Hogwarts: I Became the Third Dark Lord.

Instantly, Hufflepuff and the Slytherin players were shoving each other.

Chapter 105 Quidditch in Progress

"Dudududu!"

Seeing that the players from Hufflepuff and Slytherin were already shoving each other, Mrs. Hooch immediately blew her whistle.

"Shh!"

At the same time, boos erupted from the stands, and the badgers and snakes that were close by were already spitting on each other's faces.

It wasn't until Snape and Professor Sprout stood up and reprimanded their respective students that the students from the two houses in the stands were separated, thus preventing a large-scale conflict.

At this moment, Madam Hooch gathered the Hufflepuff and Slytherin members around her and gave them a verbal warning:

"I hope this doesn't happen again! Otherwise, I will stop this match! Both of you will be treated as losers! Do you understand?!"

Faced with Mrs. Hodge's warning, Green innocently took Wentworth's hand and protested:

"Marcus attacked Wentworth first! Look, Wentworth's hand is all red from being squeezed! Poor Wentworth, he's just a freshman, only eleven years old! For a long time to come, his hand will be as important to him as his beloved girl! And now he's injured!"

Wentworth, who had initially felt gratified that Green had spoken up for him, now felt a chill run down his spine.

Seeing Wentworth's hand, which was red and swollen from Marcus's grip, Mrs. Hodge frowned and called Marcus over to give him a warning.

Marcus repeatedly stated that it was just an accident and that he absolutely did not do it intentionally.

When Marcus returned to the Slytherin team, he was momentarily stunned. He didn't know why, but the moment he saw Wentworth's face, a sentence from the letter in the mysterious package flashed into his mind:

Take down Wentworth, and victory belongs to Slytherin!

When I first saw this, I was dismissive. What could a Hufflepuff first-year student possibly do?

But when Wentworth appeared in front of him, Marcus felt his heart race and an urge to destroy the person in front of him!

Just then, Madam Hooch's whistle blew, and the first Quidditch match of the Hogwarts school year officially began!

Marcus Flint quickly shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and simply dismissed his earlier impulsiveness as a manifestation of his eagerness to win.

Meanwhile, Hufflepuff and the other Slytherin players were now locked in a fierce battle!

"Honestly, we specifically changed Slytherin's first opponent from the combative Gryffindor to the relatively peaceful Hufflepuff this year, just to avoid this kind of thing happening, but it still happened!"

This Quidditch match also attracted the attention of the vast majority of Hogwarts professors. At this moment, Professor McGonagall was sitting next to Headmaster Dumbledore and began to complain.

Regarding Dumbledore's glasses, Dumbledore remarked meaningfully:

"That's because this year's Hufflepuff saw hope. Hope gives people motivation and the courage to face any challenge."

The game had barely begun when, before Wentworth could even spot the Golden Snitch, a wandering ball nearly struck him. Fortunately, the Hufflepuff batsman reacted quickly, preventing Wentworth from being injured and forced to leave the game right at the start.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Wentworth repeatedly thanked the Hufflepuff batsman next to him.

Hufflepuff's batter, however, nonchalantly waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the ball moving around the field, while loudly proclaiming:

"Wentworth, your target is the Golden Snitch. As for the others, we've got you covered! Captain Green emphasized before the game that my job is to protect you! So go ahead and search for the Golden Snitch without worry!"

Hearing the Hufflepuff batsman's words, Wentworth felt a surge of emotion. But before Wentworth could express his gratitude again, with a thud, the Slytherin batsman, who was not far away, suddenly hurled a wandering ball at Wentworth.

This time, Wentworth, who had gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game, did not bother his batter anymore. He accelerated and turned in the air to get rid of the ball flying towards him.

But while Wentworth was busy dodging the wandering ball, the Slytherin students in the stands erupted in a deafening cheer.

Just moments ago, Marcus Flint, as Slytherin's Chaser, had already thrown the Quaffle into Hufflepuff's goal, giving Slytherin a 10-point lead.

As the arrogant Slytherin players flew past Wentworth, Marcus Flint deliberately spoke up to mock them:

"Hey, isn't this the genius wizard from Hogwarts? What, taking a stroll on the pitch? I don't think you can fly more than a few steps!"

The Slytherin players burst into laughter! Faced with Marcus Flint's taunts, Wentworth didn't retort. Instead, he continued searching for something on the field. Suddenly, Wentworth's gaze sharpened, and his flying broomstick accelerated sharply, flying downwards.

Wentworth's sudden move startled Marcus Flint, who quickly recovered and addressed his Seeker:

"Quick, follow him! Follow Wentworth! He's spotted the Golden Snitch!"

Before Marcus Flint could finish speaking, the Slytherin Seeker suddenly accelerated. Since he couldn't spot the Golden Snitch, the Slytherin Seeker had no choice but to keep a close eye on Wentworth's back and follow behind him.

Just then, Slytherin's Seeker suddenly noticed Wentworth making a reaching motion!

Seeing this, Slytherin's Seeker knew that the Golden Snitch was probably right in front of Wentworth.

So Slytherin's Seeker accelerated again, intending to overtake Wentworth, who quickly made a gesture to block him. This made Slytherin's Seeker even more convinced that the Golden Snitch was right in front of him.

Now, Slytherin's Seeker decided to increase his speed without reservation, intending to overtake Wentworth in one fell swoop. But just as he was about to succeed, Wentworth suddenly pulled his broom up, and the sudden rise of Wentworth blocked the Slytherin Seeker's view.

By the time the Slytherin Seeker realized what was happening, a gleaming silver post appeared in front of him—the Hufflepuff goalpost!

"Peng!"

A chorus of gasps erupted as people watched in disbelief as Slytherin's Seeker crashed into the goalpost and fell off his broom.

Just then, Wentworth flew back to Marcus Flint's side and said with a regretful expression:

"It's a pity it's not you..."

Before Marcus Flint could react, Wentworth flew away again, leaving only the words:

"Marcus, you've really mastered the art of sabotaging your teammate!"

Chapter 106 The Shocking Turn of Events After Victory

Upon hearing Wentworth's words, Marcus Flint felt a surge of anger fill his chest, and his eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

At the same time, a voice kept echoing in his mind:

Take down Wentworth, and victory belongs to Slytherin!

So, as if possessed, Marcus Flint rode his flying broomstick and followed Wentworth from behind, and quietly reached out his hand!

But at that moment, Green suddenly stepped in front of Marcus Flint, and said to him warily:

"Kid, what do you think you're doing?!"

The sudden appearance of Green brought Marcus Flint back to his senses. At that moment, Wentworth heard voices behind him and turned around, just in time to see Green and Marcus Flint facing off.

Seeing that many of the Hufflepuff and Slytherin players were turning their attention to this side, and with Green blocking his way, Marcus Flint could only glare at Wentworth and say resentfully:

"Wentworth, you just wait! You can't win a game with just tricks! Victory belongs to Slytherin!"

After saying that, Marcus Flint turned and flew away.

Seeing Marcus Flint turn to leave, Green also turned and went to Wentworth's side, speaking up to remind him:

"Wentworth, watch out for Marcus. I think he's acting a bit strange today!"

Hearing Green's words, Wentworth smiled and said:

"It's alright, Green. If that kid were a hitter, I'd be worried he'd be targeting me and hitting me with a walking ball. But he's a chaser, he can't exactly pull out a wand and cast a spell on me, can he?"

Green thought about it and agreed, but still gave Wentworth a few more instructions, which Wentworth nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Slytherin's Seeker, after drinking Snape's potion and receiving brief treatment from Madam Bobby Pomfrey, miraculously returned to the field, once again earning cheers from the Slytherin crowd.

Professor Snape, back in the stands, said with a grim expression:

"Wentworth has a good mind; hopefully he'll use it more in his studies!"

Upon hearing Snape's words, Professor Ilona, ​​sitting in the front row, suddenly turned around and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"Besides Cassandra, there don't seem to be many first-year students who can rival Wentworth, do they? It seems Professor Snape has high expectations for Wentworth!"

Upon hearing Professor Ilona's words, Snape's face darkened further, but he did not refute her again, only letting out a heavy "humph".

The match then restarted.

On the field, the players from Hufflepuff and Slytherin went back and forth, with each side winning and losing, but Slytherin consistently maintained a slight lead over Hufflepuff in the score.

During this time, both Wentworth and Slytherin's Seekers spotted the Golden Snitch, but just as they were about to chase it, they were immediately thwarted by the opposing batters, and the game gradually became a stalemate.

Just then, Wentworth heard a whistle from the court and looked in the direction of the sound to see Green.

Wentworth was overjoyed; this was the signal Hufflepuff had agreed upon before the match, indicating that the Golden Snitch's trail had been discovered.

So Wentworth immediately and quietly moved toward where Green was.

Halfway there, Wentworth spotted the Golden Snitch not far from Green.

But just then, Wentworth heard Marcus Flint shout from the other side:

"The Golden Snitch has been spotted in Wentworth!"

With Marcus Flint's roar, both sides' eyes instantly turned to Wentworth.

This turn of events infuriated Wentworth, who couldn't help but burst into a tirade:

"Marcus, are you crazy? It's the game! Why are you staring at me?"

Despite saying that, Wentworth didn't hesitate any longer and accelerated towards the Golden Snitch.

Marcus Flint was also somewhat curious, feeling that he had been unconsciously focusing his gaze on Wentworth all day, but every time he saw Wentworth, a surge of anger would ignite within him.

But Marcus Flint knew this wasn't the time to think about such things. Seeing that Wentworth was closer to the Golden Snitch than Slytherin's Seeker, Marcus knew he had to do something.

Without a word, Marcus Flint mounted his flying broom and flew towards Wentworth.

Seeing Marcus Flint closing in on Wentworth, Green immediately turned around and unabashedly stood protectively beside Wentworth.

"Wentworth, you go catch the Golden Snitch, leave the rest to me!"

"Green gave the order loudly," Green commanded.

Wentworth didn't even have time to respond; at that moment, all he could see was the golden snitch dodging around right in front of him.

Just as Wentworth was getting closer and closer to the Golden Snitch, Marcus Flint also approached, but Green stood between Marcus Flint and Wentworth.

Green and Marcus Flint were seen colliding fiercely in the air. Marcus Flint was trying to squeeze next to Wentworth to interfere with his capture of the Golden Snitch, while Green was desperately trying to push Marcus Flint away from Wentworth.

Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, a burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly erupted from the crowd. The two looked up in surprise and, sure enough, saw Wentworth holding the Golden Snitch aloft not far ahead, receiving cheers from the Hufflepuff crowd.
