Chapter 191: Everything for Victory!
Chapter 191: Everything for Victory!
Malfoy was surprised that Ivan had not hit him with a stick, but when he opened his eyes and saw himself being carried high in the air by Ivan, he was terrified.
Initially, Malfoy, still clinging to his pride, kept spouting threats.
As Ivan's speed increased and he dove towards the ground, Malfoy completely broke down, clinging desperately to Ivan's thigh, fearing that he would be smashed into the ground.
"Aaahh~" Malfoy's shrill screams echoed through the sky.
But things did not go as Malfoy had feared. Ivan simply flew him close to the ground for a while before landing smoothly.
After landing, Malfoy was still shaken, with tears lingering in the corners of his eyes, muttering, "I'm going to tell my father."
Ivan was speechless. The joy of victory quickly faded; this was just a sniffling, crying little brat, and winning against him wasn't particularly satisfying.
Marcus looked at Malfoy's disheveled state, feeling quite embarrassed. His gaze towards Ivan also grew more complex.
He hadn't expected Ivan to be able to counter-attack and defeat each of the seven Slytherin team members who had been chasing and blocking him. Ivan's flying skills were on par with some professional players.
Ivan's incredible ball-hitting ability also left Marcus secretly impressed. If they couldn't limit Ivan's performance in the next official match, it might as well not happen.
Thinking about this, Marcus felt a headache but had no choice. He pulled the just-recovered Malfoy to find the injured players who had landed and take those who couldn't move to the hospital wing.
After Marcus left, Wood excitedly said to Ivan, "You played brilliantly just now. I must suggest to Professor Mcgonagall that you join the team. With you, we're sure to win the championship this year!"
"But the team seems to be full, right?" Ivan, considering the House Points at the end of the term, was inclined to agree but hesitated when he looked at Fred.
He remembered that Fred enjoyed playing and felt guilty about taking his position.
"Don't worry about it. You can have my Beater position. As long as you can help us win the Quidditch championship this year, it's worth it." Fred waved his hand, indicating his willingness to step aside and even smiled, leaving Ivan puzzled.
With that settled, Wood quickly thought of a strategy. Since they still had time, he directed everyone to practice it.
The core of this strategy was to use Ivan's incredible ball-hitting ability to knock the opposing Seeker off their broom with a Bludger, thus giving them control of the game.
During practice, Ivan was required to knock Harry off his broom with the Quaffle while being chased and blocked by George, Angelina, and others.
"What?" Harry stared at Wood in disbelief. Why did he have to be the target?
"You're the best Seeker in Hogwarts! If Ivan can knock you off your broom, he can definitely do the same to other teams' Seekers!" Wood patted Harry's shoulder earnestly and continued.
"Besides, this will also help train your dodging skills, so you don't get targeted by other teams' Beaters."
Harry opened his mouth to say something but, under Wood's "everything for victory" gaze, reluctantly mounted his broom.
During the following practice, Harry, who was the innocent victim, had no choice but to dodge Ivan's relentless attacks across the field.
Ivan wanted to hold back, but Wood's hoarse shouts from the sidelines, amplified by a Sonorus Charm, echoed throughout the pitch.
"Hals, hurry up, fly faster, aim for that side!"
"Put some effort into it! Did you skip breakfast today?"
"Aim carefully, Potter won't last long!"
Hearing Wood's fervent shouts, Ivan almost wondered if Harry had offended him in some training session.
But he shook his head. Wood must be too eager to win the Quidditch championship.
Last year, with Harry's addition, Gryffindor had won two consecutive matches. Another win would have secured the championship.
Unfortunately, due to the threat from Quirrell at the end of the term, Dumbledore had suspended all major school activities, including the Quidditch final.

This led to his performance being very unstable over the past ten days, with his skills fluctuating between good and bad.
