Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Gradually, there were more and more people in the box.

Mr. Weasley started shaking hands with people. They were all wizards of high status, either rich or noble.

Even busier than Mr. Weasley is Percy. He has just graduated and successfully joined the Department of International Magical Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic. Now he is Crouch's personal assistant. In front of these big shots, Percy is just an "unknown" A little person, but he didn't dare to slack off at all, and kept standing up, sitting down, standing up, and sitting down.

Not long after, Minister Fudge and Minister Oberansk of the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic came in. Percy even dropped his glasses to the ground because he bowed too low and too fast, shattering them.

While he was silently repairing his glasses with magic, Minister Fudge spoke to Harry enthusiastically and introduced him to Minister Oberansk.

When Malfoy Sr. came in with his wife and Malfoy Jr., the atmosphere became tense.Almost everyone knows the grievances between Malfoy and the Weasley family, and they are sworn enemies.

"Arthur, what did you sell to get a seat in the top box? Do you have so much money in your possessions?" Old Malfoy said softly, his tone full of contempt.

Before Mr. Weasley could reply, Minister Fudge said to Mr. Weasley: "Lucius recently donated a large sum of money to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies. He is the distinguished guest I invited. Ya Se."

"That's great." Mr. Weasley's face was ugly, and his voice always had a gritty tone.

Old Malfoy was like a proud peacock, his eyes swept around the box, and when he saw Hermione again, the contempt in his expression became even greater.As for Ike, he was ignored by him.

He didn't know who this person was. In his impression, he probably got in with the despicable Weasley.

Everyone was chatting, and not long after, Ludo Bagman, Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, hurried in.

"Can we start? Minister." Ludo Bagman asked Fudge.

"Any time, Ludo." Minister Fudge looked very kind.

Ludo nodded respectfully, walked to the edge of the fence, looked at the stadium full of people, pulled out his wand, pointed at his throat and said, "The sound is loud!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 422nd Quidditch World Cup Final!"

As Ludo finished speaking, the audience burst into cheers.Then, Ludo began to preside over the process in an orderly manner.

First, the mascots of the final teams Bulgaria and Ireland appeared.The mascots of the Bulgarian team are Veela. Their graceful dancing has a strong charming effect and is extremely attractive to men.

As a result, all kinds of unimaginable ugliness were staged together, and some people even jumped directly from the high stands and pounced directly on the Veela during the performance.

Looking at the behavior of Ron and Harry in the box, Hermione was very angry. Looking at Ike who was as unmoved as Mr. Weasley and the others, she felt that these two friends of hers were really embarrassing.

One of them stepped forward and pulled him, and the two of them woke up a little.

Then came the Irish team's mascot, and countless Irish leprechauns flying around in the air, waving gold coins around, causing almost everyone to rush.

After the chaos, it was time for the players from both sides to enter.Ludo introduced the players from both sides one by one, each one arousing cheers from the audience, and the cheers reached its peak when the Bulgarian team's seeker Krum came on the stage.

As the referee, Hassan Mustafa, president of the International Quidditch Federation, kicked open the box containing the game ball, the fierce game officially began.

On the court, players from both sides flew very fast, and the powerful performance of the Firebolt was fully demonstrated by them.The overall strength of the Irish team was dominant. They almost kept scoring goals and quickly opened up the score.

Then, the Bulgarian team's players began to move more aggressively, and some people continued to get injured.At the same time, the Veela began to take action. They used their graceful dance to influence the Irish team members, which in turn caused the Irish leprechauns to fight back.

For a moment, the players of the two teams were competing fiercely in the sky above the stadium, and the mascots of the two teams below were also fighting. This wonderful scene made the cheers in the stadium get louder and louder, so much so that even Ludo, who had cast a loud curse, could not help but Don’t explain at the top of your lungs.

Hermione was so excited that her face turned red and she kept describing to Ike what happened on the field.Ike, on the other hand, was a little calmer. His attention had been focused on the leprechauns and Veelas who were fighting fiercely below, and he was still thinking about catching a few of them and studying them if he had the opportunity.

Suddenly, the seekers of both teams, Lynch and Krum, quickly dived to the ground. Accompanied by the deafening screams of the audience, Lynch fell heavily to the ground, but Krum, who was right behind him, caught it. Golden Snitch.

But unfortunately, they ended up losing the game by 10 points.

"The game is over!" Ludo shouted. "Krum caught the Snitch, but Ireland won the championship!"

Accompanied by deafening cheers and screams, the players from the two teams arrived at the top box.Minister Oberansk comforted the members of the Bulgarian team, while the Irish team took the championship trophy from Minister Fudge, and then slowly flew around the stadium and began a parade.

"What a wonderful game, Ike!" Hermione kept patting Ike's arm excitedly and sighed softly, "Oh Krum, what a pity, they were only a little bit close to winning."

"No matter how many times we compete, they will never win." Ike also whispered back.

"Huh?" Hermione was a little surprised. She always thought that Ike didn't understand Quidditch.

Ike saw the confusion in her eyes and whispered back: "I don't like Quidditch, but that doesn't mean I don't understand it. There is a big gap in strength between the two teams. Only Krum is dominant in the Bulgarian team." Yes, but Lynch of the Irish team is only slightly inferior. To be honest, the gap is not big, at least not as big as the gap between other players on both sides.”

"The further the game goes on, the bigger the score will become, and the time they dived, Krum had only one option to get the Golden Snitch first before Lynch."

"With such a scene and opportunity, the Golden Snitch will definitely be caught."

"Whether we lose the game with a 10-point gap or end with a 310-point gap..." Ike shrugged, "This is an obvious thing."

"So yes, it's a shame Krum."

After Ike said this, Hermione also figured it out.He glanced thoughtfully at the depressed Krum who was standing next to Minister Oberansk, and whispered: "Ike, he doesn't look like that."

"Hermione, he became the main player of the national team in his teens and is the world's number one genius seeker."

"Well, maybe you are right..." Hermione decided not to dwell on this topic with Ike, and instead threw Ike aside and got together with Ginny.

They decided to sign autographs and take photos together while the players were still in the box.

Ike was so happy, he needed to calm down a little now.

Before the game started, he took advantage of Hermione's absence to place all his money on the Irish team. Although the odds were very low, they more than doubled.After a little calculation, it's more than 2000 galleons.

Guaranteed by the goblins of Gringotts, the money is very secure.

The audience slowly began to leave, and those in the top boxes also left the stadium through special passages.

Outside, it was far more noisy and crowded than inside the stadium, with people venting their emotions wantonly.

Happy, crying, angry, joyful, they sang loudly and screamed meaninglessly.Drinks, clothes, fireworks, and various souvenirs and items were thrown into the air and then fell.It doesn't matter if it hits someone, no one will care, but it will make a louder noise.

Ike held Hermione's hand tightly and squeezed back into their tent with difficulty among the crowd. When they entered, the clothes of the two of them were in a mess and were wet. They didn't know if it was alcohol or other unknown things. liquid.

"Oh my god, are these people crazy?" Hermione was a little frightened. This group of wizards is even crazier than those football fans. "Ginny also said that she would go to her place at night. She shouldn't have come back with you just now." .”

"You look like this..." Ike pointed at Hermione's clothes, "Ginny doesn't have anything for you to change into."

"I can wear hers!" Hermione retorted, then reacted, "Okay, I'd better change my clothes first and wait until it calms down a little bit outside."

"I think so." Ike agreed.

The two of them went back to the house to change out of their dirty clothes and throw them aside.They were not going to wear these clothes stained with unknown liquids anymore. Even with a cleaning spell, they would still be offensive, so it would be better to destroy them directly later.

After changing their clothes, the two of them sat side by side on the sofa in the living room, both holding a glass of Ike's special chocolate milk in their hands.

I don't know why, but Hermione surprisingly likes this strange way of eating, which makes Ike very happy.

Gradually, the sounds outside became a little quieter.

"It's almost done now, I'll send you there." Ike went out to take a look, and then said to Hermione.

"No, we're not far away." Hermione refused, put on another coat, and opened the tent door, "I'm leaving."

Ike nodded and sent Hermione out the door. The moment she turned around, he moved his fingers slightly, and a five-pointed star mark fell on her body.

He actually didn't really agree with Hermione going to Ginny's place.While Minister Fudge was busy shaking hands with the Irish team members and taking photos, Ike discovered that the magic wave belonging to Barty Jr. in the box disappeared.

Now that it was certain that Barty Jr. would still launch the attack, Ike felt that it would be better for Hermione to be next to him.

Of course, it's not bad on the Weasley side either. A mad Mrs. Weasley is very scary.

After releasing some protective magic on the tent, Ike, who stayed in the living room for a while, finally returned to the room and went to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt like someone was attacking my protective magic, more than once.

"Boom, boom, boom"

Accompanied by a very rhythmic roar, Ike sat on the bed and calmed down for a while, then put on his clothes and got out of bed.

I am still very confident in the protection I have set up, and the constant roar in my ears is proof.

Outside the tent, several masked guys were waving wands and constantly attacking Ike's tent with flames.But every time the flames fell, they would dissipate as if they were blocked by something.

When Ike opened the tent door and walked out, they were still working tirelessly on the spell.

"Gentlemen, are you tired?" Ike said.

"What, just a child with hairless hair?" a masked man said, staggering and almost falling.

"Drunks who take advantage of the chaos to cause damage." Ike murmured to himself, but his eyes passed through the drunkards in front of him and looked at the penetrating green light in the distance.

"boom!"

Another flame flew over from the drunkards, but Ike ignored it, moved his fingers slightly, and the flames immediately dissipated.The next second, these drunkards were suddenly pulled into the air by a force, and then fell hard.

With a "pop" sound, it finally felt a little cleaner.

In the distance, more and more people are gathering, and the people wearing white hoods in the center can almost no longer be seen. Only the four people suspended in the air by magic can be seen, constantly posing in various ways. Incredible posture.

Screaming and crying, countless people fanned the flames and unleashed magic on the surrounding tents and the fleeing crowd.

Flames, stones, and even people made it impossible to guess what would fly over in the next second.

It's not that no one tried to stop the destruction of those guys, but it was a drop in the bucket. They were often dragged away by the crowd before they even got close.

Ike saw with his own eyes two Ao Luo wearing leather clothes and holding magic wands. As soon as they rushed over, they were hit by a magic spell flying from nowhere, fell directly to the ground, and then disappeared into the crowd of people fleeing in all directions. inside.

Walking forward very resolutely, with the marks secretly left on Hermione's clothes when she left, Ike was not worried at all about not being able to find anyone.

However, in Ike's perception, although the mark was constantly moving closer to him, it would always change its direction from time to time, which made it a lot harder for him to find it.

After fighting off countless magical spells that flew over for no apparent reason, Ike finally saw Hermione.She was running ahead with Ginny, but behind her were several big men with red faces and roars chasing her, casting a few spells from time to time.

Hermione had some difficulty blocking her. The people behind her were no longer the ones who were chasing her in the first place. Sometimes they were more, sometimes less, and the power of the spell was sometimes stronger and sometimes weaker.Some were obstacle spells, some were disarming spells, but some were dangerous fire spells and explosion spells, which made her tense up and not dare to relax at all.

If it weren't for Ginny throwing a crushing curse behind her from time to time, the two of them wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.

"Ike!" Suddenly, Hermione saw Ike walking towards her, and immediately shouted, pulling Ginny's arm and running forward a few steps.Before he could get closer, Ike's face suddenly turned sideways. He waved his hand fiercely, and a ray of white light flew towards him quickly.

"Snapped!"

A deafening sound rang in their ears, as if they were pushed violently by something. Hermione and Ginny's bodies flew directly to the side, fell to the ground and rolled several times. After a while, they recovered. come over.

"Ike!" Hermione shouted, looking for Ike anxiously, but when she raised her head, she saw Ike standing between her and the group of people, with crackling sounds like firecrackers. ring.

"Hermione, is Ike... so powerful?" Ginny took Hermione's arm and asked softly.

Hermione didn't answer, her attention focused on the battle in front of her.In a daze, it seemed as if he had returned to the Screaming Shack a year ago. At that time, Ike was standing in front of him just like he is now.

And it seems that Ike is still very relaxed now. He didn't even use the magic wand. He just waved his right hand and completely suppressed those hateful guys.

Before long, those people were all lying on the ground groaning.Ike then turned around, reached out to lift Hermione's messy hair, and inspected it carefully.

"It's alright."

"It's fine." Hermione shook her head.

"Why are there just the two of you?" Ike asked, looking at Ginny who was looking embarrassed.

"We were scattered. Harry and Ron should be in the woods." Hermione said, "Let's go find them. Fred and George are also there."

"That's fine, but before that, we have to solve a little problem." Ike nodded, and then hugged Hermione and Ginny behind him.

At some point, four or five guys in white hoods blocked the way. In the air above their heads, there was a child spinning crazily.

The child's head seemed to have no support, leaning limply this way and that.

"Is the child...still alive?" Hermione asked from behind.

"maybe."

As he said that, he slowly took out the wand...
