Even My Grandma Could Win the Championship Playing with William
Five years later, they've reached the finals again.
The entire Hufflepuff group was jubilant, as if it were New Year's Day.
It's no wonder the badgers were so excited; the last time they made it to the finals was back when William was in second grade.
In the words of the old badgers:
Back then, Stark was just starting out; he wasn't the formidable villain he is today.
That year, Potter had just started school and was still a freshman.
That year, Slytherin was in a state of decline, beginning a long period of infighting among the weaker members...
And what about Hufflepuff?
They were a strong and experienced force... and just the year before, they had faced off against Charlie's Foolish Lions in the finals.
Looking around, how lonely it is to be invincible...
Unfortunately, Stark appeared.
He single-handedly led his team, a fourth-rate team that had been at the bottom for nine years... First, he slew the snake's head, then he crushed the golden lion, and finally he overpowered the honey badger, achieving legendary status in one battle.
I thought Hufflepuff was just unlucky and had a tragic fate, but I never imagined that it would be their final performance.
Since then, every year has been the most promising year, yet we still haven't even reached the finals.
Five years!
Do you know what we've been through these past five years?!
(Gritting his teeth!!)
Fortunately, Hufflepuff has finally risen from the ashes and reached its peak again, ready to fearlessly create heroes.
Although the one blocking the way was still the Stark, still that Ravenclaw.
But after so many years of decline, the little badger remained unfazed, hands on his hips, straightened his back, and loudly proclaimed:
"Shidake, we're not afraid of you!"
In fact, Hufflepuff wasn't the only one who didn't want Ravenclaw to win the title.
Gryffindor and Slytherin, despite being mortal enemies, have played a game of tacit understanding.
After all, since William joined the team, in his four-year professional career, excluding the two years when the school suspended Quidditch for some reason, he has already won two championships.
If they win another title this year, they will have won three in a row, successfully establishing the Ravenclaw dynasty.
How difficult is it to establish a Quidditch dynasty?
Hogwarts appeared twice in the 20th century.
One example is Professor McGonagall, who led the team to three championships in five years.
In his final year, when he was aiming for his fourth championship, he was dealt a crushing blow by Slytherin's Bad Boys, suffering a concussion and falling off his broom.
Then the attempt to attain enlightenment failed.
There was also the James Potter era, where they won three championships in odd-numbered years.
However, neither of these victories was consecutive, and many wizards still criticize them for not being a dynasty.
William is currently the closest player to achieving his first three-peat.
This may be the first and last true Quidditch dynasty team of the twentieth century.
The implications are self-evident, and the other colleges do not want to see this happen.
After all, they will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Hufflepuff are alright, the badgers are just a bit gossipy, they tend to like same-sex wizards, and they're a bit dim-witted... overall they're pretty honest.
Slytherin and Gryffindor, became cunning and began to openly and secretly sabotage Ravenclaw.
They resorted to all sorts of methods to harass the team members.
Even Ancient Runes has students who dare to cause trouble.
William then took the opportunity to deduct fifty points from Slytherin and Gryffindor.
He wants both the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup!
To ensure the tactical order, Qiu stopped training with Cedric and kept his distance from him every day.
This excited Harry for a while, who thought that his efforts had moved Cho and caused the two to break up completely.
Professor Flitwick also often stood by his office window, with binoculars, spying on Hufflepuff Quidditch tactics.
Professor Sprout frequently sought out William to brew Potions for him, deliberately interfering with Eagle's training time.
In this tense atmosphere, the final match finally arrived.
That day,
The weather is wonderful!
There is no wind.
In Professor Trelawney's words:
"The traveling horse is activated, fire forces metal to move, great fortune lies in the west."
And Ravenclaw's goal is on the west side, Professor Trelawney believes is... good news for Ravenclaw.
William nodded; he thought so too.
So after getting the Prophecy for free, he simply left without any intention of paying.
Professor Trelawney, annoyed by her wasted trip, went to Sprout to devise another story that would benefit Hufflepuff.
Although she has now returned to work, she hasn't received a salary for several months, has run out of money, and is now heavily in debt.
People just want to earn some extra money, why is it so difficult?
Although Professor Trelawney spoke highly of Ravenclaw, William was met with boos when he and his team appeared on the pitch.
This was something that would never have happened before.
After all, William's playing style is too elegant, his scoring ability is explosive... and he has a large fan base.
It can only be said that, in order to prevent him from winning a three-peat, students from other houses banded together to forcibly create home-field advantage for Hufflepuff.
All three houses were even dressed in Hufflepuff yellow, except for a small group of students in the middle who wore Ravenclaw sky blue.
As usual, Lee Jordan was the commentator for the game, and this was his last time doing so.
Li seemed a little unhappy; it was unclear whether it was because she was graduating and reluctant to leave this place.
Or it's because we can no longer get the GG fee from Akali's Mystery Shop.
It's impossible that she's sad because Gryffindor didn't make it to the finals.
After all, William knew that Lee was also betting on football.
I even bet on Gryffindor lose last time and made a lot of money.
After Li introduced the team members, the two captains began to shake hands "friendly".
William and Cedric walked together and gripped each other's hands tightly, as if they wanted to break them.
Then, the two sides started trash-talking.
"William, I'm going to win the Quidditch Cup this time!" Cedric said confidently.
"I said, even Merlin couldn't be kept!"
"Really? I'm already tired of it." William smiled and retorted.
"You little runner-up, how dare you speak so loudly to the noble two-time champion?"
"Is that so?" Cedric scoffed. "I think he's the King of Iron Forging, isn't he?"
You didn't hit another 27 irons today, did you?
Give your teammates more opportunities, don't be so selfish.
"How could she make so many moves? Qiu told me she could get the Golden Snitch in five minutes, otherwise..." William grinned.
I'm breaking up with you.
"..."
William raised his voice again, loud enough for all the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team to hear.
"Cedric, when I have the ball later, I'll fly left, right, left, and back, then fake you out before shooting. Remember that!"
They let go of each other's hands and then mounted the broom.
Madam Hooch said cheerfully, "Get on the broom... listen to my whistle... three... two... one..."
Fourteen brooms soared into the air, and Hooch's whistle was drowned out by the roar of the crowd.
All eyes were fixed on William, who was holding the Quaffle.
Li's rough, deep voice rang out; he clearly didn't want the Hawks to win the championship, so he started by trying to disrupt the mentality of the Ravenclaw players.
"I've heard a lot of wizards say lately that Ravenclaw's players were particularly awful in the games without William."
Li roared loudly:
"To give my professional opinion, without exaggeration or bias, Ravenclaw's team is purely relying on William to carry the team!"
He is carrying a heavy burden.
"I don't have much more to say about this team, just one sentence:"
My grandma and William can win championships even when they play ball together!
