Chapter 997: Weasley is Our King

He also persuaded Hermione to calm down. What Umbridge did that day was generally understood by people towards half-giants.

They were still at Hogwarts and were not aware of the overall atmosphere in the wizarding world.

Wizards had a natural distrust for creatures like vampires, werewolves, and half- giants. Incidents of persecution against them occurred frequently, seemingly involving more egregious things. If it weren’t for Dumbledore’s efforts over the years, the current situation would have been much worse.

Umbridge’s behavior was not an individual phenomenon, but represented the ideas of a large group of people.

These wizards might not be as extreme as pure-blood wizards, and they might be friendly and kind in their daily lives, with inherently good natures. However, they still firmly believed that vampires, werewolves, and half-giants should all be locked up in Azkaban. This was the mainstream opinion in the Wizarding world.

Just like their habit of enslaving house-elves, they didn’t see anything wrong with it; it was considered normal.

Changing this would not happen overnight; it was very difficult and could only be achieved through appeals from the Minister of Magic or someone with the status of Dumbledore. Gradual change could occur through subtle influences, and these communities themselves needed to make an effort.

Attacks, sacrifices, or biting children were becoming too frequent nowadays, and they seemed to want to make big news. This couldn’t be allowed.

However, in reality, it was difficult to stop them from doing such things.

It could only be said that there were good and bad people in every class and population. They should be distinguished and not judged with a single stroke.

For example, Elaine, Lupin, and Hagrid were good people who wouldn’t do anything harmful to others.

Although Elaine always said she wanted to drink Evan’s blood, she never actually did it.

This poor child didn’t even know how to bite people…

Evan and Hermione did not sit with Hagrid, Colin, and Neville, but came to the commentator’s side.

Because of the Starcatcher, Lee Jordan wanted to interview them during the game.

Many people were curious about this broom and wanted to know how Evan and the others made it.

Although everyone participated, the main contributors were Evan, Hermione, Ginny, and the house-elf Dobby.

Ginny had to prepare for the game, and Dobby couldn’t show up, so only Evan and Hermione were interviewed.

Lee Jordan first introduced the players from both sides, and then changed the subject and started talking about the Gryffindor team’s new broom. He was not in a hurry to interview Evan and Hermione, but went through the list, listing the excellent performance of the broom, creating a suspenseful atmosphere.

Some people believed it, others thought he was making things up, but more people were skeptical.

Regardless, everyone was eagerly anticipating the upcoming match.

The same was true when Harry’s Firebolt first appeared. Whenever the Firebolt was seen, there was a burst of cheers, but the significance of the Starcatcher was extraordinary. Jordan even said that this was an epoch-making product that could replace the Firebolt.

And more importantly, a crucial point was that the Starcatcher was made by Hogwarts in-school students, which was the biggest selling point.

Five minutes later, amid bursts of cheers, whistles and songs, the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams appeared!

“Captains shake hands,” ordered the umpire, Madam Hooch, as Angelina and Montague reached each other.

It was obvious that Montague was trying to crush Angelina’s fingers, though she did not wince.

“Alright … mount your brooms!” Madam Hooch placed her whistle in her mouth and blew hard.

When the kickoff started, fourteen players shot upward, and Ron rode the Starcatcher straight toward the goal hoops.

The performance of the broom was indeed very good. Ron ascended rapidly, leaving a trail in the sky, and confidently stationed himself in front of the hoop.

“Not bad at all, don’t you think?” Hermione anxiously watched Ron. “I hope he performs well.”

“Okay, everyone, the game has begun!” Jordan started commentating. “Let’s watch for Gryffindor’s performance with the Starcatcher. And it’s Johnson, Johnson with the Quaffle, what a player that girl is. This has nothing to do with the broom. It’s entirely her personal skill. I’ve been saying it for years but she still won’t go out with me…”

“JORDAN!” yelled Professor McGonagall.

“Just a fun fact, Professor, adds a bit of interest — and she’s ducked Warrington, she’s passed Montague, she’s — ouch — been hit from behind by a Bludger from Crabbe… Yeah, he doesn’t seem as dumb as he looks, does he?” Jordan shouted. “… Montague catches the Quaffle, Montague heading back up the pitch and — nice Bludger there from George Weasley, that’s a Bludger to the head for Montague; he drops the Quaffle, caught by Katie Bell. Warrington tries to stop her. This time it’s Fred … he actually grabbed the Bludger again and stopped Warrington, Katie Bell of Gryffindor reverse passes to Alicia Spinnet…”

Lee Jordan’s commentary rang through the stadium, and the superior performance of the Starcatcher was quickly demonstrated by Fred and George.

While Ron didn’t have much to do, Fred and George, with their Starcatchers, had already taken control. Goyle and Crabbe were no match for them in terms of flying skills, batting skills, or cunningness.

Because of the impact design of the Starcatcher, even their physical advantage had completely disappeared.

Fred and George, with the Cleansweep Seven, could already be considered the best Beaters at Hogwarts. Now, with the Starcatcher, they were even more at home, turning the entire Quidditch field into their stage.

Below, waves of cheers from the audience continued, and Jordan kept commenting on their spectacular performance.

However, the Slytherins quickly launched a counterattack. Montague simply asked Goyle and Crabbe to give up on the Bludger, as they couldn’t grab it anyway. Instead, they fully focused on snatching the Quaffle. With their strong bodies, a few hard hits didn’t matter to them. They aimed to attack, forcing the Gryffindor team to defend.

In the stands, the Slytherins also began to sing, drowning out the noise on the field.

“Listen to that sound, what’s that they’re singing?” Jordan said in surprise.

And as Lee paused to listen, the song rose loud and clear from the sea of green and silver in the Slytherin section of the stands:

Weasley cannot save a thing,

He cannot block a single ring,

That’s why Slytherins all sing:

Weasley is our King.

Weasley was born in a bin,

He always lets the Quaffle in,

Weasley will make sure we win,

Weasley is our King.
