"Alright!" Mrs. Hooch nodded, first releasing the dart, then holding the Quaffle in her arms. "Three...two...one, the game continues!"
"Let's get back to the game!" Lee Jordan perked up at the sound of the whistle. "It seems that Vezet's excellent performance has given Hufflepuff a lot of trouble!"
"It's still Vizet who gets the ball! To be able to unleash such speed with a sweeping five-star attack... I'm sure the next teams will all be studying Vizet!"
“Something’s not right… Why aren’t Hufflepuff’s teammates defending?” He quickly scanned the field and noticed something strange, “They’re showing us the other end of the field…”
The Hufflepuff team, except for Cedric who flew high into the sky to continue searching for the Golden Snitch, all floated outside the scoring zone.
“Ah! A wise choice…though it’s a little less exciting.” Lee Jordan sighed, “but it suits Hufflepuff’s steady character!”
"Vizet's flight speed is too fast, and they haven't found a suitable way to deal with it yet... Defending without attacking is also a tactic."
"Harass them with the ball!" Arsenal roared frantically from afar. "Create gaps! Break through their defense!"
He felt like he couldn't exert his full strength. Although Vizet was very good at breaking through, his teammates' coordination was still lacking.
Hufflepuff adopted a defensive formation, simply guarding the area around the scoring zone, giving the impression of waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.
With both Jansen and Duncan batters, all they could do was keep hitting the ball to Hedge Patch, creating small gaps in the defense that allowed Wizette to break through and score.
Unfortunately, Ravenclaw's players are all newcomers, and they can only occasionally create openings for Wiesete to break through.
The game wasn't as exciting as before, so Lee Jordan had to find ways to make the game more interesting.
"Hufflepuff's doubles combo is definitely practiced! They've once again repelled the wandering ball and prevented their formation from crumbling..."
"This is probably a contest between a fledgling eagle and a honey badger... Ravenclaw seems to have the upper hand, but Hufflepuff still has a chance!"
"The current score is 170 to 40... As long as Cedric catches the Golden Snitch, Hufflepuff still has a good chance of winning!"
Just as Lee Jordan was trying to liven things up, Cedric suddenly sprang into action, turned the broom handle around, and charged fiercely toward a certain spot.
"Look, everyone! Cedric seems to have discovered something! You know, last year, when Cedric had just joined the team, he caught the Golden Snitch!"
"Qiu Zhang is right behind! Her flying broom is a Comet 260, with excellent performance in all aspects! The two are very close together!"
……
Chapter 83 A Dramatic Victory: The Undoubtedly Winning Situation
Upon hearing Lee Jordan's explanation, Vizette immediately began searching for Cedric's trail, while simultaneously using his Magic Eye to pinpoint the Golden Snitch's exact location.
He discovered that there was no trace of the Golden Snitch in the direction Cedric was chasing.
“This is a trap!” Wizette immediately judged, looking in the opposite direction from Cedric, where the Ravenclaw goalposts were not far away.
Sure enough, the golden thief stopped there, drawing zigzag lines in the air.
The Golden Snitch is a magical artifact modeled after the Golden Flying Hero, and it also inherits some of the Golden Flying Hero's habits, such as being able to stay in the air for a short period of time.
The Seekers also use this brief pause to pinpoint the Golden Snitch's exact location.
Cedric's initial move was actually one of the strategies employed by the stronger player seeking the ball.
By using feints to confuse the opponent, and once the opponent is misled, suddenly change direction and accelerate to catch the Golden Snitch unexpectedly.
"Why is Vizette suddenly flying towards his own goalpost?" Lee Jordan suddenly noticed the unusual movement. "He looks like he's about to shoot?"
"Wait! That's our own goalpost! They'll calculate the points for Hufflepuff! Vizet raised his hand... He really wanted to throw the Quaffle at his own goalpost!"
Arsenal was also somewhat puzzled, but out of trust in his teammates, he didn't say anything, but simply focused his attention and was ready to coordinate with Wizette at any time.
Vizette let out a soft breath and shouted loudly at Cho Chang, "Cho! Goalpost! Goalpost!"
Qiu Zhang instinctively turned his head to look, and did not continue to chase Cedric's flying broom.
She noticed the golden glint of the Golden Snitch next to her own doorpost.
"Oops!"
Cedric felt a chill run down his spine. He instantly understood what Wizette was talking about, and immediately turned the broom handle around and rushed towards the Ravenclaw goalpost.
"Oh! Merlin's beard!" Lee Jordan exclaimed upon hearing Vizette's shout. "The Golden Snitch was in the opposite direction! Cedric was just feinting!"
"But Cho Chang is closer; she's near the goalpost! She might be able to... catch the Golden Snitch even better than Cedric!"
The audience's hearts were in their throats as they watched Cho Chang and Cedric, wondering who would catch the Golden Snitch.
If Cedric catches the Golden Snitch, the score will be completely reversed, and Hufflepuff will achieve final victory.
Vizette cast the Guardian Meditation Technique, her gaze constantly shifting between four directions: Cho Chang, Cedric, the goalpost, the Golden Snitch...
The Golden Snitch will fly away immediately once the Seeker gets close;
Extending this line of sight based on Cho Chang's flight angle, the Golden Snitch is most likely to fly towards Cedric;
In that case, Cedric will probably catch the Golden Snitch!
The turning point is the Quaffle in my hand!
Vizette let out a long breath, channeled ancient magical power into the Quake, and then hurled the ball away!
Ancient Magic: Throwing Mastery
The Quaffle shot out with a whooshing sound and arrived in front of Arsenal in the blink of an eye.
Judging from the trajectory of the Quellin's Flying Ball, Arsenal can be certain that Wiese's target was not his own goal circle, but rather the goalpost below it.
He vaguely guessed what Vizette was going to do and murmured, "Can she really do something like that?"
Under his expectant gaze, the Quake ball, like a red lightning bolt, struck the goalpost and instantly bounced off in another direction.
“Vizet seems to have other plans… the Quaffle hit the post…” Lee Jordan said hesitantly.
He then looked to the other side, his tone becoming more impassioned, "Cedric is very close to the Golden Snitch! But Cho Chang is even faster!"
"The Golden Snitch has escaped! He's heading towards Cedric! Merlin's flowery shorts! What a rollercoaster of a match! Cedric is probably going to catch the Golden Snitch!"
A collective sigh rippled through the Ravenclaw stands.
Just as Vizet had predicted, the Golden Snitch, sensing Cho Chang's approach, panicked and chose to fly towards Cedric's direction.
Vizette's attention was entirely focused on the Quake, constantly channeling the ancient magical power within it to subtly correct its trajectory until...
“Let’s congratulate Hufflepuff on their victory…” Lee Jordan rattled off, then suddenly paused, “Quickfly!”
"Hufflepuff... Cedric has got a Quake! The Golden Snitch is now... in Cho Chang's hands! She's caught the Golden Snitch!"
"Match over! The final score is 320 to 40! Ravenclaw has won the opening match! Congratulations to Ravenclaw!"
However, he was still a bit confused and quickly asked, "Professor Flitwick, what exactly happened just now?"
His attention was focused on Cedric, and he didn't notice when the Quaffle appeared.
The Ravenclaw stands erupted in cheers, a deafening roar, with many students standing up and waving their arms as they chanted Wizette's name.
"Ravenclaw! Ravenclaw!" Flitwick shouted.
He raised his wand, which conjured countless colorful ribbons that fluttered freely across the Quidditch pitch.
When he heard Lee Jordan's question, he put down his wand, coughed lightly, and tried to suppress the excitement in his voice, making his voice as calm as possible.
"Vizet's Quake hit the goalpost, struck the goalpost, and bounced off!" he gestured exaggeratedly.
"That hit the Golden Snitch! It's unbelievable, I've never seen this kind of fighting style before! It's simply incredible!"
A commotion arose in the crowd, followed by shouts for Vizet growing louder and louder, echoing throughout Quidditch.
“This…” Lee Jordan swallowed hard. “Is this luck or skill…? Anyway! Let’s congratulate Ravenclaw once again! Incredible Ravenclaw!”
As soon as Vizet returned to the ground, his teammates rushed towards him, their faces beaming with uncontainable joy.
They desperately need a victory.
A house with a lounge high up and an eagle as its emblem, yet its Quidditch results are consistently the worst...
This is simply unacceptable for Ravenclaw.
Ravenclaw's students also gathered around, and Wizette was lifted high by them like a newly crowned hero, and they escorted him off the field.
If they weren't worried about Vizette falling, they would have carried her across the snow-covered grass into the Ravenclaw lounge.
Back in the lounge, Vizet checked the time again.
It's not even 1 p.m. yet, he still has time to take a nap before attending Quirrell's private lessons...
Chapter 84 Cedric's Troubles
The afternoon classes were still packed. Quirrell's condition has been terrible lately. Not only is his brow furrowed with anxiety, but his dark circles are also like thick, indistinct ink.
Aside from giving lectures, Quirrell remained unwilling to communicate much with Wizette.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Vizette couldn't say much and could only continue to express her concern using the chocolate frog.
When he returned from the auditorium, he learned that although the celebrations at the stadium had ended, the celebrations at Ravenclaw were not.
Ravenclaw students indulged themselves for once, celebrating this long-awaited night of victory.
Penelope and the others raised their wands and cast spells at the crystal in mid-air, causing it to refract colorful light.
Someone found Fred and George and bought a lot of magic fireworks from them to celebrate today's victory.
Fred and George were overjoyed and generously provided plenty of food and sweets, bringing the evening's celebration to a climax.
