Chapter 319 Ludo Bagman
No matter how uproarious the castle was, the time soon came to Sunday.
When the little wizards came to the Quidditch field, they could hardly believe their eyes.
The stands that could only supply the students of the four colleges seemed to be expanded overnight into auditoriums that could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.
Rows of seats stretched high into the sky.
The little wizards were arranged in the original positions of the colleges, and the newly expanded positions were reserved for Quidditch fans who bought tickets, relatives and friends of the players, and officials of the Ministry of Magic.
At the entrance of the specially set audience passageway, many wizards were surrounded by loud and loud voices.
With a gloomy face, Filch stood with a female wizard from the Ministry of Magic, checking the wizards' tickets meticulously.
"First class ticket!" The witch's voice suddenly became respectful and reserved.
"Top box! Go straight up from the right side to the top floor." She enthusiastically guided.
"Thank you, Claire." Owen Harris thanked her gently.
Behind him, Morgan Le Fay followed behind with her youngest daughter, Emily.
Albert, Daisy, and Lun greeted Claire very politely.
"In the ministry, I like this family the most. They are always so gentle and polite." Watching the Harris family and the others go away, Claire said excitedly to Filch.
"It's really not annoying." Filch thought of the student who was destined to be the protagonist today and his usual attitude towards his cat, Mrs. Norris, and he rarely agreed.
The stairs leading to the penthouse were covered with a fuchsia carpet.
Mr. Harris and his party went up the stairs together with the crowd, and slowly those people flowed into the stands on the left and right sides respectively.
The party led by Mr. Harris went up until they reached the top of the stairs.
In the box, an unexpected person appeared there.
"Alan!" Emily ran over happily, hugged Alan's waist, and was lifted up by her brother and turned around a few times.
"Why are you here? The coach is willing to let you out, wouldn't you sneak out?" Morgan Le Fay asked his youngest son worriedly.
Allen scratched his head in embarrassment. Mrs. Harris was right.
After he learned of his family's box number last night, he had this idea.
Let the house elf Maggie apparate immediately after seeing her family entering the field, and find Allen.
Allen immediately turned into a phoenix and moved to the first compartment in an instant, exactly one minute earlier than them.
And because of the short-term company of his family, Allen's tension before the game was greatly reduced.
Shortly after their arrival, the arrival of a person made the Harris family's box even more lively.
"Hi, Director Harris!" A wizard with a big belly came up and waved enthusiastically to Mr. Harris.
"Deputy Director." Lun corrected in a low voice.
Allen looked at the man in front of him curiously, and had a guess about the identity of the visitor.
The man was wearing a long Quidditch robe with wide yellow and black stripes, and a huge wasp was splashed on his chest.
Apparently, he was originally a strong physique, but now he is starting to decline.
His robes stretched tightly over his belly, and his short blond hair made him look like a hornet with a distended belly, which was comical.
But it seemed that he didn't mind. Instead, he pouted his stomach and greeted Mr. Harris enthusiastically.
"Ludo, Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, the most important person at the moment." Owen introduced to his son Alan.
Hearing what Mr. Harris said, Ludo looked extremely excited.
Allen feels that his father has a special charm now, that is, he can always point to people's hearts and speak to others' hearts.
"This is my youngest son, Alan Harris." Owen directly introduced Alan, who was smiling aside, to Ludo.
Hearing Alan's name, Ludo's eyes rolled a few times, and then a slightly surprised look appeared on his face.
He looked at Allen carefully, and suddenly clapped his hands.
"Aha, you are very famous! A while ago, the newspapers were all about you!"
"Interestingly, today's England team's Seeker has the same name and surname as you!"
He paused again, looking suspiciously at Allen's blue jersey.
Seeing this, Owen realized that Ludo was deliberately complimenting him, but he still couldn't help laughing: "It's just what you think, Allen is the England team's seeker."
Ludo sighed in surprise: "What a young talent! However, Geraldine actually let you go around at this juncture."
Suddenly his eyes widened, and he asked Alan with a naive look: "Geraldine didn't know you were coming out, did you? Did you teleport here as a phoenix?"
Allen's face was a little hot, and he nodded in response.
"Ludo, are you the commentator today?" Owen saw the embarrassment of his younger son, and diverted Ludo's attention by saying something.
"Of course. This is the first match of the World Cup, and it is held at Hogwarts, so it has a special meaning." Ludo lazily sat down on the chair, "But the minister obviously doesn't think so, he rejected my offer invite!"
"That's his pity. The games with your commentary are very exciting." Mr. Harris laughed.
Allen felt that Mr. Harris' answer was wonderful. Although he didn't follow Ludo's words to discredit Fudge, he also praised Ludo, which made him laugh very happily.
Next, more and more people came up, Allen looked at the time and began to say goodbye to his family.
Before leaving, he caught a glimpse of his father shaking hands with Lucius Malfoy and talking cordially.
In the next half hour, the box they were in gradually filled with people.
People kept coming up to shake hands with Mr. Harris, and Lun accompanied him with a smile, without any impatience.
"I heard that there will be a performance by the team mascot before the game, right?" Emily looked at Ludo and asked loudly.
"Of course, you will like it. The national teams bring some exotic animals from their own countries, and they will perform before the game."
Ludo looked at the cards in his hand, his eyes were a little erratic, "You will definitely like them, and I like them very much."
Emily still wanted to ask, but Ludo suddenly stood up and looked around.
Emily closed her mouth obediently and looked at Ludo curiously.
Emily thinks he's cute, though he's dressed strangely.
"Is everyone ready?"
Ludo said the round face shone like a giant ball of cheese.
Hearing his words, everyone who had been chatting in the private room took their seats one after another, and the private room fell silent.
He turned his gaze to Mr. Harris, who was the highest in the box at the moment.
Mr. Harris nodded kindly and smiled encouragingly.
Ludo drew his wand, pointed to his throat and said, "Loud!"
Then his words echoed through the packed stadium like thunder.
