Chapter 988 Malfoy Who Wants to Become a Golden Snitch
Compared with Slytherin's rookies, Gryffindor's problem is mainly the absence of players.
After Captain Angelina and the twins left the team, the cubs became an optimistic family.
Optimistic, they insisted that, under Harry's leadership, let's fight for No.2, not to mention entering the finals, isn't that okay?
But by coincidence, Katie was injured at this time.
She won't be leaving the hospital anytime soon, which means that the Gryffindor Quidditch team is missing a Chaser.
He has played for six years and has rich experience. He can be called the ballast stone of the locker room.
Harry, the new captain, felt that it was too difficult for him.
He didn't want to find someone to replace Katie, and wanted to wait for her to come back, but he asked William and got a bad news:
Katie is out for nine to [-] weeks and won't return until at least after Christmas.
In such a difficult situation, Harry really wanted to get sick and ask for leave.Like a groin strain.
As the first game approached, he finally had to accept that Katie couldn't come back after several proddings from Professor McGonagall.
So here comes the question, under temporary circumstances, who is going to be the one who takes the blame... Ah bah, the Chaser? !
Harry was so anxious that his mouth was foaming every day. He didn't want to lose his first game as captain.
Still lost to Slytherin!
After a wave of repeated considerations, Harry decided to choose his roommate Dean to join the team and temporarily serve as the Chaser.
This is undoubtedly a controversial choice, especially if you let your roommate join the team without a second selection.
Kind of like a py transaction.
For a while, there were rumors at Hogwarts that Potter liked Dean and wanted to play couples Quidditch.
It would be fine if the pressure from the public opinion was too great, Harry also offended another roommate, Seamus, and his best friend, Ron, at the same time.
Needless to say, Seamo, he and Dean participated in the selection of the Chaser and were brushed off at the same time.
Although I felt uncomfortable at first, I can accept it if one piece is brushed.
The two also had a comfort meal, and when they returned to the dormitory at night, Simo was still comforting Dean on the bed, so that he would not be too sad.
And then... Dean was over-recorded.
How can Seamus accept this? !
Worst of all was Ron.
He thought he was injured, so he didn't choose the goalkeeper, otherwise McLaggen would never have a chance to play.
Now there is a lack of a Chaser. Although he has never played this position, his family is all Quidditch masters.
With such a family background, even if we have never eaten dragon meat, we have seen Long Fei, right?
Isn't it better than those stinky fish and rotten shrimp?
Ron regarded himself as the Almighty Pentagon, and when Harry found him, he patted his shoulder and asked:
"Hey, Ron, would you like to play Brothers Quidditch with me?"
Ron waited during the day, waited at night, waited in class, waited after class... Unexpectedly, Harry chose Dean in the end!
What hurt Ron the most was that, because of his close relationship with Harry, people outside called them the "tie two".
Harry didn't choose him... This friend can't be done!
Harry, who was involved, was also in pain.
In the past, he would only see Dean and Ginny show off their affection during meals, but now they even showed it during training.
His scalp was numb and he felt like he was losing his hair.
He suddenly understood why Professor Snape didn't like to wash his hair anymore.
Hadn't he also been shown affection by a dog?
However, Gryffindor soon ushered in good news.
Slytherin Chaser Vasai was hit in the head by a Bludger during a training match and had to miss two weeks.
Most importantly, Malfoy also took sick leave.
The originally clear situation became complicated again, no wonder the two teams were scolded as the end of the game.
……
……
on Saturday,
The opener has finally begun.
Early in the morning, the arena was full of voices, and the stands were full of students.
The host was also replaced by a tall, thin boy with yellow hair and a flat nose.
The moderator is Zacharias Smith of Hufflepuff, but he is only acting temporarily.
This position is not easy to find... you have to be able to control the field, understand the slang, have passion, and be impartial when commenting.
Most importantly, you need to be able to chat awkwardly.
Once there was a game that was suspended for four hours.
It was relying on the host to have awkward chats over and over again, even talking about his bed-wetting when he was a child, to survive the scene.
As for Li, apart from being biased when explaining, he likes to earn extra money, advertises for people, likes to swear, he can also set the rhythm, and engage in player mentality... In addition, he is also a great host.
This semester, Professor McGonagall also interviewed many students for this position.
Smith just came to host a meeting, as an investigation.
Holding the magic microphone, he shouted:
"I think everybody's going to be relieved to see the team that Porter put together this term.
Goalkeeper Ron Weasley performed poorly last term, and his various classic dinner operations are still fresh in our memory.
Now finally kicked out by Potter.
I thought that he could rely on his close personal relationship with the captain to enter the team.
Although he's been saying that all the time recently, saying that he and Potter wear a pair of underwear.
But obviously, Potter is still sensible..."
This remark earned both jeers and applause from the Slytherins at the other end of the pitch.
Harry glared at Smith too, and tried to throw the Quaffle in his face.
Smith raised his hands and cheered, "Malfoy from Slytherin has also asked for leave, and it is said that he has an upset stomach.
But I think his leave is a very wise choice.
Because a technical data shows that:
In the three years he played against Porter, he only won nine games in 27 games. It can be said that he is Porter's own son.
Of course, Malfoy had an exaggerated total defeat against Ravenclaw led by Stark.
Malfoy is completely a series of Stark's grandchildren, and I would like to call him a 'history' phobia! "
All the students burst out laughing.
Professor McGonagall frowned, this Smith had already been passed by her.
But who is the next candidate?
Well, it's Luna Lovegood... which doesn't look too plausible.
The students were still laughing, and Mrs. Hooch had released the Quaffle.
"The captains of the two sides shake hands and ride on the broom. Listen to my whistle... three... two... one..."
As soon as the whistle sounded, all the players kicked hard on the frozen ground and rose into the air.
……
……
The hallway on the eighth floor,
Listening to the host's words, Malfoy was surprisingly not angry.
Perhaps he was afraid of being discovered, or because the sun was too glaring, he quietly leaned against the wall next to the window, watching the Quidditch match secretly.
How he wishes that now he can ride a broomstick and fly freely on the field, like a bird.
Instead of being like a mouse that fell into a snake's den like it is now, it is in danger of being swallowed at any time.
but……
Can not go back.
He clenched his left arm tightly.
When he was branded with the Dark Mark by the Dark Lord that day and became a Death Eater, he knew...
I can't go back to the carefree life I used to have.
Malfoy felt that cowardly tear flow down the corner of his eye again.
He hated it, but didn't wipe it off.
Because only when there is no one around, he is not afraid of revealing his feelings, and he can cry when he wants to!
To kill Dumbledore and Stark... The Dark Lord gave him an unsolvable task.
Want to send him to die!
But what can he do? !
If he didn't agree, if he didn't become a Death Eater, his mother might have died in Malfoy Manor that day.
Malfoy doesn't want to be a good guy, but he doesn't want to be a total bad guy either.
He just wants to be a heartless dandy, a young master of the Malfoy family, who has nothing to do to tease Potter, and then send money to the Akali store...
But in front of the Dark Lord, he had no choice at all!
Malfoy clenched his teeth, cold tears fell into his mouth.
He wept bitterly, begging helplessly:
"Merlin, turn me into a golden snitch, fly as far as possible..."
At this moment, a hand reached out and patted his left arm lightly.
That's where the Dark Mark is.
A mellow, familiar voice rang in my ears:
"Draco, even if you become a golden snitch, sooner or later you will be caught by the Seeker, and you won't be able to escape..."
At this moment, Malfoy's lips trembled and his whole body stiffened.
