Chapter 60: Surprise and Victory
"Malfoy, our king!"
"Malfoy, our king!"
"Malfoy, our king!"
"History will always remember this day!"
Fanatical Quidditch fans were screaming, and Professor McGonagall almost fainted. This enthusiasm immediately infected many young wizards who were not so crazy about Quidditch. Even Hermione thought Cyrus was so handsome!
If there was anything that made her feel a little regretful, it was that Cyrus was using Malfoy's face now. If it was replaced with the appearance of "Mr. Riddle" himself, she would have wanted to write him a love letter on the spot!
Compared to the boiling audience, the players on the field were very quiet.
Graham was sweating coldly, and thanked Cyrus with fear and gratitude.
"Thank you, Malfoy..."
"Don't worry, it's our turn to fight back." Cyrus patted his shoulder hard, and the two of them rose at the same time. The shorter broom was a little unbalanced, but there was no problem in finishing the game.
Jason and Duncan flew over with apologetic faces.
"Sorry, Graham."
"Don't worry, you didn't break the rules." Cyrus said before Graham got angry.
Hearing him say that, Graham naturally didn't feel like throwing a tantrum, but just thought in his heart that he must teach Ravenclaw a lesson!
After confirming that it was a false alarm, Madam Hooch also breathed a sigh of relief, and she blew the silver whistle:
"The game continues!"
The fourteen people on the field moved again, and this time Cyrus didn't continue to watch, and he was bored staying in the air all the time.
At this moment, he held the broken gap of the broom handle with both hands, and changed the direction of the broom's flight with a slight amplitude. He was just a seeker, and there was no way to score through the Quaffle, but the rules of the Quidditch game did not mention that the seeker could not compete for the Quaffle. It's just that this scene is impossible in other games.
No seeker does not look for the Golden Snitch, but follows the Quaffle everywhere.
Unless he doesn't want to win.
Cyrus saw that Randolph had snatched the Quaffle from Adrian, so he rushed out immediately and approached him from the left.
Zhang Qiu thought he had found the trace of the Golden Snitch, and followed him without hesitation!
Seekers always have blind spots in their vision. Sometimes they can't find the Snitch, so they have to pay attention to their opponents' every move. Therefore, when she noticed that Cyrus started to move, she rushed over with Cyrus without hesitation. Cyrus noticed her immediately.
Zhang Qiu in real life is much cuter than Zhang Qiu in the movie. Now Cyrus can understand why Harry is fascinated by her.
This is indeed a lovely little girl with delicate skin, a small nose, and almond-sized eyes like a sparkling black lake under the sun. She has the gentleness and elegance of an oriental person, but her personality is not as weak as she looks.
After discovering Cyrus's move, she immediately lowered her body and rushed over, intending to hit Cyrus' shoulder with her shoulder, trying to knock Cyrus off the original flight trajectory.
But she didn't have a chance.
Cyrus, who activated the supersensory spell, could feel the changes in the airflow behind him without even looking with his eyes, as well as the sound of the other party breaking through the air when flying.
Therefore, at the moment when Zhang Qiu collided with him, Cyrus was directly upside down, and his body fell down. He seemed to be Zhang Qiu's reflection on the mirror of the sky. The two of them were tightly pressed together. This way of flying was unheard of!
But Zhang Qiu had no time to care about anything else.
She looked forward eagerly, looking for the golden shadow, but all she saw was nothingness.
"Where is the golden snitch?"
"Golden snitch? Who told you that the snitch is here?" Cyrus, who was hanging upside down, said strangely.
The golden snitch appeared?
His supersensory spell failed?
He didn't even notice the golden snitch appeared.
"Why did you suddenly speed up and fly here without a snitch?" Zhang Qiu shouted in annoyance. She was nervous for a long time, but she didn't expect it to be just a fake move by the other party.
"No one has stipulated that you can't fly around here." Cyrus curled his lips. He already understood why Zhang Qiu suddenly surrounded him. "I just wanted to interfere with your chasers' attack."
This made Zhang Qiu very angry.
Cyrus's behavior was naturally not a foul, but the opponent's seeker did not focus on the snitch. Isn't this looking down on himself and thinking that he can't find the golden snitch?
She lowered her head and glared at Cyrus with her bright black eyes.
But in anger, she couldn't help but admire Cyrus' flying skills.
Even he had to admit that Cyrus' performance in this game was amazing. Whether it was the extreme slalom just now or the upside-down flight now, he was completely different from Malfoy in the last game!
Of course, in fact, they were indeed two people.
She was very curious about how much rigorous training "Malfoy" had undergone during this period to achieve such success?
She couldn't help but feel ashamed for despising him before going on the court. She even admired him a little. With Malfoy's current flying ability, it wouldn't be surprising if he became a world-renowned Quidditch star in the future.
Perhaps I should ask him for an autograph after the game?
Zhang Qiu had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but the most important thing now was the game itself.
Cyrus' shadow-like flying style made her feel very uncomfortable. Although there was almost no contact between the two, Zhang Qiu felt like she was being restrained. She immediately pulled up the broom handle and broke away from the scene. Merged planets fly the same way as satellites.
At this time, the score gap between the two teams has become wider and wider!
"The Slytherin team scored again!" Lee Jordan shouted hard, "The current score is 90 to 20, and the Slytherin team leads by 70 points - 80 points! Marcus Flint Scored another goal!
"I didn't expect Slytherin to have some strength even if he plays well and doesn't foul! It seems that Mr. Malfoy's generous broom really helped them a lot!"
"plum--"
Mag roared dissatisfied.
Li immediately stopped pushing Slytherin and continued to explain: "As you can see, Zhang Qiu escaped from Malfoy's upside-down flight. This flying method put a lot of pressure on her. It was really wonderful, but Malfoy kept flying upside down. Are you feeling dizzy?"
"Can Zhang Qiu catch the Golden Snitch before the score between the two sides is stretched by more than 150 points? The Golden Snitch hasn't appeared yet - it has appeared! Malfoy found it! They are flying upward, Zhang Qiu The players followed!"
Li suddenly raised everyone's hearts.
On the field, the green shadow flew up into the sky like a rocket, and everyone couldn't help but raise their heads. A bright light and shadow instantly made them dizzy.
The sun's rays are too dazzling.
"Is there really a Golden Snitch?" Hermione and Ron looked up and saw nothing.
Only Harry squinted his eyes and saw a dark shadow that seemed to be shaking in the distance. Although he couldn't see clearly, he was sure that it was the Snitch!
"This is incredible. If we hadn't seen him flying over, who would have discovered where the Snitch was?" He exclaimed, "He will become the greatest seeker in the world!"
"He won't." Ginny shook her head, "Mr. Riddle won't regard Quidditch as his career, Harry. It doesn't mean much to him."
Harry didn't quite understand this.
"Career" - such a word is still too far away for him.
But Harry didn't understand how Quidditch could be meaningless. He felt that Quidditch was almost the most interesting thing in the world. Moreover, what he is best at is Quidditch. From Quidditch, Harry can feel the value of his existence.
I can understand the joy of people cheering for me.
This is different from people calling him the "Boy-Who-Lived" and thinking he killed Voldemort.
That kind of praise was something he couldn't accept with peace of mind.
He had no idea what happened that night, not to mention that his parents were killed that night. This was never a pleasant thing for him.
He was in a daze for a moment, and then he was awakened by the exclamation.
Everyone looked nervous.
"What's wrong?"
Ginny and Hermione were too anxious to speak, and Ron nervously held Harry's forearm.
"There's something wrong with the broom!"
"What?" Harry quickly took the telescope from Hermione's hand. Through the lens, he saw the broom in Cyrus's hand shaking violently, as if it was about to fall apart. "It must have been the rescue just now." It broke down when it was flying. To be honest, it’s a miracle that it can still fly!”
"He has to stop!" Hermione was so panicked that her entire face lost all color.
"Stop? You are mistaken! He is still accelerating!" Ron seemed to have seen a ghost. "He is simply crazy! If the broom falls apart at that height, he will fall to his death!"
Hearing these words, Ginny almost fainted.
"We have to stop the game!" Hermione stood up and ran towards Dumbledore. But there were so many little wizards that everyone stood up and blocked the road. I'm afraid that the broom will no longer hold up before she leaves the Gryffindor position.
Of course, Cyrus knows his situation better than anyone else.
The malfunction of the flying broom cannot be easily solved with a repair spell. Even if it could be done, Cyrus would not be able to cast such a spell beyond Malfoy's level in full view of the public.
But let him give up the game -
The desire to win in Cyrus's heart was not allowed.
After all, he was also a time traveler, and the one who took over his body was Lao Fu's soul. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if he lost to a little girl?
And in fact, the broom may not be able to hold it. Even if it really can't hold it, there is nothing to be afraid of. First of all, it was impossible for Dumbledore to watch the school director's son fall and get injured. Secondly, even if Old Deng was indifferent, Cyrus himself had many ways to save his life.
Although the flying spell is inconvenient to use, if you reduce the shock and adjust your landing posture, you will only break one hand at most.
In the magic world, breaking a hand is no different from scratching a piece of skin. Besides, it's not him who hurts.
Therefore, although he realized that the broom could no longer hold on, he still accelerated.
"Faster—"
In Cyrus' pupils, the shadow of the snitch became increasingly clear.
It seems like you just have to reach out and get it.
He stretched out his hand and jumped forward, but his fingertips missed the snitch.
The hands are too short.
He had forgotten that this body belonged to Draco Malfoy.
And because of this small movement, the broom he was riding completely lost its balance, shaking violently and crazily like a fierce horse! Cyrus cast several spells to make himself feel less bumpy. But when he exerted force with his right foot, he accidentally broke the pedal of the broom.
Half of the metal pedal fell off and almost hit Zhang Qiu who was chasing after him.
"You have to slow down, Malfoy!" Zhang Qiu shouted with all his strength. The broomstick Cyrus was riding was scary just to look at. After one of the pedals fell off, even the broom hair on his tail began to loosen.
Cyrus turned a deaf ear.
"Malfoy, stop it!"
The two people rushed all the way into a huge cloud. Even the damaged Nimbus 2001 could not match the speed of the old antique in Zhang Qiu's hand.
She failed to catch up with Cyrus and lost him in the clouds.
"He's crazy?"
Nearly a thousand teachers and students raised their heads and looked nervously at the sky, but there was nothing there except the dazzling sunshine and thick clouds.
Then the clouds broke!
A black shadow fell down——
Dumbledore saw it clearly - it was "Malfoy".
It can be said that Malfoy's performance today was beyond his expectations - it was so outstanding!
It's simply excellent to the point of being abnormal.
Is this still Malfoy?
But Dumbledore did not suspect that Malfoy was the one who stole the Horcrux and was controlled by Tom Riddle. Because he knew Tom so well. Tom would never be too ostentatious without ensuring his own safety.
and--
'Tom Riddle couldn't have saved anyone. ’
Sellers' action in rescuing Graham completely cleared him of suspicion. The Dark Lord only takes other people's lives, so how can he possibly save others?
Looking at the rapidly falling figure, Dumbledore raised his arms again:
"Shock reduction and speed stop!"
Cyrus felt as if there was a soft force on his back lifting him up. He seemed to be hitting the wool mat layer by layer, and his falling speed became slower and slower.
He knew immediately that it was Dumbledore who had taken action.
So I just didn't care about anything and let myself hit the ground.
Mrs. Hooch blew the silver whistle and swooped down. Cyrus immediately took out the Golden Snitch in his hand.
After giving up, he was carried into the school doctor's office by a large group of people cheering. It was as if they were celebrating that they were finally hospitalized.
