......
It's nearly eleven o'clock, and all the teachers and students in the school start to head to the Quidditch field.
As they pass by the Gryffindor team, George tells Harry:
"Don't worry so much. To ensure fairness, I have already proposed to the dean that, in addition to Malfoy using the Nimbus 2001, we will still use our previous flying brooms."
Good, that's exactly what Flint was just telling him.
For him, if he wins the match using the Nimbus 2001, people will think that his flying broom is better than others' and that's why he performs so well, which is not conducive to his plan to improve his reputation.
However, to others, he would just appear to be straightforward and noble-minded.
But in reality, compared to Flint, he is even more willing to go to any length.
Because the premise for making this decision is that he is confident that he can definitely win the match.
Not only is it due to his physical fitness and absolute control over the flying broom, but more importantly, he can influence the Golden Snitch at any time if he wants to.
He will not allow the Golden Snitch to fall into the hands of any seeker until he has surpassed the opposing team by one hundred and fifty points.
So, when the match ends and by what score, it is entirely up to him.
If Flint and Malfoy are true villains, their evilness is obvious to everyone's eyes and can be easily seen through their Slytherin personality traits.
Then George is a particularly well-disguised pseudo-moralist, maintaining a positive image in front of everyone while secretly resorting to any means to achieve his goals.
In this sense, it's quite similar to young Voldemort.
Sometimes he even wants to call himself "Sir George", the gentleman of the sword.
However, he is not as extreme as some, and the education he received in his previous life has allowed him to maintain some sense of morality even when doing things that may be considered underhanded.
He believes that there are no purely good people in the world, and very few truly evil ones. In order to live better, he is willing to lean slightly towards being a bad person.
"Thank you, George!"
Hearing George's words, Harry immediately perked up. The members of the Gryffindor team, especially Wood, jumped excitedly, gazing at George with admiration in their eyes.
If before, besides Harry, Ginny and Colin, the other Gryffindors had only been indifferent to George's speech at the beginning of the term, then now they have developed quite a fondness for him.
"The most important thing about a match is fairness."
George stated matter-of-factly, "Fairness is the most important thing in a match."
To be honest, he's not actually cheating because the match rules only state that no magic can be used, not that no supernatural abilities can be employed.
The Quidditch stadium was filled with students and teachers from the four Hogwarts houses, as well as wizards from Hogsmeade and wizards invited from the Ministry of Magic.
Among them was the current Minister for Magic, Ludo Bagman.
"Is George, the first-year wizard you mentioned, really as good as you say?"
He had come specifically to tell him that Hogwarts had produced a genius player who could make the British Quidditch team rise to prominence.
Even though he didn't believe it, he still wanted to watch out of hope.
If the British Quidditch team doesn't improve and fails to win any place in the World Cup, he might not be able to keep his position as Minister for Sports in the Ministry of Magic for much longer.
"Of course, just wait and see, Bagman."
Mrs. Hoochin waved confidently to Ludo and then descended from the stands into the center of the field.
Having seen Slytherin's training, she was full of confidence in George's abilities.
In the midst of enthusiastic applause from the surrounding wizards, the captains of the two teams shook hands before both teams took off simultaneously, officially starting the match.
"Hmm, have I misjudged? The Slytherin team, excluding Malfoy, has all abandoned using the Nimbus 2001!"
As soon as the match began, the commentator, Lee Jordan, was surprised to find that something was wrong with the Slytherin team's brooms.
The Slytherin team's use of Nimbus 2001 had caused quite a stir at Hogwarts before.
"Snape, is this the style of your team? And you don't usually stand here with me to watch matches."
McGonagall, responsible for monitoring Lee Jordan's commentary, looked surprised at Snape standing next to her.
As the biggest Quidditch fan, she was also the most talented Seeker in Gryffindor House at Hogwarts. In her seventh year, she fell off her broom during a match against Slytherin due to their foul play, resulting in a concussion and several broken ribs.
Therefore, she has been extremely hoping for Slytherin to suffer a resounding defeat.
"This is George's idea. He believes that if we Slytherin want to win, we should win fairly and squarely."
Snape replied without looking up.
McGonagall couldn't help but show a rare gentle smile at the words.
"George is indeed a good boy. Just for his commitment to fairness and justice, I'll give Slytherin an extra ten points."
"It turns out that it was George from the Slytherin team who proposed this suggestion, hoping that when they compete against the other three houses, they can do so fairly and squarely. It seems that the Slytherin team is not all so fond of cheating and breaking the rules."
Lee Jordan, hearing the conversation between Snape and McGonagall, immediately started to commentate over the microphone.
Then, his head was simultaneously smacked by the heads of both professors.
"The last sentence was just a joke. Let's focus on the match."
Oh, George from Slytherin managed to grab the Snitch first. He expertly maneuvered his broomstick through the defenses of the Gryffindor team.
Then... into the goal, what a beautiful shot...
Oh, another goal! And it's George again, amazingly shooting with his foot while hanging on the broomstick with one hand!
Again, it's George. This time he is standing on the broomstick and shooting an arc.
It's still George...”
As George scored one stunning goal after another, the Gryffindor players were left speechless, while the Slytherin wizards in the audience were screaming so loud that their voices were hoarse.
"With one hundred and twenty points to twenty, and fifty more points to go, the match is nearly over."
George looked at the scoreboard, thinking to himself.
As the match progressed, George had actually been fairly honest, not cheating much at all and even giving Gryffindor two unfair advantages to avoid looking bad.
It's a given that George's physical advantages are too obvious, and it's difficult for the opposing team to either catch or intercept the Snitch with his nimble broomstick.
Moreover, the Golden Snitch is also quite elusive; even without George's interference, Harry and Malfoy haven't managed to touch the tail of the Golden Snitch yet.
However, as George prepared to continue scoring points, an unexpected incident occurred. The black Quidditch ball, seemingly under someone's control, began wildly attacking Harry.
"Is this Dobby, the house-elf, playing tricks again?"
He knew that at this moment, it was Dobby, the house-elf of the Malfoy family, who was hiding in the shadows and intentionally controlling the Quaffle ball with magic in order to severely injure Harry and send him back home instead of being killed by a serpent.
