Cedric Diggory was embarrassed by the attention.
After some thought, he suggested to Madam Hooch, as Hufflepuff Captain, that Gryffindor and Hufflepuff should compete again in a few days.
Cedric Diggory's magnanimity embarrassed Harry, Wood, and George.
Despite their desire for victory, they had pride, so they turned down Cedric's offer with little hesitation.
Madam Hooch, refereeing the match, confirmed the wishes of both sides, and announced on the spot that Cedric Diggory had caught the Golden Snitch and ended the match, and that the result was valid and Hufflepuff won…
Despite everyone's tough-mindedness when admitting defeat, Fred, George, and the others became dejected when Madam Hooch actually announced the result.
Wood left in a daze, ignoring the shouts of the crowd behind him. He wanted to be left alone…
Harry blamed himself as he watched Wood leave, as this was the first time he had lost a match.
What's more, he was badly knocked out on the pitch, and all the Quidditch players except him were fine, making Harry wonder if he really was as weak as Malfoy claimed.
"It's over! We're down by over a hundred points. Unless Hufflepuff loses to Ravenclaw next, and we beat both Ravenclaw and Slytherin in a row, then we'll have some chance of winning…" Angelina sighed as she calculated the odds.
It is not easy to pin one's chances on one's opponent's mistake, and Ravenclaw and Slytherin are both very strong.
Fred tugged at Angelina's sleeve and shook his head at her, telling her to stop putting pressure on Harry.
"Come on, Harry! You've never missed a Snitch before, and this is just an accident. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one blames you!" George forced a smile and patted Harry on the shoulder reassuringly.
"Right! One win is no big deal. There are two more games, aren't there? I'm sure you'll win in the end!" Ivan encouraged them.
If he remembered correctly, it was still the Gryffindor team that won the Quidditch Cup in the original timeline!
Ivan can't remember the exact process, but it seems unlikely that they will be crushed by this setback, and will soon rally for a final victory!
Harry's mood improved somewhat after being comforted by the crowd, although he was still upset about falling from the sky.
George and Fred, on the other hand, seemed to remember something after Ivan finished speaking. They looked at each other, and their dull eyes suddenly lit up with hope.
Both of them recalled Ivan's amazing flying and pitching skills. He could easily score a hundred points in a match, let alone one hundred points!
Neither George nor Fred spoke, as Ivan had made it clear several times that he would not participate.
There was a good chance Ivan would refuse if they asked him now, so they thought it best to discuss this with Wood and the others in private.
"Alright, everyone, calm down. I have something else to say."
Professor McGonagall's voice rang out across the Quidditch pitch, attracting everyone's attention.
Professor McGonagall cleared her throat and addressed Ivan.
"This Dementor riot was saved from possible casualties by the timely intervention of Hales, so I will give Gryffindor House one hundred points!"
When Professor McGonagall finished speaking, there was a brief silence as all eyes were on Ivan.
The next moment, thunderous applause filled the Quidditch pitch.
All the young wizards and witches from the various academies applauded with all their might!
When hundreds of Dementors had been roaming over the Quidditch pitch, they had been deeply affected, and all joy had been stripped from them, leaving behind only painful memories.
Ivan's powerful Patronus Charm was like the light of dawn, saving them from pain and despair, so even the Slytherins applauded him.
No one was happier than the young Gryffindor wizards, whose spirits had been swept away and whose palms were red from clapping.
More people gathered around enthusiastically, asking questions at once.
"Hales! What was the spell you used to defeat those creatures? I saw a glowing unicorn. Did you summon that? My God! That was beautiful!"
"That's a Patronus Charm! An advanced spell that only a few wizards can master! Many adult wizards don't know it…" a senior Slytherin said arrogantly.
He was the one who released the Patronus Raven, which was in the form of a crow, to fight against the Dementors. However, the Patronus Raven was not as handsome as Ivan's unicorn, and its power was not worth mentioning…
Professor McGonagall was also curious about Ivan's unique Unicorn Patronus, as only Dumbledore's Patronus showed signs of being a magical creature.
Ivan, of course, could not reveal the secret of his fused blood, so he shrugged nonchalantly.
"Professor, I don't know why this is happening, so I always suspected it was just a deformed horse with horns!"
Ivan did not want to reveal his Patronus if he could help it.
However, it was an emergency and he had many friends on the Quidditch pitch that he cared about.
George and Fred, as Quidditch players, were closer to the Dementors than to the Dementors, and in case more people were injured, causing a large-scale riot, Ivan had to take the initiative.
Also, unlike the last time, he could not ride the Hippogriff to teach those evil creatures a lesson in the sky, so he could only conjure the Unicorn's Shadow to drive them away…
Fortunately, the current situation was very different from the previous two years, and exposure was not a big deal.
There were not many wizards who knew about blood fusion. In addition, they were young, and those who knew would at most think that they were extremely talented and had awakened some bloodline power.
