Chapter 138 Britain Vs America (Catching Insects)
After a while, Joe (now in Harley's face) emerged, with a suspicious flush on his cheeks that made Damian want him so badly - did something kinky in the dressing room to get it Make your face blush like this.
Harry didn't think much of it, he was already in Joe's hoodie and ripped jeans - not the one with the red cape, of course, but his Joe's "superhero" uniform.
But seeing that she could still make such a shy expression, Harry was still not used to it.
She patted "myself" on the shoulder, wow, it feels so good to grow taller!The air is more fresh!
"Thank you for helping me think of avoiding suspicion, thank you."
But Joe dared not look up at her.
"I don't care if you understand the rules of Quidditch or not, you just have to remember that you have only one goal - to catch that winged, golden ball the size of an egg." Snape gripped Joe's shoulders , pulled him over, lowered his head and gestured to him the size of the Snitch, "You don't have to do what other players are doing on the field, as long as you can catch this small ball, the game is over, and we can all send one Tone."
"By the way, you also have to avoid any balls or people that are thrown at you. If the Bludger hits you, not only will you not be thrown off the broom, but the iron Bludger will be knocked out of shape. We There is no way to explain it."
Joe really wanted to ask what Bludgers were, but the scary sight of the professor in black made him stop the car in time.
"I remember you have super vision? Clairvoyance?" Snape added after thinking for a while.
Joe nodded, the blush on his face finally starting to fade - mostly from Damian's stare.
Snape took a second to think about it. Although this plan of stealing the beam and changing posts protected Harry, would the team of his British alma mater be tortured and cry?After all, if the trumpet Superman's horsepower is fully activated, he might be able to directly break the record for catching the snitch the fastest.
Forget it, compared to the safety of the Potter girl, the result of an exhibition match is not important at all, and there are not many players from Slytherin anyway.
"Don't catch the Snitch too soon, it will raise unnecessary suspicion, even if you saw it as soon as you came in," he told Joe. "Waste at least half an hour, flying in the air. Then grab it, and end the game quickly."
He really didn't think Diggory, the current Seeker at Hogwarts, could catch it in half an hour.
"I'm sorry, I let you go for nothing, but I didn't play." Harry said regretfully to Damian, facing Joe's face.
Through these blue eyes, Harry's gentle eyes can still make Damian vaguely see the shadow of the girl.
He wanted to comfort her softly - he was very happy to see her, and it really didn't matter whether he watched the game or not.Moreover, according to the information he collected, the sport of Quidditch is really quite dangerous.
But when he saw the face that belonged to Joe, and the height that was almost at eye level with him (Damian finally got his shame in the past two years, and his height surpassed that of Joe, who was three years younger than himself), he really couldn't open his eyes. speak...
He had to say it again—magic was so twisted!
So Damian just nodded, with a very weird expression - tried to squeeze a reassuring smile, but changed it into a serious frown temporarily.After briefly saying "It's okay" to Harry, he turned around decisively and walked out of the tent with the lead.
Harry tilted his head behind the boy, did he look so strange?So how do you pretend to be a boy?
Damian couldn’t have shown a troubled expression because Joe was ugly, Harry was [-]% sure—because Joe wasn’t ugly, he had genes from his handsome Superman father and glamorous Aunt Louise, and Joe almost knew Harley There is no one of the most beautiful boys.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Damian is not good-looking-the two have different styles.
So Harley didn't have any resistance at all to becoming Little Joe. I don't know what kind of nerves Damian got wrong again. Harry shrugged and chased him out——
Actually...it's really...feeling good not to play a game!Then she can sit in the premium box with Damian and concentrate on watching the game. Is this similar to a date? Thinking about it makes me happy.
But Harry's enthusiasm was extinguished by Damian's cold words——
"Don't... walk and run in Harry's posture... and don't get so close to me, let alone hold my arm, I don't want to be misunderstood..." Damian said to Harry.
But he added just in time before Harry showed a frustrated expression, with a gentle tone, but still kept an arm's length between the two, "We'll talk about it when you transform back, okay?"
Harry drooped his shoulders, nodded, and the little black curly hair on his forehead trembled.
On the other side, Joe also collected himself, and accompanied by Harry, Damian and the Potions Professor, he rejoined the team members who had gathered in a pile.They looked nervous, discussing something seriously.
"Hey, Halle! Look—Coach Smith got the broom." Jennifer shook the new broom in Joe's hand, "The team just eliminated Starsweep 16 last year."
Let's make up.Harry nodded quietly to Joe who secretly turned around to ask for advice. For most ordinary American wizard families, the Star Sweep 16 is still one of the rare brooms.
"But we have a problem now," said Coach Smith seriously. "There are only six Star Sweeps 16, and one of us must use the only remaining spare broom—Star Sweep No. 6."
"Star Sweep No. 1? Can it go to the sky?" Paul shouted in surprise, "This broom is older than me!"
Coach Smith was obviously also very helpless, he spread his hands, "At least it is the classic work of the Star Scan Company that launched the brand..."
This is so unconvincing.The Nimbus 1000 is still a classic from Nimbus, and it's in a museum now! *
"It's okay, just give it to me." Joe said confidently as he reached out his hand to Coach Smith, receiving Halle's winking and beckoning eyes.
Anyway, for him, a broom can only sweep the floor, it is no different from taking a branch to play.
"How can this be done? With such a broken broom, it is impossible for anyone to use it as the Seeker's turn, unless we don't want to win." Captain Jennifer protested.
"I'm good at technology? Don't worry, just give it to me."
The team members looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking about a better solution - to no avail.Probably except for Harley, no one really can control a handful of old antiques, and in the end they can only follow her wishes.
At this time, it is close to the game time, and the players need to take a final rest - eat some energy bars, warm up and so on.
Harley and Damian were forced to separate from Joe. Of course, when Joe followed the players to the court, his eyes looked back and forth with obvious panic and uneasiness.
On the contrary, Harry and Damian happily followed the flow of spectators, walked through the woods, and walked to the stadium.
Along the way, they also saw many apparitions, vendors who descended from the sky, carrying trays and pushing carts full of strange things.There are illuminated rosettes - red, white and blue for the United States, red, white and yellow for Great Britain - and screech the names of the players, of course official national team members; The tall hat has an American bald eagle with flapping wings; there is a British ribbon, and on the red and white plaid, a golden dragon is printed playing with a Quaffle. *
There are also statues of famous players for collection, which can walk around in your hands with a proud look. *
Damian wasn't interested in any of that, but Harry bought some anyway and said he was going to keep it for Joe...
As for the panoramic binoculars, which have the functions of replaying pictures, playing in slow motion, and analyzing the game situation, Halle still bought three at once, what if they can really make it to the finals?Of course, this is just a beautiful dream that cannot be realized...
It didn't take long for them to see a corner of the magnificent golden wall of the stadium, and they were shrouded in the huge shadow of the stadium. Damian was stunned at this moment, he really didn't expect the stadium to be so big.
Their tickets were the first-class tickets at the highest point. Harry took Damian up the stairs, and walked on the stairs covered with purple carpets. The people around them slowly entered the left and right stands respectively.A small group of people, including Damian and Halle, walked up to the top floor, and the two sat in a private room. This is indeed the highest point of the entire stadium, with a very good view, and it is facing the golden goalpost.
At this time, a large blackboard in the stadium that seemed to have two hands writing on it erased the original advertisement for multi-flavored beans, and now it displayed "Hogwarts: 0, Ilvermorny: 0".
The other high-rise stand opposite Harry and the others seemed to be the seat of an official from the Ministry of Magic. At this moment, an official stood up——Harry saw it with a telescope, it was helping them to check the Hogwarts team members today Wand's Athletic Director Ludo Bagman.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the 422nd Quidditch World Cup!" He pointed his wand to his throat, and his booming voice could be heard throughout the pitch.
Deafening cheers and applause erupted in the arena. Thousands of blue-red and white-red flags were waved simultaneously, accompanied by the national anthems of the United Kingdom and the United States, which was very lively.
"Today is the quarter-finals between England and the United States! Long story short, everyone must know what we have innovated this year. So, now, please allow me to introduce to you-the Ilvermorny Junior Varsity Team from the United States! "
Damian politely applauded boredly, watching figures in blue and white uniforms fly into the arena—anyway, the "Harry" on the arena was fake, but the real one was sitting next to him, with Joe's head on his back. Face.
But European audiences don’t know that this Harry Potter is fake. At this time, the narrator in the arena was also replaced by a student——Harry saw through a telescope that it was a black boy with an afro .
According to the self-introduction of the black boy, his name is Lee Jordan, and he introduced the teammates who entered the field one by one in a passionate tone.
And when he called Harry's name, the ending turned into a piercing scream——
More than half of the audience in the arena began to discuss loudly, stood up, held up binoculars, and leaned on the railing, trying to see Harley's appearance clearly.Suddenly the stadium lost order.
Damian also heard a gruff voice from a man in the next room protesting why the stadium couldn't have a big screen built like the Muggles so he could see Harry Potter's face clearly.
"What's the situation?" Damian frowned and asked Harry, who was also stunned.
Fake Little Joe scratched her head and shrugged awkwardly, "I... No, Halle is too famous in England?"
The British Hogwarts youth team was forced to appear in this atmosphere that was completely ignored. Even the commentator Lee Jordan, who also came from Hogwarts, missed a few names.
Harry locked the binoculars on Joe, and found that although his flying posture was weird, at least he looked like he was "sitting" on a broomstick—not the "Superman" posture with his hands stretched out straight.
It must have been very hard with the broom... Harry silently sympathized with Joe.
And Joe's acting skills are indeed not good, and Harley can see that he has been trying hard to prevent himself from looking in the direction of the Golden Snitch - he really found the little golden ball as soon as he entered the arena.
"Harry Potter is indeed a rare talent in a century!" Lee Jordan was very excited, and he kept saying "The Girl Who Lived" in the opening 5 minutes. At this time, he had just popularized Take a look at the history of modern magic in Europe, including Harley's "feat".
"Who else but her can put a broom—I don't know what kind of broom that is—God! Is that Star Sweep No. 1?! Merlin's toenails! Who can put a broom that should be buried in the ground? Xingsao No. 1 rides at a speed of fire! Did you see it, Krum?"
"Sorry, the poster next to my bed has to be replaced, Krum! I will sleep with Harry Potter in the future! We finally have a female player with good skills and a hot body! Thank you Merlin! I have been playing for ten years My prayers finally worked! I was once so jealous of my Muggle classmate in the Gryffindor dormitory who had a picture of the tennis player Sharapova in a tiny skirt on his bed! - yes, I remember Her name! So hot, who can't remember?—and I have only Krum staring at me at the head of my bed."
"This illustrates a point I've always held - really good talent doesn't need a high-end broom!"
"Okay...the broom company sponsor is right behind me, pointing his wand at my ass and he's going to jinx me if I go any further - let me taste what a month's worth of hemorrhoids are Taste', these are his exact words. To avoid suspicion, I will not mention the name of this company."
"Okay, he poked me a few more times with his wand. All I can say is, your company broom that our team uses is obviously useless - wow!"
"All in all... hiss... for 90.00% of ordinary people, the performance of the broom still plays an important role... isn't that okay?"
"Well, to save my ass - the performance of the broom is the core of a team's success! Satisfied?"
