Chapter 739: Hogwarts Learning Panel Chapter 316

The conflict was on the verge of breaking out.

"Now the Gryffindor team has possession. Gryffindor's Alicia Spinnet is carrying the Quaffle, heading straight for the Slytherin goal; looking good, Alicia!

Ah, no good—the Quaffle has been intercepted by Warrington. Slytherin's Warrington is charging across the field—wow!

—George Wei Silai's Bludger hit was beautiful; Warrington dropped the Quaffle, and it was—Johnson grabbed it, Gryffindor has control again.

Go, Angelina—beautiful, dodged Montague—careful, Angelina, Bludger! —she scored! Ten to zero, Gryffindor leads!"

Li Jordan continued his passionate commentary.

Angelina glided around one end of the field, waving her fist triumphantly, and the sea of bright red below erupted in cheers—

"Ouch!"

Angelina almost fell off her broom; it was Marcus Flint who had slammed into her hard.

"Sorry!"

Flint said amidst the boos from the audience,

"Sorry, didn't see her!"

A moment later, Fred Wei Silai used his bat to hit Flint on the back of the head.

Flint's nose hit the broom handle, and blood began to flow.

"Enough!"

Madam Hooch shouted sharply, swooping between the two,

"Unprovoked attack on a Chaser, penalty for Gryffindor! Intentional injury to a Chaser, penalty for Slytherin!"

"Don't, Madam!"

Fred shouted, but Madam Hooch blew her whistle, and Alicia flew forward to take the penalty.

"Go, Alicia!"

Li said loudly in the silence of the audience,

"Good! She broke past the Keeper! Gryffindor leads twenty to zero!"

Ha Li quickly turned his Nimbus 2000, watching Flint, whose nose was still bleeding, fly forward to take the penalty for Slytherin.

Marcus Maige stood in front of the Gryffindor goal, gritting his teeth.

"Of course, Marcus Maige is a first-class Keeper!"

As Flint waited for Madam Hooch's whistle, Li Jordan said to the audience,

"First-class! Very hard to break through—hard and harder—good! It's unbelievable! He saved the ball!"

Ha Li breathed a sigh of relief, rising rapidly, searching for the Snitch, but still listening to Li Jordan's commentary word for word.

Taking advantage of no one noticing, he elbowed Ma Erfu hard, not letting him touch the Snitch.

Ha Li would keep acting, waiting until Gryffindor was leading by more than fifty points.

Ma Erfu was still a bit dazed when Ha Li's second elbow arrived.

"Well done! Ha Li! That's it!"

Luo En was jumping up and down excitedly below.

While Xiang Hemin and Jia Siting watched worriedly as Ha Li and Ma Erfu's movements became increasingly aggressive; if you didn't know better, you'd think they were dueling.

Dueling, while playing ball.

"Gryffindor has possession, no, Slytherin has control—no! —Gryffindor has taken the ball back, it's Katie Bell, Gryffindor's Katie Bell has the Quaffle, flying across the field—that was intentional!"

Slytherin Chaser Montague turned in front of Katie; he didn't go for the Quaffle, but instead went to grab her head.

Katie did a backflip in the air, finally managing to stay on her broom, but the Quaffle was lost.

Madam Hooch's whistle blew again. She flew toward Montague and began to scold him loudly.

A minute later, Katie scored another goal.

"Thirty to zero! Learn your lesson, you despicable, shameless—"

"Jordan, if you cannot commentate neutrally—"

"I am stating the facts, Professor!"

It seemed the commentary box was also in chaos.

In the distance, Xiang Xien quietly witnessed all of this, watching Ha Li "elbow away" Ma Erfu, almost capturing the Golden Snitch.

Jia Siting's face soon appeared in his Magic Hand Mirror, and the slightly anxious mood in the image instantly became calm.

"Did you see my message? Xiang Xien, you have known about this all along, right?"

Jia Siting asked, deliberating.

"Mm."

Xiang Xien answered.

He and Headmaster Buliduo had never relaxed their investigation into the Ma Erfu family, and finally, also recently, they had caught some small clues.

Although it wasn't enough to send Ma Erfu directly to prison, making him resign from his position as a school governor and putting him under investigation for a period of time, so he couldn't do any more bad things, was still easy.

On the field, Ha Li was furious;

Below the field, Xiang Xien stood next to Buliduo, appearing calm.

"I am very glad you know how to utilize the rules."

Buliduo was smiling.

"Just a different method, Headmaster."

Xiang Xien said in a low voice. ===== CHAPTER 740 =====
