Chapter 181: A Debut, the Match Ends Before Waterworks
"It was incredible... I can't believe Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch with his mouth in the end."
"There's no doubt Potter is an exceptional Seeker. I thought Gryffindor would lose when his broomstick malfunctioned..."
"I'm certain this year's Quidditch Cup belongs to Gryffindor!"
...
Throughout the castle, everyone was excitedly discussing what had just happened in the match.
Kyle, without saying a word, made his way through the crowd and returned to the Hufflepuff Common Room, where he found Cedric and Conna.
As soon as they met, Cedric eagerly asked, "What happened? Why are you only back now, and what's the deal with that Phoenix?"
"The Phoenix is Professor Dumbledore's, you could say it's his pet," Kyle explained. "But it usually stays in the Headmaster's office, so it's rare for anyone to see it."
Conna thought for a moment. "So, the Headmaster summoned you?"
"Yeah."
Kyle glanced around and quietly recounted what had happened in the Forbidden Zone to them.
"The Three-Headed Dog went crazy..."
Cedric involuntarily exclaimed, then quickly covered his mouth as he realized what he had said.
"You're serious?"
"Of course." Kyle said, "Otherwise, why do you think I'd skip the match and only return now?"
"But who would do such a thing?" Cedric asked, puzzled. "What benefit does casting the Confusion Charm and using Dark Magic on the Three-Headed Dog bring to them?"
"I don't know..." Kyle shook his head. "Professor Dumbledore hasn't had time to investigate yet."
Although he said this, he suddenly thought of Qilo.
The Forbidden Zone, Norville guarding the Philosopher's Stone... This must be related to him. But Kyle couldn't figure out the purpose of his actions.
If the intention was to use the Trapdoor, there was obviously no need to provoke Norville, as it would only make things more complicated.
And if Norville were to escape, Hogwarts would likely be forced to close, leaving no chance for him to obtain the Philosopher's Stone.
It was incomprehensible...
"Anyway, let's try to stay away from the Forbidden Zone for now." Cedric, thinking of the Three-Headed Dog, said with a bit of fear, "If we have to go to the fourth floor, let's try to avoid that area."
"There's no need to be so tense."
"Professor Dumbledore is already handling it," Kyle said. "Just be careful and don't go looking for trouble."
After hearing Kyle's words, Cedric and Conna also lost their enthusiasm for discussing Quidditch. Soon, they all went their separate ways.
It wasn't seen again until the next afternoon, just before the match. Cedric saw him in the locker room with Harris, holding a broomstick.
"Good, Kyle."
Harris smiled and patted his shoulder. "I thought you might be nervous and unable to sleep, so I prepared a Stimulant Potion for you."
After Harris boosted morale, everyone checked their broomsticks and gear once more and lined up to head to the pitch.
Action: Today's Quidditch match was just as packed as the previous day, and as the reigning champions, the Hufflepuff team received a deafening cheer as they took to the field.
However, Kyle noticed that the commentary booth had fewer professors than yesterday. The seats were mostly empty, with only Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape in attendance. It seemed that the other professors were also aware of the situation with Norville...
Kyle walked to the center of the pitch with the others, thinking about the professors.
Professor Hooch, as usual, gave a few words of advice before blowing her whistle.
Fifteen flying broomsticks soared into the air, rising high into the sky.
"It's Kyle from Hufflepuff, and he's the first to grab the Bludger!"
Lee Jordan shouted from the commentary booth, "He's a newcomer to the team this year, and he apparently achieved an unbelievable score during the selection match. But will he be able to perform in an official match... Oh, he's passing to Captain Harris..."
For some reason, Lee Jordan suddenly became serious.
There were some dissatisfied voices from the stands... This commentary without any jokes was not what they wanted to hear.
But Lee Jordan ignored them.
Joking aside, he had just copied the entire book, "How to Commentate on Quidditch," under Professor McGonagall's supervision, from the end of the match until the early hours of the morning, almost dying in the office.
The error-free version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar First Release Novel.
It had only been a day, so he had to be more restrained.
"As we all know, Harris of Hufflepuff is one of the best Chasers, and his coordination with Kyle... Oh my God! I see something... It's the Dual Offense Tactic! The Ravenclaw Keeper misjudged and went for the wrong person, and with the Bludger in Kyle's hands... It's in! Hufflepuff scores! In less than ten seconds from the start... They've broken the record for the fastest goal!"
The stands erupted, with many people standing up excitedly, cheering and waving their arms.
"Well done!"
On the pitch, Harris flew back and gave Kyle a light high-five.
"Perfect coordination..." Lee Jordan exclaimed, "Ravenclaw is probably in trouble."
Just as he thought, the entire match was then completely taken over by Kyle and Harris.
They were like two emotionless scoring machines, throwing the Bludger into the goalposts time and time again.
The Ravenclaw Beaters tried to stop them, but Hufflepuff had already anticipated this, and the Quaffle couldn't get close to Kyle and Harris.
In just half an hour, the score had reached an exaggerated level.
Hufflepuff 170.
Ravenclaw 0.
By the end, even Lee Jordan felt a bit numb, and his commentary unconsciously carried a hint of sympathy for Ravenclaw.
"Poor Vane... Just like the Chudley Cannons' Keeper back then, he's being shown up... I really hope he can hold on."
It was at this moment that Kyle and Harris realized they might have gone a bit too far.
Harris looked at the Ravenclaw Keeper with an apologetic expression and made a silent gesture.
Kyle nodded in understanding.
They were prepared to go easy on Ravenclaw, but just then...
"Wait, there's the Golden Snitch!"
A golden flash suddenly appeared below the pitch, and Cedric and Autumn accelerated together, flying side by side towards the ground.
But Cedric's broomstick was clearly faster, and he landed on the ground first.
"I've caught the Snitch!" He raised his arm high, and a golden object could be seen between his fingers.
The match was over...
