60 Chapter 60: Accident and Victory
"Malfoy, our king!"
"Malfoy, our king!"
"Malfoy, our king!"
""Today will go down in history!""
The enthusiastic Quidditch fans were screaming, and Professor McGonagall almost fainted. This enthusiasm immediately infected many young wizards who were not so enthusiastic about Quidditch.
Even Hermione thinks Cyrus is incredibly cool!
If there was anything that made her feel a little regretful, it was that Cyrus was now using Malfoy's face. If it were "Mr. Riddle" himself, she would have wanted to write him a love letter on the spot!
Compared to the excited audience, the players on the field were very quiet.
Graham was covered in a cold sweat and thanked Cyrus with both fear and gratitude.
"Thank you, Malfoy..."
"Don't worry, it's time for us to fight back." Cyrus patted his shoulder hard, and the two of them rose at the same time. The now scratched broom was a little unbalanced, but it was no problem.
Jason and Duncan flew over with apologetic expressions.
"Sorry, Graham."
"Don't worry, you're not breaking the rules," Cyrus said before Graham could get angry.
Hearing what he said, Graham was naturally embarrassed to lose his temper, but thought that he must show some color to Ravenclaw!
After confirming that everything was ok, Madam Hooch breathed a sigh of relief and blew the silver whistle:
"The game continues!"
The fourteen people on the field moved around again. This time, Cyrus did not continue to watch. He was quite bored staying in the sky.
At this moment, he held the broken gap of the broom handle with both hands and changed the direction of the broom's flight by a small amount. He is only a seeker and cannot score points through the Quaffle, but the rules of Quidditch do not mention that Seekers cannot compete for the Quaffle. It's just that this scene is simply not possible in other games.
There is no Seeker who does not look for the Golden Snitch and follows the Quaffle everywhere.
Unless he doesn't want to win.
Cyrus saw that Randolph had snatched the Quaffle from Adrian. He immediately rushed out and approached the opponent from the left.
Cho Chang thought he had discovered the traces of the golden snitch, and followed him without hesitation!
The seeker always has a blind spot in his field of vision. Sometimes the seeker cannot spot the snitch, so he/she must always pay attention to his opponent's every move.
Therefore, when she noticed Cyrus starting to move, she rushed over with Cyrus without hesitation.
Cyrus noticed her immediately.
Cho Chang in real life is much cuter than Cho Chang in the movie, and now Cyrus can understand why Harry is fascinated by her.
This is indeed a cute little girl with delicate skin, a small nose, and almond-sized eyes like sparkling black lakes under the sun.
She has the gentleness and elegance of an Oriental, but her personality is not as weak as she looks.
After discovering Cyrus's actions, she immediately lowered her body and rushed over, intending to hit Cyrus's shoulder with her shoulder in an attempt to knock Cyrus away from his original flight path.
But she didn't get it.
Cyrus, who had turned on the super-sensory spell, could feel the changes in the airflow behind him and the sound of the opponent breaking through the air as he flew without even using his eyes.
Therefore, at the moment when Cho Chang was about to hit him, Cyrus was hung upside down and his body fell down. He seemed to be Cho's reflection in the mirror in the sky. The two were close to each other. This way of flying is Unheard of!
But Cho Chang had no time to care about anything else.
She looked forward eagerly, looking for the golden shadow, but all she saw was nothing.
"Where's the Golden Snitch?"
"The Golden Snitch? Who told you that the Snitch was here?" The upside-down Cyrus said strangely.
She is asking about the golden snitch, has it appeared?
Has my super-sensory spell failed?
He actually didn't even notice the Golden Snitch appeared.
"There is no snitch, why did you suddenly speed up and fly this way?" Cho Chang shouted in frustration. She was nervous for a long time, but she didn't expect that it was just a fake move by the other party.
"No one stipulates that you can't fly around here." Cyrus curled his lips.
He already understood why Cho suddenly surrounded him. "I just intend to interfere with your chaser's attack."
These words made her very angry.
Cyrus' behavior is certainly not a foul, but if the opponent's Seeker doesn't focus on the Snitch, isn't this just looking down on himself and thinking that he can't find the Golden Snitch?
She lowered her head and glared at Cyrus angrily with her bright black eyes.
But despite being angry, she couldn't help but admire Cyrus's 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 current upside-down flight, he was completely different from Malfoy in the last game!
Of course, he is indeed Cyrus and not Malfoy.
She was very curious about how much rigorous training "Malfoy" had undergone during this period of time to achieve such success?
She couldn't help but feel ashamed that she had underestimated the opponent before going on the court.
Now, she even admires him a little. With "Malfoy's" current flying ability, it would not be surprising if he could become a world-famous Quidditch star in time.
Maybe I should ask him for an autograph after the game?
Cho Chang shook her head, she has a lot of thoughts, but the most important thing now is the game itself.
Cyrus' shadow-like flying style made her feel very uncomfortable. Although there was almost no contact between the two, Cho Chang felt like she was being restrained.
She immediately pulled up the broom handle and broke away from the scene.
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 Another goal scored!
I didn't expect Slytherin to still have some strength when they are acting righteously and don't foul! It seems that Mr. Malfoy's generous broom really helped them a lot!"
"Lee Jordan!"
McGonagal roared dissatisfied.
Lee immediately stopped pulling Slytherin and continued to explain: "As you can see, Cho Chang 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. Aren't you feeling dizzy?"
"Can Cho Chang 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 is behind it! They are flying upward, and Cho Chang and the players followed!"
Lee 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 due to the sun.
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 wouldn't 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 You-know-who.
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 both his parents were killed that night. This was never a pleasant thing for him.
He was in a trance 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 become like this due to the rescue just now. The front of his broom broke down a little when it was flying, and 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.
She's afraid the broom won't hold up even 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 giving up the game because of this -
The desire to win in Cyrus's heart was not allowing that.
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 the Old man 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 seemed like he just had 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 on 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 Cho Chang who was chasing after him.
"You have to slow down, Malfoy!" Cho shouted with all her 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 was not a match. The speed of the old antique in Cho Chang's hand was still behind.
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. '
Ctrus' 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:
"Arresto Momentum!"
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 he just didn't care about anything and let himself hit the ground.
Madam 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 Cyrus was going to be hospitalized but they were cheering because he was safe and he had indeed snatched the snitch.
