Chapter 19: Human XP is Free...... But except for those who like lizards!

As time passed, other spectators also rushed to the game site one after another.

The Weasleys were the third to arrive in the box on the top floor.

Upon seeing Mr. Weasley, Sirius stood up and gave him a hug:

"Arthur, my dear old fellow, you're here at last!"

"Alas, there is no way, it is really stressful to bring seven children." Mr. Weasley sighed.

"Dear old Arthur, would you like to have a drink in the evening?"

After beckoning Mr. Weasley to sit down beside him, Sirius put his arm around him and said with a grin,

"The kids are older, so there's no problem staying in the tent by themselves."

"I know there are a couple of nice bars around here that are temporarily open, let's go and have a few whiskeys!"

Mr. Weasley hesitated for a moment, reached into his pocket, and finally nodded:

"Of course you can, after all, the World Cup final is only once in four years!"

The Weasleys all sat down in the box, filling half of the box in an instant.

George and Fred quickly chose the seat behind Hallie, and greeted each other through the seat:

"Harley, Hermione, good evening! You're so early! ”

"By the way, what about your friend from Beauxbatons, Fleur Delacour? Isn't she with you? ”

Fred asked, as if inadvertently.

"She came with some of the Beauxbatons students, so she was watching with them."

Harley replied softly, "What? Got interested? I remember you didn't like Angelina-senpai? ”

"Senior Sister should be in the audience below, do you need me to talk to Senior Sister about it?"

Without waiting for Fred to say anything, George preemptively stabbed his brother in the waist with his fist:

"Look, Fred, that's your fault. Don't you swear in the morning that you are single-minded towards Angelina? ”

Fred rolled his brother's eyes: "Don't think I don't know, you obviously want to ask!" ”

"And you said that you gave your heart to Arya."

The two living treasures frolicked and played for a while, and after calming down, they chatted with Harley seriously:

"Hallie, we listened to you and didn't look for that Ludo guy."

"We chose Gringotts and beat Ireland to win, but Bulgaria's Krum will catch the Golden Snitch."

"Gringotts is much more reliable than Ludo. Dad pressed a gold Galleon from Ludo, but Ludo just registered his father's name in his notebook. ”

"Gringotts, on the other hand, is much more formal, and has signed a magic contract, and today there is also the director of the Ministry of Magic's Goblin Liaison Office, Sbert Mokridge, who supervises the whole process."

"The only pity is that the odds given by those greedy goblins are really low!"

"That's because Gringotts has to pay taxes and negotiate with the Ministry of Magic." Hermione on the side turned her head and said in a low voice,

"And they can consider a lot more factors than those that don't necessarily pay back, so the odds are naturally not too high."

Fred was a little surprised and said, "It makes sense, we didn't expect this information!" ”

"And Hermione, how do you know so much?"

"Sirius and Harley also went to Gringotts to take a gamble,"

Hermione saw that Harley didn't stop herself, and couldn't help but say in a somewhat proud tone,

"The England team that gambled against the Transylvania team, the Transylvania team won, pressed 200,000 gold Galleons, and finally earned back 8 million!"

Harley nodded, the elves weren't obligated to keep information for themselves anyway, it was a semi-open secret in the camp.

"Eight million!" Before the Weasley twins could say anything, Ron, who was listening to the conversation between the four of them, couldn't sit still.

He let out an exclamation of surprise, causing the entire box to look back.

However, there are only the Weasleys and Sirius in the box now, plus the house-elves who have no sense of existence and the hidden Barty Krach.

So Mr. Weasley just glared at Ron:

"Ron! If you dare to make such a fuss during a match and disturb other people's spectators, then I will have to use magic to silence your voice temporarily! ”

Ron tried to defend something, but the others in the box arrived.

Mr. Weasley quietly warned the children to observe etiquette, and then stood up with Percy frequently to greet their colleagues.

Mr. Weasley's attitude towards these officials was rather easy-going, and he even punched two high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic who had a good relationship with him.

Percy was much less mature than his father. His expression was very excited, and he wanted to bow ninety degrees every time.

"You know, Harry." In between the sitting of an official, Fred muttered in a voice the size of a mosquito,

"Percy has high ambitions and wants to be Minister of Magic!"

George on the side also hid his head behind his chair and grimaced.

But then, Professor McGonagall walked in, causing George and Fred to bow their heads in fright, and their grimaces vanished.

However, Professor McGonagall didn't bother with the two mischievous mischievous peesters of her house, but only said hello to Mr. Weasley and Sirius, and then sat down in the empty seat next to Hermione.

This scared Fred and George even more...... The dean I am most afraid of is sitting in front of me, what should I do! Emergency! Online and more!

Until finally, the time came to seven o'clock.

Fudge walked in with a red-haired, white-bearded, ornate gold-trimmed black velvet robe.

Fudge was followed by Umbridge, while the other wizard was followed by a burly male wizard with the same color.

Fudge's eyes lit up when he saw Harley.

However, because there were guests next to him, he just shouted hello: "Hallie! Good evening, was this trip to the World Cup enjoyable? ”

"Come, let me introduce you, this is the Minister of the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic...... Well...... Mr. Oberansk...... No, maybe it's Mr. Obaronsk......"

Fudge muttered something, glancing at the Bulgarian Minister of Magic, and muttered quietly:

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, he can't understand English anyway."

Then, Fudge pointed at Harley with a solemn face and introduced to the Minister of Magic:

"Harry Potter! You know! The child who survived from the mysterious man also received the Order of the First Class of the British Sir Merlin! ”

"And she broke the record by being the youngest ever Sir Merlin Order of Merlin to be awarded the Order of Merlin First Class!"

The burly wizard whose muscles tightened his robes first frowned, looking confused.

After looking Harley up and down, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly his hands danced excitedly, and the gold chain on his body kept dangling.

Harley frowned, feeling that the pronunciation that came out of the mouth of the Minister of Magic, who seemed to be a big man, was very similar:

"Lapun~Lapun~Fak~Lapun~"

Fudge spread his hands helplessly, with a loveless expression: "Alas, I don't know where Barty Crouch has gone." ”

"I don't understand Bulgarian, or Crouch is better at it."

"Minister, I'll send someone to find him right away." Umbridge behind Fudge immediately came up,

"I will send someone to interrogate him, at this important moment of meeting foreign distinguished guests, he actually runs around as the deputy director, instead of completing the most important work!"

"Alas, Umbridge, you're still so dedicated!" Fudge nodded with admiration in his eyes, but nodded with a heavy face,

"But there's no need to be so harsh on Crouch, after all, he's old, he's about to retire, and he doesn't have an heir yet......"

Harley glanced at his position in the corner without a trace, and the young man didn't react at all, as if the Imperius Curse had completely stripped him of consciousness.

I really don't know how Fudge would react if he suddenly ripped off his cloak of invisibility.

Not...... I guess I was frightened first, and then I fainted in surprise because of this sudden political achievement.

Finally, there was silence in the box.

Ludo trotted all the way to the box, and after asking Fudge, he stood at the window of the box and cast a spell on his voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, and distinguished guests!"

"Everyone is welcome! Everyone is welcome to watch the 422nd Quidditch World Cup Final in Great Britain! ”

"I'm your old friend and the commentator for this tournament, Ludo Bagman!"

"Without further ado, let's enjoy this Quidditch feast together!"

"First of all, let's have ...... The mascot of the Bulgarian national team! ”

On the right side of the stands, a sea of bright red with the same color as the head of the Bulgarian Minister of Magic let out loud cheers.

In the midst of all the attention, Miss Meiwa made her debut!

A hundred beautiful girls in long skirts seemed to be riding the wind and slid towards the arena.

Their long, bright silver hair fluttered at the back of their heads, exuding infinite charm.

But Harley was a little sleepy when she looked at it, after all, she had seen this scene too many times.

And seriously, they really can't compare to Fleur

The rest of the people in the most important box where Harley was were didn't move.

From the very beginning, these face-conscious dignitaries had taken potions that kept wizards calm, or used magic that could protect their brains and consciousness.

However, several of the Weasleys' children suffered.

Bill, Charlie, and Patcy are doing fairly well, and as wizards who are not weak, they basically control their thoughts.

Fred and George were much worse, and the two of them almost got to their feet, but fortunately they managed to restrain themselves in the end.

As for Ron, the worst kid, if Mr. Weasley hadn't pulled him back, he would probably have been diving live in the window of the box.

Harley also keenly noticed that in the corner, the young man under the invisibility cloak suddenly trembled, and the magic on his body began to change.

"Controlled by the Imperius Curse, so I can't use Occlumency or other magic to protect myself."

The contents of several ancient magic books obtained from Sirius's house suddenly came to mind, and an idea flashed through Harry's mind,

"So his spirit was stimulated and he began to resist the Imperius Curse on his own."

"Interesting, really interesting. This young man named Barty Crouch Jr. seems to be quite skilled in magic. ”

When the girls finished dancing and were about to leave, the audience roared angrily.

Obviously, everyone didn't want the Bulgarian mascot to leave so much.

But the girls are still very experienced in dealing with this situation.

They stood there and spun slightly, their faces suddenly elongated out of thin air, turning into bird heads with long sharp beaks, and their moonlit skin was covered with scales.

The wizards, who had no experience and had seen the Bulgarian mascot for the first time, immediately collapsed back in their seats in fright.

But there are some wizards, especially those who are dressed very much like Ah San, and they actually ...... More excited!

Among them, a middle-aged wizard with a turban on his head and a cloth on his upper body jumped up directly, threw away the pet lizard lying on his shoulder, and rushed towards the playing field.

Soon, however, the two Aurors flew up on their broomsticks and held them down.

When many wizards saw this, the corners of their mouths twitched.

Although human XP is free...... But...... Forget it, I can't make up excuses, let's destroy it!

After the young ladies left the field, the mascot of the Irish team also made a shining appearance.

Only a "whoosh" was heard, and what looked like a large comet flew into the stadium and hovered in the sky.

The two colors then suddenly split apart into two smaller comets, each rushing towards the goalposts of a set of goals.

Outside the field, several wizards in overalls waved their wands lightly, and an arched rainbow appeared out of thin air on the field, connecting the two small comets.

As the rainbow fades away, the two small comets connect and merge again, and finally, a huge, shiny clover forms in mid-air.

Shamrock rose higher into the sky, hovering above the stands.

This clover is actually made up of countless small people wearing red vests, black mustaches, and small gold or green lights in their hands!

"It's an Irish leprechaun." Sirius muttered in disappointment, "It really doesn't feel as good as Meiwa." ”

The leprechauns waved their hands, and a "crackling" sound sounded, and a large number of golden golden gallons fell from the sky!

It's a gold coin made by a leprechaun!

(Thanks to the two bigwigs of "Nine-Tailed Yan Fox" and "Floating Annihilation" for their rewards!) )

(ps. As one of the Unforgivable Spells, the Imperius Curse cannot be lifted by other spells, and the person who is under the spell will not have any special manifestations.) )

(However, judging from the information in the original book, people with strong willpower, or people who are proficient enough in Occlumency, can completely escape the control of the Imperius Curse on their own.) )
