Chapter 398: The Winning Ball

"I certainly agree with you inviting an Auror over!" Harry said urgently. "We can't joke about everyone's safety."

"I will negotiate with the Ministry of Magic." Snape didn't say much, which made Harry feel something was wrong.

After the students dispersed, Snape said in a very, very light voice: "Not a single Auror has successfully used the Rider system, Harry."

"Then why did you say that!" Harry felt a bit unhappy. In this way, the students would think Harry deliberately let Luo En show off his heroics.

"Not everyone among the students is on our side." Snape glanced at him sideways. "Do you understand?"

After a brief doubt, Harry understood Snape's meaning a little bit: Perhaps, the appearance of the hostile Rider was just to test the combat power of Britain. If Harry and Luo En were made to carry the pot of "deliberately showing off heroics", this could cover up the weakness of the Ministry of Magic to a certain extent.

"And, the Chinese recommended Mr. Su Ge Mi to me, I think this should not be without a target." Snape mentioned this person, and Harry felt relieved all at once. Indeed, on the issue of Kamen Riders, it's not that no one is backing Luo En up.

Considering that China already had a plan to cultivate Luo En, Harry chose to accept Snape's statement, but he immediately remembered another thing, "By the way, Professor, I discovered a spell that can pose a threat to Kamen Riders today, Sectumsempra, have you heard of it?"

"I know this spell, but I didn't notice it could work." Snape was silent for a moment. "Very good discovery, Potter, I think this should just happen to solve a problem... I will tell you when there are results."

It was a reply, Harry thought. Anyway, he had to play the game first. His mind quickly turned to Luo En—he wasn't injured, but looked exhausted.

Early the next morning, when they were walking toward the auditorium, Harry felt Luo En's spirit was much better. He didn't seem to want to mention yesterday's battle, and he wasn't curious about Zhang Qiu coming to tell the identity of the bat monster at all. Like Harry, Luo En's mind was entirely on the game.

They walked toward the stadium in big strides. Along the way, Jin Ni chattered about the good news she had just heard: "Slytherin's Chaser Vasey was injured during training, they had to change the formation temporarily, Malfoy replaced his position, and the Seeker was changed to Greengrass—"

"Very strange, I changed positions and he followed, too," Harry said. "But that's fine, Edith's pressure will be much smaller. Greengrass has strong observation but poor endurance, you just need to be patient and you can easily defeat her."

"That's really great." Edith said with a full face of smiles.

"You must be careful of her first wave of attacks." Jin Ni said seriously to her, "Don't relax your vigilance before thirty minutes, Greengrass finds the Snitch quite fast, I almost suffered a big loss before."

They came to the stadium outside which was full of noise. On one side of the auditorium was a sea of red and gold, and on the other side was an ocean of green and silver. Many Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws also had their own supported teams. Among these colorful crowds, Harry saw Hermione sitting in the second row at a glance. He hurriedly signaled McLaggen with his mouth.

When McLaggen turned his head, Nicola, who had golden hair, suddenly opened his hands and waved vigorously toward this side, so he narrowed his eyes and looked for a long time before turning around with a big smile.

"Watch me." He said confidently.

Luo En sneered and shook his head. He didn't say much, just pushed Harry, signaling him to go shake hands as soon as possible.

As soon as the whistle blew, Harry and other players rose into the air together. He easily noticed the positions of the two Bludgers, and flew in different directions with Luo En tacitly.

Harry easily surpassed Crabbe and Gao Er. The two of them seemed to be flying around in the air like headless flies. He even suspected that the two of them hadn't found where the Bludgers were at all.

"Control the ball first." Harry exhorted when passing by Luo En.

Luo En gave him an OK gesture. The two of them had trained this move specifically. By landing in advance and hitting the ball for each other, they could ensure that Crabbe and Gao Er couldn't touch the Bludgers at all.

The ball control tactic was quite successful. Harry and Luo En began to hit the Bludgers back and forth like playing tennis, which made Crabbe and Gao Er look even more like two dull melons.

However, dull melons also have the wisdom of dull melons. After they found that they couldn't catch up with the Bludgers, they immediately flew to both sides of Greengrass, and two big bodyguards protected the Seeker and flew straight toward Draco.

Bad, Harry secretly said not good. He was a bit too proud, so that he forgot that Draco was also a Seeker. A flash of gold crossed the clear blue sky, and that was exactly the direction the four snakes were moving forward.

Harry hurriedly flew toward there, and at the same time he noticed that Edith was also rushing toward the direction of the Snitch with all her strength, but she was just a first-grade girl, no matter what, she couldn't squeeze past those two big guys...

Harry's heart was beating wildly. He knew that the current situation was quite unfavorable for Gryffindor, and he had something in his hand that could rival any big guy: a Bludger.

This was the only thing that could reverse the situation. The sneak attack of the snake house was almost successful. This ball must not be missed...

I must hit accurately, and it must be powerful enough...

With intense thoughts, Harry gripped the bat tightly. The Bludger was by his side, ready to be hit at any time, but Edith's position was not good, the support of the Beater could only play a role for a moment...

Patience, wait for the opportunity, Harry suddenly felt he was incomparably calm. All the muscles in his body relaxed, a spiritual sense, a special spirit flowed in his heart, until—

Luo En hit the Bludger beside him in advance. Draco made a dodging movement quickly, and Harry could see that he was pulling his throat to remind Crabbe and Gao Er.

Just this one moment, the best opportunity, Harry felt all his strength concentrated toward his right hand. He swung the bat quickly and hit the Bludger heavily.

The Bludger hit by Harry flew toward the three people chasing the Snitch like a cannonball out of the chamber, with an extremely unreasonable speed, and then hit the tail of Crabbe's broom.

Amazing things appeared. This Bludger directly smashed Crabbe's broom. This ordinary sports equipment hit by Harry's young arms smashed the mature industrial product of the Nimbus company directly with invincible momentum.

When Gao Er saw the broom tail flying in front of him, he seemed to be stunned all at once. Fortunately, Greengrass's reaction was quite fast. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Crabbe's wrist, which avoided him falling directly from the sky.

Gao Er finally came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to help, while Crabbe was still holding the bald broomstick, looking confused.

This hit could almost be called an accident. Even Harry was a bit stunned. He didn't know that hitting the ball could be like this, which made Harry himself feel a bit at a loss.

Following Edith's acceleration to catch the Snitch, this early confrontation led by the fast break sneak attack directly led to the end of the whole game.

"This is incredible, children." Madam Hooch walked toward Harry after landing. "You didn't chant any spells when you hit the ball, right?"

"No, Madam." Harry looked at his hands. "I don't know what happened either."

"And no one tampered with the brooms before the game, right?" She narrowed her eyes and said.

"Impossible!" Draco said. "Our brooms were put under our own beds, and I also chanted anti-theft spells!"

"Then there is only one explanation, Mr. Potter. I think you might have entered some kind of special state just now." Madam Hooch marveled. "Simply, I didn't expect that I could really run into this kind of thing. This has only appeared twice in the history of Quidditch."

"Seems to be the case." Harry felt relieved all at once after hearing that others had also done it. "You said that this kind of thing has also appeared in history?"

"Yes, there was once a Beater nicknamed 'Conan the Barbarian.' The Bludger he hit actually broke the goalpost," Madam Hooch said with a chuckle as she shared the trivia. "People generally believe this is a near-instinctive silent spell, or perhaps a magical outburst. It's very rare, but not entirely impossible."

After the brief shock and loss, the Gryffindor players began to cheer. They hugged each other and walked toward the locker room with their hands linked.

Harry and Luo En lingered, wanting to enjoy this jubilant atmosphere for a while longer. They were almost the last to leave, because McLaggen looked even more lingering.

When they pulled the door of the locker room, Harry was a bit surprised to find Zhang Qiu standing at the door. Of course, just one Zhang Qiu wouldn't cause his surprise. What really made him surprised was that there was also a Marietta on the side.

"I won't talk about the Rider matter at this great time." Zhang Qiu shrugged. "I'm looking for you mainly because Marietta said she has fallen in love with Cormac a bit, she wants to ask you to help introduce them."

"Ah, is that so?" Harry said with a guilty conscience. He tried hard to pretend that this was the first time he heard about this matter. "He, but he seems to like Hermione."

"Hermione might like him, but it's unlikely Hermione likes him." Marietta probed.

"Hermione might like him, but it's unlikely Hermione likes him." Zhang Qiu sneered.

"Shh!" Harry held up a finger. "Cormac is still inside!"

"Ah? I thought he left." Zhang Qiu lowered her voice. "I saw Hermione leave in a hurry, and thought it was because of him..."

"What's the matter? What's wrong?" The door suddenly opened. McLaggen's cloudy face squeezed out a fake smile. "I heard someone seemed to be saying my name."

"Ah, yes," Marietta blushed suddenly. "It was me who was saying, you played great today, very handsome."

After a burst of distortion on McLaggen's face, the fake smile turned into a real smile, and then his tone also became high-spirited from the heart.

"Is that so? But this is not my best level." He leaned against the door frame. "The game that makes me feel most satisfied is always the next one."

"Harry, Luo En, you two come with me, I have very serious business to say." Zhang Qiu suddenly pulled the two of them, and Harry and Luo En also followed her toward one side cooperatively.

"That's not Night Rogue, that's Kiva, he uses the same complete Rider system." Zhang Qiu said worriedly. "And according to my uncle's speculation, his strength is strong, and it might be related to vampires."

"No, you really have serious business to say..." Luo En's originally smiling face collapsed all at once. ===== CHAPTER 399 =====
