Chapter 90 Professor McGonagall: I Finally Got the Chance

Everyone's eyes were moving back and forth between the two Seekers, and for a moment the huge Quidditch field was completely silent.

"Fish - McGonagall -!!!"

After a long silence, Professor McGonagall's roar resounded throughout the field.

In fact, she didn't need to remind them. The whole school had already known that Fish had an ownerless Golden Snitch in his hand. Now, one of the two Snitches on the field must belong to Fish.

The angry Professor McGonagall came to the Gryffindor cheering formation, and her sharp eyes swept across the faces of Ron and others like a hawk. She suppressed her anger and shouted in a low voice: "Where is Fish?!"

"Ahem, Professor McGonagall, this matter... It's not entirely Fish's fault..."

A group of young wizards were silent under Professor McGonagall's aggressive gaze, so Hagrid, as a colleague, stood up. He briefly explained what happened, and in order to let Fish suffer less blame, he deliberately lied and took part of the responsibility on himself.

"Fish didn't mean to cause trouble. I just bumped into him when I squeezed over, and the Golden Snitch in his hand slipped away..."

"..."

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and stared at Hagrid until he turned his head away guiltily and twisted his body uncomfortably.

Judging from Hagrid's reaction just now, although he was partial to Fish, he should not have lied about the matter in general. Professor McGonagall nodded slowly, "Even so, it is a fact that he interfered with the Quidditch game, so - Gryffindor will be deducted 20 points! As for Fish... I will go to talk to him in person."

It has been a long time since I heard that Fish was deducted for causing trouble. This time, he was only deducted 20 points. The Gryffindors present were very stable.

As for the competition field, the problem was not big. After so many years of development, Quidditch games have a set of detailed rules and regulations. There are more than 700 recorded fouls.

Although it is rare to have other Golden Snitches during the game, it has happened before. The thick Quidditch rulebook has already had relevant handling methods.

There are two situations in which Golden Snitches other than the game ball appear in the game, and the handling methods are also different.

One is that other Golden Snitches happen to break into the field. If only one side catches the Golden Snitch, regardless of whether the caught is the game ball, the score will be scored according to the normal game procedure and the game will end.

However, if both sides' seekers catch the Golden Snitch, the game will still end, but the referee will judge the Snitches caught by both sides. The side that catches the game ball will get 150 points, and the other side will also get 100 points. If neither side catches the game ball, then both sides will get 100 points and the game will end.

The second situation is that one side deliberately puts in the Golden Snitch. Generally, in this case, the party that secretly puts the ball has special means to confirm the location of the Golden Snitch. In addition, even if the opponent catches the real game ball, they can rely on the rules to narrow the score.

This was a cheating method found by some teams with bad intentions after the first rule was introduced. After being discovered, the International Quidditch League quickly introduced relevant punishment measures. Teams that did so would not only not score points, but also be subject to additional penalty points and suspension.

In this game, although the extra golden snitch was released by Fish from Gryffindor, after some verification, it was determined that it was not a case of Gryffindor's deliberate foul, so Ms. Hooch made the first penalty.

After a simple identification, Ms. Hooch determined that the golden snitch caught by Harry was the real game ball, so Gryffindor was given 150 points, and Slytherin was also given 100 points. In the end, Gryffindor won the game with a slight advantage of 170 to 160.

Since it was Fish who released the golden snitch, and Flint took advantage of the problem with Harry's broomstick and secretly scored five goals without defense, the Slytherin people just muttered a few words that the snitch caught by Harry's mouth could not be counted, and there was no big dissatisfaction.

Quidditch matches are not based on the outcome of a single game, but on which team has the most points in all games after a season. So the difference is only ten points, which is nothing compared to the total points of several hundred points in the whole season.

It should be said that the Slytherins who caught the golden snitch of Firth are actually the beneficiaries, so they certainly have no opinion on Ms. Hooch's penalty.

So after a lot of commotion, the matter was settled. After confirming the final score, Professor McGonagall praised Harry and other Quidditch players, and then left the court quickly to find Firth, the culprit.

Harry and Ron followed Hagrid to his cabin, accompanied by Hermione. It was this girl who discovered Snape's abnormality in the chaos and ran to burn his robes, which saved Harry from danger.

While the three of them kept asking Hagrid for words, Professor McGonagall also found Firth sleeping soundly by the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room.

"Meow?" (=Φω=)

Fish, who was picked up by Professor McGonagall, stretched out his little paws and rubbed his eyes. After seeing who was in front of him, he immediately opened his two front paws and made a cute cry.

"Meow~" ●ω●

"Change back and talk!"

Experienced Professor McGonagall would not be so easily fooled. She put Fish back on the chair and scolded him seriously.

"Meow?" (=ω<)

Fish, who had been scratching his chin since he was put down, stopped and just raised one of his hind legs, tilted his head and looked at Professor McGonagall, his round cat face full of confusion.

However, Professor McGonagall did not want to repeat her words. She crossed her arms and looked at Fish with a stern face.

Fish had to turn into a cat-man, sitting cross-legged on the chair, with his tail swaying restlessly behind him.

"What's wrong, meow?"

Fish tilted his head and looked at Minerva, who seemed to be angry, with a confused look on his face.

"Did you throw this golden snitch on the Quidditch field?!"

Professor McGonagall took out the golden snitch she had asked from Madam Hooch and put it in front of Fish and asked.

"Meow!"∑(●ΦДΦ●)

When Fish saw the golden snitch in Professor McGonagall's hand, he remembered what he had done before on the Quidditch field, but the smart Fish was prepared--

"No meow! Fish's ball is still here!"(●ΦωΦ●)

Without saying a word, Fish took out a golden snitch that was exactly the same as the one in Professor McGonagall's hand from his pocket and held it high.

After returning to the castle from the Quidditch field, Fish immediately ran to the Room of Requirement and took a few more golden snitches, both to replenish his ball inventory and to be on the safe side.

Now, it's being used!

Fish held the golden snitch high in his hand, thinking that his plan was really perfect.

However...

"Stop lying! Hagrid has told me everything that happened!"

Professor McGonagall pinched Fish's little face and gently pulled it to both sides.

"Meow! The big guy is a traitor!" (●｀Д●)

Fish waved his hands angrily, and his perfect plan was ruined by Hagrid!

"And..." Professor McGonagall exerted a little force with her fingers, pretending to be vicious and continued: "Do you think I don't know? You have more than one thief in your hand!"

"What meow?! Minerva, how did you know meow?!"∑(●ΦДΦ●)

Professor McGonagall paused guiltily, then pinched Fish's face again, "I just know! Anyway, because you got into trouble, you will be in detention from tonight! The content of the detention is... to do homework in my office!"

"Meow——!!!" QAQ
