Chapter 56: The Perverted Quirrell
The Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff almost focused the attention of the entire Hogwarts.
On the one hand, in the last game between Gryffindor and Slytherin, Harry's performance and the accidents that occurred at that time were too contagious. They were passed around among the various houses, making it difficult for them to do so.
The performance of the Gryffindor team attracted the interest of many young wizards.
On the other hand, thanks to Dean Snape's "unremitting efforts", Slytherin has won the Hogwarts House Cup for seven consecutive years. Other houses have already been holding back their efforts and want to win this year's House Cup.
Slytherin was dethroned as house champion.
So now the Gryffindor team's game, which has the highest score among the four teams, is very important.
Because the Quidditch game is based on points, some people even encourage the Hufflepuff team and Gryffindor to set points together, so that the points can reach a level that is beyond the reach of the Slytherin team. In this way, no one can win the championship.
The Slytherin House that won the Dizzy Cup also has less possibility of winning the House Cup.
Of course, this immoral idea was rejected by the upright captain of the Hufflepuff team.
On the day of the Quidditch match, almost everyone in Hogwarts poured out of the castle gate and walked toward the Quidditch pitch.
The interior of Hogwarts Castle became empty and deserted. No one passed by in the corridors that were originally crowded with people for a long time. Only the torches hanging on the walls were burning persistently.
No one noticed that a figure wearing a purple headscarf sneakily walked out of the office, passed through the deserted corridor, arrived at the third floor of Hogwarts Castle, and then sneaked into an abandoned girls' bathroom.
among.
…
The Quidditch pitch was buzzing with people, with countless yellow and red flags waving, cheering for their respective teams.
Outside the Gryffindor team's dressing room, Ron and Hermione were wishing Harry good luck.
Harry sighed secretly, knowing that his two friends were actually secretly worried about him, worried that they would never see him come back alive again.
In his wild thoughts, Harry put on a gold and red Quidditch jersey, picked up the Nimbus 2000 given to him by Professor McGonagall, stood in the team, and listened to Wood's pre-war mobilization.
But he was too distracted to hear anything.
Seeing Harry's distracted state, Wood pulled him aside.
"I don't want to put pressure on you, Potter, but today more than ever we need to catch the Snitch as soon as possible. We need to do it quickly and not give Snape time to favor Hufflepuff too much." Wood patted hard.
Patting him on the shoulder, "Don't worry about safety issues, Fred and George invited Professor Dracula. He will definitely save you like last time!"
Harry grinned stiffly, feeling like he would definitely fall off the broom...
"All the students in the school have come out!" At this time, Fred peeked out of the door and exclaimed, "Even... my God! Dumbledore is here to watch the game!"
Harry's heart twitched violently.
"Dumbledore?" he said and rushed to the door quickly, wanting to confirm it with his own eyes.
Fred was right, there was no other person besides Dumbledore with that long white beard.
Harry saw that Dumbledore was sitting in the sunshine on the west side of the Quidditch pitch, waving cheerfully to the students below the pitch; while Professor Dracula was sitting in the shadow of the backlight on the east side, seeming to have something to say in his mouth.
Holding a lollipop in his mouth, he looked impatient.
Harry felt relieved all of a sudden, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
He knew he was in no danger.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, Snape as a referee had indeed given him a lot of psychological security. If Snape was not safe enough, the arrival of Dumbledore and Professor Dracula was more like giving him a sense of psychological security.
He injected a shot of cardiotonic and was completely relieved.
'If such a luxurious lineup can make him fall off his broom, then Hogwarts will be regarded as the safest place in the world!'
Harry thought this as he stepped onto the Quidditch pitch with confidence and waved happily to the spectators around him.
The game has begun.
However, what Harry didn't expect was that as soon as the game started, the situation on the court was already unfavorable to Gryffindor——
Snape blew the whistle first, then stopped acting, and began to award penalty kicks to the Hufflepuff team on a large scale, frequently and without reason.
Fred and George raised their hands to protest to Snape on the spot, and then he awarded Hufflepuff a penalty for contradicting the referee.
Thanks to Snape's diligent efforts, the score between the two teams quickly opened up.
"Harry, you have to hold on tight!" Wood shouted to Harry nervously.
Hearing the captain's urging, Harry felt helpless. The good impression he had just had towards Snape disappeared without a trace.
Just when he was anxious, his glasses suddenly reflected a little golden light.
Harry's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly made a beautiful dive, crashing straight into Snape.
The audience burst into exclamations and cheers, and Lee Jordan, the commentator, shouted for Harry to run into it and teach the old bat a lesson!
Snape showed a disdainful smile, turned around on his broomstick and looked at Harry, ready to give him a red card.
Then he saw a golden thing whizzing past his ear, only a few inches away from him!
Immediately afterwards, Harry stopped his dive and raised his arms in victory.
There was a golden snitch held tightly in his hand.
Snape looked at this scene in astonishment, forgetting even his duty as a referee to blow the whistle.
"Sh-sh-sh-"
Three final whistles were blown, and Ms. Hooch flew up on her broom and glared at Snape fiercely.
Obviously, she deeply regretted giving up the referee's position to Snape.
Harry jumped off his broomstick a foot above the ground. He couldn't believe he had made it - and the game even lasted less than five minutes!
Most of the little wizards didn't realize what happened before the game was over. Except for Gryffindor who cheered, students from other houses left the Quidditch pitch with constipated faces and walked towards Hogwarts Castle.
go.
Sitting in the auditorium and waiting longer than the game time, all they want to say now is:
"rnm, refund the money!"
…
In the girls' bathroom on the third floor of Hogwarts, before Quirrell had time to explore the surrounding environment, footsteps could be heard one after another.
He poked his head out of the bathroom in surprise, and then heard a scream:
"Perverted-"
…
