        ...

    "This is the golden thief. Once I release him, he will fly rapidly within the court, and whoever catches it first will be the team's ball hunter."

    Captain Flint, who seems to possess giant-like blood and is taller than Snape by a bit, held a golden metallic ball the size of hazelnuts, with a pair of silver wings attached to it.

    "Alright, let's get started!"

    Fleet released his hand, and the golden thief flew out at super high speed, with Malfoy and George following closely behind with a kick.

    The golden thief is incredibly fast and agile. Even if you catch up to it, it can easily outmaneuver you by making a sharp turn, just like Malfoy is doing right now.

    Because the broomstick accelerates too quickly, it fails to brake in time when the golden thief makes a turn, resulting in a considerable distance flown before it can turn back.

    But George was different; when the golden thief made a turn, he immediately maneuvered the flying broomstick to follow suit, and the broomstick's inertia was forcibly twisted by the magnetic force of the wire.

    Once George caught up to the golden thief, he reached out and snatched forward at lightning speed, but the golden thief swiftly evaded. At this moment, George's magnetic control kicked in again.

    The golden thief, though a magical creation, is also made of metal and is naturally affected by his magnetic influence.

    It would be too obvious to directly force it to stop, but slightly affecting its speed would be barely noticeable. Who could see that?

    Because of George's magnetic influence, the golden thief's reaction speed was slowed by a second, and it was during this time that George had already secured it firmly in his grasp.

    "So quickly, it's not even a minute yet!"

    Seeing the golden thief being caught by George, Snape and the other players were also startled.

    Even though this isn't an official match without the interference of players from both teams and ghost quidditch balls, the Quaffle, and Wanderer's spells, catching the golden thief is definitely much easier. However, catching it within a minute is just way too fast.

    After all, the records of past Quidditch matches show that the golden thief was caught as late as three months ago, demonstrating just how difficult it is to catch.

    "Harry, if George becomes the Slytherin Seeker, you'll be in trouble!"

    The trio watching on the side, Ron looked sympathetically at Harry, who also had a sour face.

    While Hermione next to him said:

    "But if George becomes the Seeker, Malfoy will definitely be enraged, and it seems like it's not bad either."

    Ron and Harry's eyes immediately brightened upon hearing this, and they nodded in agreement.

    Watching Malfoy suffer a setback was, of course, something that greatly pleased them.

    "I... lost."

    As both landed, Malfoy looked at the golden thief in George's hand, as if all the air had been let out of him. He slumped down immediately.

    From today onwards, he would undoubtedly become a laughing stock of Slytherin and deeply disappoint his father.

    His father spent so much money making him the Seeker, to face Harry head-to-head, but he ended up losing it.

    "If you're so eager to be the Seeker, then you should do it."

    George handed the golden thief back to Flint and said to the dejected Malfoy, "Since you so wish to be the Seeker, then it's yours."

    Malfoy immediately lifted his head, staring at George with an incredible look, while Snape and the others looked at George with astonished expressions, unable to understand what was going on.

    "I believe that whether it's the Seeker, Chaser, Beater, or Keeper, they all play an equally important role. Moreover, I have confidence that I can bring honor to Slytherin."

    But I just tried it out, and being the Seeker seems a bit boring, with not much of a challenge."

    George shrugged, then looked at Malfoy with a half-smiling expression.

    "And I don't like taking away someone else's dream."

    The other players' gaze towards George softened immediately.

    "Thank you..."

    Malfoy remained silent for a few seconds, the first time he expressed gratitude to George.

    Previously, he had been very hostile towards George, as the other had not only stolen all the spotlight but also openly ridiculed him.

    However, now he suddenly felt that George wasn't that irritating after all, and there was a little gratitude towards him in his heart.

    After all, George is indeed very powerful, and under these circumstances, he is still willing to give him some face and let him survive in a corner.

    "As fellow Slytherins, we should help each other, strive for the honor of Slytherin, shouldn't we?"

    George patted Malfoy on the shoulder, and this time, there was no longer any trace of aversion on Malfoy's face.

    Little Malfoy, checkmate!

    That's how it is with Slytherin. If you're a weakling, even if you try to be friendly, the other person will just think you're easy to bully.

    But if you are strong enough, he will instead feel respectful and willing to follow you from the heart.

    No, Malfoy is not a completely evil person. He has some good qualities and is willing to make amends for his mistakes.

    Of course not, he's just a slightly arrogant child, and he's actually kinder than his two henchmen.

    Previously, he intentionally bullied the other because the other person had initiated trouble first.

    If there's an opportunity to tame him, it could be good too. The Malfoy family is highly respected in pureblood wizarding society, and they might have some useful places to use before Voldemort's resurrection.

    In terms of Seeker, Beater, Chaser, and Keeper, he really doesn't see much difference in his eyes. In fact, he actually feels that being a Chaser is easier to enhance his reputation than being a Seeker.

    In normal matches, the Seeker is the most sought-after position.

    Because only the Seeker who catches the Golden Thief can end the match, and the Seeker who catches the Golden Thief can add up to one hundred and fifty points for their team.

    In most cases, if the levels of the two teams are not too different, it is unlikely that the score will differ by one hundred and fifty points.

    So, generally speaking, it is taken for granted that if the Seeker of one team catches the Golden Snitch, it means that team has won the match.

    If he were a Chaser and could pull the score above one hundred and fifty before the Seeker catches the Golden Snitch, he would shine even brighter than the Seeker.

    This is also a rare sight in the history of Quidditch balls at Hogwarts.

    Of course, these actions work on the innocent little Malfoy, but they wouldn't have any effect on the cunning old Malfoy like him.

    Big Malfoy has little loyalty to Voldemort.

    "That's a good point. Slytherin needs unity most of all. Since George willingly gave up, Malfoy will be the Seeker, and George will be the Chaser."

    Snape's rare smile was as ugly as crying.

    As the headmaster of Slytherin, seeing such a harmonious scene, naturally, he was very pleased. He also raised George's evaluation once again.

    At this age, to have such breadth of mind and ideas is truly rare.

    If he had had the same heart and thoughts as George, not dedicating all his time to studying dark magic, perhaps he wouldn't have fallen into the trap set by that bloody Potter, taking away Lily.

    "Keep practicing."

    After Snape left, everyone began their Quidditch training. George, as the new Chaser, also demonstrated his exceptional skills in that role.

    The Seeker's job is to catch the Golden Thief, the Keeper's job is to defend the goal, the Chaser's job is to hit the Quaffle ball and interfere with the opposing players, and the Chaser's job is to intercept the ghost ball and score.

    This shot can be made by hand, foot, or by hitting the flying broomstick, as long as magic is not used.

    George has a physical constitution comparable to Captain Flint, who has the bloodline of a giant beast, but he is much more agile in body, coupled with absolute control over the flying broomstick.

    Therefore, from catching the ball to dodging to shooting, he can do it all in one breath.
