Hogwarts in the shadows

As the music started, the Veela began to dance.

An invisible charm emanates from them.

The male audience in the venue began to fall into a state of madness, their eyes became blurred and fanatical.

Some spectators even desperately broke through the barriers of the auditorium in an attempt to get closer to those charming Veela.

Fortunately, just when they were about to lose control, the Veela's dance came to an abrupt halt as the music stopped.

Otherwise, the Quidditch World Cup final might have seen a spectacle of spectators collectively jumping off buildings before it even started.

Amid the angry roars of the male spectators, the Veela had already lined up neatly on one side of the arena.

Hephis would naturally not be affected by them.

After all, he had felt this invisible charm from Fulla many times.

Bagman's voice rang out again, "Welcome the mascot of the Irish national team!"

Before he finished his words, a swift and dazzling light flew into the gymnasium.

It was a huge star made up of countless Irish leprechauns wearing bright red coats and with moustaches on their chins.

It flew around the stadium before splitting into two smaller stars that streaked towards two sets of goal posts.

A gorgeous rainbow suddenly appeared across the entire stadium, tightly connecting the two shining balls.

The rainbow gradually faded, but the two huge shining balls began to merge and intertwine with each other.

Eventually a huge clover was formed, shining with dazzling light.

It rose into the air and began to hover over the auditorium.

As the clover rotated, countless gold coins fell from the sky like raindrops.

They clattered down on the heads and seats of the audience.

People cheered and scrambled for gold coins.

Hermione also picked up a gold coin. She looked at it carefully. "Hephis, do you think this is real?"

"How is that possible? But this scene... is quite spectacular."

Hephaestus looked up at the gold coins still floating in the air.

Hermione couldn't tell whether the gold coin in her hand was real or fake.

The reason why she was confused was because she was not stupid.

In just a short while, at least millions of gold coins were thrown out.

No matter how rich the Irish team is, they wouldn't dare to play like this!

As the giant clover gradually disappeared from sight.

The leprechauns slowly landed on the field and confronted the veelas.

Following Bagman's passionate introduction, players from both teams entered the field.

There was another burst of deafening applause and cheers from the audience.

Viktor Krum was among the people in the picture that Hephis and Hermione saw in the camp.

Referee Hassan Mustafa appeared on the field wearing a pure golden robe.

He was short, completely bald, and had a thick beard.

Mustafa blew a whistle and the game officially began.

Hermione also watched the game seriously.

But those players were flying too fast.

She couldn't see clearly at all, so she could only squint her eyes and try to see every moment on the field.

Hephis held her hand and directly shared his visual sense with Hermione.

"Thank you, Hephis." Hermione leaned against him, finally no longer having to squint to watch the game.

The Irish players clearly cooperated better.

They changed their formation flexibly, and the Quaffle was constantly tossing in their hands.

Soon the Irish team scored a goal, changing the score to 10:0.

This triggered thunderous cheers and applause from the supporters wearing green.

Hermione was also infected by the warm atmosphere. She jumped and waved her arms excitedly.

The Irish kept attacking and attacking.

比分不断攀升：20：0、30：0......直至惊人的100：10。

Under this fierce attack, the Bulgarian team didn't even have a chance to resist.

As the score widened, the game became more cruel and unscrupulous, with all kinds of fouls emerging one after another.

The chaser hit the player without the ball, and the batsman swung his bat wildly, not caring whether he hit the ball or the person.

When defending, the goalkeeper also gave up guarding the goal and instead used hugging or bumping into people to prevent the opponent from shooting.

The Seeker also constantly makes dangerous feints, distracting the opponent's energy and trying to get him off the court.

The referee also started to try to calm both sides down by awarding free throws.

But it's simply impossible.

As Ireland scored again, the leprechauns all rose into the air.

They gathered into a giant hand and raised their middle fingers to the Veela.

The Veela were losing their minds at this point.

They transformed back into their eagle-headed, human-bodied forms, spread their scaly wings, and flew across the arena.

They threw handfuls of flaming objects at the leprechauns.

For a moment, the arena was filled with the screams of the Veela.

There were angry roars from Bulgarian fans and cheers from Irish supporters off the field.

This made the entire stadium even more chaotic.

"Look, he found the Snitch!" Hermione shouted excitedly. She was completely immersed in the game.

She had completely forgotten that she was sharing Hephis's perspective at this moment.

The atmosphere in the stadium reached its climax at this moment.

Half the audience was aware of the exciting moment that was about to happen.

The Irish supporters stood up again and created another green wave.

Their screams cheered their Seeker on.

However, Bulgaria's Krum was close behind.

Soon the two were running side by side, diving towards the ground again.

"They're going to fall to the ground!" screamed Hermione.

"Krum won't." Hephis also stood up at this time, following the two seekers all the way down.

The Irish Seeker fell heavily to the grass.

At the same time, Krum raised his fist high into the air once again, with a golden light appearing between his fingers.

Hefeth subconsciously glanced at the scoreboard.

If he remembered correctly.

Bulgaria: 160, Ireland: 170.

In other words, Krum caught the Snitch, but the Irish team won.

The audience seemed a little confused at this time and didn't even realize what was happening.

The shouts of the Irish supporters grew louder and louder, finally merging into a roar of joy.

"Ireland wins!" Bagman shouted excitedly.

Hermione also cheered. She hugged Hephes excitedly and jumped up with Hephes.

After she calmed down a little, she asked in confusion, "Why did he..."

"Maybe he is too disappointed with his teammates!"

Hefis figured it out the moment he saw the score.

If time continues to increase, the score will only get wider.

Catching the Golden Snitch at this time can still preserve a bit of the Bulgarian team's dignity.
