Hogwarts: From Luna's House to Godhood Through Intense Competition

Those were fireworks lit by Fred and George, and he could still see the two of them waving at him.

In fact, many people in the stands were waving down.

Although the match was still half an hour away from starting, the stands around the stadium were already packed with people.

Seeing such a lively scene, Vizette was reminded of the football leagues in his previous life... mainly the World Cup and the Champions League.

Arsenal led them into the dressing room, where they changed into sky-blue Quidditch robes, knee pads, gloves, and breastplates.

Although the knee pads, gloves, and chest protector were made of leather, they were coated with a deep bronze-colored leather oil, making them look like real bronze armor.

Arsenal practiced their tactics one last time and gave their final pre-match remarks: "We have many new players, and Hedgehog is relatively friendly, which will help you adapt to the pace of the game."

"But you must remember, only Hufflepuffs are that friendly. When you face Slytherin next, you must be on your guard; they have a lot of dirty tricks up their sleeves!"

Roger smiled and added, "But don't worry too much, that's something to consider later."

“That’s right!” Arsenal set up their tactics board. “Let’s make some final adjustments! The bell will ring when the time is up.”

While waiting for the match to start, Qiu Zhang also brought out chocolate frogs to share with everyone.

“This is what Penelope asked me to bring you. If you’re feeling nervous, eat some chocolate frog. It can easily relieve anxiety.”

At 11 o'clock, Wizette followed his teammates out of the locker room and headed to the center of the Quidditch pitch.

Shouts could be heard all along the way.

Go Ravenclaw!

Hufflepuff will win!

"Just don't lose too badly! Our college emblem is an eagle!"

Hey! What discouraging things are you saying!

"We have to win! Ravenclaw can't afford to lose again!"

……

There are all sorts of opinions, and the Ravenclaw students are not very optimistic, as there are just too many new players on the team this year.

"Don't let them influence you!" Arsenal said with unwavering determination. "Today we're here to prove Ravenclaw right!"

"Yes!" The players' voices were equally firm.

With a deafening roar, another magical firework soared into the sky. The firework eagle let out a loud cry, flapped its broad wings, and soared into the sky until it disappeared completely.

According to Fred and George's vision, the complete form of these academy fireworks should be that they fly around the field once before slowly dissipating.

It's unclear how much longer the two of them will need to adjust before the magic fireworks achieve the desired effect.

But this doesn't stop them from earning some pocket money.

After the Fireworks Eagle disappeared, another loud bang erupted above them, and an adorable Fireworks Badger appeared.

"And there's more! We sell both types of fireworks!"

"Okay! Two miniature academy fireworks! Two Galleons in return!"

"Look closely! This is the Badger and Eagle Together in the Sky that you wanted!"

From the stands, the excited shouts of two vendors could be heard.

Two huge explosions rang out, and the Firework Badger and the Firework Eagle appeared simultaneously, vying to be the first to cry out.

One minute before 11 o'clock, Mrs. Hodge appeared riding a flying broom.

"Everyone, please hop on your flying brooms!" she whistled, her voice and expression perfectly natural.

Refereeing is her main job, and Quidditch pitches are where she truly belongs.

Only in this place does Mrs. Hooch feel truly at home.

"Ride your flying broomstick and listen to my whistle..." She released the roaming ball, holding a Quake ball in her hand.

She checked the time and said, "Three...two...one, the competition begins!"

The whistle blows, and the batter is the first to rise into the air, ready to deal with the wandering ball.

Wizette shifted his attention from the stands and focused entirely on the game.

When he heard Mrs. Hodge shout "The game begins," he immediately leaped into the air and caught the Quaffle that had just been thrown into the air.

"What incredible speed!" exclaimed commentator Lee Jordan. "As a rookie, Wizette has taken the Quaffle first!"

"His speed is incredible! Let's see his flying broom... it only swept across five stars?"

He glanced at the commentary booth beside him. "Professor Flitwick, I thought you would also buy this newcomer a new flying broom!"

At Professor Flitwick's feet stood a high platform made of ebony.

Seeing that Vizette had taken the Quaffle first, he was in a great mood, with a big smile on his face.

"If we're lucky enough to win the Quidditch Cup this year, I'll try to get the whole team some new flying brooms!"

As the two were talking, before his opponent could react, Vizet charged straight at Hufflepuff's goalpost.

Hufflepuff's goalkeeper was startled and kept moving back and forth in front of the three circles, trying to defend.

Without hesitation, Vizette hurled the Quaffle, the bright red ball arcing through the air, grazing the goalkeeper's nose before disappearing into the ring.

The stands on the Ravenclaw side erupted instantly, with students shouting wildly.

"Ravenclaw gets a perfect 10!" Lee Jordan exclaimed in a high-pitched voice, "In less than a minute!"

"Vizete has scored the first goal! I've been commentating for so long, and I've never seen a goal scored so quickly!"

The Hufflepuff team felt the same way; before they could react, Wizette had already taken the lead.

Taking advantage of this time, Arsenal roared: "Tactics! Tactics!"

Mrs. Hodge served again, and Wizette took the lead, a bit faster than the opponent's chaser, and caught the Quaffle once more...

Chapter 82 Defense and Breakthrough, Cedric's Sudden Attack

Following the tactic, Roger and Jeremy did not cover for Wizette, but instead turned their flying brooms around and blocked Hufflepuff's chasers.

"I see through their tactics!" Lee Jordan, the commentator, grinned slyly, as if he had seen through everything. "They've staked everything on Vizet!"

Just as he was commentating, Hufflepuff's two batters came together and swung their bats, sending the runner towards Vizet, who was close to the scoring zone.

The two players hit the ball simultaneously, and the already rapid speed of the ball was amplified to another level.

"Double attack!" Lee Jordan shouted. "Looks like the Hufflepuffs have put in a lot of work! No wonder Wood said they have a secret weapon!"

"Oh no! The Ravenclaw batters aren't with Wizette! They're dealing with another wanderer! The wanderer is getting closer and closer to Wizette!"

"He still hasn't slowed down! Is he crazy? He'll crash straight into us! At the very least, he should change direction... Merlin's pink stockings! Vizette dodged!"

"He actually flipped his flying broomstick! He dodged the ball headfirst and feet-first! Is he an eagle? He's so agile, he doesn't seem like a wizard at all!"

"That's right! He's an eagle! The sky is his stage! Ravenclaw scores again!"

In less than two minutes, Wizette scored another ten points.

The Ravenclaw stands erupted once again, with the enthusiastic students shouting even louder.

"This can't be real, right?" Lee Jordan's voice was somewhat dazed. "Why do I feel like I'm watching a professional Quidditch player...performing a skill show?"

"Hufflepuff needs to think of something! Otherwise, they can only rely on Cedric to see if they can end the match with the Golden Snitch... If this drags on any longer, things will really get bad!"

In just ten minutes, Wizette's fast-paced counter-attacking tactics forced Hedges to score only one goal, bringing the score to 70-10.

With their tactics completely disrupted, Hufflepuff had no choice but to call a timeout to discuss their next move.

When Vizette returned to the ground, his teammates swarmed around him.

Roger, his face flushed, shouted excitedly, "Vizet, well done! A sixty-point lead in just ten minutes! I wouldn't have dared to dream of that last year!"

Duncan immediately raised Wizette's hand and shouted, "We have Lovegood! Wizette Lovegood!"

"It's still a long way off! This is only the first game of the year!" Arsenal poured cold water on the situation at the right moment, but couldn't hide the smile on their faces.

"They will definitely target Vizette next, which we have already considered! Just continue with the tactics as we have in training!"

"What if Hufflepuff and the others... choose to end the game with the Golden Snitch?" Seeker Cho Zhang asked with some concern.

“I noticed Cedric’s movements from high above; he’s probably spotted the Golden Snitch.”

“Indeed, that’s something to consider.” Arsenal stroked his chin. “After all, he performed exceptionally well last year, and could even rival Charlie…”

“Qiu, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” He patted Qiu Zhang on the shoulder. “They called for a pause themselves, which will cause them to lose track of the Golden Snitch.”

"The Golden Snitch?" Vizette heard their conversation and had a sudden inspiration, using her Magic Eye to observe her surroundings.

A tiny black dot appeared in the air and flashed past his eyes; it was the golden thief that Qiu Zhang and Arsenal had mentioned.

If it weren't for the Magic Eye, he would probably have needed to ascend to a great height and maintain an extremely high level of concentration to spot the golden thief.

Just then, Mrs. Hooch blew her whistle, signaling the players from both teams to come and assemble.

"Five minutes are up." She put down the box containing the roaming ball. "If you need to request a pause, please do so after takeoff."

"Just letting you know that Ravenclaw has two timeouts left, while Hufflepuff only has one. Please be aware!"

"We're all set!" The Hufflepuff players nodded and mounted their flying brooms.
