Chapter 3032 (_) Turning the Tide
"??"
Until the score between Gryffindor and Slytherin became '330:530', Slytherin's ace chaser Austral was still a little confused and didn't understand what had just happened.
Because he seemed to only remember that he was charging with the ball, and a black shadow flew over from the blind spot of his vision. When he came to his senses and seemed to be hit by something, the ball in his hand had disappeared.
Already?
Then, when he looked back, he saw a small figure throwing the ball into their Slytherin goal.
"referee!"
"Referee! She committed a foul!"
Slytherin's seeker and captain Marcus Flint immediately shouted at Mrs. Hooch, hoping that Mrs. Hooch would invalidate the goal just now.
"..."
"..."
"..."
However, after a brief pause in the game, and after the three referees, Snape, McGonagall and Hooch, came together to discuss a few words, Mrs. Hooch announced loudly:
"The goal stands!"
"The rules of the Quidditch game only stipulate that the seeker can only be responsible for catching the snitch, and the game ends when he is caught!"
"But nothing in the rules says the Seeker can't touch the Quaffle and score!"
"So, after discussion by the referee team, the goal is valid!"
"The game continues!"
Using the amplifying curse, Mrs. Hooch ignored the Slytherin captain's annoyance and directly ordered the game to continue and the Slytherin team to serve.
And Mrs. Hooch is indeed right, because the rules of the Quidditch game are that the contestants are divided into two teams riding broomsticks to compete in the air. Each team has seven people, each consisting of a goalkeeper, three chasers, and two chasers.
It consists of a batter and a seeker.
As a ball game, 'Quidditch' uses three different balls at the same time: the red ball as big as a football is called the 'Quaffle', and the chasers pass the 'Quaffle' to each other.
Try to get it through the opponent's ring, and you will get 10 points each time.
The rules say that the Quaffle can be thrown, kicked, or touched with any part of the body, but the rules do not say that the Quaffle is not allowed to be touched by players other than the Chaser.
Speaking of which, in principle, it's okay for goalkeepers and batters to run and score, as long as they don't mind having their own goal empty and the bludger unguarded?
Similarly, in principle, it is okay for other players to run to guard the goal to prevent the enemy from scoring.
The same goes for the Bludger. As long as you have the ability, it doesn't have to be a batter. Any player can use the Bludger to knock down the opponent's players.
However, the Bludger is offensive. Is it a bad idea for players other than the batter to hit the Bludger with their fists?
Therefore, just now, as a seeker, Anne ran to score points instead of looking for the Golden Snitch. Although that kind of thing seemed a bit unprofessional, no one can deny that she did not commit a foul.
"Damn it!"
"Austraire!"
"You go organize the offense and keep scoring!"
"Remember to keep your edge!"
Seeing that the referee declared the goal valid, Slytherin's captain Marcus Flint was a little annoyed, but after thinking about it carefully he felt relieved and seemed to think that it was no big deal.
"I'm going to find the snitch!"
"Be careful, don't let her succeed again!"
"come on!"
With that said, when the game restarted and his team members kicked off the ball, he began to search around the court at high speed.
Although now the little Gryffindor Seeker girl has shamelessly joined in the scoring, that also means that he will have no interruptions to find and catch the Snitch!
You know, Slytherin is in the lead now, and it's still 530:330, which is a full two hundred points ahead. In this way, unless the opponent can score six consecutive goals before he finds the snitch, otherwise, once he waits for him
If they find and catch the snitch, Slytherin will win.
A full six goals, including the possibility that his team might score goals during this period, would make the time even longer. In such a long period of time, he would be very sure that he would be able to find and successfully catch the snitch.
Therefore, he felt that no matter what attempts or efforts the Gryffindor team made, it was just a desperate struggle?
"marvelous!"
"pretty!"
At this time, on the commentary platform at the highest point of the auditorium, the voice of Gryffindor College commentator Li Jordan was excited and high-pitched. He was dancing and loudly explaining with excitement in his eyes:
"Oh--!"
"Dear Gryffindor warriors, did you just see it?"
"That's right!"
"Our little Annie, our Seeker Annie, she's doing something that's never been done before: She's not looking for snitches, she's scoring points!"
"Yes!"
"I can understand, she wants to level the score first..."
"Oh no!"
"It's not about leveling, but you want to reduce the score difference to within 150 points first?"
"Yes, that's right! As long as the score difference does not exceed 150 points, she can go catch the snitch. I have to say, that little girl is very bold and very thoughtful!"
"I love so much!"
"she--"
"oh--"
"Merlin!"
"She, she, she - she grabbed the ball again! She actually rushed directly to Slytherin's scoring ring alone!"
"Oh my god——"
"She's speeding up, she's so fast!"
"It looked like a bolt of lightning!"
"ah!"
"She dodged the Bludger, and she dodged the collision and interception of two Slytherin players!"
"pretty!"
"She is indeed the best Seeker in Hogwarts, her skills are unparalleled!"
"Now the Slytherin players have nothing to say, because they have the same broomstick and the same Nimbus 2000, but they just can't catch up with her, and they can't even touch her shirt!"
In the stands, commentator Li Qiaodan slammed the table, with a proud and excited smile on his face.
"alright!"
"There is no enemy in front of her, only a goalkeeper!"
"Anne, Anne, glory to Gryffindor!"
"Look -"
"She made a beautiful dive, and with a swish, she was very successful!"
"pretty!"
"340 to 530, the score difference is only 190 points!"
"She just needs to score four more goals, and then she can go catch the snitch!"
"Yes, I'm right, it's four!"
"Because if the scores are the same, the team that catches the snitch wins. This is the rule——"
As he spoke, the expressive Li Jordan's expression quickly changed from the original disappointment and annoyance to nervousness and excitement. He kept waving his hands and even took the initiative to remind him. He seemed to be more excited than the audience?
"Now Slytherin kicks off—"
"The Slytherin team has begun to attack. Gryffindor players, you must hold on and be careful of those Bludgers!"
"etc!"
"Guess what?"
"Slytherin's pass was intercepted by Anne again. How did she know that they were going to pass the ball?"
"Oh my god——"
"It's a miracle, she has grabbed three goals in a row!"
"not good!"
"The members of the Slytherin team rushed towards her like crazy. They wanted to intercept her with a sea of ​​​​people tactics!!"
"Danger--"
"It's a Bludger!"
"Get away quickly!"
"What?"
"Look! Our warrior, she didn't back down!"
"She nimbly turned aside and used her broomstick to strike lightly. As if by magic, the Bludger suddenly changed direction and hit directly..."
"Hahaha!"
"Slytherin's goalkeeper was downed!"
"oh--"
"He fell to the ground and his arm seems to be broken?"
"Annie scores again!"
"350 to 530, the score difference is only 180 points!"
"Now it's fun!"
"Because according to the rules of Quidditch: During the game, if an injury occurs on the field, other players are not allowed to come on to replace it! The team will send the injured player off the field and continue the game."
"In other words, the Slytherin team now has no goalkeeper!"
As he spoke, Li Jordan jumped up excitedly and made a vicious hitting motion with both hands, not hiding his preference for Gryffindor and gloating about Slytherin as a commentator.
Originally, he should have received another warning, but unfortunately, the referees had all gone to check on the Slytherin team goalkeeper who was shot down by Annie, and they had no time to deal with him for the time being.
Beep——!
"Mrs. Huo Qi blew the whistle, the game starts again!"
"Now, the Slytherin team is responsible for kicking off——"
"Slytherin's Chasers are starting to attack... No!"
"What are they doing?"
"Why did they fly over there and fly so high...Are they trying to make a detour and dive attack?"
"They started passing the ball and Angelina missed..."
"Katie gave chase!"
"The opponent passed the ball again..."
"Alia goes to intercept-"
"ah!"
"It's a pity that the good girl also failed, and the cunning Slytherin team passed the ball again..."
"What's going on?"
"Why did the Slytherin team start flying back?"
"wrong!"
"Merlin, Gryffindor players, be careful, they are stalling for time!"
"careful--"
"They're just stalling for time—"
"Shameless!"
"Shameless tactics!"
Finally, Li Jordan, who was a bystander, came to his senses, and then directly exclaimed at the commentary table to remind the Gryffindor players loudly.
"Li Jordan——"
"I'm warning you!"
And without any exception, he received the third warning from the referee Mrs. Huo Qi today. Maybe, he will be completely excluded from the commentary position in next year's game?
"Oh my gosh!"
"What do I see? Annie scores again!"
"When did she get the ball?"
"I was just talking to Mrs. Huo Qi..."
"Come on, Gryffindor!"
"The score difference is only twenty points!"
"Two balls!"
"Only the last two balls left!"
"It's time for Slytherin to kick off—"
"They continued to use delaying tactics. Katie, Angelina and Aaliya chased after them, and Annie also..."
"What?"
"Annie flew back, what is she going to do?"
"ah!"
"She's chasing Flint?"
"I know! I know!"
"It's the Golden Snitch!"
"Merlin!"
"Flint has just spotted the Snitch, he's starting to speed up, and now Annie is on her way to stop him!"
"What a good girl!"
"She still has time to pay attention to Flint's situation. I almost forgot about the Slytherin Seeker, but she still remembers it!"
"Oh no-"
"Flint stretched out his hand, and the Snitch was two meters in front of him. I saw it!"
"He is slowly approaching, and Annie can't catch up because they are both the same kind of broom!"
"Damn it!"
"Why did Dumbledore restrict the use of Firebolts?"
"If she uses the Firebolt, she can definitely catch up!"
Seeing this, seeing that the captain of the Slytherin team was about to catch the snitch, Li Jordan's voice couldn't help but trembled slightly due to nervousness and fear, and he even covered his forehead with his hands in pain, as if he didn't dare to look.
What happened next?
"!!"
"Aha!"
"Flint failed!"
"It's a Bludger!"
"Annie just made a beautiful spin, swatted away the Bludger that intercepted her with her broom and hit Flint!"
"Slytherin's batter screwed up!"
"He should have done nothing!"
"Unfortunately, Annie's strength was a little weak this time, and Flint was not shot down!"
"But he also lost the trace of the Golden Snitch..."
"ah?"
"Score again, who is it?"
"oh--"
"Katie scored?"
"Sorry, I just paid attention to the snitches and didn't pay any attention to how they got the ball!"
"However, I still want to say-"
"Well done!"
"Now Gryffindor is down to the last ball!"
"Of course, two are fine, because that way it's safer. After all, the Slytherin team doesn't have a goalkeeper, right?"
Li Jordan still didn't hide his preference for Gryffindor at all, and he was so unscrupulous in his careless tone and hostile attitude towards Slytherin House, even though it attracted Snape, who was one of the referees.
The same goes for giving him angry glares frequently.
Beep——!
"Mrs. Hooch blew the whistle. The game started again, and it was Slytherin who served because they just lost a point——"
"We, the three golden flowers of Gryffindor, chased after us!"
"ah!"
"Professor Snape almost bumped into them. I think he must have done it on purpose..."
"Team Slytherin continues to waste time..."
"But I don't think this is a good idea, because the three of them have to face the pursuit of four Gryffindor players, and their captain Flint has now lost the Snitch!"
"He's wandering around down there. You can tell he's very impatient?"
"us--"
"Oh! Beautiful!!!"
"Katie grabbed the ball, let me tell you, facing the four Gryffindor girls chasing and intercepting them, they had no chance!"
"Now, Katie's on the attack!"
"The Slytherin team started to retreat urgently, but I am not optimistic about them because their goal is empty, hahahaha——"
"Come on girls!"
"We are just one short of..."
"Huh?"
"What happened to Annie?"
"Why did she fly back again? Is it because of Flint?"
"But, Flint is obviously on the other side now..."
"Aha!"
"Gryffindor scores!"
"380 to 530, the difference is only 150 points!"
"We're even!"
"pretty!"
"Wait a moment!"
"Why did Annie start to speed up?"
"ah!"
"I know! I know!"
"It's a snitch!"
"She spotted the snitch!"
"Now if we catch the snitch, we will be tied, but since the scores are the same, the team that catches the snitch wins!"
"not good!"
"Flint saw it too, I shouldn't have reminded him..."
"Both of them launched a dive acceleration towards the Snitch at the same time!"
"Annie!"
"Faster!"
"hateful!"
"Why not use Firebolts?"
"Dumbledore is too partial!"
"If there were firebolts..."
"ah!"
"pretty!"
"Well done George!"
"What did I see?"
"George, the twin brother, knocked over Flint one meter above the ground, and they rolled to the ground together. Fortunately, neither of them seemed to be injured..."
"Flint started to take off again, but unfortunately, he will definitely not be able to catch up!"
"Angelina got the ball!"
"Look, the Slytherin team was obviously disrupted. They didn't expect Anne to have such a strategy!"
"And we, Gryffindor, are making history, we are writing legends!"
"Angelina is flying towards the Slytherin goal!"
"But I don't think it's necessary, dear Anna, just hold the ball tight and stay away from the Slytherin players and stall for time."
"Look! Our little Annie is already reaching out!"
"The Golden Snitch is one meter in front of her!"
"Close!"
"Very close!"
"Hey!"
"What did I see?"
"Flint actually wanted to catch up? But unfortunately, he was intercepted by George again!"
"He still wants to hit someone?"
"That's really not a good idea. After all, there are so many students and professors watching..."
"Actually, George doesn't need to intercept him at all, because it's too late."
"look!"
"She got it!"
"Annie caught the snitch!"
Beep——!
Almost at the moment Li Qiaodan stood up and cheered loudly, Mrs. Huo Qi's whistle also sounded at the same time, announcing that the game was over.
"530 is better than 530!"
"Gryffindor wins!!"
"We Gryffindor won the Quidditch final!"
"Gryffindor friends, let us cheer together!"
"Annie, Anne, she is our hero!"
"Not only did she find the Golden Snitch, she also used her wisdom and courage to lead our team to victory in the face of adversity, helping us achieve a glorious victory!"
"This is simply a new chapter in the history of Quidditch. She once again broke the Hogwarts Quidditch record!"
"Let us applaud and cheer for her together!!!!"
"Annie!"
"Annie, you are our eternal pride!"
"In today's game, because of you, the names of Gryffindor players will forever shine on the wall of records in the Quidditch field of Hogwarts!"
As he spoke, he waved a Gryffindor flag that he had taken out from nowhere, as if he wanted to convey this joy to everyone present.
"Lee Jordan!"
"For your words and deeds, as well as your rude words to the principal just now, fifty points will be deducted from Gryffindor!"
At this time, Snape, one of the referees, flew to the commentary table angrily and punished Li Jordan and Gryffindor.
However, at this time, the audience, in addition to the students of Slytherin House, the teachers and students were cheering, shouting and applauding vigorously, especially the Gryffindor students, who were shouting hysterically.
Yes, no one paid any attention to Snape's angry behavior or listened to his boring lines of deductions.
Chapter completed!
