If there was a poll for the worst competition of the year, Gryffindor's team would definitely be selected for this competition.
Let's talk about the final result. Gryffindor's team lost to Hufflepuff's team by a large margin, which was the biggest point difference in recent years. Harry and McClagan were both admitted to the school hospital. Also, the culprit, McClagan, was completely kicked out of the team.
Besides that, Elaine was also furious. It was her doing that McClagan was admitted to the hospital.
It was not right to use a curse on a classmate. For this, Professor Meg punished her with confinement.
This was already a very heavy punishment. After all, she had always been very lenient towards Elaine. Of course, Elaine's confinement was only for a day. Professor Meg showed mercy because she was also very angry with McClagan's performance.
Let's talk about the competition. The weather was good. There was no wind, and white clouds were everywhere. Sometimes, the sun shone brightly.
Elwyn and Corin had taken their seats in the audience early in the morning. As mentioned before, the students were very enthusiastic about this competition. This year, Gryffindor's team and Hufflepuff's team were the favorites to win the championship. There was still more than an hour before the competition started, but the audience was already full.
Many students wore the Hufflepuff's logo and cheered for them. Gryffindor's team was a little weak.
This was a rare scene. Generally speaking, Hufflepuff's team followed Gryffindor closely in such a major competition. The two schools had a good relationship and were natural allies. They were not like Slytherin, who was always on the opposite side of Gryffindor, nor were they neutral like Ravenclaw.
This time, the match between the Gryffindor team and the Hufflepuff team naturally put the two academies on opposite sides.
Ever since Cedric's departure, the Hufflepuff Academy had never had such an opportunity to win the Quidditch Cup. Under their unparalleled thirst, the entire academy erupted with astonishing enthusiasm, and their support for the team was also astonishing.
Needless to say, Slytherin Academy, who did not have any good intentions in the first place, the enemy of an enemy was a friend. Most of them did not wish for Gryffindor to be well, so they turned to support the Hufflepuff Academy.
There were also many people in Ravenclaw College who supported Hufflepuff. They probably thought that Gryffindor had won too much.
After all, the Quidditch Cup had always belonged to Gryffindor since the year Wood graduated.
From a rational point of view, this was not a good thing.
Soon, there was an image of a golden-red field surrounded by a large area of yellow-black in the stands.
The Gryffindor Academy was under a lot of pressure to defend their title. This was the biggest challenge for the new captain, Harry.
The game began. Amidst the deafening cheers and boos of the entire stadium, Harry and his team entered the field.
The sun was a little harsh, and he used his hand to block it. Before he could speak, he heard McClagan say to his team, "What a troublesome weather! Listen, you have to fly in a place where the sun doesn't shine, so that the opponent can't see you … "
"I'm the captain, McClagan. Stop instructing them," Harry said angrily. "Go to the goal."
"Of course, of course, I'm just reminding you out of goodwill," McClagan muttered.
After he left, Harry said to Ginny and Elaine, "Alright, remember to fly in a place where the sun doesn't shine."
"I don't like that guy. Why did you let him be the goalkeeper?" Ginny asked in a low voice.
"I hate him too, but we have no other choice," Harry replied.
"He's a nuisance, even more annoying than Ron." Elaine commented and made a face at McClagan. "Seriously, why do you always choose such a person to be the goalkeeper? Why don't you let Elwyn have a try?"
"Because Elwyn said he's afraid of heights. I rarely see him fly," Harry said. "Actually, Ron is fine."
He wanted to put in a good word for Ron in front of Elaine. Their relationship had been tense since the last time they quarreled.
But it was useless. Elaine said that she didn't like the smell of Ron and dragged her broom towards the field.
Smell?! Was she talking about the smell, or the smell of blood?
Harry didn't think too much about this question. He had just seen Malfoy sneak up the castle stairs at the entrance of the auditorium, followed by two girls.
This made Harry very concerned. Was he going to do something bad again?!
He thought about this question and walked over to shake hands with the captain of the Hufflepuff team.
Then, Madam Hooch whistled and rose into the air. Harry rose higher than the rest of the team and galloped around the field, looking for the Snitch. If he could catch it earlier, he might have a chance to return to the castle and get the Marauder's Map to figure out what Malfoy was doing …
"Smith from Hufflepuff got the Ghost Fly Ball!" A dreamy voice echoed over the field. "Of course, he was the commentator last time. Oh, Ginny Weasley bumped into him. I think it might have been intentional. It looks like it. You know, Smith was rude to Gryffindor last time. I think he regrets it now! I have to say that I like Ginny. She is a good person … Look, a Ghost Fly Ball hit Smith in the nose. Elaine Slytherin did it. It's beautiful. She must be retaliating. Elaine is also very popular. It is said that she is a vampire. I heard … "
Elwyn looked at the commentator helplessly. Who in their right mind would let Luna be the commentator?
It was a very inexplicable story, long blonde hair, butter beer bottle cork necklace …
Professor Meg, who was next to her, looked a little uncomfortable. It seemed that he really regretted the appointment.
In fact, when Luna began to talk about the legend of vampires, almost everyone looked at the podium, including the players who were playing. Then they suddenly realized what was going on and moved their eyes back to the previous place.
"When Ginny and Elaine were concentrating on dealing with Smith, the Ghost Fly Ball was taken away by a big guy from Hufflepuff. Well, I don't remember his name. It seems to be Bibo. No, it is Ba Ginsi …"
"It is Cadwallader!" Professor Meg, who was next to Luna, said loudly. The audience burst into laughter.
"Yes, Cadwallader. His name is a bit roundabout, but he is very fast. He flew towards Gryffindor's goal." Luna continued to commentate. It seemed that she was not affected by the surrounding. "The ball is in. Look, the ball is in. Where is the goalkeeper of Gryffindor? Didn't he see Cadwallader flying over with the ball? "
Elwyn, who was sitting below, could explain what McLagan was doing. He saw the whole process.
