By noon, Bill, Charlie, and Percy were also there.
When everyone was through lunch, Mr. Weasley suddenly stood up, smiling and greeting a wizard who strode up.
"The most important person at the moment, Ludo!"
The man hugged Mr. Weasley, "Arthur, old man, isn't it wonderful? We've been preparing for a year, and we're finally starting!"
Alvin knew this man, Ludovic Bagman, now the head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports and a former excellent Quidditch player.
"This is Ludo. You all know who he is, right? We are in such a good position thanks to him."
Ludo waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.
"Want to make a bet? Arthur?" he said eagerly. "I've had a lot of bets, and I think Ireland will win, but many people don't."
Mr. Weasley was also very interested. He took out a Galleon and bet Ireland to win. Still, Ludo was a little dissatisfied and seemed to dislike Mr. Weasley's stinginess.
The Weasley twins were about to move and wanted to get involved but were stopped by Alvin's eyes.
Seeing that no one was making a bet, Ludo was about to leave, "I'm going to find Crouch. Those Bulgarians have such poor English that I don't understand it."
Before the words were finished, a wizard suddenly Apparated in front of their camp. It was Barty Crouch Snr.
At this time, Crouch was wearing a neat suit and dressed meticulously like a banker in the Muggle world.
"Mr. Crouch!"
Percy stood up excitedly, rushed to Crouch quickly, and bowed.
Crouch frowned. "You are... Weathersby?"
"Pfft!"
The twins laughed and spat out the tea in their mouths. Percy boasted at home daily about how familiar he was with Mr. Crouch. But when they met, Crouch couldn't even remember his surname.
Percy blushed, not knowing if it was from shame or the twins.
And their laughter also attracted Crouch's attention. After seeing Alvin, Crouch's eyes also lit up.
"Mr. Gaunt," Crouch took a few steps, came to Alvin's side, and stretched out his hand, "Just now, some distinguished guests from other countries mentioned you. They regret not seeing you in England this time."
Alvin got up and shook hands with the other party, "They wanted alchemy creatures more. It doesn't matter if they see me or not."
Hearing him say this, Crouch didn't retort, "Are you coming to Box 1 soon? The Ministers of Magic from all countries will be there."
Alvin thought about it but refused.
Percy's envious eyes turned red. Crouch, whom he had always regarded as an idol, treated Alvin so enthusiastically that he couldn't even remember his surname.
However, Alvin talked to Crouch with an equal or even higher attitude and declined his invitation lightly.
Crouch was not reluctant. He had some official business with Mr. Weasley again and left with Ludo.
"Percy is about to envy you."
Ron was gloating, and he'd been getting a lot of training for Percy lately.
"His utilitarianism is too heavy, but he doesn't know that strength is the foundation."
Alvin's indifferent evaluator to Percy and Harry on the side couldn't help but complain.
"Not everyone can be as perverted as you are, Alvin."
"perverted?"
Alvin looked at him dangerously.
Noticing his gaffe, Harry quickly shut his mouth.
"By the way, while we want to make a bet. Why did you stop us?"
George remembered what had happened just now and asked curiously.
"Don't think that Bagman is the head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports, but this person is addicted to gambling and has already owed a lot of foreign debts. You can catch up and bet if you want to lose everything."
Hearing what Alvin said, the twins were also a little scared. They were going to bet a hundred Galleons just now. If they were really cheated, they would have nowhere to cry.
The game was played in the evening, and now it is afternoon.
Alvin brought a few girls to the market not far away to pass the time.
There were already many vendors in the market, and they were selling all kinds of bizarre gadgets.
There are medals of different colors, hats with logos, some small models of Firebolts, and even miniature models of members of the two teams.
It was also the first time that Alvin discovered that there were people who knew how to do business in the wizarding community.
Along the way, a few girls curious about each stall have to take a look.
Especially Nagini has never seen such a playful scene, and every commodity attracts her greatly.
Alvin would buy that product if the girls' eyes stayed a little longer.
All the vendors are laughing from ear to ear, and this kind of forthright customer is their favorite.
It didn't take long for everyone to be covered in souvenirs.
Luna's straw hat had been taken off and replaced with a dancing clover hat, and a bracelet of various Ireland emblems was on her hand.
Cho also has a small Ireland flag pinned to her slender waist and holds a small Firebolt model.
"Dear guest, do you need Binoculars?"
A wizard pushed a cart in front of several people. On the cart's shelf were several binoculars.
Cho picked up one and played with it with great interest.
The wizard introduced enthusiastically. "Binoculars, you can replay the picture, play it in slow motion and even analyze the game. Just ten Galleons."
"How much do you have here? I want them all."
The wizard directly shows his back molars from laughing when Alvin says that.
Seeing that Alvin bought so many telescopes, Luna was a little puzzled, "Alvin, why did you buy so many?"
"These are for Fred and the others. This will be their Christmas present this year."
Passing Galleon and pocketing all the binoculars, Alvin explained to Luna.
Giving Christmas presents every year consumes a lot of Alvin's brain cells. This binocular is a good choice, which can save him a lot of trouble.
The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and everyone rushed towards the stadium. Alvin looked at the time and felt that it was almost starting.
He also took a few girls to the scene of the game.
