Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Chapter 83 Quidditch in the Rain (Part 2)

At Hogwarts, which was eroded by wind and rain, students gradually began to gather on the playground.

Although it was stormy, it still did not dampen the enthusiasm of the students.

"This is going to be a tough game." Wood encouraged the players, but except for Lewis, almost everyone couldn't eat.

Ginny and Hermione came to them and gave them a lot of encouragement, but the effect was not very satisfactory. Because it was a rainy day, Harry was under great pressure. After all, the seeker was the key to determining the outcome of a Quidditch match.

Looking at Louis who was feasting in front of the table, Harry felt strange. While everyone else was extremely nervous, Louis, who was playing for the first time, was the most relaxed one in the team. He even encouraged others to eat more.

Does this guy not care about this game at all?

In fact, this is also a way for Louis to relieve stress, and Quidditch is such a physically demanding sport. If you don't eat well, how can you have the strength to deal with Hufflepuff.

People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will feel hungry.

"Walk."

Wood called everyone to rush to the locker room. Along the way were students who ran to the playground to watch the first Quidditch match of this semester. Louis even saw Malfoy walking towards them in the direction of the locker room with a smile.

"Be careful Potter, there might be dementors in the game."

Harry ignored him, and Malfoy turned his eyes and glanced at the group of Gryffindor players around him.

When he saw Louis, Louis seemed to feel a strange atmosphere, which seemed to be resentment, disdain, and a deep feeling of jealousy.

Louis shook his head, maybe it was his own illusion, mainly because he had not had much interaction with Malfoy recently.

He guessed right. Draco's eyes stayed on him longer than Harry. As soon as he saw Louis, he would think of the scene of the white-haired girl leaning on Louis under the express train, and he felt very uncomfortable. taste.

Perhaps in his heart now, the hostility towards Louis is more serious than Harry's.

The Gryffindor players all put on red jerseys and were waiting for Wood's pre-match declaration, but he said nothing and was about to lead everyone out.

"Wait a moment."

Lewis suddenly remembered something, and he shouted loudly. The team members stopped, they didn't understand what the new guy was going to do.

Louis stepped in front of Harry, took out his wand, and pointed at his glasses.

"Waterproof and moisture-proof."

The wand flashed a light, and Harry felt as if a transparent cloth was covering his eyes.

"In the rainy environment, I think this can help me see more clearly." Lewis explained.

"Clever idea."

Wood praised him, but he was quite satisfied with the choice he made. In fact, before the game started, Wood was very unsure of Lewis's performance. Because after all, Louis had no experience playing Quidditch, so it was a master-level challenge from the beginning.

He wanted to say something else, but music was already playing outside, and Wood quickly organized the team and walked out of the locker room.

On the playground, what greeted them was the Hufflepuff team members in yellow clothes. The handsome young man in the lead was none other than Cedric Diggory.

Louis stood behind Wood, but he didn't see Cedric's appearance clearly. The rain obscured his sight a little, but judging from his figure, he was probably a handsome guy.

He doesn't know much about Cedric. The only thing he knows is that he is a member of next year's Triwizard Tournament. He has excellent magic control and a calm mind. The most important thing is that he has considerable experience in transfiguration. His talent can be said to be the best student of Hufflepuff in recent years.

However, even if he didn't know how good his Quidditch level was, in this kind of weather, could he still see clearly the surrounding environment and Harry's opponents?

The captains of both sides shook hands with each other, and with a whistle from Mrs. Huo Qi, fourteen players staggered into the air at the same time.

"The game has started. The weather today is really not good. We can see that Gryffindor has found a second-year newcomer to replace Arya this time. It can be said that this is his debut. I don't expect him to enter. More balls, but please don’t paddle.”

Fred and George's friend Lee Jordan still performed his commentary duty in the cold wind.

"Jordan, focus on the key points." Professor McGonagall on the side was obviously a little unhappy. She had always felt helpless with Jordan's glib explanation, but it was true that there was no better commentator than General Jordan in the entire school.

"Come right away, come right away, Professor. By the way, we can defeat you even with newcomers, Hufflepuff."

Looking at Professor McGonagall, Li Qiaodan quickly adjusted his posture.

"Okay, now Katie has the ball, oh she goes around the Hufflepuff defenders, dodges their double team, and then makes a beautiful shot, oh no, this damn wind."

Louis watched as Katie's Quaffle was thrown far away, but was blown aside by the fierce wind and hit the ball frame nearby.

The sky is getting darker and darker, accompanied by lightning from time to time, making this game more difficult.

Louis could barely see the surrounding shapes. When he saw the Quaffle being intercepted by two Hufflepuffs from Angelina Johnson, he accelerated and passed between the two people. In the air, he shot Passed the Quaffle.

"Oh, my God, that's our talented young player Lewis. He is running wildly with the Quaffle. Although he is riding a comet, he is riding a light wheel, no, it feels like a Firebolt!" Jordan was full of passion. The explanation drowned out the loud noise of lightning.

"He was swaying from side to side, maybe due to the influence of the rainy weather. He successfully deceived the goalkeeper and scored a perfect goal. Gryffindor led 50-0!"

"Good job, Louis." Fred waved his bat at Louis. This was the third goal Louis scored. He had gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game.

But what really determines the outcome is the showdown between Harry and Cedric.

Harry was looking around for traces of the Golden Snitch, when another bolt of lightning flashed across, and he suddenly noticed the big black dog in the Slytherin stands.

That ominous thing Trelawny said.

Harry's hands were already numb. He turned around and saw Wood shouting at him:

"Harry, behind you!"

A golden Snitch with glittering golden light floated between Harry and Cedric. Digory seemed to have seen the figure of the Snitch and was rushing forward on the broom with all his strength.

Harry leaned on the broom and kept letting Nimbus 2000 accelerate. Perhaps it was the innate advantage of the broom. He was faster than Digory. After a while, he overtook Digory and left him behind.

The wind and rain blew violently by his ears, and he could no longer hear the shouts of others, and the hand was getting closer and closer to the Golden Snitch.

But at this moment, a strong and familiar cold current passed through his entire body. The sky is gradually covered with gray and white hues.

All the teachers and students on the field noticed the change. Louis' face gradually darkened, and what he was worried about finally happened.
