"This is the Golden Snitch. Once I release it, it will fly at high speed around the pitch. Whoever catches it first will be the team's Seeker."
Captain Flint, who seemed to have Troll blood and was even taller than Snape, explained, holding a golden metal ball the size of a walnut with a pair of small silver wings.
"Alright, let's begin now!"
Flint released his hand, and the Golden Snitch immediately flew out at an incredibly fast speed, with Malfoy and George kicking off and following close behind.
The Golden Snitch was incredibly fast and agile. Even if you caught up to it, a single turn could easily shake you off, just like Malfoy at that moment.
Because his flying broom accelerated too quickly, when the Golden Snitch turned, he couldn't brake in time and flew a considerable distance before turning back.
But George was different. When the Golden Snitch turned, he immediately controlled his flying broom to turn, and the broom's inertia was forcibly twisted by the magnetically controlled wires.
After completely catching up to the Golden Snitch, George reached out and grabbed forward like lightning. The Golden Snitch quickly dodged, but at this moment, George's magnetic control came into play again.
Although the Golden Snitch was a magic product, it was also a metal object, so it would naturally be affected by his magnetic force.
Forcibly stopping it directly would be too obvious, but subtly influencing its speed—who could see that?
Because of George's magnetic influence, the Golden Snitch's reaction speed slowed by one second, and in that one second, George had already firmly grasped it in his hand.
"So fast, less than a minute!"
Seeing the Golden Snitch caught by George, Snape and the team members below were also startled.
Although this wasn't an official game, without the interference of two teams, quaffle, and bludger, the difficulty of catching the Golden Snitch was greatly reduced, but to catch it in one minute was too fast.
It should be known that in previous Quidditch matches, there was a record of the Golden Snitch being caught as late as three months, which shows how difficult it is to catch.
"Harry, if George becomes the Slytherin Seeker, you're finished!"
Among the three peeking, Ron looked at Harry sympathetically, and Harry also had a bitter expression.
Meanwhile, Hermione beside them said:
"But if George becomes the Seeker, Malfoy will definitely be furious, which seems pretty good too."
Ron and Harry's eyes lit up at the words, and they nodded in agreement.
Seeing Malfoy frustrated was, of course, something that made them feel very happy.
"I lost."
As the two landed, Malfoy looked at the Golden Snitch in George's hand, deflating like a balloon.
From today onwards, he would surely become the laughingstock of Slytherin and deeply disappoint his father.
His father had spent so much money for him to become a Seeker, to compete with Harry, but he had lost it.
"Since you want to be the Seeker so much, then you be the Seeker."
George returned the Golden Snitch to Flint and said, looking at the dejected Malfoy.
Malfoy instantly looked up, staring at George with an incredulous expression. Snape and the others also looked at George with surprised faces, not understanding what he was up to.
"I think whether it's the Seeker, Chaser, Beater, or Keeper, they are all equally important, and I am confident I can bring honor to Slytherin in any role.
But after just trying it, being a Seeker seems a bit boring, without much challenge."
George shrugged, then looked at Malfoy with a half-smile:
"And I don't like to take away other people's dreams."
The other players' gazes towards George softened considerably at once.
"Thank you..."
Malfoy was silent for a few seconds, thanking George for the first time.
Before, he strongly disliked George because he not only stole all his thunder but also openly mocked him.
But now, he suddenly felt that George wasn't so annoying after all, and he even felt a little grateful to George deep down.
After all, George was truly formidable, and in this situation, he was still willing to let him save face, giving him a new lease on life.
"As fellow Slytherin, we should help each other and strive for the honor of Slytherin, shouldn't we?"
George patted Malfoy's shoulder, and this time, Malfoy did not show any sign of dislike on his face.
Little Malfoy, handled!
Slytherin was like that. If you were weak, no matter how much you tried to show goodwill, the other party would only think you were easy to bully.
But if you were strong enough, they would instead feel admiration and genuinely be willing to follow you.
Was Malfoy a heinous person?
Of course not, he was just a somewhat arrogant child, and his true nature was actually kinder than his two cronies.
Before, because the other party picked a fight first, he deliberately suppressed him.
But if there was an opportunity to win him over, it would be good. The House of Malfoy had considerable prestige among purebloods, and before Lord Voldemort's resurrection, there might be many useful aspects.
As for Seeker, Beater, Chaser, and Keeper, in his eyes, there was truly no difference. In fact, he actually felt that being a Chaser would boost his prestige more than being a Seeker.
In a normal game, the Seeker was the most watched position.
Because only when the Seeker caught the Golden Snitch did the game end, and the Seeker who caught the Golden Snitch could add a full one hundred and fifty points to the entire team.
In most cases, as long as the two teams' skill levels weren't too far apart, there wouldn't be a score difference of one hundred and fifty points.
So it was generally assumed that whichever team's Seeker caught the Golden Snitch meant they had won the victory.
If he, as a Chaser, could pull the score to over one hundred and fifty points before the Seeker caught the Golden Snitch, then he would be even more dazzling than the Seeker.
This was also a very rare occurrence in Hogwarts's Quidditch history.
Of course, what he did might work for young Malfoy, who was inexperienced, but it would certainly have little effect on an old hand like Lucius Malfoy.
Lucius Malfoy had little loyalty even to Lord Voldemort.
"Well said, what Slytherin needs most is unity. Since George voluntarily gave up, then Malfoy will be the Seeker, and George will be the Chaser."
Snape, for once, showed his smile, which was uglier than crying.
As the Dean of Slytherin, seeing such a harmonious scene now, he was naturally very happy, and his evaluation of George rose another level.
It was truly rare for someone of this age to have such magnanimity and ideas.
He thought back to how, if he had George's magnanimity and ideas instead of spending all his time on the Dark Arts, he wouldn't have allowed that cursed Potter to take advantage and steal Lily.
"You all train well."
After Snape left, everyone began their Quidditch training. George, as the new Chaser, also demonstrated his superb skills as a Chaser.
The Seeker is for catching the Golden Snitch, the Keeper is for guarding the goal, the Beater is for hitting the bludger to interfere with opposing players, and the Chaser is for snatching the quaffle and then scoring.
This scoring can be done with hands, feet, or by hitting it with a flying broom, as long as no magic is used.
George's physical condition was comparable to Captain Flint, who had Troll blood, but because he was much more agile due to his build, plus his absolute control over the flying broom.
So, basically, from snatching the ball to dodging, to shooting, it was all done in one fluid motion.
