"Oh, you're already here" Fudge said, coming towards us.

He then stopped in front of Sirius, not sparing a second glance at Remus or my family, which even though it was somewhat rude was still a relief.

"How are you, Mr. Black? I hope the VIP box is to your liking," Fudge said, extending his hand to Sirius with a friendly smile, as if they were old friends.

"I'm fine. And here could be better, but I guess you could say it's not too bad." Sirius shrugged, ignoring the minister's outstretched hand as he glared at Lucius.

"Oh... Hehe" Fudge laughed awkwardly, slowly lowering his hand, "I'm sure your opinion will change when the match starts" he said, clearly unaware of the tense atmosphere in the box.

He then turned to Lucius, who maintained his appearance of superiority and arrogance.

"I guess you guys already know each other, right?" Fudge asked, "Lucius here was also invited by me to watch the match here in the box, and accompanying him is his wife and his son."

"Yes, I know him" Sirius said flatly, before looking at Narcissa, "Hello cousin"

"Hello Sirius" Narcissa said lightly, and I could hear a hint of other emotion in her voice.

'So even a bigoted, snobbish purist can show affection to her cheating cousin' I mused.

But my moment of reflection was interrupted by Lucius's voice.

"I take it you've brought quite a large group with you," he said to Sirius, not hiding his disgust at our presence.

"Yes, is there a problem with that?" Sirius asked as he looked into Lucius's eyes, not taking a single step back as he maintained a firm yet dangerous posture.

And Lucius seemed to understand that the situation would not end well if he continued to antagonize Sirius, especially now that he was the lord of House Black, which had a certain superiority when compared to House Malfoy.

And snorting Lucius broke eye contact with Sirius, tapping his cane lightly on the floor.

"Let's sit down, the match is about to start and I'm sure Mr. Black will want to enjoy this time with his family and... friends" Lucius said slowly, sweeping his gaze over our entire group, showing an expression of disdain when he saw the Weasleys.

Seeing that look, Mr. Weasley blushed, and just as he was about to get up to say a few words to the hair gel prince, Lucius turned and left, ignoring us as he led his family to their designated places.

Going to their seats, Narcissa took one last look at Sirius with a hint of sadness in her gaze, before taking a deep breath and straightening her shoulders and sitting down.

And Malfoy, who would usually love this moment to mock the other Weasleys, Hermione or Harry, remained silent, and I couldn't tell if it was because he was afraid of me or because he didn't want to intrude on his father's conversation.

But looking at him I could see that he wasn't even looking in our direction, deciding to remain looking down.

'Yes, he's still scared of me, even with his father present here' I thought, frowning.

Realizing this I sighed, before turning back to looking straight ahead.

'Well, at least that means he won't try to make a fuss about my parents being here... I hope'

"Sir, it's time to start the match" a ministry official who was at the door came and whispered to Fudge.

"Hmm?" Fudge glanced at him before looking at his watch, seeing that it really was time to start the game.

"Well, I guess this is your Ludo moment" Fudge said to Bagman, who inched forward with an excited look.

Arriving in front of the balcony of the cabin Bagman pulled out his wand before pointing it at his neck, casting a {Sonorus} on himself.

Bagman then began with the opening speech, which immediately excited everyone in the stadium.

And I, who had no interest in that, kept looking at the fans in the other stands, with me having fun with their singing and animation, who were not sparing emotion or voice to show how much they liked Quidditch and supported their teams.

"And now, without further ado, I present to you... The mascots of the Bulgarian team!!" and with that phrase by Bagman a light and rosy red glow filled the field and stands, with the Bulgarian fans screaming excitedly.

And entering the field while dancing and singing were more than a hundred beautiful and seductive women, which aroused the interest of almost all the men and some women.

As soon as the Veelas show started I felt an intrusion into my mind, and it wasn't too hard to see that this was the effect of the allure of the Veela trying to seduce me.

I was already prepared to use my Occlumency to stop this intrusion, but it wasn't necessary, as the allure had no effect on me.

Well, to say it had no effect would be a lie, as in fact for some reason as soon as I felt the allure trying to tempt me an anger surged through me.

Suppressing that feeling I sat back down quietly, as I looked around to see all the men drooling or at least trying to control themselves.

And looking to the side I was surprised to see that neither Remus nor Sirius were too affected by the Veela's allure, with Sirius not even moving.

And looking back I saw that the other guests in the box were in a different situation, screaming and trying to get the Veelas' attention.

And as I ran my gaze over them I glanced at Astoria, who looked at me with a surprised look, before smiling satisfied and a little... proud.

'Strange...' I thought, looking back at the performance of the beautiful avian women, who were finishing their dance.

Also a little stunned by the Veelas, Bagman needed some time to recover, and when he did he cleared his throat.

"Well, that was an amazing performance!" he said, ignoring the sad exclamations of some men who wanted to keep looking at the women on the field, "And now, raise your wands high... to welcome the team of Ireland mascots!"

And then, in a burst of green and gold light, a bright blur appeared like a comet, looping across the field before splitting in two to gather at the top of the stadium, taking the shape of a large four-leaf clover.

The clover then started to shake until it exploded, and some golden sparkles began to fall lightly on everyone, and picking up one of these sparkles I could see that it was a gold coin.

"It's Leprechauns!" Bill said, looking at the falling gold coins that created a golden glow on the field.

And as Ron celebrated his newfound 'wealth' I looked at the coin with my Magic Vision, seeing that unlike a normal Galleon that was enchanted with spells and runes, this coin was entirely made of magic.

And ending their own presentation the Leprechauns went down to the field, sitting on the opposite side of the Veelas to await the match.

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, the ones you've all been waiting for! The teams that made it to this final with a lot of effort and skill!" Bagman exclaimed, as euphoric as the fans of both teams, "Let's welcome the Bulgarian national Quidditch team!"

And with that phrase, flying at great speeds onto the field was the red and black team of Bulgaria, with the one leading the team being the so famous Seeker, Viktor Krum.

And seeing this 17 year old player I could only shake my head, not because Krum was doing tricks on his Firebolt, but because as soon as he saw him Ron started screaming like a passionate fangirl.

'Sigh... I don't know what's worse, him now acting like a hysterical fangirl or him being all paranoid and spiteful in the Triwizard tournament' I thought, already feeling a headache coming on.

End.
