Orochimaru travels to Hogwarts

Chapter 108 Let's swap at midnight, Harry!

With a whistle from Madam Hooch, both the Slytherin and Gryffindor teams took to the air.

At the same time, Lee Jordan's voice rang out.

"Slytherin is as despicable as ever; they actually launched an attack with the Loopball right from the start, targeting Gryffindor's new Seeker, Harry Potter!"

"Potter dodged really well. His Nimbus II was like lightning; no one could catch him."

"Slytherin's new Seeker is also here, and look at his broom! Comet 260, a broom designed for ladies!"

Lee Jordan's commentary, as always, favored Gryffindor, to the point that even Professor McGonagall became dissatisfied.

She couldn't appear too biased towards Gryffindor.

But Lee Jordan didn't care.

"Professor, I'm just giving a fair assessment! Look, Gryffindor scored! Well done, Angelina!"

"The score is now 10-0, Gryffindor is in the lead!"

Lee Jordan's amplified voice, amplified by the spell, echoed through the Quidditch arena, creating wave after wave of cheers from the crowd.

Orochimaru sat calmly on his flying broom, taking in the somewhat noisy stadium.

It's like a battlefield, but much quieter.

And it doesn't smell very bloody.

It's truly a pity.

As he was thinking this, he looked up and saw Harry standing in front of the Gryffindor stands.

Harry is probably searching for the Golden Snitch, after all, he's not one to pretend.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru smiled slightly, gently lifted his hand on the flying broom, and pulled it into the air.

He was so slow that he didn't attract much attention, except for the Weasley twins hitting him two running balls as if they were settling a personal score.

He dodged very skillfully, without even changing his flight path much.

When Orochimaru reached the highest point of the pitch, where even the Quidditch players looked like ants, he finally began to ponder the purpose of this match.

Of course, it wasn't about catching the golden thief.

Perhaps for young wizards or children at ninja schools, the outcome of a match is very important.

But for these ninjas who were used to life and death, the goal was something that they could use their lives as a bargaining chip.

Many ninjas died in battles to obtain intelligence on the enemy, all to pave the way for victory for those who came after them.

Orochimaru didn't understand this at all, but he knew that this was something ninjas would do, and that Jiraiya would certainly do the same if he felt it was necessary.

He gently shook his head, clearing the dregs of his memory from his mind, and then selected his target.

The Gryffindor stands.

That was the farthest stand in the stadium, and Professor McGonagall of Gryffindor had already gone to the commentary booth.

The commentator, Li Qiaodan, was so biased that the professor, who prided himself on being fair, had to go and correct him.

As for Professor Snape, who was ordered by Dumbledore to keep an eye on him, he was currently in the Slytherin stands.

Although he couldn't see clearly, Orochimaru could sense that the professor's gaze remained fixed on him, never wavering.

This is the predicament Orochimaru faced after Dumbledore drew a line for him.

He was under constant and undisguised surveillance from beginning to end, without stopping for a moment.

He had no doubt that whether he used Yennefer the White Snake or Hermione to send messages, his news would be discovered by outsiders in advance.

Therefore, he needed an opportunity, a chance to clear his name and pass on the message in front of everyone.

"Slytherin's Seeker is doing something. He's been up there for a long time. He—he moved!"

He spotted the golden thief!

Lee Jordan, looking around the arena, suddenly raised his voice, making it unclear whether he was commentating on the game for the audience or tipping off Harry.

But Orochimaru didn't care.

He was like a magically enchanted ball, hurtling straight toward the Gryffindor stands without flinching or dodging.

Harry didn't notice his partner's situation at first, but after hearing Lee Jordan's explanation and the cheers from the Slytherins in the audience, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem!

Orochimaru has discovered the Golden Thief!

Harry looked up and saw Orochimaru's finish line!

The Gryffindor stands!

Without any hesitation, he almost instinctively rushed towards Orochimaru.

In the blink of an eye, all eyes in the stadium were on Orochimaru and Harry, and Lee Jordan's commentary voice instantly rose.

"Look! Slytherin and Harry have spotted the Golden Snitch, and they're heading straight for the Gryffindor stands!"

"Although Slytherin is in the starting position, Harry's broom is faster, and he's almost catching up with Slytherin's Seeker!"

"Almost there, Harry's almost there!"

Lee Jordan's voice was high-pitched and excited, almost cracking.

As his voice faded, Harry led the way and disappeared beneath the Gryffindor stands.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru followed closely behind, disappearing into the Gryffindor stands.

The crowd's view was blocked for a moment, making it impossible to see what was happening below the stage.

Even commentator Lee Jordan could only vaguely see two blurry figures slipping into the stage.

But he was, after all, a commentator, and his words remained very passionate.

"Harry and Slytherin's Seeker, oh, some people say his name is Slack, why not just call him Snake?"

"Yes, Professor McGonagall, I will be fair. I have always been a fair commentator."

"Yes, although we can't see them yet, these two outstanding Seekers are locked in a fierce battle off the sidelines, neither giving an inch!"

"Whoever rushes out first is most likely the one who caught the Golden Thief!"

Li Qiaodan spoke at breakneck speed, captivating the audience on the court and making them feel the intense competition between the two.

But some people know that this is not the case.

Harry, who had finally managed to get ahead of Orochimaru, rushed under the wooden stands of Gryffindor and suddenly noticed something.

There was no trace of the Golden Thief here.

Not only was there none, it was even excessively clean.

"Are you looking for me, Jiraiya?"

Just then, Orochimaru's voice suddenly rang out from behind Harry.

He turned his head and saw Orochimaru appear below the stands, showing no intention of searching for the Golden Thief.

In an instant, Harry realized Orochimaru's purpose in leading him into the Gryffindor stands.

They need a quiet place where they won't be disturbed.

But what exactly does Orochimaru want him to do?

Harry asked silently with his eyes, and Orochimaru answered quickly.

"On the first night of Halloween, put on your invisibility cloak and we'll use Transfiguration to exchange identities for one night," Orochimaru said softly, as if he could already see the forbidden book zone beckoning to him.

What do you think?
