The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 207 Is it worth it?

The cheers of Slytherin and the dissatisfaction of Gryffindor below the field formed a sharp contrast. Gryffindor on the field could hardly move, while Slytherin successfully reversed the score.

Slytherin players are generally strong boys, while Gryffindor's chasers are three girls. When there are boys on the left and right, they can attack and pull through exquisite coordination and finally score points.

But when Slytherin resorted to despicable means against them, using nasty fouls and fists, their offense went wrong and even holding the ball became difficult, let alone scoring a goal.

Other Slytherin members would block the referee's vision, which meant that Gryffindor couldn't even get a free throw, and the situation began to tilt towards Slytherin.

The Slytherins in the stands cheered and celebrated wildly, as if they had already won the Quidditch Cup.

But they forgot that Ada was on the court today, and Ada would not watch them bully her teammates like this.

Ada doesn't have a wand in her hand, but not having a wand doesn't mean that Ada can't cast spells. She is not one of those people who can't do anything without a wand.

These people were described as trash by Grindelwald, but Ada was not trash.

Controlling the Sweeping Seven Stars, Aida directly crashed into Mengtai who was advancing with the ball. When she and Mengtai had physical contact, Mengtai could only crash into the protective shield formed by Aida's magic power, while Aida's raised elbow directly hit Mengtai's brow.

Monta's face instantly became the same as Wood's before, but Ada did not let him go. Ada pushed with her hand, and the magic power vented from her hand, and Monta was pushed far away while spinning. If he had not held his flying broom tightly, he would have kissed the ground by now.

Although Madam Hooch stopped the game, she didn't see what happened. Ada was very discreet, and Fred and George were also covering for her. The two brothers stood between Ada and Madam Hooch, so that Madam Hooch could not see what Ada did.

Treat others in their own way.

Ada was never a pushover, she thought she was being gentle. If this happened on the ground, Ada would let them know what cruelty was.

As Montague came off the field to treat the wound, Slytherin's counterattack came to a halt. This was Ada's revenge as well as her warning, and the Slytherin team members knew it well.

Flint looked at the culprit Ada, and was so angry that he was shaking all over. It was not that Flint did not hit Ada, but the skinny Ada was not hurt at all under his impact, and he almost lost his balance. Flint looked at Higgs in his team again. How did he hit Ada just now? Is he worse than this pretty boy Higgs?
Flint had no idea that when Higgs and Ada had a physical confrontation, Ada did not cheat, but actually used her body to confront Higgs. Naturally, her small body could not knock Higgs down.

But when colliding with Flint and Montague, Ada used wandless spellcasting, so there was no way they could be knocked down.

The confrontation with Higgs was within a reasonable range. Ada's pride would not allow her to do something that violated sports ethics. It was just that she was not as skilled as the other person.

When confronting people like Flint and Montague, Ada had no worries at all. She was as ruthless as possible, with the goal of knocking them off their brooms to prevent them from hurting their teammates.

Evil will be punished by evil, and Ada is the evil one in the Gryffindor team. If there is a lifetime ban, these Slytherin people and Ada, no one can escape the punishment of lifetime ban.

The game is still going on. Although Ada will participate in the defense and take revenge on Slytherin, she has not forgotten her duty. She has been keeping an eye on the Golden Snitch. Only by catching the Golden Snitch can this dirty game end.

After recovering from his injury, Meng Tai became much more honest and his movements became cleaner. Meng Tai found that he was just playing basketball and fighting at the same time, while Drizzt on the opposite side was fighting and playing basketball at the same time. He couldn't afford to offend him.

This dirty but crucial game is still going on, but this game that can be regarded as torture for both players is about to end, because Ada and Higgs both found the golden snitch. The golden snitch flew across the court at high speed, leaving a golden afterimage. Higgs was the first to find the snitch, followed by Ada.

George predicted Higgs' position and hit the Bludger hard in front of Higgs, which forced Higgs to slow down his movements and successfully created an opportunity for Ada to catch up with Higgs.

Ada did not disappoint George's trust. She and her Sweeping Seven Stars caught up with Higgs in front of her and left him two steps behind.

Gryffindor had a Beater, and so did Slytherin, and Bol hit another Bludger at Ada.

In order to avoid being overtaken by Higgs behind her, Ada did not slow down her speed to avoid the Bludger. Instead, she used the sloth-hugging-a-tree action to dodge the Bludger that was coming towards her.

Ada hung upside down on the broom, holding the broom handle tightly with her hands and feet. This dangerous action caused a cry of surprise from the stands. This action did not affect the speed much, so Higgs failed to overtake Ada, and his position was still slightly behind Ada.

The Golden Snitch might have had its own ideas. It didn't want to be caught so easily by the two people chasing it, so it flew towards the ground.

Aida and Higgs began to dive rapidly towards the ground at the same time, and the outcome was decided in this move.

The Seeker has a famous feint called the Wronsky Feint, where the Seeker pretends to see the Snitch far below, and then dives towards the ground, but stops diving just before hitting the ground. This move is intended to make the opposing Seeker imitate him and hit the ground.

As Wonski's fake move shows, even professional players can't control their broomsticks when diving at high speed, let alone two amateur players. Aida and Higgs's rapid dive is very dangerous, and they may break their necks.

The Golden Snitch took the lead and rushed to the ground, followed by Ada and Higgs. Whoever gave up first would lose.

Ada's red No. 7 uniform rustled. This was her first time playing in a competition, and this was the first time she liked the feeling of flying. Ada was competing with Higgs in mentality, and at the same time, she was also competing with herself, whether to choose fear or to move forward courageously.

The size of the Golden Snitch kept getting bigger and closer to the ground. Higgs was scared. He did not continue to dive down following the Golden Snitch. He stopped and looked at the red number 7. This substitute who made his debut was still chasing the Golden Snitch. He seemed to see the bloody appearance of the red number 7.

Everyone in the stands stood up. They were all paying attention to Ada. Whether she caught the Snitch or not, even if she gave up now, she would win everyone's applause.

Dumbledore stood up and looked at Ada who was fighting for her life. The soft part of his heart was touched. Professor McGonagall closed her eyes. She didn't dare to look at the court anymore. She even hoped that Ada could give up this opportunity.

But Ada did not give up. She stretched her arms as far as she could, trying to catch the golden snitch right in front of her. She regretted that her arm was too short when she needed it, which was the most vivid reflection of her feelings.

If you ask Ada why she tried so hard, she probably wouldn't be able to answer. Winning the Quidditch Cup wasn't important to her. Even if she failed, Professor McGonagall wouldn't blame her, and neither would her teammates, because they knew she had tried her best.

Despite this, Ada still tried her best and fought so hard. She did not do this to prove how great she was, nor to prove that she was better than Harry Potter. Her opponent had always been herself, just like the trial doll that looked exactly like her.

Ada's fingertips finally touched the Golden Snitch. She moved her body forward, and when she lost her balance, she grabbed the Golden Snitch! Ada fell off her broom. She didn't have the ability to forcefully pull up the Sweeping Seven Stars after catching the Golden Snitch. She was ready to fall off her broom, but the time came earlier than expected.

Ada protected her head with both hands, and forced herself to adjust her body, trying her best not to fall headfirst, while constantly chanting the slowing spell and the protective spell.

Most people in the stands were nervous. No one could predict how badly injured Ada would be after falling off her broom. Even if she won, what would it matter? Was it worth it?
