Chapter 187: The World Cup and Turmoil
Quidditch World Cup Stadium.
Before you even enter, you can hear laughter, shouts, and staccato singing.
"It's the best event in the wizarding world."
A panoramic telescope was bought from the vendor, a versatile telescope that can replay the footage, slow motion, and detect the tactical formations used by the team.
John played with curiosity, his ticket was first-class, in the top box.
The people here are either Ministry of Magic officials or rich and rich.
Hagrid stood beside him, excitement on his face.
The purple gilt chair was a little too small for Hagrid, and he wanted to stand, but John helped him make it bigger.
The crowd below bustled in like ants, and Daphne ran over and sat down next to John.
Mrs. Greengrass looked at her, but said nothing, but Mr. Greengrass was a little displeased.
Hagrid was so nervous that he nearly broke the telescope.
John looked over and saw Madame Maxim, surrounded by students in Beauxbatons uniforms.
You can also see the silver-haired heads of Fleur and her sister Gabrielle, who did not come to the box, but were all in the blue silk school uniform below.
Hagrid looked straight at Madame Maxime, and John looked at Hagrid, and then at Madame Maxim.
Hagrid muttered, "She's beautiful. โ
"Poofโ"
Seeing him look like an old tree in spring, John's jaw dropped in shock.
When the Malfoys arrived, father and son were carved out of a mold, and by Lucius's side was her wife, Narcissa, a beautiful woman.
In addition to them, there is a house-elf that looks like Dobby, which is particularly noticeable, with a tea towel around its body to wipe the tea set, and buries its face in its hands.
John looked over and looked slightly moved.
He saw something hidden next to the elf.
It should be the Cloak of Invisibility, John stared over there, and the person in the Cloak seemed to perceive it, and he looked over.
John turned his head and pretended not to see.
To the right of the box on the top floor, almost parallel, there is a large blackboard.
Golden words flashed on it, as if an invisible hand was writing on the blackboard.
It was the Quidditch World Cup advertising area, and the blackboard was big enough for everyone to see what was written.
"Cornflower: A flying broom for the whole family, safe and reliable, with a built-in burglar buzzer."
"Mrs. Skoll All-In-One Miracle Stain Remover: Effortless, Stain Removal!"
"Fengya Wizard Costume ......"
"Silver Hand Johnny Specialty Store: The most exquisite and comprehensive prop service for wizards."
"Silver Hand Press: We don't produce knowledge, we're just carriers of knowledge, and we hope that every outstanding article will light up the wizarding world."
"Silver Hand Angel Investment: Want My Galleon? Take it if you want! Bring your clever ideas and the silver hand will navigate for you! โ
"Silver Hand Cellars: Magic 1993, Bringing Delicious Taste to Every Family."
"Silver Hand ......"
John looked at the silver words that kept popping up, and carefully calculated, his business territory was already so wide.
Hagrid smacked his mouth and said in a rough voice, "Silverhand Cellar, that's the darling of the bar, I drank a bottle last time, and it tasted much better than beer." โ
Harry noticed the house-elves and almost thought it was Dobby.
"Dobby?"
"Did the gentleman call me Dobby?" The elf opened some of his fingers, and his voice was high-pitched.
Harry didn't quite understand the difference between men and women between elves, but he guessed it was a woman.
He hurriedly said sorry and admitted his mistake, but the house-elf unexpectedly knew Dobby.
"My name is Twinkle."
Twinkle notices the scar on Harry's head, and she lets out a scream that Dobby sees Harry in the same way.
"You're definitely Harry Potter!"
"Yes." Harry replied.
Twinkle lowered her hands with a look of awe.
They talk about Dobby, and Hermione and Ron get involved.
Twinkle says Dobby is an outlier because his act of asking for pay keeps him from getting a job.
House-elves can't live without work, just as the West can't live without Jerusalem.
He also felt that it was not a good thing for Harry to rescue Dobby, which made Hermione extremely angry, the wizard was a slave house-elf.
Twinkle also said that she was afraid of heights, but she had to be optimistic about the position for the owner.
Hermione was even angrier, she had been taught that house-elves had no human rights.
John just glanced at the situation over there and didn't pay attention.
Percy entertained the officials and also came to this box.
He was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, and it had nothing to do with him being relaxed.
Barty Crouch came over to inspect the work, his eyes looking at Twinkle's location, consciously or unconsciously.
After a while, he left.
The Bulgarian wizards arrived, and they spoke incomprehensible words, which made Percy very big.
Ludo Bagman is hosting this World Cup, and of course, you have to ignore the twins' voices scolding liars.
Pretending not to hear, Ludo used a loud spell to make his voice sound throughout the court.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome! Welcome to the 422nd Quidditch World Cup! โ
Before the start of the game, the mascot enters the show.
The first to enter was the Bulgarian team.
John saw the Bulgarian mascot, it was the Baby, and they all exuded charm and danced to obsessive some men.
Ron was so indecent that he almost jumped down to find the baby.
If he knows how angry these girls look, he probably won't be able to love them.
Next up is the mascot of the Irish team, which is the Irish leprechaun.
They have a very cool special effect, going around the entire stadium and dropping a large chunk of gold coins.
John took one and looked at it, seeing the essence of it at a glance.
"Interesting, this coin is similar to Transfiguration and can only exist for a few hours."
Playing with the gold coins in his hand, Ludo had already continued to introduce the players on both sides.
The first to play was the Bulgarian team, and their star player was undoubtedly the talented Seeker, Viktor Krum.
When John saw it, he just wanted to ask, is this fucking eighteen years old?
The overall strength of the Irish team is balanced, and the star players are chasers, but such a lineup also has advantages, compared to Bulgaria with Krum at the core, it can quickly open the score.
The game begins, and John watches with a panoramic telescope.
Noticing that Daphne was trying to crane her neck to see clearly, John realized that she didn't have a telescope.
Handing himself the binoculars, John smiled and said, "Here you go, I can see it." โ
Daphne blushed slightly, took the binoculars, and thought that this was a shared one.
Hagrid saw that John didn't have it and wanted to lend him his.
John shook his head in refusal, blinking his eyes, which turned into vertical pupils, allowing him to see everything clearly.
It's a top-notch event, and it's not as exciting as Hogwarts Quidditch.
Krum's feint to shake off the Irish seeker was very exciting.
As John guessed, the Irish Seeker was not as strong as Krum, but his teammates were excellent.
Keep scoring goals in the game.
With every goal scored, Ireland supporters cheered.
The race is getting more and more intense.
It seems to be anxious, but in fact, the Bulgarian team has no chance of winning.
Sure enough, the game came to 130:10 with Ireland in the lead.
The Bulgarian goalkeeper was in a hurry, and a foul gave Ireland a penalty.
The mascots of both sides taunted each other and almost got into a fight.
Ireland scored again, Krum also saw the situation clearly, and Bulgaria had no chance of winning.
Krum spotted the Golden Snitch and accelerated his sprint.
He wants to end the game, catch the Golden Snitch and restore the dignity of the Bulgarian team.
The Irish Seeker discovers his intentions and chases the past.
The two sides staged a broomstick skill competition, but unfortunately Krum was too strong, and the Irish Seeker fell again.
Krum had an extra golden snitch in his hand, and the game ended at 170:160, and Ireland won.
During the chase, Krum was also injured, but he did not let the doctor clean the wound, and the whole person was lost with his teammates.
Since the Minister of Magic has not yet been chosen, the matter of this award falls on Barty Crouch.
Barty Crouch tried to make himself look as kind as he could, and it was a good opportunity to canvass for votes.
John saw the twins pulling Ludo Bagman to prevent him from leaving, because they had just pressed it, and instead of betting on the silver hand, it could be multiplied more than ten times.
At the end of the game, John walked out of the court.
The people on the side of the road were still discussing loudly, and the Weasleys were even more fierce.
Because several of his family were Gryffindor Quidditch.
John's tent was next door, and it wasn't until near the wee hours of the morning that the sounds inside stopped.
"John, you're trying too hard." Hagrid was in the tent, with a somewhat stiff pillow, and muttered.
John wasn't sleepy yet.
He calculates how much money he has made at this Quidditch World Cup.
Heinrich asked Kim to keep three meters away from him, he had enough of the guy.
Kim shrugged his shoulders disapprerovingly, laughing and telling him that he was still going to live in a tent with him, which made him black-faced.
In the wee hours of the morning, John had calculated that his net income was more than six figures.
As he was about to fall asleep, he heard a commotion.
"Huh?"
Walking out of the tent to check, John saw a fire coming on.
The wizard fled as if toward the woods, and behind him, a group of masked wizards huddled together, each pointing their wands upwards.
John looked solemn when he saw the family of three floating in the air like marionettes.
"Troublemaker?"
The right hand stroked the face, covered by a silver mask.
With a snap of his fingers, the clothes on his body changed color, and the emerald green cloak covered his body.
The shoes grew wings, and John's whole body rose like a rocket.
When he reached 100 feet, he took out his purple wand and aimed it at the group of troublemakers.
