Chapter 42: Let There Be Light!

When Meiwa's dance ended, the gymnasium was filled with screams of anger and disappointment.

The wizards didn't want Mei Wa to leave, and the atmosphere in the box on the top floor was extremely awkward at the moment, with the girls holding their arms and squinting at the red-faced boys.

Ron lowered his head and put back the Irish badge that had just been torn off, and Harry pretended he was just trying to stand by the railing and blow the wind.

Malfoy stared intently at the flag in his hand, as if he had taken great interest in it.

The adults looked at the little wizards with a smile and interest, and thought it was very interesting.

Slowly, little by little, the three of them moved back to their seats, and Hermione let out a loud smack.

So their faces turned even redder, and even so, the little eyes that flew around kept drifting towards the Meiwa who was already lined up.

Tskβ€”β€”!

"Thank you to the Bulgarian team mascot for a great performance!

Nowβ€”" Ludo Bagman's voice rang like a bell, "Raise your wand into the air...... Welcome to the mascot of the Irish national team! ”

Then, with a whoosh, a huge, green and gold object flew into the gymnasium, like a large comet.

It flew around the pavilion and then split into two smaller comets and slammed into a set of goal posts.

Suddenly, an arched rainbow appeared in the entire arena, connecting the two large glittering balls.

The crowd erupted in exclamations of "oops, oops", as if watching a fireworks display.

At this moment, the rainbow disappeared, and the glittering balls connected and blended with each other to form a huge, shiny clover, which rose high into the air and began to hover above the stands. Something crackled and fell from above, like golden raindrops - it was gold coins!

Huge gold coins were raining down, and the coins shimmered blindly in the light, and people cheered happily while still scrambling for them.

This is the Irish leprechaun, Zhang Xiao remembers that the leprechaun's gold coins will disappear after a while, many people know about it, but they are still picking it up, just for fun.

He stared at the clover for a moment, and realized that the huge clover was actually made up of countless small people wearing red vests and mustaches, each carrying a small golden or green lamp.

If you put China into China, it may be a mountain spirit or something, and if you do two good things, you will probably be treated as a land lord.

Let Harry Ron scream loudly and the blood boiled over the game process, in Zhang Xiao's opinion, it is completely incomprehensible.

It's similar to when a friend who loves baseball in his previous life explained baseball to him, didn't he just throw the ball and didn't hit it? Isn't it just a stick that knocks the ball away?

On the contrary, during the game, Krum deceived Ireland's Seeker Linzi with a 'Langsky feint', and caused a clash between the two teams.

Especially after Ireland continued to lead, the Bulgarian team's movements became bigger and bigger, and Zhang Xiao felt that it was getting better and better.

When the Irish leprechauns and the babes get into a fightβ€”wow! Wonderful!

Zhang Xiao took the brass glasses sold at the stall and recorded this wonderful scene and saved it for later viewing.

It's definitely not because Meiwa dances when she's angry.

The voices on the field were so noisy that even the loud Ludo could not completely cover the shouts of the 100,000 spectators.

At a certain moment, this sound came to a climax.

Did I see Ireland's Seeker suddenly dive downward, or was it that what Langsky faked?

"That's not right! This time it's true, Golden Snitch! I saw it too! ”

Harry pressed the brass telescope against his eye socket and twisted the knob to make up his mind with the qualities of a good Quidditch Seeker.

The others immediately followed suit and stared at the Irish Seeker.

At this point, half of the audience realized what was going on.

Ireland's supporters stood up again, setting off another wave of green, screaming to cheer on their Seekers......

But Krum had already caught up with Lin Qi on his heels, and the two of them swooped down to the ground againβ€”

"They're going to fall to the ground!" Hermione screamed.

"No, it won't!" Ron shouted.

"Lin Qi will!" Harry yelled.

He was right - Lin Qi fell heavily to the ground for the second time, and a group of angry girls immediately swarmed around him.

"Where's the Golden Snitch, where is the Golden Snitch?" Charlie, who was sitting there, shouted.

"He caught it - Krum caught it - the game is over!" Harry shouted.

Krum's bright red robe glistened with speckled nosebleeds. He rose lightly into the air, fist raised high, and a golden light appeared between his fingers.

The scoreboard flashed with the scoreline, Bulgaria: 160, Ireland: 170, and the audience didn't seem to realize what was going on. Then, slowly, like a giant jet speeding up, the Irish supporters grew louder and louder, and finally erupted into a myriad of shouts of joy.

The match was over, and while the Bulgarian team caught the Golden Snitch, Ireland won the match.

As they walked back along the lantern-lit passageway, there was a rough singing in the night sky, and the leprechauns kept speeding over their heads, waving their lanterns and laughing. Finally, they reached the tent, but no one wanted to sleep.

They discuss every moment that happened in the game and whether Krum could become the best Seeker in history in the future.

Zhang Xiao shook the thin black robe and draped it over her body, and came to the outside of the tent.

At this moment, the whole camp has become a sea of joy, and the supporters of the Irish team are feverishly celebrating the victory.

The passport unfolded by the Ministry of Magic had completely unrestrained them, and their wands were pointed at the sky, and all kinds of fireworks that Muggles would never have been able to do were blooming in the air.

I formed a clover and a trophy that danced in the air vividly.

Zhang Xiao looked up for a while, if according to the original book, the Death Eaters would have done something in the second half of the night, and Harry's wand was accidentally lost during the riot.

Captured by Barty Crouch Jr., who broke free from the Imperius curse, he then easily mutined and released the Dark Mark.

This is also the starting point of the whole series from the light-hearted and bright in the early stage to the darkness.

But now

Zhang Xiao stepped on the branches and walked into the woods, it was too noisy outside, he himself was a quiet character, but the woods were quieter.

There was no Barty Crouch Jr. in the box, nor did the elf Twinkle.

That's where it gets interesting

Raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Rain!"

With a slight popping sound, Yushui held a plate and appeared in front of Zhang Xiao with surprise on his face.

"The most honorable and merciful young master, are you summoning the rain?"

Zhang Xiao looked at the super small tuxedo on Yushui's body, the small bow tie around his neck, and the small leather shoes on his feet, and the small hands with white gloves still holding plates.

"Uh, you're still training?"

Glancing at the watch that is much more expensive than the Ferrari, it will be early in the morning, although it is said that the habits of the elf are similar to those of cats, and they can rest in fragments, but this point is still training

"It's us who are practicing!" Rain explained softly, "Everyone is happy and wants to work immediately, so we practice a lot. ”

Wellβ€”this long-trained racial culture is truly terrifying, and it's scary to roll up.

"Ahem, that rain, there's a little elf named Twinkle, you know?"

Zhang Xiao tried to ask, elves are usually too easy for people to ignore, which is what Dumbledore once said, these weak friends sometimes have a very low sense of existence, but they are very useful.

It was only when I was chatting with Mrs. Weasley that I remembered the elves, and I also remembered that Yunbo once said that the circle of house-elves is very small, and maybe everyone knows each other.

"Twinkle? Is it the sparkle of the Crouch family? ”

Yushui asked curiously, blinking his big eyes.

"Yes, you know?" Zhang Xiao was overjoyed, these cute children would give him extra surprises every time.

"Yes, the rain knows Crouch, Brook's mom's mom is at Crouch's house, and Twinkle often says that Crouch is a good host."

Zhang Xiao nodded thoughtfully, according to the original book, Crouch is indeed a good host.

Twinkle's status in the Crouch family is completely incomparable to Dobby's, and Twinkle actually has a certain right to suggest.

For example, it was because of Shining's suggestion that Crouch Sr. agreed to Sparkle taking Barty Jr. to watch the Quidditch World Cup.

From this point of view, old Crouch is indeed a good person, but it's a pity.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiao quickly made a decision:

"Rain, can you contact Twinkle? Let's see if she's still there. ”

Yushui happily agreed:

"Yes! The most honorable young master! ”

There was another crisp crackling sound, the rain disappeared, Zhang Xiao put her hands behind her back, felt the brightness of the summer night, and slowly walked out.

The places that I care about and my doubts are here with Barty Crouch Jr., and if you can find Shiny, then everything will be solved.

The evening breeze carried moist water vapor through the treetops, mixed with the fire and cheers of the camp, and the insects chirped one after another, but there was a hint of noise in the silence.

Zhang Xiao stepped on the soft grass and walked slowly towards the camp with his hands behind his back.

What the Death Eaters did in the original book shouldn't be there this timeβ€”β€”β€”β€”

"Boom!"

A loud bang came from the other side of the camp, and a huge fire suddenly erupted in the center of the camp, and the cheers suddenly became messy.

The shouting of unknown meaning replaced the previous noise, and the sound spread like a wave, so fast that by the time we arrived, the frightened shouting and cries of the people could be clearly heard.

Zhang Xiao suddenly raised his head, and his body rushed towards the front like a sharp arrow off the string.

Just kicked the ground hard, stepped on the trunk of the tree a few steps, and came to the high trunk, and his eyes suddenly brightened a little.

The dim night sky suddenly became clearer.

In the distance, people ran towards the woods, as if to escape something that was moving towards them on the camp.

The thing was weirdly shining, with a crisp 'bang, bang, bang' sound.

Loud laughter, wild laughter, drunken shouts also moved towards them.

The dazzling wand glow shone in the air, and screams and cries of terror followed.

There was already a wizard staggering over to the edge of the woods, shouting loudly:

"Run! Hurry - the Death Eaters - they're crazy! ”

More of a senseless cry, the night gave them cover and amplified people's horrors.

Zhang Xiao's body suddenly bloomed with a strong golden light, and even his pupils seemed to have a little bit of gold.

He held it up with one hand, and his voice seemed to penetrate the entire camp in an instant, ringing in everyone's ears:

"Light!!"

An illusory ball of light condensed in the palm of his illusory hand and soared into the sky.

The soft, pure light of the morning light dispelled the darkness in an instant, and the shadows disappeared in this moment.

The ugliness that was hidden by the darkness was revealed to everyone at this moment.

The hooded wizards huddled together, each pointing their wands upwards, and now the light was shining, and they raised their heads in surprise and looked above them in panic.

Zhang Xiao's eyes narrowed, and the faces of these wizards were covered with masks

Above them, four struggling figures floated in the air, twisted into various eerie 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 were very small.

Although the distance was a little far, Zhang Xiao still recognized who they were, it was the Muggle caretaker's family in the venue here, and the two little figures were their children.

And the spell that keeps flickering is the Drill Heart Spell.

As if they had spotted a ball of light floating above the woods, the Death Eaters were pointing their wands at it and yelling.

They began to turn towards it, and more and more people joined in, lighting the tents, laughing maniacally, and whipping the Muggles overhead with their wands.

Very good, I was worried about how to kill you, Zhang Xiao felt more and more that phantom transformation was really a convenient magic, and the desire to learn it became more and more urgent.

He stood tall on top of the tall trunk, with the bright moon behind him, the golden light of his body swaying more and more, and the lightning wood magic burst into his open hand with an excited buzz.

As if longing for a fight, then. Come on!

It's just that in the next moment, I saw dozens of figures illusory appear around the group of people, and the crackling sound of the phantom transformation was as loud as thunder.

Ministry of Magic! Percussion! Aurors!

The red light of the Unconscious Spell shot out from their wands, and in just a few moments, the hooded men in the middle were stunned without any resistance.

A riot ended so suddenly, Zhang Xiao's eyebrows raised, and the golden light on the surface of her body gradually went out.

A loud voice sounded in the camp, and the running people instinctively stopped, and listened:

"I'm Barty Crouch, the British Minister for Magic, the riots have subsided, the troublemakers have been arrested, no need to panic!"

His voice echoed over the camp, repeating the phrase.

Gradually, the people regained their composure, clapping their hands and cheering enthusiastically, loudly praising how swift and decisive the Ministry of Magic had responded.

Admiring Minister Crouch's wisdom and ability, the surging crowd slowly retreated.

Zhang Xiao was still standing silently on the trunk of the tree, and the ball of light hanging above his head slowly extinguished, like this anticlimactic riot.

"Crackle"

A slight phantom distortion sounded around him, followed by the small sound of rain:

"The most honorable young master, Shining is missing."
