00:00Welcome to the Dream Novel channel before starting to listen to the fun in this clip.
00:13Don't forget to like and comment. So that the admin will have the encouragement to continue
00:18making clips. Let's go listen. Hogwarts. I am such a model wizard.
00:25Chapter 461, Fudge's concerns over the next half hour, the top box where they were sitting
00:32gradually filled up. Mr. Weasley kept shaking hands with people who were clearly very important
00:38wizards, while Percy kept springing up from his seat repeatedly, as though his stool had suddenly
00:44sprouted a row of porcupine quills. The last person to enter was Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic,
00:50and everyone stood up to greet him. But Fudge did something unexpected. He strode over to the
00:57front row as if he'd spotted an old friend and extended his hand warmly from a distance.
01:03Percy looked ecstatic. With the adults on the other side and only a few children around,
01:08he felt distinctly important. Bill and Charlie were abroad, the others still attended Hogwarts,
01:14and he was the only one working at the Ministry of Magic. Could it be? Percy's heart began to race
01:21wildly, and he bowed, subconsciously extending his hand. He bent over too far, and his glasses slipped,
01:29tumbling to the ground. But in the next moment, Fudge walked right past him, as if Percy were nothing
01:35more than a roadside statue or a telephone booth, without even sparing him a glance.
01:40Oh, Kyle! So glad to see you here, Fudge exclaimed. He casually placed a hand on Kyle's shoulder and
01:49gave it a firm pat, his tone much warmer than he'd used with others. How was your holiday? He asked
01:55kindly. Great, Kyle replied, catching his breath. The Quidditch World Cup was very exciting. Yes,
02:04I even reserved tickets for you, but Arthur got there first, Fudge chuckled, casting a playful
02:10look at Mr. Weasley. Mr. Weasley managed a stiff smile, feeling caught off guard. He had indeed
02:17mentioned Kyle's name when asking Ludo Bagman for the tickets, but Bagman hadn't said anything about
02:22it. But anyway, Fudge continued, I was waiting all holiday for Albus's owl, and you didn't write me a
02:29single letter. Do you know what he's been up to lately? And that potion. You know the one I mean,
02:36the one that can turn that rat back. Potion. Kyle quickly understood that Fudge was referring to the
02:43Mandrake restorative draft, which could restore Peter Pettigrew's inimigous form. No wonder Fudge
02:49was so enthusiastic. With the Quidditch World Cup, Crouch's international reputation had skyrocketed,
02:56and it seemed that Fudge was feeling a bit threatened. Don't worry, Mr. Minister,
03:01Kyle replied with a smile as he pieced it together. As far as I know, the Mandrake restorative draft was
03:08brewed a month ago, and there's plenty of it. It's all been used on the rat, so there shouldn't be any
03:14issues. I'm relieved to hear that. Albus has never let me down, said Fudge, though his expression
03:21quickly hardened. But you should have kept me informed. I thought I made it clear that the
03:27ministry would do everything it could to assist you in this matter. Perhaps Professor Dumbledore
03:32didn't want to trouble you, Kyle suggested. It's no small feat to organize an event for a hundred
03:38thousand wizards. Albus is quite something, Fudge muttered, pretending to be annoyed. True, things have
03:45been rather chaotic, but I've been setting time aside for him, even cancelling several important
03:50meetings to wait for his owl. Meetings? More like parties, Kyle thought, though he kept his expression
03:57neutral and joined Fudge in lightly criticizing Dumbledore's distant attitude, which seemed to put
04:03Fudge in an even better mood. Then Fudge introduced Kyle to the Bulgarian Minister of Magic, who was nearby
04:09in an elaborate velvet robe trimmed with gold. Unfortunately, the Bulgarian minister didn't
04:15appear to understand a word Fudge was saying, even as Fudge used hand gestures to emphasize
04:20youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin. However, the Bulgarian minister's gaze eventually fell on
04:27Harry's forehead, and his eyes lit up as he pointed excitedly at Harry's scar, muttering rapidly in his
04:32native language. Oh yes, Harry Potter. Fudge said, moving over to shake Harry's hand warmly, almost like
04:40a proud father. You know, he's the boy who survived you-know-who's attack. The Bulgarian minister said
04:47something else in his language, leaving everyone baffled, and Harry felt utterly bewildered, unsure why
04:53he had been pulled over at all. I'm not very good with languages, Fudge whispered to Harry and Kyle.
04:59Usually in these situations, you'd have Barty Crouch to help. But he's not here right now, though I see
05:07his house-elf has saved his seat. Thoughtful of him. Ah, here comes Lucius. At that moment, three more
05:15people entered the box, Lucius Malfoy, his son Draco, and a woman. Minister Fudge, Lucius greeted, coming
05:23forward and extending his hand. This is my wife, Narcissa, and our son, Draco. Hello, Fudge replied,
05:32smiling and nodding toward Mrs. Malfoy, then introducing them to the Bulgarian minister of
05:37magic. However, the language barrier made the interaction a bit awkward, as the two could not
05:43understand each other. Lucius then noticed Mr. Weasley nearby and, as though seeing something absurd,
05:49sneered, well, Arthur, what did you have to sell to secure seats in the top box? Surely your limited
05:56means couldn't cover this. I nearly forgot, you two know each other, Fudge said cheerfully.
06:03Lucius recently made a substantial donation to St. Mungo's Hospital for magical maladies and injuries,
06:09Arthur. He's my guest of honor. Oh, that's wonderful, Mr. Weasley replied, barely concealing
06:16his distaste. Lucius's gaze then drifted to Hermione, and he whispered something to Narcissa.
06:23Mrs. Malfoy instantly looked disgusted, as though she'd caught a whiff of something foul.
06:29Her reaction mirrored her earlier disdain when she had seen Winky, as if Hermione, being muggle-born,
06:35was on the same level as a house-elf. However, in the presence of the minister of magic,
06:40neither Malfoy dared say anything inappropriate, and they took their seats in silence.
06:44Draco made a half-hearted attempt to greet Kyle, but Narcissa quickly pulled him back,
06:50while Lucius looked unapprovingly. What a nuisance, Ron muttered as he, Harry,
06:56and Hermione turned back to the arena, diverting their attention with their newly bought omnioculars
07:01to study the crowd across the stadium. Then Ludo Bagman burst into the box, his round face beaming
07:07like a giant ball of cheese. Is everyone ready, he asked. Minister, shall we begin?
07:15Whenever you're ready, Ludo, Fudge said eagerly. I'm looking forward to a good match.
07:22You won't be disappointed, Ludo replied, drawing his wand and pointing it at his throat.
07:27Sonorous, he intoned, and his voice boomed across the stadium, echoing off the packed stands.
07:33For a moment, his amplified voice filled the entire stadium.
07:38Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Hogwarts. I am such a model wizard.
07:45Chapter 462, Vilas and the Gold Coins
07:48As Ludo Bagman's voice echoed to every corner of the stadium, the crowd erupted into cheers and
07:53applause, with thousands of flags waving in unison, creating a vibrant, electrifying atmosphere.
07:59Kyle barely paid attention to Bagman's well-worn opening speech, his eyes drifting back toward
08:05Winky, the house elf. The top box was now fully occupied, except for the seat beside her, which
08:12was still empty. He had checked it earlier, and it had been just an empty seat. Could Winky have
08:18saved it for Barty Crouch? But if that were true, where was he now, with the match about to start?
08:24It didn't seem like Barty Crouch to hold a reserved seat and not show up. Could he really
08:30be capable of such an oversight? Oh. A thunderous cheer came from the right side of the stadium,
08:37drawing everyone's attention. Kyle turned his gaze back to the field.
08:43Please allow me to introduce, the mascot of the Bulgarian national team.
08:48Ludo's voice boomed. Mr. Weasley craned his neck in curiosity.
08:52I wonder what they've brought, ah, velas. What are VE?
08:58Harry began, but his question trailed off as a hundred velas glided onto the field.
09:04The moment he saw them, he fell silent. They were breathtaking, their skin glowing softly like
09:10moonlight, with their long hair flowing behind them as if lifted by an unseen breeze.
09:16Harry's gaze went hazy. He had wanted to keep his composure, hoping to appear mature in front of
09:22Joe, but that resolve vanished. As the music began and the velas started to dance, his mind went
09:28completely blank. Their movements grew faster and more entrancing, and, without realizing it,
09:35Harry stood up, threw one leg over the partition wall, as if preparing to leap.
09:40Hermione, unable to stand it any longer, shouted, Harry, what are you doing?
09:45Just then, the music stopped. Harry snapped back to his senses, suddenly aware of his leg draped over
09:52the wall. Realizing what he'd almost done, he heard the girls behind him laughing. Their laughter felt
09:59like a dozen bludgers, striking him repeatedly. Shame flooded over him, and his face turned crimson,
10:06so much so he felt like leaping off for real just to escape the embarrassment.
10:09Hermione made a loud, exasperated sking sound, though she didn't mock him, there was no need.
10:17All around, others had been equally captivated. Beside Harry, Ron stood on his seat with his arms
10:24outstretched as though he were about to dive. Fred and George clung to each other, appearing as if they
10:30were in the middle of a dance. Even Cedric seemed affected, flexing his muscles as though putting on a
10:36show, his face pale as a ghost. Cho, watching Cedric's antics, looked away, scoffing softly.
10:44Kyle was wide-eyed, mesmerized by the velas. Hermione let out another TSK, feeling a pang of
10:51disappointment. She had thought Kyle might be different, unaffected like Mr. Weasley, Bill,
10:57and Charlie had been. Only Kanna seemed to notice something unusual, casting Kyle a suspicious
11:04glance. She remembered seeing this same expression on his face when he'd first encountered the dragon
11:09Norbert, and again when they'd visited the Forbidden Forest to observe the mooncalfs.
11:15As the music died down and the velas left the field, the stadium echoed with angry shouts from the crowd,
11:21begging for more. Mr. Weasley helped Harry back into his seat, where he tried to curl up,
11:26hoping to disappear. Malfoy's mocking laughter rang out behind him, but Harry barely registered it.
11:33All he noticed was the look of disappointment on Cho's face. Was she disappointed in him?
11:40He wasn't sure, but if he could, he wished he were somewhere else in the stands,
11:44anywhere but here, where he felt so exposed. Meanwhile, Ron, Fred, and George were still
11:51swept up in the excitement, hooting along with the crowd, desperately calling for the velas to
11:56return. There's a match coming up, Mr. Weasley reminded them, patting Ron on the shoulder.
12:03And believe me, it's much better than the velas. Hmm. Ron muttered, barely paying attention,
12:10his eyes still fixed on the velas as they lined up on one side of the pitch.
12:15And now.
12:16Ludo Bagman's voice boomed like a great bell.
12:19Please raise your wands into the air, and welcome the mascot of the Irish national team.
12:25With a sudden whoosh, something that looked like a blazing comet shot into the stadium.
12:30It circled the pitch, then dispersed into a glowing, enormous shamrock that soared high above.
12:37The crowd erupted in a collective, wow, of awe.
12:40Moments later, a golden rain began to fall from above.
12:45Fantastic.
12:47Ron exclaimed, immediately forgetting about the velas as he whipped off his hat to catch the
12:51falling coins.
12:53Kyle looked up at the giant, clover, made up of countless tiny figures, each one dressed in
12:58a red vest with a mustache and holding a green or gold lantern.
13:03They were Irish leprechauns, about the size of Cornish pixies but much cleverer and unique
13:07to Ireland.
13:10Kyle couldn't help but grin.
13:11If it had been any other mascot, it would have been hard to compete with the velas' allure.
13:17But now, people were no longer chanting for the velas to return, instead, they were cheering,
13:22diving under seats, and scrambling to catch the golden coins.
13:26Are these real?
13:28Kanna asked, examining a coin she'd caught.
13:32Of course not, the Irish aren't that generous, Kyle chuckled.
13:37It's leprechaun gold, it'll disappear in a few hours.
13:41So it's worthless.
13:42Kanna asked, a bit disappointed.
13:45Pretty much, but it's an incredible effect.
13:49Where else do you see a golden rain like this?
13:52Kyle said, waving his wand to gather up the coins around him, thinking he'd let his niffler
13:57play with them later.
13:59A few minutes later, the giant shamrock dissolved, and the leprechauns floated down to the field,
14:05rolling opposite the velas and sitting cross-legged to watch the match.
14:09And now, ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to the Bulgarian national Quidditch
14:14team.
14:15Ludo's voice echoed.
14:17I present to you.
14:19Dimitrov.
14:20A figure in red shot through the entrance and sped into the stadium, flying so fast
14:25that Harry had to slow his omnioculars three times to catch a proper look.
14:29Eva Nova.
14:31A second red-clad figure joined him, then a third.
14:35Bagman announced each player's name, and the applause from the stands was continuous, surging
14:40louder with each new player.
14:42And now, last but not least.
14:45Crum.
14:46The stadium seemed to explode with sound.
14:51Deafening cheers and shouts filled the air, ringing in everyone's ears, and even Irish
14:55supporters joined him.
14:57Kyle looked over, studying Victor Crum.
15:01The seeker was dark-haired and thin, with a large hooked nose and thick, bushy eyebrows
15:06that made him resemble a fierce eagle.
15:09His expression was perpetually grim, making him look closer to thirty than a student yet
15:13to graduate.
15:14Then, the Irish national Quidditch team took to the field, welcomed by another round of
15:20enthusiastic applause.
15:22Though their star chaser, Moran, couldn't quite match the thunderous cheers for Crum, he still
15:27received plenty of support.
15:29The two teams flew on their broomsticks, each side eyeing the other with intense focus, ready
15:34for the match to begin.
15:37Hogwarts.
15:38I am such a model wizard.
15:41Chapter 463.
15:43This ticket was worth every canute after introducing the players, Ludo Bagman turned to announce
15:47the match referee, the president of the International Association of Quidditch, a short, wiry wizard.
15:54Amidst loud cheers, he strode onto the pitch, a large wooden case clutched under his arm.
16:01As he took his position, the crowd fell silent, holding their breath.
16:05The referee mounted his broomstick, nudged the case open with his foot, and with the blow
16:10of his whistle, the match began.
16:13They're off.
16:14Bagman's voice boomed.
16:16Mullet with the quaffle.
16:19Passing to Troy.
16:21Back to Mullet.
16:22Then to Moran.
16:24In the top box, Harry forgot his earlier embarrassment, pressing his omnioculars tightly against his
16:29glasses to keep up with the player's lightning speed.
16:33Kyle, too, was riveted to the game.
16:36The professional players moved incredibly fast, with the chasers passing the quaffle between
16:41each other as if it were about to explode.
16:44The three Irish chasers charged down the pitch in a synchronized formation, the quaffle flashing
16:49between them in quick succession, leaving even Bagman at a loss.
16:53Eventually, he gave up trying to announce each name individually, shouting, Ireland is
16:59in their hawk's head attacking formation, it's their specialty.
17:03Bulgaria doesn't know who to mark, oh.
17:06The Porskov ploy, Moran has drawn off Bulgarian beater Ivanova, passes to Troy, goal for Troy.
17:14Bagman's shout echoed across the stadium, which shook with the roar of cheers and applause.
17:1910 o'clock, Ireland takes the lead.
17:22That was amazing.
17:24This is nothing like the school matches, Hermione said, waving her Irish flag excitedly.
17:30But, are the bludgers moving faster than usual?
17:34She frowned, her mind racing.
17:37In school games, she could easily follow the bludgers, but now, they were only two blurs
17:42zipping across the pitch.
17:45These are tournament standard bludgers, Cedric explained.
17:48With all the players on firebolts, the old bludgers wouldn't keep up.
17:53So, the International Association of Quidditch adjusted both the bludgers and the Golden
17:58Snitch a few months ago, increasing their speed.
18:01I see, Hermione nodded, refocusing on the game.
18:06As the pre-match predictions had suggested, Ireland's exceptional chasers quickly took control
18:10of the match, scoring twice more in the first 10 minutes to make it 30-0.
18:16Mr. Weasley couldn't contain his cheers, while Harry, Ron, and Charlie, rooting for Bulgaria,
18:22managed polite but strained smiles.
18:25Luckily for the Bulgarian supporters, their team found an opening a few minutes later.
18:30Two Bulgarian beaters forced the Irish chasers to spread out, disrupting their formations.
18:36Taking advantage, Ivanova broke through, dodging the Irish keeper to score Bulgaria's first goal.
18:42Quick, cover your ears, the Villas are going to start dancing again, warned Mr. Weasley.
18:49Without needing to be told twice, Harry immediately lowered his head and shut his eyes, determined
18:54not to make a spectacle of himself again.
18:57But the celebration didn't last long for the Bulgarians.
19:02Ireland dominated the game, scoring five goals in quick succession, widening the lead to a
19:06lopsided margin.
19:09Bulgaria seemed stunned by the relentless Irish offense.
19:12Meanwhile, Victor Crum performed a daring Ronski feint, faking a dive for the snitch.
19:19Ireland's seeker, Lynch, took the bait, following Crum's plummet only to realize too late that
19:24the snitch was nowhere near.
19:26Lynch hit the ground with a heavy thud that echoed across the stadium, followed by gasps
19:31and groans from the Irish supporters.
19:33A healer rushed onto the field to assess Lynch's injuries, while Crum hovered a hundred feet
19:38above, scanning the stadium with sharp, focused eyes.
19:43He was using the delay to his advantage, searching intently for the golden snitch without competition,
19:48hoping for a quick end to the match.
19:51That was brilliant.
19:53Fred said, barely able to contain his excitement over the impressive feints and classic Quidditch
19:58maneuvers.
19:59I hope this match goes on for a long time.
20:03It'd be amazing if it lasted five whole days, like last time, George added eagerly.
20:08Oh.
20:09I don't think so, Percy raised his voice, sounding as if he wanted everyone in the box
20:15to hear him.
20:17If I'm away from work for five days, my intray will be piled high with paperwork again.
20:22Just thinking about it makes me shiver.
20:25Yeah, and someone might send you dragon dung in an envelope again, Fred said with a smirk.
20:31That was a fertilizer sample from Norway.
20:34Percy protested, his face turning red.
20:38Not for personal use.
20:40Sure it was.
20:42Fred whispered to Kyle with a grin, we send it to him ourselves.
20:46His voice was so low that, with the noise from the crowd, only Kyle could hear him.
20:52Finally, Lynch climbed back onto his firebolt and, to the cheers of Irish supporters, took
20:57off into the air once more.
21:00The Irish chasers regrouped almost instantly, working together so seamlessly that the Bulgarian
21:05defense looked as exposed as the grounds in front of Hogwarts.
21:0820 minutes later, Ireland had scored five more goals, increasing their lead to 130-10.
21:16The Bulgarian team, desperate and scoreless, was beginning to lose their composure.
21:21The game was taking on a more aggressive tone.
21:24Zo Graf, the Bulgarian keeper, couldn't resist throwing an elbow at Mullet as she got close
21:29to the goalposts, but the referee quickly called it out, awarding Ireland a penalty.
21:35After that, the Bulgarian beaters turned into ruthless bludgeoning machines, swinging at
21:40anything in their way, be it bludger or player.
21:44At one point, Moran was nearly knocked off her broom by their wild swings, and Bulgaria
21:49earned yet another foul.
21:51The leprechauns, hovering in the air to celebrate, took the opportunity to make rude gestures at
21:56the velas, taunting them.
21:59Enraged, the velas could no longer hold back.
22:03Instead of dancing, they soared up and hurled handfuls of fiery objects at the leprechauns.
22:08Their enchanting faces twisted into birdlike heads with sharp, pointed beaks, and scaly wings
22:14sprouted from their shoulders.
22:16They no longer looked beautiful, now they were ferocious and frightening.
22:20You see, children, that's what velas really look like, Mr. Weasley's voice rang out above
22:27the din, chuckling.
22:29That's why you should never judge a book by its cover.
22:32Harry and Ron nodded in agreement, still wide-eyed.
22:36Meanwhile, Kyle's eyes lit up with interest, and he instinctively reached for the mokeskin
22:41pouch containing his enchanted suitcase.
22:44As the conflict between the mascots escalated, ministry officials hurried into the field, trying
22:49to separate the velas and leprechauns with minimal success.
22:53The skirmish below was now almost as fierce as the match above.
22:58Although the leprechauns couldn't throw fireballs, they retaliated by flinging handfuls of gold
23:03coins, which, when hurled with enough force, could still leave a mark on the velas.
23:09The stadium was alive with vela screeches, the popping sounds of spells from ministry wands,
23:14and the cheers of supporters from both teams.
23:17The audience was thrilled, no one had told them they'd get a second show for the price
23:21of one, and they savored every second of the chaos.
23:25Kyle was constantly shifting his gaze, trying to keep up with the Quidditch match above and
23:29the fierce squabble between the velas and leprechauns below.
23:33He found himself wishing he'd bought a pair of omnioculars before the match.
23:38Hogwarts.
23:39I am such a model wizard.
23:43Chapter 464, Celebration Fred and George's hope for a five-day match wasn't to be.
23:49About an hour into the game, Lynch from the Irish team spotted the golden snitch, and so
23:54did Crum.
23:55The tiny, golden-winged ball hovered just five feet above the ground.
24:00Both seekers accelerated, diving at breakneck speed.
24:04They're going to crash.
24:07Hermione cried.
24:08No chance.
24:10Ron said confidently.
24:13Crum's the best seeker out there.
24:15But Lynch might beat him to it, shouted Harry, Cedric, and Charlie almost in unison.
24:21They were right.
24:23Lynch hit the ground hard for the second time, crashing spectacularly.
24:28The velas shrieked with excitement, and several rushed toward the leprechauns, laughing wildly.
24:33Crum, however, managed to pull up at the last second, skimming the ground before rising
24:38smoothly into the air.
24:40He raised his fist triumphantly, the snitch's golden glow visible between his fingers.
24:46Crum's got the snitch.
24:48The game's over.
24:50Harry shouted.
24:52The scoreboard updated with a flash, 170 to 160.
24:58Ireland wins.
24:59Bagman announced, though his voice held a note of confusion, as if the sudden end had caught
25:04him off guard.
25:06Crum caught the snitch, and Ireland won.
25:09I don't think anyone expected that.
25:12He wasn't alone in his bewilderment.
25:15Many Bulgarian supporters seemed equally puzzled.
25:18In their eyes, Crum should've stalled, allowing his teammates a chance to narrow the score gap.
25:25After all, in previous tournaments, losing teams often stretched games for days to prevent
25:29the other team's seeker from ending the match.
25:33But Crum.
25:34Many thought he'd been foolish to catch the snitch with Ireland so far ahead.
25:39Maybe he knew they couldn't close the gap, Kyle suggested, noticing Ron's look of disappointment.
25:44The Irish chasers were unstoppable, and Crum was right to end it when he did.
25:50Losing by only 10 points was regrettable, but it kept the defeat respectable.
25:55If the game had continued, Bulgaria might have lost by hundreds, maybe even a thousand points.
26:02Not only would that have been humiliating, but it could have tarnished their reputation.
26:07For Crum, it was the perfect moment to concede.
26:10Kyle glanced around the stadium.
26:13The leprechauns were darting through the air, overjoyed, while the Bulgarian players gathered
26:18around Crum, looking disheartened.
26:19A short distance away, the Irish team, reveling in their victory, was dancing with their mascot,
26:26who showered the crowd with gold coins once more.
26:30The vilas had returned to their beautiful forms, but each of them looked defeated, their
26:34earlier glow dimmed.
26:36We fought bravely, a heavy voice behind Kyle murmured.
26:40It was the Bulgarian minister of magic.
26:43Yes, of course.
26:46Fudge replied absently, before pausing in sudden realization.
26:50Wait, you understood me all along.
26:53And you let me stand here drawing pictures all day.
26:57The Bulgarian minister shrugged, smiling.
27:00It was entertaining, wasn't it?
27:03Fudge fumed, and even as he awarded the trophy to the Irish team, he looked anything but pleased.
27:09Meanwhile, the Bulgarian minister beamed as if they'd won.
27:14Bagman raised his wand to his throat once more, muttering, quietus, to soften his voice.
27:19I dare say this match will be talked about for years, he said hoarsely.
27:24What a twist, shame it didn't last longer.
27:28He glanced down from the box.
27:30The game had ended, and spectators began to make their way out.
27:35Yet some people, instead of heading toward the exits, were making their way toward the
27:39top box.
27:41They were all clad in shamrock-themed gear, chatting animatedly.
27:46Bagman noticed them too, and his face tightened, a look of unease flickering across it.
27:51Sorry, Arthur, Bagman said hastily, cutting his conversation short with Mr. Weasley.
27:57I've got a few things to take care of.
28:00See you next time.
28:02With that, he quickly left the box and disappeared into the crowd in a flash.
28:07Mr. Weasley led the group downstairs.
28:09Hey, Arthur, called a bearded wizard as they neared the exit, have you seen Mudo?
28:15I heard you were in the top box just now.
28:19He left right after the minister handed out the trophy, Mr. Weasley replied.
28:23Is something the matter, Ogden?
28:26Oh, nothing, the bearded wizard said with a cheerful grin.
28:30Just that generous Ludo owes me for the tickets.
28:34Ireland won, and since the game didn't drag on, he lost fifty galleons to me.
28:39Some congratulations are in order, Mr. Weasley chuckled.
28:43Huh, the other wizard laughed, waving as he went.
28:47I'll go hunt down Ludo.
28:50See you next time.
28:52See you next time.
28:54By the time Mr. Weasley, Kyle, and the others finally returned to the campsite, it was late
28:59at night.
29:00The hour did little to dampen anyone's spirits.
29:04The rough sounds of singing echoed through the night sky, with leprechauns darting overhead,
29:09waving their lanterns.
29:11Laughter and cheers filled the air.
29:14Can we head back now?
29:16Kyle asked, glancing at the starless sky thick with the sounds of revelry.
29:21I'm afraid not, Mr. Weasley shook his head.
29:24No one expected the match to end so soon, and it'll take a while to set up the port keys
29:29again.
29:30What about apparition?
29:33Kyle suggested.
29:34That's out too, Mr. Weasley said.
29:38There are anti-disapparition jinxes around the campsite, and the ministry's keeping watch.
29:44Only the field where we arrived is open for it, see.
29:47He pointed to a line of people in the distance, stretching endlessly back to the entrance of the
29:52camp.
29:53Kyle frowned.
29:54What's wrong?
29:57Mr. Weasley asked.
29:59Just that it's so noisy here, Kyle replied.
30:03I doubt I'll get any sleep.
30:05Oh yes, I suppose you're right, Mr. Weasley muttered.
30:09Good thing I'm off duty, otherwise, I'd have to try and quiet them down.
30:14He considered Kyle for a moment, then said, alright, you've got a point.
30:19It's not exactly peaceful.
30:22I'll go find Arnold and see if we can apparate just outside the camp boundary.
30:27With that, he stepped out of the tent.
30:30Kyle stood in the doorway, watching as Mr. Weasley disappeared into the bustling campsite.
30:36Across the camp, the singing and odd clanging noises continued, growing louder, as if the
30:41revelers planned to keep celebrating Ireland's victory all night long.
30:45Twenty minutes later, Mr. Weasley returned, his face grim.
30:50What?
30:51Kyle began, but Mr. Weasley quickly ushered him into the tent.
30:56Quick, wake everyone else up, he ordered urgently.
31:00I just saw someone attacking Arnold.
31:03By the time I got there, he was already down, struck from behind by someone in a hood.
31:09Who was it?
31:10Bill, who hadn't gone to sleep, drew his wand immediately.
31:14I couldn't see their face, Mr. Weasley replied, shaking his head.
31:20I've alerted the Aurors, and until they find whoever's behind this, we'd better stay in
31:25our tents.
31:26That's what Scrimgeer wants as well.
31:29It must be those Bulgarian supporters, Bill muttered angrily.
31:34They lost the game and now they're trying to cause trouble to vent their frustration.
31:38Mr. Weasley didn't respond, though he seemed inclined to agree.
31:43He quickly roused everyone, instructing them to dress, pack their things, and wait inside
31:48the tent.
31:50The attack on Arnold left him with a growing sense of unease, worried that any pent-up anger
31:54from the game could lead to further disturbances.
31:58He was prepared to leave as soon as the Aurors located the culprits.
32:02Honestly, what do those people want, and why now?
32:06Ron grumbled, barely awake.
32:09He slumped at the small table, head nodding in drowsiness.
32:12Aren't they afraid of the Aurors?
32:15He didn't get to finish, because suddenly Kyle noticed a different sound coming from outside.
32:21The singing had ceased, replaced by frantic screams and the sounds of people running.
32:26Arthur.
32:27One of the Aurors who had been in the top box earlier burst into the tent, his face tense.
32:33It's worse than we thought, there are too many of them.
32:37Be careful.
32:39With that, he dashed out again, wand at the ready.
32:42Let's go.
32:44Mr. Weasley decided instantly.
32:46We need to get out of here now.
32:49Hogwarts.
32:50I am such a model wizard.
32:53Chapter 465, the killing cursed the group, already packed, burst out of the tent at Mr. Weasley's command.
33:00The once jubilant camp was now filled with panicked screams and utter chaos.
33:06The sky seemed darker than before, as if a thick, oppressive fog had swallowed the stars.
33:12In the distance, people were fleeing toward the forest, chased by a group moving slowly but
33:18punishingly behind them.
33:19Each of these figures wore a hood and a mask, concealing their faces entirely.
33:23There was no mistaking their intent, anyone who prowled around in the middle of the night wearing a mask and torching tents was clearly up to no good.
33:31Anything in their path was destroyed without hesitation.
33:36You, into the forest.
33:39Mr. Weasley shouted.
33:41Bill, keep an eye on them, don't let them get separated, but before he could finish, he noticed
33:47Bill, Charlie, and Percy running toward the approaching mob, Wands drawn.
33:52Mr. Weasley hurried after them, calling over his shoulder, go into the forest.
33:57The Aurors cleared it, it's safe there.
34:01And remember, stay together.
34:03Nodding, the group dashed into the woods.
34:07Once they ducked under the cover of trees, they looked back to see the mob had grown even larger.
34:12It wasn't just the hooded figures now, other spectators, including foreign wizards, had joined
34:18in, paying no heed to the ministry's warnings.
34:22Many of these new rioters didn't even bother hiding their faces, brazenly looting and causing
34:26mayhem.
34:27The mob was so overwhelming that the small number of ministry staff on site couldn't
34:32keep up.
34:33Soon, the riot spiraled out of control, with people storming into empty tents, looting what
34:38they found, or dragging the tents away altogether.
34:41No, we have to help Dad.
34:45Fred and George exclaimed, staring at the growing mob with mounting anxiety.
34:50They tried to rush back, but Ginny held them back firmly.
34:54No way, she said fiercely.
34:57They're all adult wizards, you'll only get in the way.
35:01Who says?
35:02Fred struggled to free himself.
35:05We may not be fully trained, but we've got Dumb Bombs and Bulbadox powder.
35:10George nodded in agreement.
35:12Trust us, sometimes these things work better than magic.
35:16Oh, there you are.
35:19Their argument was interrupted as a figure stumbled toward them from the shadows.
35:24Kyle and Cedric immediately raised their wands, ready to defend themselves.
35:28It's me, Arthur sent me to look after you all.
35:32The man stepped out of the shadows, wearing a tweed suit and rubber boots.
35:37You're that ministry official, aren't you?
35:39Basil, right?
35:42Cedric asked, recognizing the man from when they'd arrived.
35:45Yes, that's right, the man replied.
35:49I ran into Arthur, he told me those people are after Harry Potter and asked me to look
35:53after you all.
35:55What?
35:57After me?
35:58Harry said, baffled.
36:00He had done nothing but watch the Quidditch match, why would anyone be after him?
36:05They're Death Eaters, the man replied, a sense of urgency in his voice.
36:10They're here to avenge the Dark Lord's downfall.
36:14He reached out his hand.
36:16The Aurors need to see you, Harry.
36:19Come with me, I'll take you to Scrimgear.
36:22Hearing Dark Lord made Harry involuntarily shudder as memories of the face
36:26on the back of Quirrell's head flashed through his mind.
36:30Unthinkingly, he took a step forward.
36:33Then, in a blur, stupefy.
36:36Avada, a brilliant light exploded, and the man was blasted ten feet into the air, landing
36:42on the ground with a dull thud, unmoving.
36:45The green light that had just started to form at his wand's tip flickered out.
36:49The entire group froze, stunned.
36:52It had all happened so quickly that no one had had time to react.
36:57What just happened?
36:59Harry took a few stunned steps back.
37:01Obviously, someone wants you dead, Kyle said, lowering his wand and scanning the area intently.
37:08But wasn't he ministry staff?
37:11Harry asked, his voice filled with confusion.
37:14Let's just say he was, Kyle replied.
37:17Holly juice potion, imperious curse, it wouldn't be difficult for someone to borrow his identity.
37:24How'd you know he was a threat?
37:27Cedric asked, stepping forward and picking up the fallen wand.
37:30Truthfully, he hadn't suspected a thing until the man cast the killing curse.
37:36It's simple, Kyle explained.
37:39If people were really after Harry, Mr. Weasley would have come himself, not sent a low-ranking
37:44ministry employee we've only met once.
37:47And this guy isn't even an Auror, sending him to protect such a dangerous target doesn't
37:51make sense.
37:53Cedric opened his mouth to reply, but found himself at a loss, and the others looked equally
37:58stunned.
38:00No one else had thought of that.
38:03Harry said, still shaken.
38:06You saved my life.
38:08Don't mention it, Kyle said, shaking his head.
38:12Right now, the priority is to get out of here, before he could finish, a blinding green flash
38:17lit up the night, illuminating half the camp.
38:21Everyone froze, they recognized the light immediately.
38:25It was the killing curse, the same one that had nearly hit Harry moments before, but this
38:30time, it was directed somewhere back in the camp.
38:33They turned to look, and the once chaotic crowd suddenly fell silent.
38:38Then, as if ignited, the camp erupted in bedlam.
38:42The cries of panic and pain were deafening, and magic shot in every direction as spells
38:47flew wildly across the grounds.
38:50In the distance, a few distinct shouts could be heard over the uproar, damn you, ministry
38:55of magic.
38:57The killing curse on us.
38:59The riot became a frenzy.
39:01Some tried to flee, while others, overwhelmed by fear or anger, began attacking blindly.
39:08A barrage of colored spells now lit up the camp like fireworks.
39:12Fred and George instinctively moved to run toward the fray, but this time both Ginny and
39:17Cedric grabbed their arms, pulling them back.
39:20Kyle stared at the chaos, a sinking feeling growing within him.
39:24A ministry official had tried to assassinate Harry, and now the killing curse had appeared
39:29again, supposedly cast by the ministry against the rioters.
39:34Something was very wrong.
39:36This is deliberate, someone's framing the ministry.
39:40Kyle muttered, his mind racing.
39:42Whoever was behind this clearly intended to incite a massive conflict, and it seemed they'd
39:47succeeded.
39:48Boom!
39:49A summoning charm exploded nearby, sending dirt and debris spraying across the forest.
39:56Bits of rock and soil rained down on them.
39:59Are the Death Eaters preparing to attack the ministry?
40:03Kyle's heart pounded.
40:04If this was more than just an attempt to cause chaos, and people were using deadly curses,
40:10even someone like Fudge wouldn't let it slide.
40:13If the ministry didn't respond decisively, it would be disastrous.
40:17Boom!
40:19Another spell exploded closer to them.
40:22Without hesitation, Kyle reached into his mokeskin pouch, pulled out his enchanted suitcase,
40:27and pressed his fingers against the latch.
40:30You, all of you, get in, he ordered, opening the suitcase.
40:35What?
40:37Ron looked at the small opening skeptically.
40:39Kyle, you're joking, right?
40:42How are we supposed to fit into a suitcase?
40:46Don't waste time.
40:48Kyle barked.
40:49He grabbed Ron's shoulders and gave him a shove, causing Ron to stumble forward and fall
40:54into the open suitcase.
40:56What the?
40:57Ron's protest was cut off as he vanished, followed by a metallic clang and a groan, as
41:02if he'd hit something.
41:04Hurry, next.
41:06Kyle shouted.
41:07Hermione, quicker to understand, remembered that Kyle had used this very suitcase to pull
41:13out a devil's snare and capture Professor Lupin when he transformed into a werewolf.
41:18He'd mentioned then that the suitcase was a bit roomier than it looked.
41:22Still, she hadn't imagined it could fit an entire person.
