Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 152 The World Cup Begins

In late January, Moriarty received a package from Nimbus and a letter from Lilith.

The package contained 12 shrunken nimbuses from the 1990s.

In the letter, Lilith explained the meaning of Nimbus 1990s.

1990 commemorates the 1990 Quidditch World Cup.

"S" is the abbreviation of Slytherin, used to commemorate Moriarty, the inventor of the new broom.

Then she described the negotiation process between her and Whitehorn in an understatement and in a few words, and inadvertently mentioned Whitehorn's attitude.

"Whitehorn is greedy, stupid, and petty.

My personal suggestion is, beware of him.

Especially when you are developing the next broomstick, be sure not to be discovered by him, he will definitely do something dirty - he is not a generous person, and he will not watch you subvert his Nimbus Company.

Finally, Moriarty.

I wish you good luck in the game and bring the Quidditch trophy back to Hogwarts."

Moriarty finished reading the letter and put it and the schedule into a notebook. Lilith successfully resolved the contract dispute and completed the task assigned to her by Moriarty.

In fact, Lilith guessed right, Moriarty just wanted to find a broom company to produce the Nimbus first in the 1990s.

The British team's use of Nimbus in the World Cup in the 1990s was the most important thing. As for how many galleons they earned, it became secondary.

Moriarty didn't say this explicitly, but Lilith thought of it, and they maintained a sufficient tacit understanding on this point.

Moriarty walked out of the room with a notebook and 12 Nimbus 1990s. He knocked on the door of Roman and others' room and led them to the runway.

After Moriarty enlarged the broom, he looked at his teammates and said, "One for each, come and get your new brooms."

Roman and the others started fighting noisily, like a gust of wind blowing, each holding a nimbus. 1990s.

A group of big boys seemed to have found their beloved toys. Without waiting for Moriarty's reminder, they eagerly got on the broomsticks, kicked off the ground with their feet, and shot out like arrows.

"Wow ah ah -"

Roman and the others obviously underestimated the speed of Nimbus 1990s and rushed into the blue sky unprepared. Their panicked screams were dragged far away by the wind!

The wizards from other countries on the runway looked at this scene with livid faces. They looked at the Nimbus 1990s speeding through the air, then looked at the Nimbus 1700 in their hands, and left angrily.

Moriarty also rode on the Nimbus 1990s and rushed towards the sky!

The moment he took off, the wizards who were watching felt a cold wind blowing against their faces. Several female fans were almost knocked down by the wind while posing with their slender waists!

The wizards raised their heads and their eyes kept moving as Moriarty flew. They were horrified to find that there was an afterimage of Moriarty in their eyes!

Moriarty used his loud voice on himself and shouted to Roman and others: "Clamp the broom and keep it steady! Then increase it to the maximum speed, let's train!"

Roman spent a lot of effort to maintain stability and started training according to Moriarty's instructions.

At the same time, the Nimbus Company discontinued its other brooms and only produced the Nimbus for the 1990s.

British wizards were surprised to discover that overnight, all the Nimbus Company's broomsticks turned into Nimbus 1990s!

The streamlined new broom immediately attracted the attention of wizards. The Nimbus 1990s has a smooth and shiny appearance, and the handle is made of mahogany.

The twigs at the end of the broom are long, straight and neat.

The most surprising thing is that there is a small silver snake on the top of the golden handle.

There is no doubt that that is the symbol of Slytherin!

The British wizards realized that the new broom was another alchemical prop created by Moriarty, and Nimbus Company revealed that Nimbus 1990s would appear with the British national team in the World Cup.

Nimbus Company firmly seized on the two points of alchemy props developed by Moriarty and the broom specially used by the British national team to promote it.

Wizards placed orders one after another, and the Nimbus 1990s was sold out, with demand exceeding supply.

Word spread that Team GB had new broomsticks, and without exception, 15 teams held an emergency meeting to discuss ways to deal with the Nimbus 1990s.

But by this time, the British team had completed their training with Nimbus 1990s and began deeper specialized training.

Time soon came to the first Wednesday in February, and the match between the British team and the French team began!

At 8:50 in the morning, the Heprose main stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, was packed, and the upper, middle and lower stands were filled with fans from all over the world.

The Delacour family was sitting in the French fans' camp. On Mrs. Delacour's lap sat a little girl like a porcelain doll. She had long silver-white hair and asked Delacour in a sweet voice.

Madam: "Mom? Where is my sister? Where has she gone?"

Mrs. Delacour glanced at the British fans in the stands opposite and saw Fleur sitting elegantly in the stands, holding a small silver-green flag in her hand.

The beautiful Hibiscus was the center of everything, but there was a large open space around her, and no one dared to approach her.

Mrs. Delacour and Mr. Delacour exchanged a look, and they knew exactly what their daughter was thinking.

"Gabriel," Mrs. Delacour picked up her little daughter on her lap and said softly, "My sister is cheering for his prince."

"Mom? Where is the prince?" Gabrielle asked, blinking her watery eyes.

"In..." Mrs. Delacour looked towards the playing field, and the British and French players just walked out of the locker room.

As they were walking on the way to the arena, Roman and Peru looked at each other in the air, their eyes fierce, wanting to eat each other alive.

But there was a hint of calmness hidden in Roman's eyes, and Nimbus 1990s brought him confidence.

Mrs. Delacour smiled slightly, pointed at Moriarty and said, "Look, the prince is there."

Gabrielle looked at the arena longingly. From her commanding position, the arena looked as flat and smooth as velvet.

There are three pitching rings on both sides of the field, fifty feet high. On the right side of the ring is a huge blackboard.

Gabrielle remembered that there used to be advertisements on the blackboard, but now they were gone. What was displayed was: UK: 0, France: 0.

"At nine o'clock, the game will start immediately." Mr. Delacour reminded his wife and daughter, his tone involuntarily becoming excited.

As if to confirm his words, the professional commentator from the Canadian Ministry of Magic pointed to his own throat and said: "The voice is loud!"

Then his words were like thunder, resounding throughout the packed stadium. His voice echoed above their heads and carried loudly to every corner of the stands.

"Ladies and gentlemen...welcome! Welcome to watch the 421st Quidditch World Cup!

The audience burst into cheers and applause.

Thousands of flags were waving at the same time, accompanied by the chaotic national anthem.

Fleur shook her little flag vigorously, which she had made stitch by stitch, with Moriarty's head and the Slytherin emblem on it.

What she regretted was that she couldn't let Moriarty see it. The scene was too chaotic, but it was very lively.

At this moment, the players on the field all raised their heads and looked up into the stands, feeling extremely excited, enjoying the charm of Quidditch with the fans and spectators.

The noise gradually subsided, and the audience sat down and prepared to watch the game.

The commentator said: "Now, ladies and gentlemen, please warmly welcome - the British national team! I would like to introduce to you - Captain Moriarty Slytherin!"

Moriarty rode the Nimbus and flew into the sky in the 1990s. The speed was so fast that it caused a burst of exclamations.

He sat on the broom, lowered his head and scanned the stands, and saw the British fans holding a huge flag. He saw a patch of green, which belonged to his fans, just like the eternal shining fan group.

He also saw Lotus.

"Ah, Moriarty Slytherin! I think you are familiar with this name, but most wizards don't know that Moriarty happens to be 13 years old this year!

Yes, he is the youngest captain in the history of the British team and is participating in the World Cup for the first time!"

Following the narrator's introduction, the audience picked up their panoramic telescopes and followed Moriarty.

"According to official information, Captain Slytherin has been serving as a seeker at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and has achieved a good record.

But in this game, on the player list submitted by Captain Slytherin, Roman is the seeker, so let us welcome this veteran of the British team - Roman!"

Roman also flew up, smiling and waving to the audience.

The commentary continued: "Yes, Roman is the Seeker, so there is one less Chaser. I am happy to tell you that the person who serves as the Chaser is none other than Captain Slytherin!"

Maybe this is his tactic? We don't know, let's welcome other players..."

Afro and others flew into the air one after another and came to their respective positions, with firm and excited eyes.

"Now, please welcome - the French team!" the commentator said loudly: "Captain Perroux! The French team's seeker! And..."

Seeing the French team players flying into the sky and returning to their respective positions, the commentator joked: "And our referee today flew all the way from Iceland, referee Daya! Without him, we can't start the game, right?

.”

A fat wizard wearing a solid golden robe that matched the colors of the stadium strode onto the field.

He was a little bald on the top of his head, but he had a big beard, and a silver whistle stuck out from under his beard.

He held a large wooden box under one arm and his broomstick under the other.

Then he stepped on his broomstick and kicked the wooden box away - four balls suddenly jumped into the air: the bright red Quaffle, the two black Bludgers, and the very small, long ball.

The golden snitch with wings.

With a "whoosh", the Golden Snitch flew away without a trace. Daya blew his whistle and followed the balls into the air.

"Ah!" the commentator shouted excitedly: "They set off! Roman and Peru rushed towards the Golden Snitch!"
