Chapter 426 Mascot
As Ludo Bagman's passionate voice sounded, the audience burst into cheers and applause. Thousands of flags were waving at the same time, accompanied by the chaotic national anthem, the scene was really lively.
The blackboard with advertisements above the court also turned into a scoreboard, which now showed: Bulgaria: 0, Ireland: 0.
"Okay, no more small talk, please allow me to introduce... the mascot of the Bulgarian national team!"
On the right side of the stands was a neat bright red square, and loud cheers broke out at this moment.
Everyone looked curiously at the exit of the passage below the right side of the audience seats, and Fish was no exception. The various interesting creatures that Professor McGonagall had just mentioned had completely aroused the curiosity of the cat.
Then he saw a hundred women with long silver hair sliding out of the passage. Their skin was as bright and soft as the moon, and their silver hair moved without wind. After floating around the court, they came to the center and began to dance to the music.
"Minerva, where are the magical animals? Why did they meow only a group of big sisters?"
(ˇˇ)
Fish looked at Professor McGonagall with dissatisfaction, thinking that she was fooling him again.
"Huh?" Professor McGonagall looked at Fish, who had no reaction, in surprise, but soon felt relieved. It was normal that her kittens would not be affected by the Veela.
"They are a kind of magical creatures," Professor McGonagall explained to Fish with a smile: "You should have heard of them. They are Veela."
"Veela!"
∑(ΦДΦ)
Fish had of course heard of this name. Dumbledore and Newt had guessed that he might have the bloodline of Veela. For this reason, Fish had specially learned about Veela...
Mao Mao looked at the 100 silver-haired big sisters still dancing in the field in surprise. Their appearance seemed to match what he knew. Then he looked around and found that Rolf and Luna's father, as well as all the men in the field, looked like they saw food after being hungry for more than ten days.
Fish even saw someone with one leg on the side of the stands, as if he was going to jump down... Well, that person should be Harry, and the one next to him who was making a gesture as if he was about to dive from the diving board should be Ron.
"Fish will never let anyone become like this, meow!"
(`ω)
Mao Mao protested to Professor McGonagall angrily, and then he recalled his experience when he was surrounded by a group of girls...
"Shouldn't...meow?"
He looked at Hermione and Luna on the side uncertainly.
Luna was struggling to hold her father's arm at this time, not letting Mr. Lovegood continue to mess with her cotton candy-like white hair... He seemed to want to make his hair into a broom shape.
Hermione saw that Fish was not affected by the Veela like other men, and her pride was beyond words. She hugged Fish and kissed him hard on the face.
The attacked Mao Mao touched his cheek, and then kissed him back decisively.

When he played the kissing game with Hermione, he never lost!
In the end, it was Professor McGonagall who couldn't stand it anymore and stopped their behavior. Then Hermione realized what she had just done in public. If most people hadn't been attracted by the Veela, she would have even wanted to escape from the stadium.
At this time, the music stopped, and the Veela stopped dancing and lined up on one side of the stadium.
The stadium was full of angry roars. Most men didn't want the Veela to leave. They wanted to see the Veela continue to dance. Some men who originally supported the Irish team were even tearing off their cheering materials quickly. They were influenced by the Veela and only wanted to support the Bulgarian team.
Only some men gradually recovered, but they all looked dazed, just like Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood next to him. He was pushed back to his seat by Luna and ignored his messy hair.
Fish was also very dissatisfied with this group of Veela...
"Didn't they say they would turn into a strange bird? Why didn't Meow perform?"
(`ω)
The cat protested angrily, and then looked at Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall twitched her lips, not knowing how to explain this to him.
Fortunately, soon, Ludo Bagman's voice sounded again: "Now, please raise your wands to the air... Welcome the mascot of the Irish national team!"
Then, with a whoosh, a huge green and gold object flew into the stadium, like a big comet. It flew around the stadium, then split into two smaller comets, each rushing towards a set of goal posts. An arched rainbow suddenly appeared on the entire field, connecting the two shining big balls.
This beautiful scene instantly attracted Fish's attention, and the people who were still obsessed with the Veela also came back to their senses and exclaimed.
With his excellent eyesight, he could easily see what was in the light ball - it was a group of green-skinned little men wearing red vests and mustaches. Each of them was holding a small golden or green lamp, and it was these lights that made up the two huge light balls on the doorposts.
At this time, the rainbow disappeared, and the shining balls connected and blended with each other, forming a huge, dazzling clover, rising high into the air and starting to hover above the stands.
The little man in the clover began to throw gold coins down, landing on the heads and seats of the audience.
"It's gold galleons, meow!"
(≧≦)
The cat cheered excitedly, and then scrambled for the gold coins like most people... He still remembered to save money to buy a Firebolt for Professor McGonagall.
However, after Fish received a handful of gold coins, he suddenly found that Professor McGonagall and Hermione did not make any moves, and Luna just picked up a few gold coins that fell beside her casually.
"Why don't you pick them up? Gold galleons can buy a lot of things."
ω
Fish asked in confusion, tilting his head.
"These are Irish leprechauns. The gold coins they make can only exist for a few hours. They can't buy anything."
Professor McGonagall patiently explained to Fish.
"Damn, they are a bunch of liars!"
(`Д)
Fisch threw the gold coins in his hand to the ground, folded his hands and sat back in his seat, sulking.
The wizards who were also fighting for the gold coins heard what Professor McGonagall said, stopped their actions, and sat back with a wry smile.
Rolf was very embarrassed. His grandfather was an expert in magical animals, but he still fell into the trap of these two magical animals... He was bragging to Luna before, saying that his family had a deep knowledge of magical animals and he was an expert in dealing with magical animals.
The boy carefully glanced at Luna beside him and found that she still looked like she didn't care about anything and didn't notice his embarrassment. Rolf was relieved in his heart, but also a little disappointed.
The mascots of both sides of the game had finished their performances, and it was the turn of the teams on both sides to enter the field.
However, for Fish, the most interesting part has passed. If it weren't for the cheers of the audience and Bagman's commentary, he would even want to turn back into a cat, jump into Professor McGonagall or Hermione's arms, and have a good sleep.
Anyway, he was free, so Fish could only follow Professor McGonagall and watch the game he didn't like very much.

The 422nd World Cup is the content of the original text. According to the four-year period, the Quidditch World Cup started in 306 AD.
According to the setting in "Magical Quidditch", the origin of Quidditch began in the 11th century, and the general process of the entire game was determined in 1269. Then, it was finely adjusted in the middle. In 1883, the game mode was completely finalized and no longer changed.
And it is also clearly written in this book that the first World Cup was reported in 1473, and the rule of four years was set at that time.
Only in the 1877 World Cup, all the participants and spectators lost their memory, so it was held again in 1878.
So even if we include the 1877 World Cup that no one remembers, there are only 131 World Cups in total...
But you should get used to Rowling's math.
