A week after Gryffindor's victory over Slytherin, the second Quidditch match began.
Normally, the most watched match in the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup was Gryffindor versus Slytherin, because the match between the two rival Houses was the fiercest and most interesting.
However, this time, this convention was overturned.
This match was between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, but the audience was much larger than the previous one. Many girls who didn't like to watch Quidditch games actively participated, and the crowd made the Quidditch stands much noisier than usual.
This was because this match was the first Quidditch match that Ye Ting, the publicly acknowledged male god of Hogwarts, had participated in.
Looking around, all the stands had turned into a sea of blue and bronze. The girls held up banners with Ye Ting's name. Because of Ye Ting, Ravenclaw was unprecedentedly popular, except for some Hufflepuffs and Slytherins, the former supporting their House and the latter due to pureblood discrimination against Muggles.
But no matter what, the Ravenclaw players still basked in the glory. They proudly followed Ye Ting into the stadium, waving to the surroundings and welcoming waves of cheers.
"It makes me feel like I'm at the Quidditch World Cup.”Zhang Qiu whispered in Ye Ting's ear, looking a little angry. She probably thought," Ye Ting is mine alone, you coquettish sluts, stop shouting.
Captain of Hufflepuff was Seeker Cedric Diggory, a tall, handsome boy who was also prefect of Hufflepuff.
Before Ye Ting entered Hogwarts, he was one of the most popular boys in the school. He was outstanding in appearance, academics, and sports.
Of course, in the original novel, Diggory became Cho's boyfriend in Harry's fourth year-Cho, coincidentally, was now facing him as Ravenclaw's Seeker-but that was unlikely to happen again.
After Madam Hooch's whistle, both sides took to the air at the same time, and the match officially began.
With his super fast reflexes, Ye Ting grabbed the Quaffle that was thrown high in the air and nimbly dodged the contender.
The next moment, he was like a bolt of lightning, instantly increasing his speed to the limit. Before the Hufflepuff players could react, Ye Ting had already rushed into the goal area.
Only the goalkeeper subconsciously flew forward to intercept, but it was already too late.
The Quaffle whizzed into the center goal under the force of inertia and arm strength.
Ye Ting turned around and left, leaving behind the dumbfounded goalkeeper.
Lee Jordan's rhythmic commentary came from the stands."Nice fast break-Ravenclaw scores-by Ravenclaw's new Chaser, our heartthrob,'Ye Ting'-he's so fast he's unbeatable-I wonder why he's not a Seeker-the Hufflepuff Keeper hasn't realized it yet-he must be thinking: " What just happened? Am I still asleep? Oh! Even better, it was less than ten seconds into the game when Ravenclaw scored, the fastest goal I've ever seen.”
With a score in the first ten seconds of the game, the audience in the stands was immediately ignited. Screams and cheers mixed with the shouts of " Ye Ting " seemed to overturn the entire audience.
Ye Ting could see Hermione and Penelope cheering loudly in the Ravenclaw stands, and Harry, Ron, and Hagrid in the Gryffindor stands were cheering for him too, both of whom had taken a liking to Ye Ting ever since he had saved Harry in the match.
"His speed is too fast. We need someone to focus on marking him.”Diggory's expression was a little ugly. Ye Ting had just appeared and had already given them a show of strength. This caught him off guard and he had to change his tactics at the last minute.
However, they soon realized that they could not do anything to a true expert by relying on individual marking.
After Hufflepuff's serve, the Quaffle was passed from Chaser to Chaser. The Hufflepuffs were ready to divert their opponent's attention by passing the ball, thus opening up the opponent's defensive line.
Such a passing tactic was effective, but it had a high requirement for the tacit understanding of the players, because such frequent passes were easy to make mistakes.
The Hufflepuff team members had a tacit understanding, but they were not professional enough, so Ye Ting quickly caught their flaws.
When one of the Chasers was about to pass the Quaffle to another player, the distance between the two players was slightly widened due to a slight mistake in coordination, which left Ye Ting with an opportunity.
Jordan was still chattering on and on.""Hufflepuffs passed the ball to each other tacitly, looking for an opportunity to attack. Oh! They threw the Bludger hard at Ye Ting of Ravenclaw-nice-and dodged it with a simple tilt of their heads, very cool. Oh! Heavens, what did I just see? Stealed-Hufflepuff stolen-who did it? Ye Ting again! He's got a clean tackle on Hufflepuff's Quaffle with a single burst of speed, I've never seen a clean tackle like that-"
There was no need for Lee Jordan's hoarse commentary. The young wizards in the stands exclaimed, and everyone stared at the black-blue lightning.
