chapter 18 : World Champion

August 13, 1993 in Ireland, in a very large crowd, a most spectacular event for the wizarding world took place, the final of the Quidditch World Cup and it will pit England against Bulgaria.

(did you really think I was going to write the entire tournament?).

In the stands and more precisely the VIP area, the Weasleys were present alongside the Minister of Magic and Albus Dumbledore himself.

The family was elegant but above all proud because one of their members had carried the English team to this final and it was Ronald who was a real anomaly in this tournament by being not only the youngest player but also the more Dominant.

 « Arthur I can't believe it, it's like a dream! Our Ronald plays the Quidditch final. » Molly said in a stunning red and white dress in reference to the country's flag.

Arthur: I'm so proud of him, he did wonders in this tournament.

Percy: Even if he loses to Krum I will still be proud of him.

Fred: Percy stop jinxing...

Georges:…we bet on Ron!

Charlie: Still, this little madman does something incredible! Harry why didn't you join him?

Harry: I had some catching up time with my godfather.

Sirius: I would have been very proud Harry, as would your parents if you were on the field or the broom. It still remains incredible that the International Federation of Magical Games and Sports can allow Ron to play at his age.

"Look, the Bulgarians are coming" Ginny said from beside Luna and Hermione.

They came in red jerseys to percussion music with Viktor Krum, the best seeker leading the team and he looked like a big star.

Suddenly, the music changed and in the distance in the sky, several objects resembling comets entered the stadium leaving fireworks in the sky which took the shape of a lion's head, these were the English.

"WEASLEY *CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*"

"WEASLEY *CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*"

"WEASLEY *CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*"

The stands were ablaze with the sounds of the crowd chanting the name of the team's star while Ron was on his broom and lazily lying on his back.

We didn't know how he did it but the movements of the broom didn't seem to bother him as the girls in the stands threw bouquets of flowers in his direction, Ron had shoulder-length hair.

Luna: What a braggart! He impresses them all.

Ginny: Why are you blushing?! In my opinion, my brother only has you in his eyes.

Hermione:…

"GO ROOOON!" » Harry shouted as his friend lined up with the other players.

Because at school he played at the same time as him, Harry didn't realize how strong Ron was but he was blown away watching him from the stands.

Once all the players were lined up perfectly, the Minister of Magic stood up from his seat and pointed his wand at his throat to amplify his voice with magic.

Minister: Ladies and gentlemen, as Minister of Magic, I have the great pleasure of welcoming each and every one of you my friends to the final of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup... THE MATCH BEGIN !

He gave the signal to the shouts of the crowd and the quaffle was thrown just like the bludgers and the golden Snitch.

No Bulgarian chaser had the quaffle as it was already in the hands of Ron who scored the first ten points for England with insolent ease.

The Bulgarians recovered the ball and tried to pass between and score but thanks to a feint from one of the English batsmen, Ron recovered the quaffle and made a very long pass to one of his teammates who scored.

Since the start of the competition, the English understood how dangerous Ron was and trained with him several times to use his potential to the fullest and they were a real steamroller in this competition.

The match progressed and the score was 120 to 70 in favor of the English, only missing three shots of 10 points and they were champions.

As Ron had just made another assist that got them up to 130 points, he looked up to see Viktor Krum flying after the Golden Snitch getting closer and closer.

"You can still dream…" he said smiling before observing the golden Snitch to anticipate his trajectory and he rushed.

Krum had been flying behind the golden ball for some time but when he was at a good distance to grab it, Ron flew in front of him horizontally and caught the golden Snitch in the fibers of his broom at speed which caused that Viktor loses sight of his target.

Harry: That bastard really dared to do that to Viktor!!!?

Angry, Viktor looked towards Ron who was standing on his broom like a surfboard. Ron looked for his team's Seeker and smiled.

 « MICKEY !! » He shouted and when the seeker looked at him, Ron jumped off his broom, grabbed the handle with his hand and whipped the tail of the broom towards MICKEY and the golden Snitch who was stuck in the fibers at the back was propelled towards MICKEY who caught it by pure reflex.

For a moment, the audience and other players were silent because of what had just happened.

Krum who was looking for the Golden Snitch saw it in the hands of the opposing seeker and he then looked at Ron realizing what really came from this past as he unconsciously stopped breathing for a few seconds.

[Entities ] 

"WOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH" Reality, Eternity and Death shouted at the same time, their hair was now red and they were wearing supporters' shirts for the England team. 

[Alternate Reality] 

The crowd began to roar as England had just won the World Cup thanks to a crazy shot from the young English prodigy.

"This child is really scary...so scary..." Dumbledore said clapping as McGonagall nearby Screamed in fan gear.

The Weasleys were going crazy while even Luna screamed with joy.

"You really got me earlier ! I've never seen anyone plays like you" Viktor Krum stepped forward and held out his hand towards Ron who took it smiling.

Ron: You almost beat us, if I hadn't noticed you at that moment you would have won. Nice match.

Viktor: One day we will take our revenge on the field!

Ron: With pleasure.

When Viktor left, Ron's teammates came to greet him, he had literally given them victory and if he didn't care about this sport, for them he had just made one of their dreams come true.

Very quickly, they proceeded to award the prizes and trophies. Gawain, the captain of the England team let Ron carry the world trophy and they flew away with the cup leaving a trail of starry powder behind them.

"WEASLEY *CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*" they started chanting his name again.

Later the team freed Ron who went to join his family in their tent and he was given a hero's welcome by Cedric and everyone, Dumbledore and McGonagall had already left for school as they had another important event coming up. prepare there.

It was celebrated by everyone with Molly crying tears of joy. Harry and Hermione also congratulated him but when he got closer to Luna, she gave him a kiss on the cheek before praising him with a tomato face.

Arthur and Molly looked at each other smiling while Fred and George started to tease him by imitating a loving couple behind.

While the mood was festive, outside there was a lot of commotion and sounds of explosions were heard.

Ron went out with his father, Xenophilius Lovegood and Amos Diggory to watch what happened and immediately returned to tell the family to evacuate the premises because there was an attack.

When everyone came out, Ron clapped his hands twice and the tent spun around before disappearing.

They all headed towards the Portkey, Harry almost got swept away in the crowd with Ginny but Fred and George held them back.

They all arrived at the boot and touched it to be transported to the place they came from, a cliff not far from Weasley Manor.

Amos: For God's sake, what happened there!

Xenophilius: It was clearly an attack, I must write it in my diary quickly!

Cédric: Yes, but an attack from whom?

Arthur: I don't know, my child. What I am sure of is that we will find out in the next issue of the Daily Prophet. We're all safe, that's all that matters.

Luna and Ron were sitting off to the side and he had her in his arms.

Ron: Are you okay?

Luna: I was a little scared.

"Meeeow" Lucius meowed while rubbing Luna's leg who carried him.

Luna: Your cat is definitely not normal, I could have sworn we left him there.

"You underestimate Lucius!" Ron said mockingly, his cat could disappear into the shadows and reappear wherever he wanted.
