Chapter 68 The Quidditch Match Officially Begins
She slapped away George's playful hand and straightened her school uniform.
"Hurry up and finish your breakfast. It seems we have a Transfiguration class today. If Professor McGonagall catches you two, you're in big trouble." I ate my breakfast faster, and the others followed suit, remembering their own classes.
As soon as I finished the last bite, Gemini quickly carried me away again, and the three of us went to class together again today.
Time flies, and it turns out Fred and George were just jinxing us.
Today is Quidditch match day at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where the Gryffindor team and the Slytherin team will face off on the pitch.
The whole school was in an uproar, with students flocking to the field to cheer on their favorite teams.
In the Gryffindor stands, a Slytherin student caught everyone's attention.
I was wearing a Slytherin uniform, but I was sitting in the Gryffindor stands, and the Gryffindor students around me were all looking at me with curiosity and doubt.
“You’re a Slytherin student, what are you doing sitting here?” a Gryffindor student asked.
"I was asked by some members of your Gryffindor team to come and cheer me on." I really was practically dragged here; didn't you see Percy sitting next to me grinning from ear to ear?
"Why aren't you sitting in the Slytherin stands?" asked the Gryffindor student sitting on my other side.
"They don't want me to sit over there." I'm telling the truth.
"Oh, I see." The Gryffindor students suddenly understood. "Then you can sit here."
Gryffindor knows Slytherin's character, and they don't mind that I, a little snake, am sitting among a bunch of lions.
The match began, with the Gryffindor and Slytherin players speeding across the field on their flying broomsticks, vying for the Golden Snitch.
The students in the stands cheered excitedly, encouraging their favorite team.
I sat in the Gryffindor stands, calmly watching the cheers and shouts of the young wizards from both houses.
As a Slytherin, I'd be happy if my own house team won, but I wouldn't care if they didn't. As for the Gryffindor team, well, let's just look at those three girls on broomsticks...
I could only silently cheer for those three, and also silently cheer for the Slytherin team.
The match was very intense, with the score remaining very close throughout.
Just as the game was about to end, Slytherin's Seeker suddenly spotted the Golden Snitch.
He rode his flying broomstick swiftly toward the golden thief, and was about to catch him.
Just then, the Gryffindor Seekers also spotted the Golden Snitch.
He rode his flying broomstick swiftly after the Seeker of the Slytherin team, trying to stop him from catching the Golden Snitch.
The Seeker for the Lightning team was very nervous when he saw the Seeker for the Gryffindor team chasing after him.
He knew that the Gryffindor Seeker was a very skilled player, and if he were to catch up with him, it would be very difficult for him to catch the Golden Snitch.
So he decided to take some risky actions.
The Slytherin Seeker suddenly accelerated and charged toward the Gryffindor Seeker.
The Gryffindor Seeker was caught off guard by the Slytherin Seeker's sudden acceleration and was knocked off his flying broom by the Slytherin Seeker.
Slytherin's Seeker seized the opportunity to catch the Golden Snitch, winning the game.
When I saw that it was the Slytherin team that caught the Golden Snitch, I simply clapped my hands a few times to show my appreciation for my own house's victory.
The Gryffindor student who had just spoken to me saw me clapping for Slater and started staring intently at me.
They were furious that I, a Slytherin student, was applauding the Slytherin team.
“You traitor!” shouted one of the Gryffindor students who spoke up.
"How can you cheer for the Slytherin team?" another Gryffindor student asked.
Hearing the two Gryffindor students shout, the other Gryffindor students all looked in my direction, and Percy realized that something was wrong.
Just then, the Gryffindor Seeker got up from the ground.
He was somewhat surprised to see a Slytherin student sitting in the Gryffindor stands.
However, he wasn't angry. Instead, he walked over to the students from his own college and said, "It's okay. That's how competitions are. Sometimes unexpected things happen. This student has the right to support his own college's team."
Hearing what the Gryffindor Seeker said warmed my heart; there are still people who can distinguish right from wrong.
"Thank you first, young man. Secondly, I am a Slytherin student. I was just applauding the house that won the match; I didn't do anything wrong," I said calmly.
“You’re welcome. We’re all Hogwarts students, and we should respect and understand each other,” said the Gryffindor Seeker.
I nodded, feeling a deep sense of admiration and gratitude for the Gryffindor Seeker.
The matter was left unresolved. After both groups of students left the stands, Percy and I went to find the Twins and Oliver.
When we went backstage and saw the three of them, we could tell that the atmosphere between them wasn't very good.
"Ayers, we lost to your academy." Even the cheerful Fred was in low spirits today, and he just slumped onto my shoulder.
“Ayers, we lost~” George slumped listlessly onto my other shoulder.
"You only lost this time, you can win next time." I ruffled their hair reassuringly. I wasn't exaggerating; with Harry around next year, you'll win several more times in a row.
Even Oliver's eyes were red this time. He had been a member of the Gryffindor team for several years, and they had lost to the Slytherin team several times. This time they lost again, and he was even more unhappy than the Geminis.
With Percy and I comforting them, the three of them finally felt a little better. I suggested cooking them a big meal, and they finally let go of their unhappiness. They all planned to go back to their dorms to change their clothes before meeting up in the kitchen for a big meal.
And so we parted ways. I went to the kitchen to prepare a delicious dinner for them, hoping they would forget all the unpleasantness of the day.
While I was preparing the ingredients, Cedric, who had received the message, came to the kitchen to help. There are so many foods that can make you forget your unhappiness, but in the end, I think the happiest thing was eating hot pot.
Then, for the first time at Hogwarts, a fight broke out over food in the hot pot.
