Chapter 34: Jealousy

After leaving Professor Snape's office, Arthur thought about Professor Snape's last words.

In the end, Professor Snape requested that Arthur come to his office every week after Potions class.

At that time, Professor Snape would not only check his potion-making skills but also test his progress in learning the spells in his notebook.

Although he didn't know why Professor Snape was doing this, Since Professor Snape gave him this notebook, Arthur decided that he would make sure Professor Snape survived until the end of the plot.

Arthur knew from reading forums that the book was very special to Professor Snape. Some of the potions in it were even completed by Snape and Lily together.

It was understandable for Harry to have the notebook, but the fact that Professor Snape had given it to him first made Arthur feel touched.

Since Professor Snape had done this for him, Arthur knew that he was not as heartless as he pretended to be and would definitely lend a hand in the future.

...

Soon, the weekend arrived, and it was Quidditch match day. Ravenclaw was set to play against Hufflepuff.

Roger Davies had gathered all the players early and was leading them in warm-ups. It was clear that he was taking this match seriously.

Soon, other wizards and witches began to arrive, and the Hufflepuff team's players also made their way to the practice.

...

At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, the players of both teams flew into the air, and the game began.

The commentator for this match was Lee Jordan. Arthur had gotten to know him quite well, bringing him along on a few late-night trips to the kitchen with the Weasley twins.

They had become quite friendly with each other as a result.

"Alright, now both teams' players are up in the air. For the Hufflepuff team, we have..."

"And now we look at Ravenclaw, starting with their captain, Roger Davies, playing as a Seeker..."

"Next up, we have the most talented young wizard in Hogwarts in the last fifty years! Along with Gryffindor's Harry Potter, he set the record for first-year students making it onto the Quidditch team - Arthur Gaunt!"

Lee Jordan went on and on, praising Arthur, much to his friend's embarrassment.

Professor McGonagall, who was sitting nearby, couldn't bear to watch.

"Jordan, watch your words!" she shouted.

Hearing Professor McGonagall's reprimand, Lee shrank back and stopped his praising.

"Finally, we have Ravenclaw's Seeker, the loveliest girl in Ravenclaw! Cho Chang! Many people know that her relationship with Arthur Gaunt is special."

"But what many people don't know is that one time some young wizards saw the two of them in-"

Arthur and Cho's brooms both struck at the same time, and Cho nearly fell off her broom.

"Jordan!" Professor McGonagall's shout echoed through the stadium using the Sonorus spell.

Hermione, in the audience, glared at Jordan from the commentary box like an angry little lioness. Many other young witches also looked at him with anger.

However many young wizards expressed regret, wondering why Professor McGonagall didn't shout a little slower, at least finishing the sentence.

Arthur had just had a cold sweat from the shock.

'Damn, next time he should set up an alert spell.'

Then the game started.

When he came to his senses, he swung his broomstick and hit the Bludger, flying towards him. The Bludger flew like a bullet towards a Chaser on the Hufflepuff team.

The Chaser was obviously startled and dropped his Bludger. Roger Davies took the opportunity to pick it up and quickly flew towards Hufflepuff's half of the field.

Arthur caught another stray ball and hit it towards another Hufflepuff player. He finally had time to observe Cho. Cho was flying wildly in the sky now. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, looking quite neat, radiating a heroic spirit.

The Hufflepuff seeker also flew in the air constantly, but he sometimes glanced at Cho's movements. Touching his chin, Arthur tried to remember the name of this seeker. What was it again?

'It seemed to be called Edward...no, that's not right, damn it, that's another movie.'

'Oh, right! It's Cedric Diggory.'

'Wasn't he Cho's rumored boyfriend in the fourth book? They even attended a dance together.'

Thinking of this, Arthur's gaze suddenly became serious as he noticed the seeker sometimes glancing at Cho.

'He's got some nerve!'

Arthur didn't consider the possibility that Cedric might be hitting if Cho found the golden snitch. Arthur was immediately annoyed, leaning forward and pushing his broom, the Nimbus 2000, to accelerate suddenly.

"Look! Ravenclaw's genius is accelerating! He's charging towards a Bludger!"

Lee Jordan, with sharp eyes, spotted Arthur's movements and shouted excitedly.

Arthur rushed to a drifting Bludger, swung his broomstick, and hit it toward Cedric in the sky.

Cedric didn't notice the approaching danger until he heard the sound of wind and instinctively dodged to slightly avoid the Bludger's attack. The strong spin on the Bludger caused it to fly back towards Arthur.

Arthur repeated his move and hit the Bludger towards Cedric again. At this point, Lee was already too excited to stop himself.

"The Bludger was hit towards Cedric by Arthur! Oh, what's happening? It flew back to him! Arthur hit it again!"

"Oh my god! What kind of game is this? The drifting ball keeps hitting Cedric, he can't even look for the golden snitch now!"

The audience was stunned as they had never seen such a ridiculous player and this type of game before.

A magical scene spread on the field as Arthur kept hitting the drifting ball towards Cedric completely ignoring everyone else.

At this time, Cho was also puzzled.

'Why was Arthur kept targeting Cedric all the time?'

However, she didn't have to worry about Cedric's interference anymore and patiently searched for the golden snitch.

Ten minutes later, Cho successfully caught the golden snitch, and this unique game ended.

In the end, Ravenclaw defeated Hufflepuff 170-10.

The players from both sides landed on the ground. Cho hugged Arthur with a smile.

She then asked in confusion, "Why did you keep attacking Cedric? You didn't care about any other players throughout the game."

"I saw him keep sneaking glances at you, that guy has bad intentions," Arthur was very upset.

"Pfft," Cho burst into laughter, shaking all over.

She had never seen Arthur jealous before, and suddenly felt that this side of him was very cute.

"Dummy, of course he has to keep an eye on me. He wants to prevent me from finding the Golden Snitch first," Cho explained.

"Is that so?" Arthur felt a little guilty.

'Why didn't he think of that earlier?'
