Chapter 158
"Get started, Ludo," said Fudge kindly.
Ludo drew his wand and pointed it at his throat.
"Sounds loud!"
Then his words resounded like thunder, resounding through the packed stadium. His voice echoed over their heads, loudly to every corner of the stand.
"Ladies and gentlemen... Welcome! Welcome to the 422nd Quidditch World Cup Final!"
The audience burst into cheers and applause. Thousands of flags were waved at the same time, accompanied by the chaotic national anthem, the scene was really lively.
On the blackboard across from them, the last line of the ad (Bibido Flavor Beans - every bite is an adventure!) has been erased, and it now reads: Bulgaria: 0, Ireland: 0.
"Okay, without further ado, allow me to introduce... the mascot of the Bulgarian national team!"
On the right side of the stand was a neat bright red square, and loud cheers erupted at this moment.
Many people leaned out of their seats, only to see a hundred veelas already slid into the arena, these beautiful women whose skin was as soft as the moon, and their hair fluttered behind their heads without the wind.
The music started, Veela began to dance, Ye Ting felt a tempting consciousness invaded his spirit, but the next moment he woke up.
He looked around, and everyone was fascinated by the Veela, the women were fine, but the men's postures were unsightly.
Ye Ting looked to the side, among the people he knew, Harry Potter stood there with one leg on the wall of the box; Ron made a pose as if he was going to dive from the diving board, and stayed there motionless; George Fred and Fred were already hugging passionately and looked like they were about to kiss; Percy, in a comical gesture, did a strange dance with the Veela.
Mr. Weasley, Black, and Lupin didn't respond, as if they had cast some sort of magic on themselves in advance.
"They... what happened to them?" Penello clenched Ye Ting's hand and asked nervously. He thought these people were crazy.
"It's a veela, a kind of transfiguration," said Miss Know-it-all, still omniscient. "When they became human, they were beautiful young women who danced under the moon on a midsummer night in tulle. Their men will forget everything about the world, and will not eat, drink, or sleep. If any unfortunate person joins them when the veela dances, they will have to keep dancing until they finally die of exhaustion."
For some reason, Ye Ting remembered the half-blood veela whom he met at the wizard chess game, Fleur Delacour, and her consummate charm and magic. He remembered that the Delacour sisters also came to watch in the original book. After this final, I just don't know if I can meet them.
Chapter 0220 dwarf gold coins and fierce competition
Penello looked at the ugliness of the men with interest, and even wanted to record it all, and then she suddenly asked curiously.
"Why don't some people respond at all?"
She saw several Ministry officials in the box next door, including Ludo Bagman, who didn't do anything exaggerated because of the Veela's presence.
"In fact, as long as you prepare well in advance, you can avoid most of the Veela's influence." Ye Ting explained, "This is not the first time the Bulgarian team has participated in the World Cup. They have experience in dealing with this."
"how about you?"
"Of course I'm strong-willed."
Finally, the music and dancing stopped, and all the odd movements immediately froze.
The gym was filled with angry roars and people were reluctant to leave the Veela.
"Now," Ludo? Bagman's voice sounded like a bell, "Please hold your wand in the air...Welcome to the mascot of the Irish national team!"
Then, with just a swish, a huge, green and gold thing flew into the gym, like a big comet. It flew around the pavilion before splitting into two smaller comets, each heading towards a set of goalposts.
An arched rainbow suddenly appeared across the arena, connecting the two gleaming balls. Exclamations of "Oops Oops" erupted from the crowd, as if watching a fireworks show. At this point, the rainbow disappeared, and the large gleaming balls connected and merged to form a huge, gleaming clover that rose high into the air and began to hover over the stands. Something crackled down from above, like golden raindrops—
Shamrocks circled over people's heads, dropping huge gold coins that landed on their heads and seats. Ye Ting narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the clover, and found that it was actually composed of countless little people wearing red vests and mustaches, each little people carrying a small golden or green lamp, It's an Irish leprechaun.
People cheered and scrambled, or got under the seats to pick up gold coins.
"Don't be ashamed like them," Ye Ting glanced at Harry and the Weasley family, who kept stuffing gold coins into pockets, hats, and any other container he could find, and reminded the girls, "These are small children. The dwarf's gold coins will disappear soon."
"Really?" Hermione picked up a gold coin and looked at it curiously, "I thought it was strange just now, who would give money to others for nothing?"
The giant clover vanished, and the leprechauns slowly landed opposite the veelas on the field, sitting cross-legged, ready to watch the game.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome
- Bulgarian National Quidditch Team! Let me introduce to you - Dimitrov! Ivanova! Zograf! Lefsky! Vokanov! Volkov! Next up - Krum! "
Seven fuzzy green figures flew towards the arena.
"Now, please welcome—the Irish National Quidditch!" Bagman shouted loudly. "It's—Connolly!"
A green-clad figure riding on a broomstick flew into the arena from an entrance below, flying so fast that he couldn't see clearly. He won rave reviews from the Irish supporters.
"Ryan!"
A second figure in a green robe flew out.
"Troy! Mallett! Moran! Quigley! And-yet-and-Miss Cho Chang!"
"It's her, it's her!" Penello and Hermione shouted loudly, and Ye Ting heard the exclamation from the next door.
Ye Ting looked at Zhang Qiu who was flying with the team members. Compared with a few weeks ago, although she is still very cute today, after riding on the broom, she immediately changed her original gentle temperament and became confident and awe-inspiring. , her beautiful black hair is tied into a dashing ponytail, even girls will be attracted to her now handsome.
Seven blurred green figures flew towards the arena. Their brooms were all "Firebolts", but only Zhang Qiu's broom was different.
Next up was referee Hassan Mustafa, who released the Quaffle, Bludgers and Snitch.
With a whistle, the referee also took off with the ball, and the game began.
"Ah, he-he-he-they're off!" screamed Bagman. "It's Mallette! Troy! Moran! Dimitrov! To Mallette again! Troy! Levsky Moran!"
The level of the Quidditch World Cup is far superior to the Quidditch Cup at Hogwarts, the speed of the players is unbelievable - the Chasers keep passing the Quaffle to the other players, and the speed is fast, Baggage Mann only had time to say their names.
The three Irish Chasers galloped next to each other, with Troy in the middle, Mallette and Moran a little ahead, all three closing in on the Bulgarian players.
Then, Troy pretended to charge up with the Quaffle, distracted Bulgarian Chaser Ivanova, and threw the ball to Moran.
Volkov, one of the Bulgarian batsmen, slammed the flying Bludger with his bat, hitting it towards Moran; Moran shrank, avoided the Bludger, and threw it. The Quaffle was caught by Levsky, who was circling below, but he was caught in three directions by three Irish Chasers in an instant, and had to pass the Quaffle reluctantly.
Troy grabbed the Quaffle and rushed towards the Bulgarian goal——
"Troy scored!" Bagman roared loudly, and the audience cheered and cheered, making the stadium tremble, "10-0, Ireland leads!"
The leprechauns watching the game from the sideline were all lifted into the air again, forming the giant gleaming clover again. The Veela across the field looked at them sullenly.
The Irish Chasers are superb. They cooperated flawlessly and their movements were very coordinated, as if they could read each other's minds. Within ten minutes, Ireland scored two more goals to make the score 30-0, causing overwhelming cheers and cheers from the green-clad supporters. cheers.
The competition became more intense and more brutal. Bulgarian batsmen Volkov and Vokanov slapped the Bludgers at the Irish Chaser with milky power and tried to stop them from making some of their best plays. They were forced to spread out twice, and in the end, Ivanov finally broke through their lineup, dodging goalkeeper Ryan and scoring the first goal for Bulgaria.
This time it was the veela's turn to dance and celebrate, causing chaos in the audience, even the players, and when the veela stopped dancing, the Quaffle was in Bulgaria's hands again.
Chapter 0221 Zhang Qiu's victory
Suddenly, there was an accident with the Seeker.
The Hundred Thousand Wizards held their breath as they watched the two Seekers - Krum and Zhang Qiu - fall quickly among the Chasers, as if they had jumped out of a plane without a parachute .
