"Yes, but why does the patron saint look like that? Is that a three-headed dog?"
"It turns out that the legend is true. A powerful wizard whose patron saint is a three-headed dog has appeared in the British magical world!"
The stadium was filled with people, talking about the two alien patron saints that appeared in the top box.
"Look, the dog has turned into a dog!" a little girl noticed the change of the patron saint and shouted loudly. More and more people noticed the change of the patron saint: they were moving closer to each other, and large streams of silver steam came out of their bodies. The steam intertwined, and the two patron saints merged together, forming a silver vortex over the stadium, making the stadium originally plunged into darkness seem like daylight.
The halo emitted by the vortex made people on the court feel warm, as if they had taken a swig of butterbeer by a crackling fireplace.
The halo gradually dimmed, and a three-headed dog about the size of a calf appeared in front of everyone, with a layer of silver flames burning on its surface.
Anyone who sees this three-headed dog patron saint is shocked by its image: beautiful, powerful, heroic... It seems to be a collection of all the virtues in the world.
After it was formed, the three-headed dog looked around with its three heads, but saw no trace of the Dementor at all. It turned to look at Tom and Hermione in confusion, its six eyes the size of longan filled with confusion.
"Go." Tom waved his hand and signaled it to gallop around the field. After receiving the order, the three-headed dog wagged its tail and started running around the field.
The audience burst into cheers, and many witches ran to the front of the box and stretched out their hands to try to pet this beautiful patron saint. Of course, Tom couldn't obey their wishes and let the three-headed dog stay at the same level as them. The looming distance made their hands empty, and only a little starlight fell on their hands.
The flames shed from these three-headed dogs fell into their hands and blended into their bodies, bringing a burst of sweet warmth.
The stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is very large. The patron saint summoned by Tom and Hermione became no longer solid after one circle around the stadium, and turned into a translucent shape similar to a ghost.
"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." Tom gently stroked the head of the dog among them, and the three-headed dog barked happily, wagging its tail at him and then completely dissipated.
The lights in the stadium came back on, and the audience gave their applause without hesitation.
"Thank you very much." Bones was very satisfied. She thought this opening was really great. Although the British team missed the final, this opening was enough to earn back all the face. Bulgaria's Minister of Magic Obalonsk The husband even took the initiative to shake hands with Tom and Hermione to show his respect.
He is just an ordinary Minister of Magic, and the young man in front of him is the only owner of a three-headed dog patron saint in the history of wizards.
The two ministers and their suites returned to their boxes, where Ludo Bagman was waiting for Bones to announce the start.
Calmness returned to the box, but everyone couldn't help but cast curious eyes on Tom and Hermione sitting next to him...
Fleur was like everyone else. She was amazed by the three-headed dog summoned by Tom and Hermione. After a brief absence, she took a serious look at the boy named Tom Yoder.
One thing to say, Tom's appearance is still passable, he looks very delicate, and coupled with his inner self-confidence, it is easy to win the favor of others. If it weren't for the phrase "half-breed Veela", Fleur's first impression of him would be
The impression is definitely not bad.
As for now? Fleur decided to forgive him for his unintentional mistake! As a little boy, it is understandable that he wants to explain his gaffe in front of his girlfriend.
When Fleur was "forgiving" Tom's rudeness in her heart, Madame Maxime, who was sitting next to her, crossed her hands and placed them on her lower abdomen. Fleur knew that her principal's gesture meant that she had something to say.
"That boy is a student at Hogwarts." She said softly.
Fleur's eyes suddenly became dark, and Mrs. Maxim's words made her realize one thing.
"Yes, that game. If he can participate, he will be a strong opponent." Mrs. Maxim nodded slightly.
Fleur felt like a huge stone was weighing on her heart. Can that kind of patron saint really be summoned by a school student? What is her chance of winning against such a wizard?
As Madame Maxime's favorite student, Fleur Delacour had learned about the resumption of the Triwizard Tournament as early as the end of last semester. In fact, although the candidate for the warrior was uncertain, Max
Mrs. Mu had already had her own candidate in mind, and had made some preparations - such as revealing the news of the Triwizard Tournament to Fleur in advance, as well as several other students who might be selected.
But Madame Maxime's next words made her feel relieved.
"Fortunately, we have discussed increasing the age limit for warrior candidates before. The child cannot be over seventeen years old... I will contact Albus Dumbledore and Karkaroff as soon as possible to discuss this matter.
It’s settled—you’ll be seventeen this September, right?”
"Yes, ma'am."
"That's good. Sometimes being too young is not a good thing, right?"
"..."
Madame Maxime stopped talking and watched the game with Fleur.
Not only the audience, but also the players who were about to participate in the competition were attracted by this patron saint.
"Hey, Viktor, did you see the Patronus just now? It's too——" The Bulgarian Chaser poked Viktor Krum who was standing next to him.
Krum was dark and thin, with thick eyebrows and a big aquiline nose that made him look nothing like an eighteen-year-old student. Hearing his teammates' words, he felt unhappy for no reason.
"Yin Vanova, if I were you, I would focus on the game that is about to start." Krum interrupted him firmly. Krum was trying hard to restrain his inner dissatisfaction and let himself not
To say something even more outrageous. He is very pessimistic about the next game. Krum knows very well that the Bulgarian team can reach this position because of his wonderful performances time and time again. His teammates are actually not the Irish team.
opponent...
Why are you in the mood to watch the Patronus? The decisive battle is about to begin! Krum really wants to grab Yinvanova's collar and question him - Krum really finds it incredible.
But he did nothing.
Krum, who is only eighteen years old, is already an extremely mature athlete. He understands that although Quidditch has a strong color of individual heroism, it is still a team sport in the final analysis, and he should not say anything that is not conducive to
If the team is harmonious.
At this time, it's great to talk to your teammates, but don't think about winning the next game.
He tried hard to adjust his inner emotions, and said to Yin Wanova in as gentle a tone as possible: "But the three-headed dog patron saint is indeed rare."
"Yes, yes!" Yinvanova did not appreciate it and continued to chatter in Krum's ears.
Krum:......
The two ministers who returned to the minister's box did not focus on the opening ceremony. Obalonsk said sincerely to Bones: "I envy you from the bottom of my heart, not only Dumbledore, but also such an outstanding person.
A new generation of wizards. But we also have Krum, who is still in school!"
Minister Bones just smiled and did not reply. In her opinion, this was absolutely normal! The strength of the British wizarding community and the British Muggle government were two different things. The Muggle government had long since fallen from its position as the world's hegemon.
The British wizarding world is still the core of the wizarding world.
As for comparing a seeker with Tom, she even scoffed: Can a seeker run faster than other wizards when encountering dementors? Wait until Krum is put into the chocolate frog cartoon.
Blow it!
Ludo Bagman rushed into the box at the right time and asked with a red face: "Minister, can we start?"
"Of course." Bones responded gracefully.
Bagman returned the greeting to her somewhat exaggeratedly, and then used an amplifying spell on himself so that the whole audience could hear his voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the 422nd Quidditch World Cup has begun!"
Under the command of Bagman, the opening ceremony went on in an orderly manner.
"...Please allow me to introduce the mascot of the Bulgarian national team!"
Tom looked down and his expression changed drastically.
"Mr. Granger, please close your eyes and plug your ears immediately!" When Tom said these words, he also activated Occlumency.
While Tom was trying hard to clear his mind, a hundred Veelas had already slid onto the field and danced the most beautiful dance in the world.
During the Veela dance, all the men in the audience lost themselves. There may be exceptions, such as Mr. Granger who covered his ears and closed his eyes in time after being reminded by Tom, or Tom who used Occlumency.
Tom saw that Harry in the next box had his legs on the partition wall of the box. Next to him, Ron looked like he was about to dive. Hermione noticed the restless hormones in the arena, and she glanced nervously.
Tom, I didn’t expect Tom to look quite normal.
She secretly gave Tom a thumbs up in her mind and decided to give him a reward after the game.
Tom is not the only one who is calm. No matter how strong the Veela's charm ability is, it is difficult to plunge a hundred thousand wizards into chaos at once. The charm magic has been weakened too much in the process of transmission, and most adult wizards with high magical powers can easily
The good ones control their emotions and don't do anything harmful to their dignity. Those who lose control are mostly wizards who have just grown up and underage wizards...
After the Veela left, Hermione made a loud smacking sound and removed her father's hand from her ear.
At this time the Irish mascots also appeared.
The Irish leprechauns threw handfuls of gold coins into the night sky, making the whole stadium go crazy again. People cheered and scrambled to pick up the gold coins under the seats.
The giant clover formed by the leprechauns disappeared, and the game officially started with the referee's order.
…
"The Irish team won!" Bagman shouted with a blank look on his face. "Krum caught the Golden Snitch, but the Irish team won-oh my god!"
The stadium was so noisy that it felt like dozens of jet planes were taking off and landing here.
The two teams had just experienced a short but fierce contest, and both seekers were covered in blood: Linzi fell to the ground, and Krum was hit by the Irish team's batsman with a quaffle.
Face.
Finally, Klum was injured and caught the snitch.
Tom admitted that this was the most exciting Quidditch match he had ever seen, and even Hermione kept screaming during the match.
After the game, Hermione leaned forward and stared at Krum, who was taken away by the doctor on the field. "He is really brave, isn't he? He looks really embarrassed..."
"His team failed, but he was the winner." Tom also had to admit that Krum played so beautifully in this game.
Although it was an honor to lose, this word is really apt to describe Krum. He succeeded in saving a little face for Bulgaria - 160:170, a very rare defeat, it seems okay.
If the snitch is caught by the Irish team, the score will be 10:320...
After the game, the Quidditch World Cup players were sent to the top box. The members of the two teams walked into the box together and shook hands with the two ministers of magic. Then, under the witness of the two ministers of magic, the seven members of the Irish team
The team members lifted the trophy together.
At this point, the game is over, and this magical event seems to be over. The audience left the stadium one after another while talking about the game just now.
"We will meet again." Before leaving, Mrs. Maxim suddenly turned her head and said to Tom in English with a French accent.
"It would be my pleasure." Tom responded in French.
Mrs. Maxim raised her eyebrows and left with her students. Tom also returned to the camp after a long wait and returned to Weslai's tent.
On the way, they met up with the Weasley family again. Mr. Weasley was begging Fred and George not to tell their mother about their gambling.
The camp after the game has been enveloped in a carnival atmosphere, full of laughter and carnival crowds. Irish leprechauns are flying through the night sky, waving lanterns in their hands, adding fuel to the carnival crowd.
.
The carnival people don't know what will happen in a few hours.
A man with a hood covering his face was standing deep in the woods, staring dimly at the tent at the edge of the woods: Harry Potter was in that tent...
In an extremely well-decorated tent, a group of wizards were drinking and drinking. If anyone came in, they would be surprised: the people in this tent are all respectable and respectable people in the magic world!
As for this group of decent people, the topics they chat about are not decent at all...
