Quidditch Match

This week, Muya saw the first snow. The mountains surrounding the school were also covered in ice and snow. Every morning when Muya went to class, she could see Hagrid, bundled in a thick coat, de-icing the broomsticks on the Quidditch pitch.

However, the heads of the houses also learned that Dumbledore had become Muya's guardian. Although they were unwilling, they expressed their respect for Muya's decision.

Muya: No way! I actually didn't want any guardian at all!

One day, in the evening, Muya heard Sean tell them that their house would be playing against Ravenclaw tomorrow morning, and Gryffindor would play against Slytherin in the afternoon.

These past few days, Harry had been dragged to training by their captain, that senior named Wood. He told Muya that thankfully Hermione was there, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to finish so much homework.

Seeing how cold the weather was, the house-elves made some warm dishes, which the young wizards praised highly.

Muya decided to wear warmer clothes tomorrow morning and bring some snacks to eat.

After dinner, as Muya was preparing to leave, she suddenly saw Snape limping away from the Great Hall. She quickly followed.

"Professor, is your leg injured?" Muya walked up to Snape, crouching down to get a closer look at what was wrong with his leg.

"It's nothing," Snape flicked his robe and then picked Muya up. "Since Miss Mu is so concerned about her professor, you can help me make potions tonight." Snape revealed a wicked smile.

Muya: No, hehe.

"Ouch, Ya Mu is being taken to the dungeons by the Snake King again." Ron's head poked out, watching Snape and Muya's retreating figures, then chewed on the chicken in his mouth.

"So Ya Mu is even more miserable than I am." Harry began to pity Muya.

"Alright you two, Ron, you haven't finished your homework yet. Harry, you have a match tomorrow." Hermione returned to the common room, holding a few books.

Muya returned to the common room with a large pile of small bottles. Snape said these were some of his poorly brewed potions and told her to take them back to study.

Muya: I'm really speechless.

"Quick, quick, Ya Mu, time to get up!" Hannah patted Muya's quilt. Susan and Shalian were busy washing up.

"Mmm, Hannah, it's still early, isn't it?" Muya was forced to get up and rubbed her eyes.

"It's not early!" Hannah pushed Muya towards the washbasin.

When the four of them went to breakfast, there weren't many people left in the Great Hall. They quickly ate and rushed to the pitch.

Muya felt the milk sloshing around in her stomach. Well, it seemed they were late.

When they arrived, they saw Sean waving at them from the Hufflepuff spectator stands. "Looks like Sean saved us a good spot." Muya and the others walked over.

"Oh, you little wizards are really not enthusiastic. Luckily, I'm here." Sean patted the hat Muya was wearing.

"Thank you, Sean!" Muya thanked him sincerely.

"Thank you, Senior Sean!"

"Hahaha, you're welcome!" Sean's nose nearly twitched with pride.

"Calm down, they're about to take the field." Vester reached out and placed his book on Sean's head.

"Vester!"

Muya saw Cedric leading the Hufflepuff team and the Ravenclaw team onto the pitch. Everyone had a broom, and after seeing McGonagall's magic fireworks, they all mounted their brooms and flew into the sky.

"Very good, and now we see a Hufflepuff player score ten points for Hufflepuff right at the start!" The commentator sounded very excited.

"Beautiful! This Ravenclaw lady has scored a goal with precision!"

"Now, the Seekers for both teams are desperately chasing the Golden Snitch."

"Perfect defense!"

Muya saw Sean take out a banner. He pointed his wand at it, and the banner displayed "Hufflepuff Will Win!"

"Come on, help me hold it!" Sean handed one corner to Muya and the other to Vester.

Muya looked at the banner that suddenly appeared in her hand and silently took out her wand to make it float.

Then, they continued to cheer for the team.

Finally, it ended with Cedric catching the Golden Snitch, and the Hufflepuff students cheered loudly for Hufflepuff and Cedric.

After Cedric changed and came out, Muya handed him hot water. "You were amazing, Cedric."

"Thank you, Ya Mu." Cedric took it and smiled.

"Nice one, brother!" Sean came over and patted Cedric's back.

"A few seconds faster than last time." Vester closed his book and looked at Cedric.

"That's great! Does this mean our house has a chance to become the first place in the tournament?" Hannah and Susan hugged each other, jumping with joy.

In the afternoon, before the match began, Muya ran into Harry. "Hey, Harry, good luck with the match later!"

Harry pulled out a slightly awkward smile. "Okay, Ya Mu. By the way, congratulations to your house for winning the match."

Muya looked at Harry again and guessed, "Harry, are you nervous?"

Harry froze and scratched his head. "Is it that obvious?"

Muya said, "Super obvious!"

"Good luck, Harry, here, this is for you." Muya handed him a red string bracelet with a small wooden fish charm.

"What is this?" Harry asked.

"For safety, Harry," Muya patted his hand, then left.

Muya sat back in her morning seat. She saw that in the Gryffindor section, a huge banner shimmering with colorful lights hung above the Gryffindor seats.

"Oh, they're much cooler than what I made," Sean seemed to have some regrets.

As Harry and the others entered, the same cheers as in the morning sounded.

This match had Ms. Hooch as the referee. "Listen, I hope everyone can play fairly and honestly, just like this morning."

Then, everyone mounted their brooms and, at Ms. Hooch's whistle, flew into the sky together.

"Oh, the Quaffle was immediately snatched by Gryffindor's Angelina Johnson—that girl is such an outstanding Chaser, and also quite charming—" Ugh, why is the commentator acting so strange, Muya put her hand to her forehead.

"The Quaffle is passed to Johnson again, and then—oh dear, the Slytherin team stole the Quaffle, Slytherin team captain Marcus Flint got the Quaffle and flew off."

"Excellent, Gryffindor team keeper Wood made a beautiful save, intercepting the Quaffle."

The Golden Snitch suddenly appeared. Muya saw Harry quickly chase after it, but a Slytherin player bumped into Harry, almost causing him to lose his balance.

The Gryffindor students shouted, "Foul!"

Even Cedric, sitting next to Muya, frowned.

Ms. Hooch angrily reprimanded the Slytherin student and ordered Gryffindor to take a free shot in front of the goalposts. However, in the chaos, the Golden Snitch disappeared from sight again.
