Chapter 767 The Wind Is Rising

( ) In fact, as the new captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, Harry felt as heavy as Ron at this moment. This was his first game since becoming the captain. Katie Bell still lived in In St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, Dumbledore said that she would have to stay there for at least three months, which meant that the Gryffindor Quidditch team was missing an experienced main chaser and came on as a substitute. It will take time for Dean Thomas to reach Katie's level and develop a tacit understanding with his teammates.

Dean Thomas is a very lazy wizard, and his electives are decided randomly with a wand, but his experienced interpersonal skills are not bad for the team. In the previous fifth grade, he had maintained his friendship with Seamus many times and appeased Harry who was angry because he was not trusted. He also participated in the DA organized by Harry, so at least other players were interested in choosing him. He was very happy to be Katie's substitute.

Ron began to enjoy breakfast normally in front of him, which also made Harry feel a lot more at ease. As a new batsman, although his performance in training was not as good as his goalkeeper position, Ron was doing goalkeeper training, as long as there was not too much The skills displayed when people are watching, without external interference, and without pressure are actually very good, but once someone psychologically interferes with him...

But at present, Ron's mental state before the game is indeed much more relaxed than before. There are two batters on a team, and they play in conjunction with each other. The pressure is lighter than that of the goalkeeper. After all, As a goalkeeper, it is very obvious who is responsible for a missed ball.

"It's almost time." Harry stood up and walked towards the stadium with the Gryffindor players. When passing through the foyer, he happened to bump into the Slytherin team.

Harry thought about the opal necklace and couldn't help but secretly glance at Pansy Parkinson. This sight was caught by the keen Emily, who whispered something to Pansy in front of her.

Harry's accusation against Pansy in the school doctor's office that day was somehow spread, and coupled with the dispute between the two on the Hogwarts Express, these old and new grudges made Pansy immediately look back and frown. He folded his arms in front of his chest, turned up the corner of his mouth, and pointed a finger at Harry: "Be careful, Potter, I'm going to hit your glasses with a bludger in a minute until they need to be pulled out of your ears." come out."

"Then give it a try, Pansy Parkinson, and see who will end up staying on the broom." Ron passed Harry, stood up in front of Harry, and glared at Pansy.

The little lions and the little snakes refused to give in to each other and began to stride towards the playing field. Because of their exertion, the frosty grass made a crunching sound under their feet.

In the crowded stadium, one side of the stands was a sea of ​​red and golden people, and the other side was a sea of ​​green and silver. Amid screams and applause, the two teams flew into the stadium. Referee Ms. Huo Qi stood in the center of the court, holding her own boiling broom and said: "Both captains shake hands."

Harry and Draco just looked at each other coldly, neither of them willing to shake hands.

"Both captains shake hands." Ms. Huo Qi emphasized again. The two shook hands reluctantly, and they used force at the same time, as if they wanted to crush each other's hands. Harry suffered a secret loss, but fortunately Draco was still cautious and did not use all his strength to directly break Harry's bones.

"Peeping Tom Potter, I will teach you a lesson for Pansy." Draco whispered harshly through gritted teeth. Now that he was so far away from the stands, Allen couldn't hear what he said, and the trash talk itself was also a competition. Justifiable means, and besides, this incident itself was initiated by Potter. Decorah thought that this time he could take the opportunity to not worry about Allen's feelings. This is what he convinced himself.

Harry, who was grinning because of the pain, refused to admit defeat. He forced out a few words through his teeth: "Go to the Whomping Willow and eat shit, you stinky stoat... Ouch!"

"Okay, let go and get on the broom." Mrs. Rolanda Hooch shook her head. In the past, we could see the captains of both sides competing for strength when shaking hands, but it was rare to see such a completely one-sided situation.

"Mr. Malfoy, please let go of Mr. Potter!" Mrs. Hooch stretched out her hand and broke their hands apart. Draco snorted at the same time, turned over and mounted his broomstick, because the other party had just increased his strength. Harry, whose legs began to bend and almost knelt on the ground, quickly sat on the broom and put his still trembling hands behind his back to not be outdone.

"Listen to my whistle...three...two...one..."

As soon as the whistle blew, they kicked off the frozen hard ground and rose into the air.

"Now that both teams have taken to the skies, the Quaffle is currently in the hands of Ginny Weasley of Gryffindor. She is the girlfriend of Gryffindor captain Potter and hopes that her ball skills As good as she looks. Her brother Ron Weasley used to play goalkeeper and his performance was hit or miss. Now he has been adjusted to be a batsman and has a close personal relationship with the captain, which undoubtedly helps. Grant With Fendo's Katie Bell injured and currently in St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, Dean Thomas has taken her place as Chaser and hopefully he can help the squad Potter has put together this term..." Zachary Smith stood on the commentary table and pushed the microphone and kept talking. This made Harry, who was flying in the sky, hate him even more than when he disobeyed his instructions during D.A training. These words made the Slytherins The jeers and cheers kept ringing.

"The commentator has lost the ball syndrome." Luna cupped her chin and lightly introduced to Helena beside her.

"What is the ball-drop syndrome?" After Qiu Zhang asked, he turned his head and raised his head, only to realize that the person sitting behind him was the crazy girl.

"The ball-drop syndrome can cause him to obviously perform abnormally in the game and lose the game." Luna lowered her head and explained, "Most of the time in the game last semester, the Quaffle would not stay in Zacharias' hands for more than a minute. .”

Qiu Zhang actually regretted why she asked the question before her close friend Marietta Acmo secretly pulled her sleeve. Seeing that she didn't respond, Luna lowered her head and leaned towards Qiu Zhang. : "If you want to be a professional player, you have to be careful. This disease is very contagious."

Above their heads, Emily and Harry, as seekers, were circling around the court, looking for the Golden Snitch, while being wary of the other team's batters and the Bludgers they hit.

On the other side, Slytherin's Urquhart quickly flew across the field, knocked down Gryffindor's chaser, caught the Quaffle, and hit it towards the goal. However, Cormac McLagan knocked the ball out of the door. Cormac waved his arm fiercely towards the stands, and regrettable sighs sounded in the Slytherin stands.

"Gryffindor's goalkeeper this year is not as bad as last year. Last year's Ron Weasley could almost ignore him when he was on the court." Zachary Smith's commentary made Gryffindor who had just cheered Cursing, although they wanted to refute Zacharias' sarcastic remarks about Gryffindor, thinking of Ron's poor performance last year, they could only blame the commentator for targeting Gryffindor.

In the commentary booth, Professor McGonagall was secretly retracting the wand she had habitually stretched out just now. The professor of Transfiguration pursed her lips tightly at this time, feeling a little regretful that her partner this year was no longer Li, who she had poked for many years. Jordan, the Gryffindor commentator, had graduated at the end of last semester. Thinking of this, McGonagall sighed heavily and warned in a serious tone: "Zacharais, please watch your words. "

Cormac threw the Quaffle to his players again, and the Gryffindor players formed a T shape and headed towards Slytherin's goal.

Ignoring the Lions' attack and leaving it to Goyle to stop them, Pansy swung her bat and hit the Bludger hard towards Harry again. As long as there was a chance to attack, she would almost always choose to attack. It was Harry Potter. Although Pansy was competing for the first time, the ruthlessness in her nature allowed her to hit the Bludger hard at the opponent again and again without any scruples, unscrupulously and persistently.

The reason why she did this was not only to vent her anger, but also to entangle the Gryffindor Seeker, create more opportunities for Slytherin's Seeker Emily, and prove that she was a more talented seeker than Harry. Ball player, let Emily catch the Golden Snitch as quickly as possible.

Pansy did create many obstacles for Harry, but in fact Emily flew very well. She was small in stature and had taken potions to enhance her physical fitness. She was more flexible and responsive than Harry. After Llanffindor's batters Ron Weasley and Andrew Kirk discovered Pansy's intentions, they couldn't help but target the Bludgers at Emily. When faced with the menacing Bludgers, Emily, who lacked competition experience and was a little afraid of pain, seemed a little flustered.

Allen, who was sitting in the Ravenclaw stands, took all this in sight. After watching the game for a while, he got up and said, "I'm going to the toilet and buying some snacks."

"The Quaffle is now in the hands of Draco Malfoy, and Slytherin attacks the goal. They adopt an eagle-head offensive formation. Cormac McLaggen is shouting for Gryffindor to defend, but he The current task should be to defend the goal rather than command." Zacharias mocked, "Maybe it's because Potter, the captain, doesn't have enough prestige. Didn't Gryffindor make any tactical arrangements beforehand?"

The Slytherins quickly flew across the field, formed an arrow-shaped formation, and flew towards the goal post together. Dean Thomas ran directly into it, trying to take away the Quaffle, but Draco Malfoy did not dodge, but faced Dean directly. Dean was hit and rolled half a circle in the air, but Draco remained Go fast. Ron aimed the Bludger at Draco. Draco was not hit, but it hit the back of Gregory Goyle, who was not far from Draco. They all took their hands off.

Lavender Brown jumped out of her seat in the Gryffindor stands, causing her roommate Parvati Patil to almost fall over, but she didn't notice at all and just jumped on the spot and clapped and cheered: "Ron, you're amazing. It's great, it's such an accurate hit." But then she stopped cheering, her clapping movements stopped, and then she held it in front of her, and Draco's Quaffle hit Gryphon. Many rings flew away rapidly.

With a bang, the Quaffle hit by Draco hit the ring. Cormac waved his arm triumphantly, but he didn't expect Draco to be waiting in the direction of the rebound of the ball. Hit the Quaffle into another ring. Draco made a gesture of disdain towards Cormac, rising on his broom.

"Draco Malfoy, Slytherin's new Chaser, scores first." Zacharias shouted, and the entire Slytherin stand erupted, cheering Draco's name.

"Is the wind blowing?" The slightest cool breeze blew some of Ginny's scattered hair against her cheeks. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Ginny, who stopped to help, raised her hand and pulled back her blown hair. Behind the ears, she had to quickly pull back a goal to prove herself and give her teammates confidence.

"I didn't expect Malfoy to be quite good as a Chaser, but after all, Harry has faced that person who must not even be named, and Parkinson's attack can't do anything to him in a short time." When Alan started holding a pile of snacks, Squeezing towards his seat, the chatter between Cho Chang and Marietta caught his ears.

After Allen allowed himself to sit back in his seat, he gave Luna a few bags of Pepper Naughty and popcorn, and then secretly moved his fingers so that other spectators could not hear the conversation around him: "Luna, Tom Riddle placed a taboo spell on his name Voldemort. Once someone speaks this name, the magic barrier will be broken, and the disturbance caused will make it easier for the Death Eaters to track. However, in addition to locking the location, if it were you, you could Do you know what the person who read out the name was thinking in his mind?"

"It's a good idea, but it has to be combined with the use of statues." Luna, who was smoking and spitting fire from her mouth and nose because of the magical special effects of the candy, stared at Allen with her bulging eyes wide open, "Why are you changing the weather? I Coming out without gloves.”

"I don't like candy quills." Allen patted his pocket.
