Unlike the simple magic food they had earlier, the souvenirs were different.
While the delectable treats had cost just a few copper Knuts per person, these items were in a different league.
The panoramic telescope, for instance, was priced at a hefty ten gold Galleons.Reêad latest novels at
Aware of their financial constraints, Jerry understood that accepting these gifts would be a matter of pride.
Each member of the group, including Ron, declined Jerrys generous offer.
Jerry persisted, suggesting, It doesnt matter; just take it as a loan and return it to me when you win the bet.
His clever move was to frame it as a loan rather than a gift.
This appealed to their sense of pride, and they agreed.
Only Ron and Ginny hesitated to take the gifts from Jerry because even if they won the bet, they wouldnt get much simply because their total fortunes only amounted to three Sickles.
Arthur, who had taken a loan against their upcoming winnings, reassured Ron and Ginny, patting them on the shoulders.
Its fine, take it! If its not enough, then I will figure out the rest for you! He said with a warm smile, reassuring them both.
They could pick up the money when they needed it, and the rest could be settled later.
As night descended, the thousands of red and green lanterns adorning the trees surrounding the camp illuminated the path leading to the Quidditch pitch.
The sound of gongs could be heard from the distance.
As the moment approached, Arthur was filled with excitement, rallying the group to enter the stadium.
Everyone was equipped with their new medals and ribbons, following Arthur toward the enormous Quidditch pitch.
Jerry proceeded ahead and waved to his teammates when he spotted Coach Meier, who was waiting for him.
The team members wished him success, their words carrying the weight of their collective fortunes.
With a resounding whoosh, the Irish team soared onto the pitch, resplendent in their green robes and mounted on their broomsticks.
Behind them, hundreds of young Irish boys donning leprechaun costumes followed suit.
They circled the field, forming a gigantic green shamrock at the center.
The leprechaun impersonators gleefully tossed gold coins into the air, creating a gleaming spectacle as the gold pieces rained down, sparking excitement among the young wizards and witches. At the same time, the older audience members chuckled knowingly.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, a hearty welcome to the English national Quidditch team! And observe its our unmatched Seeker, the invincible Mr. Jerry Carmen!
Following the Irish performance, Minister Fudges introduction of the English team was delivered with even greater enthusiasm, emphasizing Jerrys impressive track record and contributions.
As Jerry soared onto the field alongside his English Quidditch team, an arched rainbow emerged, enveloping the entire stadium.
Scores of magical flames, each radiating vibrant hues, ascended into the sky.
Remarkably, the stadiums guardrails projected a luminous beam of light, magnifying Jerrys image as he executed intricate mid-air maneuvers on his broomstick.
This enchanting display allowed every one of the 100,000 spectators to witness his performance in great detail.
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry! In response, a multitude of devoted Jerry fans sprang to their feet, unleashing excited cheers that resonated throughout the stadium.
This Minister really knows how to use the home advantage, Jerry observed, slightly amused by the Ministers shrewd tactics.
He recognized that even though strength was paramount in competitions, subtle maneuvers could still impact the outcome.
The entire Quidditch pitch had been constructed under the auspices of the British Ministry of Magic. With the venue situated in the United Kingdom, there was ample room for manipulating circumstances in favor of the home team.
In this instance, Fudges strategy was already evident as the English team, led by Jerry, seized the upper hand in terms of momentum.
If the teams were closely matched in skill, this advantage would significantly bolster the English teams chances.
However, the English sides players, apart from Jerry, were undoubtedly outmatched in terms of sheer talent, leaving a daunting challenge ahead.
Regrettably, the majority of the English teams players fell short in comparison to their Irish counterparts, placing immense pressure on Jerry as the pivotal figure to carry their collective hopes on his shoulders.
Nevertheless, the atmosphere in the stadium was electric, and the home crowds fervent support elevated spirits, giving a glimmer of hope to the English team as they prepared for the grand showdown.
