Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 425 Quidditch World Cup

Fish ran around the camp, looking for friends he knew.

In addition to his Hogwarts classmates, he even met a few members of the Animagus Club, and some residents who lived in Hogsmeade.

Although Fish is not interested in Quidditch, it is a good experience for Maomao to meet so many good friends here and also meet many new friends from other countries.

Since the team assembled by Fisch was slightly larger, Toby and other Ministry of Magic officials in charge of maintaining order had a headache.

It's just that compared to Fish who led a group of people rampaging in various camps, those wizards who used conspicuous magic in their own way were more troublesome, and as the sky gradually darkened, more and more wizards gradually became excited .

As night fell like a curtain over thousands of eagerly awaiting wizards, the last vestiges of camouflage disappeared: the Ministry seemed to succumb to the inevitability of turning against people and letting those who clearly used magic Signs are popping up here and there.

It's just that they still made the last effort, using magic to stabilize the Muggles and their families in charge of the camp in the house, ignoring the strange phenomenon outside.

Following the compromise of the Ministry of Magic, countless peddlers who had been waiting for a long time carried trays and carts, apparated into the camp, and shuttled back and forth among the crowd, selling their products.

The Weasley twins sighed sadly, their channels hadn't been opened yet, and they hadn't been able to get a license to operate in the World Cup, so they could only watch the opportunity to make money but couldn't participate.

Others were picking and choosing among the vendors, buying their favorite souvenirs.

Of course, Fish didn't have much interest in Quidditch souvenirs. He just bought some special snacks, such as candy in the shape of a golden snitch.

Hermione also just bought a green rose-shaped badge representing Ireland, as a way of supporting neighboring countries, and a game manual, while Rove bought a small model of the Firebolt.

When it was almost time to go shopping, Fish said goodbye to his friends and returned to their tent.

Professor McGonagall had already been waiting outside the tent. She was wearing a tall green hat decorated with clover that danced in the wind. She was holding an Irish flag in her hand. When she waved it, the Irish national anthem would automatically play. Pinned the same badge as Hermione's, and around his neck hung a pair of binoculars full of knobs and dials.

"Minerva~"

●ω●
Fish rushed over as usual, hugged Professor McGonagall, and was very uncomfortable by the telescope hanging on her body.

"What are you buying this thing for?"

(ˇˇ)
Fisch rubbed his pinched chest, looked at the binoculars with dissatisfaction and said.

"This is a good thing..." Professor McGonagall was obviously very interested, and she chattered about the functions of this panoramic telescope to Fish. "Replaying the screen, slowing down the motion, and flashing the analysis of the game situation...the functions are much more than those of four years ago." She praised.

Hermione and Rove on the side also seemed a little moved when they heard it. Even if they don't use it to watch Quidditch, they can also use it in other places. They have actually seen it before, but the three of them are not interested in Quidditch, so No question at all.

Only Maomao didn't feel anything special about this thing at all...

"Why did Meow slow down? The speed of those broomsticks and the Snitch is not so fast meow..."

(ω)
Fish, whose dynamic vision and reaction speed far surpassed the average person, said without empathy.

Professor McGonagall rolled his eyes, ignored the annoying little cat, and said to Hermione and Rove: "You can also buy it on the way to the stadium, and during the game, there will be vendors selling it in the auditorium. commodity."

As soon as she finished speaking, a deep and deep gong sounded from somewhere far away in the woods. Immediately, thousands of red and green lanterns bloomed brightly on the trees, illuminating the way to the arena.

"It's time!" Professor McGonagall held Fish with one hand and Rove with the other, and said excitedly, "Fish, you hold Hermione, we should go!"

The four held hands and walked quickly into the woods along the passageway illuminated by the lantern.Fish could hear thousands of people moving around, shouting, laughing, singing.

This kind of fanatical excitement is very contagious. Fish, Hermione, and Rove, who had no interest in Quidditch, also merged into this atmosphere unknowingly.

They walked in the woods, saying hello to people they knew or didn't know. Hermione and Rove also managed to buy a panoramic telescope on the road. About 20 minutes later, they followed the crowd out of the woods.

A huge stadium appeared in front of Fish and the others. Everyone standing outside couldn't even see the whole stadium.

"This stadium can hold [-] spectators, and every inch of it is cursed to repel Muggles."

Hermione looked at the game manual she bought and read, there was a short introduction about this stadium on it.

"Yes, the Ministry of Magic has worked hard for a whole year." Professor McGonagall also shared the news she heard from others, "Let's enter." She led everyone to the nearest entrance .

"Hello, Professor McGonagall! You are Fish, I've heard many people mention you today."

The wizard in charge of ticket checking was obviously also a graduate of Hogwarts. After he greeted warmly, he stretched his neck to look at the ticket in Professor McGonagall's hand.

"Second class ticket? What is that fellow Ludo doing?!"

After seeing the tickets clearly, the wizard scolded his boss angrily.

"I asked for it myself," Professor McGonagall explained. "I don't want to deal with that group of pretending officials and people from pure-blood families while watching the game."

"Oh...so that's the case?" The wizard rubbed his nose with a smirk, and then pointed out the location of their seats to Professor McGonagall, "Go up to the seventh row on the third floor, in the middle of the north."

Professor McGonagall nodded at him, and led Fish into the room. Soon, they found their seats and sat down side by side.

At this time, there were already other people sitting beside them, whom Fish and the others knew.

"Hello, Xenophilius."

"Oh! It's Professor McGonagall!" Xenophilius Lovegood stood up and said happily: "I didn't expect that we could sit together, so lucky!"

And the kids are saying hello to each other.

"Hello, Luna."

"Hello, we meet again."

Luna was still in a trance, and she was very calm when facing Fish.

But even so, Hermione still didn't like her very much, to be precise, the two couldn't talk together at all.

Hermione couldn't understand why Luna believed in many things without evidence, and Luna thought Hermione was too narrow, short-sighted, and closed-minded.

But Fish and Rove like to chat with Luna very much. Fish simply likes to listen to stories, he doesn't care if they are true or not, while Rove is very interested in magical animals such as the horned snoring beast in Luna's mouth. ...

Because these were animals that his grandpa didn't even know about.

During the day, when Rove followed Fisch around, the two chatted happily. Now that they met again, they immediately continued their conversation on the previous topic.

Originally, Fish wanted to join in, but considering that Hermione seemed a bit pitiful alone, Maomao hesitated for a moment, and sat back beside her.

Hermione, who was flipping through the fringed velvet-covered game brochure, looked at Fish in surprise, "Aren't you going to listen to Luna's storytelling?"

"Fish has heard what she said before, and Fish thinks it's better to stay with you," Mao Mao leaned forward, put her head on Hermione's shoulder, and asked affectionately against her cheek: "What's written on it meow?"

(ΦωΦ)

"Well, just some introductions about this World Cup, nothing special."

Hearing Fisher's reasons, Hermione felt a burst of sweetness in her heart. Mao Mao still doesn't know what sweet words to say, which means that what he just said was her true thoughts...

Thinking of this, Hermione was even more delighted from ear to ear.

She closed the booklet and replied, "But there will be a performance by the team's mascot before the game. That should be interesting, right?"

"Yes," Professor McGonagall said from the side: "Every World Cup final, before the start of the match, both sides will bring some rare creatures from their own country to perform for the audience."

Her words immediately aroused the interest of the four children present, even Luna was no exception...

"Will there be a horned snorkel? Or a big-mouthed ball fish."

Hermione rolled her eyes secretly, but she didn't speak out to correct her nonsense, because she had done this kind of thing before, and the result was that neither of them could convince the other, and Fisher had to come out to smooth things over.

And Professor McGonagall also knew what kind of temperament Luna was. She shook her head with a smile and didn't answer Luna's question. Instead, she talked about the performances of the mascots of those countries when she watched the World Cup.

The eloquence trained in telling stories to Fish made Professor McGonagall's narration full of wit and wit. Even Luna was no longer obsessed with the horned snoring beast, and listened with relish.

Just when Professor McGonagall was talking about the 1982 World Cup, the mascot of the Brazilian team, Boitata, the thunderous voice of Ludo Bagman sounded in the field——

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