They wore hats woven from green clover.
Ron, Seamus, Terry, and other young wizards who supported Ireland also bought some of these bright green hats and happily wore them on their heads.
Poor Ron, he inadvertently revealed his fate.
Even larger than the green waves is the sea of red and white roses.
Many little witches joined the ranks of those supporting the Underworld because red roses or white roses are always much prettier than green hats.
This day was nothing short of a Hogwarts carnival.
The young wizards dressed in their finest attire, their enthusiasm even more fervent than the summer sun.
Zhang Qiu wore a bright red cheongsam adorned with golden peony patterns. The slit in the cheongsam revealed Zhang Qiu's long legs, which swayed gently with her steps.
Her black hair was styled into an elegant bun, adorned with a vibrant red peony that complemented the color of her cheongsam.
Hermione wore an elegant white lace knee-length ladylike dress, her soft, fluffy curls cascading down her back, with a delicate pink and white rose tucked behind her ear, adding to her charm.
Penelope was dressed to the nines, wearing a purple strapless mini dress, her long golden curls were neatly styled into a low ponytail, and a violet flower was inserted in her hair, making her look like a noble princess.
Zhang Qiu leaned against the fence, looking confidently at Hermione in the sunlight, like a gardener admiring the beautiful flowers in a garden.
Hermione seemed to sense her gaze and looked up, just in time to catch her still looking away.
Zhang Qiu smiled gently and said, "You look even more beautiful and charming today than usual."
Hermione turned to look into Cho Chang's eyes, trying to decipher the deeper meaning in her words.
A flood of doubts welled up inside her: why had Zhang Qiu appeared so confident in front of her these past two months?
At that moment, Luna arrived like a gust of wind, bringing laughter wherever she went.
The wide skirt hugged her tightly, and the low-cut corset accentuated her figure.
The other little witches wore only one rose, but she was adorned with far more roses. However, instead of wearing them on her head, she wore them around her collar, where roses of all sizes were piled up like a mountain, forming a high ruff collar, making her look like a fairy who had rolled up a sea of roses.
Luna's uniqueness made her stand out among a group of little witches dressed in cool summer skirts.
Luna didn't care about people's ridicule and gossip.
She put on a pair of colorful anti-demon glasses and gently patted the air with her hands, as if to dispel those unseen disturbances.
Hermione stared at Luna in surprise, forgetting to answer Cho Chang's question.
Zhang Qiu's gaze was also drawn to Luna, and the two remained silent as they looked at each other.
“Now,” Ludo Bagman’s voice boomed, “raise your wands in the air… welcome the Irish national team’s mascot!”
"What's that?" Penelope looked at the arena in surprise.
"A giant, shimmering ball!"
"Spherical fireworks."
Exclamations of surprise erupted from the crowd as they wondered what kind of creature it was.
A huge, shimmering clover rose high into the air and began to hover above the stands.
Something started falling from above with a pattering sound, like golden raindrops.
It's gold coins!
People cheered while scrambling and grabbing at the coins, or crawling under their seats to pick them up.
Hermione squinted and carefully observed the clover, discovering that it was actually made up of countless little people wearing red vests and sporting mustaches.
"It's an Irish leprechaun!" Hermione exclaimed amidst cheers.
The giant clover disappeared, and the goblins slowly descended to the seats reserved in the arena, where they sat down cross-legged.
“I don’t know what could be better than gold coins!” Ron said, beaming as he held a large handful of gold coins.
“Of course, nothing is better than Ireland’s mascot!” Seamus stuffed the gold coin into his pocket with satisfaction.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. Please allow me to introduce the mascot of the Yin Kingdom's national team!"
The sea of roses immediately erupted in loud cheers.
“I wonder what they brought,” Simo said, leaning forward from his seat.
"Ah!" He exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise. "What is that?"
Three enormous creatures flapped their wings and entered the field.
Those were three fire dragons.
One red, two white.
0???????
The white dragons each carried a gliding ball, while the red dragon carried a Quake ball.
Just like the logo on the Yin Kingdom team.
"They actually brought a fire dragon onto the court!"
Terry's eyes were fixed on the field.
"Aren't they afraid that the fire dragon will cause trouble and hurt people? Fire dragons are the most uncontrollable magical creatures."
Simo complained loudly.
Ron nodded repeatedly in agreement; he was ready to run away at any moment.
At this moment, the fire dragon in the arena appeared quite docile, showing none of its original irritability.
They spread their wings in the air and changed formations.
"Are they drawing?" Terry asked suspiciously.
“What does it say?” Ron stared intently at their performance, trying to discern their flight paths.
"The flag of the Yin Kingdom!" Ximo scoffed, touching the four-leaf clover on his head.
To be fair, as fire dragons, it's already quite impressive that they can perform.
This is a fire dragon! We should be thankful if it doesn't cause trouble. If it can even manage to change its formation, that's a blessing from God, isn't it?
"Is that all?" Simon shrugged dismissively.
But many more spectators cheered.
How many years has it been?
Ever since the Yin Kingdom team foolishly chose a fire dragon as their mascot, they have never made a normal entrance.
Every single time, it requires twenty or thirty dragon trainers to surround the area, ready to prevent any accidents from happening, and yet, every single time, some kind of accident does occur.
Even if the dragon is trained to be very obedient, it will become a different person on the noisy court.
The various noises on the field could easily irritate the Fire Dragon.
This means that every World Cup, the Chinese national team spends more money on dragon training and compensation than on the players.
After a confident scrutiny, Hermione's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and exclaimed, "It's Miss Katlana Presto!"
Penelope glanced at Hermione with a puzzled look. What did this have to do with Miss Presto?
Hermione clearly noticed Penelope's confusion and explained, "Miss Presto used to live in South America. She came to the Underworld after helping Levin and his crew complete their dragon-slaying mission. She's a dragon expert."
“Sure enough, I see Miss Presto.” Penelope looked around and spotted Onyxia. “She’s on the red dragon’s back.”
“Right? I’ve always heard Levin say she’s good at dealing with fire dragons, but I never imagined she could train them so well,” Hermione exclaimed.
Ludo Bagman, the host, also loudly praised Onyxia—also known as Miss Katrana Prestor, or Director Prestor—who has now been promoted to Director of the Office of Beasts and the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control—for her help in controlling the mascots of the Underworld.
Soon, the three fire dragons obediently landed in the rest area.
This is the first successful mascot performance by the Yin Guo team.
In the past, some superstitious fans believed that the reason why the Chinese national team, despite being so strong, had never won a championship was because they had chosen the wrong mascot.
The scene unfolded before the fans' eyes, and many felt it was a good omen.

Chapter 264 Significantly Ahead
"Now, ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm welcome to the Irish Quidditch national team!" Bagman shouted loudly. "Entering the field are—Connolly! Ryan! Troy! Mallett! Moran! Quigley! And—and—Linzie!"
Seven blurry green figures flew towards the arena. If you have a panoramic telescope and slow down the team members' movements, you can see that their flying brooms are printed with "fire crossbow bolts" and that their names are embroidered with silver thread on their backs.
"Now, please welcome the England Quidditch Team! Let me introduce you to Avery Hawksworth!"
Avery quickly flew into the sky, waving to everyone, and he won enthusiastic cheers.
“Cirella Rayanlun!”
A second red and white figure shot out in a flash; she flew so fast it was almost invisible. She won the enthusiastic cheers of the young wizards.
“Look, it’s Shira!” they shouted.
"She's our Ravenclaw senior!" the eagles shouted.
Cirella swept over the stands of each college, waving to them with a carefree air, which elicited another cheer.
"Next up is Levin Green—"
When mentioning Levin, Bagman deliberately dragged out the last syllable.
But what sprang out of the lounge was not a figure riding a broom, but a monster with a lion's head, eagle's wings, badger's claws, and snake's tail, exuding a high-spirited and enthusiastic aura.
"It's Levin!"
"Levin's Animagus is a Chimera!"
"That's the chimera symbolizing the fusion of the four houses. Levin is the pride of Hogwarts!"
The young wizards shouted and yelled, venting their excitement!
When Chimei let out a triumphant roar, the entire audience erupted in cheers.
Infected by the cheers of the young wizards, the roar that inspired courage successfully stirred the hearts of everyone, and even the supporters of the Irish team couldn't help but shout.
The atmosphere in the stadium reached its peak, and even the Irish team was awestruck by the scene.
They couldn't understand why a fledgling wizard could attract so much popularity.
