up Downhill, even though they had five attacks, they only actually knocked on the Gryffindor team once.
Davis, who had previously played exceptionally well, was still working hard, but Ginny's goalkeeping as if possessed by Merlin dealt him a heavy blow, and it seemed difficult to get out of the shadows in this game.
And at this moment, Harry and Qiu, who followed the Golden Snitch straight down, rushed back to the competition space in the arena almost at the same time. Their arrival was like a heavy hammer falling from the sky, breaking the offensive and defensive order of the arena.
The Golden Snitch represents a high score of 150 points. Although Quidditch, which determines the final ranking based on the total score system, is not obsessed with the outcome of each game, it should be noted that this is the final score of this year. It's a game!
If Ravenclaw can capture these 150 points, although they still have no hope of touching the championship in terms of total points, it is at least enough for them to rank second.
To be honest, this year's total score has been very stalemate. In fact, the four colleges had the expectation of winning the Quidditch silver cup. And after this expectation, the Badgers and Eagles, who gradually bid farewell to the championship hope as the score increased slightly, can imagine their current mood.
However, just as Harry's fingertips were about to touch the golden snitch, a voice pierced everyone's eardrums.
"stop!"
Uh... did someone ever mention that Ginny's voice is actually really loud?
Harry, who was quite sensitive to Ginny's voice, shrank his arms slightly, and then followed the golden snitch in front of him to turn a corner and climb up again.
"...Ginny, what are you doing?" Angelina, the captain of Gryffindor, couldn't help shouting eagerly when she saw this.
Ginny, who was spinning around in front of the middle door knocker, waved her hand vigorously and pointed to the scoreboard on the sidelines.
"Angelina! Attack!" Ginny yelled, "Not enough points!"
The last game was Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin, and the loss of the Badgers brought about 200 new scoring points for Snake House. Yes, at the last moment, it was the Slytherin players who caught the Snitch and ended the game with 50+150 points.
But now, if Gryffindor wants to surpass Slytherin's total score, they must leave the arena with 220 points, otherwise what awaits them will be a tie in the total score and a very terrible extra match!
.. In the semester when the exam is just around the corner, if there is a Quidditch Cup play-off, which is quite rare in the history of Hogwarts, before the exam... But the main force of the college team is still concentrated on the fifth, sixth, and seventh three A grade, isn't this fatal?
Ginny's voice was quite loud. This time, not only the Gryffindor players heard it, but several people from Ravenclaw's side looked at the scoreboard on the sidelines together.
Angelina, who finally realized that her calculation was wrong, was taken aback for a moment, and then she clenched the Quaffle tightly in her hand, and headed straight towards Ravenclaw's head like a hair... um, a crazy lioness. Halftime rushed over. As for the delaying tactic with the ball just now, she had already left it out of the blue.
The eaglets on the opposite side saw her fleeing desperately, and immediately cheered up, performing their duties and setting up an unreliable defensive formation.
It is clear to everyone that this game is not over yet!
In this attack, the final battle was actually the speed of reaction - when Ginny's shout was spread, Harry was the first to react, and Angelina was the second.
But offense takes time, and when Angelina flew across the halfway line, the Ravenclaw players had relatively enough time to prepare. In comparison, Bell and Spinnet, who reacted slightly slower, failed to keep up with the captain in time.
Soon, Angelina, holding the Quaffle and breaking through forcibly, was surrounded by the eaglets. When the batter hit her with the Bludger, Angelina, who couldn't dodge, lost the ball after all... …
It was Captain Davis who won the Quaffle. He rushed out immediately after getting the ball, followed by the other two chasers. At this time, the little lions were a little confused due to the sudden change, so that the formation after the offensive and defensive transition had not been fully set up, and they obviously had a chance!
Davies, however, who crossed the halfway line into the Gryffindor half, hesitated in bewilderment. His speed slowed down a little, and his eyes quickly moved around the scoreboard on the sidelines.
"Such a good opportunity, what is he thinking?"
All of a sudden, almost all the audience were thinking this way, but Ginny, who had a delicate mind, suddenly frowned.
"If I were you, I would fight with all my strength! This is the greatest respect for my opponent!"
At this moment, the long red hair behind Ginny fluttered in the wind, like a real Gryffindor lion.
