Chapter 8 8
Chapter 8 8
It was already late October when the Quidditch season finally entered, and the weather became extremely cold. The leaves of the broad-leaved trees were basically gone, only the pines and cypresses were still dark green.When there was frost on the ground in the early morning, the clothes wrapped around Spirit Snake thickened again.Entering winter, Feiyan also entered the Slytherin prefects' lounge more and more frequently, and stayed in it longer and longer--before Jin Lingsuo researched the antidote, all he could do was its natural.
But it is undeniable that he still likes this kind of "let it be" in his heart.
In addition to eating in class and going to the library, they spend most of their time in the prefect's lounge - the Slytherin prefect's lounge has a fire earlier than other places in the castle, and the smokeless fireplace burns orange. The flames exuded warmth, making people lazy. They sat on the couch in front of the fireplace, leaned against each other, read books and chatted, talked about whatever came to mind, from courses to some scattered listening .At this time, the spirit snake will lean on Feiyan with a book, and Feiyan will comb the Slytherin prefect's hair with her fingers. Sometimes the owl brings fresh oranges from the south—take When entering the house, it was still cold outside, and the spirit snake didn't like the juice splashing everywhere when the orange was cut, so he took a knife, peeled off the orange peel, and put the peeled orange on the In the Slytherin prefect's hand, the peeled orange peel was thrown into the fireplace.
As far as possible, the thesis homework is done in the library, and for the rest—such as the spells that need to be practiced, Feiyan will practice alone in the lounge. On him, like a snake about to enter hibernation, his face was wrapped in light golden long hair and a fur collar, making him look extraordinarily small.Occasionally he would give Feiyan a lesson or two, and his slender fingers held Feiyan's wand—eleven inches long, with pine and cypress branches and a core made of phoenix tail feathers.The wand didn't seem to have any discomfort in his hand, and it was up to him to demonstrate the magic.When returning the wand, the fingers would touch—eleven inches seemed unlikely, but if they did, Feiyan would sigh inwardly but still honestly trace the hand up to the wrist.
Spirit Snake raised his eyes to look at him, his slender eyes slightly slanted, looking at him indifferently.He would bend down subconsciously, and then a kiss would happen very naturally, soft and warm.After that, he might go to another place for this kiss. He would remember to be careful not to press the snake's hair, and kiss the man's eyelashes again and again.
He tried not to think about what would happen after dissolving the potion - that was for later.All he can do now is to cherish the present time, which is both sweet and painful.
Time slipped away in a blink of an eye.Saturday is fast approaching and Hogwarts will have their first match of the season, Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor.
Friday night was spent in the Slytherin prefects' lounge as usual. At nine o'clock, Feiyan cleaned up the entire prefects' lounge and tidied it up. Spirit Snake was wrapped in a blanket and sat in front of the fireplace, watching his every move. , suddenly said: "Are you going back tonight?"
Feiyan's ears turned red.Since that night of bewilderment, he had tried not to spend the night here—but there were bound to be accidents.
"...Yes." He nodded, poured a cup of hot tea and put it in Spirit Snake's hand, "Tomorrow the team will have breakfast together, and we will go to the locker room at nine o'clock to confirm the tactical layout."
"Tactical layout," the Slytherin prefect repeated the last four words, and he said casually, holding a book: "I always think that the most useful tactical layout is to drug the opponent the night before the game. "
Feiyan let out a short laugh.He bent down and hugged his prefect, sinking his head into his neck and taking a deep breath.The latter raised his hand and patted him on the back expressionlessly.
"I'm leaving," he finally said softly, placing a kiss on Spirit Snake's forehead, "Go to rest early."
This Saturday had a wonderful sunny day, although it was a bit cold, but fortunately there was not much wind.The restaurant was filled with the aroma of food, and the students gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the upcoming competition excitedly.When Feiyan came to the restaurant, only the vajra had arrived in the team. The Hufflepuff batsman was obviously very excited to see him, but his mouth was stuffed with bread and he would be speechless for a while.Feiyan nodded at him, found a place to sit down, and put a few sandwiches on the plate in front of her.
"Good morning, the weather is good today, isn't it? Such a warm sun is rare in my hometown." The vajra that swallowed the food sat beside him and waved the fork and said, he took another bite of the roast Bread: "I think I'm a little nervous—" Suddenly he became excited as if he saw something, and waved behind Feiyan: "Ah, someone is here again."
Feiyan didn't turn her head, glanced at Yu Guangzhong, and recognized Qiushui Sword and Ravenclaw's Gui Yi Sword who entered the restaurant, Qiu Shui glanced at them from a distance, turned her head and said something to Gui Yi, and said something. Walking towards them, the seventh-grade senior sat down with a smile on his face, thanked him for the bottle of pumpkin juice and a vajra, and greeted them lightly: "Good morning."
"Good morning," said the vajra, "it seems that you are all in good shape."
Qiu Shuijian smiled and said nothing, but turned his head and looked around: "Where are the others?"
"The captain and the others haven't arrived yet," said the fourth-year Hufflepuff. "Qimei has come. He just ate something and left, saying he went to the locker room to check the broom first. Oh, seriously." Yes, don't you feel nervous?"
"I'm fine," Qiu Shui said, and he glanced at Feiyan who was eating beside him: "But I think Feiyan must not be nervous."
The vajra laughed twice, and looked up at the wall clock on the wall: "It's almost nine o'clock, they should be coming soon——I just recited the tantric scriptures three times in my mind to relieve my tension. This is a good way. I think everyone can try it. Ah, the captain and Qing Guang are here!"
"Sounds good, but I don't really need it, thank you." Qiu Shui said with a smile. He turned his head and greeted the two new teammates with a smile on his face: "Actually, I think it is more important than relieving tension." The question is, is there anyone to wake up Dragon Bone Hanxing?"
After the vajra galloped back, awakened and brought the keel cold star, and everyone had a pleasant team breakfast (from the sacred fire order), they stood up and prepared to go to Hufflepuff. locker room.But as soon as they left the restaurant, they met someone—to be precise, Feiyan met someone.
The Hufflepuff Seeker was taken aback for a moment, and then called the man "Prefect Spirit Snake".
Spirit Snake was wearing his fur-collared cloak and met Feiyan face to face at the entrance of the restaurant.He even wore a Slytherin green striped cashmere scarf because of the cold, but it didn't fit very well, and a few strands of hair were accidentally tucked into the scarf, sticking up in a mess.Feiyan's first reaction was to step forward and reach out to take off the messy scarf.He took a comb from the pocket of his robes, and stood in the dining room door and began brushing the Slytherin prefect's beautiful curly hair.
The holy fire order stopped and looked around for a while, then turned around after a while, and led the team members away gradually.
"Anyway, in the tactical layout, our Seekers only need to linger on the sidelines, occasionally attracting the attention of the opponent's Seekers..." said the captain of the Hufflepuff College team, and he winked at his players He lowered his left eye, "It doesn't matter if the tactical layout will be confirmed later, right?"
"Yes," Qiu Shui agreed, "but it would be better if we didn't have to go."
Of course, this sentence was skipped by the Holy Fire Order as "I don't understand what you are saying".
Meanwhile, Hufflepuff's Feiyan had combed and smoothed his prefect's hair.He put away the comb and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
"Today is your match," Spirit Snake said, "I said I will come to your match."
At that moment, something cheered in his heart, like a hot current dissipating from his heart, making him feel hot from his chest to his palms.Fei Yan suddenly wanted to go up to kiss his prefect, but there were too many people around, so she had to give up.He coughed lightly, shook out the Slytherin scarf and folded it twice, then raised his arm and passed it over the snake's head, put the scarf around the senior Slytherin's neck twice, and then put the long scarf on The two ends that come out are intertwined and tied in a knot.
"Thank you." Feiyan said.He pursed his lips and smiled, lowered his head and straightened the scarf, and then gently pulled the snake's hair out of the scarf.
"I'm going to fly very well," he whispered, "so please... just keep an eye on me."
Spirit Snake looked at him, finally nodded slightly, and said good.
Fifteen minutes to eleven, the Hufflepuff House team changed into their yellow Quidditch uniforms in the dressing room.Sheng Huo Ling stood at the door, this time he didn't say anything, just patted their shoulders one by one and smiled.Then he took his broomstick and led the way out of the dressing room.
Today is indeed a good weather, they stood on the court because the sun dispelled the cold a lot.There was cheering in the arena, his eyes turned around in the audience, and he saw the spirit snake at the highest point of the Slytherin stands.The Slytherin prefect had obviously been watching him, and he even smiled at Feiyan with his lips curled up.
The referee for this match was Yang Jiaqiang, a well-known retired Quidditch player who stood in the middle of the arena and waited for the arrival of the players from both sides.He holds the broom and has a ball box by his feet.
Under the watchful eyes of the referee, the captains of the two sides shook hands.Gryffindor's bright red jersey stood opposite them.The red is dazzling, and what is more dazzling than that is probably the blond hair of their captain and the golden headdress on his forehead.
He grinned and said arrogantly, "It's a pleasure to meet opponents like you in the first match - but the victory belongs to Gryffindor."
"Aha," Sheng Huo Ling smiled, and the sun shone into his different-colored pupils, lighting up those raging fighting spirits, "That's not necessarily the case."
"Everyone, please get on your broomsticks," Yang Jiaqiang said, and he also stepped on his broomsticks, put his feet on the box, and held the silver whistle in his mouth: "Listen to my whistle command—"
With the sharp whistle, fifteen figures rose up from the ground and jumped into the sky together with those balls!
Game start!
At the same time, a girl's crisp and cheerful voice sounded on the field: "Hello everyone! This is the first game of the Quidditch season this school year! Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor!" Sitting on the commentary stand was Acacia Ling, the fourth-year Slytherin girl is obviously not partial to both sides: "This will be a close match! Before the result is out, I think everyone can roll the dice to judge which side will win the final victory!"
"Okay! Now Gryffindor's Dragon Slayer got the Quaffle! He ran all the way - aha! He dodged a Hufflepuff bludger! A pass! Now Xi Moon Knife has the ball! The wicked Gryffindor master is sprinting towards the goal-ah wait! Hufflepuff's blue light sword suddenly appears! He snatched the ball! Now the ball is in Hufflepuff Chippaqi's team - into the hands of Mr. Shushui! He is very close to the goal! Mr. Qiushui tricked the Gryffindor keeper with a very stealthy move! Excellent! Hufflepuff scored!"
The field echoed with the cheers of the Hufflepuff students and the cheers of the Gryffindors.
"Hufflepuff scored ten points! The first goal of the game! Now the ball is in the hands of Gryffindor! It seems that the goal just now made Senior Tulong very unhappy. He was very aggressive. Breaking through Senior Qiushui's interception and advancing all the way—is he planning to rush to Hufflepuff's goal in one breath? Don't, I have already seen the interception line established by Qimei stick and Qingguang in front! Oh oh, he passed the ball to the Condor! Senior Condor seems to be flying across the field now! If it weren’t for the inability to use Animagus during the game, I think Senior Condor would be eager to transform Run with the ball in your mouth! Ah! His flight stopped suddenly—if I read correctly, the Bludger just now was given to him by Dragon Bone Hanxing in the second grade! Haha, luckily he avoided that bludger just now! Otherwise, it will definitely hurt! Senior Shendiao continued to fly again! In front of him is the eyebrow-level stick and the blue light sword! Oh, is the ball going to be snatched away again? Wait, what happened just now? What is Xiyue Dao? It happened at the right time—ah, never mind, anyway, Xiyuedao got the ball from the Condor from a tricky angle. Hufflepuff obviously didn't expect this turn of events—but their captain had quickly adjusted his position, and he faced the ball directly. Xiyuedao, but Xiyuedao didn’t care—why did he ignore it? He threw the ball! No goal—was thrown back by goalkeeper Sheng Huo Ling with the broom tail!”
This time it wasn't just Hufflepuff who cheered, the girls in the auditorium with binoculars all screamed, obviously thinking that the swipe of the Holy Fire Order just now was a stroke of genius, so handsome and chic.
"Eh? Wait a minute! Something's not right!" He Huanling suddenly yelled, and her laughter came out from the loudspeaker: "Haha! I think senior Sheng Huo Ling must regret the sweep just now ——Because the ball flew out and was caught by the senior Shendiao who had been optimistic about the route! This time the distance is very short, the ball will go in no matter what! Sure enough! The senior did not react to the flame! He missed it! Ryffindor scored!"
On the field, the divine eagle smiled provocatively at the torch, then turned the broom and flew away.The audience cheered again, and the Gryffindors waved their red scarves and shouted excitedly.
"It seems that the goal just now made Qingguang Lijian very angry. He hugged the ball and ran like flying! It's a pity that he is not as fast as Senior Shendiao, but he protected the ball with a beautiful change of direction! Oh, good It hurts - I mean just that look - a bludger hit by the green bamboo stick hits his calf! Another bludger! The blue light dodges the sword! Great! He immediately It's almost to the goal post! Wait, why didn't the other Gryffindor players come to intercept him—haha, the Bludger given by the green bamboo stick just now was hit by the Vajra pestle to the senior divine sculpture! Qimeigun and Qiushui stopped it! Now Hufflepuff is very close to scoring! Qingguang Jianjian threw the ball—very fast and very fierce! Goalkeeper Junzijian rushed over! He, he, he, he stopped! But because of momentum Back several meters - that ball is really too fierce!"
The next goal was the eyebrow stick, the Hufflepuff sixth year who usually looks gentle, but in the game he will never take a step back.
The swallow has been circling high in the sky - like a falcon.Occasionally, a Bludger came after him, but he easily shook them off.He squinted his eyes and searched for the little golden snitch on the huge field. Several times the golden headdress of the divine sculpture glistened in the sun, but only their own Seeker, the tiger-headed golden sword, was attracted.This second-year Gryffindor had extraordinary energy, and he didn't feel tired when he swooped up and down several times.
Gryffindor scored five more goals in the next 10 minutes, and Hufflepuff was not to be outdone, but their performance was obviously not as good as Gryffindor's cooperation-now the score on the field is six. Ten to twenty.
Feiyan could see that this score was still within the gap that could be maintained, but if Gryffindor had [-] more balls, then even the Snitch would not be able to pull back this score—and this number is very important for Gryffindor. It doesn't seem to be a particularly difficult thing to do.The audience cheered again—Gryffindor scored again.
It can be seen that Gryffindor is very attentive in this game. Tu Long, who has always played an offensive role in the past, made himself a bait in order to win. He is still aggressive, but in a different way.The cooperation between Xiyue Dao and Shendiao is perfect, and many tactics are very malicious.And the goalkeeper Junzijian is also going all out today.
Feiyan sees all of this.Suddenly he heard a sound vibrating in the wind not far away—different from the sound of the wind passing by in the middle and low altitudes, this sound was very slight, but he caught it.He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the source of the sound——
"Oh my god—Senior Feiyan, who had been high in the sky, moved! He suddenly accelerated and headed towards the green bamboo stick—there—if I read correctly! It's the Golden Snitch!"
The wind generated by the high-speed sprint blew up his robe, and the wind buzzed in his ears.He stared at the little golden ball, and soon—right away!
At this moment, a red figure suddenly appeared, it was not the team uniform of the Tiger Head Golden Knife, he knew very well that the boy's speed could not catch up with him - the Xiyue Knife who rushed out halfway lay the broom on the ground. In front of him, he grinned at him.Feiyan frowned, and his speed didn't slow down, but he lifted the broom lightly and planned to pass over Gryffindor's head.But he didn't expect Xiyuedao to drive the broom away after that smile, and there was a Bludger hidden behind him-the green bamboo stick was still in the swinging posture.
"Ah? I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I just wanted to hit that ball away!" The Gryffindor batsman obviously didn't expect this, and he shouted at Feiyan, "Be careful!"
Feiyan dodged the Bludger by somersaulting in mid-air, but he also lost track of the Snitch.Without even looking at the green bamboo stick, he flew into the sky again on his broom.
During this period of time, Gryffindor scored several more goals, and the game became more and more intense. All the players were running around the field like Bludgers, and the red Quaffle was constantly being passed around, like a Hot potato.
"Blue Light Sword got the ball again - oops! His ball was snatched by Tulong! Dragon Bone Hanxing drew the Bludger towards him! Dodged - wait, there is another one from King Kong But the ball was blocked by a green bamboo stick! Under the cover of his teammates, Tu Long passed the ball to Xiyuedao—huh? Didn’t he give Xiyuedao? Why did the ball end up in the hands of Shendiao Senior? What? Anyway, anyway, the Divine Condor senior ran all the way - but according to this route, it seems that his ball will be stopped by the Holy Fire Order senior! Oh! Wait! Another Gryffindor batsman, Tantric Golden Wheel, followed Behind him! He hit the Bludger at the Holy Fire - the Holy Fire was hit in the arm - the angle was wide! Another goal for the Condor Senior! Ten more points for Gryffindor! Now it's a One hundred and twenty to twenty! Gryffindor leads!"
The situation is very bad.
Suddenly Feiyan's searching gaze stopped - a golden light flashed above the divine eagle's head, but this time it was definitely not his golden headgear, but a golden snitch!He took a deep breath and began to speed up the dive!It really wasn't the golden ornament of Captain Gryffindor - the golden streamer only paused for a moment and then quickly fled away!
There is no reason why Gryffindor's tiger-headed golden knife was selected into the team in the second grade. He is like a roaring tiger, chasing the golden light down!But he still can't catch up with Feiyan's speed - Feiyan's speed is recognized as the fastest in the whole school.
Suddenly there was a sound of wind, and another red figure jumped out from halfway to Feiyan's side, galloping side by side with him——
"I think Senior Fei Yan must have seen the Snitch—I saw it too! But—but why did Senior Shen Condor go to hunt down that Snitch alongside him? Isn't he the Chaser? I have to say it's true It was a very magical scene - the two most famous 'birds' in the school were chasing and flying together!"
"You can't catch up with me." Feiyan said in a place they couldn't hear, he flew lightly and swiftly like a real bird, "No one can catch up with my speed."
"Ha," the Condor smiled, and was extremely arrogant, "Whoever wants to chase you, I just said that this victory will belong to Gryffindor."
Feiyan understood what he meant almost instantly.
At the same time, the voice of the commentary echoed in the field again: "Oh my god-just now, Gryffindor's Xiyue Sword and Tulong teamed up! Two more goals were scored! Now the score is [-]-[-] !This score...could it be said—yes! No one can catch up with Feiyan-senpai in terms of speed! Unless he can catch the snitch without him noticing—but this is obviously impossible...so Gryffindor made up his mind to give up the Snitch from the very beginning, this should be the attention of Senior Xiyuedao, right? After all, this is not something a competitive Gryffindor would do!"
"Look carefully, it belongs to Gryffindor's victory!" Shen Condor said, he yanked the broom and rose into the sky, just in time to catch the ball passed by Xiyue Dao, and a Bludger chased after him aggressively , was blown away by the green bamboo that had been prepared for a long time.Like a soaring eagle, he turned his head very quickly and rushed towards the goal post-"Gryffindor's offensive is even more fierce! You are indeed a victorious lion! The current score is [-] to [-] !"
Feiyan speeded up again, and the tiger-headed golden knife chased after him fiercely.At this moment, he is like a bullet that has just been fired, so fast that only phantoms remain.The Snitch was running away from him, and if he caught it before the next Gryffindor goal, the game would be a draw and go on—
He stretched out his hand and spread his five fingers forward, and his fingertips could already touch the metal shell of the Snitch—the gust of wind filled his eardrums, making his face painful.
Suddenly his broom stopped abruptly, and he made a half arc in the air due to inertia, and was almost thrown off, but he didn't care at all, the cold touch on his palm reminded him that he had caught the Snitch
But he was one step ahead—"Dragon Slayer this time! He's carrying the ball! Goal! Ten points from Gryffindor! One hundred and eight to twenty... no, one hundred and seven?"
The whistle sounded for the end of the game.
"Senior Feiyan from Hufflepuff caught the Snitch, but the final score was [-] to [-]...Gryffindor won the game!"
Feiyan was floating in mid-air, he looked at the snitch in his hand for a long time, and finally lowered his hand.The surrounding wind seems to be getting colder.His teammates flew to his side, no one said a word, and the Holy Fire Order reluctantly patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"You're still the best Seeker..." he said, "this time it's our cause."
He didn't speak, but looked up at Slytherin's observation deck, and met the eyes of the spirit snake.He only looked at it for a few seconds before turning his eyes away, slowly lowering the height of the broom, and returning the Snitch to the referee.
He might have let his prefect down.he thinks.
