A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 32 Slytherin Vs. Gryffindor

Eleven o'clock, Quidditch field.

Quidditch is the most popular entertainment activity in the wizarding world, no doubt about it.

The whole school's teachers and students almost surrounded the entire field. The principal, the deans of the colleges, professors and various staff members sat on the top of several stands, while most of the lower grade students sat below the stands.

The giant Hagrid probably liked the lively atmosphere, so he also stayed in the stands below, and he even brought a pair of binoculars.

In the Slytherin locker room, Aaron changed into the green uniform with some disdain, "Don't we have other colors of uniforms?"

"No!" Terrence said, "Red, green, yellow, and blue represent the four colleges respectively. The green uniform is exclusive to Slytherin. This is a tradition that has not changed for thousands of years."

"That's really a pity. To be honest, I don't like this color."

"You have to wear it even if you don't like it." Captain Marcus walked over and said, then he looked at the other players, "I won't say much else. We may suffer a little bit in this game compared to the past.

But we have also experienced quite rigorous training during this period, plus the most powerful seeker in the history of the college, Aaron Gaius, I really don't understand why we have any reason to lose.

Slytherin will win, and this year's trophy will definitely belong to Slytherin."

Several people in the team also smiled at each other, as if they had seen the scene of Slytherin crushing Gryffindor.

"Ahem! I'm not trying to spoil the fun, but if you want to win beautifully, you still have to take your enemies seriously." Aaron said something out of place, and then he was met with the angry eyes of everyone, who never took their opponents seriously.

"Okay! Just ignore what I said." Aaron said with a wry smile. Although these teammates were conceited, their flying skills were not bad.

More importantly, he was confident in his own strength. If he could grab the Golden Snitch, he could get 150 points and end the game.

This was equivalent to the Seeker mastering the rhythm of the game. Even if the score was really widened, as long as it was within 150 points, the Seeker could still turn the tide.

In other words, as long as these teammates were not particularly bad, Aaron could still lead them.

A few minutes later, the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams flew above the court on their broomsticks. With their appearance, the cheers from the audience became louder, like a raging fire.

"Hi! This is the first Quidditch match of the season at Hogwarts. Today's match is between Slytherin and Gryffindor." Commentator Jordan said excitedly.

The two teams circled in the air for a while, and then they occupied half of the field respectively. The two beaters, three chasers, and one goalkeeper of each team looked at each other in the air.

Above them were the two seekers, Aaron Gaius and Harry Potter.

Harry Potter was a little reserved. Although he had improved his skills significantly after more than a month of training, today was his first official match, and he was a little nervous in public.

"Harry, you seem a little nervous!" Aaron asked.

"A little bit, aren't you nervous?

I heard from Ron that you've never participated in training."

"Uh... I don't feel nervous at all, this is just a small scene.

As for not participating in training, it's purely because the college team has confidence in me. In fact, I am quite confident too." Aaron smiled. At this time, he saw the 'Nimbus 2000' logo on Harry's broom and raised his eyebrows, "The broom is good."

Harry smiled awkwardly. After all, Aaron's broom was still the old Nimbus series of the school, which was slightly slower than him.

"The players of both sides are in place. Now Professor Hooch is entering the field. The game is about to begin." Jordan said.

The two looked down together and saw Madam Hooch walked to a wooden box and looked up at them. "I hope both sides can play with level and style."

As she said, she kicked the wooden box.

The Bludger flew out of the box, followed by the Golden Snitch.

The Golden Snitch flew around Aaron and Harry, the two seekers, provocatively.

Professor Hooch picked up the Quaffle from the box and threw it upwards, and the game officially began.

All the players on both teams except the Seekers rushed to the Quaffle at the first opportunity, after all, if they hit the Quaffle into the opponent's goal, they would get ten points.

After a while, Angelina, the Gryffindor Chaser, grabbed the Quaffle and rushed to the Slytherin goal.

During the period, she encountered several interceptions, but she dodged them all with her flexible body.

Finally approaching the goal, she threw the Quaffle to the goal from a few meters away.

Bang!

Just when everyone thought that Gryffindor was about to score, the Quaffle was blocked by the goalkeeper Bletchley.

The Quaffle fell into the hands of Slytherin, and the offense and defense were instantly switched.

Angelina accelerated and rushed towards Bletchley, but he just smiled at the Gryffindor girl and passed the Quaffle to the captain Marcus behind.

As the captain, Marcus' flying skills were quite good. He started from his own goal, avoided the pursuit and interception of the Gryffindor team, and the sudden attack of two Bludgers, and crossed most of the field to reach the Gryffindor goal.

He threw the Quaffle with all his strength, and it rushed to the goal, but the goalkeeper Wood appeared in time and hit the ball back with a broom, and the Quaffle fell into the hands of Gryffindor again.

Wood looked at Marcus, who was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and smiled and shook his head.

Gryffindor's chasers Caddy and Arya cooperated with each other, passing the ball around the pillars of the stands, and after crossing half of the field, they passed the Quaffle to Angelina, who made the final throw.

This time, the Slytherin goalkeeper was a step late, and the Quaffle went into the left goal.

Ding!

"Beautiful, Angelina scored, Gryffindor got ten points." Commentator Jordan said excitedly, and then pressed the scoreboard, and the score between the two colleges changed from zero to zero to ten to zero.

Professor McGonagall next to Jordan applauded excitedly, and the Gryffindor in the venue also cheered loudly, and Slytherin's momentum weakened instantly.

The Quaffle fell into the hands of former Seeker Terrence, who quickly adjusted his state and flew towards the Gryffindor goal. Behind him was Montague with a bat to escort him and block the attack of the Bludger.

Terrence bypassed Spinnet, Katie, the Weasley brothers, and avoided a Bludger, and finally came to the Gryffindor goal.

There was no surprise, the Quaffle was still intercepted by Wood, and he passed it to Angelina who was flying over.

At this time, Marcus flew to Montague, snatched the bat from his hand, and wanted to hit the Bludger at Wood.

But just as he raised the bat, Terence grabbed his arm, "Don't forget what we promised, the dean is still sitting there! You don't want him to come back and talk to us, do you?"

Marcus was stunned for a moment, glared at Wood who was a little confused, threw the bat to Monta, and then turned around and left.

The game continued, the bludgers ran around the field, and the batters hit them at the opponent's players.

The quaffle was snatched back and forth, and after a few minutes of warm-up exercises, the atmosphere on the scene became more heated, and the offense and defense were constantly exchanged, and the hardest-working one became the goalkeeper.

Wood and Blackie each stayed at their posts and tried their best to prevent the opponent from scoring a goal. The score remained at ten to zero and never changed.

At this time, the two seekers who had been hovering in the air became the focus of the audience's attention.

Aaron's eyes kept searching for the Golden Snitch from the beginning of the game. He didn't pay much attention to the game situation, and only made simple evasive movements when the bludgers flew towards him.

Harry, however, devoted most of his energy to appreciating the game and cheering for the excellent performance of his own college. This was not to say that he had forgotten his identity as a seeker, but that he was simply a little too excited because it was his first time on the field.

Commentator Jordan also introduced the information of the two seekers to everyone: "Both seekers are freshmen in the first year. One is the famous Harry Potter. He was spotted by Professor McGonagall and was specially recruited into the college team in the first flying class and served as the seeker of Gryffindor."

"Potter!" The Gryffindors cheered loudly.

"The other is Aaron Gaius. He showed a talent far beyond his peers at Hogwarts. He was a talent discovered by Professor Snape. He..."

Jordan's voice stopped abruptly. He originally wanted to talk about Aaron's "glorious deeds" of "bathing" the sorting hat when he entered school, but at this time Aaron suddenly chased after a golden stream of light.

"Is that the Snitch? Wow! Aaron found the golden snitch." Jordan shouted excitedly.

Harry also reacted and immediately chased after him on his broom. The Nimbus 2000 also exerted its full speed at this time, gradually closing the distance with Aaron.
