But after that commotion just now, the situation was completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius's bossy nouveau riche manner left the two stunned on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they could only obediently accept this gift, without even a chance to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, after the vendor wizard left in high spirits, Ron and Ginny were still somewhat embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sirius, wasn't that too much of an expense?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their parents were really too prolific.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven children, one each—that was a full seventy Galleons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you saying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius waved his hand domineeringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't forget, I'm your elder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elder buying things the younger generation likes—isn't that natural?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deliberately paused, squinting at Ron and Ginny with interest, the corner of his mouth curving into a mischievous smile as he meaningfully added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless you want to calculate seniority from Molly's side?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, Ron, you'd be my cousin, and Ginny would be my cousin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm... that way, Harry would have to call you uncle and little aunt...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to be Harry's little aunt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny said with a red face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron also flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The color was as red as his hair—also a Weasley family trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the two blushed for different reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny simply didn't want the generational gap between her and Harry widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Distant cousin was no problem—from a certain perspective, it could even add a bit of interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But distant little aunt? A generation apart, that little hope would be completely gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Ron, he was purely sensitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Harry had inherited a small fortune from his parents and was much wealthier than him—a fact he was always sensitive about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Harry paid to give him an Omniocular, he absolutely couldn't accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Sirius, it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sirius said, he was an elder, and elders giving gifts to juniors was both reasonable and proper, and wouldn't make him feel awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Ron grinned and said, \"You're right, that's reasonable enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he couldn't help picking up the Omnioculars and trying them out on the distant tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clear image in the tubes made his eyes light up, and that bit of embarrassment completely dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Weasley siblings who were particularly sensitive about money, Sherlock, Harry, and Hermione were much more composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't care much about the number of Galleons to begin with, valuing more the sentiment behind this gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, thank you, Sirius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock accepted the Omnioculars, and Harry also smiled and nodded. After Hermione thanked Sirius, she added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me buy everyone a match program—look, over there—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they finished all this and returned to the tent, they found everyone else had also bought green sports badges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Weasley was even holding an Irish flag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, the entire Weasley family were Irish supporters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Percy had no souvenirs—he seemed unwilling to spend money on such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Weasley children received Sirius's gifts, each one beamed with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empty-handed Percy was stunned for a moment, but eventually thanked Sirius and Harry with a red face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding those souvenirs, he truly wasn't interested, but for practical items like Omnioculars, he felt they were necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sirius, you really spent too much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Weasley looked at his seven children each holding an Omniocular, also somewhat embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You buying for the other children is one thing, but Bill, Charlie, and Percy are all adults...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you saying, Arthur!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius heavily slapped his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adults? Even if they're older, they're still children for me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Me as an uncle buying gifts for my nephews—do I need to consider their age?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With words reaching this point, Mr. Weasley smiled and said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone was excitedly testing their Omnioculars, a deep, booming gong suddenly sounded from somewhere distant in the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sound seemed to be a signal—in the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of lanterns emitting red or green light blossomed on the trees, instantly illuminating the path to the stadium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Weasley said excitedly, \"Quick, let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young wizards all cheered happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Quidditch World Cup final was finally beginning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Mr. Weasley led the way, with Sirius standing beside him with hands in pockets, walking shoulder to shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Sherlock, Harry, and Hermione, he was also the most Muggle-like wizard among everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone clutched their purchases and walked briskly into the woods along the lantern-lit path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could see thousands of people moving around them, with shouts, laughter, and intermittent singing coming from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feverish excitement was very contagious, and almost everyone soon found themselves unable to help smiling widely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when Harry looked at Sherlock beside him, he was surprised to find only a faint smile on his face, seemingly not affected by this emotion at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never let emotions influence your judgment, my dear Harry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock unsurprisingly saw through Harry's thoughts, and when he looked over, explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That would be a very dangerous thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, I now think you're a bit like that Moody fellow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sirius turned his head back, smiling. \"He always thinks he's in danger at all times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are two different concepts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Sirius's teasing, Sherlock said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The danger in his perception comes from outside, the danger in my perception comes from within.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group continued talking and joking loudly like this, walking for about twenty minutes before finally emerging from the other side of the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once out of the woods, they suddenly found themselves standing in the shadow of a massive stadium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from this position, everyone could only see part of the magnificent golden walls surrounding the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, everyone could see this could hold ten cathedrals without problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This can accommodate a full one hundred thousand spectators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a member of the Ministry of Magic who participated in this construction, Mr. Weasley explained somewhat proudly to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five hundred Ministry workers were busy with this for a whole year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might not believe it, but every inch of this place has been cast with Muggle-Repelling Charms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Muggles approach here, they suddenly remember extremely urgent matters and hurriedly leave...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God bless them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said somewhat guiltily, as if embarrassed that the wizarding world's grand event affected Muggles' normal lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advantage of individual wizards compared to Muggles was truly too great—this was undoubtedly the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a well-trained, fully armed soldier facing a wizard wouldn't be a match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the prerequisite was that the wizard couldn't be approached by the soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it would be white blade in, red blade out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in most cases, before Muggles could get close, they would often be controlled or knocked down by the wizard's ranged spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... from what he now saw, the gap between these two groups was also significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, being able to directly change the other party's cognition—this ability was really too OP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock tried imagining what he would do if he had no magical talent and encountered magical world crime problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the Killing Curse that left no trace, even exhausting all reasoning methods, he probably couldn't analyze it, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, what's wrong with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione, who had been watching Sherlock, saw him suddenly fall into deep thought and couldn't help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I suddenly thought about some connections between the magical world and Muggle world, nothing major.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock shook his head and pointed ahead. \"We've arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Mr. Weasley had already led everyone to the nearest entrance, which was surrounded by many dancing, shouting wizards—clearly, they were a bit over-excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Premium tickets!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Ministry witch at the entrance clearly recognized Arthur Weasley. She looked at the tickets in Sirius and Mr. Weasley's hands and said to Mr. Weasley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Top Box! Straight upstairs—Arthur, just lead them all the way to the very top.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple carpet had already been laid on the stairs leading to the stadium, looking quite high-end, grand, and classy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the witch's directions, they went up with the crowd without obstruction to the very top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Weasley really hadn't been wrong—Ludo Bagman had indeed gotten them the best tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small box they were now in was located at the highest point of the stadium, directly facing the golden goal posts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This position was impressive, allowing a complete view of the entire playing field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though called a small box, there were still about twenty purple and gilt chairs arranged in two rows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock, Harry, Hermione, Sirius, and the Weasley family lined up and sat in the front row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From here they could clearly see the hundred thousand wizards Mr. Weasley mentioned gradually taking their seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those seats surrounded the oval stadium, arranged in tiers rising upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The field appeared as smooth as velvet, with three goal hoops on each side, fifty feet high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To their right was a huge blackboard constantly flashing golden text.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Comet.
