Chapter 184: The Game Ends

Even the despicable measures taken did not save the Bulgarian team from declining. Although because of a little change in the rules, Krum still has a chance to turn the tide, but that chance is too slim.

It was two hours before the purple-gold snitch had a chance to appear, but before half the time had passed, the score was already 190 to 10.

Krum really didn't have much confidence in his teammate's monetization, perhaps because he couldn't bring the frustration of his bronze teammate, which made Krum a little discouraged, so that the Irish batsman seized the moment.

Krum was hit by a Bludger from Ireland's batsman Quigley, and his nose was bruised and blood was bleeding everywhere. Fortunately, this is in the wizarding world, and without the Dark Arts Curse, physical damage is easy to heal. If a Muggle had been hit in the nose by a speeding Bludger, the nose would have been largely scrapped.

And the Bulgarian Meiwa just used the charm magic on the referee The evil result appeared, and when Krum's injury seriously affected the game, the referee Hassan Mustafa did not blow the whistle to suspend the game. Then a baby throws a fire at him and sets his broom's tail on fire, giving Hassan all the more reason not to whistle. * (Team Ireland: Identification, this is a friendly force!) )

To add insult to injury, Lynch, the Irish Seeker, happened to find the Golden Snitch at this time.

Krum had no choice but to speed up after the severe pain. Krum's technique was really good, even though there seemed to be two blood bands floating on either side of his nose, but he still maintained his superb flying skills, successfully caught up with Lynch, grabbed the Golden Snitch, and then rose lightly into the air, and the hapless Lynch fell to the ground again.

Alas, poor fellow!

But the consolation for him was that they had won!

Krum raised his fist in the air, a golden light shining from his fingers.

The scoreboard flashed with the scoreline, Bulgaria: 160, Ireland: 200, and when Krum went to catch the Golden Snitch, his teammates gave another ten.

I'm so hard!

Krum was aggrieved and depressed, and when he met such a teammate, how could he be able to practice his own skills?

It's not a sin for a man to cry, and if he could, Krum would have wanted to cry!

Supporters of the Irish team erupted in countless shouts of joy, and the heat wave of cheers rose higher and higher. Krum fell lonely from the air, still clutching the Golden Snitch in his hand. It is like a tragic hero, and even supporters of Ireland cannot help but have respect for such a krum.

"Ireland wins!" Bagman, who likes the Irish team, shouted, seemingly bewildered by the abrupt end of the game, "Krum caught the Golden Snitch, but the Irish team won!" Oh my God, I don't think anyone expected this to happen! ”

"It's completely expected by you, how many gold coins can you earn this time?" Maple congratulated the Weasley brothers, who were smiling like flowers.

At this point, both Mr. Weasley and Ron pricked up their ears to find out, but the twins kept silent. Fifty Galleons is a hundred Galleons even if it is only doubled, and the twins gambled on something that no one expected, obviously it will not be as simple as just one or two times. A few hundred Galleons is a lot of money for the Weasleys, who are a little strapped for money. Bill Charlie and Roenginny are all happy, and the only one in the Weasley family who is not so happy about this is Percy.

At this moment, the Irish leprechauns were ecstatic to move through the field, and Krum was surrounded by a group of field doctors, but he refused to let them clean his wounds and scrub the blood, choosing to stay with his teammates.

His teammates also gathered around him, shaking their heads and looking dejected. Not far away, the Irish players danced with joy as their mascots threw gold showers at them. Flags were waved everywhere in the stadium and the Irish national anthem sounded from all directions. Meiwa returned to their original beautiful appearance, but they all looked dejected and sad.

"I said, we fought bravely." A heavy voice behind Harry said, and he turned his head to see that it was Bulgaria's Minister of Magic.

"You can speak English!" Fudge said, annoyed, "But you've made me here all day!" ”

"Hey, that's fun." The Bulgarian minister shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Now, the Irish players are circling the pitch in the company of their mascots, and the Quidditch World Cup trophy is delivered to the top box!" Bagman's bell-like voice said.

A dazzling bright light suddenly appeared in the box of Maple and them, and they couldn't open their eyes. Because the Minister of Magic, Fudge, was in this box, Maple put his wand in his sleeve and cast a spell silently, conjured up a few sunglasses, and handed them to Harry next to them to put on.

The sunglasses blocked out the glare of the glare, and they realized that the light was coming from a huge gold cup, and two panting wizards were carrying him into the box and handing the Quidditch trophy to the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

Fudge still looked unhappy, for he had spent the whole day trying to make the Bulgarians understand what he was saying, but he didn't think it was just a joke made by the Bulgarian Minister of Magic.

"Let's give us a round of applause and welcome the Bulgarian players to the stage!" Bagman shouted.

Seven Bulgarian players who had suffered defeat went upstairs and entered the box. The audience below applauded and cheered in appreciation.

One by one, the Bulgarian players walked between the two rows of seats in the box and shook hands with their ministers and Fudge, as Bagman shouted out everyone's name. Krum was at the end of the line, looking very embarrassed, with two dark circles on his bloodstained face and two dark circles standing out.

It's just surprising that Krum, who flies so well on a broomstick, is a little uncoordinated when he walks on the ground, his legs are a little outward, and his shoulders are obviously bent forward.

It seems to be a genetic physical defect, so much so that the experts at the magic hospital can't cure it.

But aside from a bit of a surprise, not many people care about Krum's flaw. When Bagman announced Krum's name, the entire stadium gave him an incomparably warm, deafening cheer.

Next on stage were the Irish team's players, Aidan Linzi, who was held by Moran and Connolly, and the second fall seemed to knock him unconscious, his eyes scattered and dazed. But when Troy and Quigley lifted the trophy high and the crowd erupted in thunderous applause, Linzzie grinned.

Finally, the Irish team left the box and rode around the field on a broomstick. At this time, Bagman pointed his wand to his throat and whispered, "Whisper." ”

"This game has been talked about for years," he said in a hoarse voice, "and it was an unexpected turn, but unfortunately it didn't go any longer." Ah, yes, yes, how much should I give you? ”

Fred and George had already flipped over from their chairs and stood in front of Ludo Bagman. They smiled happily and stretched out their outstretched palms.

As they slowly descended the fuchsia-carpeted staircase, Fred and George left only a hundred Galleons behind, leaving the rest to their father.

Mr. Weasley praised the twin brothers, and he didn't see anything wrong with the gold coins. Ludo Bagman lost a lot of money in this bet, but with the exception of the goblins at Gringotts, many wizards were tricked into being fooled by Ludo with the gold leprechaun coins.

It is difficult for wizards to tell the difference between the gold leprechaun and the gold Galleons from the subtle differences, and in addition to the Weasley brothers, there are also several wizards such as Cedric's father, Mr. Amos Diggory, who only found out that it was the gold coin of the leprechaun after the gold coin disappeared.

They were quickly overwhelmed by the tidal crowd that was also about to return to camp, and they moved slowly through the crowd (with Maple's shroud magic at its disposal) while the Irish mascots, leprechauns, darted up and down above them, waving lanterns in their hands, quacking and laughing, and occasionally singing gruff songs.

When I finally got back to the tent, it was so noisy that I couldn't rest quietly. Of course, Harry Ron himself was too excited to sleep, so they had a heated discussion about the event just now.

Finally Ginny fell asleep at the small table and spilled a cup of hot chocolate on the floor, at which point Mr. Weasley ordered everyone to stop arguing about the game and go to bed.

Hermione and Ginny slipped into the tent next to them, and Maple got out of the tent, casting a silent mute spell on Hermione and their tent, and then burrowed back into the tent.

Maple applied a sound weakening force to their own tents, not completely blocking out the outside noise, but greatly reducing it.

Maple then changed into his pajamas like Harry and crawled to their bunk to sleep. The singing outside their camp continued, and the strange crashing sound echoed in the night sky for a long time, but it was faint to their ears.

"Oh, it's good that I'm not on duty," Mr. Weasley muttered sleepily, "It's a good thing I wouldn't have had to tell the Irish to stop celebrating the victory, otherwise it would have been unimaginable." ”

Under the magic of Maple's noise-weakening noise, they quickly fell asleep from exhaustion.

I don't know how long I fell asleep, but the sound of the camp changed, as if there were suddenly screams and the sound of people running in a panic.

The reason why Maple didn't cast the mute spell in their tent was to prevent this kind of emergency, and Maple, who knew about the riot in advance, and Mr. Weasley, who was the most alert in the tent, woke up first, and then Mr. Weasley went to wake up the others, and Maple quietly canceled the mute spell.

"It's too late, Harry, grab a coat and get out, hurry!" Mr. Weasley himself wears his denim directly over his pajamas.

The others were not much different, only Maple was the most neatly dressed, and when Mr. Weasley woke up the others, Maple quickly got out of the tent, removed the mute charm from Hermione and their tent, put on the protective charm of the armor, and then woke them up loudly.

In the light of the burning fires, the wizards swarmed towards the woods like ants in a hot pot, as if to escape something moving towards them on the camp. The thing was strangely glowing and making a sound like a gunshot.

Loud laughter, wild laughter, drunken shouts also moved towards them. Then, a bright green light flashed, illuminating everything around it.

A group of wizards huddled together, each pointing their wands upwards and pushing forward together, slowly moving around the field.

They wore hoods on their heads and face masks. Above their heads, four struggling figures floated in the air, twisted into various strange shapes, as if the masked wizards on the ground were puppeteers, and the men above them were marionettes, controlled by invisible ropes that emerged from their wands into the air, two of them small.

More wizards joined the group, laughing loudly and pointing to the bodies floating above. As the procession grew, the tents collapsed. From time to time, some wizards even took the opportunity to use magic to set fire to several roadside tents, and several tents were set on fire. The screams got louder.

As the floating men passed by the burning tents and were suddenly illuminated by the firelight, Maple could clearly see that the figures floating were Mr. Roberts, the camp keeper, and his wife and children. One of the marchers below used a wand to turn Mrs. Roberts head-down. Mrs. Roberts' pajamas fell down, revealing a large pile of fancy panties, and the crowd below screamed and heckled with joy as she struggled to cover herself.

"It's disgusting." Ron muttered, looking at the youngest Muggle child, who was sixty feet above the ground, and began to spin like a spinning top, his head tilting limply to this side, to that side, "It's so unusual... ”

Hermione and Ginny hurried towards them, putting their coats over their pajamas, Mr. Weasley following them. Just then, Bill, Charlie, and Percy also emerge from the boys' tent. They were fully dressed, their sleeves rolled up high, and their wands in their hands.

"We're going to help keep order in the Ministry!" Mr. Weasley's voice drowned out the noise as he rolled up his sleeves, "You people, go into the woods, walk together, and don't fall apart." I'll come back to you when the matter is settled! ”

Bill, Charlie, and Percy were already running towards the oncoming procession, and Mr. Weasley hurried after him. The staff of the ministry rushed to the accident site from all directions, and the group of people below the Roberts family got closer and closer.

"Let's go." Fred said, grabbing Ginny's hand and dragging her into the woods. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and George followed. As they got into the woods, they all turned their heads to look behind them, and saw that the team under the Roberts family was even bigger than before. They could see the wizarding staff in the ministry desperately trying to rush in and get close to the hooded wizards in the middle, but they had great difficulty. It seems that they did not dare to cast any magic, for fear that the Roberts family would fall.

The lights that lit up the stadium have now been extinguished. There were dark figures stumbling through the woods, little children crying, nervous, anxious shouts and talking echoing in the cold night sky around them.

Ron let out a sudden cry of pain.

"What's going on?" Hermione asked nervously, slamming to a halt - Harry bumped into her, "Ron, where are you?" Oh, we're so stupid, fluorescent flashes! ”

She lit her wand and illuminated the path with the narrow pillar of light. Ron lay on the ground, curled up in a ball.

"I tripped over the roots." He said in a huff and got up from the ground.

"What about Maple? Why didn't you see him? Hermione said anxiously when she saw that there were only Harry and Ron around her.

"I don't know, maybe I'm separated." Ron said.

"Hmph, with those feet, it's hard not to trip." A dragging voice sounded behind them.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione spun around. Draco Malfoy stood alone, leaning against a tree, looking laid-back. He crossed his arms, and it looked like he had been watching the chaos of the camp through the cracks in the trees.

Seeing that Maple was not by their side, Malfoy was much emboldened and dared to come out and taunt Ron. He had wanted this for a long time, but he had been pressed by Maple's power, which made Malfoy's life less fun.

Ron said a foul word to Malfoy, but Malfoy wasn't particularly uncomfortable, "Speak cleanly," Malfoy's eyes seemed to glow, indicating his master's happy mood, "I think you'd better hurry up and run away!" You don't want her to be discovered, do you? ”

He nodded at Hermione, and just then, there was a loud bang from the other side of the camp, like a bomb being dropped, and a green light suddenly illuminated the trees around them.

"What do you mean by that?" Hermione asked, unconvinced.

"Granger, they're looking for Muggles." Malfoy said, "Would you like to show your underpants in mid-air?" Stay here if you want. They're coming this way, and we can all laugh. ”

"Hermione is a witch." Harry roared angrily.

"Whatever you want, Potter," Malfoy said, a grim smile on his face, for in Malfoy's opinion, Maple was only a hegemon among the students, not enough compared to his father's group of Death Eaters, which emboldened Malfoy a lot more and spoke more unscrupulously, "If you think they can't identify the Mudbloods, just stay here." ”

"Be careful when you speak!" Ron shouted. As everyone in the room knows, "Mudblood" is a nasty phrase used to scold wizards whose parents are Muggles.

"Ignore him, Ron." Hermione said hurriedly, and when she saw Ron taking a step closer to Malfoy, she grabbed Ron's arm and stopped him.

Suddenly, there was a bang on the other side of the woods, more deafening than anything they had heard. A few people screamed, and Malfoy chuckled softly.

"Too easily frightened, these people, huh?" He said lazily, "I guess your dad told you all to hide, right?" What was he going to do, to get those Muggles out? ”

"What about your parents?" Harry got angry and said, "Over there, masked, isn't it?" ”

Malfoy turned his face to Harry, still smiling.

"I mean, even if they're there, I don't want to tell you, right, Potter?"

"Oh, let's go," Hermione said, glancing at Malfoy with disgust, "let's go find the others." ”

"Lower your shaggy head, Granger." Malfoy scoffed.

"Let's go." Hermione said it again, pulling Harry and Ron back on their way.

"I bet you, his dad must be one of those masked guys!" Ron said angrily. "If Maple had been there, he would never have dared to be so arrogant."

"If you're lucky, the ministry will catch him!" Hermione said excitedly, "Oh, I can't believe it. Maple, where are the others? ”

Fred, George, and Ginny were nowhere to be seen, and the path was crowded with people, all of whom turned nervously to look in the direction of the commotion in the camp. On the side of the path, a group of young men and girls in pajamas huddled together, arguing noisily about something.

Harry and the others saw a little girl with thick curly hair from Beauxbatons, another school of witchcraft and wizardry in Europe, and when they learned that Harry was from Hogwarts, the Beauxbatons students quickly left to find their headmaster, Lady Maxim.

Harry and the others continued to search for their companions, and Ron drew his wand, lit it up with a fluorescent charm like Hermione, and squinted his eyes down the path.

Harry searched for his wand in the pocket of his coat, only to find that his wand was missing, and that all he had in his pocket was the panoramic telescope.

"Oops, oops, I can't believe it - I lost my wand!"

"You're kidding!"

Ron and Hermione raised their wands in the air, allowing the slender pillars of light to illuminate even more. Harry searched and searched, but couldn't find his wand.

"Maybe it's in the tent." Ron said.

"Could it be that it fell out of your pocket when you ran just now?"

Hermione asked anxiously.

"yes," said Harry, "probably ... ”

In the wizarding world, he always carried his wand with him at all times, and at this moment, he felt weak and helpless when he found that his wand was missing.

In fact, while watching the game, Maple had quietly noticed that an invisible hand had quietly taken away his wand from Harry's back, but Maple did not stop him.

And at this moment, Maple was not with Hermione, not that they were separated, but that Maple did not go this way at all.

As Harry and the others left, Maple headed for the hooded wizard.

After Maple separated from the fleeing crowd of wizards, Animagus transformed into a bat and flew after him, and when he was not far from them, Maple reverted to his original form in a dark place, and immediately cast an illusion spell on himself.

Animagus is inconvenient for this, and after casting the illusion spell, he transforms and his invisibility disappears. If you can continue to maintain the Illusion Charm after Animagus transforms, it will be too beneficial for the battle.

"Loud voice!"

"Voldemort!" The invisible Maple roared, but it was more powerful than any magic. The crowd at the scene, not only did evil, but even the personnel of the Ministry of Magic were all trembling.

The procession stopped instantly, and Voldemort's name, like the shadow of a demon, instantly turned their procession into a riot.

Then suddenly a ball flew through the air, and immediately exploded over the crowd, splashing unknown objects all around.

"Ahh After the explosion, the frightened crowd let out more intense screams, and they were relieved to feel their faces uneasily and find that they were not poisonous.

"This, this is... But before the crowd who wanted to flee could cast a phantasmagion and leave, they suddenly felt dizzy...

Heh, just Voldemort's name plus a powerful anesthetic gas bomb, Maple only cast a simple levitation charm, and the fight was over.

If Maple had used the black magic of a thunderbolt explosion just now, I'm afraid all of them would have died. The mere name of Voldemort made these people panic, and it was really speechless that they didn't use any magic defenses before Maple released a tranquilizer bomb modified from a big dung egg.

Of course, Maple's anesthetic gas was an indiscriminate attack, and in addition to Maple himself, who had done the prevention, the personnel of the Ministry of Magic and the Muggles were all hit, and Mr. Weasley and Bill Charlie Percy were not spared. Let you be dismissive of the Muggles, just the tricks of the Muggles have taken them all down, and of course the anesthetic is added to the potion of life and death water.

Although the effect of the drug is reduced by air diffusion, it can also make them sleep for at least two or three hours.

"Forget it!" Maple waited for the anesthetic gas to dissipate before he stepped forward and cast the Oblivion Charm on the Roberts family, then used the Levitation Charm to move them to the Ministry of Magic.

Finally taking advantage of these people's carelessness, (the Ministry of Magic personnel have done a great job, if it weren't for their incompetence, those Death Eaters wouldn't be so alert) Maple wouldn't just walk away.
