Hogwarts: The Greatest Wizard - Chapter 326

c326 324 Quidditch World Cup (II)

Including protection magic, warning magic, detection magic, etc.

Even in this formal venue, Feeney still took various precautions. After all, being on guard against others is essential.

Unlike other people in the camp, Feeney did not deliberately live outdoors and boil water. Obviously there were more convenient facilities in the tent, so he would not put himself in trouble by pretending to be a Muggle to hide his identity. Woolen cloth,

Moreover, the location of their tent is very deep in the camp, and there are almost no Muggles here, so there is actually no need to do this.

The girls went to decorate their rooms, and Finny prepared to take a walk around the camp.

At this time, the sun had just risen, and the thick fog gradually dispersed, revealing the true appearance of this place. The tents that stretched as far as the eye could see occupied the entire camp.

Because of the different levels of tickets, people here come at different times. Many people have been here a few days ago.

At this time, the wizards who were camping gradually woke up and walked out of the tents, especially those families with children.

In such a grand scene, children will generally be much more excited than usual, and they will also be more naughty.

Feeney saw a little boy next door holding a wand in his hand and playing with a ball of Oriole. He was having a great time.

It looked like this wand belonged to one of his parents. I wonder how the other parent would feel knowing how their own children played with their wand.

You know, the wand is very important to wizards. For most people, it is their status symbol as a wizard.

“Kevin! What are you doing? You’re taking your dad’s wand…”

At this time, a sharp voice came from the tent. It seemed to be the mother of the little boy. When she saw the little boy playing with the wand so hard, Feeney could vaguely see the mother’s head. An anger bar is rising continuously,

It was also when he heard the little boy’s name that Feeney suddenly remembered who this boy was.

Feeney was still very impressed by him. This was the little boy in the original novel who poked a slug with his father’s wand and then his mother crushed the slug.

Because of the little boy’s words about you crushing Chongchong in the end, Fini was so deeply impressed.

In the afternoon, the opening ceremony of the Quidditch World Cup officially began.

When the Quidditch teams from each country enter the stadium, their country’s mascots will also appear and perform above the stadium.

I have to say that the Veela mascot of the Bulgarian team is particularly eye-catching, and the passivity of the Veela clan itself caused a riot.

Fortunately, Finny’s own strength was not affected, otherwise he would probably have been punished like Sirius. Well, it was his daughter Hope who punished him. The reason was because Sirius was attracted by Veela and left the box. He jumped out of the window, and if Feeney hadn’t taken action in time, he would have been injured not only falling to death.

After the teams from each country entered the venue, it was a performance by the organizer. However, it was actually a way to show the power of the Ministry of Magic of their country.

The performance prepared by the British Ministry of Magic is for a large number of Aurors to perform pyrotechnic magic in the sky, forming a huge British Ministry of Magic logo above the arena.

To be honest, the opening ceremony of the Quidditch World Cup was really boring.

Feeney and the others just looked at it and left directly after the teams from other countries entered.

After the opening ceremony, the atmosphere of the Quidditch World Cup suddenly arose in the entire camp. Different tents were hung with the logos and colors of the teams they supported.

For example, there will be a white, green and red flag hanging outside the tent supporting the Bulgarian team, fluttering in the breeze.

There are also some tents with pictures of their favorite players hung on them. Of course, like other pictures in the wizarding world, they are also movable.

There are also some vendors walking back and forth between the tents selling various props and equipment. Because of the density of the tents and the large number of wizards, walking back and forth used to be cumbersome. They would even apparate and flash back and forth, falling from the sky, carrying trays and pushing carts. It’s full of all kinds of strange and weird things,

Luminous badges, different colors represent different national teams, they can even scream out the names of the team players,

There are high hats, ribbons, and national flags of different colors. As well as the small model of the Firebolt that can really fly. Speaking of which, although due to Finny’s actions, Sirius did not escape from prison and the dementors surrounded Hogwarts and caused Harry’s broomstick to break, but Harry’s Broomstick still made Sirius change to the latest model of Firebolt.

The most popular ones in the hands of vendors are probably the walking statues of famous players. Not only can they walk around on the palm of their hand, they can even show a triumphant expression.

Many little wizards have saved their pocket money for a long time just to buy these humanoid statues.

Feeney didn’t buy anything from them. He didn’t have any special preference for Quidditch. He came to watch the World Cup this time just because he went to retreat after getting engaged to Leah. In order to compensate for his little Just my fiancée.

The most useful thing among the merchant’s carts is actually a bunch of binoculars, which are covered with various buttons, knobs, dials, and mysterious runes that glow with golden light.

These are panoramic telescopes that can replay the picture, play it in slow motion, and even quickly flash analysis of the game if necessary. They are also very cheap. You can buy one for only ten galleons, (well, and other things that are not available. It is indeed very cheap in comparison, but it is actually much more expensive than usual. You know, a cheaper wand may only cost this price.)

This thing is actually quite useful for Quidditch games, but Feeny has no intention of buying it.

This kind of panoramic telescope has a time limit and is not permanent. After all, the level required to refine this multi-functional alchemy magic item is also very high. Most wizards are already very laborious to refine just one. Not to mention this large-scale refining and selling,

And it’s so cheap,

The main reason why Feeney doesn’t buy these things is that with Nico’s inheritance, it is very simple for Feeney to refine these things.

In the next few days, there was no particularly fierce competition, but they still enjoyed watching it. Harry claimed to have learned a lot from their competition.

And Feeney also took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

In the wizarding world, just like the Muggle world, this kind of large-scale ball sports will inevitably involve gambling at the beginning, and it is also organized by official personnel.

And this person is Ludo Bagman, the director of the Department of Magical Sports.

Feeney can be regarded as giving him more face. The number of shots he takes each time is not large, and he does not take shots every game. This prevents Ludo from going bankrupt.

The venue for the game was a huge stadium. Standing in the box, you could only see part of the magnificent golden wall. Even if you couldn’t see all of it, Feeney could tell that it could easily accommodate ten cathedrals. ,

For this competition, the Ministry of Magic dispatched more than 500 staff who worked hard for a year to cast Muggle expulsion spells on every inch of land here.

The entire stadium can accommodate 100,000 wizards at the same time. They are arranged in a ladder shape around the oval stadium according to their seats. The top level is each box, and the Black family’s box is above these boxes, which can include the stadium. In eyes,

There are also various advertising banners on the walls around the arena, including advertisements for broomsticks, all-purpose magic stain remover, wizard uniforms, and various shops in London, Paris, and Hogsmeade.

On August 22nd, after more than two months, the World Cup finally came to the finals.

The Weasley family also came to the camp a day ago. Tickets for the Quidditch World Cup are still very expensive. For example, the full-game package owned by the Black family has been sold to a sky-high price. The Weasley family naturally bought it. It’s amazing,

It was not like Sirius had not approached Arthur and proposed to bring them over to watch the game, but the family refused.

Therefore, the Weasley family only bought tickets for the finals, but fortunately, they were also first-class tickets on the top floor, which gave them a very wonderful viewing experience.

Fudge was in a box with them,

“It is said that Percy Weasley joined the Ministry of Magic?”

Finny suddenly remembered something and asked little Sirius,

Sirius nodded,

“In the Foreign Office, well, I didn’t like him very much,”

Feeney nodded in agreement,

“He was a little too courteous to the officials of the Ministry of Magic, and he was a little embarrassed by the Weasley family,”

Indeed, if it were still the same as in the original work, it is completely understandable that Percy would do this. After all, he is an ambitious person.

However, now, the Weasley family has joined the Black family. It seems that Percy has a better future working in the Black family after graduation than in the Ministry of Magic. However, he still chooses the Ministry of Magic. This is a bit intriguing.

Even so, Feeney still said,

“You can contact him later. If he is willing to join the Black family like his family, we can help him run it. Since he likes the Ministry of Magic so much, let’s make him a minister.”

Sirius nodded, looked at Hope, thought for a moment and said,

“Hope, what are your plans after graduation? Do you want to come to the family to help? If you plan to come to the family to help, this matter will be left to you,”

Hope shook her head,

“No, I’m going to open a shop for alchemical magic items in Hogsmeade,”

Feeney nodded and said with a smile,

“It just so happens that the Black family has an empty shop in Hogsmeade. Lisa used to set up a stronghold there. Now it’s up to you.”

A few people had a brief exchange, and Fudge’s voice came from the field.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome! Welcome to watch the 422nd Quidditch World Cup!”

The audience suddenly burst into cheers and applause. Thousands of flags were waving on the field at the same time, accompanied by the national anthem. It seemed very lively and even chaotic.

At the same time, the highest advertisement in the field disappeared directly and turned into the words Bulgaria: 0, Ireland: 0.

“Okay, without further ado, please allow me to introduce,,,, the mascot of the Bulgarian national team,”

With a burst of cheers, a hundred Veela once again slid towards the arena,

Their skin glowed as brightly and softly as the moon, and their hair would flutter behind their heads even if there was no wind. Then they started dancing. If it hadn’t been for Feeney, they had seen it many times, and maybe they would have felt the same brain as everyone else. A blank, extremely happy, as long as I can keep watching the Veela dance, let them do anything.

Of course, because the World Cup has been held many times, no one jumped from the stands this time. Many people jumped before, so many people were injured, some fell, and some were beaten.

As the music stopped, a burst of angry roars erupted on the field. Most people could not accept the departure of Veela.

“Now please raise your wand in the air and welcome the Irish national team mascot.”

Unlike the seductive Veela, a huge green and gold thing flew into the stadium, like a huge meteorite. After flying around in the sky, it turned into two smaller comets and passed through. A group of goals exploded one after another, like a grand fireworks display.

Naturally, this won’t be the first time the Irish team plays, but their mascot’s performance is never the same.

As the explosion disappeared, a group of things fell from above like golden raindrops.

Leah stretched out her hand to take one out of curiosity. It was a gold coin.

“Don’t look at it. It’s fake. It will disappear when the time is up.”

Feeney said with a smile and continued to watch the performance in the air,

The mascots of the Irish team also appeared in the sky. They were a group of little people wearing red vests and mustaches. Each one of them also carried a small golden or green lamp.

They are Irish leprechauns. They are also very good at magic, especially illusions.

“Now, ladies and gentlemen, please give me a warm welcome – the Bulgarian Quidditch National Team! Let me introduce to you – Dimitrov!”

“Ivanova!”

“Zograv! Levsky! Volkanov! Volkov! Next – Krum!”

As he was dark and thin, with grayish-yellow skin, a big aquiline nose, thick eyebrows and small eyes, it looked like a huge eagle Viktor Krum came on stage, and there was a loud cheer. Cloudy sky!

“Now, please welcome – the Irish National Quidditch Team!”

Fudge continued to shout in his voice, which was enchanted with a voice amplification spell.
