Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 153 Competition and After

"On behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I would like to welcome you all to the 442nd Quidditch World Cup. The match is between Ireland and Bulgaria! The match begins now!"

After using a "loud voice", Ludo Bagman, whose voice resounded throughout the stadium of 10 people, flicked out his wand, and a golden snitch flew into the stadium. The final of the Quidditch World Cup officially here we go.

The whole stadium suddenly boiled up.

However, this does not seem to include the group of "big men" sitting in the minister's box.And some of them are even more serious.

After chatting with Lu Yunkai about Voldemort, Lucius seemed to have completely lost interest in this match. He seemed to be thinking about something with a dark face, although his eyes were still looking at the fiercely contested two sides in the arena.

Draco, who sat on the other end of him, was completely immersed in the game, with an excited expression on his face.

As for Lu Yunkai... It's boring.Although the Irish team was riding the latest Firebolt broom, the excellent start-stop performance made Lu Yunkai even think about buying one himself, but he really couldn't put himself into the game.

He really couldn't understand those complicated coordination and tactics.

In addition, he and Daphne had agreed to go to see her father together, so they were not prepared to watch the game from the beginning, and Daphne didn't get today's ticket, so she didn't come at all, which also made Lu Yunkai feel that if he watched I had so much fun watching the game, I feel a little sorry for her...

So he focused on something else.

Lu Yunkai still did a little homework in order to make himself appear as if he didn't know anything, and then be shown off by Draco, who always liked to show off.

1473 was the first Quidditch World Cup, and after that it was held every four years. Lu Yunkai calculated in his mind several times, but he still couldn't figure out how this year would be the 442nd.

Then he was completely entangled in this problem and couldn't extricate himself.

So much so that he didn't notice that the owner of the house elf who claimed to occupy the seat hadn't appeared until this time.

……

"Today's game was really exciting!! The performance of the Irish team was simply amazing! Sure enough, defense is the key to the team's victory!" Malfoy shouted excitedly, "Those barbarians in Bulgaria! Go to hell!! "

"……Um."

Lu Yunkai smiled and applauded.

Most of the people in the entire box were clapping their hands.

In one afternoon, the game started to finish.The fabled match between Gore and Crabbe for several months was fortunately not played out in the Quidditch World Cup final.

All this is thanks to the Bulgarian team's Seeker Viktor Krum, whom Malfoy complained about as a barbarian.He should be less than 20 years old this year, and he managed to catch the Snitch ahead of the Irish Seeker.

It's just that his teammates are really stretching their hips.Ireland's batsmen and chasers have put them too far ahead of Bulgaria in his efforts to chase the Snitch.

It was a defensive and team victory, but Krum was the hero of the game.

Indeed, as Malfoy said, this is a very exciting game, but because there are no teams from the British Isles participating (the three British teams have already left the field in disastrous defeats as early as the qualifying stage), the audience in the box No one is so excited.

With the end of the competition, the awards ceremony was about to begin, but Lu Yunkai had no interest in this, so he wanted to leave first.

"Don't be in a hurry? The awards ceremony will be here soon! You can also congratulate the Irish team at a close distance." Malfoy couldn't understand Lu Yunkai's haste to leave at this time.

"After the awards ceremony is over, there will probably be a sea of ​​people outside. I'd better not join in the fun." Lu Yun laughed, "Otherwise, I'll leave the venue soon, God knows if I can find old Eli and the others..."

"Don't worry! Use our portkey to go to my house first, and then you can use Floo powder to go back." Malfoy insisted, "Don't you want to stay in a tent for one night like that group of people, tomorrow morning Go back again?"

"It's all here, it's good to have some wine..." Lu Yunkai muttered, "Didn't Gore and Crabbe come too? They're going back tonight too?"

He also thought about meeting old Eli and the others for a while, and then go to see if he could meet Ron and Harry!

"We're all going back tonight." Lucius interrupted and nodded, "There are too many people in this place, it's not safe to stay for a long time. "

"Why is this so unsafe, there are so many people in the Ministry of Magic..." Lu Yunkai muttered.

His eyes turned to the side.

stunned.

The house elf is still there!

Strange!You claimed to help your master occupy a seat, and you occupied the entire game. Now that the game is over, your master hasn't come yet, and you are still occupying it...

Are you taking a seat for yourself?
Um, not right!Why stand by for the entire game when it's your own seat?It's not like there's someone in the seat...

Wait a moment! !

Lu Yunkai's eyelids twitched suddenly, and then he lowered his voice.

"Mr. Malfoy, who owns that seat next to me? Why hasn't anyone sat there for the entire game?"

"...It seems to belong to Director Barty Crouch of the Department of International Cooperation?" Lucius was first taken aback by Lu Yunkai's question, and then glanced at the house elf standing there, "He is always busy, maybe What's the matter today, can't you watch the game?"

"Oh..." Lu Yunkai glanced at the empty seat again, and fell silent.

If it was because he was too busy to come, the house elf should have already left, right?After all, the game is over.I want to come to that seat, I'm afraid it's not empty, right?At this moment, a thought flashed through Lu Yunkai's mind.

Invisibility cloak?

Since it was Barty Crouch's house-elf, could it be... his son sitting on it? ?Damn it!If he had known that there was someone in the seat next to him, he shouldn't have said what he just said to Lucius! !
Why didn't I notice it earlier!
Uh, it doesn't seem right, if it wasn't for the fact that this seat was empty until the end of the game, Lu Yunkai wouldn't have dared to think that there might be a person wearing an invisibility cloak sitting on it, right?
……

The award ceremony after the game went quickly.The Bulgarian team did not have too many regrets after losing. Klum won the best player award. As for Ireland, which won the championship, it was not a problem. They happily took over the trophy and began to celebrate.

And the winning Irish players didn't even all leave the minister's box, Lucius stood up.

"Let's go." Lucius said to Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai glanced at the Irish players who were still flying all over the field, a little confused.

No, you guys said to watch the awards ceremony, now the awards are over, but the ceremony is not over yet!Why should we wait until the players leave the field and the audience also start to leave the field before talking about the end?

This is just to watch them leave after receiving the prize... Well, actually, this time is actually not much different from when I was leaving just now, so there shouldn't be any congestion or other problems.

So he simply stood up with Malfoy and his son, walked out of the minister's box, and walked out of the stadium along the dedicated passage.

While walking, Lu Yunkai kept an eye on the house elf who was still standing there in a daze, until he turned a corner and was out of sight.

"I really don't understand why portkeys aren't even allowed in the minister's box. Would it be okay to arrange the Floo network?"

Draco walked a few steps, and seemed to have recovered from the excitement of the game just now, and began to complain.

"Shape-shifting magic is not allowed in the entire stadium, and the Ministry of Magic doesn't want this box to look too special. You can't walk too far, and you won't be exhausted." Lucius reprimanded Draco with a straight face One sentence.

"... Even if you don't want to be special anymore, isn't it still special, is it useful to pretend like this?" Draco continued to complain in a low voice.

But the confidence is indeed not as strong as before.

Lu Yun, who was beside him, laughed.Although he always felt that Draco's idea of ​​Lao Tzu being number one in the world was naive, but this time, he really felt that Malfoy's statement was all right.

The passage from the minister's box to the outside of the stadium was not long, so it didn't take long for the three of them to walk to a place outside the stadium where the door keys could be used.

"You go back first." Lucius took out the port key and handed it to Draco.

"...Do you have anything else to do?"

"Some things have nothing to do with you." Lucius shook his head, then glanced at Lu Yunkai.

Lu Yunkai was taken aback.

What are you looking at me for?It has nothing to do with Draco, does it have something to do with me?

Secretly cursing in his heart, Lu Yunkai and Draco still took the door key and returned to Malfoy Manor together.Greeting Mrs. Malfoy who didn't know why (Lu Yunkai guessed it might be to give up the seat to himself) who didn't go to the game, Lu Yunkai went home through the fireplace.

"Why did you come back today?"

"Well. What are you doing?"

"Xueli's cooking is really terrible. I just thought that since you're not at home these two days, I just brought my house elf over to teach it how to cook." Daphne smiled at Lu Yun naturally. She waved her hand and motioned him to sit down on the chair beside her, "And I don't want to stay at home, Astoria's friend is looking for her to play, the whole house is noisy, and I have a headache."

"Actually, it's nothing! That girl in Astoria has always been quite shy. If you have a good friend to play with, don't nag her."

"I know! So I didn't say anything! I just avoided it myself. My sister doesn't need you to feel bad!" Daphne rolled her eyes at Lu Yun, then picked up the black teapot at hand, and poured a cup for Lu Yunkai, "Dinner is over. ?"

"No, the stadium doesn't care about food, neither does the Malfoy family." Lu Yun laughed and complained, "Draco's father didn't know what he was doing, and his mother was also a little absent-minded, so he didn't let me eat .”

"Oh, then I'll ask Xueli to do it for you now, so you can test what it has learned this afternoon?"

"Alright." Lu Yun nodded with a smile, "By the way, I saw a small transforming golden snitch toy outside the Quidditch stadium today, so I bought a pair and gave you one."

While talking, Lu Yunkai took out two golden balls from his pocket and handed one to Daphne.

"Oh? How does this thing work?"

"Actually, it's similar to my communication mirror, that is, it will turn into the person holding another golden ball, and then talk to you in the way he talks... But I think it can fly around, but it doesn't have to be used It’s easier to hold a mirror in hand, so I bought two.”

"...This is not as good as a mirror!"

After taking over the Snitch, and watching it turn into a golden villain in her hands who was [-]% similar to Lu Yunkai, with a pair of dragonfly-like wings, Daphne complained a little speechlessly.

"Didn't you always say that the mirror I studied had to be held by hand, and I would hit my face when I chatted and fell asleep at night! This will not happen."

"...All right. But I still like to use a mirror." Daphne put away the flying Snitch, turned it into a small ball, and put it in her pocket, "I'll let Shirley make it for you." Rice, and then you can talk to me about the game later?"

"There is nothing to talk about in the game, but there are some interesting people outside the stadium. I will tell you about it later!"

"Hmm! Good!"
