A man stalked into the top box with a wide grin. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, rather short and fat. He looked around and found the minister speaking to Charles and Mr. Oblansk.
"Everyone ready?" The man beamed with excitement, "Minister? Ready to go?"
"Whenever you are, Ludo?" Minister Fudge said. That's when the blonde man whipped out his wand and placed it to his throat and said "sonorous." When he spoke it boomed over all the sounds in the stadium reaching every part of it.
"Ladies and Gentleman... welcome!" He said brightly. The stadium cheered, "Welcome to the final of the four hundred and twenty-second Quidditch World Cup!" The spectators in the stadium erupted into even louder cheers.
"Now, without further ado, allow me to introduce the Bulgarian National Team Mascot!"
Everyone leaned a bit forward to see who it was going to be. In the row in front of Céline she heard someone, who she thought was Ron's father, say "Veela!"
A hundred Veela came out to the field. They were beautiful women with white-gold hair and luminous skin. When she glanced around all the males around her were leaning at the edge of their seats a bit more.
She looked at her friends in front of her, Harry and Ron, who were doing the same. Hermione just looked amazed like Céline did. Céline looked at Draco who looked like he was in a trance. She couldn't help but feel a bit bothered by it and before she could stop herself she stepped on his foot.
He jumped a little from being startled. He looked at his foot with a frown and then looked at Céline who had quickly looked back to the field, pretending to look intrigued by the performance. "Did you step on my feet?" He hissed at her.
She looked at him innocently confused, "I don't know what you're talking about?" She smiled sweetly at him, looking back at the field again. He wasn't used to her smiling at him. So when she did, it caught him off guard. He didn't push it further as he looked back to the field.
He felt his cheeks warm a little. He tried to focus back on the performance of the veelas, but wasn't really able to. He felt a familiar tug in his chest, a feeling he had figured out the meaning of. He made a sideways glance towards Céline. She was smiling at the performance, looking amazed. His cheeks warmed even more, before he furrowed his eyebrows and looked back at the veelas subtly clearing his throat.
The crowd throughout the stadium yelled as the veelas left the field, not wanting them to leave. Céline shook her head, as she watched Harry and Ron being stopped by Hermione. They looked like they were about to jump out from the stadium.
"And now..." the announcer, Ludo, voice binned again, "kindly hold your wands out to the air for the Irish National Team Mascots!"
At the moment, what looked like a comet of greens and golds split into two and zoomed around the stadium toward the gold post. A rainbow appeared suddenly across the field, Celine's mouth jaw dropped in amazement. Everyone roared in excitement as the two comets came together and formed a giant shamrock, circling around the stadium again.
More eruptions of cheers came from the stadium and as the shamrock came over Céline and the others' area, it rained down heavy with gold coins over their heads. The boys in front of Céline all jumped in excitement trying to catch fist full from the air. She even caught a glimpse of Draco trying to grab one.
As soon as she stuck her hand out in hopes to catch one, it was slapped down quickly by her father. She tried not to look surprised when she looked at him. He gave her a look of disapproval before looking back at the field. She looked down at her lap for a moment as she fiddled her fingers. After she collected herself, she looked back out to the performance.
