Chapter 320 Mascot

His voice echoed above the heads of the audience and carried loudly to every corner of the stands.

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

The audience burst into cheers and applause.

There were green waves in the stands, the crowds supporting the Irish team.

They wear hats made of green clover.

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

Even larger than the green waves is the sea of ​​red and white roses.

Many little witches join the team supporting England because they look more beautiful with a rose in their hair.

This day was a total carnival at Hogwarts.

The little wizards were all dressed up, and their mood was even hotter than the summer sunshine.

Penello was dressed extremely colorfully, wearing a purple tube top skirt, her long blond curly hair was tied up, and a red rose was inserted into the bun. Hermione wore a white hollow knee-length lady's skirt, with her original fluffy curly hair draped softly behind her back. Behind her ear, Hermione inserted a pink and white rose. Penello was leaning on the fence, looking at Hermione in the sun with an indifferent expression. Hermione seemed to feel her gaze and looked up, just in time to meet Penello's gaze before he could retract it. Penello showed a slightly sarcastic smile and raised his eyebrows lightly, "We all look good!" Hermione turned her head and looked into Penello's eyes, trying to understand the emotion in her words. She was very confused in her heart, why was Penelo so much more confident when facing her in the past two days than before?

At this moment, Luna walked elegantly from the side, causing laughter everywhere she passed.

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

Her clothes are different from those of the girls in the venue, full of rich sixteenth-century English royal style.

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

This kind of Luna is particularly unique among the little witches wearing cool summer skirts.

Luna herself didn't care at all about people's laughter and comments.

She took out a pair of colored anti-monster glasses and put them on her head. She slapped the air with both hands, as if to drive away large invisible 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 to Luna, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

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

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

"Big shining ball!"

"Spherical fireworks."

The crowd erupted in exclamations of "Ouch, ouch", wondering what kind of creature this was.

A huge, shiny clover rose high into the air and began to hover above the stands.

Something crackled down from above, like golden raindrops——

It’s actually a gold coin!

While people were cheering, they were still scrambling for it, or getting under the seats to pick up gold coins.

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

"It's an Irish leprechaun!" Hermione said to cheers.

The giant clover disappeared, and the little leprechauns slowly landed on the reserved seats on the field and sat down with their legs crossed.

"I don't know what could be more wonderful than gold coins!" Ron held a large handful of gold coins and smiled happily.

"Of course, nothing can be better than Ireland's mascot!" Seamus stuffed the gold coins into his pocket with satisfaction.

"Okay, without further ado, please allow me to introduce you, 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!" His eyes widened suddenly, "What is that?"

A swarm of creatures he had never seen before flew into the field, flapping their wings in unison.

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

Seamus stared unblinkingly at the field.

Ron nodded repeatedly in agreement.

At this moment, the creature in the field has the head of a woman and the body of a bird.

They spread their wings in the air and changed their formations.

"Are they making up words?" Seamus asked suspiciously.

"What's it about?" Ron stared at their performance unblinkingly, trying to make out the words they spelled out.

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

To be fair, they do perform well.

Sometimes it dives, sometimes it rises.

Or one is high and one is low, one is moving and one is still, one is left and one is right.

Or join hands, look at each other, or go around each other.

The broad and long ribbons on their wings suddenly look like rainbows, and then return to clouds, changing unpredictably, 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 stirred up the gold coins. Seamus nodded and had to admit that they were beautiful, and the combination of their facial features was more beautiful than most of the girls at Hogwarts. Just then, the music started playing, and Seamus no longer considered whether the girls at Hogwarts were prettier or the creatures—in fact, he couldn't think about anything else. There was only that ethereal and beautiful singing voice in his heart. The voice was extremely sweet. He just wanted to get closer to them, closer, closer... Ron beside him was even more unbearable. He tore off his shirt and did He got into a swimming position and swung his arms rapidly. Penello folded his arms and watched these people doing all kinds of strange actions, feeling that this was much more interesting than the performances of those creatures. Just then, the music started playing, and Seamus no longer considered whether the girls at Hogwarts were prettier or the creatures—in fact, he couldn't think about anything else. Hermione's eyes lit up when she heard the music, she clapped her hands and shouted, "It's the Siren."

Penello glanced at Hermione in confusion. After Luna, was she also crazy?

Hermione obviously saw Penello's doubts and explained: "Sirens are sirens with human faces and bird bodies. They fly on the sea and have heavenly singing voices. They often use their songs to seduce passing sailors. Listening absent-mindedly causes the ship to run aground and sink.”

"Not everyone will be confused." Penello looked around and sighed.

"I didn't expect that there are the most determined people in Hufflepuff... They really brought a lot of food..." Hermione sighed.
