Chapter 297 This is our school's most agile professor.
"First up is Harry Potter from Gryffindor! He's an experienced Seeker on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and even won last year's Quidditch Championship!"
"Therefore, it's fair to say that he's practically the most skilled flyer student in all of Hogwarts!"
Introduced by Li Jordan, Harry, dressed in Quidditch attire and carrying a broom, walked out. He looked at the somewhat gloomy sky, took a deep breath, and then smiled.
He didn't seem nervous at all; in fact, he seemed a little excited—after all, this was his first time fighting in the air on a broomstick.
He waved to the students in the audience, looking just like he was entering a Quidditch match.
After the cheers subsided, Lee Jordan coughed and said, "And his opponent is Mr. Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff! He's played for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team for many years, serving as both captain and Seeker!"
Cedric's popularity seems to be quite high as well, with the cheers he received were no less than those for Harry.
He was also dressed in a Quidditch outfit, but looked more serious. He pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and instead of raising his hand, gripped his broom and walked to the edge of the field.
As the contestants took their positions, Li Qiaodan gently patted the microphone and announced, "Next, please welcome our referees, the aerial referee team comprised of Professor Huo Qi and Professor Hamilton!"
"Whoosh!"
Almost as if a gust of wind had swept by, Professor Hooch, accompanied by Loila, sped from the sidelines on a broomstick, swooping down around the entire Quidditch pitch before slowly landing among the students.
"Ugh————"
Amidst the cheers of the students, Loila fought back nausea, feeling as if she were about to throw up her entire dinner from the previous night.
What is all this about? Why do I have to suffer like this?!
Loila wished she could slap her past self twice, to wake her up from her self-challenge.
I could never ride a broomstick!
The others, of course, were unaware of Loila's thoughts, and they applauded the two professors as they appeared.
Mrs. Hooch nodded slightly and then picked up her whistle.
"Whoosh!"
As the whistle blew, both students flipped themselves onto brooms and slowly lifted off the ground.
Then, immediately afterward, Mrs. Hotchki raised her right hand and flicked it.
"Whoosh!" Harry and Cedric flew straight up with her movement, turning into two white streaks in the air.
It has to be said that Harry really had no experience fighting on a broomstick, and he didn't know why he always drew these strange lotteries.
There were water battles and aerial battles—although he was very good at riding brooms, he found that using a wand on a broom was very difficult once he took to the air.
Unlike Quidditch, where whoever charges ahead has the advantage, aerial combat seems to be more about getting behind the opponent.
Attacking from behind is much more advantageous than turning around to attack from the front.
Therefore, as soon as Harry took off, he immediately slowed down slightly and headed straight for Cedric's back.
"Expelliarmus!" Cedric swung the spell, which hurtled toward Harry, but because it was a high-mobility aerial battle, the chances of the spell hitting Harry were almost zero.
He didn't even dodge; he simply accelerated to avoid it and then circled around to Cedric's back.
The two chased each other through the air like in a Quidditch match, except Harry was the Seeker and Cedric was the Golden Snitch.
"Disarm you!"
Harry's spells kept coming from behind, and Cedric quickly changed positions left and right. He was also good at Quidditch, so he could dodge and fight back at the same time, but because his tail was bitten, his attacks were much harder to hit.
He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!
Harry unleashed another spell, a red light shooting straight at Cedric's back, but he deflected it with a flick of his tail.
Cedric realized the disadvantage of being caught by the tail and frantically tried to get behind Harry, but Harry gritted his teeth and accelerated as well, not wanting to be left behind by Cedric.
The two Quidditch masters spun and chased each other in the air, looking even more exciting than a Quidditch match.
Meanwhile, the highly skilled Professor Huo Qi easily followed behind them, constantly observing whether any contestant was in danger.
And sitting behind her was Loila—
Um----
After the chase, she had completely lost her senses. Her half-open eyes stared blankly ahead, and she herself didn't know what she was thinking.
Wow, so tall! — So people are all that small?
It must hurt a lot to fall from here, right?
Ah—maybe not. It'll probably just shatter into pieces.
That cloud looks like Muller—Muller, are you here to pick me up?
"Whoosh!"
The broom suddenly jerked upwards, as if the two students were chasing each other and flying vertically into the air. To keep up with their movements, Professor Huo Qi immediately pulled the broom up vertically as well.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness jolted Loila awake. She shook her head and immediately hugged Professor Huo Qi tightly.
"What is this—what is this supposed to do?!" she couldn't help but ask in a shrill voice.
"Those two are climbing at high speed, of course we have to catch up with them!" Professor Huo Qi explained casually, adding, "Did you see that just now? It was quite a thrilling race!"
What competition?! I didn't even glance at it!
Clinging to Professor Hochi's back, Loila barely opened her eyes. What came into view was her robe fluttering in the wind, and two students chasing after her.
That's amazing! Mr. Diggory and Mr. Potter, they've mastered this thing so well! And it's flying farther and farther away!
Could this duel possibly defeat the castle?
Wait a minute—why isn't Professor Huo Qi following along?
They're about to become two tiny dots! Professor Huo Qi?!
Ok?
Loila suddenly noticed something and patted Professor Hochi in front of her.
At some point, Professor Huo Qi suddenly stopped moving. She didn't speak or change direction. Even though the students were almost out of sight, Professor Huo Qi continued to climb into the air.
What are you trying to do?!
"Professor Hodge!" Loila shook her, her hand trembling. "What's wrong with you?!"
"————" Silence answered her, and as she swayed, Professor Huo Qi's body tilted and fell directly down from the front.
"Huh? Professor Huo Qi?!"
Before Roy could grab her with his wand, he saw the unmanned broom tilt and fall from the sky.
Hey!
We're thousands of feet in the air!
I already told you you can't drink alcohol while riding a broom!
