Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 83 He must be open

Byrne didn't mean it.

How could a sunny and cheerful boy hit Professor Quirrell with a bludger in the face?
Even if he had to hit him, he would hit Quirrell on the back of the head. Isn't this more meaningful than a slap in the face?

It's simply that the ball wants to show its loyalty too much. There is no other explanation, and there is no need to explain more.

But Quirrell was still furious.

From the swamp dig that was eaten, to the inexplicable roaring letter he received; from stopping the biting cabbage from attacking Harry Potter, to violently expelling the troll he brought back with great effort...

One after another, one by one, these things that Bourne did are really in line with the saying: you don't drink when the leader toasts, and you turn the table when the boss picks up the food.

"You just want to fight with me?"

The more you endure for a while, the more you lose. The more you think about it, the more angry you become. Coupled with the uproar caused by Lee Jordan's "Professor Quirrell plus five points", the two-faced professor's nose was almost crooked with anger.

He wanted to take out his wand on the spot and shoot Avada Kedavra at this unfortunate child.

As Voldemort possessed him for a long time, although he did not realize it yet, Quirrell's mental state became increasingly unstable.

Fortunately, when Quirrell was about to reveal his true nature in front of almost all the young wizards at Hogwarts, someone gave him an "enlightenment" in time.

"idiot!"

Familiar voices, familiar words, and Voldemort, who was so familiar with him that they shared the same body, stopped Quirrell's actions in time.

"Snape is sitting behind you. If you dare to cast a death curse on a little wizard, you will turn into eight petals in the next second."

In an instant, Quirrell calmed down.

"Remember what I said - rabbit hole - to create more chaos, that's what you should be doing right now!"

"Yes, yes, my great master." Quirrell returned to his former appearance and replied timidly in his mind.
-
Because of Marcus Flint's dismissal, the Slytherin team replaced a substitute Chaser, but no one could replace the two missing batters.

The Slytherin team had lost.

As long as the audience can use their eyes, it is not difficult to see this, and the problematic words cannot be said like this. Especially if that person was in the stands on the Slytherin side.

However, although a brain is a good thing, some people may really not have one.

"Damn it, I lost this one!"

Crabbe, one of Malfoy's two followers, made a fist with his right hand and punched his left hand hard, making a "pop" sound.

"Flint was talking a lot about it two days ago. Before the game, I overpowered them to win! 20 Silver Sickles, just gone."

However, before he could finish complaining, the palm of Professor Snape sitting next to him made close contact with the back of the child's head.

It's also a "pop" sound.

"Go to my office after the game and deal with a bucket of horned toads," Snape said coldly: "This is the punishment for the little wizard's participation in gambling!"

Crabbe wanted to argue: "But Professor, this bet was started by the Weasley twins. I'm so sorry..."

Draco quickly covered Crabbe's mouth to prevent him from continuing to talk nonsense. The little wizard would have been punished for participating in gambling activities. If you participate in a bet set up by Gryffindor and end up being cheated, then the result will be a double penalty.

However, just like 'pressing down the gourd makes the gourd rise', little fat Gower actually said: "Crabbe is right."

Draco felt a little tired.

"The three of you," Professor Snape snorted, "will go to my office to deal with the horned toads in a moment, one for each bucket."

Unlike the atmosphere in the Slytherin auditorium where men were silent and women were in tears, the little wizards who supported Gryffindor were simply over the moon.

Three minutes, only three minutes!

Against the Slytherin team, the Gryffindor team had never secured a victory so quickly before. This game was destined to be recorded in the history of Hogwarts, and everyone present was a witness to this event.

When I talk about this game with other people in the future, they can all proudly claim: I watched it live!

When players compete against each other in sports competitions, in addition to their training level, their momentum is also a key factor in determining victory or defeat.

Gryffindor can be said to be in full swing at this time.

Even though his dazzling performance that blinded everyone attracted the attention of the referee Mrs. Hooch, Bourne was unable to use the "free throws using the rules" and "using the Quaffle loop" that Wood taught him. Special skills such as "drawing a foul", "flying side by side and elbowing the referee behind the back"...

But aren't there other players on the Gryffindor team?

Under the influence of the momentum, the three female Gryffindor chasers known as the "Three Roses" directly gave up the temptation to pass the ball. They very simply adopted the "Parkin's Pliers" and "Tran" tactics. Hard-hitting tactics such as "Sylvania's Feint" and "Eagle Head Offensive Formation".

Because Slytherin no longer has a batter, the Chaser's attack can only be dealt with by the Chaser and the Keeper.

However, although in order not to be penalized and not to fight with the opponent's players, the "three-speed" bat in Bourne's hand is not a fire stick, is it?
The Bludger, which had already proven its loyalty, would fly to the "triple speed" and wait for it again every time Bourne raised his arm, just like a yo-yo pulled by a rope.

With each hit, the Bludger would get closer to Slytherin's Chasers and Keepers, leaving holes in their defenses against Gryffindor's Chasers.

That can't even be called a loophole - after a few minutes, even goalkeeper Wood couldn't sit still and rode his broom directly to the frontcourt to join this feast called "scoring" - from the beginning of the game to now, there is still In less than 20 minutes, Gryffindor scored a full 120 points!
If this situation continues, within a few minutes, even if Slytherin's Seeker catches the Golden Snitch first, Gryffindor will still win with a total score advantage.

Lee Jordan, who was in the commentary box, kept making witty remarks like a eloquent tongue, and his voice was almost hoarse with excitement.

"I protest!" Snape couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to protest. As their dean did this, the little snakes in the Slytherin stands also stood up and protested and dissatisfied with the referee.

"Examine the Gryffindor beater!"

"I bet he opened it!"

"Only colored pens can cheat!" "Cheating is a moment of fun, and the whole family is in the crematorium!"

Their target was pointed at Bourne, and the reason was very practical: If there were no problems with the Bludger and bat, how could they take the initiative to deliver them to Bourne every time?

They suspected that the Gryffindor team had either secretly cast a "flying curse" or a "confusion curse" on the Bludger, or that Bourne's bat had some other magic.

In the Gryffindor auditorium opposite, many young wizards also stood up and accused Slytherin's little snake of not wanting a Bilian.

What Slytherin is doing now is not even to stop the game, but to use public opinion to temporarily take Bourne off the field for inspection.

During the inspection, the Slytherin Quidditch team lost a huge threat and might be able to counterattack and regain a city.

This was one of the early rule loopholes in Quidditch, and teams throughout history have exploited this protest tactic. But today, in regular Quidditch matches, any team that wants to save face will not do this.

"A toad pretends to be a little frog, and looks ugly just for fun. Do you want some shame?"

"You guys are so full of shit, what do you think? Don't pay attention to them!"

"It's fun to cheat for a while, but it keeps cheating..."

(The person who was speaking was pressed down by the other little lions at the speed of light, using physical methods to make his mind clearer.)
All in all, just like a Muggle football match, the supporters of both sides of this Quidditch match started by shouting at each other, and gradually the smell of gunpowder became stronger. Some young wizards could not help but take out their wands...

Seeing that a good game is about to turn into a beautiful landscape with British characteristics, the professor in the audience can no longer sit back and watch its development.

Professor McGonagall stood up and ordered all the young wizards to sit down with a loud spell, and then glanced at Professor Snape who also stood up.

"What is clear will become clear, and what is dirty will become clear." Professor McGonagall said: "I believe that after Mrs. Hooch's examination, Gryffindor's batter Bourne can prove his innocence."

The reason why she decided this way was mainly due to two considerations:

First, the Dean of Slytherin and his students are obsessed with saving face. Now that they have gained the upper hand in the competition, it is not easy to slap them in the face;
Secondly, after all, Gryffindor is already so many points ahead, and she also has confidence in Harry Potter's flying talent. She firmly believes that this first-year wizard who was specially recruited into the Quidditch team can catch the gold first. Snitch.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if Slytherin's [Protest Tactics] succeeds. Absolute strength is the real guarantee of victory.

With the instructions of the vice-principal, Mrs. Huo Qi also asked Bourne to come off the field for inspection, and the game will continue.

"Keep attacking! For Gryffindor!" Wood raised his arms and shouted on the field.

The Gryffindor Quidditch captain, who is known for his tenacity, did not seem to want to return to the goal to defend even when Bourne was temporarily forced off the field.

All he could think about now was offense. Only offense could wipe out their anger. Only offense could defend Gryffindor's honor.

"Everyone, work harder!" Fred, the only batter left on the field (counting both sides), shouted loudly: "Kill these Slytherins and I'll clear the way for you!"
-
Seekers usually hover at the highest point of the Quidditch pitch. This position is the best for overlooking the overall situation.

Harry Potter, who was riding Nimbus 2000, and Terrence Higgs, who was riding a six-star sweep, were staring at each other while also paying attention to the situation on the field.

Higgs is a third-year student, in the same year as the Weasley twins. He has been the Seeker of the Slytherin team since last year.

Compared to Harry, he undoubtedly had more experience: the noise on the field had an almost negligible impact on his emotions - this guy secretly stuffed two marshmallows in his ears - and he even deliberately didn't Look at the numbers displayed on the huge, magical scoreboard at the top of the auditorium.

As Seeker, and not captain, Higgs felt his only job was to catch the Snitch as quickly as possible.

Harry was different. He heard the noise off the field from the beginning and was happy that Gryffindor had gained the score advantage in about 20 minutes. Then, he was also angry when Bourne was protested and was taken off the field for inspection. Unfair.

And it was precisely because of this distraction that he let Higgs take the lead and discovered the invisible figure of the Golden Snitch.

The Golden Snitch, not much bigger than a bee, flashed past the eyes of the two Seekers. Higgs reached out and grabbed the alchemy tool that was modeled after the Snitch.

It's a pity that although his fingertips touched the golden snitch for a moment, he missed it in the end.

His arsenic is mine honey. Higgs's mistake was undoubtedly an opportunity for Porter like "Merlin appeared."

Harry's Nimbus 2000 accelerated instantly, and he chased after the Golden Snitch who flew away from Higgs. Higgs also immediately turned around to sweep six stars, crowded together with Harry, and chased the Golden Snitch side by side.

Lee Jordan on the commentary desk didn't care to continue to criticize the Slytherin team for being shameless at this time. He held a telescope in one hand and raised the microphone to his mouth. He observed the two people flying at high speed in the air while talking. He was explaining quickly as if he didn't touch his lips.

"Higgs didn't seize the opportunity and missed the Golden Snitch. I can only praise him with a 'well done'..."

"Jordan!" Professor McGonagall reminded.

"...Ahem, Harry is flying parallel to Higgs now. The two are waving their arms at each other, scaring each other to attack each other's nose. This is a classic trick in the 'Transylvania Feint' .

Harry be careful! Don't actually hit it, as that will result in a penalty; more importantly, you have to be careful not to get hit by Higgs.

Sure enough, Nimbus 2000 performed better in straight-line acceleration than Sweep Six. The Golden Snitch was flying in a straight line, and Harry caught the Golden Snitch first..."

Before he could finish his words, the Nimbus 2000 that Harry was riding suddenly started to "jump and squirt" as it flew forward, like a car breaking into gear.

Fortunately, he grabbed the broomstick in time and was not thrown from the sky by the flying broomstick like a sick bull.

Seeing this, Higgs quickly made Sweep Six Star speed up instantly. He wanted to take the opportunity to catch the Golden Snitch first.

However, his sweeping six-star was just half the height of Harry who was parallel to him. Harry's broom began to spin rapidly like a top, and accidentally hit Higgs.

"what……"

After being hit on the shoulder by Nimbus 2000's broomstick, Higgs let out a scream, covered his arm and fell from the Sweep Six Star.

At this time, the two seekers were almost 20 stories above the ground. If it fell to the ground, even if the ground was soft sand, Higgs would lose his life.

As the referee, Ms. Huo Qi naturally did not care to check Bourne at this time. She rushed towards the falling Higgs with a "swish" on her broomstick.

It's important to save people!
