After the penalty kick, Ravenclaw's strategy changed a little. After the previous match, they had figured out Slytherin's Quidditch team's strategy. Putting aside the role of the ball seeker, only Draco Malfoy was outstanding and had strong individual ability, and Passi Parkinson was not bad either. The rest of the team's ability was average, so no matter where Draco flew to, there would be at least two people surrounding him at all times. However, this did not seem to pose much of a threat to Draco's offense. He still took over the entire team's offense as usual, and even led the score to 60 points several times, although he seemed to be getting more and more tired.
However, Ravenclaw was not too nervous about this. With the other Slytherin's standard, even if Ravenclaw had to double team Draco and had one less person to defend, with the tacit understanding and coordination of the Ravenclaw's positioning and coordination, they were basically able to withstand Slytherin's Student League level skills.
The match continued for a while, and the score maintained around 50 points for Slytherin's lead.
At this moment, Draco was rushing toward Ravenclaw's goal with all his focus. A wandering ball was hit away by Pency who had rushed over him, and then — whoosh — bang —
There were screams from the audience. Edward's wandering ball hit Draco's shoulder, causing his body to tilt to one side instantly. Draco drew an arc in the air and attacked his opponent tenaciously, ignoring the cold sweat on his head due to the pain.
Now, Slytherin was leading Ravenclaw by 60 points again. As long as they scored another goal, Emily would not have to bother Qiu Zhang anymore, and could go and catch the golden cat burglar.
At this moment, the commentary platform, which had been silent for a while, suddenly had a commentary that was not from the commentator.
"Slytherin is leading by 60 points for now!" Professor Mag leaned over and shouted into the microphone in front of Luna, who was in a daze again. "Really? It's already like this?" Luna said blankly. "Oh, look! Ravenclaw's goalkeeper, Lisa Dupin, saved a batter's bat! Oh, that Gore threw it by accident! "
Unlike the relaxed environment in the stands that was amused by another round of laughter, the field seemed to have reached a white-hot stage.
Ravenclaw's batsmen cooperated with each other in the air to continuously hit the walk-off balls towards Draco. Pency was so tired that he was panting. He clenched his teeth and wanted to protect Draco, but he found that Ravenclaw's batsmen liked to deliberately pass the ball in front of Draco a few times after getting the walk-off balls before completing the attack.
"Damn it! Draco, they're purposely keeping you in suspense, making you feel like you'll have a chance if you work harder. They're constantly exhausting your stamina! " Pency cursed through clenched teeth. Her arm that was waving the bat felt weak too. "They're purposely dragging the score around 50 points!"
Draco didn't say anything. He tried to use his trembling hands to control the broom to fly towards the walk-off walk-off balls. This wasn't the first time Slytherin had pulled the score to 60 points, but Ravenclaw would reduce the score to 50 points faster every time.
As time went by, Slytherin's batsmen had to start to participate in the attack to share the pressure on Draco. However, due to technical reasons, the offense still had to rely on the walk-off balls to Draco to complete the attack.
Because he was hit by the walk-off balls a few times and his stamina was insufficient, Draco couldn't help but bend his body slightly and lean against the broom. The sweat on his forehead was dried by the high altitude wind. His goldfish-like eyes were now a little lifeless. He looked very embarrassed. He panted heavily and was almost exhausted. He had already sensed the opponent's intention, but when he thought of the 10-point gap, he gritted his teeth and attacked Ravenclaw's direction.
There was hope, but it was suppressed again and again. Emily, who was entangled with Rachel Zhang, was gliding around in the air. However, she was depressed. She even had the thought of giving up on waiting and directly going to catch the Golden Snitch. Draco had done his best. If Ravenclaw succeeded in dragging him down, then it wouldn't matter whether she could catch the Golden Snitch or not.
After repeated exchanges, Draco, who was almost exhausted, relied on his willpower and the last bit of stamina to advance towards Ravenclaw's goal. He knew that this should be his last attack, and Ravenclaw obviously knew it too. They closed in again, this time with three players!
Draco's body trembled slightly due to excessive fatigue. He was close to the goal, but because the three opponents were closing in, Draco had to raise his sore arm in advance. He wanted to smash the walk-off ball towards the goal, but he underestimated his stamina.
The walk-off ball showed signs of decline in mid-air. According to its trajectory, it obviously wouldn't reach the goal. The Slytherin players, both off the field and on the field, were silent. They were only ten points away, but Draco had no energy left. Slytherin had lost. The students of the other three academies and the graduates who had returned to their schools to watch the game had already stood up and were ready to celebrate.
At this time, a dark-skinned figure in a green jersey picked up the walk-off ball that Draco had dropped. He quickly threw the walk-off ball into the goal guarded by Lisa Dupin, who was still paying attention to Draco. Before Allen's speech, he was Draco's good friend and a member of the training camp, Brace Zabini. After he saw through Ravenclaw's plan, he had been cunningly waiting for this opportunity. He didn't even hesitate to make his previous performance completely lackluster.
A sharp whistle sounded. Mrs. Huo Qi had blown the whistle to score. Slytherin had successfully closed the gap to seventy points.
Emily turned into a green blur as she quickly dove down from the sky, chasing after the golden light that she had already noticed. Qiu Zhang, who had been tangled up with Emily, wasn't stunned like her teammates. She quickly moved her broom and followed closely behind.
The audience suddenly erupted into a huge uproar. The Slytherin players were almost hoarse from shouting. Compared to the three academies supporting Ravenclaw, their numbers were too small.
Emily glanced at Qiu Zhang, who was following closely behind her, and the Ravenclaw players in front of her. She gently touched the broom to change the direction of her flight. Her body was completely bent over the broom. With the buff from the attribute potion, she used the Wulangon's Flight Technique. This made the Golden Snitch in front of her start to change its flight path with her movements.
This technique, which could only be used by professional athletes, could confuse Qiu Zhang behind her and the pursuers in front of her. It made Qiu Zhang behind her unable to distinguish the true location of the Golden Snitch, and made it impossible for the Ravenclaw players in front of her to form an accurate encirclement.
As expected, Qiu Zhang followed Emily and changed directions in the air. This rapid change of direction made it difficult for her, who wasn't a professional athlete yet. However, she was surprised that the little girl in front of her had such good flight skills, just like her brother.
At this time, every player in Ravenclaw didn't care that Emily was Allen's sister. They didn't hold back and rushed towards Emily. Even the goalkeeper, Lisa Dupin, came out. They all wanted to block Emily. The Slytherin players also broke out with unprecedented strength to interfere. This time, they didn't dare to make any foul moves that would cause them to be penalized.
The chaotic entanglement bought Emily precious time. Just as she was about to arrive, she heard the screams of her teammates behind her. Emily didn't turn her head. In order to avoid Ravenclaw's wandering ball, she directly grabbed the broom handle with one hand and hooked one foot on it. She stretched out her limbs and tried to stretch her hand forward in a posture known as the Starfish Upside Down. This was usually a technique used by goalkeepers to ensure that they could defend the goal as much as possible to block the Ghost Fly Ball. However, Emily did the opposite and used it to avoid the wandering ball.
Qiu Zhang was a little stunned as she looked at Emily's hands in front of her. Her boyfriend, Cedric Diggory, was now a star player in the Montrose Magpie Team. His unique skill was the Starfish Upside Down Gavolangon Flight Technique. Although Emily didn't use it together but did it separately, the fact that she could master this flying technique so skillfully at this age was enough to show her talent.
The little golden ball was clenched tightly in Emily's hand and flapped its wings in despair. Emily hooked her foot and her whole body was back on top of the broom. She somersaulted a few times in the air with the broom to express her joy. Then she straightened up and flew around the field with her hands in the air. The Slytherin fans were in an uproar.
As the commentator, Luna seemed to be particularly uninterested in the vulgar things like winning and losing the game. Her bulging eyes were fixed on the tip of Professor Mag's magic wand next to her. As a veteran Quidditch fan and former Gryffindor Quidditch player, Professor Mag was a little excited after seeing the wonderful flying performance.
Before Professor Mag came back to his senses, Luna asked a question into the microphone, "Oh yes, let's not care about the game for now. I just remembered that I saw a question in the hometown magazine of Ravenclaw's Qiu Zhang today. Gentlemen, if your wife and your mother can't swim, but they both fell into the river at the same time, who would you save first?"
Hearing the questions coming from the commentary platform, the spectators, whether they were celebrating or complaining, could no longer focus on the field, especially many families like Harris who had come to watch the game together to kill time. The wives looked at their husbands, and the mothers looked at their sons. Caught off guard, people sat in the stands, and trouble came from the commentary platform.
On Harris' side, Albert suddenly felt the attention from his mother, Morgan-le-Feil, and his lover, Hibiscus Chinensis. He suddenly felt that he was in deep water. He stammered, and Aura's ears turned red. He looked at Allen, who was also beginning to be shocked. He stood up suddenly and said, "Brother, take me to the bathroom. I'm not familiar with the expanded stands!"
"Okay, Albert, come with me!"
Although Allen said that he wanted his brother to follow him, he was actually following behind his brother. On the way, among a group of men who found the same excuse to go to the bathroom and fled, the two of them ran ahead of the others with their extraordinary skills.
Looking at the chaotic Quidditch stands and the fleeing crowd, Hermione's head hurt when she heard Professor Mag in the commentary platform finally realized the vicious question. She stood up and said loudly, "For Merlin's sake! We wizards know magic! Even if we don't know the bubble head spell, we can still throw ourselves out of the water … "
"Mrs. Harris, if we fall into the water together, Allen won't have to go into the water. I'll save you first!"
Before Miss Know-It-All could finish her sentence, she heard Penello's words from behind her.
