Chapter 226: Confessed

"I've never seen so many wizards gathered in one place.

Cho was astonished. She came from a family of wizards, and Diagon Alley was the busiest place she had ever seen, with a lot of wizards.

Every year, before the start of the school semester, Diagon Alley was bustling with people.

But compared to what they were seeing now, it was a lot of people.

Arthur nodded in agreement.

Thousands of people slowly squirmed inside dozens of ticket gates.

"It can fit up to a hundred thousand spectators, and the Ministry of Magic has been busy with this for a whole year.

Mr. Weasley's voice came from behind them. His family and Harry had somehow squeezed in behind Arthur.

"Every inch of this place has been enchanted with Muggle-repelling charms. It's a massive project, and there are only a few countries in the world that can achieve this.

Mr. Weasley explained.

Arthur had wanted to ask about that Eastern country's capabilities, but a force from the highest dimension made him wisely shut his mouth and not mention that place again.

"Here, I won't be giving Christmas presents.

Arthur said this with a smile as he handed out the Binoculars.

"Binoculars!"

Ron exclaimed with surprise. He had just wanted to buy one, but he was short on money.

The others also happily received their binoculars and thanked Arthur.

They successfully entered the sports stadium under Mr. Weasley's leadership.

Both tickets were first-class, but Arhut's box was in the center, offering a good view of both sides, while Weasley's box was behind one of the goals.

Sitting in the box, Arthur noticed that Cho's parents and Luna's father hadn't appeared, which was a bit strange.

"They're in the Ministry's box, so they won't be coming."

Luna explained.

"Dad said he wanted to watch from the bottom, where the atmosphere is better," Cho added.

With the girls' explanations, Arthur understood the situation.

It was even better this way—there were only Arthur and the three girls in the entire room.

At that moment, the door to the box was suddenly pushed open, and a golden-haired girl rushed in.

"Arthur, I'm here! Thanks for the potion!"

Astoria rushed toward Arthur and jumped into his arms.

Arthur quickly picked up the little witch because he was afraid she might fall.

The last time he drew cards, Arthur unexpectedly got a bottle of Holy Potion, which he sent to Astoria.

Seeing her current state, it seemed that she had fully recovered.

"Astoria, get down quickly; what if you fall?

Mrs. Greengrass's voice came from the door. She entered the box and respectfully bowed to Arthur.

"Thank you, Mr. Gaunt; all the curses on Astoria have disappeared."

Saying this, she was very excited. She was in more pain than anyone else because her daughter had endured curse-based torture.

Originally, Astoria only had a lifespan of over thirty years, and when she reached a certain age, she would meet the same fate as the ancestors of the Greengrass family—passing away in her prime.

Now, with Arthur's help, she finally felt relieved, but she wasn't sure if future generations of the Greengrass family would still be cursed.

Seeing the girls around Arthur, Mrs. Greengrass made a decision in her heart.

"Ma'am, don't say that. Astoria is my good friend, and I won't let her suffer.

Arthur patted Astoria's head, telling her to come down. Her mother was still there, and it wouldn't be right for him to take so much advantage.

But Astoria stubbornly shook her head, refusing to come down no matter what.

Cho helplessly looked at this scene; she knew she was gaining another sister.

After all, Astoria's feelings had been quite obvious before, and now with Arthur saving her, there was no escape.

"I still need to go see some old friends. Astoria, I'll leave her in your care.

Mrs. Greengrass said after her change in attitude, she was relieved to see her daughter growing up and following her happiness.

After saying that, she left the box, thoughtfully closing the door behind her. Alvin was stunned.

Your daughter is basically going to eat me alive, and you don't care?

As Mrs. Greengrass left, Astoria lifted her head, her eyes shining brightly at Arthur.

"Arthur, be my girlfriend!"

???

Everyone in the room had question marks floating above their heads.

"Ah, no, that's not right. Be my boyfriend!"

Astoria quickly corrected herself, gazing expectantly at him.

"No,"

Arthur replied coldly, looking somewhat disdainful as he placed the little witch next to Cho, rejecting her in advance.

"Why not?"

The little witch was stunned; she hadn't expected Arthur to refuse.

"You're too young!"

His words struck her heart. Astoria looked at Cho, Luna, Nagini, and finally at herself. At this moment, she seemed to understand something while also seeming confused.

"Alright, the match is about to start. Let's focus on the game.

Cho jumped in to intervene. She knew Arthur's intentions; it wasn't about that aspect but rather about emotional maturity.

Astoria had been too well protected since childhood, like a little girl who hadn't grown up yet. In a few years, when she matured a bit more, things would naturally fall into place.

The opening ceremony was already starting with the mascot parade. To everyone's surprise, the Bulgarian team's mascot was Veela!

Their hair fluttered without wind, and their skin shone like moonlight. Even as a girl, Cho couldn't help but admit that Veela's beauty was irresistible.

When the Veela entered, everyone went crazy.

Cho clearly saw some people in the lower stands trying to rush onto the pitch to get close to them, but was knocked down by others nearby.

She subconsciously looked at Arthur and saw that he remained calm, admiring the Veela's dance with an appreciative gaze.

She felt relieved.

However, Cho also remembered that Arthur's fiancée in France was a Veela!

The pressure in her heart increased, and she glanced at Arthur with a bit of resentment.

Feeling Cho's gaze, Arthur turned his head in confusion, only to see her coldly snort and turn away, not looking at him.

???

Arthur was confused.

What did I do? Why is Cho angry again?

Floating in the air, Ravenclaw witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

Ah, to be young—that's wonderful!
