struggle

When the words "Bulgaria: 0, Ireland: 0" were displayed on the scoreboard directly opposite the stands, Bagman cleared his throat: "Okay, without further ado, please allow me to introduce the auspiciousness of the Bulgarian national team Things!" As soon as he finished speaking, loud cheers erupted from the bright red phalanx on the right side of the stand, and at the same time, a hundred veela slid towards the arena, with beautiful appearances, accompanied by deceptive The dance steps made almost all the men present feel a burst of extreme joy in an instant, and lost all their minds.

As the veela danced faster and faster, Harry and Ron beside Ginny stood up blankly, as if trying to jump off the stands, until Hermione grabbed them fiercely, and some Looking angrily at Ron's gaffe.After Ron returned to his senses in embarrassment, Hermione sat back in her original seat angrily, raised her binoculars again, and pretended to be watching the Veela dance in the arena, while Ron and Harry lowered their heads, never daring to Look into the field.

Ginny looked at the expressions of Hermione and Ron with a grin, and at the same time pretended not to see Harry secretly looking at her with some embarrassment.However, she suddenly thought of Tom who was not far away, and couldn't help feeling a little bit moved. She turned her head to see his reaction, but she didn't expect that Tom was also looking at her.When he met her gaze, he showed a smile that was not a smile, it seemed to be teasing, more like he had insight into her psychology, and his calm demeanor was obviously not affected by Veela at all.

Ginny turned around in embarrassment, a little annoyed that she suddenly cared about his reaction, so she simply raised her binoculars and looked into the field like Hermione, hiding her strange expression.After Tom saw Ginny's actions, he slowly leaned back in the chair, showing a satisfied smile.

In the ensuing match, Ginny was a little absent-minded. Whether it was the leprechaun, the mascot of the Irish national team, appearing and sprinkled gold coins, or the tense atmosphere after entering the official match, she couldn't keep her attention.After discovering that she cared more about Tom than she could grasp, she suddenly felt a little panicked, as if an unknown feeling slowly grew and spread, and she felt that the strange emotion was a faint threat to her, disturbing her usual calmness mind.

When Krum finally caught the Snitch and ended the game, facing the scoreboard of "Bulgaria: 160, Ireland: 170", huge cheers erupted around Ginny, Harry and Ron Standing up excitedly, jumping up and down to congratulate, and Hermione also leaned out and looked into the field.When the Quidditch players walked between the two rows of seats in the box one by one and shook hands with the Bulgarian minister and Fudge in turn, the scene became even more lively. Try to see those famous players clearly.In this somewhat chaotic scene, Ginny saw Tom quietly leaving his seat alone and walking towards the outside of the court, and she couldn't help squinting suspiciously.

After quickly walking down the stands through the chaos, Tom immediately walked along the path outside the gymnasium leading to the camp.When he came to the woods, he looked around, and was satisfied that there was no one, but the bright lantern, which clearly illuminated the path, drew his figure out of the long shadow.Not far away, waves of cheers continued to be heard. Obviously, everyone was still immersed in the celebration of the triumphant return of the team members, and there was no sign of leaving for the time being.

After looking around carefully, Tom raised his wand and cast a spell towards the depths of the woods, shooting a unique light into places where the lantern could not reach.Not long after, Hai Erbo jumped out, climbed up along his outstretched arm, and hissed the message: "Tom, she is here, waiting for you not far away."

"Hai Er Bo, are you sure it's her, not someone else pretending to be?" Tom raised his arm, raised Hai Er Bo to his eyes, and carefully confirmed to it again.

"Yes, I can smell her scent. Although the appearance is different, the smell will not change." Haierpo nodded his head affirmatively, and then rubbed Tom's face coquettishly.

"That's good, Haierbo, let's go and see what she has to report." Tom smiled and indulged his pet's actions, but the magic wand on his right hand still did not let go.He knew that in her capacity, if she came to see him, she would definitely take Polyjuice Potion.Although Haierbo was sure that her identity was not someone else's disguise, he couldn't guarantee that it was impossible for her to fall to the main soul and betray him.

Following the direction Hai Erbo said, he headed towards the depths of the forest, and gradually reached the range beyond the reach of the lantern, leaving only the moonlight dimly illuminating the road ahead of him.When he saw the strange figure not far away, Tom stopped: "Bella, are you here?"

Hearing his voice, the figure trembled excitedly, turned around and wanted to kneel down, but was stopped by Tom: "Bella, I said that your loyalty deserves a higher honor from me, so I forgive you Salute to me. If there is any situation, just stand up and talk." The soft and melodious voice is full of eternal deception, as if he truly appreciates and trusts the loyalty of the subordinates in front of him, but the magic wand in his right hand never relaxes , the way of holding the stick is always the most suitable gesture for fighting, slightly raised and aimed at the person in front of him.

However, under the cover of night, Bella couldn't detect his gesture.Although under the effect of the compound decoction, his appearance has changed, but in those black eyes, there is still the absolute reverence that belongs to Bella and a trace of love that she tried her best to hide.Even though she didn't kneel down at Tom's request, she still bowed her head respectfully: "Master, after that traitor heard about tonight's Quidditch World Cup, he asked me to convey to all the Death Eaters participating in this World Cup." His order, after the World Cup is over, to make all Death Eaters act as much as possible, saying that it is to remind those wizards who have almost forgotten him, let them remember his existence, and announce his return."

Hearing Bella's words, Tom showed a slightly mocking smile: "Very well, Bella, you can convey it like this. Let our dear Death Eaters, whether they are still loyal to me or those loyal to that Betrayers, let's have a vigorous activity tonight."

Bella raised her head in disbelief: "Master, this..."

But Tom waved his hand and stopped her unspoken words: "It's okay, just do as I say, I have my own plan." It has to be said that the main soul has really lost its mind, even Such a method is also conceivable.To announce his return in such a violent way?That is undoubtedly an obvious target for everyone to attack.Moreover, such a method can easily cause panic among the people, and then they will unite and fight him with all their strength.However, Tom was willing to add a little help to his brain-dead decision, attracting everyone's attention, further separating his relationship with him in the magic world, and drawing all the troubles to him.

Although Bella was still puzzled, her absolute obedience to him made her nod respectfully: "Okay, master, I will deliver your order." After saying this, she saluted, Pulling up her long hood, she quickly walked out of the woods. It was obvious that Lucius must be the first thing she was going to.

But Tom stood quietly in the darkness, until the noisy human voices and rough singing came from the path outside the woods, indicating that the World Cup had really ended and the crowd was rushing back to the camp, then he turned around, Walk slowly towards the outside of the woods.The farce was about to begin, so he naturally wouldn't miss it, and he was looking forward to the various expressions on everyone's faces at that time.It's just that such a good show, it seems that it should be watched with someone to be more interesting, for example, that Ginny Weasley who is as interesting as this wonderful show?

When Ginny still didn't see Tom after the game ended, she followed her father and the others through the forest and along the path towards the camp, although she had doubts.In this World Cup where many people gather, if any of her actions that are too strange fall into the eyes of serious people, it will bring great trouble to herself.Therefore, no matter what Tom did, she didn't want to take the initiative to intervene. Perhaps, she could find an opportunity to remind Harry and let him and Sirius discuss what to do.

Back at camp, they made their way carefully through the tightly packed tents, past the somewhat frenzied crowd celebrating the Irish victory, towards their own tent.When passing by a tent made of a lot of striped silk, with a few live white peacocks tied to the door, Arthur snorted coldly: "The Malfoy family's tent, as always, tries to show off their luxury and uniqueness. It's different." He quickened his pace and walked forward without looking back.

The rest of the people also showed disgusted expressions and followed, without even looking there.But Ginny deliberately slowed down and fell at the end. When passing by the tent, she tried to see the situation inside through the gap of the tent, and found out whether Tom would discuss something with Lucius inside.However, in the dim light, she couldn't clearly see who was inside through the tiny gap.It seemed that there were indeed more than three figures, but the extra figure was not like Tom, but a strange woman.She bit her lower lip and thought about it, but she couldn't stop to take a closer look. She could only follow Harry in front of him with some doubts, and continued to walk forward.

When they finally arrived at their tents, none of them wanted to sleep. They were still excitedly discussing the wonderful game just now, arguing over issues such as collision and foul, and arguing for their idols with gestures. with.While Ginny was holding the hot chocolate in her hand, listening to the out-of-tune singing and strange crashing sounds that were still coming from outside, she suddenly remembered that if the original book was followed, there should be a parade of Death Eaters tonight, could it be, This is the reason why Tom left, rushing to arrange related actions?Ginny shook her head uncertainly. Judging from Tom's personality, he should not do such a thing. Such arrogant behavior is not in line with his usual style of secretly manipulating the situation. to any substantial benefit.

Just as he was struggling to guess what Tom might be doing, the voice in the camp suddenly changed.The singing stopped, and she heard screams and people running in panic outside the tent.Sirius stopped arguing with Arthur first, and jumped up from the chair: "What's that sound? What's going on outside?"

"I don't know, let's go out and have a look. Children, don't get lost, follow us." Lupine calmly drew out his wand, motioned for everyone to gather around, and then opened the curtain of the tent and walked out.

Once out of the tent, by the light of the few fires that were still burning, Ginny saw people running towards the woods, as if fleeing from something that was moving towards them over the camp, while at the same time, there was loud jeering, wild laughter. Sounds and drunken yells also moved towards them.Then, a strong green light flashed in midair, illuminating everything around.Cloaked and masked wizards were levitating several figures in the air, laughing and twisting them into shapes.At the same time, a few screamed and set the roadside tents on fire, as if they were extremely excited.

"Death Eaters!" Arthur, Sirius, and Lupine yelled in unison, and then rushed quickly towards the parade, while telling the children to wait in the woods and not to disperse.After Bill, Charlie, and Percy hesitated for a while, they turned around and told George and Fred to take care of Harry and the others, and then followed Arthur and the others to run forward.

Fred grabbed Ron's hand beside him, turned around and ordered, "Go, follow." Then he led them towards the woods.Ginny followed behind them, and was about to go towards the woods too, but she was suddenly fixed by a pair of arms. At the same time, she was horrified to find that she couldn't even make a sound, and could only watch Harry and the others. Turning around, they ran into the woods one after another.And a laughing voice rang in her ear: "Dear Ginny, do you want to watch a lively comedy with me?" The almost whispering voice rang in her ear, so close She could even feel his warm breath brushing against her cheek.That familiar voice was clearly Tom who had just disappeared.
