Chapter 73: Opening Quidditch Match
Since using the time converter to go back to last Halloween and force Voldemort to self-destruct, Rove has not seen the Dark Lord again.
As his fanatical fan, or... a toxic fan, Rove really wants to know what his idol is doing!
The Dark Lord of the original time and space will meet Peter Pettigrew at this time point, and get information about Bartik Rauch Jr. by torturing Bertha Jorkins, and finally return to the Riddle old house... to be humble and wait for the right time.
But due to Rove's influence, Peter Pettigrew has been executed, and all the things that happened later are impossible to reappear. So where did Voldemort go?
Did he find a new servant, or wander around in the UK, or return to the depths of the Albanian forest to continue waiting for the destined person?
Rove is eager to know Tom's current situation!
Although it sounds outrageous, at this time, the most reliable source of information is... Harry.
More accurately, it is Harry's dream.
Whenever Voldemort was active, the soul fragment on Harry's forehead would want to return to his body. Through this connection, Harry could enter Voldemort's mind and secretly spy on his every move.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Harry is a pinhole camera and Voldemort is Mr. Tang from the domestic area.
Therefore, before Mr. Tang noticed Harry's "camera", his dreams were the most real source of information.
But dreaming of a very cold and humid environment is too general. It is dreaming of Lily that is slightly more interesting information.
Rolf chatted with Sirius for a while, and returned to his box when the game was about to start.
At this time, the deep voice of the commentator Ludo Bagman resounded through the packed stadium.
"Ladies and gentlemen... Welcome! Welcome to the 422nd Quidditch World Cup... Opening Game!"
The audience burst into cheers and applause. Tens of thousands of flags were waving at the same time, accompanied by a mess of national anthems.
A large number of advertising slogans flashed on the light board:
Convenience stick, the wizard's magic wand, poke it before going to bed, and your constipation will disappear. It is ranked No. 1 in the best enema products in one gallon.
Hair growth water, the magic water of British men, apply it every day, and your bald head will become an oasis.
As Ludo's opening speech ended, the advertisements finally disappeared, and now it was displayed:
England: 0, Transylvania: 0.
Just then, a wizard flew over on a flying broom.
"The visitor is the seeker of the Canadian team, the champion of the last World Cup... Mr. Sberg." Ludo said loudly:
"In the game against Scotland, he caught the golden snitch with a difference of a few millimeters and helped the Canadian team win the championship."
When he flew to the center of the stadium, Sberg held up a golden trophy in his hand, and the spotlight also fell on the trophy.
Ludo introduced it to the audience in a professional tone.
"The Quidditch Cup in Sberg's hand is in the shape of Nike, the victorious witch in Greek legend. She is wearing an ancient Roman tunic, with her arms stretched out and holding a golden snitch in her hands."
"Which team wins the championship can keep the cup for 4 years and return it to the Quidditch Committee of the International Wizarding Confederation before the next cup competition so that it can be issued to the new world champion.
Of course, there is an additional rule: whoever wins the world championship three times will get the cup forever!"
"Okay, no more small talk, please allow me to introduce... the mascot of the England national team!" Ludo roared.
On the right side of the stands was a neat blue square, and loud cheers broke out at this moment.
I saw a group of magic students coming out. They had smooth skin and light gray color, a pair of round eyes on their heads, four slender legs, and four flat big feet below
Moon Crazy Beast!
A group of moonbeasts walked to the center of the field. The moonlight fell, and their bodies also emitted silver light, which made the whole field full of silver brilliance.
The moonbeasts stood on their two hind legs and began to dance extremely gracefully.
On the dense grass, a circle with a diameter of 50 meters was trampled out by the moonbeasts, and the grass in the circle formed a clockwise spiral pattern.
That was the grass circle!
All the audience applauded desperately for the performance of the English mascot.
Ludo Bagman's voice sounded like a bell again. "Next, let's welcome the Transylvanian mascot!"
The temperature in the stadium suddenly dropped sharply, and everyone felt a gust of cold wind.
I saw a group of black magical creatures, like snakes, slithering into the field. They looked very strange, like fluttering black cloaks.
That was the vomitor bat... a magical creature unique to Transylvania!
They are a kind of blood-sucking animal. Like Dementors, there is almost no magic to deal with them, but the Patronus Charm has a great effect on them.
Therefore, a group of Aurors were already standing by the stadium. If these dangerous Voldemorts attacked the audience, they would use the Patronus Charm to drive them away.
However, Voldemorts had already drunk sheep's blood before they came on stage, so they had no desire to eat.
As the performance ended, the players of both teams rode into the stadium on Firebolts, and instantly won the enthusiastic cheers of the supporters.
However, from the cheers, it can be heard that most of them are British fans. After all, this is England... the home advantage is fully displayed.
British wizards are waiting to see a bullying match!
A short, lean wizard strode toward the field. That was the Egyptian wizard Hassan Mustafa...the Quidditch referee for the opening ceremony.
Mustafa opened the large wooden box under his arm, and the Quaffle, Bludger and Golden Snitch suddenly jumped into the air.
He also rode on his broomstick and followed the balls into the air, blowing the silver whistle in his mouth.
"The game officially begins!" Ludo shouted excitedly:
“Now the Quaffle is on England’s side, and England’s Abby takes the ball and goes straight to Transylvania’s goal, looking in good shape.
Aibik passed it to Atron..."
His fans cheered when they saw Atlon take the ball.
"Yes, let us give our cheers to...the Butcher of Andorra, the Grim Reaper of Luxembourg, the nemesis of Gibraltar, the Jade-faced Killer of Cyprus, the eternal nightmare of Malta, and the legendary No. 7 of England... Atlon !”
Ludo suddenly became excited, "Atron passed two people in a row, and he went straight to the goal. It's only thirty seconds into the game, is he about to score?"
But the cheers came to an abrupt end because... Atron was intercepted.
"Ah, no... the quaffle was intercepted by Warrington. It was Warrington of the Transylvania team. He was advancing quickly on the court... Wow! A beautiful fifty-meter pass. "
"Andrew caught the Quaffle and there was no defender around him... and he scored! Ten to zero Transylvania ahead!"
It only took forty seconds for the opponent to score. England fans were stunned. Where was the promised abuse?
Suddenly they had a bad idea.
