On the Gryffindor stands, Link was moving forward with difficulty.
Different from what Cedric and the others imagined, at this moment, Link actually didn't feel much dissatisfaction in his heart.
After all, Hermione was quite cute, it's just that Cedric and the others didn't recognize her worth.
Because not long ago, Link had saved Hermione the Gryffindor during the troll incident, his appearance on the Gryffindor stands as a Hufflepuff did not cause any dissatisfaction among the Gryffindors.
On the contrary, after Link explained his intention, a few kind-hearted Gryffindors even specially pointed out the direction for him.
Although there were many people here, and not everyone knew Hermione and Ron, to be honest, it really wasn't that difficult to help Link find the way.
Because the banner Hermione and Ron made this time to cheer for Harry was very special.
It actually couldn't even be called a banner, but rather a dirty duvet cover, with "Gryffindor Must Win" written on it in flashing magical paint, and under the words was a crookedly drawn lion.
The strange style of the banner left Link a little dumbfounded. If he really had to stand under that banner later and cheer for Harry, wouldn't that be too awkward?
For a moment, Link hesitated a little.
But at that moment, Hermione had already noticed Link and was frantically waving in this direction.
Seeing this, Link could only grit his teeth and walk over with determination.
"Oh my god! You really came!" Hermione grabbed Link's arm excitedly, the smile on her face as brilliant as the dazzling sunlight at the edge of the sky.
The others around her had similar expressions, even Ron, who was usually cold towards Link, was the same.
Everyone enthusiastically pulled Link into a seat, and at this time, the Gryffindor team also just happened to fly over from the Gryffindor stands.
"Oh! Gryffindor must win!!!"
"Harry, you're the fattest!!!"
"Go, go, go!!!"
In an instant, the entire Gryffindor stand exploded with cheers.
Even Hermione, who was usually the quietest, now had a flushed face, screaming hysterically.
Stimulated by the loud shouts, Link's heartbeat also involuntarily sped up.
This was a typical stand effect.
At the same time, the Quidditch match officially began.
The rules of Quidditch were actually very similar to traditional sports like basketball and football. Players could score points by getting the ball into the opponent's goal.
But what made Quidditch different was that, besides the scoring ball called the Quaffle, it also had two other kinds of balls.
The Golden Snitch and the Bludgers.
The existence of the Bludgers was quite unreasonable, they were actually made to fly around the field on their own to harass the players.
Moreover, players from both sides could control the direction of the Bludgers, making them attack the opposing players.
This part was really bad, honestly.
Because Quidditch was played on flying broomsticks in the air, being hit by a Bludger at that kind of flying speed definitely wouldn't be a good experience.
As for the Golden Snitch, that was even more outrageous.
You should know that Quidditch matches had no time limit, the only way to end the game was to catch the Golden Snitch.
This made it the most crucial ball in Quidditch. During the match, it would move around the field at a ridiculous speed.
The job of the Seeker was to catch the Golden Snitch. Once successful, the match would end, and the Seeker's team would instantly get 150 points.
Such a bizarre rule made all other positions in Quidditch become just background to the Seeker, which was also the reason Link thought Quidditch was very boring.
But no matter what Link thought, the match on the field continued.
Harry, as the Seeker, was doing his best to fulfill his duty, searching for the Golden Snitch.
But this process wasn't easy, because the Slytherin team kept targeting him, constantly throwing Bludgers at him, and also trying to bump into him.
Luckily, Harry's Nimbus 2000 had excellent performance, allowing him to fend off these attacks one by one.
But as the saying goes, if you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet, facing the Slytherins' intentional targeting, Harry eventually made a mistake and was fiercely hit by one of them.
Bang!
The impact was so strong that Harry, along with his broom, spiraled out of control and flew away.
Fortunately, Harry had been gripping the broom tightly the whole time, avoiding a tragic accident.
"Foul!"
Roars like a tidal wave erupted from the Gryffindor stands.
Everyone around Link had red faces, looking like they wanted to jump down and beat that Slytherin player up right there.
Unfortunately, no one actually acted on that thought, and the one who hit Harry only received a penalty of a free shot in front of the goal.
"Quidditch can be played like this?" Link asked in confusion.
In his view, someone who committed such a malicious foul and almost caused a fatal incident should be locked in Azkaban.
But Ron beside him just shook his head and said, "Although it's indeed outrageous, this is actually allowed. Last time during a match between the Irish team and the English team, an unlucky Irish Beater was knocked off his broom, rumor says he broke 21 bones, and all they got was a free shot too, not even medical expenses were covered."
Ron's words made Link click his tongue in disbelief and made his impression of Quidditch drop even further.
'How could such a messy game become the wizarding world's national sport?'
'Was it because wizards really didn't have many ways to entertain themselves? Or was it that wizards actually liked watching two teams fly in the sky and crash into each other, with blood and chaos, not following any rules?'
Link fell into confusion.
Just then, possibly because his broom was damaged by the previous collision, Harry in the sky suddenly started shaking violently.
This caused another round of gasps from the stands. Every Gryffindor present had their hearts in their throats.
You must know, their opponent this match was Slytherin, if they lost, then for the next few weeks Gryffindors wouldn't be able to lift their heads in front of Slytherins.
This was something they absolutely couldn't allow.
But unlike the Gryffindors around him, Link's attention at that moment wasn't on Harry, but on the Slytherin stands in the distance.
Over there, Snape was looking up at Harry, who was swaying in the air, and his mouth was opening and closing, it seemed like he was chanting a spell.
And at the same time, Hermione also noticed Snape's strange behavior.
She suddenly stood up and gritted her teeth, saying, "It's Snape. He's the one casting a dark spell on Harry."
