Gradually, there were more people in the box.

Mr. Weasley began to shake hands with people who were wizards of high standing, rich and noble.

Even busier than Mr. Weasley is Percy, who has just graduated and successfully joined the Department of International Magical Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic, and is now Crouch Sr.'s personal assistant, in front of these big people, Patcy is just an "unknown" little person, but he does not dare to slack off in the slightest, and has been constantly standing up, sitting, standing up, sitting.

Not long after, Minister Fudge and Minister Oberansk of the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic came in, and Percy even dropped his glasses to the ground and shattered them because he had bowed too low and too fast.

While he silently used his magic to fix his glasses, Minister Fudge spoke enthusiastically to Harry and introduced him to Minister Obernske.

When Malfoy Sr. came in with her wife and little Malfoy, the atmosphere instantly became much more tense. The feud between Malfoy and the Weasleys is known to almost everyone, and they are bitter rivals.

"Arthur, what did you sell to get a seat in the top box? Do you have so much money in your family? Old Malfoy whispered, his tone full of contempt.

Before Mr. Weasley could reply, Minister Fudge said to Mr. Weasley, "Lucius recently donated a large sum of money to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, and he is my guest of honor, Arthur. ”

"That's great." Mr. Weasley's face was ugly, and there was always a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice.

Old Malfoy looked like a haughty peacock, his eyes scanning the box, and when he saw Hermione again, his expression was even more contemptuous. As for Ike, he was directly ignored by him.

He didn't know who it was, but he had the impression that he had mixed up with the lowly Weasley.

Everyone greeted each other, and not long after, Ludo Bagman, the director of the Department of Physical Education of the Ministry of Magic, hurriedly walked in.

"Can we start? Minister. Ludo Bagman asked Fudge.

"Anytime, Ludo." Minister Fudge looked very kind.

Ludo nodded respectfully, walked to the edge of the fence, looked at the whole stadium full of people, drew his wand and pointed it at his throat and said, "Loud voice! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 422nd Quidditch World Cup Final!"

As Ludo's words fell, the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Then, Ludo began to follow the process in an orderly manner.

First, the mascots of Bulgaria and Ireland appeared in the final. The mascots of the Bulgarian team are the girls, whose graceful dancing has a strong charm effect and is very attractive to men.

As a result, all kinds of unimaginable ugliness were staged together, and some people even jumped directly from the high stands and rushed straight to Meiwa in the performance.

Looking at the performance of Ron and Harry in the box, Hermione was very angry, and when she saw Ike who was as unmoved as Mr. Weasley, she only felt that her two friends were really embarrassed.

stepped forward and pulled a person, and the two of them were a little sober.

Then there was the mascot of the Irish team, countless Irish leprechauns flying through the air, throwing gold coins around, causing almost everyone to scramble.

After the chaos, it was time for the players from both sides to enter. Ludo introduced the players from both sides one by one, and each one drew cheers from the crowd, which culminated in Bulgaria's Seeker Krum.

As the referee, International Quidditch Federation President Hassan Mustafa, kicked open the box containing the match ball, and the fierce match began.

On the field, the players on both sides flew fast, and the powerful performance of the fire ballista was vividly reflected by them. Ireland were the dominant team as a whole, scoring almost all the time and pulling away the lead very quickly.

Then, the Bulgarian players started to move bigger, and people kept getting hurt. At the same time, the girls go into action, influencing the Irish players with their graceful dancing, which in turn provokes the Irish leprechauns to fight back.

For a while, the players of the two teams were in a fierce game over the court, and the mascots of the two sides below also fought, which made the cheers in the stadium louder and louder, so that Ludo, who used a loud curse, had to shout to explain.

Hermione was so excited that her face flushed, and she kept describing to Ike what was happening on the field. Ike was a little calmer, his attention had been focused on the little leprechaun and the bean who were fighting below, and he was still thinking that he would have the opportunity to grab a few and go back to study.

Suddenly, the Seekers of both teams, Lynch and Krum, swooped down to the ground, and with the deafening screams of the spectators, Lynch fell to the ground hard, and Krum, who was close behind him, caught the Golden Snitch.

But alas, they ended up losing the game by 10 points.

"It's over!" Ludo shouted, "Krum has caught the Golden Snitch, but the Irish team has won the championship!" ”

With deafening cheers and screams, the players of both teams came to the top box. Minister Oberansk comforted the Bulgarian players, while Ireland took the trophy from Minister Fudge and slowly flew around the stadium and began the parade.

"What a game, Ike!" Hermione patted Ike on the arm excitedly and sighed quietly, "Oh Krum, it's a shame, they only came close to winning." ”

"No matter how many times they play, they won't win." Ike whispered back.

"Huh?" Hermione was a little surprised, she had always thought that Ike didn't understand Quidditch.

Ike saw the confusion in her eyes and whispered back, "I don't like Quidditch, but that doesn't mean I don't understand it." There is a big difference in the quality of the two teams, only Krum is the dominant player in the Bulgarian team, but Lynch of the Irish team is only slightly inferior, and to be honest, the gap is not big, at least not as big as the other players on both sides. ”

"The further back the game goes, the bigger the score will be, and the one time they dive, Krum only has one option to get the Golden Snitch before Lynch."

"With that kind of scene and opportunity, the Golden Snitch will definitely be caught."

"Is it going to be a 10-point deficit or a 310-point deficit...... Ike shrugged, "it's a pretty obvious thing. ”

"So yes, Krum is a pity."

When Ike said this, Hermione also figured it out. Glance thoughtfully at Krum, who was standing next to Minister Oberansk, who was in a depressed mood, and whispered, "Ike, he doesn't look like that kind of person. ”

"Hermione, he became the main player of the national team in his teens, and the world's No. 1 talented Seeker."

"Well, maybe you're right......" Hermione decided not to dwell on the subject with Ike, and instead threw Ike aside and got together with Ginny.

They decided to sign a photo together while the players were still in the box.

Ike was happy too, he needed a little composure now.

Before the start of the game, he took advantage of Hermione's absence to put all his value on the Irish team, although the odds were very low, but it also more than doubled. A little calculation, more than two thousand Galleons.

Guaranteed by the goblins at Gringotts, the money is still very secure.

The spectators slowly began to leave the stadium, and the people in the top boxes also left the stadium through a special passage.

Outside, it was far more noisy and crowded than inside the stadium, and people were venting their emotions unbridledly.

Happy, weeping, angry, cheerful, they sang loudly and screamed meaninglessly. Drinks, clothing, fireworks, and all sorts of souvenirs and items were thrown into the air and then fell. It's okay to hit someone, no one will care, but make a louder noise.

Ike took Hermione's hand tightly and squeezed his way back into their tent through the crowd, and when they were inside, the clothes on their bodies were already messed up and wet, and they didn't know if it was alcohol or some other unknown liquid.

"Oh my God, are these people crazy?" Hermione was a little frightened, this group of wizards was even crazier than those football fans, "Ginny also said that she shouldn't have come back with you when she went to her at night. ”

"You look like this...... Ike pointed to Hermione's clothes, "Ginny doesn't have anything for you to change into." ”

"I can wear her!" Hermione replied, and then reacted, "Okay, I'd better change my clothes first, and wait for a little bit of a stop outside." ”

"I think so." Ike chimed in.

The two of them went back to the house to change out of their dirty clothes and throw them aside. They are not going to wear these clothes contaminated with unknown liquids, even if there is a cleansing charm, it will still be disgusting, and it is better to destroy them directly.

After changing their clothes, the two sat side by side on the sofa in the living room, each holding a cup of Icker's special chocolate milk in their hands.

I don't know why, but Hermione surprisingly liked this strange way of eating, which made Ike very happy.

Gradually, the sound outside became a little quieter.

"It's almost now, I'll send you there." Ike went out to take a look, then said to Hermione.

"No, it's not far away." Hermione refused, put on another coat, and opened the door to the tent, "I'm leaving." ”

Ike nodded, sending Hermione out the door, and the moment she turned, her fingers moved slightly, and a pentagram mark landed on her.

He wasn't really in favor of Hermione going to Ginny. While Minister Fudge was busy shaking hands with the Irish players for a photograph, Ike noticed that the magic fluctuations belonging to Barty Jr. in the box had disappeared.

With it already determined that Barty Jr. would still carry out that attack, Ike felt that Hermione was better off next to him.

Of course, it's not bad on the Weasley side, and the mad Mrs. Weasley is very scary.

After unleashing a few protective spells on the tent, Ike finally went back to his room to sleep after spending a while in the living room.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt as if someone was attacking my protective magic, more than once.

"Boom, boom, boom"

With a very rhythmic roar, Ike sat down on the bed for a moment before putting on his clothes and getting out of bed.

I am still very confident in the protection I have set, and the constant roar in my ears is proof.

Outside the tent, several masked creatures were waving their wands, constantly attacking Ike's tent with flames. But every time the flame fell, it would dissipate as if it was blocked by something.

When Ike opened the door to the tent and walked out, they were still working tirelessly.

"Gentlemen, are you tired?" Ike said.

"What, just a kid with no hair?" A masked man spoke, stumbling under his feet and nearly falling.

"Drunks who mess around and destroy." Ike muttered to himself, but his gaze passed through the drunks in front of him and looked at the seeping green light in the distance.

"Boom!"

Another flame flew over the drunks, but Ike ignored it, his fingers moved slightly, and the flames collapsed directly. In the next second, these drunks were suddenly pulled into the air by a force, and then fell fiercely.

With a "snap", it was finally clearer.

In the distance, there were more and more people gathering, and it was almost impossible to see those wearing white hoods in the center, only the four people who were hanging in the air by magic could be seen, constantly assuming various strange poses.

Screams, cries, and countless people fanning the flames, unleashing their magic on the surrounding tents and fleeing crowds.

Flames, stones, and even people, it is impossible to guess what will fly in the next second.

It's not that no one tried to stop the destruction of the bunch of guys, but it was a drop in the bucket, and they were often carried away by the crowd before they even rushed close.

Ike saw two Ao Luo in leather clothes and wands rush towards him, but he was hit by a spell flying from nowhere, fell directly to the ground, and then disappeared into the crowd of people fleeing in all directions.

Walking forward with determination, with the mark that Hermione had secretly left on her clothes when she left, Ike wasn't worried about finding anyone at all.

It's just that in Ike's perception, although the imprint is constantly moving closer to his side, it will always change its direction from time to time, which makes it a lot more difficult for him to find.

After not knowing how many inexplicable magic flew over him, Ike finally saw Hermione. She was running in front of Ginny, but behind her there were several big men with red faces and screaming, throwing a few spells from time to time.

Hermione had some difficulty blocking it, and the people behind her were no longer the ones who chased her in the first place, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less, and the power of the spell was sometimes greater and sometimes less. Some are obstacle spells, some are disarming spells, but some are dangerous fire spells and explosion spells, which makes her only tense her nerves all the time, not daring to relax in the slightest.

If it weren't for Ginny's occasional smashing spell behind her, the two of them wouldn't have lasted so long.

"Ike!" Suddenly, Hermione saw Ike walking towards her, and immediately shouted, grabbed Ginny's arm and ran forward a few steps. Before he could get closer, he saw Ike's face suddenly turn sideways, and with a wave of his hand, a white light flew towards him quickly.

"Smack!"

The deafening sound exploded in their ears, as if they had been pushed by something, and Hermione and Ginny's bodies flew directly to the side, falling to the ground and rolling several times, slowing down for a while before they recovered.

"Ike!" Shouting, Hermione anxiously searched for Ike's figure, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Ike standing between herself and the group, crackling like firecrackers.

"Hermione, Ekta...... Is it so powerful? Ginny asked in a whisper as she took Hermione's arm.

Hermione didn't answer, her attention was on the battle in front of her. In a trance, it seemed that he was back in the screaming shack a year ago, and Ike was in front of him like he is now.

And it seems that Ike is still very relaxed now, he didn't even use his wand, just waved his right hand, and completely suppressed the group of hateful guys.

Before long, the men were all lying on the ground moaning. Ike then turned around, reached out and ruffled Hermione's loose hair, and examined it carefully.

"It's okay."

"It's fine." Hermione shook her head.

"Why just the two of you?" Ike asked, glancing at the embarrassed Ginny.

"We're scattered, Harry and Ron they should be in the woods." Hermione said, "Let's go find them, Fred and George are there, too. ”

"It's fine, but before that, there's a little trouble to solve." Ike nodded, then took Hermione and Ginny behind him.

At some point, four or five white-hooded guys blocked their way, and in the air above them, a child was spinning wildly.

The child's head seemed to be unsupported, and it was limp and tilted to this side, and then to that side.

"The kid...... Still alive? Hermione behind her asked.

"Perhaps."

As he spoke, he slowly drew his wand......
