Chapter 149 The Conspirator's Peeping
A month later, on the Quidditch field, a match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff was in full swing.
This was a very ordinary match in the Hogwarts Quidditch Points League. In the past, not many people would be willing to watch such matches except for the Quidditch fans of the college, especially during the dueling competition. But today, the audience seats were full of spectators, which was unusual.
Because just yesterday, the first round of the dueling competition, which lasted for a month, finally ended.
The draw for the next round of the game will not be held until a week later. The eight winners who have fought hard for a month can finally have a good rest.
Since the dueling competition was suspended for a week, everyone's attention was put back on the long-lost Quidditch game. That's why this match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff has received so much attention.
The sight returned to the field again, and the huge magic billboard with black background and white letters clearly marked the current game data, Ravenclaw 92 points, Hufflepuff 13 points.
A crystal snowflake slowly fell, and it was very obvious against the black billboard. Suddenly, a pure black iron Bludger flew by with a whistle, smashing the snowflake into pieces.
In mid-air, Hufflepuff Seeker Cedric pulled his broom to the side and narrowly avoided the Quaffle flying towards him.
"Mike! You're too cruel!" Cedric stabilized his body and shouted at Mike below.
Seeing that his full-strength shot did not knock Cedric down, Mike smacked his lips, completely ignored Cedric's roar, and looked for the next Bludger.
Mike has been participating in Ravenclaw Quidditch training for a month. After officially joining the training, Mike understood why Roger insisted on participating in the competition himself.
It was not because the Ravenclaw team had reached a critical situation where losing one game would mean losing everything and waiting for Mike to be the savior, but because the Ravenclaw team's performance this year was exceptionally good.
You heard it right. It is because the Ravenclaw team has good results that they need Mike, a "genius" player with amazing performance, to participate in the competition.
The performance of the Ravenclaw team in previous years was not outstanding, and it ranked third all the year round. After all, you can't expect a group of academic masters to have excellent results in both academic subjects and physical education.
But this year, because the Slytherin team replaced Draco, a backdoor seeker, even if all the equipment was updated, the results were still not very good.
The Ravenclaw team relied on the brainless hitting method invented by Mike (for players) to dominate the field and suddenly became the second in the standings.
Such results made Roger think about the Quidditch Cup championship, so he invited Mike back, hoping that with Mike's joining, they can go further.
But the truth is cruel. Mike's super-high precision shot did win many points for the Ravenclaw team at the beginning, and even defeated Gryffindor, the favorite to win the championship. But after a while, Mike was surprised to find that the dodge ability of the players of other teams had improved by leaps and bounds. Now even if he tried his best, he might not be able to knock them off the broom.
Afterwards, Mike learned from the gossip expert Lee Jordan that the day after he played, the teams of the other three colleges began to use real bludgers for hellish dodgeball training.
Mike then understood why the faces of those players were all bruised and purple, and why they looked at him with such resentment.
His sight returned to the field again.
Seeing that Mike completely ignored him and flew straight to the next bludger, Cedric felt something was wrong, so he stopped looking for the Golden Snitch and hurriedly distanced himself from Mike.
After all, if he was really hit by Mike, it would not be a joke.
But Cedric's worry was unnecessary. After controlling the Bludger, Mike did not rush to launch the next attack. Instead, he slowly approached Cedric and carefully observed his movements.
In fact, Mike's goal was not to shoot Cedric down, but to harass him so that he had no chance to catch the Snitch. Of
course, there was a good relationship between the two, but more importantly, it was because Cedric's teammates were too weak and were completely crushed by Mike's teammates.
To use a popular saying in the previous life, the Hufflepuff team was simply Cedric leading six pits.
In the past, almost all the games that Hufflepuff won were won by Cedric catching the Snitch worth 150 points before the score was pulled away by the opponent to 150 points.
But this tactic failed today, because every time Cedric wanted to find the Snitch, Mike would hit a perfect home run in his direction, forcing Cedric to dodge.
Looking at Mike who was holding the Bludger and ready to go, and the score that was getting bigger and bigger, Cedric smiled bitterly. He really couldn't lead the team!
Even though he smiled bitterly, the game still had to go on. There was no such word as surrender in Cedric's dictionary!
Cedric forced himself to cheer up, and his eyes swept across the field, searching for the trace of the Golden Snitch.
But it was too late.
"Bang!"
A brilliant magic firework exploded from the sky, accompanied by the cheers from the audience and the excited voice of the commentator Lee Jordan, the game was over.
Cedric looked down at the fireworks in a daze, and saw that his girlfriend Qiu Zhang was holding up a Golden Snitch that symbolized the end of the game and cheering, and the score on the scoreboard was fixed at Ravenclaw 251 points: Hufflepuff 15 points.
The players of the Hufflepuff team were dejected, without any of their usual energy.
In sharp contrast to them was the Ravenclaw side.
Flowers and applause drowned out the crowd of Ravenclaw.
Mike looked at Cedric, who was in the air, looking stupid and mentally broken, and shook his head with a chuckle. Rejecting his teammates' invitation to celebrate with him, Mike flew straight to the stands, where a girl was waiting for him.
"You're awesome!"
As soon as Mike landed on the stands, he felt a gust of fragrant wind before he could stand firmly, and then Penelope threw herself into his arms.
After taking two steps back to steady himself, Mike looked at the girl in his arms.
Her little nose was frozen red, and her beautiful hair was covered with a lot of snowflakes. Reaching out to wipe away the snowflakes for her, Mike said loudly, "Of course..."
Before he could finish his words, two thin lips blocked what Mike wanted to say next.
In the lively audience, the two people hugged each other and felt that the surroundings had become inexplicably quiet. The only sound they could hear was the other's heartbeat.
However, just as Mike and Penelope were throwing dogs and wolves as if no one was around, a pair of eyes full of hatred were staring at them in a corner of the arena.
