Pretend to spot the Snitch in a low area and dive sharply toward the ground, then pull up and ascend just before making contact with the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core of the move is to make the opposing Seeker imitate you and crash into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The diving speed and height from the ground are determined by the person executing the feint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move has a high danger coefficient; if it fails, it could result in crashing into the ground oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Named after Polish Seeker Josef Wronski.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without doubt, Krum had successfully executed this feint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had stopped his dive in time not far from the ground, while Lynch hadn't been able to stop and crashed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of the Omnioculars, Harry noticed that at this moment Krum's concentration was extremely intense, his facial muscles were stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand now!\" Harry slapped his thigh. \"Krum never saw the Golden Snitch at all—he just wanted Lynch to imitate him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little brother, I thought you would have spotted that right away,\" Sherlock said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Harry didn't react immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you forgotten so quickly? In that match after Easter, you did the same thing to young Malfoy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Sherlock's reminder, Harry finally remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were behind in points, Wood had required him to catch the Golden Snitch only when Gryffindor was ahead by more than fifty points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that situation, to prevent Malfoy from spotting the Snitch, he had made similar feints several times: pretending he had already spotted the Golden Snitch and making Malfoy chase him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these was a diving feint from high altitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had fooled Malfoy several times with this method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, in an even earlier match against Ravenclaw, Harry had done something similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diving was his forte anyway. Like Krum today, he had dived from high altitude, drawing Cho Chang to follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at that time he had stopped at ten feet from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, Harry wasn't confident he could still control his broomstick if the distance got any shorter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, it was because he was kind-hearted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With ten feet as a buffer, even if Cho couldn't stop, she wouldn't crash into the ground like Lynch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Krum was different—when he stopped his dive, he was less than five feet from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speed was also faster than Harry's, and his dive more aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finishing the replay, Harry adjusted the Omnioculars back to normal speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understand now?\" Sherlock asked after seeing Harry's actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry nodded and expressed sincere admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's truly amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry had never seen anyone who could fly like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Krum looked as though he didn't need a broomstick at all—he moved freely through the air as if completely independent, light as a feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed amazing.\" Charlie came over at this point. \"I certainly couldn't do it like him, but I think you could, Harry, and you too, Sherlock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry shook his head repeatedly. \"Impossible, I couldn't do it either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock didn't immediately deny it. After pondering for a moment, he said, \"With targeted training for a period of time, it might not be impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you all talking about?\" Seeing this, Ginny quickly returned from the side of the box and took the opportunity to sit next to Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione, seeing this, immediately sat down next to Sherlock without a word: \"Yes, what are you talking about? I want to hear too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus the seating order became: Hermione—Sherlock—Charlie—Harry—Ginny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron, who had originally been sitting between Harry and Ginny, was now squeezed into the corner next to Percy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're talking about the Wronski Feint,\" Charlie said, not noticing the subtle changes in everyone's seating. He enthusiastically explained to the young wizards:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, anyone who plays Quidditch knows a bit about this feint, whether intentionally or not, but very few can do it to Krum's level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, to be precise, aside from those veteran experts, among young people I've only seen him able to do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move requires not only sufficient courage and confidence but also places considerable demands on the broomstick...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Charlie explained, the mediwizards on the field were giving Lynch some drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, Lynch recovered his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this process, Krum circled above Lynch's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Krum is indeed the best Seeker—look, even now he's using the time while Lynch recovers to search for the Golden Snitch,\" Charlie said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Harry quickly took out his Omnioculars again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, while Krum appeared to be flying freely in the air, he was actually seizing this undisturbed opportunity to search for the Snitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, if he could catch it now, not only would the match end, but Bulgaria would win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, by the time Lynch stood up, Krum still hadn't found anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the loud cheers of the green-clad Irish supporters, Lynch remounted his Firebolt, kicked off with his feet, and shot into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His recovery seemed to give the green team confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When referee Mostafa blew his whistle again, the Chasers quickly organized their offense and launched frequent attacks with superior technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following fifteen minutes, the green team swept forward unstoppably, scoring ten consecutive goals in a 100-0 run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This put them ahead 130-10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the match began to take on an anything-goes character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Chaser named Mullet charged toward the goalposts with the Quaffle again, Bulgaria's Keeper Zograf flew out to meet her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything happened too quickly—even with Harry's excellent dynamic vision, he couldn't see clearly what occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only heard angry shouts from the Irish supporters, followed by Mostafa blowing a long, shrill whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Harry understand that Bulgaria had just committed a foul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mostafa is reprimanding the Bulgarian Keeper for excessive force—elbowing!\" Bagman seized the opportunity to explain to the clamoring crowd: \"Ah—yes, Ireland is preparing for a penalty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought only Slytherin would do something like that,\" Harry said somewhat belatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but recall that final match against Slytherin last term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To prevent Gryffindor from winning, the opposing team had used every means to stop them from scoring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't imagine the World Cup as something sacred, my dear friend.\" Sherlock shook his head. \"Admittedly, their skills are much higher than school students, but in some ways they're the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the desire for victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like deliberate fouls such as the one just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And some methods unrelated to the match... Harry, Ron, I suggest you both cover your ears.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock said this because after Mullet was hit by the opposing Keeper, the leprechauns had risen angrily into the air like a swarm of glittering bees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the referee had awarded Ireland a penalty, the leprechauns quickly formed the words \"HA! HA! HA!\" together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing such provocation, the veela across the stadium naturally couldn't tolerate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They angrily tossed their hair and began dancing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, not only Harry and Ron but even the Weasley twins simultaneously plugged their ears with their fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the underage male wizards, only Sherlock and Percy didn't do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Hermione and Ginny grabbed Sherlock's and Harry's arms respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock immediately understood Hermione's meaning, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he looked toward the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry turned his face, only to see Ginny giggling as she said to him: \"Quick, look at the referee!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A very comical scene appeared on the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The respected referee Hassan Mostafa from Egypt had descended from the air to stand before the dancing veela.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His behavior was very odd—he kept flexing his limbs, showing off his muscles to the veela while excitedly stroking his large mustache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, this won't do! Our referee has been bewitched by the veela! Can someone go up and slap him?\" Clearly, Mr. Bagman saying this was purely enjoying the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more than 40 chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1711,"2026-06-10T06:27:24.274Z",1,"novelbin.me","7801f4a15189f4f383d40c0ce3a258aa15a53edd5a4be736010b8f31c528d857","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-480","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-478",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
