Old Blood at Hogwarts

In order not to miss the wonderful scene again, Aaron adjusted the speed knob on the panoramic telescope back to normal speed, and the game continued.

The Irish team's chasers worked together flawlessly, and their movements were very coordinated, as if they could read each other's thoughts.

The rose-shaped badge on Aaron's chest kept screaming their names: "Troy... Mallet... Moran!"

Within 10 minutes, Ireland scored two more goals, rewriting the score to 30:0, causing overwhelming cheers and applause from the supporters in green.

The competition became more intense and more brutal.Bulgaria's batsmen Volkov and Volkanov used their strength to hit the Bludgers towards the Irish Chasers in an attempt to stop their attack.Twice they were forced to disperse.Finally, Ivanov finally broke through the Irish lineup, evaded goalkeeper Ryan and scored the first goal for Bulgaria.

"Put your fingers in your ears!" Mr. Weasley shouted when he saw the Veela starting to dance in celebration.

In order to prevent himself from making a fool of himself again, Aaron not only blocked his ears, but even closed his eyes.After a few seconds, he risked a glance toward the arena.The Veela had stopped dancing, and the Quaffle was in the Bulgarian team's hands again.

"Dimitrov! Levsky! Dimitrov! Ivanova! Oh, my God!" said Bagman in a loud, booming voice.

A hundred thousand wizards held their breath and watched the two Seekers - Krum and Linzy - falling rapidly among the Chasers.They were moving very fast, as if they had jumped out of an airplane without a parachute.Aaron followed their fall through the panoramic telescope, squinting for the Snitch.

"They're going to fall to the ground!" Hermione next to Aaron screamed.

She was only half right.At the last second, Viktor Krum stopped his dive, rose again, and circled away.Lin Qi fell heavily to the ground with a "bang" that could be heard in the entire gymnasium.There were laments from the seats in the Irish audience.

"Fool!" complained Mr. Weasley, "Krum is faking!"

"The game is suspended," Mr. Bagman yelled, "and a highly trained on-field doctor rushes onto the field to examine Aidan Linzi's injury."

"He's fine, he just used too much force!" Charlie comforted Ginny, "Of course, this is exactly what Klum wanted to achieve..."

Ginny had moved to the side of the box, a look of horror on her face.

Aaron hurriedly pressed the replay and game analysis buttons on the panoramic telescope, adjusted the speed dial, and then put the telescope back on his eyes.

He watched as Krum and Linzi swooped down again in slow motion.A line of glowing purple text flashed across his lens: Wonsky Feint - Containing the Dangerous Seeker.

He saw that when Krum stopped diving in time and Lin Qi fell heavily to the ground, Klum was very focused and his facial muscles were tense. Then Aaron understood that Klum did not see the golden color at all. Snitch, he just wanted Lin Qi to imitate him.Aaron had never seen anyone fly like that. Krum looked as if he was not using a broomstick at all. He was flying freely in the air, as if he didn't need to rely on anything at all, and was as light as a feather.

Aaron adjusted the panoramic telescope to normal speed and pointed the lens at Krum.The doctor on the field was feeding Lin Qi some drinks. Lin Qi slowly regained his strength. Klum was circling on Lin Qi's head.Aaron looked more closely at Krum's face and saw his dark eyes scanning the field a hundred feet below.He was taking advantage of Lin Qi's recovery time to search for the Golden Snitch without any interference.

Finally, Lin Qi stood up.Amid loud cheers from his green-clad supporters, he mounted his Firebolt, kicked off his foot, and leapt into the air.His recovery appears to have given Ireland a newfound confidence.When Mustafa blew the whistle again, the chasers quickly organized their attack. Their skills were so superb that Aaron had never seen them before.

After another tense and intense 15 minutes, the Irish team scored ten more goals in succession.They were now leading 130:10, and the game started to become unscrupulous.

As Mallet headed toward the goal post again with the Quaffle under her arm, Bulgaria's goalkeeper Zoglav flew out to meet her.Everything happened so fast that Harry didn't see it clearly, but there was an angry shout from the Irish audience and Mustafa blew a long, piercing whistle, and he realized that there had been a foul.

"Mustafa scolded the Bulgarian goalkeeper for hitting someone - too much elbow movement!" Bagman said to the noisy audience, "Ah - yes, the Irish team took a penalty!"

Just now, after Mallet was charged by the opposing goalkeeper, the leprechauns had risen angrily into the air like a swarm of shiny bumblebees, and now they quickly formed a "Ha! Ha! Ha!" together.The Veela across the arena jumped up, tossing their hair angrily, and started dancing again.

Aaron, Harry and the Weasley boys all blocked their ears with their fingers, but this time Aaron didn't close his eyes to prevent missing the free throw.Then he saw a very interesting scene.I saw Hassan Mustafa landing in front of the dancing Veela, flexing and stretching his limbs, showing off his muscles, and stroking his beard excitedly.

"Oh, that's not okay!" Ludo Bagman said, but listening to his tone, he also found it very interesting, "Who goes up and slaps the referee!"

A doctor on the field plugged his ears with his fingers, rushed into the field, and kicked Mustafa hard in the calf.Mustafa seemed to come to his senses.Aaron raised the panoramic telescope again, and he saw Mustafa looking particularly embarrassed and yelling at the Veela.The Veelas stopped dancing and looked very unconvinced.

"Maybe I made a mistake. Mustafa actually wants to send Bulgaria's mascot home!" Bagman's voice said, "Oh, we have never seen such a scene... Oh, the game may change. It’s so uncivilized…”

Indeed, the Bulgarian batsmen Volkov and Volkanov landed on either side of Mustafa and began angrily arguing with him and gesticulating at the leprechauns.The leprechauns now happily formed the words "Hey! Hey! Hey!"However, Mustafa was indifferent to the protests of the Bulgarian players.He raised a finger in the air, apparently telling them to take off again.When they refused, he whistled twice.

"Two free throws for Ireland!" shouted Bagman.

The Bulgarian audience roared angrily.

"Volkov and Volkanov had better get on the broomstick." Bagman continued, "Okay... they got on it... Troy got the Quaffle..."

The game became more and more fierce and intense, and the batsmen on both sides showed no mercy, especially Volkov and Volkanov. They didn't care whether the sticks in their hands hit the ball or the person, they just hit the ball as hard as they could. Swing around and hit.Dimitrov rushed straight towards Moran who was holding the Quaffle, knocking her almost off her broom.

"Foul!" the Irish supporters shouted in unison.They all stood up and formed a huge green wave.

"Foul!" Ludo Bagman's magically amplified voice repeated these two words, "Dimirov hit Moran... deliberately flew over and collided... will definitely be awarded a penalty kick. Yes, the referee blew the whistle!”

The leprechauns all rose into the air again, this time forming a giant hand and making a very rude gesture towards the Veela across the field.The Veela saw it and immediately lost control.Instead of dancing this time, they flew across the arena and began throwing handfuls of flaming objects at the leprechauns.

Aaron looked through the telescope and saw that they were no longer beautiful at all.Their faces elongated and turned into pointed bird heads with sharp beaks, and a pair of long, scale-covered wings emerged from their shoulders...

"Understood, kids." Mr. Weasley's voice rose above the noise of the crowd below, "You can never just pursue appearances!"

Staff from the Ministry of Magic rushed into the arena and tried to separate the Veela and the leprechaun, but with little success.At this moment, the fierce battle below was in no way comparable to the game above. The Quaffle was passed from one person's hand to another like a bullet.

"Lefsky! Dimitrov! Moran! Troy! Mallet! Ivanova! Moran again! Moran... Moran scored!"

But the field was filled with the screams of Veela, the popping of wands, and the angry roars of the Bulgarians, and the cheers of the Irish supporters could hardly be heard.

The game immediately resumed, and now it was Livers who had the Quaffle, and then Dimitrov...

Quigley, the Irish team's batter, used all his strength to hit a flying Bludger at Crum. Crum was unable to dodge and was hit head-on by the Bludger.

There was a deafening roar of complaints from the audience.Krum's nose seemed to be broken and blood was everywhere, but Hassan Mustafa did not blow the whistle.He lost concentration, but Aaron couldn't blame him, because a Veela threw a fire at him, lighting his broom tail on fire.

"Timeout!" Ron shouted from the side, "Hurry up, timeout, he can't compete anymore like that. Look at him..."

"Look at Lin Qi!" Harry suddenly shouted.

I saw the Irish Seeker suddenly dive downwards...

"He's seen the Snitch!" Harry shouted. "He's seen it! Look at him!"

At this point, half the audience realized what was going on.The Irish supporters rose to their feet again, sending another green wave screaming to cheer on their Seekers.But Krum followed closely behind him and saw blood splashing in the air behind him. He had already caught up with Lin Qi and was parallel to him.The two dived towards the ground again...

"They're going to fall to the ground!" Hermione screamed.

"No!" shouted Ron.

"Lin Qi will do it!" Harry shouted.

Harry was right, Lin Qi fell heavily to the ground for the second time, and a group of angry Veela immediately surrounded him like swarms of swarms.

"Where is the Golden Snitch? Where is the Golden Snitch?" Charlie sitting over there shouted.

"He's got it... Krum's got it... Game over!" Harry yelled.
