Hogwarts: Harley from the Witch Path

Chapter 264 Brother is so strong, won't you lie down!

When a large number of Galleons fell from the sky, the wizards rushed to pick up the gold coins, and some even fought over it.

Tickets for the World Cup finals are not cheap, plus the cost of renting camps, many people have spent a lot of money, and even overdrawn their future meal expenses.

Now I have the opportunity to make up the money... No one minds!
Does Veela have leprechaun fragrance?Absolutely not!
However, the wizards in the top-level box like Harry's did not make any movements. Fred and George just silently collected the gold coins with their feet and stepped on them.

And Ron even chose to sneezed several times in succession, and bent down while blowing his nose, carefully stuffing a few gold coins into his pocket.

Obviously, under the good family education of the Weasley family, they still cherish their dignity.

Other Ministry of Magic officials did not see this scene, but Professor McGonagall did notice the three disgraced children of his college.

She couldn't help sighing, and muttered in a very small voice:

"The wizards in the auditorium below, how did their professor teach them?"

"Is there anyone who doesn't know that Leprechaun's gold coins are fake, and they will disappear after a few hours?"

The three of them were taken aback for a moment, the Weasley twins immediately put their feet back, and Ron threw the gold coin back on the ground, then sat upright, as if the previous incident had nothing to do with him.

Mr. Weasley gave Professor McGonagall a grateful glance, and then continued to chat and laugh with Sirius in a low voice.

The giant clover finally disappeared, and the leprechauns fell to another corner of the arena, and the veela looked at each other across the entire arena, and made threatening gestures to each other to demonstrate.

Ludo cleared his throat and continued his commentary work:
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, and distinguished guests, please give us a big round of applause - the Bulgarian Quidditch National Team!"

"Dimitrov!" "Ivanova!" "Zoglav!" "Levsky!" "Vorkanov!" "Volkov!"

"And Bulgaria's new Quidditch star—Krum!"

Ludo burst out a large list of names in one breath, and every time he pronounced a name, a figure in red clothes would appear and fly into the arena from the entrance below on a broom.

The Bulgarian supporters in the auditorium waved the red flag wildly and shouted loudly.

And when Viktor Krum enters the scene, the atmosphere reaches its peak.

"Is he really only 17 and still at school in Durmstrang?"

Hermione looked at the dark, thin, sallow-skinned Bulgarian wizard with a big gutter nose, and looked at the game guide in her hand, and couldn't help complaining,
"He really looks old! He feels at least 30 years old!"

Harry spread his hands: "Maybe it's because Bulgaria is too cold, making him look precocious?"

"And he probably focuses on Quidditch, and usually trains a lot, so he lacks maintenance."

"But you also often participate in training." Hermione covered her mouth and whispered,
"It feels like your skin is better than anyone in our school."

"I'm different," Harry proudly raised his neck, "I'm called extraordinary talent!"

When the applause in the audience faded away, Ludo's voice sounded again:
"Next, please let us welcome the players of the Irish team! They are-"

"Connolly!" "Ryan!" "Troy!" "Marlette!" "Molan!" "Quigley!"

"And—Lin Qi!"

Unlike the Bulgarian team, seven players from the Irish team flew out of the entrance at the same time, and seven blurry green figures appeared above the arena together.

When Hassan Musta, the chairman of the International Quidditch Federation, a short, lean wizard in a golden robe entered the arena on foot, the arena became quiet instead.

The font on the huge scoreboard is shining:
Bulgaria: 0
Ireland: 0
Mustafa drew his wand and tapped on the huge wooden box he had just thrown on the ground.

The box was opened, and the four balls inside jumped into the air, and the Snitch disappeared without a trace.

Mustafa grabbed the Quaffle and rode his broom into the air.

Looking at the players on both sides who were staring at him, he blew his whistle without hesitation and threw the Quaffle high.

Fourteen blurry figures flashed across the field immediately, and the players began to compete for the Quaffle.

It has to be said that these two professional teams are almost the teams with the highest overall level in the world.

Their tactical arrangement is very subtle, it is clear that only four players in each team can directly touch the Quaffle, and one of them needs to guard the goal.

But the professional team perfectly utilizes the players in the two positions of the seeker and the hitter, and arranges them to constantly block the opponent's player's travel route through various actions.

And the Irish team obviously did a better job at this point, using the eagle head offensive formation with Boskov tactics at the beginning.

After repeatedly breaking through the Bulgarian team's defense, they switched formations again, and finally Troy scored the first goal.

There was thunderous applause on the field!

Next, the Irish team became more and more brave, playing waves of perfect coordination, and within less than 10 minutes of the opening, the score was pulled to 30:0.

"There is no need to continue watching this game."

Seeing that the score came to 30:0, Harry couldn't help but shook his head, making a judgment in his heart.

Judging from the early layout, the players of the Bulgarian team did not even think of tactics to deal with the Irish team.

They were exactly the same as the first few games of the knockout round, just counting on Krum to catch the Golden Snitch early and end the game directly.

So the Irish team can widen the point difference unscrupulously, and within two hours, they will probably be able to score 150 points by scoring.

And Lin Qi only needs to entangle Krum as much as possible to prevent him from catching the golden snitch.

But Krum is not a fuel-efficient lamp. His flying skills are very good, and he is also very good at controlling the Firebolt.

During the game, Krum used the extremely dangerous flying technique of "Lonski's fake action" many times.

He suddenly dived vertically from the straight sky, rushing to the ground at his fastest speed.

Although the Irish team's Seeker Lin Qi did not see the Golden Snitch, but for his own victory, he also chose to dive towards the ground with Krum.

So Lin Qi fell to the ground hard, almost broke his neck, and began to become timid in the following games.

But this will not help the Bulgarian team, after all, the chasing players and the tactical gap are too large.

Although the Bulgarian team came to 80:10 and fell behind by a full [-] points, they chose to use illegal means such as chasing the ball with elbows and batters hitting people with bats to buy time for Klum.

But this did not affect the Irish team in the slightest, and allowed the Irish team to widen the point difference even more through a few free throws.

At the end of the game, the players on the field even got angry and started a fierce hand-to-hand fight.

The players fought and the mascots started their own struggles.

The clover formed by the leprechauns turned into various rude gestures, mocking Veela wantonly.

But they didn't expect Veela to be so straightforward, bypassing the arena directly, rushing to fight with themselves.

The fighting of the mascots is even more attractive than the competition in a short period of time. Everyone wants to see the mascots tearing each other, especially the physical "tearing" of each other.

But soon, the audience was disappointed.

The veela have turned into birds, and it doesn't look good if you tear it up or not.

It's better to watch the passionate sports of the players on the broom!Fist to flesh, how romantic!

The competition became more and more intense, and there were bloodstains on both sides from time to time, but they refused to leave the field, but continued to fight.

When Krum dived down again, Lin Qi chose to speed up and dive together even though he had been thrown twice.

"Doesn't Lin Qi have a long memory? He's obviously been fooled twice by Ronski's fake moves." Hermione asked puzzledly while holding the binoculars.

"No, they found the Snitch." Harry pointed to the grass.

In the dynamic force of the assassin, there is a small golden sphere hovering constantly.

Hermione looked through the binoculars in the direction of Harry's finger, but saw nothing.

"Harry, that golden snitch..."

Before Hermione finished speaking, there was another loud "bang" on the field!
Lin Qi, the poor old guy, fell hard on the grass for the third time, and lay on the ground unable to move, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

The doctors rushed into the field quickly, but only the doctors cared about him.

Because Krum's face was stained with nosebleeds, and his clenched fist revealed a golden light.

The score on the scoreboard stopped beating.

Bulgaria: 160
Ireland: 170
Krum captures the Snitch and wins the Seekers' struggle, but the Irish Quidditch National Team wins the finale!

The Irish Quidditch national team won the championship of the 422nd British Quidditch World Cup!
The auditorium exploded in an instant, the green ocean cheered, while the red ocean cursed.

Obviously, some members of the Bulgarian national team will never have a better life after returning.

They're probably going to be bombarded with endless letters—

Krum is so strong, almost 100% catch the golden snitch, you guys can't even lie down?

In the box, the Bulgarian Minister of Magic took off the wizard hat on his head and threw it on the ground fiercely, spraying all kinds of beautiful Bulgarian words from his mouth.

Judging from the unattractive expression of the burly secretary behind him, the minister's words probably weren't good.

But it's normal for him to have this attitude, after all, Bulgaria's loss was too ugly.

If Klum hadn't caught the Snitch at the end, Bulgaria would have pretty much been shaved.

Contrary to the performance of the Bulgarian Minister of Magic, Fudge's face was full of joy, smiling like a blooming old chrysanthemum.

After all, for him, regardless of which of the four teams in the British Isles won the final victory, it all belonged to him in the end.

Could he be unhappy?

"Umbridge, keep the announcement, everyone is on holiday tonight!" Fudge didn't even think about it, and didn't even think about security, so he waved his hand,
"Tonight, there will be a carnival belonging to the British!"

…………

The senior officials began to prepare for various post-match ceremonies, while Sirius, Professor McGonagall and Mr. Weasley led the children to leave first.

On the way out of the box, everyone was still discussing the game excitedly.

"I really don't agree with Krum's operation." Mr. Weasley published and read,

"Although I caught the Golden Snitch myself, the team lost the game."

"He can wait for a while, wait until the rest of the Bulgarian team catch up with the score, and then catch the golden snitch."

"He just doesn't have confidence in the rest of the Bulgarian team." Sirius spread his hands,
"The rest of the Bulgarian team are rotten fish and rotten shrimp? How dare you touch the porcelain Irish team!"

Bill and Charlie nodded again and again. After all, they are all British and temporary fans of Ireland.

With a team from their own country, who wants to be a baoza (Bulgarian za)?
"If it were the Gryffindor team, Katie would definitely not choose to catch the Snitch!" George expressed his opinion as a batter.

Fred nodded and praised:

"Of course! We believe in Halle, Angelina and Alia, and believe that they will be able to recover the points..."

"Wait! George, why do you have the illusion that we are behind?"

George also showed an exaggerated expression belatedly:

"Yeah, how could I have the illusion of falling behind? Shouldn't it be the opposite side where we lead by a big score!"

Charlie on the side patted his younger brother on the shoulder vigorously:

"Good boy, well said! The Gryffindor team should go forward and win the Academy Quidditch Cup every year!"

…………

After the game, Professor McGonagall walked a distance with Sirius and others.

As soon as she left the stadium, she said her goodbyes and went straight back to Hogwarts.

As soon as Professor McGonagall left, Bill and Charlie slowed down tacitly, and joined the little wizards who were still in school behind.

(ps. Some readers asked me why the Irish team also belongs to the team of the British Ministry of Magic. I will explain it here.)
(Ireland should belong to an independent country in reality. Only Northern Ireland belongs to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which is the United Kingdom. But the original text does not mention the Irish Ministry of Magic, and also mentions the Scottish and Welsh teams. So the author I personally think that the wizards in the British Isles are all under the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic, but considering that some areas have higher autonomy, four teams were sent.)
(This is the author's interpretation. If you have different opinions or have other questions, please come to the group to ask questions or chat directly.)
