Chapter 180 World Cup (Part 3)

One hundred Veela, the mascots of the Bulgarian national team, glided onto the field, their skin glowing with a soft, bright light, their hair moving in the wind.

They danced in the center of the venue and looked very beautiful.

It was so moving that many in the audience couldn’t help but move, standing up and wanting to jump into the venue.

Their partners are pulling them away in frustration, and it looks like countless family fights will break out after the game.

In the box, Mr. Weasley sat upright.

——This is normal, after all, he is facing the watchful eyes of his wife.

But at this moment, Jane Yu suddenly felt a pulling force on her arm. She turned her head and was stunned by Harry.

His face was flushed and he had one leg resting on the wall of the box, looking like he was trying to step over it and complete a hurdle.

Seeing her turn her head to look at him, he quickly withdrew his hand from her arm in panic.

"Harry, what are you doing?"

Hermione on the side couldn't help but cast a look of disdain at Harry.

A sneer could be heard faintly from behind them, and they knew it was Draco's mockery without turning their heads.

Bathed in the curious or teasing gazes of everyone in the box, Harry wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Unfortunately, the floor of the box was too hard, so he could only use the gap between his thighs as the crack in the floor. He groaned and shoved his head in heavily.

Sure enough, this child is still too innocent.

After all, he is the kind of person who is too embarrassed to even look at pictures of girls in bikinis!

Jian Yu thought.

I have to say that the Veela are indeed very effective mascots. After they came on stage, the field was almost entirely filled with spectators supporting the Bulgarian team.

"What Ireland?" the people shouted, tearing off the Irish shamrocks they were wearing. "We only have Bulgaria in our hearts!"

But they soon needed clover again, because there is something even more attractive than beauty...

——That’s money.

Countless leprechauns forming a shamrock - the mascot of the Irish national team - flew into the stadium.

They circled overhead, showering huge gold coins onto their heads and seats.

"What Bulgaria? What Veela?" People immediately changed their tune, scrambling for gold coins, and even crawling under the seats. "We only have Ireland in our hearts! Ireland is the only God!"

Then the players came on the field... the game whistle sounded... the cheers after the goal...

But soon Jian Yu's attention was once again captured by the mascots on both sides.

Because the Veela danced to celebrate when the Bulgarian team scored, and danced with the leprechauns when they lost points.

The consequence of jumping like this is——

Referee Hassan Mustafa ignored the match and rushed towards the Veela, removing his robes and posing in front of them, showing off his muscles and beard.

This looks like he could be sentenced to 15 days of administrative detention.

A doctor on the field had to rush towards him with his eyes half covered and kicked him hard several times.

The referee, who had lost face in front of audiences from all over the world, angrily wanted to send the Veela home, causing boos from everyone.

Soon, the leprechauns raised their middle fingers to the Veela, and the Veela lost control, its face turned into a bird's head, wings emerged from its body, and threw flames at them.

The mascots from both teams began to fight each other, and Wizards officials rushed onto the field to try to separate them, but to little avail.

This is much more interesting than the competition.

Jian Yu watched with great interest, and didn't even notice that Krum caught the Snitch and the game was over.

......

But after joy comes sorrow.

It was late at night, but the sounds of singing and celebrating could still be heard from the other end of the camp, echoing in the night sky for a long time.

Jane Yu couldn't sleep. She remembered the warning from the Malfoys and couldn't help but worry about why Dumbledore hadn't come yet.

While she was half asleep, she was awakened by the sounds of screams and panic running.

Mrs. Weasley rushed into the tent and shouted:

"Get up! Hurry up - emergency - Ginny - Jade - Hermione -"

Jane Yu got out of bed and ran out of the tent with the girls. Harry and Ron also came out one after another.

"Go!" cried Mrs. Weasley. "Don't mind the others - they're keeping order in the Gang -"

"What happened?" Jian Yu asked.

"Rally—they're marching—all crazy—"

The men were running toward the woods, as if fleeing from something that was moving toward them across the camp. There were jeers, wild laughter, and drunken shouts as a group of wizards huddled together, each pointing their wands upward and moving forward.

They had hoods on their heads and masks on their faces, and anyone who came could see how ferocious they were.

"Go! Go!" People were in panic.

The parading group of wizards looked in the direction of the sound and pointed the tips of their wands at the chaotic crowd.

Their faces hidden behind masks had crazy and smug smiles on them, and they waved their wands with a slight movement of their hands.

The tip of the staff emits green light, or an invisible rope... Countless spells of light illuminate the night sky, people shove each other in panic, fear and chaos become the main theme...

But none of that happened.

The green light did not appear, and even the magic light did not flash. Instead, rubber ducks, rubber codfish, and rubber chickens popped out and landed among the crowd.

The marching Death Eaters were obviously unprepared for this sudden situation. They were so shocked that they stood there in a daze and even forgot to move forward.

The originally neat team began to become loose. Their faces hidden behind the masks showed expressions of astonishment and confusion. They stared at their hands in disbelief, looking left and right.

There was a buzz of noisy argument as Death Eaters angrily accused one another and fumbled frantically in their robes for new wands.

"What the hell is going on? What's going on?"

"The wand--the wand doesn't work!"

Various sounds intertwined together and the scene fell into chaos. The Death Eaters began to shift restlessly.

"Is this the wand you bought for everyone?" a Death Eater wearing a red nose and mask loudly questioned the person on his left.

"I... I don't know..." the wizard said in a trembling voice, "The black-haired girl told me that this is a one-time thing... It's convenient and quick..."

"She sold it to me for 5 Galleons each! You know, the wands in Diagon Alley are only 7 Galleons... It's so expensive... How could I have thought it was bad..."

"Idiot! Idiot!" the red-nosed mask yelled, shouting at the wizard on his right, "Take out the wand you bought!"

They began handing out a new round of wands, and soon everyone had one.

Someone in the crowd let out a loud laugh, which immediately attracted the attention of the parading wizards.

"What's going on?" The man looked confused. "What a noisy party! Is this a magician's trick?"

Jian Yu recognized the source of the laughter. It was the camp manager, Mr. Roberts, with his wife and two children standing beside him.

"You lowly Muggle." The Death Eater wearing a red nose and mask pointed the tip of his stick at him, "I'm going to teach you a lesson—"

A rubber parrot jumped onto Mr. Roberts, and its "quack" sound seemed to mock the wizard's stupidity.

"Hang them up!" another wizard roared, waving his wand. "Wingardium--"

Another rubber frog croaked and landed on the Muggle child. He picked it up with a giggle and played with it in his palm.

"The moon is shining in the sky, and the frogs are croaking—"

There were sporadic laughs from the crowd, but the Death Eaters looked panicked.

"Traitor! Traitor!" the red-nosed mask roared, grabbing the collar of the man on his right. "The plan has been exposed - you made everyone a clown -"

"Don't...don't..." The wizard who was grabbed by the collar pushed away weakly with his hands, "It's all because of that girl and those two boys - I've been deceived!"

"They said it was a one-time thing, and I thought it would keep my identity a secret—it would keep it a secret—"

"Idiot!" The red-nosed mask gnashed his teeth and lowered his collar, pulling out his own wand from his robe and pointing it at Roberts:

"Crucio——"

He didn't have the chance to cast his spell because he was knocked out by a beam of white light and flew more than ten meters into the air.

An old but extremely majestic voice sounded among the crowd:

"stop!"
