At the same time, the match ends immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means that as long as the score difference between the two teams hasn't exceeded one hundred and fifty points, whoever catches the Snitch will win the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when the Golden Snitch appeared, both Harry and Slytherin's Seeker naturally rushed toward it without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their starting times were nearly identical, and initially they flew neck and neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the youngest Seeker in a century, Harry's reputation was well-deserved. Despite starting simultaneously, he quickly pulled ahead by an entire body length thanks to his special flying technique and equipment advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone with the slightest bit of perception could see that barring any accidents, Harry would inevitably catch the Golden Snitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape, who had witnessed this scene, revealed a flash of obvious disgust in his eyes, though no one knew what he was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from his right hand, Quirrell, who had been staring at Harry intently, suddenly narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione, who had hidden nearby early on as instructed, saw this scene and quickly gripped her wand tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he finally going to make his move?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Harry was about to catch the Snitch, everything changed suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous \"BOOM,\" Slytherin captain Marcus Flint flew in from the side and crashed straight into Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the violent impact, Harry's Nimbus 2000 was knocked sharply off course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, having received Sherlock's warning beforehand, Harry had maintained full mental preparation. When this sudden crisis struck, he immediately grabbed his broomstick with both hands in the first instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire stadium immediately erupted in a chorus of boos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Hooch directly blew her whistle to interrupt the match. She flew angrily to Flint and strongly condemned his behavior, then awarded Gryffindor a penalty shot in front of the goal posts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flint did that on purpose!\" Ron roared furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean shouted even louder: \"Malicious foul! Send him off, referee! Give him a red card!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can't send players off in Quidditch,\" Ron said to Dean, feeling somewhat regretful. \"Also, what's a red card?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid expressed his agreement with Thomas at this moment: \"They should change the rules of the game. Flint nearly knocked Harry off his broom in midair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He'll pay the price,\" Sherlock said quietly, looking at the tall Flint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron, Hagrid, Dean and the others suddenly felt as if the temperature around them had dropped several degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Angelina Johnson scored the penalty, the score became twenty to ten with Gryffindor leading again, and the interrupted match resumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all this commotion, the Golden Snitch had disappeared from everyone's sight, which was somewhat disappointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry actually felt relieved. Due to Sherlock's warning, he had been on high alert from the very beginning. He had even thought that Flint's brutal collision was also Quirrell's doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seemed that was just the opponent's personal behavior—simply a player with no sportsmanship and corrupt moral character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After mentally condemning his opponent strongly, Harry, who was now wandering aimlessly in the high sky, felt somewhat idle and couldn't help but think:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could Sherlock have been wrong? Even if Quirrell really wanted to harm me, he wouldn't be crazy enough to do it in front of all the teachers and students...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the moment this thought arose, his flying broomstick suddenly gave a terrifying jolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit!\" Harry cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly abandoned any wishful thinking and immediately used all four limbs, gripping the broomstick tightly with both hands while clamping it firmly with his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one second later, he realized how wise this decision was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously obedient Nimbus 2000 completely ignored his control and began flying rapidly through the air, accompanied by violent left-right swaying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the flying broomstick intended to throw its master from the sky during continuous spiral ascent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock naturally was the first to notice Harry's abnormal condition. He quickly turned his telescope toward Quirrell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Quirrell in the lens was staring intently at Harry. Strangely, he wasn't speaking as one might expect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock immediately understood—it was a nonverbal spell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then directed the lens toward Snape. This one wasn't staring at Harry like Quirrell and apparently hadn't noticed anything amiss yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was mainly because Slytherin had just thrown the Quaffle through Gryffindor's goal posts again, tying the score and attracting the attention of most people, including Snape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Snape was still Snape—he quickly discovered the problem and immediately began responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, only a few people noticed that the Nimbus 2000 was convulsing and twisting wildly like something possessed, carrying Harry higher and higher, away from the pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron, who had been instructed by Sherlock, immediately became anxious: \"Sherlock!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really don't know what Harry's trying to do,\" Hagrid muttered, still not realizing the severity of the situation. \"If I didn't know him so well, I'd think he couldn't control his broomstick...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're quite right,\" Sherlock said with a cold gaze, handing his telescope to Ron. \"Keep watching him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"him\" naturally referred to Snape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron grabbed the telescope and saw Snape standing in the middle of the stands opposite them, staring intently at Harry with his lips moving constantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's he doing? Being malicious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quite the opposite—he's protecting Harry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Sherlock raised his wand. A purple firework burst from the tip of his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gotten the answer, he wanted, it was time to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, even the most thickheaded people realized something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lee Jordan spoke rapidly: \"What's wrong with Potter? His broomstick seems to have a problem! My God, he can't control himself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Hooch was also somewhat confused, hesitating whether to terminate the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Marcus Flint again displayed his complete lack of sportsmanship, seizing this opportunity to grab the Quaffle and score three consecutive goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, all the Gryffindor players had their attention on Harry, and not one of them bothered with Flint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crowd of people rushed toward Harry, trying to bring him to a safe area first. But before they could get close, the broomstick rose higher again, leaving them far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side of the stands, Hermione, who had been lurking near Quirrell, watched Harry's situation with her eyes and felt anxious in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Sherlock, she had guessed that Quirrell was casting a nonverbal spell. But remembering Sherlock's earlier instructions, she forced herself to be patient and not interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frantically worried, her gaze constantly moved between Harry, Quirrell, and Sherlock's position below the banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several times she was about to act impulsively, but ultimately chose to trust Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clasped her hands together on her knees, silently praying for Harry's safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a purple firework rose from the direction of the banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione immediately realized this was Sherlock's signal to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, she drew her wand and whispered the spell she had prepared long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, bright blue flames leaped from her wand and shot straight toward the hem of Quirrell's robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1179,"2026-06-10T06:27:24.273Z",1,"novelbin.me","adf37710ed210b2b0cedc16eab9ef968d984e8869422fe9cb275a3dd5ea7fdeb","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-61","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-59",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
