440. Enter the finals gymnasium
"What do you say? Professor Black. ”
Scott turned his head to look at Sirius.
He had already sensed Sirius coming with Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and he didn't stop talking because he had confirmed their identities.
"I've already said it, just call me Sirius."
Sirius grinned.
Harry's eyes widened and he asked, "You just said that there might be an accident in today's game?" Is there any basis for this? ”
Scott shook his head, "No, I'm not sure about anything, so I just wanted to remind everyone to be careful." ”
"Seriously, I hope you're not a crow's mouth." Ron's whole face wrinkled.
Scott shrugged his shoulders.
"It's right to be careful." Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder, "No one could have predicted the actions of those madmen. ”
Hermione said with an unhappy expression, "I also wonder why the Ministry of Magic didn't cancel this game since that happened?" This is irresponsible! ”
"Because nothing is more important than Quidditch!" Fred and George said in unison.
The others looked at Hermione with disapproval, as if she had just said something rebellious.
"Oh!" Hermione was a little annoyed, "Do you only have Quidditch on your mind?" Shouldn't safety be more important? ”
"It's the World Cup! Final! Ron's expression was exaggerated, "Wizards all over the world are watching this game!" ”
"And you're here too, aren't you?" Harry said with a smile.
"I ...... I just don't want to miss an appointment. Hermione said with a blushing face.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Ron grinned, "Even if something happens, my dad and Bill can take us away with their apparitions." ”
"I still can't understand it." Hermione looked at Scott, "The news has been in the newspapers, but the foreigners are still here. And the British Ministry of Magic, if something happens, they will probably be to blame. ”
Scott spread his hands.
Maybe this is the wizard.
Many times, wizards were chaotic and crazy to Muggles, like the men in the camp who wore women's clothes.
If it were a Muggle government, it would never dare to gather countless people like this and take risks when it was threatened by terrorists.
But wizards are unreasonable about Quidditch fanaticism.
Sirius smiled mysteriously, "The Ministry of Magic has made more than that. ”
His words aroused everyone's curiosity, but no matter how much he asked, he shook his head and didn't say anything, just told them, and he would know when the time came.
Scott looked at him with some surprise.
In this situation, could it be that the Triwizard Tournament can really be held?
Why did he feel so unreliable?
The day passed quickly.
By the end of the evening, the people in the camp had already begun to get excited, and the atmosphere was getting more and more enthusiastic.
When night falls, the wizards have completely abandoned their clumsy disguises and are free to use their magic.
The Ministry of Magic seems to have succumbed to the inevitable trend and no longer antagonized to the people, choosing instead to let it go.
A group of vendors descend from the sky through apparition.
They hold trays in their hands, push carts, and attract people's attention with a variety of dazzling goods.
There are glowing rose-shaped coats of arms, green for Ireland and red for Bulgaria,
These badges can even scream the names of the team members.
There is a green tall hat decorated with a clover dancing in the wind.
There is a Bulgarian belt, and the lion printed on it will really roar.
There are national flags of the two countries, and when they are waved, their national anthems are played.
There are statues of famous team members for collection, and those small statues can walk around in the palm of your hand with a triumphant look.
There is also a small model of a fire crossbow arrow that can really fly.
Scott: They also circled around the vendors and paid for a few badges.
Eddie regretfully said, "We should have prepared a long time ago, and then joined them, and then made a lot of money!" ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to cover his chest, revealing a painful expression, as if he had really missed a hundred million.
Scott laughed.
"It's not like we don't have nothing to make in the future." He looked at the twins.
Fred and George grinned and said to Eddie, "Unfortunately, Eddie, I'm afraid I don't have your share in this money-making plan." ”
"No!" Eddie's eyes widened, "We're partners, don't even think of leaving me behind whatever you do!" ”
The twins looked at each other, then at Scott, "What do you think, Scott?" ”
Scott couldn't help but smile, "It's good that you decide." ”
Eddie jumped up and down for a long time before Fred and George "reluctantly" got him to join their plan.
It wasn't until he heard the words that Eddie finally stopped satisfied.
Roger said cool words on the side, "You still don't know what their plan is, whether they make money or not, so you are in such a hurry to join." ”
"Hmph, you don't know that." Eddie raised his head proudly, "A few of us have made a move, and there is never a time when we don't make money!" ”
Fred and George immediately walked over to Eddie, and one of them put a hand on his left and right shoulders.
"Thank you for your trust, Eddie!"
"In that case, the most important task in this plan is handed over to you!"
"What?" The fat on Eddie's face trembled, "How do I have a sense of foreboding." ”
"You're thinking too much." Fred patted him on the left shoulder, "This is the most crucial step in this plan. ”
George patted him on the right shoulder, "We all agree that it's safest to leave it to you!" ”
"Okay, what do you want me to do, please just tell me!" Eddie asked with a bitter face.
"Good."
Fred smiled with satisfaction.
He pulled [Magic Camera] out of his pocket and slipped it into Eddie's hand.
"Your mission is to record the whole game today with [Magic Camera]!"
"We'll be able to sell the finals when school starts!" ”
Eddie looked at the cylindrical [Magic Camera] in his hand, and his chubby face collapsed completely.
"You want me to be a photographer?" He said dissatisfiedly, "Wouldn't I be able to watch the game with all my heart?" ”
Fred and George immediately changed their faces.
"Eddie, we trust you to give you this task."
"If you can't do anything, why would we want you to join our money-making program?"
"What about you?" Eddie was not convinced, "What are you going to do?" ”
Fred grinned and said, "We, we provide [magic cameras], and of course, there will be sales later." ”
"I'm in charge of editing and post-production." Scott said.
Eddie was dumbfounded, then rolled his eyes to reveal a treacherous expression.
"It's not enough for me alone." He said.
"What's not enough?" George asked.
"There aren't enough camera slots." Eddie explains, "I can only shoot one angle by myself, and in that case, even with post-editing, it will still look very monotonous, so ......"
He looked at the twins with the same grin.
"You also have to be in charge of shooting, just in time, we are not seated together, so we can record different angles!"
"We don't need to." Fred immediately refused.
"yes, it's enough to have you." George nodded in agreement.
"The more exciting our films look, the better they sell!" Eddie stared at them tightly and asked bitterly, "Tell me, don't you want to make more money?" ”
"This ......"
As soon as Eddie mentions the money, the twins hesitate.
Eddie hurriedly took advantage of the victory to chase, "Fred, George, don't forget your joke shop, it's just sacrificing some emotions while watching the game, what is it for the sake of ideals?" ”
"We ......"
Both Fred and George's expressions loosened.
Eddie kept up his efforts, "What's more, there are two of you, you can take turns shooting, and everyone can still enjoy half the fun!" ”
"Okay."
"We'll shoot a copy too."
For the sake of money, Fred and George completely compromised.
"That's right." Eddie smiled triumphantly, "It's all about making money, what's not to do?" ”
Scott watched the scene amusedly.
Fred and George were also persuaded to do so, and Eddie was really firing on fire in order to pull them into the water.
At this moment, a low and deep gong sound was heard from somewhere in the distance of the woods, and the next moment, thousands of red, green, and green lanterns bloomed brightly on the trees, brightening the way to the arena.
"It's time!" Mr. Weasley excitedly said to the crowd, "Hurry up, let's go!" ”
He offered to lead the way in front, and the group talked and laughed, and walked quickly into the woods through the road illuminated by the lantern.
The people in the camp were already moving, as if there were hundreds of people walking around them.
The frenzied excitement is contagious, and everyone has a cheerful expression on their faces as far as the eye can see.
The shouts, laughter, and cacophony of singing were incessant, and Scott had to speak loudly to each other.
Rimbaud had been standing obediently on Scott's shoulder, and Scott turned his head to look at it from time to time, worried that the Blackwing Lord would be squeezed in.
Twenty minutes later, they came out of the woods on the other side.
By this time they were already in the shadow of a huge gymnasium.
Scott looked up and could only see part of the magnificent wall of gold around the arena.
The stadium was obviously very tall, and it seemed that ten cathedrals would not be a problem in it.
"It can accommodate 100,000 spectators." Mr. Weasley enthusiastically introduced the crowd, "Five hundred staff members of the Ministry of Magic have been busy with this for a whole year. Every inch of the place has been cast with a Muggle banishment spell. Throughout the year, whenever Muggles approached here, they would suddenly remember a hundred thousand urgent things and hurried away...... May God bless them. ”
As he spoke, he led everyone to the nearest entrance, which was already filled with yelling wizards.
"First class ticket." The wizard from the Ministry of Magic at the entrance looked at the ticket in Mr. Weasley's hand, "Penthouse!" Go upstairs, Arthur, to the top. ”
The staircase leading to the stadium was covered with a fuchsia carpet, and they walked through the ticket gates and up the stairs with the crowd.
Once there, Roger and Eddie were separated from them and entered different stands.
"My dad is waiting for us, see you later!"
Roger waved at Scott and squeezed into the crowd with Eddie.
Scott followed Mr. Weasley's footsteps all the way up to the top of the stairs.
They came to a small box at the top of the gymnasium.
The view here is the best, right in front of the golden goalposts.
Inside the box, there are about twenty purple and gilded chairs, divided into two rows.
They sat directly in the front row, stretching their necks to look down.
A total of 100,000 wizards were taking their seats one after another, and those seats were arranged in a stepped upward pattern around the oval-shaped gymnasium.
Everything here is shrouded in a mysterious golden glow that seems to come from the stadium itself.
From the top of their seats, the whole arena was as smooth as velvet.
On each side of the field were three pitching goals, fifty feet high.
To the right of the goal, almost parallel to their line of sight, was a huge blackboard.
At this time, golden words kept flashing on the blackboard, as if there was an invisible giant hand writing on the blackboard, and then erasing them.
It was all an advertisement for the audience in the stadium.
[Cornflower: a flying broom for the whole family – safe, reliable, with a built-in burglar buzzer...... ]
[Mrs. Skoll All-purpose Miracle Stain Remover: Effortless, removes stains...... ]
[Wizarding Outfit - London, Paris, Hogsmeade...... ]
For the next half hour, from time to time, people entered the box they were in.
Mr. Weasley kept shaking hands with people, who were generally well-dressed and seemed to be of great stature.
Whenever Mr. Weasley shook hands with someone, Percy hurriedly stood up and bowed, causing his brothers to look at him strangely.
Again, Sirius, however, is a much more maverick than Mr. Weasley.
He didn't seem to be very willing to deal with those people, and he opened a robe to show some of the tattoos on his chest, and even sat like a ruffian, chatting and laughing quietly with Harry who was sitting next to him.
It wasn't until Ms. Burns, the Director of Law Enforcement, and Bagman, the Director of the Department of Physical Education, accompanied the Bulgarian Minister of Magic to the box that Sirius casually straightened his robes and greeted Ms. Burns.
Bagman took advantage of Ms. Burns' conversation with the Bulgarian Minister of Magic to the front row and complained to Mr. Weasley.
"Oh, Arthur, you must have no idea how tired I am." He lowered his voice, "We don't have a minister now, Barty?" Crouch is suspended, Amelia? Burns was so busy that there was no one to help me, and the Bulgarian wizard couldn't understand English at all......"
At this moment, Ms. Burns called him, and he quickly turned and ran back.
"Alright, it's finally time to get started!"
After a few seconds, he quickly ran back again.
Bagman straightened his round belly and drew his wand, pointing it at his throat.
"Loud voice!"
His voice resounded like thunder throughout the stadium
The pavilion clearly spreads to every corner of the stands.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Welcome! Come and watch the final of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup! ”
The stadium immediately erupted in deafening cheers and applause.
The audience waved colorful flags and sang a messy national anthem, and everyone's enthusiasm had reached its highest point, and the atmosphere was almost about to explode.
On the blackboard opposite, the advertisement for Bibi Duowei beans disappeared, and now it shows -
Bulgaria: 0, Ireland: 0.
"Okay, without further ado, allow me to introduce ...... The mascot of the Bulgarian national team! ”
A neat bright red phalanx on the right side of the stands erupted into loud cheers at this moment.
"I don't know what they brought." Mr. Weasley said, leaning out of his seat.
"Ahh He took off his glasses abruptly and hurriedly wiped them on his robe, "Mei Wa! ”
At this time, a hundred Meiwa were neatly sliding towards the arena.
Scott also saw Mei Wa for the first time.
They look like human women, but they are much prettier than humans.
Their skin shone as soft as the moon, and although there was no wind, their golden hair fluttered smoothly behind their heads like silk.
Just then, the music started and the girls began to dance.
Looking at the dancing and charming figures of those beauties who did not look like real people, Scott's mind suddenly flooded with joy.
The joy was light enough to make him react uncontrollably and violently like the other boys, but it also made him smile unconsciously.
Scott blinked, and ran the Occlumency in time to suppress the false joy.
By this time, one of Harry's legs was already on the railing, and Ron made a gesture that seemed to be about to dive off the gangplank.
Fred and George, though not so embarrassed, also stared at each other and did not blink.
Neither Mr. Weasley nor Sirius lost their temper, but instead of stopping Harry and Ron, they looked at the two boys and laughed.
It wasn't until the girls finished dancing and left that Harry and Ron came to their senses.
The gymnasium was filled with angry yells from men, and many people were reluctant to leave.
"Now, please raise your wand into the air!" Bagman's sonorous voice rang out again, "Welcome to the mascot of the Irish national team!" ”
"Whoosh!"
A huge golden-green comet flew into the gymnasium.
It flew around the museum,
