Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 66 Nimbus Company: Excitement

"It seems interesting."

Avada in the stands raised his eyebrows: He seemed to understand the significance of the seeker profession - this profession was equivalent to adding a new system to a game of Quidditch.

Before the snitch slows down, there is a normal scoring confrontation between the chaser and the batter; when the snitch slows down and becomes catchable, the normal game will switch to another mode, that is, both sides begin to interfere with the other party's seeker. , and protect your own Seeker from being blocked - whether or not to catch the Golden Snitch is never the task of the Seeker alone, but requires the cooperation of the entire team.

The two stages are interleaved, and the rules and tactics can be connected, which brings more tactical choices and possibilities. This is the highlight of Quidditch - of course, this is when both players stick to the game. Under the premise of rules.

Last year's game was not as entertaining as this one. At that time, the scoring phase was almost a big competition for fouls. After the snitch slowed down, because the snitch appeared too high, the confrontation area between the seeker and other players was directly separated. Everyone plays his own game...that's why Avada had the illusion that the Seeker didn't need to participate in the confrontation.

Of course, the shortcoming of the ridiculously low foul cost still needs to be criticized.

However, in this game, both Gryffindor and Slytherin were rare in strictly abiding by the rules. Perhaps it was to give the savior a face, or the existence of Balon slightly eased the hatred between the two parties - anyway, Anyway, as the rules were strictly followed and there was no separation of divisions, the game was quite exciting, and even Avada was excited to watch it.

After the snitch disappears, the game returns to the first stage. The chasers and beaters of both sides continued to compete fiercely. Balon continued to walk through the field looking for the Snitch, and Harry was still cruising high in the sky...

Suddenly, Harry's broomstick began to shake unnaturally, and then the shaking began to increase rapidly until Harry almost fell.

Then, the Nimbus 2000 completely lost control and began to twitch and twist crazily all the way, slowly and higher and higher, driving Harry away from the arena...

"My broom is broken!"

He shouted down, but unfortunately no one could hear his voice. He was already too far away from the people below, and they were concentrating on the game and had no time to pay attention to any additional movements...

'Voldemort has taken action. ’

Avada frowned and turned her gaze from the arena to Quirrell and Snape in the audience. She found that their heads were indeed raised higher than the others, staring closely at Harry's broomstick and mumbling something. …

'Where's Hermione, where's Hermione? Help! ’

Seeing that Harry's broom was getting more and more out of control and about to throw him off, Avada couldn't help but look anxiously at the Gryffindor seat, and then noticed that Hermione still had a frown on her face. He glanced solemnly at the auditorium, and it seemed that it would still be some time before Snape's position was confirmed, and whether Harry's broom could last until the next second was a question!

"Baron seems to have stopped cruising, and his broom is slowing down... What does he want to do?"

At this time, Lee Jordan, who was explaining the situation passionately, noticed something strange happened to Slytherin's seeker: "He flew in front of the referee, Mrs. Hooch. Did he want to go to the toilet? Wait, he pointed to the sky. , let's see what happened... Oh my god! Harry, what are you doing!?"

"Harry's broom seems to have malfunctioned. Merlin is on top. Fortunately, Balon discovered the problem in time and reported it to the referee. Mrs. Hooch is ascending to Harry's side for emergency protection..."

"As expected of Balon."

Avada nodded slightly: In addition to looking for the snitch, he had to use fake actions to disturb Harry and prevent Harry from discovering the snitch first. Balon had been paying attention to Harry's movements and was the first to notice his abnormality—— In the fierce battle of the first stage, the only person in the audience who can pay attention to one seeker is probably another seeker.

At the same time, Hermione finally knocked over Quirrell and secretly lit Snape's robe on fire. In the chaos, Harry's broom gradually regained its balance.

'Wait a minute, this time it seems that everyone in the audience noticed the abnormality of Harry's broom due to the commentator's attention... So isn't Nimbus Company going to lose money? ! The latest epoch-making product developed almost killed the savior...'

Seeing that the situation had passed, Avada's mind became more active, and she couldn't help but begin to mourn for Nimbus Company.

‘Explain it to Baron after the matter is over, and let Mr. Shafik discuss with Dumbledore to issue an announcement, otherwise the market value of Nimbus Company will probably plummet... By the way, is there such a thing as a stock market in the wizarding society? ’

While thinking about the details of the magical world, Avada concentrated on watching the game. Harry, who had just regained his balance, suddenly turned his head and dived almost ninety degrees toward the ground. And Balon had already started galloping towards the same position one step ahead...

"The two seekers discovered the Snitch again! But this time the situation is a little different. The Snitch appeared very low, almost close to the ground!"

"Balon is closest to the Snitch due to his distance advantage, but Harry is still some distance away... Balon is slowing down! He is probably worried that the position is too low and the broom will hit the ground, and wants to use a gentler curve to approach the Snitch... Slytherin Blocking Harry's dive! But Fred and George pushed him back! Well done!"

"Harry overtook Baron, who had slowed down. He was already very close to the ground! But he did not slow down and was still diving at full speed!"

"Beautifully pulled up! He made an almost ninety-degree turn and landed less than two meters above the ground! Merlin, what a superb technology! And the Nimbus 2000 is worthy of being called an epoch-making product. If it were made of any other broom, it would probably break immediately..."

"Harry's broom touched the ground! He's covering his mouth with his hand, probably vomiting...wait, what is he holding?!"

"It's the Golden Snitch! He caught the Snitch!"

"The score is 170:50, Gryffindor wins!"

Cheers that nearly shook the stadium erupted from the Gryffindor seats. Amidst the cheers and chaos, the first game of the year ended beautifully - this game even had a certain memorable significance: no one fouled during the game between Gryffindor and Slytherin, and Slytherin's The Seeker even helped someone from Gryffindor... a special mention in the history of the school cannot be overstated!

"Thank you very much."

Before leaving, Harry gratefully ran over to thank Balon. It seemed that he heard about Balon from his teammates, and then sighed with emotion: "If all Slytherins were like you, then How nice it would be.”

"..."

Baron rolled his eyes silently: Good guy, I will help you save your life and harm my college. Although my college does have some things, you are too upright, little bastard!

In the end, he could only keep smiling and praise Harry for his ninety-degree turn, and then vowed in his mind that he would buy the best broom next year and give the boy a beating, while talking to the man who still looked a little aggrieved. The Slytherins left the field. After Harry celebrated with his teammates, he returned to his friends...

"It was Snape who did it!" Ron couldn't wait to explain to Harry and Hagrid. "Hermione and I both saw it. He was chanting a spell on your broomstick, muttering in his mouth, and keeping his eyes fixed on you. you!"

"nonsense."

Hagrid shook his head, looking rather disdainful of such remarks: "Why would Snape do such a thing?"

Harry, Ron and Hermione exchanged glances, wondering what to tell him. It was Harry who finally decided to tell the truth: "I discovered something about him..."

"On Halloween, Snape tried to pass through the passage guarded by the big dog with three heads, but was bitten on the leg. We think he wanted to steal something guarded by the big dog!"

Hagrid:? !
