Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 61 George is too fierce

“Someone had fiddled with the ball and it wouldn’t let go of Harry, and it didn’t chase anyone else during the whole game.

That Malfoy from the Slytherin team must have tampered with it, trying to catch the Golden Snitch in such a despicable way!"

In order to protect Harry, all the Gryffindor players gathered around Harry, dropped to the ground, and knocked the Bludger away again and again, with the twins guessing angrily.

Chaser Alicia Spinnet looked at Captain Wood:

"Oliver, you can't let Harry deal with that thing alone, shall we suspend the game and request an investigation?"

Wood hesitated when he heard this.

Harry shouted excitedly:
“If we stop now, we’ll be disqualified!
We can't lose to Slytherin because of a crazy Bludger. They are already up by a hundred points and we can only win this game if I catch the Golden Snitch.

Come on, Oliver, take them away. I can't catch the Snitch with you around!"

"No, if we both apply for an investigation at the same time, you will not be disqualified from the competition."

Just then, a familiar voice came from above them. It was George.

After seeing what happened in Gryffindor, the Slytherin team started to watch the fun. It wouldn't do them any harm anyway, so George went over to persuade Flint to agree to apply for an investigation together.

The reason was simple. He told Flint that with the current trend they were almost certain to win. But if they won the game because the Bludger attacked Harry, others would think that they had rigged the game, and that would be a disgusting win.

"George, you are such a good man!"

Wood looked at George with his eyes full of emotion. George was indeed different from ordinary Slytherins.

Ms. Huo Qi noticed the situation here and walked over quickly.

Because both parties jointly applied to investigate the Bludger, the game was suspended. Snape and McGonagall, as the deans of the two houses, inspected the Bludger. The results of the inspection were obvious, and someone had indeed cast a powerful spell on the Bludger.

However, this kind of magic that controls the Bludger is not something that the little wizards in the school can perform, so it can be confirmed that it was not done by anyone from the Slytherin team.

This situation is rare in the history of Hogwarts. In order to ensure the continuation of the game, the two deans announced that there was a problem with the Bludger itself and temporarily replaced it with a new one.

And asked Dumbledore to help monitor the entire stadium to prevent any more accidents.

With Dumbledore personally supervising, Dobby, who was hiding in the dark, naturally did not dare to take action again, and the game once again entered a fierce competition.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, after three hours of competition, Harry finally came out on top and caught the Golden Snitch before Malfoy, scoring 150 points for the Gryffindor team and ending the game.

However, when he saw the score on the scoreboard, he was stunned.

The score between Slytherin and Gryffindor at this time is 400:200.

In other words, excluding his 150 points, Gryffindor was a full 350 points behind.

"Congratulations to Harry Potter for catching the Golden Snitch and scoring 150 points for Gryffindor. It's a pity that the winner of this game was Slytherin because George from their team scored 30 goals alone."

Commentator Lee Jordan announced the result of the game with regret. As a Gryffindor, he certainly hoped that Gryffindor would win. Unfortunately, George from Slytherin was too strong and Gryffindor could not stop the goal at all.

After the game, George returned to Hogwarts Castle surrounded by all the Slytherin wizards.

The reason Slytherin was able to win this time was entirely because of George. Otherwise, if Harry had caught the Golden Snitch, they would not have been able to win again.

After dealing with everyone, George quietly came to the Black Lake with his magic book.

Winning the Quidditch game was only to increase his popularity and reputation, facilitate his actions in school, and pave the way for his life after graduation. But these were just auxiliary measures and could not make him truly powerful.

Just like Lockhart and his ilk, they try every possible means to enhance their own fame, but when they are in real danger, they can only wait to be killed.

A truly strong person is like Dumbledore, Voldemort and Grindelwald. That is what he pursues.

But his wonderful time studying magic was interrupted soon.

A tall, middle-aged wizard with short yellow hair and round eyes found him.

"Hello, George!"

"Hello, Mr. Pei, who are you?"

Halfway through his subconscious answer, George realized that he had spoken out of turn again.

"My name is Ludo Bagman, current Head of the Department of Magical Sports and Games at the Ministry of Magic."

The middle-aged wizard replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, George immediately searched his memory about the name, and soon he had the answer.

Isn't this the director of the Sports and Physical Education Department who was addicted to gambling, went bankrupt, owed the goblins a large amount of gold coins, and cheated the Weasley twins?

"I wonder what I can do for you, Mr. Director?"

"It's like this, Madam Hooch recommended you to me, and I just watched your game. I want to invite you to become a member of our England Quidditch team."

Ludo believed that a young wizard like George would immediately and excitedly agree to his invitation, because no young wizard could refuse such an honor.

However, George's answer petrified him:

"Sorry, I'm not interested in that."

Joining the England Quidditch team would naturally be of great benefit to his fame, but it would be too time-consuming. He would probably have to go to the Ministry of Magic for training every weekend and participate in competitions around the world. It would not be worth it.

As I said just now, fame is just something you can earn easily, while learning magic is the fundamental thing, so he naturally refused immediately.

"But you played so well just now. I could see that you stopped the ball in the end to save face for the Gryffindor team. Otherwise, you could have scored more goals. Why did you reject my invitation?
Are you worried that your principal will not agree?
Don't worry about this, I will personally talk to Dumbledore, he will definitely agree, and will also give you special permission to set aside time for training and competitions."

Ludo explained anxiously.

George's performance on the court just now has completely conquered him. Judging from his professional level, even among major international teams, George's level is among the best.

So he must take down George today.

"To be honest with you, Mr. Director, I am good at Quidditch because I am talented, but magic is my hobby, so I don't want to waste my limited study time on Quidditch.

Especially now that I am only in the first grade, it is the most important enlightenment stage for learning magic.

Seeing that Ludo was becoming more and more anxious, George paused and continued:

"Of course, I am willing to contribute to our country's Quidditch team, just as I contribute to Slytherin.

So I can agree to join the England Quidditch team first, but I can't participate in training and games until my fourth year."
