Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

The match between Bulgaria and Ireland started in the evening. Led by Mr. Weasley, Aris and Harry came to the box they had booked, waiting for the match to begin.

The box was on a high platform, and not far from them, a house-elf covered his eyes and sat uncomfortably on a seat.

"Dobby?" Harry asked in surprise, and walked over, and the house-elf removed a hand from over his eyes.

"You know Dobby, sir?" the house-elf shrieked.

"Oh! I'm sorry," Harry said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to bother you..."

"No sir, I know Dobby too, my name is Winky," Winky said.

"It seems that Miss Sparkle has a serious fear of heights." Aris also walked over curiously and said.

"Yes, sir, yes," said Winky, "I'm here to hold a seat for Mr. Barty Crouch."

Hermione, Ron, Ginny and the others gathered around, and Winky became even more uneasy.

"Okay, okay, guys," Aris said, "Miss Sparkle may need a relatively quiet environment. It may be a bit impolite for so many of us to gather around her."

Twinkle looked at Aeris gratefully, she forced a smile and covered her eyes with her hands again.

There were vendors in the box selling Quidditch World Cup peripherals. Aris and Harry each bought two magic telescopes. Aris handed one to Hermione, and Hermione took it naturally.

When Harry handed the magic telescope to Ron, Ron looked very embarrassed. Harry stuffed the magic telescope into Ron's hand and said jokingly: "Take it, but don't expect to receive a Christmas present from me this Christmas."

Ron shrugged his shoulders and began to look into the distance with the magic telescope. The entrance ceremony of the two teams was about to begin, and Ron seemed very excited.

"Potter, Grindelwald," Draco's voice sounded from below. Aeris looked over and saw the three Malfoys looking up at them.

"Arthur!?" Mr. Malfoy's hypocritical voice came, "Long time no see, old friend, these tickets haven't drained your family's wealth, right?"

"Don't bother yourself, Lucius," said Mr. Weasley coolly.

Draco said proudly, "My father donated a sum of money to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, and the Minister of Magic personally sent us some of the best tickets. Our seats are in the premium box over there."

"Why are you saying this? Draco, keep a low profile," said Mr. Malfoy. "Let me tell you this, if it rains tonight, they will be the first to know."

After that, Mr. Malfoy left with his wife and son. Draco waved to Aris and the others and said, "See you at school..."

Except for Aeris and Draco who nodded, no one else paid any attention, because the entrance ceremony began, and the first to enter was the Bulgarian team's mascot.

A group of incredibly beautiful women entered the stadium. They had long light blonde hair and their skin glowed like moonlight.

Mr. Weasley quickly wiped his glasses and put them back on, muttering to himself, "Wow, the Bulgarian team is really generous, the Veela..."

Aeris' brain buzzed, and he quickly activated his magic power. One of his pupils turned into red gold, and the other turned into red, and only then was he able to resist the charm emanating from the Veela.

Harry approached the edge of the box with lifeless eyes, staring at the Veela without blinking.

Ron was even worse. He started climbing the railing at the edge of the box, apparently wanting to jump off.

Edwards quickly pulled them both back, one in each hand. Harry came back to his senses and looked at Edwards in confusion, while Ron wanted to walk to the edge of the box.

Harry shook Ron a few times before Ron came back to his senses. He was frightened when he saw Aris' eyes, "You...what are you doing...Aris..."

"Don't make a fuss." Aeris blinked twice, and his eyes returned to normal. "It's just magic on the eyes. Let's take a good look at those veelas..."

Harry and Ron looked at those Veela. Ron was so scared that he almost sat on the ground. The Veela, who were so beautiful just a moment ago, turned into hideous monsters.

"Harpies," Hermione said teasingly, "Why are you so scared? You all seemed to like them just now..."

Harry and Ron both looked livid. As the Veela left the stage, the Irish team's mascot came on stage, a huge dwarf figure doing a funny tap dance.

Aeris saw through the magic telescope that the huge dwarf was made up of countless Irish leprechauns.

Ron curled his lips and muttered, "This is far worse than Veela..."

But before Ron finished his words, a huge amount of gold Galleons fell all over the place, and almost all the wizards were scrambling for the gold Galleons that fell to the ground.

Ron was surprised at first, then ecstatic. He also began to scramble for the gold Galleons that fell into the box. Eris caught a gold Galleon and examined it carefully.

The weight, quality, and feel are exactly the same as real gold Galleons, but Aeris can feel the magical fluctuations on the leprechaun gold coin.

Aris pulled Ron up, and Ron said unhappily, "What are you doing?"

"Stop wasting your time," Aris said quietly as he played with the leprechaun's gold coins in his hand. "This kind of gold coin will disappear in a day at most, Ron. Apart from Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone, which can transform ordinary metals into pure gold, no other known magic can produce real gold."

Ron threw away the gold coin in his hand in disappointment, muttering: "I still want to return the money for buying the magic telescope to Harry..."

Players from both teams began to enter the field. The most shining player among them was like an eagle. He flipped and moved on his broom, as if the broom he was riding was not a tool to assist flying, but a part of his body.

Ron turned into a little fanboy, shouting crazily: "It's Viktor Krum, come on, Viktor Krum..."

The match between professional Quidditch players was exciting. Even Aris, who was not very interested in Quidditch, watched it with great interest. But the result of the match was quite...how should I put it...quite speechless.

Judging from the score, the Irish team won, but it was Viktor Krum of the Bulgarian team who caught the Golden Snitch first.

As a veteran Quidditch fan, Ron's enthusiasm did not diminish at all after the game. He kept chattering until he returned to the tent:

"Viktor Krum is amazing. He's like a flying artist. Did you see his movements? It's amazing..."

Fred and George followed Ron's lead and began to perform exaggerated body language.

"You're in love with him, Ron!" Ginny said with a grin, and Ron said angrily: "Shut up..."

There was a huge noise outside the tent, and Bill asked in confusion: "Are the Irish fans still celebrating?"

Mr. Weasley listened carefully for a while and seemed to hear screams. He muttered to himself, "This doesn't sound like a celebration... You stay here, children, I'll go out and take a look..."

Bill, Charlie and Percy also stood up, "Dad, let's go too..." Bill said.

Mr. Weasley nodded, drew his wand, and cautiously walked out of the tent, followed by Bill, Charlie, and Percy.

Aeris also drew out his wand and said seriously, "Should we also be alert?"

Everyone nodded and drew their wands. Only Harry was sweating and groping all over. Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Harry said dryly, "My...my wand...I lost my wand..."

Screams of fear were heard from far away and getting closer. No one cared much and left the tent one after another. Everyone protected Harry in the middle, intentionally or unintentionally. Harry was still groping around in search of his wand.

The crowd was fleeing in panic. Several tents in the distance were on fire. A group of people wearing black robes and silver masks were casting attack magic indiscriminately.

The campground manager and his family were made to float upside down in the air by the black-robed men using magic. Several of the women among them screamed in fear and tried their best to grab the hem of their skirts to prevent themselves from exposing themselves. The black-robed men continued to move forward, setting fire to the tents they passed by. Aeris had the illusion that these black-robed men were on a demonstration.

"He...they are...they are..." Hermione said in horror, "Death Eaters..."

"Whoever they are, what they did is too much!!!" Aris said angrily. He had a good impression of the campground manager.

Soon they were separated by the crowd. Fred and George disappeared. Ron held Ginny tightly and was also carried away by the crowd. Armstrong held Hermione's hand tightly and Hermione held Harry's arm, so the three of them did not get separated.

Aeris, Harry, and Hermione were swept up in the panicked crowd and followed them to an open space. After there was enough space, most of the wizards escaped using Apparition, and some fled into the nearby forest.

Soon, Aris and the other three were the only ones left in the open space. Ron dragged Ginny over from a distance, but there was still no sign of Fred and George.

"How are you guys?" Ron asked anxiously.

"I'm not injured," said Aeris, "but I was pushed and shoved by the crowd, and I feel uncomfortable all over..."

Before Aes had finished speaking, a ball of green light exploded in the sky and a huge green skeleton appeared in the sky. The green skeleton opened its mouth and a green python swam out of the skeleton's mouth.

An inexplicable fear lingered in Aris' heart. Ginny threw herself into Ron's arms. Ron was trembling all over while holding Ginny. Hermione looked at the sky with a pale face, muttering to herself: "Black... Black... Dark Mark..."

Harry looked at Aries blankly. Aries shook his head. The moment the Dark Mark appeared, the marching black-robed people Disapparated and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Aes looked at the Dark Mark in the air irritably, waved his wand, and shouted loudly: "God of Fire, make way~"

A sea of ​​fire gushed out from the tip of Aesop's wand, and the sea of ​​fire transformed into a huge flaming raven, flying towards the Dark Mark. Warmth and hope filled Aesop's heart, and the flaming raven burned the Dark Mark to ashes in an instant.

The flaming ravens were still flying in the sky, illuminating the night into day. Several "fainting" spells were heard from all directions. The flaming raven instantly appeared above Aerys and the other five. Its huge wings protected Aerys and the other five in the flames.

The flames that instantly burned out the Dark Mark only made Aeris feel light and warmth. A dozen stunning spells were cast on the flames, but only caused a few ripples.

"Stop it!!!" Mr. Weasley's voice came, "These are my son and daughter..."

"Let down your guard, boys," Mr. Weasley shouted, "we mean no harm."

Aesius nodded to the Fire Raven and said, "Thank you!" The Fire Raven cried out, and turned into countless points of light, dissipating like a swarm of fireflies fleeing in all directions.
