Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy - Chapter 462
c356 Ravenclaw vs Slytherin Part 2
“Slytherin’s goalkeeper didn’t keep it! The ball went in!!”
“Good goal! The first goal of the game! Ravenclaw added ten points! The current score is ten to zero!” Jordan shouted, “The most important thing is that they did not fall behind when facing Seven Nimbus 2001. Wind, this is Ravenclaw’s ingenious tactic! They use precise and flexible long passes to break the absolute disadvantage of speed! I think this is a significant reminder for both Gryffindor and Hufflepuff! effect!”
The cheers from the Ravenclaw student stands suddenly rose, while the corresponding shouts from the Snake Yard stands became much lower.
Chang Chu drove Chu Yue past Roger, looking for the golden snitch. Draco originally followed her, but was thrown far away by Chang Chu’s flexible acceleration. Although the performance of Nimbus 2001 was excellent enough, it was still far behind the Chu Yue that Wright had carefully built. The short distance, especially the slightly sloping design flaw of the light wheel’s tail, will cause a lot of negative effects on their delay when making sudden stops and turns.
Draco hadn’t found any trace of the Golden Snitch yet, so he was now lingering by the Ravenclaw goalpost, seemingly trying to wait for an opportunity to block the Eagle Court goalkeeper’s sight and create opportunities for Flint’s attack.
Although what he did was not what a seeker should do, he still contributed to the team in general, so Flint did not scold Draco and leave immediately. Instead, he took this opportunity to shoot a ball.
“Slytherin plus ten points, now the score is ten to ten.” Jordan read on the rostrum, “But I think it would be nice if their seeker could be smarter, because what he is doing now is no longer looking for balls. It’s time for the golfers to do their job, maybe Malfoy should be a chaser or a beater.”
The Slytherin resisters burst into shrill laughter, while the rest applauded Jordan’s speech.
Draco couldn’t help but waved his fist towards the podium.
Just when the stands were boiling, Chang Chu saw it – the snitch was approaching the stands and flying around a fence.
Chang Chu leaned down and dived down, while constantly urging Chu Yue to speed up.
“Ravenclaw’s seeker Chang Chu started to take action! Did she find something? This action!” Jordan, who has a sharp eye, immediately noticed Chang Chu’s action. Compared with other positions, the seeker is always the most popular among people. Focusing on that point, a qualified commentator will never miss the slightest abnormal behavior of the Seeker.
“Yes! The Golden Snitch! Chang Chu saw the shadow of the Golden Snitch!” Jordan said loudly, “Hey! It’s time for the Seeker on Slytherin’s side to move! The Golden Snitch is right there!”
Chang Chu kept accelerating, feeling extremely excited. He was only twenty feet away!
At this moment, a Bludger suddenly appeared, and Chang Chu had to dodge to the side to avoid the Bludger that was about to hit her. However, in these tense seconds, the Golden Snitch disappeared directly, and the original fence had no trace of it.
“Ah!” Chang Chu couldn’t help but hammered his hand angrily.
In the stands, sighs of disappointment and cheers of relief rang out together.
“Ravenclaw is now ten points behind 20 to 30, but I don’t think it matters. The excellence of their seekers is obvious to all, and – maybe it’s an illusion – I think her broom is also very unusual.” Jordan was a little bit Doubtful voices spread throughout the Quidditch stadium through the microphone, “I have never seen a broomstick like this before. Yes, you may not have seen it. Ravenclaw players generally use broomsticks like this.” It was a sweep of seven stars, which is why they scored the first goal in the game, but were immediately caught up by the Slytherins.”
“But Chang Chu’s broomstick looks very different. With such a streamlined design, a medium reddish-brown wooden pole, and a slightly off-white broomstick, I have never seen a broomstick with such an exquisite appearance. It seems to be the latest This broomstick is not included in the “Encyclopedia of Flying Broomsticks”. Is it a new experimental model? And Malfoy’s Nimbus 2001 just didn’t seem to be able to keep up with Chang Chu’s speed!”
“Jordan! Did Miss Chang pay you to do some promotion for her? Hurry up and explain the game!” Professor McGonagall said angrily.
“Sorry, Professor, but I think flying broomsticks is also part of the competition…”
Relying on the superior performance of their brooms, Slytherin quickly caught up with the score, but Roger and the others did not show any weakness. With the coping strategies they spent more than half a year thinking about and training, Ravenclaw also beat the score. It was very tight, the point difference between the two teams was only 20 to 30 points, a very sparse and ordinary point difference.
“Slytherin led 80 to 60. Although the broom gap between the two teams was huge, the Ravenclaws held on to the score tenaciously and did not let this game fall into a ruthless massacre. Now, we have to see how the two seekers perform!”
Chang Chu calmly lowered his height and scanned the court back and forth.
This score gap was expected by everyone in Ravenclaw, including Roger. Everyone knows that it is impossible to defeat Seven Nimbus 2001 by sweeping the Seven Stars. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for those broomstick companies to continuously develop and innovate broomsticks. Clubs from various countries in the Quidditch World Cup would not immediately place seven orders on the day the Firebolt came out! That’s not a small amount!
But this definitely does not mean that the Ravenclaws will directly hang up the white flag and surrender!
Although they don’t all have Nimbus 2001, they have a Seeker who is much better than the opponent, and they also have a much better Nimbus 2001 than the opponent’s Nimbus 2001!
This is what gives Ravenclaw the confidence to win the game!
The sun above the head gradually hung high, and the bright sunlight fell on the crisp grass. A flash of golden light flashed, and a pair of hollow metal wings fluttering at high speed were close to the ground, close to the white center line of the field.
Chang Chu pretended not to see anything, lifted Chu Yue up, and acted like he was overlooking the entire stadium from a high altitude.
Draco, who had been paying attention to Chang Chu’s movements, breathed a sigh of relief and was ready to follow Chang Chu’s example and fly to an altitude of dozens of feet while searching for traces of the golden snitch.
But just as he flew up two meters and Nimbus 2001 completed its activation action, Chang Chu suddenly lowered his body and dived!
The Golden Snitch’s light shines brightly above the center line of the court.
Draco noticed Chang Chu’s movements, but the newly activated Nimbus 2001 did not turn around quickly with his eyes. Instead, it continued to fly up another meter or two with him.
But this time is enough for Chang Chu to get close to the ground!
At this moment, Chang Chu’s mind was extremely clear. She looked forward, one hand left Chu Yue’s broomstick and stretched forward, just in time to catch the little snitch who was about to escape.
Mrs. Hooch’s whistle sounded.
Chang Chu raised her right hand high and turned around in the air. Six blue blurry figures flew towards her.
Just as all the students were crowding down to celebrate for the Ravenclaw players, there were still a few people in the Gryffindor stands, all from the Gryffindor House Quidditch team.
“The situation is not good, Harry.” Wood looked with disappointment at the Ravenclaw team surrounded by students in the center of the field, and murmured in a low voice, “Now that Ravenclaw has won this game, they and us The score between them is too big. Unless you can catch the Golden Snitch twice in a row without scoring any goals, even if we win the next game against the Ravenclaws, we will not be able to surpass them in the total score. ”
“But we all know that is impossible. What Chang Chu is holding is the Chuyue carefully developed by Wright.”
“And Harry, you only have the school’s meteor broomstick, which is the one used by first-year students when they take flying lessons.”
George and Fred said one after another, ignoring the solemn expressions on their faces. It sounded like they didn’t care about winning or losing the Quidditch game.
“I remind you again, Harry, I think you should order a new broomstick.” Wood said, “There is an order form on the back of The Complete Book of Flying Broomsticks. I think you can order a new Nimbus 2001, just like Malfoy’s. Although Nimbus 2001 doesn’t seem to be as good as Ravenclaw’s Seeker’s, we have also seen that there is not much difference between them.”
“I will never buy anything that Malfoy uses and thinks is good.” Harry said calmly.
