Chapter 341: The Spectacular Final_A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 341: The Spectacr Final

 A burst of cheers and apuse erupted from the audience stands, creating an extraordinary buzz.

 However, the atmosphere inside the private box hadn''t thawed from its icy demeanor; everyone''s expressions remained stiff. While Harry felt his forehead wasn''t as painful, his mind was a mess, entangled in inexplicable suspicions. He wasn''t sure if the pain in his scar was rted to Barty Crouch Jr. Perhaps it was all just coincidental...

 "What if it''s not?" a voice emerged in his mind. Harry knew what he was thinkingProfessor Quirrell from his first year.

 "But Mr. Crouch certainly didn''t wear a big scarf on his head!"

 Ron ced his hand on Harry''s shoulder, "Hey, Harry, you okay? That was quite unexpected earlier... Anyway, um," he looked around, trying to find something interesting, "speaking of surprises, how did Krum get so energetic?"

 Indeed, just moments ago, Viktor Krum had looked rather scared, but now, as he presided over the Quidditch World Cup final, his voice was filled with passion and joy, as if he hadpletely forgotten about Winky.

 "... Let''s wee the mascot of the Bulgarian national team!"

 Harry looked out onto the field, not particrly interested in the pre-match mascot performance that Hermione had mentioned to him. However, his attention was soon captivated, "It''s Ve!" eximed Mr. Weasley, hurriedly polishing his sses with excitement.

 A hundred Ve glided onto the pitch, beautiful women, incredibly beautiful women. In fact, more than one person had thought: they might not be human. The Ve''s skin glowed, their hair swayed gracefully behind them, exuding a powerful allure. Especially when they began to dance, this charm effortlessly captured the attention of the entire audience.

 Felix smiled as he pulled a rambunctious Ludo Bagman back from trying to respond to the Ve, who had tempted even Cedric Diggory to stand on his chair, wanting to join the dance. But he wasn''t the only one who lost control; those who were seeing Ve for the first time, those unprepared, were more susceptible to their charm.

 Felix''s gaze swept over the crowd; the appearance of the Ve had warmed up the atmosphere in the box. Hermione let out a loud snort of disapproval, pulling Harry and Ron back into their seats. "Oh,e on, what''s gotten into you two!" she scolded.

 The Irish leprechauns'' performance that followed was also unforgettable. These little people, dressed in red jackets and sporting beards, flitted back and forth above the enormous stadium, forming various shapes of fireworks. Finally, they assembled into a massive, dazzling shamrock, hovering above the spectators'' heads, showering them with a cascade of golden coins, like drops of golden rain.

 "Fake," said Hermione, picking up one of the coins. Nevertheless, she still excitedly gathered them.

 Next, Ludo Bagman enthusiastically introduced the teams of the match, focusing on the Seekers from each side. When the names of Krum and Lynch were announced, the audience responded with enthusiasm.

 The match began.

 Both national teams disyed immense strength, moving so fast that faces became blurred, and the field was filled with indistinct red and green shadows. Ludo Bagman could barely manage to call out their names and tactical maneuvers.

 "The Quaffle''s with Mullet! Passed to Troy! Now over to Moran! Dimitrov! Mullet! Back to Troy!"

 Bagman shrieked, "Falcon formation in y! Watch out... It''s in! Troy scores, tactical sess, 10:0, Irnd takes the lead!" He bellowed with excitement, and the whole stadium erupted into cheers.

 The match continued

 "Another one for Troy! The Quaffle''s still on Irnd''s side! You must''ve noticedoh, my goodness! Irnd isunching another attack! Moran! Mullet!"

 "Porskoff Ploy failed... Pass back! Spectacr! Moran this time!"

 Soon, Irnd was leading 30:0, and Bagman suddenly yelled, "Look at the SeekersKrum and Lynch, they seem to have discovered something, they''re tangled upoh, dear! Healer on the field! Lynch is down! Faked it! Match paused!"

 Clutching her binocrs, Cho asked curiously, "What''s going on? The Golden Snitch, those two just did something?"

 Alec Hopkins excitedly exined, "Lanczy Feint, pretended to spot the Snitch, dived suddenly, lured the opposition, then" he gestured toward Lynch, who was dazed and seemed to be floating on a cloud, his nose and face bloody, "That''s the result of a loser, damn luck." He muttered under his breath.

 Felix kept his eyes on the field. Krum, who had triumphed in this sh of brute strength, was now hovering high in the stadium, taking advantage of the rare and undistracted moment to search for the Golden Snitch''s glimmer.

 A few minutester, Lynch recovered, and the game resumed.

 "Too intense," Felix remarked. In just a short ten minutes, Irnd had scored ten consecutive goals. They were now leading 130:10.

 "Yeah, it''s intense. I''ve never seen such an exciting match," agreed Alec Hopkins.

 "... If it ends too quickly, the light show won''t be as good." Felix finished his sentence, leaving Alec momentarily speechless, trying and failing several times to pick up the conversation. Cho Chang giggled.

 As the score widened, various small actions yed out on the field. Bagman continued his duties as host andmentator, "Bulgaria''s Chaser with an excessive elbow movement, ssic foul... Yes, the referee''s blown his whistle, he''s awarded a penalty!"

 Outside the stadium, tension was palpable; both teams'' mascots and supporters were shouting angrily, shaking their fists. But the score expanded irreversibly to 140:10.

 "This match is turning out to be a perfect choice!" eximed Ron excitedly. He watched the intense game and, in the corners of his eyes, the scuffle between the Ve and the leprechauns. "The Ve throwing a tantrum doesn''t seem too pretty, but who cares! Kick that big-bearded guy''s butt, exactly!"

 "Ron"

 At this moment, a cry rang out across the pitch as Irnd''s Seeker, Lynch, suddenly elerated in a dive. Through the telescope, you could still see traces of blood on his nostrils, with Krum closely trailing behind him.

 Bagman''s boomingmentary filled the air, "Both Seekers elerating unexpectedly! Could this be a feint? Is Lynch seeking revenge? Ohthey''re getting faster and faster, no slowing down! No slowing down! I see the Golden Snitch"

 The hundred thousand spectators held their breath, while the two teams'' mascots continued to brawl in the corners.

 The two Seekers raced neck and neck, hurtling toward the ground, extending a hand each, straining their arms to the limit

 "Thud!"

 Lynch crashed heavily onto the ground, and Krum spiraled upwards, clutching the Snitch.

 The score on the scoreboard flickered: Bulgaria 160, Irnd 170. Yet, the audience seemed to be slow in realizing what had just happened.

 Stammering for a few seconds, Bagman finally said, dazedly, "Bulgaria''s Seeker Krum caught the Golden Snitch, but... the live score still has Irnd in the lead"

 He double-checked his notes, then was enveloped by a tremendous wave of tion. "Irnd wins! After thirty years! Merlin''s beard, who could''ve expected this oue!"

 "Indeed unexpected," muttered Felix. "The match ends in less than an hour. Who could have foreseen that? Alec, Clementine, Lymes... we should head out, prepare for the light show. The audience might be leaving tomorrow."

 "Mr. Harp, may I stay, just for a while? I want to see the award ceremony." Alec requested.

 "Very well, thene backter," Felix said. "Clementine, Lymes, what about you?"

 Neither of them was particrly interested in the awards. They left with Felix, passing by the Malfoy family. Draco greeted them politely, "Professor Harp, good evening." He was dressed impably in a ck suit, his hair neatly styled.

 "Hello," Felix smiled, nodding at him. "Looking forward to your performance this year."

 He nced at Lucius next to him, passing by him, and gently whispered, "Think about what we discussed earlier... I''m still awaiting your response, Lucius."

 Lucius Malfoy seemed somewhat ufortable, involuntarily gripping his wand tighter. "Of course, I will provide an answer," Narcissa observed her husband''s behavior with surprise, looking at him skeptically.

 Lucius shook his head, not offering any exnation.

 As they exited the box, Felix and hispanions heard the Bulgarian Minister''sposed voice saying, "I must say, ourds yed bravely."

 "Turns out you can speak English!" Fudge eximed with annoyance. "But you had me gesturing around here all day!"

 "Hey, don''t you find it amusing?" the Bulgarian Minister shrugged, nonchnt.

 Amusing... Fudge panted, his nostrils ring; he felt like punching the guy, especially after all that nonsense from earlier...

 Once he cooled down, Fudge began to feel that Crouch''s behavior had been a bit off. Could it be due to recent pressure?

 As Clementine passed by the front row, she happened to remark to Felix, "Ha, I''ve actually heard this uncle''s proper English pronunciation before. I thought I was mistaken..."

 Fudge''s expression suddenly became quite interesting, and a smile spread across the Bulgarian Minister''s face.

 Felix hurriedly led her downstairs, passing through theyers of audience stands. The top-tier box they had been in was magically illuminated. Ludo Bagman had already started to wee the Quidditch yers from both teams into the box.

 The supporters of the Irish team erupted into deafening cheers, while the fans supporting the Bulgarian team looked utterly lost, not yet having recovered from the shock.

 Standing at a neutral angle, Clementine said, "They are indeed pitiable, trailing by such a huge margin... hoping for a turnaround that never came..."

 "Ve" Felix began to say.

 Three or four Bulgarian fans red at her, and she btedly hunched her shoulders, taking refuge on Felix''s other side.

 Lupin smiled as he followed behind them.

 As they reached the ground, the victorious team soared above them, the Irish yerspleting ap around the pitch with their mascots.

 "At least there''s no crowding." Lupin remarked, "We have plenty of time."

 Felix mumbled, "I was worried about rowdy behavior from the losing fans. I hope the Ministry of Magic steps in."
