Chapter 1074

Climb, climb, climb again!

Hermione and Luna were shoulder to shoulder. They were almost next to each other. They both sprint straight up at a fast speed. Their hands moved forward almost at the same time, and the tip of their middle finger was only a few inches away from the Golden Snitch.

There is no doubt that this is a close match between the seeker and the most thrilling scene of the season.

Unfortunately, both of them rushed too high with the snitch. Under the bright sunshine, it is difficult for the teachers and students in the stands below to see their shrinking backs, not to mention the snitch who is being blocked by them at the moment.

However, at the moment when both of them could catch the snitch and become the terminator of the game, an accident happened!

In full view of the crowd, one of the two figures climbing almost perpendicular to the ground suddenly fell behind.

no It seems that she is not only backward, but also

"Stalled! She stalled!"

The announcer exclaimed loudly.

Yes, the stall of broom is rarely encountered in normal flight, but the possibility does not completely disappear with the improvement again and again.

If a broom flies too long at the highest speed it can reach, it will have a certain chance to change the magic structure inside the broom because some of the magic spells fixed in it run excessively.

Of course, with generations of broom craftsmen improving the design of brooms, the probability of this situation has decreased to a very low level.

At least in the Quidditch field for more than ten years, we can hardly see this kind of stall accident.

"Is that... Luna?"

Maka looked up at the blue sky. He could see that the falling figure was obviously Luna with long light golden hair.

Even for this competition, she had tied her hair hastily, but it still drifted around her under the strong wind in the high air.

Just as she grabbed the broom and fell down, the dazzling sun shone brilliantly on her scattered blonde hair.

For Luna's stall crash, although Maka was surprised at the beginning, she was not too worried. After all, even if someone falls from a higher place, he can guarantee to catch the other person safely.

You know, before long, Maka may become the first man in the world to connect a meteorite!

However, when he quickly took out his staff and was ready to cast a floating spell for Luna. But he suddenly put down the staff he had just lifted and gently leaned on the floor of the grandstand.

Then he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"Oh! She doesn't seem to need my help."

……

"Luna!"

In fact, just seconds after Luna's broom stalled, Hermione, who was sprinting with her, found that there was no one around her.

It's just that they were too fast at that time!

Even if Hermione didn't find it late, when she subconsciously looked back, she saw that she had been a long distance from Luna.

Suddenly, Hermione just habitually glanced at the Golden Snitch above, and resolutely turned the broomstick handle to dive away.

She read about the problem of broom stall in Quidditch tracing. This situation was not uncommon in the competition more than ten years ago, so there were always a few security officers on standby at that time.

Once the stall fault of the flying broom occurs, it must not be recovered in a short time. If she doesn't save Luna, she will have to wait for the professor in the stands or Marca to rescue her.

To tell the truth, just because Marca is also watching the game in the stands today, Hermione is actually very relieved.

After she found that Luna stalled, she thought of Maka for a moment, and... She believed that Maka would be much safer to save Luna than she would go back to save her.

But even so, can she stop helping Luna?

The answer is clearly no.

Just as the lightning thoughts suddenly flowed through Hermione's mind, her body moved faster than her mind. In a twinkling of an eye, she had turned back and dived to Luna's side.

"Wow - ha ha ha ha ha"

Hermione didn't understand why Luna laughed, and she smiled so magically. I saw her holding the broom in one hand, stretching her limbs, laughing and falling away.

It seems that she still feels that falling freely from high altitude is a very happy thing!

"Luna! Stop laughing!"

Hearing each other's inexplicable happy laughter, Hermione couldn't help but feel a little helpless on her face - she suddenly felt a little unwilling to save her.

Oh, all right! That's what she thought.

"Grab my hand -- sit behind me --"

Hermione shouted loudly in the strong wind of the dive and reached Luna's arm. After seeing her coming down to pick herself up, Luna didn't continue to laugh and honestly put her hand out.

After several empty swings, the two hands finally held tightly together.

"Come up!"

When Hermione dragged hard, she controlled the broom under her body and spun violently, making Luna sit firmly on the broom handle behind her.

At that time, the flying broom that came horizontally to pick up Luna suddenly sank because it suddenly carried two people, and then it stabilized again.

"Pause - the game is suspended!"

In the field below, Mrs. Hodge shouted to interrupt the game with a loud reinforcement spell, which can still be vaguely heard even at such a high place.

So Hermione took Luna and hovered slightly in mid air. Then she pressed down the broom handle again and gradually went down to the field.

During the landing, Luna, with an excited smile on her face, held Hermione's waist and shouted:

"Hermione! It was so windy when I fell down just now! It was like flying with me - that felt great! I think you should try it too!"

"I don't want to break into patties!" Hermione replied loudly.

But Luna didn't seem to get out of the pleasure of falling, and then said again:

"It's all right! I'll follow you then! You can try it later!"

After they both rode on a broom and landed safely on the ground, the members of the two teams who had already returned to the ground hurriedly surrounded them.

At this time, many people, including Professor Marka and Professor McGonagall, gathered in the field.

"Aren't you hurt? Is there any pain?"

Ginny and Qiu came forward to hold Hermione and Luna respectively and checked them up and down. Even though they said nothing, they insisted on letting them go after the inspection.

"I'm really fine! I think Luna should be fine too - we didn't hit anywhere when I caught her." Hermione waved her hand again and again. "HMM... so did Mrs. Hodge interrupt the game just now? Luna, you change a broom and let's continue!"

But soon, Luna, who was receiving Qiu's care, stretched out her hand and said with extra seriousness:

"If you didn't choose to save me, you must have caught the snitch now! I don't think it's necessary to compare. I lost -"

For Luna's two words, everyone present did not say a word. Including Qiu Zhang, the captain of Ravenclaw, and all the players behind her, didn't say anything.

On the Gryffindor side, Ginny and others did not open their mouth, but it was because their position seemed not suitable to express their opinions.

But just then Hermione said solemnly:

"No! You can't say that - you lost your competitiveness because your broom stalled. If it weren't for this accident, who could catch the snitch first!"

At this point, she gave a little meal, but then turned to say:

"What's more, according to the Quidditch competition regulations, the broom stall belongs to the failure of competition equipment. According to section 3 of Article 52 of the Quidditch competition regulations, the scores after equipment failure are cleared. Even if the competition is over, we have to arrange overtime!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Luna was stunned by Hermione. After listening, she turned her head and looked at Mrs. Hodge not far away.

"Well, Miss Granger is right." Mrs. Hodge nodded, but then said, "however, this is only the Quidditch World Cup regulations. Many regional competitions also have unclear points, so they directly continue to change the rules of the schedule."

Although Hermione has read a lot of books, before this year, she basically didn't pay special attention to Quidditch events, let alone the rules of regional small competitions.

After hearing what Mrs. Hodge said, she couldn't help nodding clearly.

"At least, there must be no direct distribution!" Hermione reiterated to Luna.

Hearing the speech, Luna tilted her head and pondered awkwardly for a moment, but then turned her head and said:

"Anyway, I just can't compare!"

After that, she gently pulled Rachel's hand, then turned and drilled into the crowd. In everyone's surprise, she ran around in the crowd like a small fish, and finally hid behind Maka.

"Hey! Even if you're thanking Hermione, she won't agree?" Marca looked back at her and said, "don't hide, she's already next to you!"

"Eh?"

Luna immediately turned her head, looked at Hermione who appeared beside her and said:

"When I was a child, my mother always said I was very good at hide and seek. Why did you find me so soon?"

With that, before Hermione could answer, she pulled Marca's arm and pushed him in front of Hermione.

"He's yours tonight!"

"Ah?"

Marca is stupid.
