Karl barely watched the Gryffindor and Slytherin Quidditch teams flying around, making tackles, and hitting Bludgers.
Well, actually, he didn't understand it.
Even Lee Jordan's passionate commentary was useless, because it only made him want to tap his foot.
It wasn't until the Golden Snitch appeared that Harry was maliciously crashed into by Marcus Flint during the chase.
It's coming!
Karl picked up his binoculars, fixed his gaze on Quirrell, and wondered if he should take the opportunity to hit him and say hello to his long-unseen senior, Tom.
As Madam Hooch finished her ruling and the game resumed, Quirrell's lips began to move.
"? What's wrong with Harry Potter?"
Cho, who had been studying flying techniques, quickly noticed Harry's broomstick swerving left and right in the air, shaking violently, completely unlike his previous fast and smooth flying.
Hearing this, Cedric, who had been analyzing the two teams' formations, quickly looked up and saw that Harry was flying higher and higher, even leaving the Quidditch Pitch.
"It looks like there's a problem with his broomstick; he seems to have lost control."
Just then, Harry began to tumble and roll high in the air, and was soon flung off his wildly twisting Nimbus 2000, clinging to the broom with only one hand, suspended in mid-air.
The young Wizards in the stands cried out in terror, their emotions stretched to the limit.
"Oh my God! He's going to fall to his death!"
Nina reached out and pulled Cho back, who was about to fall off the stands. "Don't panic! The Professors are all here!"
Karl frowned, realizing something was wrong. He had clearly seen Hermione bump into Quirrell, interrupting his spell.
But Harry's broomstick still hadn't returned to normal! There was still someone else causing trouble!
Karl quickly shifted his binoculars to Snape, and saw Hermione quickly set fire to the hem of his robe.
Not long after, Snape discovered his clothes were on fire, gasped, and stopped chanting, and countless screams immediately erupted in the stands.
Harry Potter fell!
Karl quickly glanced at Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick rushing down from the stands, knowing that with them there, nothing could go wrong.
So he moved his binoculars, intending to keep an eye on Quirrell again, to see if he could find anything.
However, at that moment, Karl's pupils instantly dilated, and his movements stopped.
This wasn't because of Snape's complex expression of shock, worry, urgency, and fear, but because behind Snape, someone's face revealed a peculiar smile.
Although it was only fleeting, and the person quickly composed herself, standing up like the other Slytherin students, Karl was sure that what he had just seen was not an illusion.
This was a young Witch, with delicate features and a tall figure. Even observing her through binoculars, one could still feel her elegant demeanor and composed bearing.
She looked very similar to Senior Judy, but she didn't have that gentle aura; instead, her expression was full of arrogance.
At this moment, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick had already caught Harry, who had fallen from a high altitude, and all the young Wizards in the Quidditch Pitch breathed a sigh of relief.
Especially after Harry pulled the Golden Snitch out of his mouth, the previously tense atmosphere immediately became joyful.
Everyone began to discuss the thrilling moment, and the entire Quidditch Pitch was filled with excited chatter.
"Wow! You scared me to death!"
A relieved Cho hugged Nina and let out a long breath. If something had really gone wrong just now, she worried she would develop a psychological shadow of Quidditch in the future.
"It's okay, Cho, this was just an accident. If you're scared, I can accompany you in the future—ah!"
Cedric, who was comforting Cho, was pulled away by Karl before he could finish his sentence.
"Help me look! Who is the young Witch behind Professor Snape in the Slytherin stands?"
"Huh? Oh!"
Cedric took the binoculars Karl handed him and quickly looked.
"I know her. She's Slytherin's Prefect this year, Gemma Farley, a fifth-year."
"Gemma Farley—"
Karl recalled the name. She seemed to be just a background character in the original story. Could she be the one who attacked Harry?
