As we all know, gossip entertainment spreads the fastest in this world, even in the wizarding world.

In the afternoon, the news of Sirius of the Black family and Harley, the 1st class medalist of the Order of Merlin, placing a bet on the Transylvanian team on the Gringotts market, spread throughout the camp.

More insiders broke the news that the two had bet at least 50,000 gold gallons, and Gringotts boldly gave forty times the odds!

Many wizards first taunted wildly, thinking that Sirius was stupid in prison in Azkaban, and his brain was not good, and he couldn't tell the strength of the two sides of the game.

And Hallie, the winner of the First Class Order of the Merlin Order, is only good at magic, and when it comes to the Quidditch World Cup, he really doesn't understand anything at all.

Both of them are probably just Xiaobai, and they were bluffed by the high odds of the goblins, so they pressed it directly, and chose such a harsh condition.

After all, no matter who looks at it, how can England, a top team that has just won 17 consecutive games in a training match, lose to a team from a village league like Transylvania?

The first game of this group stage is purely pure points, why can't you understand it?

But everyone laughed and laughed, and suddenly they cried again.

50,000 gold Galleons...... How long will it take to earn it?

As a result, people took it out casually, so easily, as if the money was not money!

It really is, the gap between people is sometimes bigger than that between people and dogs!

…………

This afternoon, the game is about to begin, and the whole camp is getting more and more chaotic.

As the most troublesome wizard group, Da Mao and Er Mao suddenly became inexplicably involved after drinking dozens of boxes of vodka.

Da Mao pulled Sanmao, and Ermao also shouted a bunch of European fans, and the two sides were very happy.

However, everyone still managed to lose their senses a little, and did not use their wands, but just smashed their fists and wine bottles at each other.

There was also a group of fans of the big hairy team from the North Caucasus in the middle, and I don't know what nerve was wrong, or which tendon was misplaced.

As a result, they suddenly turned their heads and began to support Ermao, and sprinted towards the office of the Ministry of Magic of Da Mao to protest.

As a result, when they rushed to the front of the Ministry of Magic's station, they suddenly stopped, replaced the big hairy fans who were tired of making trouble with Ermao, and rejoined the battle.

This incident "scared" Da Mao's Ministry of Magic called the British Aurors over, but in the end, after investigation, it was found that there was a certain Ministry of Magic across the sea from Da Mao who was stirring up trouble.

And the group of big hairy fans who rebelled halfway took money to do things, scare the big hairy Ministry of Magic, and then ...... And then there was no then.

They are very moral and can do as much as they want.

I took a mere 62,000 gold pot (the currency of the American Ministry of Magic), which means that it is enough to intimidate Da Mao.

Fudge was also helpless when he got the news.

It is said that the sun never sets in England, but the sun has already set, and if it weren't for a Dumbledore now, Britain would rank fourth at most in the International Association of Wizards.

How could he take care of that troublesome Ministry of Magic? can only comfort himself, pretending not to see, just think that his son is making trouble for Lao Tzu.

The British wizards next to them didn't care about the troubles of their ministers, they were so happy to watch the play that they applauded, but they didn't dare to go on.

Just kidding, the 20 former Soviet National Quidditch fans beat up 200 fans of the English National Quidditch team, and everyone still remembers it!

It's enough to watch people get beaten, and no one likes to go up and get beaten themselves.

However, the England fans did not stay idle for long, and soon quarreled with the fans of the Scottish team.

You must know that Da Mao, Er Mao and Sanmao were born from the corpses of giants, and we are not a country, so there will be the same source but contradictory phenomena.

And Britain is still the United Kingdom, or a unified country, and the fans of England and Scotland are fighting.

The English mocked the Scots for not making it to the World Cup, while the Scots mocked the English for being beaten by Vietnam.

And fans of the two teams, Ireland and Wales...... They chose to clap their hands on the sidelines!

After all, the former is well grouped in the World Cup, while the latter, like Scotland, failed to stand out in qualifying.

So the two parties began to be friendly and had fun.

During this period, many England fans released cruel words!

"Wait, the failure of that training match was just an accident!"

A mocked England fan blushed and shouted,

"England are going to win big tonight!"

"And from this moment on, England will not lose once and win the championship!"

"How can the great England team be a village-level team like you that can point fingers!"

Fudge, who was patrolling the camp, watched the scene and secretly gave a thumbs up to the fan.

It doesn't matter if England can win or not, they can't lose in momentum anyway!

However, he still pretended to wave his hand: "Delix!" You go over there and take a look, what's going on? ”

"Yes, Minister!" A burly Auror rushed over, but was unable to return for a short time.

Just as Fudge was a little impatient, Dlux slipped back quietly.

He also looked around to see that there were no wizards from other countries around him, and then whispered to Fudge, "Minister, the situation is a bit complicated. ”

"Ostensibly the English and the Scots quarreled and were ready to fight with real guns."

"But it's actually the Irish fans who aren't happy with England taunting them, but they don't want to fight themselves, so they stir up the relationship between the Scots and the English."

Fudge's eyes widened instantly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

He knew that Britain was known as "Bulk Britain", and there were more or less contradictions between them, but he didn't expect the contradictions to be so big.

And this is the scene of the World Championship, and there are so many foreign wizards around to watch the excitement! Isn't that a shame on yourself?

Finally, Fudge waved his hand helplessly: "Go stop them, and by the way, tell all English wizards that civil war is forbidden during the World Cup!" ”

Seeing the Aurors coming, the fans all stopped tacitly.

But looking at the eyes they look at each other, the meaning is very obvious - green garlic after the game! Cruel green garlic!

In the midst of this chaos, the time finally came to six o'clock.

Hallie and Hermione followed Sirius and Professor McGonagall, who had just arrived, and walked down the crowd to the arena.

Professor McGonagall was still unaware of the fact that her former student was taking her current favorite student to gamble, and was talking and laughing with Sirius.

It is not known what strange interest Professor McGonagall suddenly awakened, and she began to suggest Sirius marrying in various ways.

This made Sirius very embarrassed, and kept talking about him.

As a result, Professor McGonagall accidentally slipped out of her mouth on a whim, revealing that it was the old Headmaster Phineas who asked her to be a lobbyist with Professor Dumbledore.

It was Sirius' turn to widen his eyes, and Professor McGonagall's attention quickly turned to Quidditch.

"I wish England wouldn't be so embarrassed," Professor McGonagall said bluntly, changing the subject.

"During the selection round, in order to boost morale, the England team made an appointment with the Vietnamese team for a training match across the season."

"I heard from a couple of students who worked in the Department of Magical Sports,"

She looked at Sirius, "They're probably four juniors after you. ”

"Anyway, they said that the Ministry of Magic took the lead in doing this, itself to help the morale of the England captain, and at the same time to promote it in advance."

"As a result, the England team was defeated, and if it wasn't for the luck in the end, the golden snitch flew to the face, and the England team would have been directly shaved head."

"What a shame!"

Several people quickly came to the entrance, and the witch of the Ministry of Magic, who was in charge of checking the tickets, looked at their tickets: "First class!" ”

"Penthouse box! Keep going upstairs, Sirius! Good evening, Professor McGonagall! ”

"Good evening, Pell." Professor McGonagall nodded at the witch and said half-jokingly,

"I didn't expect you to end up working at the Ministry of Magic. You told me at the time that you wanted to concentrate on Transfiguration. ”

Pell shrugged helplessly: "Professor McGonagall, you don't know that the Transfiguration of my final wizard exam almost hung up. ”

The four of them walked up the fuchsia-carpeted staircase toward the top of the stadium.

The flow of people slowly divided into ordinary stands, but the four of them did not stop and came to the top box.

Located at the highest point of the stadium, it houses more than thirty purple-gold and gold-plated seats.

There are six more such boxes on this floor, and the designer obviously made this design with "seven", the most magical number in the wizarding world, in mind.

The pitch below is so chaotic that you don't need to step out of the box to see the crowd below.

But the box is very comfortable, and if you don't open the window, there is no noise at all.

Many wizards have entered the area one after another, including one of the protagonists tonight, the Minister of Magic of Transylvania.

The minister looked good-looking, talking and laughing with Fudge, and was not worried about the rest of the game at all.

But think about it, just on paper...... The value of an English substitute is enough to buy the entire Transylvanian team!

The Minister of Magic of Transylvania was probably aware of this, so he didn't seem to care.

Hallie also saw the Malfoys from afar, though they seemed to have bought tickets for the other boxes.

This made Sirius deeply regretful, and he wanted to scold old Malfoy.

At seven o'clock in the evening, as night fell, countless lights rushed into the sky, illuminating the entire Quidditch World Cup stadium.

As the director of the Department of Magical Sports, Ludo will serve as a commentator throughout the group stage and knockout rounds.

At this moment, he held the microphone that applied the sound reinforcement magic, and the sound was clearly transmitted to every corner of the arena:

"Ladies and gentlemen, leaders and guests of various countries! Good evening, everyone! ”

"I'm the director of the British Department of Magical Physical Sports, Ludo Bagman."

"During this Quidditch World Cup in England, I will be a commentator and accompany everyone through every group stage and knockout game!"

"Welcome to England and watch the Quidditch World Cup!"

"Now, I announce the opening ceremony of the group stage of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup...... It's officially started! ”

The audience burst into applause and cheers, and many wizards drew their wands and sent out sparks into the sky.

The flags of various countries and the flags of the Quidditch teams appeared in the audience, and the singing and noise mingled.

On the edge of the arena, the Aurors did the same, and were more orderly, making the night sky colorful and beautiful.

Quidditch teams from sixteen countries rode broomsticks one after another, and below were their mascots-

The leprechauns of the Irish team, the moon beast of England, the Venetian lake monster of the Venice team, and the ...... of Bulgaria

Meiwa!

The moment Meiwa appeared on the field, the audience was boiling!

Many wizards stood up, waving their hands frantically, and the various symbols of their own teams were tossed aside.

Not to mention them, many players in the sky suddenly began to dive down, wanting to pay their respects to the girls.

"Draco!" Hallie could clearly hear Lucius's roar in the distance, and it was clear that Malfoy's classmates had made Comrade Malfoy Sr. lose a lot of face.

But Harley felt a little bored.

She leaned back in her chair, resting her chin in one hand and sipping pumpkin juice leisurely.

This kind of small scene...... Originally, there were many in the Witch Sect.

That group of witches is more open than this group of beautiful babies, and there are more tricks, and the charm is also stronger.

In Hallie's eyes, this group of beautiful babies is not even as good as Fleur!

At least they fully demonstrated the advantages of half-blood, and the unique charm of Meiwa and human beings was combined just right.

Speaking of Fleur, it suddenly occurred to Hallie that she seemed to be following Ms. Maxim to see the elimination round.

He was going to invite her to the top box at that time, but Sirius also said that he still had the ability to get tickets.

But Fleur refuses, saying that she wants to join Beauxbatons' large army.

For some reason, their school organized some of the outstanding 6th and 7th grade students to come to watch the game.

This and the cost of the trip were sponsored gratuitously by Beauxbatons' big benefactor, Mr. Nicol Lemay.

And Fleur also sold a pass, without revealing more information.

However, Hallie said that she didn't care about it, she had soaked in the hot springs, and she knew the weaknesses of Miss Fleur.

As long as Harley wanted to, she could easily ask everything from the mouth of a young lady who thought she was hard-mouthed.

The only thing that makes Harley feel a little regret is that she can't watch the game with Miss Meiwa.

But considering that Hermione was sitting next to her, Harley suddenly felt less sorry again.
