Chapter 847: World Cup Final

"Merlin's beard, you can't find it here."

Fred looked around the humble environment in the tent and looked at his friend questioningly, "Don't tell me, you live here in the past few days?"

"Don't be silly Fred, Albert likes to enjoy life more than you, how could you possibly sleep here." George thought Fred's words sounded silly, and handed Albert the parchment that Sirius asked them to pass on. , By the way, brought the topic back to the reason why the two came to find Albert.

"Did you ask Sirius to help place a bet?"

When George saw that Albert was looking at the parchment carefully, he had no intention of answering, and he knew that the other party had acquiesced.

There are some things, just know in your heart, there is no need to clarify them.

George continued: "We bet on Ludo Bagman. Like Black, we bet that the Irish team will win the game and score first, but Victor Krum will catch the Golden Snitch..."

"Moreover, after the game, the scores of both sides will not exceed 30 points." Fred grabbed George's words and continued.

"How many times?"

"What?" Fred didn't react for a moment.

"Eight times." George said immediately.

"Ludo Bagman has lost a lot of Garon recently." Albert took out his pen from his pocket and began to make comments on the parchment, and said without looking up: "He is looking for the goblin in Gringotts. We borrowed a large amount of Kanon, and it is estimated that we will not pay it back."

"You mean..." George frowned deeply, apparently understanding what Albert meant. "Is he going to run the bill? No wonder I thought his reaction was a little strange."

"The fairies won't let Bagman fall back." Fred shook his head. "They are not house elves."

"No, you didn't understand Albert's meaning." George raised his hand and interrupted. "He meant that Bagman might use our Garon. Of course, there is also the Fairy Garon."

"Can you talk normally." Fred felt that he couldn't keep up with the thinking patterns of the two. He and George were obviously twins. Why could George understand but he didn't?

"The Irish team's mascot is the Leprechaun. They like to throw magic gold coins on the court after the performance." Albert said again.

"The Leprechaun's gold coins do look a lot like Garon. Do you think Bagman might fool us with the Leprechaun gold coins?" George frowned and considered a solution.

"As long as we check immediately after receiving the gold coins, we should not be easily fooled by Bagman." Although Fred has never seen the gold coins of the Leprechaun, he believes that Bagman can't be vigilant. Fool them.

"Lee Jordan's tent is nearby. You will drop by to find him later and tell him about this." Albert took a sip from his teacup and exhorted, "You haven't seen him yet. Family!"

"It seems that you have a rich harvest!" George couldn't help but sigh Albert's means of making money, "However, Bagman also deserves it."

After learning from Albert that Bagman would fool himself with fake gold coins, Fred and George's last sympathy for Bagman disappeared.

"His guy is a very good bet, and has lost too much Gallon. The fairies are destined to pay off the debt. In the end, he will probably choose to run." Albert reminded: "If you want to get the money, It has to be before he has any money, otherwise you don’t want to get a Nat from Bagman."

"It seems that the situation is worse than we thought." George murmured, "I will talk to Lee Jordan about this."

"So... see you tonight!"

Before leaving the tent, Fred suddenly turned around and asked: "By the way, you seem to be very optimistic about the magazine publication Black started?"

"Because people need it!" Albert said with a smile.

After the Weasley brothers left, Albert continued to flip through the parchment in his hand. For a moment, he seemed to think of something. He called the house elf bit over, took out a glass bottle from the deformed lizard skin bag and handed it to the house elf. The glass bottle was filled with black beads.

Albert lowered his voice and told the house-elf what to do tonight.

Bit looked uneasily at the glass bottle in his hand, but nodded his head to indicate that he would finish.

"Oh, yes, after watching the game tonight, we will leave here immediately. There is no need to clean up the tent, and just throw it here. Then you can just carry the suitcase and leave, and you have your hands. That thing is a gift left to the troubled black wizards. Remember to spread it out, so that no one will doubt us."

"I know the master." The house elf Bitter bowed slightly and went back to make preparations before leaving.

Albert put away the revised parchment and returned it to the box, and told Catherine and Valeria about leaving overnight tonight.

As for whether the two will leave with them, it is not something he can decide.

…

"After watching the game, shall we go home?"

Niya took Albert's hand and followed the crowd to walk in the forest. They had walked this road several times, and they knew the environment quite well.

"How about the third place, don't you watch it?" Katrina knew that Albert had tickets for the third place, and the price of first-class tickets was not cheap.

"I have already sold the tickets for the third place." Albert looked at the crowd in front of him and said calmly: "After tonight, there will probably be martial law."

"It seems that the situation is really bad. How did you know that something was going to happen tonight?" Valeria was very curious about the news that Albert got from there.

"Don't you know that he is a prophet?" Katrina muttered softly.

"Prophet?"

The two looked at Albert, "Are you sure it's not a bad divination."

After the silence of the short station, Catherine suddenly asked: "Did you cheat by prophecy during the Potions Championship?"

"Do you think I need to cheat?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"Prophecy is really unreasonable." Valeria looked at Albert with fiery eyes, no wonder Albert always guessed that the team would win.

This time the Quidditch World Cup, they won a lot of money by betting. Although they have to divide a part of someone, the gold coins they earned are still considerable.

"What did you predict?" Catherine asked.

"The flame, the dark wizard, and the dark mark." Albert said in a low voice.

"What is the Dark Mark?" Valeria and Catherine didn't understand Voldemort's mark.

In fact, today's young wizards don't know much about the Dark Mark.

No way. Compared with the first Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald, Voldemort’s reputation spread only in Europe, and most of his followers stay in the United Kingdom, unlike Grindelwald who has a wide range of supporters. Naturally, no one told Catherine and Valeria not to call Voldemort's name directly, let alone tell them what the Dark Mark is.

"I suggest you read the Daily Prophet tomorrow morning." Albert made a hush gesture, beckoning them not to talk about this topic here.

"Can't be mentioned?"

"British wizards are very taboo to talk about this. You will know it by reading the newspaper tomorrow."

After going to the top floor to separate, Albert several people entered the familiar box and found that there were already many acquaintances here.

Harry, Hermione, and Weasley are all in the same box at the same time. Fred and George waved to Albert vigorously. Harry was chatting with a house elf. Hermione didn’t know why. Looks very angry.

In the corner of the back row, there is a house elf who seems to be occupying a place for the owner, but Albert knows that Old Crouch will not be watching the finals, because the empty seat is actually for Little Crouch.

To be honest, Albert really wanted to sneak off the invisible cloak from the opponent and give the audience in the box an unexpected surprise. He was convinced that it would be more sensational than anyone who won the Quidditch World Cup, and that Fudge would definitely do it. Excitedly asked the Dementor to give little Crouch a kiss.

However, it is not the time yet. Little Crouch is still useful. Albert finally resisted it. If the people are lost, the panel task will not be able to be squeezed out later.

"What's the matter?" Isobel noticed Albert's mood changes.

"Nothing." Albert shook his head.

She didn't think it was nothing. Following Albert's sight just now, looking at the empty seat next to the house elf, she couldn't help frowning and thinking, but Isobel didn't intend to go further, and started talking to Katrina after sitting down.

At this time, the box began to enter again, and Minister of Magic Fudge led the Minister of Bulgaria into the room.

The two reached out their hands and gestured to each other, speaking to each other in a language that the other did not understand.

Well, at least Fudge does not understand Bulgarian, and the Bulgarian minister may not understand English.

Do not use English to communicate with Fudge, 80% of them use Fudge for fun.

Coming behind the two of them was the Malfoys, and Lucius Malfoy seemed to have some unpleasant exchanges with the Weasleys.

At least, after a few short chats, Mr. Weasley's expression was not natural.

The Bulgarian minister who was sitting in the front row was not having fun with Fudge, and chatted with Albert who was sitting behind them.

The expressions of the people in the box were weird, and Fudge was no exception, because he discovered that Albert was actually chatting with each other in a very smooth Bulgarian, and the two seemed to know each other and looked very familiar.

Having said that, does this guy have such a wide range of friends?

Do you even know the Bulgarian Minister of Magic? Those who didn't know thought you were pure blood.

Fudge suddenly understood why the British youth representative of Wiesengama turned into that last time.

"I should have asked you to translate for me just now. This sort of thing is usually handled by Barty Crouch. You should know Barty!"

"I have met several times." Albert looked at the new friend before him again and asked in fluent Bulgarian: "Mr. Obalonsk should understand English!"

"Understand, but I think it's more fun." The Bulgarian minister shrugged his shoulders, without being embarrassed at all. "Moreover, that guy thought I didn't understand English, so he didn't have much scruples when speaking. By the way, you Who do you think will win the championship tonight?"

"It's hard to say, but Ireland has a greater advantage. The Bulgarian team's championship point is on Krum. If Krum cannot catch the Golden Snitch before the gap between the scores of the two sides is completely opened, he will lose the chance to win the championship. "Albert told the truth, "Both parties should be very clear about this, and in the end it depends on who is more prepared and who has better luck."

"You're right."

The Bulgarian minister is naturally aware of the disadvantages of the Bulgarian team, but he does not think that the Bulgarian team has no hope of winning.

The game kicked off with Ludo’s shouts. After the Bulgarian team’s mascot Veeva entered the field, many men on the field still suffered “community deaths”. Harry and Ron had been prepared for it. When dancing, they closed their eyes and missed the move, but Fred and George were not so lucky. Even Percy was also shot.

For this reason, Draco Malfoy, who was sitting behind them, pointed at them, his face full of schadenfreude.

The mascots of the Irish team are more popular with everyone. The group of dwarfs wearing red vests and beards skimmed above their heads and combined into various fireworks. In the end, they formed a huge, shining clover. , Hovering over the audience's head and sprinkling a large amount of gold coins, the audience below are all clamoring for it.

"Don't they know that these gold coins will disappear?" Niya looked at the few dwarf gold coins in her hand, and she didn't understand the audience's mentality.

Moreover, after the gold coins rained in the sky, some people would think that the gold coins were real.

"Many people don't know." When Albert was speaking, he caught a glimpse of a hand that appeared out of nowhere and was taking the wand from Harry's pocket, and the house elf who had taken care of Little Crouch had been holding it with his hand. Face.

At this moment, the panel task was triggered. Although I didn't give much experience, it still made Albert happily raise the corners of his mouth. This was a good start.

Little Crouch, who had just gotten the wand, hadn't recovered from his excitement, shuddered suddenly, and could not help looking around. He just felt an inexplicable malice.

who is it?

Little Crouch looked around, but didn't find the person who disturbed him.

"Even if some people know the fakes, they still collect them enthusiastically. Everyone cares more about the lively atmosphere."

It is indeed the World Cup. The two national teams have shown great strength. Without testing each other, the game went into intense heat.

Especially the Irish team, they continued the American tactics, while suppressing Krum, are quickly grabbing points from the Bulgarian team.

As expected, the Irish team took the lead in scoring. The Irish fans on the court cheered frantically for the first goal.

The game is still going on, the Irish team's suppression tactics are better than that of the US team, which forces Krum to use Ronsky's fake moves to buy time for himself.

This time, he didn't fall to the ground, but Lin Qi, his opponent, was sturdy, giving him the opportunity to find the Golden Snitch without any interference.

"I think they are fighting for their lives, so don't they really worry about breaking their neck?" Niya is still a little uncomfortable seeing such a scene. If it is an ordinary person, she must have fallen to death.

"If you fall to death, you can only admit that you are unlucky."

Under the voice of the Irish team's supporters and the doctor's help, Lin Qi stood up again, mounted his firebolt, and returned to the court.

However, it is not difficult for Albert to see that Lin Qi is in very bad condition. The close contact with the ground just now caused him serious damage. The Irish team obviously realized this and accelerated the offensive against the Bulgarian team. The skill and ingenious cooperation quickly enabled them to quickly grab a large number of points from the Bulgarian team. Perhaps the Irish team did not expect Lin Qi to catch the Snitch from the beginning.

After the score was further opened up, the pressure on the Bulgarian players became very heavy, especially after the score increased to one hundred points, they had to adopt the same method of dealing with the US team again and violently broke the game, giving Krum a chance to catch the Golden Snitch. Chance.

The game began to become unscrupulous.

The degree of fierceness and intensity has never been seen before by any audience.

The batsmen on both sides were merciless, especially the Bulgarian batsmen. They launched a vicious wave of the stick in their hands. They didn’t care whether they hit the ball or a person at all. They just swaggered desperately. confusion.

Their seekers were equally fierce. In order to prevent the opponent from scoring, they rushed directly to the pursuit hand holding the ghost ball and almost fell the girl off the broom.

The veevas who had acted as spectators also began to help create chaos, fighting with the Irish dwarfs, and even in order to distract the referee, a Veeva lighted the referee's broom tail in the confusion.

In the chaos, Krum tried to repeat the same trick and break free from his opponent's suppression. However, the two Irish seekers are still keeping an eye on Krum, constantly using the roaming ball to cause trouble for him.

Free throws, free throws, or free throws.

The Bulgarian team paid the price for their tactics. They lost a lot of points, but Krum failed to catch the Snitch in a short time. He was injured because of the roaming ball, and the expression on his face was even more gloomy. NS.

"Bulgaria lost!" Albert looked at the scoreboard and said softly.

Because Ireland has led the Bulgarian team by 170 points.

However, many spectators did not notice this, their eyes were staring at the fierce stadium, and then they continued to protest with dissatisfaction, but they did not realize that the Irish team had actually won.

Krum was clearly aware of this.

They lost, and they still failed miserably.

Therefore, when he saw the Irish Seeker chasing the Snitch, he did not hesitate to speed up to chase it.

Krum did not step forward to hinder the opponent from catching the Golden Snitch, but to end the game. He knew he had to do this. UU看书www.uukanshu.com made the Bulgarian team a decent end. This is the only thing he can do now. thing.

After all, a slight difference in scores will make fans who support them feel that the Bulgarian team is just out of luck.

If you get beaten up and down, it will seriously hit the self-confidence of teammates and fans.

Both of them are speeding up and diving to chase the Snitch.

This time, Krum didn't hit the ground like last time, but Lin Qi, who was accelerating with him, hit the ground for the second time.

However, Krum, who caught the Golden Snitch, did not smile on his face. Instead, his face became more gloomy. He personally made the Bulgarian team lose the game.

"A very brave person." Niya commented.

"Krum is really brave, he let the Bulgarian team lose the game decently." Albert agreed with Niya's words.

"Yes, our young man played bravely." The Bulgarian minister glanced at Fudge's face and said in fluent English.

"What! You speak English?" Fudge glared at the Bulgarian Minister very annoyed. "But you let me make gestures here all day, like a fool!"

"Hey, that's fun." The Bulgarian minister shrugged his shoulders and stood up, moving towards the podium below.

At this moment, on everyone's heads, the dwarves began to shed a large amount of gold coins to celebrate Ireland's championship.

Fudge, who knew that he was being tricked, was annoyed. The Irish team won the Quidditch World Cup just now but he didn't cheer him up. Finally, with a stern face, I took the stage to present the championship to the championship team with an unhappy expression.

"Let's go, we should go back."

Before the awards were over, Albert greeted the others to leave, while Fred and George went to Ludo Bagman for money. They obviously did not forget what Albert said.
