... George wandered off in search of their friend Lee, and Angelina and Alicia, two of Gryffindor's chasers, whom they had made plans to meet up with before the match. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny wandered in the direction of the stalls that various vendors had erected. By luck, they managed to find Susan and Neville before they had wandered too far. Augusta and Amelia had made arrangements for their charges to spend the night in the Weasleys' tents, as Augusta wasn't attending the match, and Amelia could barely swing the time to go to the game, let alone spend the night afterwards. The six friends wandered around, looking at the various vendors and purchasing souvenirs. Ginny bought a tall Irish hat, and Ron purchased a Krum action figure, revering the Bulgarian seeker for his talent. Ginny caught Harry's eye and had to look away before she started laughing.

Ireland definitely had the better chasers, but their seeker couldn't even compare to Victor Krum, who was the youngest professional seeker in the league, and played for his home team of Bulgaria. The twins had confided in Harry that they had placed a bet with Ludo Bagman that Ireland would win, but Krum would catch the snitch. They were trying to save up enough money to open their own joke shop after graduation.
