In the heated Quidditch game, everyone in the stands was intently watching the fight on the field!
Seeing that the Slytherin team had sent three players to block Harry Potter, Light smiled faintly. 'Fortunately, I've made other arrangements.'
Since Gryffindor had a secret weapon, Slytherin miscalculated. Caught off guard, they lost points first.
Meanwhile, Light, knowing the game was in the bag, withdrew his gaze from the field and began to scan the stands.
He kept an eye out for anyone acting suspiciously, thinking to himself, "Voldemort, the host you've chosen should be here, right!"
At this time, on the field, Gryffindor and Slytherin were neck and neck, neither giving an inch.
To the horror of the Slytherin team, the opponents' shabby flying broomsticks could actually compete with the latest Firebolt 2001.
When the situation was right, Wood on the field immediately used Nitrous Boost to break through the defense and score.
"Good heavens! What's this? It accelerated in an instant. It's so powerful!" Jordan, the commentator, was still whooping it up for Gryffindor!
At the same time, cheers rang out from the Gryffindor stands.
As Wood started his maneuvers, the other players also accelerated the moment they got the ball, forcing their way past the goalkeepers to score.
Seeing this, the Slytherin captain had to pull back the players guarding Harry Potter to defend. When Gryffindor didn't have the ball, they frantically cut off the passes.
According to the pre - game strategy, they used the modified broomsticks to take the lead. Then, they tried their best to widen the score gap and draw attention.
This was to create opportunities for the Seeker to end the game before the broomsticks were worn out.
Similarly, Slytherin did act according to the plan. Facing the powerful offensive, they quickly pulled everyone back to deal with the cheat.
Knowing the plan, Harry Potter understood that time was running out. He kept circling the field, looking for the Golden Snitch.
Without any interference, Malfoy, the only other Seeker, was his only opponent.
But Harry Potter's modified third - gear Nimbus 2000 left Malfoy so far behind that he couldn't even catch the exhaust.
Just then, a Bludger suddenly turned in mid - air and smashed towards Harry Potter, who was flying at high speed.
Amid Jordan's exclamation, Harry Potter, who was moving at high speed, suddenly stopped short and narrowly avoided the Attack.
Strangely, the Bludger that had flown away suddenly made a sharp turn and continued to smash towards Harry Potter.
The change in the air caught Light's attention, even though he wasn't focused on the game at first.
Above the Quidditch field, Harry Potter dodged the oncoming Bludger with a thrilling upside - down maneuver.
In that instant, he saw a golden glint beside the passing Bludger.
Back on his broom, Harry Potter looked at the Bludger that was coming at him again after turning, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
There were the huge bets, the expectations of his teammates, and his own inner fears...
But at this moment, his desire for victory filled his mind.
Harry Potter took a deep breath and stared at the Golden Snitch with unwavering resolve.
Amid the gasps of the entire crowd, Harry Potter flew straight towards the oncoming Bludger.
Just as the Bludger was about to hit Harry Potter dashing towards at high speed...
Suddenly, Harry Potter leaned to one side. While dodging the Bludger, he reached out his hand and grabbed the Golden Snitch that was moving along with the Bludger.
At that moment, the entire Quidditch field fell silent for a moment. Then, the cheers of Gryffindor resounded across the field.
Just as Harry Potter held up the Golden Snitch in his hand, relishing the joy of victory!
While no one was noticing, the Bludger in the air didn't stop. It made a turn and continued to charge towards Harry Potter.
Just as the Bludger was about to hit Harry Potter and send him crashing to the ground.
An orange light flashed and hit the fast - moving Bludger dead - on.
Suddenly, the Bludger lost all its momentum and plummeted through the air like a useless hunk of junk.
Seeing this scene, Light eyed the wand in his hand with great satisfaction. The automatic tracking effect was so fast that it could accurately hit the Bludger.
'It can track fast - moving targets and lock on a group of targets. Good, very good!'
Light tore his admiring gaze away from the wand. Listening to the cheers around him, he looked at the Bludger on the ground that had been disabled by All Spells End.
'Not many people can tamper with the Bludger. At least the students can't do it. So it's very likely that it's the professors.'
'Come on! Light, Hermione, let's go find those Slytherin guys right now. Just thinking about their ugly expressions makes me excited!'
Ron's overjoyed voice woke Light up from his contemplation.
After roughly pinpointing his target, Light was just as excited to head backstage with Ron and Hermione.
Backstage, a group of grinning Gryffindor students blocked the glum - faced Slytherin students and started haggling!
When the three of Light arrived, they saw the Slytherin players reluctantly hand over the Firebolt 2001 in their hands to Gryffindor.
At this time, among the three newly - arrived Light, Ron shouted, 'Come on, Malfoy, you have to apologize to Hermione!'
This shout caught everyone's attention, and they wordlessly stepped aside.
Malfoy stood right in the middle of the path, his face beet - red!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he shuffled towards Hermione.
Standing in front of Hermione, his face went green then red. He stood there for ages before spitting out a few grudging words through his teeth.
'So...r...ry! I wa...s wrong!'
After saying that, Malfoy's face was all distorted!
With Ron's mischievous smile on his face, Hermione casually accepted Malfoy's apology.
After all the bets were settled, the Slytherins slunk off amid the cheers of the Gryffindors.
After getting Light's okay, Wood, who'd just got brand - new gear, hugged the Firebolt 2001 and let out a maniacal laugh.
Turning down the players' invite to celebrate, Light planned to directly suss out the professor who might have a Horcruxes.
Light wandered alone down the castle corridor. When he reached the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, he started banging on the door and yelling.
'Professor Lockhart! Are you in the office?'
Before long, a voice from inside the office called out that it was okay to enter.
When Light entered the office, he saw Lockhart sitting upright behind the desk with his hands resting at his sides, wearing a hearty smile on his face.
"Hello, student! What can I do for you? Do you want my autograph? I'd be more than happy to oblige."
As he spoke, he took out a colorful quill pen with his hand at his side.
"No, thanks! I've come here specifically to tell you something."
Hearing that the student didn't need an autograph, Lockhart's smile didn't seem as hearty anymore. He said rather reluctantly:
"All right! I wonder what it is that you want to talk to me about?"
Seeing Lockhart's somewhat forced smile, Light immediately understood that there must have been quite a few young wizards coming to him for 'guidance' recently.
