v4 Chapter 21： Little Crouch in Action (2 in 1)

"What is that? It seems to be a patron saint?"

"Yes, but why does the Patronus look like that? Is that a three-headed dog?"

"It turns out that the legend is true. A powerful wizard with a three-headed dog appeared in the British magic world!"

There was a lot of people in the stadium, and there was a lot of discussion about the two alien patron saints who appeared in the top box.

"Look, it's a dog!" A little girl shouted, noticing the change in the Patronus. More and more people noticed the changes in the patron saints: they were moving closer to each other, and a large stream of silver steam was coming out of them. The steam intertwined, and the two patron saints also merged together, forming a silver vortex over the stadium, making the stadium that was originally immersed in darkness as if it were daylight.

The halo of the vortex made those on the pitch feel warm, like a swig of butterbeer beside a crackling fireplace.

The halo gradually dimmed, and a three-headed dog about the size of a calf appeared in front of everyone, with a silver flame burning on its body.

Anyone who sees this three-headed dog's patron saint will be shocked by its image: beautiful, powerful, heroic... It seems to be a collection of all the virtues in the world.

After it was formed, the three-headed dog looked around and saw no sign of the dementor at all. It turned to look at Tom and Hermione in confusion, and its six longan-sized eyes were full of confusion.

"Go ahead." Tom waved his hand for it to fly around the field. The three-headed dog who received the order wagged its tail and ran around the field.

The audience burst into cheers, and many witches ran to the front of the box and stretched out their hands to try to touch this beautiful patron saint. Of course Tom couldn't follow their wishes, and kept the three-headed dog at a distance from them, so that their hands were empty, and only a little bit of starlight fell on their hands.

The flames that fell off these three-headed dogs fell into their hands and merged into their bodies, bringing a burst of sweet warmth.

The stadium that can accommodate 100,000 people is very large, and the Patronus summoned by Tom and Hermione will no longer be solid after going around the stadium for a week, and become translucent like a ghost.

"Thank you, you've worked hard." Tom stroked the dog's head lightly, and the three-headed dog barked happily, wagging its tail at him, and then dissipated completely.

The lights of the stadium were turned on again, and the audience gave their applause without hesitation.

"Thank you very much." Bones was very satisfied, she thought this opening was really good. Although the British team missed the final, but this opening was enough to earn all the face back. The Bulgarian Minister of Magic, Mr. Obalonsk, took the initiative to shake hands with Tom and Hermione to show his respect.

He is just an ordinary Minister of Magic, and the young man in front of him is the only owner of the three-headed dog patron saint in wizarding history.

The two ministers and their entourage set off and returned to their boxes, where Ludo Bagman was waiting for Burns to announce the start.

The box was calm again, but everyone couldn't help but cast their curious eyes on Tom and Hermione sitting next to him.

Hibiscus is like everyone else. She was amazed by the three-headed dog that Tom and Hermione summoned together, and after a brief absence, she took a serious look at the boy named Tom Yodel.

One thing to say, Tom's appearance is still qualified, he looks very handsome, coupled with his inner self-confidence, it is easy to win the goodwill of others. If it weren't for the "mixed-blood veela", Furong's first impression of him would definitely not be bad.

As for now? Furong decided to forgive his unintentional mistakes! Little boy, it's understandable to want to explain his gaffe in front of his girlfriend.

When Fleur "pardoned" Tom's rudeness in her heart, Madame Maxime, who was sitting next to her, folded her hands and placed them on her lower abdomen. Furong knew that her principal's action meant that she had something to say.

"That boy is a student of Hogwarts," she said softly.

Furong's eyes suddenly became deep, and Madame Maxime's words made her realize one thing.

"Yes, that game. If he can participate, he will be a formidable opponent." Madame Maxime nodded slightly.

Furong felt like a boulder was pressed against her heart. Is that kind of patron saint really something that a school student can summon? How much winning rate do you have against such a wizard?

As Madame Maxime's favorite student, Fleur Delacour learned about the resumption of the Triwizard Tournament as early as the end of last semester. In fact, although the candidates for the Warriors are uncertain, Madame Maxime has already had her own candidates in mind and has made some preparations - such as revealing the news of the Triwizard Tournament to Fleur in advance, and several others. students who may be selected.

But what Madame Maxime said next gave her a sense of relief.

"Fortunately, we discussed adding an age limit to the Warriors' candidates before, and that kid can't be seventeen... I will contact Albus Dumbledore and Karkaroff as soon as possible to discuss this matter. It's settled—you're supposed to be seventeen this September, right?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"That's good, sometimes being too young isn't a good thing, right?"

"..."

Madame Maxime stopped talking and watched the game with Fleur.

Not only the audience, but also the players who are about to participate in the competition are also attracted by this patron saint.

"Hey, Viktor, did you see the Patronus just now? Too—" The Bulgarian Chaser poked Viktor Krum standing beside him.

Krum was dark and thin, with thick eyebrows and that big hooked nose that didn't make him look like an eighteen-year-old student at all. Hearing the words of his teammates, he felt uneasy for no reason.

"Yin Wannova, if I were you, I would focus on the games that are about to start." Krum interrupted him sternly. Krum is trying to restrain his inner dissatisfaction, so that he doesn't say anything more exaggerated. He is very pessimistic about the next game. Klum is well aware that the Bulgarian team has been able to get to this position, relying on his brilliant performance again and again, and his teammates are actually not the opponents of the Irish team.

How are you in the mood to see the Patronus? The battle is about to begin! Krum wanted to grab Yin Wannova's collar and question him - Krum really thought it was incredible.

But he did nothing.

At only 18 years old, Krum is already an extremely mature athlete. He understood that despite its strong personal heroism, Quidditch was a team project at the end of the day, and he shouldn't say anything against the harmony of the team.

At this time, the teammates were stunned, and it was cool, and don't even think about winning the next game.

He tried his best to adjust his inner emotions, and said to Yin Wannova in a as gentle tone as possible: "But the patron saint of three-headed dogs is indeed rare."

"Yeah, yeah!" Yin Wannova didn't appreciate it, and continued to chatter in Krum's ear.

Krum:  …

The two ministers who returned to the minister's box did not focus on the opening ceremony either. Obalonsk sincerely said to Bones: "I envy you from the bottom of my heart, not only Dumbledore, but also such an excellent new generation of wizards. But we also have Krum, he is still in school! "

"Invincible begins with the sacrifice of ancestors"

Minister Burns just smiled and didn't answer. In her opinion, this is too normal! The strength of the British wizarding world and the British Muggle government are two different things. The Muggle government has long since fallen from the seat of world hegemony, and the British wizarding community is still the core of the wizarding world.

As for comparing a Seeker to Tom, she scoffed: Can a Seeker run faster than other wizards when faced with a Dementor? Wait until Krum is put into a Chocolate Frog picture before blowing it!

Ludo Bagman rushed into the box just right, and asked with a red face: "Minister, can we start?"

"Of course." Bones responded gracefully.

Bagman returned a salute to her somewhat exaggeratedly, and then cast a loudspeaker spell on himself so that the audience could hear his voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the 422nd Quidditch World Cup has begun!"

Under the command of Bagman, the opening ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner.

"...Allow me to introduce the mascot of the Bulgarian national team!"

Tom looked down and his face changed greatly.

"Mr. Granger, please close your eyes and plug your ears immediately!" Tom said this while running Occlumency.

While Tom was trying to clear his mind, a hundred veelas had already slid onto the field, dancing the most beautiful dance in the world.

In the veela dance, all the men lost themselves. There may be exceptions, such as Mr. Granger who covered his ears and closed his eyes in time after being reminded by Tom, such as Tom who used Occlumency.

Tom saw that Harry in the next box had his legs on the partition wall of the box, and next to him, Ron was about to dive. Hermione noticed the restless hormones in the arena. She glanced at Tom nervously, but she didn't expect Tom to look normal.

She quietly gave Tom a compliment in her heart, and decided to give him a little reward after the game.

Calm people, not only Tom. No matter how strong the veela's charm ability is, it is difficult for a hundred thousand wizards to be thrown into chaos at one time. Charm magic was weakened too much in the process of transmission, and most adult wizards with high mana were able to control their emotions well and not do anything humiliating. Those who are out of control are mostly young wizards and underage wizards.

After the veelas left, Hermione smacked loudly and took Papa's hand away from her ear.

At this time, the Irish mascots also appeared.

The Irish leprechauns threw handfuls of gold coins in the night sky, sending the entire arena into a frenzy again. People cheered and scrambling to pick up the gold coins under the seats.

The giant clover formed by the leprechauns disappeared, and the game officially started with the order of the referee.

...

"Ireland wins!" Bagman shouted blankly. "Krum got the Snitch, but Ireland wins—oh my God!"

The arena was so noisy that it felt like dozens of jets were taking off and landing here.

The two teams had just experienced a short but fierce battle, and both Seekers saw blood: Lindsay fell to the ground, and Krum was hit by the Irish batsman with a Quaffle. face.

In the end, Krum caught the Snitch with a wound.

Tom admitted that it was the best Quidditch match he had ever seen, and even Hermione was screaming during the game.

After the game, Hermione leaned forward and looked at Krum, who was taken away by the doctor on the field. "He's really brave, isn't he? He looks so embarrassed..."

"His team lost, but he was the winner." Tom also had to admit that Klum played too beautifully in this game.

Although defeat is glorious, the word used to describe Krum is really appropriate. He managed to save Bulgaria a little face - 160:170, a very narrow defeat, and it looked okay.

If the Snitch was caught by Ireland, it would have been 10:320...

After the game, the Quidditch World Cup will be sent to the top box, where players from both teams walk into the box and shake hands with the two Ministers of Magic. Immediately afterwards, under the witness of the Ministers of Magic of the two countries, the seven members of the Irish team held the trophy together At this point, the game is over, and this grand event in the magic world seems to be over. . The audience left the stadium one after another while talking about the game just now.

"We'll meet again." Before leaving, Madame Maxime suddenly turned her head and said to Tom in English with a French accent.

"It would be my pleasure," Tom responded in French.

Madame Maxime raised her eyebrows and left with her students. Tom also returned to camp after a long wait, back to Wesley's tent.

Halfway through, they meet again with the Wesley family, and Mr. Wesley is pleading with Fred and George not to tell their mother about their money-making.

The camp after the game has been shrouded in a carnival atmosphere. There are laughing and carnival crowds everywhere. Irish leprechauns are flying in the night sky, waving lanterns in their hands, adding a fire to the carnival people. .

People who are partying, don't know what will happen in a few hours.

A man with a hood covering his face was standing in the depths of the woods, staring faintly at the tent on the edge of the woods: Harry Potter was in that tent...

In a well-decorated tent, a group of sorcerers, all intoxicated, were changing cups. If someone comes in, they will be shocked: the people in this tent are all respectable and respectable people in the magic world!

And this group of people, the topic of chat is not decent at all...
