11 Quidditch World Cup

Avalon.

"You sure don't want to see the Quidditch World Cup?"  Ray asked, looking at Daphne and Astoria.

"No. There are always a lot of people in such places. Besides, you said that death eaters would attack during the championship." Said Daphne.

"I also do not want to be in such a crowd of people."  Astoria added.

"Ehhh. Honestly, I don't want that either. But Bella and I need to meet Narcissa.

"Ray. You said that this year will be the last. And we will go to another world. The girls and I talked and decided that only Astoria would accompany you to Hogwarts. I already sent letters to school, informing them that Daphne and I turn to home schooling."  said Bella.

"Are you sure? There will be a Three Wizards Tournament this year," Ray said.

"Yes, that's why we decided not to go to school. Bella and I will collect all the famous magic plants and plant them on Avalon.

We will also try to get into Gringotts and find books we don't have there.  Perhaps we can find the vault of Merlin or King Arthur. The goblins respected and idolized them, so it is likely that their vaults are still intact.  But we will still be returning to our Hogwarts bedroom every night to sleep with you. "Said Daphne with a smile.

"As long as you are careful and do not put yourself at extra risk, I am fine with all this. Although you have become very strong, but do not be arrogant." Ray said.

Daphne and Bella nodded.

"Don't worry, we will act very carefully. And we will inform you about everything."  said Bella.

"Are you ready?" Ray asked, looking at Bella.

"Ready."  answered Bella.

"Good luck. We'll wait," said Astoria and Daphne.

 _____

With a flash of flame, they found themselves in a clearing covered in fog.

In front of them stood two worn and irritated wizards, one with a massive gold watch and the other with a thick scroll of parchment and a feather.  Both are dressed in Muggle clothes, but very ineptly, even funny.

Ignoring them, Ray and Bella went straight.

It took about 10 minutes to go.  Through the fog began to be seen some kind of cottage located next to the gate.  In the distance, through the fog, silhouettes of a huge number of tents could be seen.

Near the cottage was an ordinary Muggle.

Ray and Bella walked past him.  This is a good thing - Desillumination spell.

Approaching the tents, they felt like they passed through the barrier.  They were immediately attacked by noise. A huge number of people had fun, who sang songs, who flew, who danced.  People had fun as best they could.

Going through the tents, they found their place.  Back in early summer, Ray booked it.

With a wave of a hand, a tent appeared.

Bella began to conjure, surrounding the tent with dozens of protective charms.

After she finished, she immediately grabbed Ray by the hand.

"Take a walk? Wizards from around the world are gathered here," she said.

"Good idea. Let's take a walk. This time is only for us."  smiling and kissing Bella, Ray said.

The tents were completely different.  Someone looked like castles with towers.  Someone they were like pyramids. For others, they were decorated with drawings of animals that were as if alive.

In the distance they saw a huge number of green tents with clover patterns on many of them.  They were fans of the Irish national team.

There, they noticed a golden trio who spoke with Seamus Finnigan and the red-haired woman, most likely his mother.

Going further they saw tents with the flags of Bulgaria.  Nearly every tent hung a portrait of a young guy with a stern face.  Ray guessed that it was Victor Krum, the catcher of the national team of Bulgaria.

Near one of the tents, they saw a line of wizards.  They were dressed like clowns.

They heard a conversation between two men, one of whom was wearing a women's dress.

"I bought it at a Muggle store. Muggles wear such clothes." Said the first man.

"Muggle women wear them, not men. Men wear this."  A second man spoke, pointing to his striped trousers.

"I won't put on other clothes! I love the fresh breeze around the intimate parts of the body, so thank you!"  answered first.

"Hahahaha," Bella began to laugh, hiding her head in Ray's arms.

Ray also laughed at the wizards' fashion sense.

Along the way, they saw most of the Hogwarts students, almost all came up and greeted Ray and Bella.

Ray even met with Cho Chang.  She looked at him like meat. Her gaze was filled with lust.

Leaving Ray, Bella said: "Is she a masochist? Does it feel like if I weren't with you, she would have rap*ed you right here."

They saw a huge number of students from other schools.  Ilvermorny, Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, Uagadou, Castelobruxo, representatives of all these schools met along the way, they even saw students from the Koldovstoretz.

"Gabrielle, Gabrielle no need to run away."  they heard a voice speaking french.

Ray noticed and saw two very beautiful girls.  One was about 18 years old. She had long blonde hair extending to the waist and beautiful blue eyes.  Next to her was a girl about 12 y.o very similar to her, most likely a younger sister.

The girl seemed to feel something, raised her head and began to look around.  And then she met with beautiful red eyes, which for a moment turned into vertical slits, but she noticed it.  Fleur Delacour, and it was she, fell into a daze. She never in her life felt what she feels now.

"Fleur, Fleur, wake up." She heard and cast off the obsession.

"Is everything all right, Fleur?" Gabrielle asked, she had not seen Ray and Bella.  Seeing Ray she would have had a similar condition.

"What is this feeling, who is it. Where did he go."  Fleur began to speak and looked around.

"What are you talking about? I haven't seen anyone."  Gabrielle answered.

"Nothing, I need to talk with maman."  Fleur answered and started walking toward the tent.

 _____

As soon as Ray understood who these girls were, he immediately ran away.  When he was running away, he felt a loss, but already too many women gathered around him.  It was too fast.

"Ray ... .." Bell said looking at Ray.

"What? You saw, it's not my fault. Damn, the universe wants me to have more wives. Old man, I hope it's not because of you."  looking up at the sky, Ray said frantically. He could have sworn he heard the laughter of God.

"Ppffffhhahaha," Bella laughed.

{Darling, a long way to go.  And you will be faced with this constantly.  These two girls smell like Veelas. You know ?  Veelas - they are like swans, fall in love with one partner for the rest of their lives.  No matter how much I want it .... But you cannot refuse her, she will simply die if you do this.  Besides, didn't you say that you want to create your own pantheon? Then you will need many wives who will become goddesses.  You yourself said that the dragon will not tolerate another man standing next to him, unless he is his servant. Know, we will make any decision of yours.} Bella mentally said looking into Ray's eyes with love.

{Let's leave it for the future.  We will see each other again. I knew that I would have more wives.  Remember, I told you about the world of pirates. So, there is a girl there, her name is Ain.  I would like to meet her and get to know her. And there are many such girls, but I never thought.  That it will be so fast.} Ray answered.

{As you said, let's leave it for the future.  If you like these girls, then I doubt that they will be bad and will not be able to become part of our family.} Hugging Ray, Bella said.

"By the way, dear. You probably have a fetish. Look, Daphne and Astoria are sisters. We will soon meet Cissi, she is my sister. The two Veelas were very similar, most likely they are also sisters." Bella said and began to look at  Ray as a criminal.

"Wwwhhat, no. It's a coincidence. It's just a coincidence."  turned away said Ray.

"Are you absolutely sure about that?"  asked Bella.

"Let's move on."  Taking Bella's hand Ray said.

Bella just smiled.

[I will need to tell the girls.]

 _____

The evening of the same day.

Hundreds of merchants appeared and began to sell various trinkets.

Glow sticks, the color of the teams of Ireland and Bulgaria.

Various glasses.  Toys Whistles.

What there just wasn't.

Ray and Bella bought big green hats.  Why not ?

"Let's go. Honey. As far as I know, Malfoys will be in the ministerial box. We will go there too. This minister sent us invitations at the beginning of summer."  said Ray.

"Fudge wants to bribe us? Hehe, let's see how he succeeds."  answered Bella.

The stadium was a 10-minute walk from the tent camp.

It was visible from afar.  He was huge. There should fit at least 200,000 people.

"There is a huge amount of enchantment, it is not surprising that the Muggles did not notice such a structure."  said Bella.

"Yes, they did a great job," said Ray.

Before entering, Ray showed his tickets to woman from the ministry.

"First-class seats! Upper seats! Right up the stairs and upstairs."  she said joyfully.

"Thanks."  answered Bella.

The stairs in the stadium were lined with bright purple carpets.  Ray and Bella rose higher and higher. Finally they climbed to the very top of the stairs and found themselves in a small box at the highest point of the stadium.  There were about twenty purple-gold armchairs in two rows.

These were the best places.  And everything was perfectly visible.

Ray and Bella took two places aside.

Nobody has come yet.  Only the house elf sat in one place.

Ray remembered that Barty Crouch jr, who was hidden under the invisibility cloak and who would steal wand from Harry, was supposed to sit next to this elf.  But he did not feel it. He'll probably come later when the game begins.

After 5 minutes, a noisy company came: all of Weasley, Harry and Hermione.

They started talking to the elf.  Ignoring Ray and Bella.

After a couple of minutes, other people began to come.  Percy Weasley got up every time and bowed to everyone.

"Why not just kiss them in the ass."  said Ray.

"He looks like Fudge." Remarked Bella.

The Minister of Magic of Bulgaria sat next to Ray.  There was one place left next to Bella. They left him for Narcissa.  Lucius will be glad if his wife gets the opportunity to build a relationship with the Peverells.

Fudge spoke to the Minister of Magic of Bulgaria as an idiot.

"Harry Potter, you understand? HARRY POTTER."  He tried to explain.

"Do you understand perfectly English. Or is it just fun to watch this idiot?"  Ray sounded cold.

And everyone paid attention to him.

"I just have fun looking at him. How could he become a minister?"  Bulgarian asked.

"Who knows. He just kissed the right asses and got his current position."  Ray answered.

"Hahaha, if he became the Minister of Magic of Bulgaria, he would be killed the next day."  Bulgarian said.

"And you ...."  wanted to ask Fudge.

But he was interrupted: "Lord Peverell. It is an honor to meet you in such a wonderful place."

Everyone turned their attention and saw Lucius, Draco and Narcissa Malfoy.

"Indeed. The world is very cramped."  Ray answered, looking at Narcissa and looking into her eyes.

{Narcissa.  My wife would like to talk to you.  Sit next to her, I guarantee you will not regret this decision.}

He saw Narcissa eyes widen a little and she nodded imperceptibly, looking towards Bella.  Seeing that a longing appeared in her eyes, as if she was recalling someone.

"Draco told me a lot about you and your wives." Lucius wanted to say something else.

"This is all wonderful. But let's put off the talk next time. The game will start soon."  said Ray.

Narcissa whispered something to Lucius and sat down next to Bella.

Lucius nodded his head approvingly.

"You are right. We can postpone this conversation."

Malfoy turned away and went to his place, which was next to the Weasley family.  And of course they started cursing.

Ray looked towards Bella and saw that she was looking into Narcissa eyes.

{Long time no see Cissi.} She said.

Narcissa eyes widened and she looked at Bella.

"Bel .." Bella laid a finger on her lips.

{Speak mentally, I made a mental contact between us.}

{Bella, is that you?  Is that really you ? But how !?  The newspaper wrote that you died.}

And Bella began to talk about her life.  She did not reveal important secrets, but told Narcissa basic information.

While Bella and Narcissa were having a conversation.  Ray idly watched what was happening.

Harry wanted to go up to Ray.  But Ray mentally told him: {They should not know that we know each other.}

Harry nodded.  He respected Ray.  Ray took the position of mentor and older brother in his heart.  Perhaps he did not help often. But he always came in dangerous moments and his advice was always useful.  It was thanks to his advice that he met Susan Bones. And thanks to her, they began parsing the case of Sirius Black.  Most likely, next summer Sirius will become a free man and all charges will be removed from him.

Ray looked toward the stadium, the game began.

 _____

"Ladies and gentlemens! Welcome! Welcome to the finals of the four hundred and twenty-second Quidditch World Cup!" Ludo Bagman spoke using * sonorus *.

The audience burst into screams and applause.  Thousands of flags fluttered. From the giant placard opposite the words were lit: BULGARIA - ZERO, IRELAND - ZERO.

"And now, without a long introduction, let me introduce you ... Talismans of the Bulgarian team!"

The right side of the stands - all in red flags roared approvingly.

Hundreds of beautiful girls ran out into the arena.  Most of the men began to drool on them. The girls were beautiful, but not as beautiful as Fleur, Gabrielle or Ray's Wives.

Ron Weasley stood up and wanted to climb over the fence.

When the Veelas began their dance, most men lost their minds.

Ray turned his head and saw that Bella and Narcissa were looking at him with a smile.

{Something happened ?  } He asked them.

{No.No . I just told Cissi about my husband and she revealed one secret to me.  Turns out Lucius is gay, can you imagine? Now I'm starting to understand why Draco constantly attacks Harry and Ron. Love .. strange phenomenon.} Bella giggled.

Ray looked at Narcissa with a question.  She simply nodded, in confirmation.

"And now, in greeting, we will raise our magic wands ... Before us are the talismans of the national team of Ireland!"  they heard Ludo's voice.

The next second, something like a huge green-gold comet flew into the stadium.  Having made a circle, it split into two smaller ones, each of which began to whistle flying in opposite directions.  Connecting two flaming balls, a rainbow suddenly appeared over the field.

These were leprechauns.

They began to scatter their magic gold.  Ron Weasley immediately start to collect him and laugh like crazy.

"I'm rich. I'm rich. HAHAHAHA. Harry help me! HAHAHAHAH. MY MONEY'S!!" He shouted.

Harry covered his face in shame with his hands.

Even Hermione and his brothers looked at Ron as garbage.

After that, Ludo began to represent the players of the national team of Bulgaria and Ireland.

When Krum flew out, the stadium burst into applause.

 _____

The game was incredible, Ray carefully watched everything that was happening.  It was many times better than Quidditch at school.

Ireland won.

"Well, they fought bravely."  the gloomy voice of the Bulgarian Minister of Magic was heard.

Ray saw how Fudge's face changed when he heard that the Bulgarian Minister understood English.  It was a good draw.

The players of the Bulgarian national team climbed into the ministerial box, and while everyone was distracted, Ray got up and went to Cissi and Bella.

"We're leaving. Now is a good opportunity."  said Ray and took their hands, starting to lead into a dark corner, from where he teleported directly to the tent.

Narcissa immediately threw herself into Bella's arms and began to cry.

"I missed you so much, sister. I thought you were dead."

Bella stroked her head and reassured her.

"Everything is fine, Cissi. Now we are together. Now everything will be as before. You do not need to return to Malfoy's house."

"You need go to the castle. Bella, take Narcissa."  Ray said.

"Do you want to stay?"  asked Bella.

"Yes. I have a bad feeling. I feel that I will regret the rest of my life if I leave now."  said Ray.

"I think those girls, Fleur and Gabrielle, will be in trouble. I can feel it too."  Bella said with a nod.

"Be sure to help them. We will be waiting for you."  said Bella and disappeared into the black shadow with Narcissa.

 ____

Ray returned to his tent and waited.  Scanning space with magic.

Fans celebrated the victory for a very long time.

Ray was tired of waiting.

But then he began to hear the alarming screams and the noise of a running crowd.

"I need to find Fleur and Gabrielle. Bella is most likely right."  Ray said out loud and began to leave the tent.

Coming out of the tent, he saw many flashes.  Many tents began to burn. He heard the mocking laughter of the attackers.

The wizards had a panic and ran like headless hens.  Most fled to the forest. That is what the barrier against apparition means.  It was one big trap.

A group of people in black robes with a hood and silver masked skulls attacked people.

Ray began using short range teleportation and appeared throughout the camp looking for Fleur and Gabrielle.

He found them very quickly.  They were both in the forest surrounded by death eaters.

 _____

"Look who we have here. Two little Veelas. Hey Mike. Let's try the younger one. I haven't had little girls for a long time."  viciously said one death eater.

"Jake, look at the older one; I'll take her."  answered the one who was called Mike.

"Gabrielle, I will distract them. Run and do not turn around. Run into the forest. I love you."  Fleur said with tears and wanted to attack the eaters ... but she did not notice how they were circumvented from the other side.

A red flash and Fleur is paralyzed on the floor.

"Sister! Fleur!" Gabrielle ran to her and began to cry.

"Veela bitch. You thought I wouldn't notice?"  The third eater said.

"Great job, Larry."  Mike told him.

"Hahahaha, now let's play." Jake said and started walking toward Gabrielle.

"No. No. Help. Mom. Dad !! Don't touch Fleur !!!"  Gabrielle screamed with tears in her eyes and started pointing at them with her wand.

<Shadow Capture>

They heard a cold voice.  But they could no longer move.

Ray stepped out of the woods and began walking toward Gabrielle and Fleur.

"You are very brave. Little Gabrielle."  Smiling softly and wiping her tears, Ray said.

<Finite>

And Fleur can move again.

"Gabrielle. Gabrielle. My little Gabrielle."  Cried and hugged her sister Fleur.

Ray, meanwhile, looked at these three scum.

"You will suffer."  He said coldly and began to draw runes right in the air.

After Ray finished, the runes connected and formed an infinity sign.  Ray poked at him and said:

<Crucio>

The sign flew to the three death eaters and entered their body.

They will endlessly feel torture from the cruciatus.  But they will not go crazy. As soon as their mind begins to break, the spell will weaken.  And this cycle will last until they die. But Ray added a mental block to the rune that prevents suicide.

He turned and went to Fleur and Gabrielle.

Sitting in front of them, he stroked the girls heads.

Fleur and Gabrielle immediately threw themselves into his arms and began to cry loudly.

"Shhh, all is well. You are safe."  Ray whispered soothingly to them.

"Thank you , thank you , thank you."  repeated Fleur.

Gabrielle just fell asleep, it was too much stress for her.  She is only 12 years old, nothing surprising.

"Do you know where your parents are? I will take you away."  Ray asked softly.

"Yes. Our tent is on the other side."  She pointed out.

"Let's go to."  Taking Gabrielle in his arms and resting her head on his chest.  Ray went in the direction indicated. Fleur did not let him go and walked beside him.

At that moment, they saw the dark mark of Voldemort appear in the sky.

Skull with a snake.

"This. It may not be, he has already died."  said Fleur softly.

"Never mind. His slaves did it."  Ray answered quietly.

After 2 minutes, an adult copy of Fleur ran out to meet them.

"Fleur! Gabrielle!" She screamed.

Gabrielle woke up and ran to her mother.

Fleur also ran into the arms of her mother.

"Maman !!!"  They screamed at the same time.

Ray realized this was the right time to disappear.

With a flash of flame, he disappeared.  But before that he freed the death eaters and activated the runes.

 _____

Living room of Peverell castle.

4 girls had fun talking and laughing.

A flash of flame interrupted their conversation when Ray appeared.

Astoria immediately jumped into his arms.

"Raaaay, you're back."  she said smiling.

Ray kissed her forehead and looked at the other girls.

"I'm at home."  he answered.

"Welcome back."  Smiling said Daphne and Bella.

Ray sat on the sofa with Astoria in his arms and began to look at Bella and Narcissa.

"Well, like this ?"  he asked.

"Say it first. Have you saved the Veelas sisters?"  asked Bella.

"Yes. You were right. They were in trouble. I'm afraid to imagine what would happen if I weren't there."  he answered.

"So Bella told the truth. You have a fetish! Another pair of sisters."  Daphne accused him.

"What!? I told you, it's just a coincidence." Embarrassed, Ray made excuses.

Everyone immediately began to laugh at him.

"Fine, fine. Laughed and that's enough."  said Ray.

"Narcissa herself will tell you." Said Bella, taking her sister's hand.

Narcissa smiled sadly and looked Ray in the eye.

"I want to thank you for saving my sister. And ... for saving me."  she said softly.

"In childhood, we were very friendly. I, Andromeda and Bella. Especially Bella always took care of me as the oldest about the youngest. Andromeda also loved us, but .... let's be honest, our relationship with Bella was much stronger than with Andromeda  Everything changed when Orion and Walburga decided that Bella and Meda should marry the Lestrange brothers, and I for Lucius Malfoy.

Once they graduated from school.  Andromeda fled with Tonks and became pregnant from him.  They wanted to bring her back, but she was already pregnant.  Therefore, she was expelled from the family. Seeing all this, they tightened Bella's marriage contract.  Well, you already know about it. As for me. Lucius always showed that I was not indifferent to him, and that he would respect me as a wife.  I never loved him, but it was impossible to spoil the relationship, otherwise he would have turned my life into hell.

After we got married, I, as his wife, was obliged to listen to him and could not betray.  He told the reason why he needed this marriage. It turns out he had an affair with his cousin from France, as a result of which she became pregnant.  But her health deteriorated sharply and after the birth of a child, she will die immediately.

I needed everyone to think that I was the mother of this child.  I think you already understand, this child is Draco.

I did not want to be his mother, Lucius was disgusting to me.  But I began to take care of him, you can call it a maternal instinct.  I wanted to raise him as my son. But Lucius forbade me to raise him, and told me to stay away.  In the end, he grew up like his copy, the same bastard.

I have no voice in this family.  Our marriage is only on paper, only by contract.  He did not even perform a ritual in which he was supposed to rob me of my virginity.  That would make me Lady Malfoy, not just on paper. Magic itself keeps track of this. He forbade me absolutely everything, I was in that house as a decoration.

Well, in the noble house Malfoy, there must be a beautiful Lady.  While he is having sex with Crabbe and Goyle. I could not even read books on magic.  I was simply exhausted and slowly dried up.

Recently, he began to actively support death eaters.  I wanted to commit suicide. If, as in the old days, the eaters would make their base out of Malfoy Manor.  I would just be used as a toy. You do not know what atrocities they organized. And that bastard Lucius will gladly share his "wife."  "In the end, she already started to cry.

All the girls had tears in their eyes.

Ray got up, put Astoria in his place and began to walk towards Narcissa.

Bella saw this and began to leave with a nod towards Astoria and Daphne.  The girls understood and left the living room.

Sitting next, Ray hugged her and began to stroke her silky hair and back.

"Do not keep everything in yourself. Crying, shout, curse. I will be here for you. And you do not need to return. You can live here. You can call this place your home. And us ... your family." Ray whispered softly.  .

"Uwaaaaaa."  Narcissa began to cry loudly.  Her mask, which she wore for 15 years, completely collapsed.  She just cried in Ray's arms.

After 30 minutes of crying, she fell asleep.

Ray lay down on the sofa and hugged Narcissa tightly, continuing to stroke his head.

[Let's leave it for the future.] He smiled and fell asleep.
