Scotland in November is really cold, the temperature is already close to 0 degrees.
But such cold weather can't stop wizards' love for Quidditch.
Inside the player tunnel Lucas stands at the forefront while the rest of the team members follow behind him.
Each of them holding a Nimbus 2001 in their hand.
That's right, the rich and powerful Mr. Malfoy donated generously for his son.
The equipment of the Slytherin team has been updated.
"Listen, old rules, give me a straight win over Ravenclaw, you just have to throw the Quaffle into the opponent's goal."
Everyone nodded and looked at Lucas with burning eyes.
Lucas had a three-game winning streak last year.
Bringing the Quidditch champion cup back to Slytherin is still vivid in their minds.
They had thought there would be no chance of playing alongside him this year, but didn't expect that Lucas would decide to play against Ravenclaw a few days ago.
This was a great boost for the players.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to everyone. The Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Slytherin is about to begin. Let us applaud and welcome the players of the two Houses!"
With a shout from Lee Jordan, Lucas led the team out of the tunnel and the two teams circled the field.
Seeing Lucas Grindelwald again the cheers in the stands were more than twice as loud as before.
Ginny Weasley stands in the side belonging to Gryffindor, seeing that blond boy when she looks up at the sky.
'So he likes Quidditch too.'
Such thoughts appeared in Ginny's mind.
Soon, she made up her mind, she would try to be part of the Gryffindor team next year.
On the opposite side, the stands of Ravenclaw were full of voices shouting for their House team.
Only Hermione kept her eyes on Lucas.
Thinking that after the game is over, Cho might get ahead of herself, which made her feel a little lost in her heart.
But if you ask Hermione if she regrets it, her answer is that she doesn't.
"Hermione, why don't you shout cheers, this banner is for you!"
Hermione took the banner from her classmate and raising it above her head she shouted loudly: "Come on, you can win this!"
As for who she was cheering for, I'm afraid only the little witch knows.
Over the pitch, members of the two teams formed a circle.
Seeing Lucas riding the Nimbus 2001, Cho Chang showed a satisfied expression.
"Everyone get ready!"
Professor Hooch puts the whistle in her mouth.
Still the same set of movements, kicking the wooden box and throwing the Quaffle accompanied by the sound of the whistle.
The game officially begins.
Lucas steered the broom up into the air, giving up the low-level field to other players.
Looking at Cho who stopped beside him, he asked curiously: "I don't understand why you want to compete with me again."
"Want to know?"
Seeing Lucas nodding, she showed a beautiful smile.
"Then I'll talk if I win!"
"up"
Lucas shrugged, but before he could say the rest, Cho beside him flew out on her broom.
Watching the golden light flashing away in the distance, Lucas chuckled and chased after her.
Cho Chang rides a Common Nimbus 2000, in terms of limit speed, it is not as good as Lucas' current 2001.
But it's on the pitch and the Golden Snitch doesn't fly in a straight line either so the seekers need to slow down when encountering obstacles.
Which means that the two brooms are basically equal and the one who catches the Snitch depends entirely on the Seeker's ability.
Soon, Lucas and Cho started to race side by side.
Not far in front of them is the key to victory, the Golden Snitch.
"Oh~ look everyone, the two Seekers are very close to the Snitch at the moment, who will win in the end?"
"First of all, let's introduce Ravenclaw's Seeker, Ms. Cho Chang. I believe everyone is familiar with her."
"She is a famous beauty of Ravenclaw, and she is also an excellent seeker. She is the pride of Ravenclaw House!"
Lee Jordan did justice to the game without Gryffindor.
"Next, let's look at the Seeker of Slytherin. That's right, he is the key player who won the championship last year, Lucas Grindelwald!"
"Well, Mr. Grindelwald didn't use his surprisingly fast broom this time, which is barely a bad thing."
All right.
It should be said that Lee Jordan's commentary was fair in the game without Gryffindor and Slytherin.
The two seekers were getting closer and closer to the Snitch when Cho suddenly said: "Do you remember our agreement? Go all out for the game, so don't let me win."
Lucas raised an eyebrow, but looking at the serious expression of the girl he nodded, pushing his broom to the limit.
Although ordinary people cannot avoid obstacles at the maximum speed when using the Nimbus 2001.
But Lucas is no ordinary person and he can easily dodge obstacles even with his modified broom.
The broom immediately reached the limit speed.
Watching Lucas who is gradually surpassing herself, Cho sighed.
She knew she had lost, in a place full of obstacles like the edge of the court, she can't fly to the limit.
With Lucas soaring from the edge of the court, the Golden Snitch in his hand immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh! Lucas Grindelwald has caught the Golden Snitch, and I declare the Slytherins victorious again!"
The audience burst into warm cheers, especially the Slytherin stands.
Lucas won this time with dignity and in the future, others will no longer be able to say that he won just because of his extremely fast broom.
Cho came to his side on her broom.
Looking at Lucas who was gesturing around, she said, "Aren't you curious, why do I want to compete with you?"
Lucas nodded, he was indeed curious.
"Hermione once asked me what kind of boy I like, and I answered her that a boy who can play Quidditch and beat me."
"Last year, you snatched the Snitch in front of me, but left your shadow in my heart."
"This year, I want to compete with you again to determine my own mind."
She paused, then he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Lucas Grindelwald, can you be my boyfriend?"
The originally noisy stadium gradually became quieter.
The members of the two teams seemed to come forward to congratulate, but they did not expect to hear such explosive news.
The Slytherin team immediately flew towards the player tunnel.
In the stands at the moment, Harry's eyes suddenly darkened.
Not only him, but also Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff.
Unexpectedly, before he had time to get acquainted with Cho Chang, his secret love had already come to an end.
And Ginny Weasley, in addition to the loss in her eyes, there was also a trace of envy.
Mid-air, Cho looked at Lucas nervously.
Lucas had already talked to Hermione about Cho Chang.
Hermione ended up saying "It's up to you!"
"How about we leave it for the future? We're still too young, so let's wait for a year, how about it?"
Hearing Lucas' reply.
Cho was stunned for a few seconds, then tears appeared in her eyes.
Before she could wipe them off, she suddenly found that everyone in the surrounding stands was staring at her.
Thinking about what she just did, she let out an embarrassed eep and flew into the player tunnel on her broom.
…
It's just that she seemed to fly in the wrong direction, entering the Slytherin passage.
Lucas was stunned for a moment, he glanced at the stands of Ravenclaw, and then quickly chased after her.
Cho, who was hiding in the staff passageway, no longer had the courage she had just now.
Even she herself didn't know why she yelled so loudly.
At this moment, she was hiding in the corner like a frightened rabbit, afraid that others would find her.
"Cho, why are you hiding?"
Hearing Lucas' voice, she turned and gave him a blank stare.
"It's over, my life is over, I just embarrassed myself in front of the whole school!"
Looking at her frustrated look, Lucas held Cho's shoulders with both hands.
"Is it that embarrassing to declare your feelings for me?"
"You know I don't mean that."
She hurried to explain in a panic, but Lucas laughed out loud in return.
While joking, Cho gradually calmed down, looked at the blond boy in front of her and smiled slightly.
'only a year'
The reason Lucas said to wait a year, apart from them being too young, he also wanted to give her time to think if this is really what she wanted. It would also work as a test, if she could wait that long for him it might just be worth it to give her a place by his side.
A lot of things can happen in a year and after all that time she might have changed her mind and become interested in someone else. But he underestimated just how strong a girl's first love can be.
"Ahem! Both of you, pay attention to the next occasion!"
Hermione's voice came from the side, she glared at Lucas first, then took Cho's hand and walked out.
Lucas didn't follow this time.
With him around, there are some difficult things to say between the two women.
The Quidditch game is over though.
But what happened in the game is interesting to talk about.
During dinner, the students of the four tables always looked towards Lucas, Hermione and Cho.
This directly affected the two girl's meals.
After barely eating something, the two left the great hall and returned to the Ravenclaw Tower.
As for Lucas? He was used to the attention so he didn't leave until he was full.
During the night the castle once again fell into a deathly silence.
Lucas walked out of the dungeons and headed towards the Ravenclaw common room.
Tonight he intends to verify his conjecture.
If his predictions are correct, Ravenclaw's Secret room will be revealed tonight.
After more than ten minutes of walking, he finally arrived outside the door of Ravenclaw's common room.
