New Professor at Hogwarts

"This ending is indeed too dramatic!" Xia Ran applauded, "The Bulgarian seeker finally lost to the Irish team's chaser!"

"But he's very brave, isn't he?" Hermione leaned forward and watched Krum land on the ground. A large group of doctors on the field whistled to drive away the leprechauns and Veela who were still struggling together, asking them to Make a way for Krum.

"But he looks so miserable!"

"It's just no big problem," said Mr. Weasley.

Xia Ran looked down and saw the little leprechauns, the Irish team's mascots, walking ecstatically across the field, cheering loudly that they had won the world championship!

Krum's face became even more gloomy. He waved his hand and refused to let the doctor clean his wound. He simply wiped the blood. His teammates also landed next to him, shaking their heads and looking dejected. look.

Not far away, the players of the Irish team landed, dancing with joy, and their mascot threw countless gold coins to them, as if it was a golden rain.

Green flags were waved throughout the stadium and Ireland's national anthem blared from all directions, with many Ireland supporters singing along and singing loudly.

The Veela returned to their original beautiful appearance, but all of them looked sad and downcast.

"If you ask me, we still fought very bravely, even if we lost in the end." A heavy voice said in the top box. Xia Ran turned around and saw that it was the Minister of the Ministry of Magic of Bulgaria who was speaking.

"You speak English?!" Fudge said coldly, and then said in a very annoyed tone, "But you made me sign here all day long!"

"Hey, that's fun." The Bulgarian minister shrugged and said indifferently.

Xia Ran smiled slightly and turned away.

"Now, the members of the Irish team are walking around the field accompanied by their mascots, and the Quidditch World Cup trophy has been sent to the top box!" Ludo Bagman continued to say in his loud voice.

A dazzling bright light suddenly illuminated the top box, allowing all the spectators in the stands to see what was going on inside the box.

Xia Ran pointed her magic wand at her eyes and muttered a spell in a low voice. Suddenly, she felt that the bright light was no longer dazzling and returned to the normal intensity that the human eye could accept.

He saw two panting wizards carrying a large gold cup into the box, which was the Quidditch World Championship trophy.

When Cornelius Fudge received the trophy, he still looked very unhappy, because he had been gesticulating all day in vain, like a monkey, just to make the Bulgarians understand what he said.

"Let us applaud warmly and welcome the Bulgarian players to the stage despite their defeat!" Bagman shouted.

The seven defeated Bulgarian players went upstairs and entered the box. The audience below applauded and cheered - even the supporters of the Irish team were no exception. Bulgaria is indeed a respectable opponent - to express their appreciation.

The lenses of countless panoramic telescopes flashed towards the top balcony, almost blinding people's eyes.

One by one, the Bulgarian team members walked into the two rows of seats in the box and took turns shaking hands with their ministers and Fudge. Bagman shouted out everyone's name, and the audience burst into cheers, especially the Bulgarian Seeker Wei. But when Dole Krum came, the cheers were especially loud.

Krum still looked embarrassed, with two dark circles under his eyes standing out on his blood-stained face. He still held the Golden Snitch tightly in his hand, with only a glimmer of golden light showing through.

Xia Ran noticed - many people noticed - that once he landed on the ground, his movements did not look as coordinated as they did in the sky. His legs were a bit splayed out, and his shoulders were obviously bent forward. , but when Bagman revealed Krum's name, the entire stadium - no matter which team's supporters they were - gave him extremely warm and deafening cheers!

Next on the stage were the members of the Irish team, who were the champions of this Quidditch World Cup!

Seeker Aidan Linzi looked dazed, his eyes were scattered, and he looked extremely confused, but when Troy and Quigley raised the trophy high, the audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers, Lin Qi also grinned.

Finally, the Irish team left the box, mounted their broomsticks and Firebolts again, and began flying around the field to greet the cheers of the audience.

At this moment, Ludo Bagman pointed his wand at his throat and whispered, "Whisper."

It’s the counter-curse of “loud voice.”

"This game is so exciting and dramatic. It will be talked about for many years until the next Quidditch World Cup!" Bagman said with a slightly hoarse voice, as if the long-term commentator job was still there. It had an impact on him, "In the end, it was Bulgaria's Viktor Krum who caught the Golden Snitch. Who would have thought? It's a pity that the game didn't last longer. It would have been best if it could have lasted three to five hours. It couldn't be better! Ah, by the way, yes, I should give you...well, how many gold coins?"

Fred and George had rolled over the backs of their chairs and were standing in front of Ludo Bagman.

The twin brothers smiled happily and held out their open palms.

They won this bet.

Not long after, Xia Ran and the others left the top-level box and walked out of the Quidditch World Cup match. An unknown number of wizards also came out, with different expressions.

"Don't tell your mother about your gambling." Mr. Weasley said as he walked away, looking at the twin brothers.

"Don't worry, Dad." Fred said happily, "We have many grand plans for this money, and we don't want it to be confiscated by Mom."

Mr. Weasley seemed to hesitate for a moment, probably wanting to ask what their grand plan was, but then he thought about it and seemed to think it was better not to ask.

Xia Ran looked around and didn't see Lupine or Sirius, but nothing happened during the game. Maybe Voldemort didn't have any conspiracy against this Quidditch World Cup.

"There should be nothing wrong." Bill said softly.

"Okay, let's go back first. There are too many people here." Xia Ran said as she turned to look at the tide of people returning to the camp from the stadium.

Soon, the crowd surrounded them, and as they walked back along the lantern-lit passage, rough singing came from the night sky, and the leprechauns kept flying above everyone's heads. They were flying around, waving the lanterns in their hands, and laughing.

Finally, they finally reached the tent. Because the surroundings were too noisy, Mr. Weasley suggested that everyone drink a glass of chocolate milk before entering the tent.

"Arthur, can you give us a drink? I haven't watched such a wonderful game, so I still need a glass of chocolate milk." A familiar man's voice sounded.

Xia Ran and the others turned around and saw that "Mad-Eye" Moody, Lupin, Sirius, and Mundungus walked out of the shadows of the woods, hid their wands, and arrived at the Weasley family's tent. edge.
