The Admiral of Hogwarts

#51 - Thrillers on the field

"Backup plan—" After hearing Veneto's words, Hugo's face showed a shocked expression, and then he asked through the admiral network at an extremely fast speed. "I always thought your backup plan was just a joke."

"We never joke about battle plans." Veneto said. "Why are you surprised by this plan? It's just climbing to an unmanned tower in the Quidditch stadium and shooting Professor Quirrell in the head with a rifle. For me, it's not difficult to hit a stationary target at a distance of two or three hundred meters on the field with a rifle with a scope."

"Of course I know it's not difficult for you, and the Carkano rifle can blow the head of the President of the United States, so naturally it can hit Quirrell's head." Hugo said helplessly, "But the core is that directly sniping on the field will cause too much commotion, and one bullet will definitely not kill the noseless guy attached to him."

In fact, Hugo was a little tempted when he first heard about this backup plan. After all, shooting Voldemort's head with a rifle would definitely get a lot of Destiny Points. But later, he thought that this kind of exposure might completely expose himself to the eyes of others and completely affect his future acquisition of Destiny Points, so he gave up this idea.

"I understand, the backup plan is now canceled." Veneto nodded after hearing what Hugo said, and then looked at him and assured him. The good thing about ship girls is that once they receive a formal order, they will definitely execute it directly. There will never be any Gekokujo behavior like the Showa Staff.

"So you guys are here!" Just after Hugo and Veneto quickly finished communicating through the admiral network, a huge figure moved over from the side, even blocking the sunlight. Seeing this, Hugo raised his head and saw a furry face facing him.

"Hagrid, are you here to watch the game too?" Hermione asked enthusiastically. She had just seen Hagrid coming from the Gryffindor side, probably after discovering them, these acquaintances, he came over to say hello.

"I was watching in my hut just now," Hagrid said, patting the large telescope hanging around his neck, "but that's not the same as watching the game in the crowd. The Snitch is still nowhere to be seen, is it?"

"Indeed, the Golden Snitch has not been found yet." Hugo glanced at the situation on the field and said, "You see, the Seekers of both teams are now flying at the top of the field, slowly circling, which shows that they haven't found anything at all."

The following game proceeded step by step, with the scores of both sides rising alternately. Almost 20 minutes into the game, Harry suddenly swooped down from the air, as if he had seen his target.

At the same time, the Slytherin Seeker, Terence Higgs, also swooped down and flew side by side with Harry. The other players on the field seemed to be stunned at this moment. They hovered in the air, watching.

"Bastard, how dare they!" Hagrid suddenly roared, and at the same time, shouts of "Foul" came from the Gryffindor audience. Because at this time, Marcus Flint deliberately charged into Harry, preventing him from catching the Golden Snitch, and the action was so big that he almost knocked Harry down.

Fortunately, although Harry was participating in the competition for the first time, his talent and previous hard practice made him quite skilled in flying, so he firmly grabbed the broom and was not thrown off. However, in this way, the Golden Snitch that was just in front of him naturally disappeared without a trace.

Madam Hooch angrily rebuked Flint, and then ordered the Gryffindor team to take a free kick at the goal post. Seeing this scene, Hugo immediately notified Firefly to prepare to take action through the admiral network.

"I'm going to the bathroom, you guys cover for me here for a while." Firefly, who was waving a banner and shouting slogans vigorously among a group of Gryffindor first-year students, immediately told her two roommates after receiving the notice, and then handed the banner in her hand to them and hurried along the aisle in front of the seats towards the exit.

However, this was just a trick. After entering the space inside the stands and finding that there was no one around, Firefly quickly jumped onto the shelves around the aisle, and then used her hands and feet like a nimble ape to quickly move towards the high platform where the faculty was located.

"What's the situation now?" After arriving at a place more than ten meters below the high platform, Firefly immediately asked Hugo through the admiral network. Because she couldn't see the situation outside from here, according to the plan, her actions at this time would all rely on Hugo's command.

"Harry's broom has started to go out of control." Hugo's voice came from the admiral network, "But now everyone hasn't noticed Harry's abnormality. I think if you want to get Destiny Points, you may need to make this matter even bigger."

Letting Harry hang in the sky for a while was not because Hugo suddenly became decisive in killing, but because although this crisis looked dangerous, it was impossible to cause serious harm to Harry anyway. Since this was the case, Hugo would naturally not let go of this good opportunity to farm Destiny Points.

After all, Voldemort was unable to directly use magic to attack Harry because of the magic his mother used back then, and after possessing Quirrell, he became sluggish due to brain incompatibility, so he came up with the bad idea of interfering with Harry's broom and letting him fall down.

Not to mention how easily such a direct curse would expose his identity, just considering that most of the professors in the school were sitting on the viewing platform, even if Harry fell directly from the sky, these professors could easily save Harry, making Voldemort's attack useless.

But no matter what, Voldemort still used this tactic, which in Hugo's eyes was the worst strategy, to let Harry experience the feeling of being between life and death. He felt that his broom was like a mad cow, trying to throw him off.

Fortunately, as the latest broom launched by Nimbus Racing Broom Company, the Nimbus 2000 has its own powerful dark magic resistance. In addition, Snape, who had been staring at Harry from the beginning of the game, immediately chanted a protective spell. This prevented Harry from falling from the sky immediately.

However, his broom twitched and twisted wildly all the way up. Soon it surpassed everyone on the field. So at this time, the people in the stands also began to notice something was wrong and pointed at Harry, exclaiming in surprise.

At this time, the others on the field also made their own preparations accordingly. For example, the Weasley twins wanted to bring Harry to their broom, but whenever they approached him, the broom would soar even higher. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Marcus Flint grabbed the Quaffle and began to charge towards the unguarded Gryffindor half.

"Now—move!" Hugo, who stood up with the others, immediately issued an order to Firefly through the admiral network when he discovered that almost everyone on the field had focused their attention on Harry.

"Understood!" Firefly answered crisply.
