HP calls me Queen

Chapter 18 Quidditch Competition

Harry and Slytherin Seeker Terrence Higgs had been staying relatively high up, overlooking the pitch for the Snitch.Harry seemed to have spotted the Snitch, but just as he was about to move, something went wrong with the broom.

Delphine took the time to glance at the auditorium.Sure enough, the old bat was staring at Harry nervously, his mouth kept opening and closing.This was seen by Hermione, so it's no wonder that little Lolita misunderstood.

Delphine glanced again at Quirrell not far behind Snape.Quirrell was also staring closely at Harry, but he was much less obvious than Snape.Delphine could only faintly see his lips trembling slightly.It is estimated that it is difficult to find without careful observation.

Pity.Delphine searched around, but did not find the Snitch.Otherwise, catching the snitch at this time will save you worry.

Due to Harry's higher position, although he had been paying attention to Daphne and a few people in the auditorium.But most people on the field didn't notice it at all.Still trying to score.Due to Delphine's distraction, Angelina scored again, narrowing the score gap to 50:110.Not only because of Angelina's activity, but also because of the Weasley brothers.

Having to complain about the eccentricity of the power of the plane again, the Weasley brothers actually began to master the advanced skills of predicting the shot after a short period of discomfort.Perhaps they have been able to grasp it long ago, but the opponents have never had weird flight trajectories like the Slytherin in front of them. They always go straight and don't need too much prediction.But now that they met, they immediately unlocked new skills.Two consecutive hits narrowly missed Marcus.No way, compared to Delphine and another chaser, Derian Pusai, Marcus's size is a circle bigger, and the target is naturally easy to attract hatred.

But the Slytherin batsmen were finally starting to go from nothing to something.Not looking to attack other Gryffindor players, just protecting the three Chasers.But when they came to protect Delphine and the others, no one interfered with the three of Angelina.So the three also started to score without obstruction.Slytherin's goalkeeper is much worse than Wood's. Even if the opponent doesn't cooperate, he can't keep a few balls.

The scores of the two sides rose rapidly, but under the influence of Delphine, Slytherin was still far ahead.The score came to 170:260.

At this time, there was a commotion in the auditorium.Delphine knew that little Hermione went to set the fire.Sure enough, the power of the plane is stalwart, the little Lolita burned the old bat's robe, the old bat got up and bumped into Quirrell behind him, and Harry was saved.

Afterwards, Harry regained control of the broom and was quick to spot the Snitch once again—glasses still had an advantage, Delphine cursed afterwards.Then, it rushed over like an arrow.Terrence Higgs apparently also spotted the Snitch based on Harry's actions, and also rushed up.The Gryffindors were all staring at Harry and Terrence Higgs.Ready to see the competition between the two.

"Quick attack!" Delphine beckoned, and Marcus and another chaser, Derian Purcell, followed immediately.Use Gryffindor to attack them continuously when they don't care about them.

Wood tried to shout, hoping that other players could stop him.But house-level Quidditch players simply don't have that quality of play, not even the gifted Gryffindor players.As for the Slytherin players, they have been abused by Daphne a lot lately. Daphne has emphasized this problem many times, and only then has there been a change.

In official competitions, although there are not many cases of catching the Golden Snitch but losing the game, there are also many cases.If everything went according to what Daphne knew, this would have happened during the match between Ireland and Bulgaria in the Quidditch World Cup that Harry and the others watched in the fourth grade.As the world's leading seeker at the time, Bulgaria's Viktor Krum abused the opposite seeker, but his team was far inferior to Ireland.In the end, although the Golden Snitch was caught, he still lost the game.

Delphine has a psychological shadow for a talented monster like Harry and a child of the plane.So even though their Seekers are older, more skilled, and their speed is the most outstanding in their team, they have also undergone their own special training.But Delphine still feels that in the process of competing with Harry Potter, there is a great chance of failure.The only Seeker ever to beat Harry in a match was Hufflepuff's Cedric Diggory, and look what happened to the kid, he died the next year.

Therefore, from the beginning, Delphine's plan was to score points with all her strength, and use the results of special training to directly defeat Gryffindor from the points.The score was so big that even if Harry caught the Golden Snitch in an emergency, it could not be reversed.

Few student golfers in the academy have this kind of thinking. Even when Wood taught Harry the Quidditch rules, he said something similar to that as long as you catch the golden snitch, we can win.Even Wood, the captain, has this kind of thinking, let alone other players.
Things developed as Daphne expected, and the minds of many Gryffindor players were attracted by Harry and Terrence who were competing, and their defense and attack power were greatly reduced.Delphine scored quickly for the Blades' trio of Chasers.Wood could only yell helplessly, but in front of the Legilimency Delphine, his efforts were useless.

Harry's Quidditch talent was on display at this moment, although he couldn't keep up with the Snitch under the harassment of the two Slytherin batsmen.However, after finding the feeling of the game, his performance became more and more amazing, and he even tried to use the not-so-standard "Lonsky fake move" to trick Terence without a teacher.This even caused the commentator Lee Jordan to scream.Accompanied by all kinds of compliments for Harry, such as the youngest player ever, the talented Seeker and so on.Regardless of the presence of an official first-year player on the field, he was still the captain of Slytherin!
Harry's performance can be described as impressive, especially the two non-standard "Lonsky fake moves".But Terrance is not a World Cup-level player after all, and he is far from having such a strong desire to win.So there is a risk of turning away early.But in this way, facing Harry's sudden accelerated sprint, especially the seemingly dangerous sprint, Terence's reaction was not so quick.

When Harry dived at high speed again for the third time, Terrence did not follow up immediately, but this time Harry really spotted the Snitch.The wolf story applies to the whole world!And when Terence also found the Golden Snitch, it was already at least two body distances behind.

When Harry discovered the Snitch, the mad attack of the trio of Slytherin Chasers led by Delphine also reached its peak.When the Weasley brothers reacted and wanted to help Wood stop Slytherin's attack, the score had come to 170 to 320.

As Harry charged at the Snitch, Delphine sprinted at high speed and intercepted a Quaffle thrown by Alicia Spinnett, who was about to pass the ball but was a little slower due to injury.The three Slytherin Chasers rushed again.

Marcus blocked Angelina who wanted to fight, and Delphine and Derian Pussey sprinted alternately, and they came to the goal in one breath.Delphine faked a pass to Adrian Pousey before the bottom left hole.Sure enough, Wood was fooled again, and with just one movement, Delphine had already rushed to the hole in the lower right corner at high speed.

At the same time, Harry passed Terence completely, and the Snitch was right in front of him, less than a meter away.It's just that he is only 11 years old, with a stunted and thin body, and his small hands are really not long enough.Harry had obviously made a decision, and his body arched and he jumped forward—fortunately, his flying height was less than one meter at this time.It was this ultra-low altitude that made him throw Terence away.

Afterwards, the result was as it should have happened. Harry jumped forward and fell to the ground without grasping his balance, but bit the Snitch with his mouth.
Almost at the same time, Delphine tricked Wood into a key goal.The score was fixed at 320 to 330.Slytherin won by a narrow margin of 10 points!
There was a tsunami of cheers from the Slytherin audience.Turning to Gryffindor, many little lion cubs who were slow to react had already raised banners to cheer, but they froze inexplicably when they saw the expressions of people around them eating shit.Even the teachers of many colleges were surprised.It was the first time in the Academy that the Golden Snitch was caught but failed to win.

Many senior Gryffindors were arguing that Delphine's last goal came after Harry caught the Snitch.Although because Harry swallowed the snitch into his mouth.It was only when she spit it out that Mrs. Hooch declared the game over.But according to the rules, the game should end the moment the Seeker catches the Snitch.

And the time when Delphine scored the last goal and Harry jumped at the Snitch was almost at the same time, so it was difficult to judge which one was ahead and which one was behind.Mrs. Hooch and several college deans had to come to Dumbledore to ask how to deal with it.

On the court, players from both teams returned to the ground.As the result of the game has been disputed, the two sides have not yet cheered.Wood and Marcus stared at each other.It's like wanting to swallow each other alive.

"My Harry caught the Snitch first!" Wood said.

"A chicken keeper!" Marcus responded.

"My Harry beat your Chasers by one street!" Wood said.

"Vegetarian goalkeeper!" Marcus.

"Some of our players were injured, otherwise we would have won!" Wood said.

"Vegetarian goalkeeper!" Marcus.

"..." Wood.

Seeing his old opponent Wood holding his breath, Marcus only felt that all the [-] pores in his body were relaxed, and he was indescribably comfortable.

And at this time, the result of the game came out.

Due to the distance, Delphine did not know the process of their discussion, but in the end it was Dumbledore who stood up.Dumbledore was not present in the first half of the game, probably because he was not in Quirrell so he dared to play tricks.He was present in the second half, and he could see clearly the last part of the game, so when there was controversy in the game, as the headmaster, he would naturally take the lead.

"I have to say, I saw a wonderful game today!" Dumbledore started like this: "How long has it been since I saw such an excellent game. I think it has been a few years, or more than ten years? An excellent match Player, that's great, especially since he's only in the first grade!"

When Dumbledore said this, everyone in the Slytherin team changed their faces except Daphne.On the other hand, everyone on the Gryffindor side showed joy.The corner of Delphine's mouth twitched, she realized that there was something behind the old bee!

"However, the three Chasers in Slytherin are even more amazing. The perfect coordination, excellent command, and the mastery of the game process amazed me and all the professors! I think the academy has at least 20 There hasn't been such a brilliant team of Chasers in years or 30 years." Dumbledore said this, looking at Delphine on the court.Although the distance was far away, Daphne could still feel the light shining from those bright eyes hidden behind those crescent moon glasses.

"After the judgment of several professors and me, Miss Lestrange completed the throwing action before Mr. Potter caught the Snitch. The time when the ball went into the hole and the time when Mr. Potter caught the Snitch are completely different. At the same time. According to the international standard rules of Quidditch, if the ball has been shot before the end of the game or the timeout, if the score is valid, this rule is valid. We judge that the Slytherin College team won the game!"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, the little snakes in the audience cheered astonishingly. At first, the cheers were chaotic, and then the slogan gradually became unified: "Delphine! Delphine! Delphine!"

The corner of Delphine's mouth curled up, she took out her wand from her bosom and pointed at the sky, a gorgeous golden and green firework rose into the sky, forming a huge Slytherin snake logo in the air.At the same time, they shouted: "Slytherin!" All the little snakes paused slightly, and then cheered in unison: "Slytherin!"

The sound resounded throughout the arena, and all the audience, no matter the students or the professor, all looked sideways at it.
