Chapter 462: Enchanted Dolls and Golden Coins
Chapter 462: Enchanted Dolls and Golden Coins
Ludo Bagman's voice echoed across the stands, and the audience erupted in a thunderous cheer and applause, with thousands of flags waving simultaneously, creating a lively atmosphere.
Kyle didn't pay attention to Ludo's routine opening remarks; instead, he glanced again at the direction of the house-elf, Shiny.
The box was now filled with people, leaving only the empty seat next to her... It was indeed an empty seat, as he had confirmed earlier.
Could it be that Shiny was occupying the seat for Bartemius Crouch?
If that were the case, where was he now that the match had already started?
It was unlike Bartemius Crouch to occupy a seat and not show up... Or perhaps, the act of occupying a seat itself was not something he would do.
"Oh!"
Suddenly, deafening cheers erupted from the right side of the stands, and everyone craned their necks to look up into the sky above the stands.
Kyle also withdrew his gaze.
"Allow me to introduce... the mascot of the Bulgarian National Team!"
As Ludo's voice trailed off, Mr. Weasley curiously leaned forward from his seat, "I wonder what they brought... Ah... Enchanted Dolls!"
"What are Enchanted Dolls..."
Before Harry could ask, a hundred Enchanted Dolls glided onto the field.
And when Harry saw their appearance, he was left speechless.
They were so beautiful, their skin glowing with a delicate radiance like moonlight, and their long hair flowed gracefully behind them even without any wind.
Harry, who had initially wanted to control himself, struggled to maintain his mature demeanor in front of Cho, but at this moment, all his efforts were forgotten.
Especially when the music started, and the Enchanted Dolls began to dance, his brain went blank.
As the Enchanted Dolls danced faster and faster, Harry suddenly stood up in front of the crowd and placed one leg over the box's partition, as if he was about to jump down from there.
Hermione couldn't bear to watch anymore.
"Harry, what are you doing!" she shouted.
At this moment, the music also stopped.
Behind him, the girls' laughter sounded like a Killing Curse, striking him over and over again. A sense of shame, unlike anything he had ever felt before, instantly overwhelmed Harry's entire body, and his face turned red in an instant. He wished he could really jump out.
Hermione made a loud smacking sound but didn't say anything sarcastic.
Because the reactions of the people around him were similar.
Ron also stood on his seat, arms outstretched, mimicking a diving posture... Fred and George embraced each other, as if they were dancing some kind of double dance.
Cedric was a little better, but he also struck a very artificial pose... It seemed to be showing off his muscles.
Cho snorted coldly and turned her head away from him.
Cedric's face was as white as the wall next to him, without a hint of blood.
As for Kyle, he, too, had a gleam in his eyes as he looked at those Enchanted Dolls.
Hermione made another smacking sound, feeling incredibly disappointed... She had previously thought that Kyle would be different, just like Mr. Weasley and Bill, Charlie, who were completely unaffected.
Cona looked at Kyle with suspicion. If she remembered correctly, Kyle's gaze at this moment was exactly the same as when he first saw Norbert the baby dragon.
And also when they went to the Forbidden Forest to see those Moon-Crazed Beasts.
As the music stopped and the Enchanted Dolls left, the stadium was filled with the angry roars of the audience. Mr. Weasley pulled Harry back to his seat, and he tried to curl up into a ball, lowering his presence.
Behind him, Malfoy's mocking laughter continued, but Harry no longer cared. He only noticed that Cho showed a very disappointed expression.
Is Harry disappointed in himself? Harry doesn't know, but if he could, he really wishes he was in the stands below, so he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
However, Ron and Fred and George are different. They are still cheering with the others, wanting the mermaids to stay.
"There's still a game later." Mr. Weasley patted them, "This is much better than the mermaids."
"Hmm?" Ron hummed indifferently, still staring at the mermaids, who were now lined up on one side of the field.
"Now!" Ludo Bagman's voice rang out like a bell, "Please raise your wands in the air... and welcome the Irish National Team's mascot!"
Then, a whoosh was heard, and a comet-like object flew into the stadium. It flew around the field, and suddenly scattered, forming a huge, dazzling shamrock that rose high into the air.
The crowd erupted in exclamations of "Oh my!"
Something crackled and fell from above, like golden raindrops...
"Awesome!" Ron immediately forgot about the mermaids and excitedly took off his hat to catch the falling gold coins.
Kyle looked up at the "shamrock," which was made up of countless small people in red vests with small beards, each holding a golden or green lantern.
The error-free version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+ Book Bar is the first release of this novel.
Are they really Irish gnomes, about the same size as Cornish house-elves, but much smarter, and are unique to Ireland.
Fortunately, it's them...
Kyle watched the falling gold coins, and if it were another mascot, it might not be able to cover the mermaids' limelight.
In the stadium, people were cheering for the mermaids to come back, clapping and still scrambling to pick up the gold coins that fell under the seats.
"Is this real?" Cona caught a falling gold coin and couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not, the Irish team isn't stupid." Kyle smiled, "These are gnome gold coins, and they'll disappear in a few hours."
"So they're useless?" Cona asked.
"It can't be said that way, at least the visual effect is great... You can't see the gold coin rain anywhere else." Kyle said.
He waved his wand, collected all the gold coins around him, and prepared to give them to Snuffles as toys later.
A few minutes later, the giant shamrock` disappeared, and the gnomes sat down opposite the mermaids, ready to watch the game.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to the Bulgarian Quidditch National Team. I present to you... Dimitrov!"
A figure in red flew into the field from the entrance. He flew too fast, so Harry slowed down the binoculars three times to see his appearance clearly.
"Ivanova..."
A second red figure flew out, followed by a third.
Bagman shouted out the name of each player loudly, and the applause from the stands never stopped.
"Next, the last player to enter is... Krum!"
The stands seemed to explode, and the cheers were so loud that people's ears went numb. Even many Irish supporters were screaming.
Kyle looked over as well.
Viktor Krum was tall and thin, with a large hooked nose and two thick, dark eyebrows, making him look like an eagle.
Moreover, he always had a gloomy expression, making him look like he was in his thirties rather than a student who hadn't graduated yet.
Next were the members of the Irish Quidditch National Team, who also received enthusiastic applause. Among them, the beater Moran's cheers, although not as loud as Krum's, were not far off.
The two teams flew on brooms in the sky, staring at each other intently.
