77. The end of the game
The Quidditch game looks like it is about to enter the final showdown. Harry and Malfoy have become the focus of the entire game. With the score gap less than 150 points, whoever can catch the Golden Snitch in advance will win. Own college's team wins the game.
It was already nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, and the biting cold wind and hungry and thirsty bodies could not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience on the field. They excitedly cheered for the teams they supported.
In such a scene, there is one person who seems extra out of place.His eyes were not focused on the fierce competition field at all. Instead, he was staring at the teacher's bench and walked over quickly.If the game was not so intense, someone would have noticed his strange behavior, but now everyone was attracted by the intense game, and no one noticed his strange behavior.
In fact, Magos was quite confused. He didn't understand why Snape didn't notice Quirrell's little moves since he had already suspected him, and could only passively use counter-curses to offset them every time.
But when he walked to the stands and saw Snape, he understood. It wasn't that Snape didn't want to catch Quirrell's little moves, but that he couldn't do anything because all the professors and staff present were watching the game attentively. No one except him would have the idea that the professor would be harmful to the students, so no one would notice Quirrell's actions and stop him. However, Snape, the only one who had this idea, had to concentrate on casting the counter-curse and had no chance to look back. Seeing Quirrell's actions, Magos felt that without Snape's counter-curse, Harry's broom or Malfoy's broom might have been completely controlled the moment it was touched by Quirrell's curse, instead of They could barely sit on it.
Magos did not directly stop Quirrell's movements. There was only one chance to directly stop him. He wanted to see what he was controlling this time, otherwise if he just muttered to himself, he would want to rush directly. It wasn't possible in the past.
Looking up at the field, the Slytherin batters and the Gryffindor batters both realized that the outcome of this game was in whose hands, and they were faintly scattered around Harry and Malfoy to prevent them from wandering. Balls and Quaffles hit them.
Due to the distance, he didn't know if they had discovered the Golden Snitch again. He could only see the two of them chasing the same direction as fast as two lightning bolts.They didn't seem to be controlled by the curse at all. Magos quickly turned his attention to the others, but the others showed no signs of being under control.
"Is he really just mumbling to himself?" He shook his head, feeling that it was impossible. There must be something he had overlooked. He looked carefully at the movements on the field, but found nothing. He continued without giving up. After looking at it for a long time, I didn't find anything wrong.
At this moment, McGoose saw the Gryffindor batter knocking away the Bludger flying towards them.His head suddenly turned around, and he patted his thigh hard. Quirrell was controlling the ball this time.
However, there are three balls in Quidditch, a Quaffle, a Bludger, and a Golden Snitch. The Golden Snitch should be impossible to control, but the other two balls are possible. Logically speaking, the Quaffle is the easiest to control. , but it has always been the target of the chaser. If it flies towards Harry suddenly, it will easily arouse suspicion. The Bludger itself is magical and difficult to control, but the advantage is that it can fly everywhere. Hitting someone is very common in Quidditch matches and will not arouse others' suspicion. It is possible for both balls, which makes Magos feel entangled.
He originally thought that he could interrupt Quirrell's curse by standing in front of him, but what if the ball was not in his blocked sight or the ball he controlled randomly turned a corner? He had to know which one he was controlling. The easiest way is to follow his gaze and look at the ball. It must be the one he controls. But this time he is much smarter. Both balls are within his sight and cannot be distinguished at all. Moreover, he is The delay in taking action for the first time must be because he was looking for an opportunity to hit the target. If he found the opportunity, it would be too late to stop him.
There was no point in being anxious. He thought that the one he had to deal with would be Harry anyway. All he had to do was keep an eye on Harry. When the time came, whichever ball he got close to would be determined to be under his control.
As time goes by, the scores of both sides are getting higher and higher, but Slytherin can never surpass Gryffindor's 150 points. The focus of the game is destined to fall on the two newcomers participating in the game for the first time.
"Coming." After watching for a while, Magos secretly shouted. Harry and Malfoy gradually approached the range of the Quaffle and Bludger. The Bludger suddenly turned a corner and got much closer to Harry and the others.
"That's it, the Bludger." Magos thought he had found the ball controlled by Quirrell, and immediately ran to Quirrell and the Bludger.
Move the ball to the middle.
"Professor Snape, what do you want from me?" He blocked Quirrell's sight and patted Snape's shoulder.
Quirrell didn't expect that someone would suddenly stand in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, then twisted his neck slightly, and there was no anger on his face that he was interrupted.Magos didn't notice this as his back was turned to him.Otherwise he will know that he guessed wrong.
Snape turned around and saw Magos stunned. When did he call him?But he didn't say anything, and quickly turned around to continue reciting the counter-curse, but it was too late.
When Harry chased the Golden Snitch to the center of the field, the Quaffle slightly changed its angle and was hit by Gryffindor's chaser, and then flew in the direction of Malfoy and Harry. Slater Lin's batter was probably afraid that it would affect Malfoy, so he flew over and tried to hit the ball to the Chaser on his side. However, the Quaffle moved slightly, and Slytherin's batter did not hit it completely. He hit it, just a little bit. With this small gap, it seemed to others that the Slytherin batter made a mistake. Not only did he miss the Quaffle, but he also hit the Quaffle twice hard. direction of the seeker.
At the moment when no one could react, the Quaffle hit Harry's body, sending him flying out of his broomstick and falling downwards at a very fast speed. Even Mrs. Hooch didn't react to this. Waiting for her When she reacted and tried to save Harry, it was already too late, she was too far away from him.
Snape turned around and glared at Magos. Magos was dumbfounded at this time. He didn't expect that he guessed wrong. The result of his mistake was that not only did he fail to disturb Quirrell, but on the contrary, he also disturbed Snape. Nep makes Quirrell perfect his plan.He was a little stiff and wanted to look back at Quirrell's expression, but in the face of Snape's glare he could only show an expression of regret.
He didn't dare to go to the stadium. Because he interfered with Snape's counter-spell, Harry might suffer more injuries than Quirrell expected.Hearing the exclamations in his ears and looking at Snape's eyes that seemed to be on fire, he didn't know what to say or what to do, so he could only stand here in a daze.
Harry couldn't concentrate on recalling his broomstick due to the severe pain of the impact, and could only let himself fall downwards. He was afraid, he was terrified, but he was powerless. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the ground, he would want to lift himself Unable to hit the ground from another angle, he clenched the Golden Snitch in his hand and closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the severe pain to come.
Malfoy was startled by the sudden flying Quaffle, but he felt lucky that it didn't hit him. However, the next second he saw Harry being knocked out of the broomstick and falling downwards at a very fast speed. He thought of the scene where Harry saved him just now, and flew towards Harry without thinking, but he was just a little bit short of catching him. Seeing that Harry was about to hit the ground, he turned the broom around violently. Throwing himself away, he crashed into Harry.
"Touch." There was a muffled sound.Harry and Malfoy landed on the ground at the same time. Everyone stood up and looked worriedly at the two people lying motionless on the ground.Mrs. Huo Qi rushed over quickly and helped the two of them.Madam Pomfrey also ran over nervously to see if they were injured.
They slowly opened their eyes and took a breath.Harry suddenly raised his hands.Let go of the golden snitch in your hand.
Mrs. Huo Qi blew her silver whistle hard.
"The game is over, Gryffindor wins!"
"Roar..." The whole audience was excited. They had never seen such a thrilling game. All the students crowded on the edge of the stands and looked at the two people on the lawn, wanting to rush over immediately.
Dumbledore slowly floated the stands back to the ground, and Hermione, Ron, and the others rushed towards Harry and the others.
"Come to my office later." Snape said this coldly and left, leaving Magos behind who was soaked in sweat.
"Mr. Will, were you under the stands just now?" Quirrell walked up to him and said with a half-smile.
Magos looked at him stupidly, "Professor Quirrell, what did you say?"
"No, it's nothing, Mr. Will, look, it doesn't look good." Quirrell returned to his stammering state.
"I'm fine, thank you, Professor. I'm going to see how Harry and Malfoy are doing." McGoss didn't have the energy to care about him at this time. He stood up with difficulty and ran slowly towards the center of the crowd.
"Magos Will, I hope that wand is not yours." Quirrell looked at Magos running away and whispered in a low voice.
It was already nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, and the biting cold wind and hungry and thirsty bodies could not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience on the field. They excitedly cheered for the teams they supported.
