Chapter 459: Narcissa Malfoy

"Ivan, Harry, Ron, how was your vacation?" Seamus asked smiling, pointing to the clover covered tent, "How were the decorations? The Ministry isn't too happy."

"I don't see any fuss here, why shouldn't we show our colors?" Mrs. Finnigan came over and said, "You should see what the Bulgarians have hanging in their tents. That's the behavior that should be banned. By the way, you three will support Ireland, of course..." she added, looking at Ivan, Harry and Ron with her eyes sparkling.

Only after receiving a positive response did he let them move on.

"Surrounded by that group, can we say anything else?" Ron whispered. "I wonder what the Bulgarians have hanging from their tents."

They soon learned that on the other side of the camp, Bulgarian flags were hanging everywhere.

Besides the flags, the tents were not adorned with plantings, but each one had the same poster pasted on it, a poster of a very sullen face with heavy, black eyebrows, and the eyes in his face blinked n and frowned constantly.

"I know him. It's Victor Krum, the Bulgarian Seeker!" Ron said excitedly.

"Is he any good?" Harry asked.

"He's amazing, and he's very young, only about 18, but he's also a genius! Wait until tonight, you'll see." Ron seemed to have done his homework. "In all the previous games, he was the first to catch the Golden Snitch."

Ivan looked carefully at Krum's poster and, truth be told, he had no affection for the guy.

"He's about 18, so he hasn't even graduated from school yet!" Harry was well aware of this. "It's really amazing to represent Bulgaria in the World Cup before graduation."

"That's why he's a genius, a natural Seeker" Said Ron.

"I don't think Harry is any worse than him. He can catch the Golden Snitch very quickly, and he can do it by instinct without any professional training. Maybe he's better than Krum!" said Ivan. "To me, Harry just lacks opportunities, or he can play for England."

Hearing Ivan's compliment, Harry's face turned red, but he wasn't too embarrassed.

In Ivan's opinion, what he said wasn't too much.

If it wasn't for Voldemort, Harry could have become a professional Quidditch player like Krum.

He had great potential in Quidditch, and what he lacked was an opportunity to show his strength to the outside world.

But the Savior's career was obviously more promising than that of a Seeker, and Harry himself preferred to be an Auror.

What's more, unlike Bulgaria, the British Quidditch team wouldn't want a student who hadn't yet graduated.

Listening to Ron talk about Krum's previous matches, they moved on.

The four of them hurried through the fanatical Bulgarian fan zone toward the edge of the pitch.

After crossing a stream, they came to an advanced camping area specially planned by the Ministry of Magic.

The tents here were obviously more beautiful than the others, and most of them belonged to the wizards in the higher statues.

Many tents had gardens at the entrance, planted with rare plants and many animals.

Among them, Ivan even saw a Clabbert.

The Clabbert is a magical creature that lives in trees and is native to the southern states of America.

In appearance, it is something like a cross between a monkey and a frog. Its smooth, hairless skin is mottled green, its hands and feet are webbed, and its arms and legs are long and flexible.

It has a disproportionately wide mouth on its head, which seems to always be smiling.

This magical creature is docile and feeds on small lizards and birds.

The Clabbert's most distinctive feature is the large pustule in the middle of its forehead, which turns scarlet and flickers every night.

In the past, American magicians used to raise Clabberts in their gardens.

At night, if a tree was covered with the glowing pustules of Clabberts, it would obviously be very decorative.

It resembled the colored lights on a Christmas tree.

Because of this, the number of Clabberts had been declining, and it soon became a prized species.

The International Confederation of Magicians had to take punitive measures to protect the Clabberts, which had become very rare.

Until now, the practice of breeding Clabberts had all but disappeared and was rarely seen.

I didn't expect to actually see it here.

Compared to the rare Clabberts, the people he saw later were not very nice.

In front of an extremely luxurious tent, Ivan saw Draco Malfoy in a dark blue wizard robe.

His skin was very pale, with a pointed face and white-blond hair.

Behind him was his mother, Narcissa Malfoy, who was also fair-skinned and blonde. She would have been very pretty if she hadn't had a look that suggested there was an unpleasant odor under her nose.

Sirius stopped, obviously after seeing Narcissa.

Then Narcissa saw Sirius as well. They looked at each other and the atmosphere was tense.

After all, Narcissa was Sirius' cousin, and the two families used to be very close.

In Kreacher the house elf's eyes, Narcissa had always been his mistress.

It was said that the latter part of Sirius' mother's life was spent with Narcissa.

It stood to reason that with so many ties, the relationship between the two would be a good one.

However, it was obvious that Sirius had no affection for Narcissa, just like his relationship with other members of the Black family.

Looking at her face, he obviously remembered something unpleasant.

The same was true of Narcissa, who seemed to want to say hello, but in the end only nodded her head.

She did it so slightly, it could easily be overlooked.

Immediately, her eyes fell on Ivan, Harry and Ron along with Sirius.

Draco Malfoy whispered something in her ear and Narcissa's lips curled slightly.

There was a hidden dislike in her eyes, especially when she looked at Ivan.

Both the Malfoy and Black families had always prided themselves on being pure-blooded wizards.

In their traditional concept, Muggle wizards like Ivan were inferior.

But perhaps because Sirius was there, she didn't go over to speak, but instead glanced at them.

Soon, Narcissa returned to her tent.

Draco looked contemptuously at Ivan, Harry and Ron and followed her into the tent.
