However, Kyle did not expect to score at the beginning. After a tentative shot, he knew that this game would definitely be a tough battle.
“It’s troublesome.”
Kyle's face was serious and he felt a little regretful.
In this situation, it is not so easy to give Gryffindor a zero... If he had known this, he would not have boasted to Cedric just now.
On the other side, Wood raised his eyebrows at Kyle proudly, then threw the Quaffle to his teammate on the other side.
"Now Gryffindor has the ball... It's the Chaser Alicia Spinnet. She is a talent discovered by Oliver Wood. She was only a substitute last year."
Li Qiaodan continued to explain, but his voice was obviously much louder than before and more passionate.
"The ball is passed to Katie Bell again... Oops, Hufflepuff has snatched the Quaffle, and it's Kyle again, he looks like he can really fly, my god... He doesn't slow down to dodge the Bludgers, this flying skill is incredible, why doesn't he become a Seeker... Sorry, Diggory, I don't mean anything against you."
Cedric looked at the commentary desk speechlessly, but what Lee Jordan said was right, Kyle's flying skills were really good.
As for why Kyle didn't compete for the Seeker position... He had asked the same question before, and had made it clear that he didn't need to consider his feelings, and he was willing to compete fairly.
But Kyle refused without hesitation, saying, "I enjoy the process of playing Quidditch, not playing hide-and-seek with the Golden Snitch."
Obviously, the seeker is a very important position... Cedric shook his head helplessly and continued to search for the whereabouts of the Golden Snitch in mid-air.
at the same time……
"Kyle also came to the goal post again... He was able to score this time... Wait, he passed the ball to Harris, Wood was fooled... Hufflepuff scored!"
"Damn it... Can Bokov's luring technique be used like this?"
"Jordan!" roared Professor McGonagall.
"Sorry Professor McGonagall, I won't do that next time."
With Harris' successful goal, the score became 10:0. But just when the little wizards were about to start cheering, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the court.
It was Snape. He thought that Kyle's action of dodging the Bludger just now was a foul, so he directly canceled the goal.
The score returned to 0:0 again.
"This is not fair!" Harris roared, "'We already scored...why didn't you say that just now!'"
Faced with his questions, Snape turned a deaf ear.
"It's useless. Save your energy."
Kyle, who knew Snape's bad character, stepped forward and said, "Fortunately, he didn't award Gryffindor a free throw. We still have a chance."
"I'll go find Professor Sprout and Madam Hooch..."
Harris waved his arms and said angrily: "If he is going to be the referee in the next game, we will refuse to participate!"
In the stands, many people were also very dissatisfied with the result and shouted loudly.
But it was no use, Snape couldn't hear a word they said.
In the Gryffindor stands, Ron suppressed his excitement and whispered to Hermione, "It seems that what Harry said is right. Snape is indeed targeting Kyle."
"But that's not right." Hermione frowned. "I've watched Quidditch Through the Ages, and Kyle didn't do anything foul."
"Yes, yes, I know," Ron muttered, "but this is for us... Ouch!"
Someone poked Ron in the back of the head. It was Malfoy.
"Oh, sorry, Weasley, I didn't see you there."
Malfoy grinned at Crabbe and Goyle.
Ron wanted to retort, but he faltered and couldn't speak.
Because Snape just called a foul on Kyle for no reason.
"Two..." Malfoy couldn't laugh anymore.
He said with some jealousy: "Damn it, why does Professor Snape take care of you so much? Just because you have no brains?"
"Then you should join the team, Neville Longbottom. With your empty head, maybe Professor Snape will just give you the Golden Snitch."
Neville's face flushed red and he turned in his chair to face Malfoy.
"Shut up, Malfoy, I won't be afraid of you this time!" he stammered.
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle laughed strangely: "It seems that you didn't learn your lesson last time. Why, do you want to try the Leg-Locking Curse again?
I bet it would be fun to hop all the way back to the castle from the Quidditch pitch."
Neville's face turned even redder and he clenched his fists tightly.
But Malfoy didn't care at all and continued to chatter away with some sarcastic words.
Neville finally couldn't bear it anymore and flipped over from the back of the seat. Before Malfoy could understand what was going on, he was knocked to the ground.
Seeing this, Ron immediately jumped over to help. Together with Crabbe and Goyle, the five of them soon rolled into a ball under the seats, fighting even more fiercely than on the court.
But everyone around them was concentrating on watching the game, so they didn't notice them, not even Hermione.
Her eyes were always on the court.
Just now, Harry suddenly accelerated towards the ground without any warning, obviously discovering the Golden Snitch.
But at this moment, Snape happened to call a foul on Kyle, and the frustrated Hufflepuff batsman swung his stick to vent his anger.
The speeding Bludger brushed Harry's nose and flew towards Snape, causing him to dodge back subconsciously.
When Harry came to his senses, the Golden Snitch had disappeared.
"Oh, damn, why did it have to be at this time..." Harry raised his broom in annoyance and returned to the air.
…
Next, the game almost turned into Snape's personal show. He used that magical whistle to blow away Hufflepuff by at least 50 points.
Moreover, in the 30th minute of the game, when Harry and Cedric rushed towards the Snitch at the same time, Snape inexplicably appeared in front of Harry.
In order to avoid hitting him, Harry had to change direction and turn a corner in advance.
But such a simple action made him miss the best chance to catch the Golden Snitch.
When Cedric finally caught the Snitch, the two were within an inch of each other.
Anyway, the game is over! 180:20.
Hufflepuff wins.
When Harry jumped off the broom in annoyance, a hand was placed on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Dumbledore's smiling face.
"You did very well." Dumbledore's voice was so soft that only Harry could hear it.
"Although it's a bit regretful, I'm glad to see that you don't think about that mirror all day...you're living a fulfilling life...that's great."
