Chapter 320 Mascot

His voice echoed above the audience's heads, loudly spreading to every corner of the stands.

"Ladies and gentlemen... welcome! Welcome to the 422nd Quidditch World Cup!"

The audience burst into cheers and applause.

There was a green wave in the stands, which was the audience supporting the Irish team.

They wear green clover hats.

The young wizards who supported Ireland, such as Ron and Seamus, also traded these straw hats from some wizards, and happily wore them on their heads.

Larger than this green wave is the sea of ​​red and white rose flowers.

Many little witches joined the team to support England because they looked more beautiful with a rose in their hair.

This day is simply a carnival at Hogwarts.

The little wizards dressed up to attend, and their emotions were hotter than the summer sun.

Penello was dressed extremely gorgeously, wearing a purple tube top skirt, her long golden curly hair was coiled up, and a red rose was inserted in the bun. Hermione wore a white hollow knee-length lady dress, and her original fluffy curly hair was draped softly behind her. Behind the ear, Hermione inserted a pink and white rose. Penello leaned on the fence, looking indifferently at Hermione in the sun. Hermione seemed to feel her gaze, and looked up, just in time to meet Penello's gaze that she hadn't had time to look back. Penello showed a slightly sarcastic smile and raised her eyebrows lightly, "We all look good!" Hermione looked sideways into Penello's eyes, trying to understand the emotion in her words. She was very puzzled in her heart, why was Penello more confident than before when facing her these two days?

At this moment, Luna passed by gracefully, and everywhere she passed, everyone laughed.

Without him, the other little witches only had one rose, but Luna's head was covered with roses of all sizes, like a wave of roses.

Her costumes are different from those of the girls in the arena, full of rich sixteenth-century England royal style.

The wide skirt completely covered her, and the large swathes of lace on the collar echoed the roses on her head.

This kind of Luna is very different among the little witches in cool summer skirts.

Luna herself doesn't care about people's laughter and comments.

She took out a pair of colored anti-demon glasses, put them on her head, and patted the air with both hands, as if chasing away invisible big moths.

Looking at Luna like this, Hermione was so surprised that she forgot to fight back against Penello, and Penello's eyes were also attracted by Luna, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

"Now," Ludo Bagman's voice rang like a bell, "raise your wand in the air...welcome the Mascot of the Irish national team!"

"That's it?" Penello looked into the field in surprise.

"Big shiny ball!"

"Spherical fireworks."

The crowd erupted in exclamation of "Ah, ah, ah!", guessing what kind of creature it was.

A huge, shiny shamrock rose high into the air and began to hover over the stands.

Something crackled and fell from above like golden raindrops—

It turned out to be a gold coin!

While people cheered, they were still scrambling for gold coins, or ducking under the seats.

Hermione narrowed her eyes and observed the clover carefully, and found that it was actually composed of countless little people in red vests and mustaches.

"Irish leprechauns!" said Hermione to the cheers.

The giant clover disappeared, and the leprechauns slowly fell to the reserved seats on the field and sat cross-legged.

"I don't know anything more wonderful than gold coins!" Ron smiled broadly while holding a handful of gold coins.

"Of course, there is nothing better than Ireland's mascot!" Seamus stuffed the gold coins into his pocket contentedly.

"Okay, without further ado, please allow me to introduce, the mascot of the England national team!"

The sea of ​​roses immediately erupted into loud cheers.

"Wonder what they brought," Seamus said, leaning out of his seat.

"Ah!" He suddenly widened his eyes, "What is that?"

A group of creatures he had never seen before flapped their wings neatly and flew into the field.

"If Hagrid can get them, Care of Magical Creatures will be the most popular class in the school."

Seamus stared at the field without blinking.

Ron nodded repeatedly, agreeing.

At this moment, the creatures in the field have the head of a woman and the body of a bird.

They spread their wings in the air and change their formation.

"Are they forming characters?" Seamus asked suspiciously.

"Writing what?" Ron stared unblinking at their performance, trying to make out the words they spelled out.

"England must win!" Seamus laughed and touched the four-leaf clover on his head.

In all fairness, they did perform well.

Sometimes it dives, sometimes it rises.

Or one high and one low, one movement and one stillness, one left and one right.

Or join hands, look at each other, and intertwine.

The wide and long ribbons on the wings suddenly look like a rainbow, and then return to the clouds, unpredictable, fully demonstrating their superb flying and dancing skills.

"Is that all?" Seamus shrugged disdainfully.

"Just looking at their faces and upper bodies is enough, isn't it?" Ron reached into his pocket and rattled the gold coins. Seamus nodded, and had to admit that they were beautiful, and the combination of facial features was better than most of the Hogwarts girls. Just then, the music started, and Seamus could no longer think about whether the Hogwarts girls were pretty or the creatures were better—in fact, he couldn't think about anything. All he could think about was the ethereal and melodious singing voice, that voice was extremely sweet, and he just wanted to get closer to them, a little closer, a little closer... Ron beside him was even more unbearable, he tore off his shirt, Out of the swimming posture, the arms are swinging quickly. Penello folded his arms and watched these people doing all kinds of strange movements, thinking that this was much more interesting than the performances of those creatures. Just then, the music started, and Seamus could no longer think about whether the Hogwarts girls were pretty or the creatures were better—in fact, he couldn't think about anything. Hermione's eyes lit up when she heard the music, and she clapped her hands and called, "It's a siren."

Penello looked at Hermione suspiciously. After Luna, did she also go crazy?

Hermione obviously saw Penello's doubts, and explained: "The siren is a sea monster with a human face and a bird body. Lose your mind while listening, and sink your ship on the rocks."

"Not everyone will be confused." Penello looked around and said with emotion.

"I didn't expect Hufflepuffs to have the most determined people... They really brought a lot of food..." Hermione sighed.
