Upon hearing Lee Jordan's explanation, Wizet immediately began searching for Cedric's trail, while simultaneously using his Magic Eye to pinpoint the Golden Snitch's exact location.

He discovered that there was no trace of the Golden Snitch in the direction Cedric was chasing.

"This is a trap!" Wizet immediately judged, looking in the opposite direction from Cedric, where the Ravenclaw goalposts were not far away.

Sure enough, the Golden Snitch stopped there, drawing zigzag lines in the air.

The Golden Snitch is a magical artifact modeled after the Golden Snitch, and it also inherits some of the Golden Snitch's habits, such as being able to stay in the air for a short period of time.

The Seeker also use this brief pause to pinpoint the Golden Snitch Golden Snitch's exact location.

Cedric's initial move was actually one of the strategies employed by the Seeker from the stronger side.

By using feints to confuse the opponent, and once the opponent is misled, suddenly change direction and accelerate to catch the Golden Snitch unexpectedly.

"Why is Wizet suddenly flying towards his own goalpost?" Lee Jordan suddenly noticed the unusual movement. "He looks like he's about to shoot?"

"Wait! That's our own goalpost! They'll calculate the points for Hufflepuff! Wizet raised his hand... He really wanted to throw the Quaffle at his own goalpost!"

Arsenal was also somewhat puzzled, but out of trust in his teammates, he didn't say anything, but simply focused his attention and was ready to coordinate with Wizet at any time.

Wizet let out a soft breath and shouted loudly at Cho Chang, "Cho! Goalpost! Goalpost!"

Cho Chang instinctively turned his head to look, and did not continue to chase Cedric's Flying Broomstick.

She noticed the golden glint of the Golden Snitch next to her own doorpost.

"Oh no!"

Cedric felt a chill run down his spine. He instantly understood what Wizet was talking about, and immediately turned the broom handle around and rushed towards the Ravenclaw goalpost.

"Oh! Merlin's beard!" Lee Jordan exclaimed upon hearing Wizet's shout. "The Golden Snitch was in the opposite direction! Cedric was just feinting!"

"But Cho Chang is closer; she's near the goalpost! She might be able to... catch the Golden Snitch even better than Cedric!"

The audience's hearts were in their throats as they watched Cho Chang and Cedric, wondering who would catch the Golden Snitch.

If Cedric catches the Golden Snitch, the score will be completely reversed, Hufflepuff will achieve final victory.

Wizet cast the Guardian Meditation, her gaze constantly shifting between four directions: Cho Chang, Cedric, the goalpost, the Golden Snitch...

The Golden Snitch will fly away immediately once the Seeker gets close;

Extending this line of sight based on Cho Chang's flight angle, the Golden Snitch is most likely to fly towards Cedric;

In that case, Cedric will probably catch the Golden Snitch!

The turning point is the Quaffle in my hand!

Wizet let out a long breath, channeled Ancient Magic Power into the Quaffle, and then hurled it away!

Ancient Magic: Throwing Mastery

The Quaffle, launched with a whooshing sound, arrived in front of Arsenal in the blink of an eye.

Judging from the trajectory of the Quaffle, Arsenal can be certain that Wizet's target was not his own goal circle, but rather the goalpost below it.

He vaguely guessed what Wizet was going to do and murmured, "Can she really do something like that?"

Under his expectant gaze, the Quaffle, like a red lightning bolt, struck the goalpost and instantly bounced off in another direction.

"Wizet seems to have other plans... the Quaffle hit the post..." Lee Jordan said hesitantly.

He then looked to the other side, his tone becoming more impassioned, "Cedric is very close to the Golden Snitch! But Cho Chang is even faster!"

"The Golden Snitch has escaped! He's heading towards Cedric! Merlin's flowery shorts! What a rollercoaster of a match! Cedric is probably going to catch the Golden Snitch!"

A collective sigh rippled through the Ravenclaw stands.

Just as Wizet had predicted, the Golden Snitch, sensing Cho Chang's approach, panicked and chose to fly towards Cedric's direction.

Wizet's attention was entirely focused on the Quaffle, constantly channeling the Ancient Magic Power within it to subtly correct its Quaffle until...

"Let's congratulate Hufflepuff on their victory..." Lee Jordan rattled off, then suddenly paused, "Quaffle!"

"Hufflepuff... Cedric has got a Quaffle! The Golden Snitch is now... in Cho Chang's hands! She's caught the Golden Snitch!"

"Match over! The final score is 320 to 40! Ravenclaw has won the opening match! Congratulations to Ravenclaw!"

However, he was still a bit confused and quickly asked, "Professor Flitwick, what exactly happened just now?"

His attention was focused on Cedric, and he didn't notice when the Quaffle appeared.

The Ravenclaw stands erupted in cheers, a deafening roar, with many students standing up and waving their arms as they chanted Wizet's name.

"Ravenclaw! Ravenclaw!" Filius Flitwick shouted.

He raised his wand, which conjured countless colorful ribbons that fluttered freely across the Quidditch Pitch.

When he heard Lee Jordan's question, he put down his wand, coughed lightly, and tried to suppress the excitement in his voice, making his voice as calm as possible.

"Wizet's Quaffle hit the goalpost, struck the goalpost, and bounced off!" he gestured exaggeratedly.

"That hit the Golden Snitch! It's unbelievable, I've never seen this kind of fighting style before! It's simply incredible!"

A commotion arose in the crowd, followed by shouts for Wizet growing louder and louder, echoing throughout Quidditch.

"This..." Lee Jordan swallowed hard. "Is this luck or skill...? Anyway! Let's congratulate Ravenclaw once again! Incredible Ravenclaw!"

As soon as Wizet returned to the ground, his teammates rushed towards him, their faces beaming with uncontainable joy.

They desperately need a victory.

A house with a lounge high up and an eagle as its emblem, yet its Quidditch results are consistently the worst...

This is simply unacceptable for Ravenclaw.

Ravenclaw's students also gathered around, and Wizet was lifted high by them like a newly crowned hero, and they escorted him off the field.

If they weren't worried about Wizet falling, they would have carried Wizet across the snow-covered grass into the Ravenclaw Common Room.

Back in the lounge, Wizet checked the time again.

It's not even 1 p. m. yet, he still has time to take a nap before attending Quirrell's private lessons...
