As Mrs. Hooch blew her silver whistle, the Quidditch match officially began.
The stands of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff burst into applause and cheers at the same time, and students from the two houses waved blue and yellow flags vigorously.
At the same time, Li Jordan in the main stand began his very personal commentary.
“Welcome everyone to the second game of the season, Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff! Oh! Ravenclaw has a new Seeker, third-year Qiu Chang. I hope her skills are as good as her looks. …”
“Jordan!” Professor McGonagall’s warning voice appeared as always.
Li Jordan suddenly screamed loudly, “Oh! I’m sorry! What I saw! Ravenclaw suddenly scored! It was Roger Davis who scored!”
The Ravenclaws in the stands immediately cheered loudly and clapped desperately.
“Roger! Roger!”
Eddie raised his hands excitedly.
Scott clapped along with everyone, his eyes scanning the players in the air.
He noticed that Hufflepuff’s lineup also looked very good, and the strength of the two teams was almost the same.
Soon, Hufflepuff also scored.
In the following time, the two teams began to take turns scoring goals.
Both teams performed at an eye-catching level. The players cooperated smoothly and the formations of both sides were varied.
Even the new players who were drafted into the team this school year performed very well.
Unlike the game between Gryffindor and Slytherin, this game lacked a lot of flagrant fouls.
Commentator Lee Jordan went out of his way to praise this, triggering boos from the Slytherin stands.
Time passed and the game quickly entered a fierce stage, but the score between the two sides was always tight and no one could gain much advantage.
“…Maybe the decisive point will eventually fall on the seekers of both sides.” Li Jordan said excitedly, “I have a hunch that the showdown between Cedric Diggory and Qiu Zhang will become the biggest highlight of this game. Point! I hope that boy Cedric won’t lose to his opponent’s beauty…”
“Jordan!” Professor McGonagall interrupted his wisecracks at the right time.
Scott saw that Cedric’s flying movements were somewhat deformed at that moment.
But no one saw the Golden Snitch at this time. Cedric and Qiu Zhang were both involved in the offensive and defensive systems of their respective teams.
Of course, Cedric’s physical condition has a great advantage in this regard.
Two hours later.
“The Golden Snitch still hasn’t appeared.”
Li Qiaodan’s commentary voice has become less passionate.
“This was probably the most anxious match I’ve ever seen at Hogwarts.”
He reported the score on the field somewhat mechanically.
“The score is now 160 to 150, Hufflepuff is leading by 10 points, oh, Ravenclaw scored again, and now the two teams are tied again.”
In the Ravenclaw stands, the students did not cheer for the goal, but gave a polite round of applause.
“Is there no Golden Snitch in this game?”
Eddie had also lost his passion. He sat in his seat with his head raised and looked around for the Golden Snitch.
“I guess everyone is hungry!” he said.
Scott is also looking for the Snitch.
Almost everyone on the court was looking for traces of the little golden thing.
But since the beginning of this game, the Golden Snitch has been hiding somewhere, and has never appeared in people’s sight.
“If this continues, the players’ physical strength will soon be exhausted.” Eddie added.
In fact, he didn’t need to say it.
Everyone can see that the players’ flying movements are no longer as smooth and beautiful as they were at the beginning.
After a while, the students in the Slytherin stands began to leave.
Then, even Gryffindors, who were generally more enthusiastic about Quidditch, had many people leave.
Just then, the Golden Snitch finally appeared.
It suddenly appeared high in the sky in the center of the court, reflecting golden light in the sun. Both Cedric and Cho Chang spotted it.
“The Golden Snitch appears!”
Li Qiaodan roared at the top of his lungs.
“Cedric Diggory and Cho Chang have both spotted the Snitch! Oh! They’re starting to speed up!”
The Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff stands resounded with loud cheers again.
The commentator’s mouth never stopped.
“Look! Other players from both teams are also actively participating in the fight for the Golden Snitch! They are ferociously attacking the opponent’s seeker and protecting their own!”
“oh!”
In the air, Ravenclaw captain Bruce used the bat in his hand to knock away a Bludger that hit Qiuchang’s back at the critical moment.
The next moment, Roger slammed into Cedric on his broomstick.
The Hufflepuff Chaser quickly stopped him.
Cedric and Qiu Zhang flew upwards desperately, while their teammates kept fighting fiercely around them.
In just a few seconds, players from both sides fell off their broomsticks during the struggle.
“They approached the Golden Snitch at the same time!”
Li Qiaodan’s voice became hoarse.
“Oh! The Golden Snitch is moving! It’s escaping downwards, catch it quickly!”
The cunning golden snitch bypassed the two seekers and flew towards the ground at high speed.
Immediately afterwards, Cedric and Qiuchang also began to dive towards the ground at an accelerated speed.
“They are approaching the ground at a high speed! With such a dive speed, no one dares to stop them in front, and even the Bludger can’t aim! Who can catch the Golden Snitch first? This is not a fake move by Wronski!”
In the stands, the audience has stood up, and everyone is holding their breath to watch the actions of the two seekers.
Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall on the main stand both stretched out their hands holding their wands nervously, ready to rescue at any time.
At this time, the Golden Snitch stopped when it was only one meter above the ground.
Both seekers stretched out their hands, and Cedric, who had longer arms, obviously had more advantages.
Qiu Zhang simply retracted her hand, holding the broom handle with both hands and turning the direction, trying to knock Cedric away unexpectedly.
But she obviously underestimated the difference in physique and weight between the two.
Cedric withstood the impact, and the next second he stretched out his hand to pick up the Golden Snitch.
Then, both of them fell to the ground on the cushion created by Professor McGonagall.
When Cedric stood up and raised the Golden Snitch in his hand, deafening cheers came from the Hufflepuff stands.
Hufflepuffs jumped up one after another and threw their wizard hats into the air.
“Oh! What a pity!”
Eddie ruffled his hair with both hands.
Scott stood up, “There’s nothing I can do. Cedric has more experience in the game.”
“Well, we do have to give newcomers some opportunities to grow.” Eddie also stood up, “As a newcomer who participated in the official game for the first time, she has performed very well, right?”
In the stadium, the Ravenclaw players surrounded Qiu Zhang, and Captain Bruce seemed to be comforting her.
Eddie rubbed his stomach, “Let’s go, we should go eat something to fill our stomachs.”
Then, he paused and asked Scott, “Should we go to comfort Roger?”
Scott shook his head.
“I think the team still needs to hold a summary meeting, so there is no need to disturb them for the time being.”
Then, the two walked down the stands and left the stadium with the flow of people.
Eddie kept saying, “What a pity… It’s just a little bit short, isn’t it… Well, well, fortunately Quidditch is a round-robin tournament, we still have a chance.”
The two had a big meal in the auditorium, and then walked towards the classical music club located in the basement of the castle.
On the way, the two talked about Milton’s recent abnormality.
“Is it possible that Professor Flitwick didn’t know about this?”
Scott felt a little strange.
He remembered that Professor Flitwick was in charge of the two music clubs, the Toad Choir and the Classical Music Club.
“Even if the professor doesn’t participate in every club activity, he should know about the abnormalities that happened there.”
The presence of Professor Flitwick was also the reason why he had not taken this matter too seriously before.
“I thought so too.” Eddie spread his hands.
He lowered his voice and said, “Before, I thought Roger was dissatisfied with the activities of the classical music club for delaying his date with his girlfriend.”
“Let’s go and see first, we need to understand the specific situation.”
Scott quickened his pace.
