Quidditch World Cup
The
four hundred and twenty-second Quidditch World Cup was held somewhere in the
mist moors of Britain. To protect it from prying Muggle eyes, a Ministry task
force of five hundred members worked all year to ready the stadium, they placed Muggle repelling Charms on
every inch of it. Every time Muggles got anywhere near they've suddenly remembered
urgent appointments and had to dash away again, the stadium held over one
hundred thousand people, allow for wizards from all over the world who wished
to attend. People with cheaper tickets would have to have arrived two weeks before the game. A limited number were allowed
to use Muggle transport.
There were those that chosen to Apparate,
and the ministry had set up safe points for them to appear, well away from
Muggles, luckily this year there was a handy wood that they were able to use
as the Apparition point. For those who don't want to Apparate, or couldn't,
over 200 Portkeys had been set up.
The path towards the Quidditch pitch was lit by red and green lanterns, surrounding
the field was a golden wall, which could hold ten cathedrals. Everything was
suffused with a mysterious magical golden light, which came from the stadium
itself, for this special event the field was as smooth as velvet. Standing
at either end of the field stood three goal hoops, fifty feet high. Opposite
the top box, was a gigantic blackboard, and gold writing kept dashing across
it as though an invisible giant's hand were scrawling upon the blackboard
and then wiping it off again, it flashed its advertisements across the field.
The two teams in the final were
Ireland and Bulgaria.
Ireland had won against Peru, but England went down to Transylvania, three
hundred and ninety to ten. Wales lost to Uganda, and Scotland had been defeated
by Luxembourg.
