Chapter 325 323 Quidditch World Cup (I)

To participate in a Quidditch match, especially the opening ceremony, you need to get up early and leave early in the morning to make it in time.

This is not because the game is set at this time, but because of the venue of the Quidditch World Cup, but because of the preparation time required,

If a Quidditch game goes well, it may end in a few hours, but if it doesn't go well, it can last as long as it takes. There was a game in the last Quidditch game that lasted for five full days. You know, Quidditch matches never end in one game, but in a series, with the total score calculated at the end. As you can imagine, that Quidditch World Cup took more than half a year to end.

Some of the spectators of such a long game may only want to watch one or two games, which is okay, but there are always some people who want to watch the entire World Cup, so they need to arrange a place to live (according to the Wizards vs. Quebecois) Due to Diqi's fanaticism, most people want to watch the entire game except for having to leave.)

The venue for the Quidditch match itself is not small, plus the place where the wizards live. Although they use tents that have been casted with a traceless stretch spell, they still require a large area. This requires the organizers of the World Cup and The Muggles have communicated and dealt with it.

Most of the time, there will be some kind of large-scale camping activity except for Muggles. However, the oblivion spell over and over again still requires wizards to use it.

In short, many things, including venue planning, result in it taking a long time to deal with trivial matters before the World Cup starts, and this time is the reason why spectators need to go to the venue in advance.

In fact, before the World Cup officially starts, the organizer's Ministry of Magic has been preparing for it for several months. They first need to find a suitable occasion. There will be about a hundred thousand wizards coming to watch the World Cup, and these people are not It may be packed into some places that are not easy to see, such as platform nine and three-quarters of King's Cross Station. Therefore, they often take some measures to choose the location in a deserted swamp and other places. At the same time, they will rush to The time to go there is staggered,

Because Feeney and the others had an exclusive ticket package for the Black family, they only had to feel good in the early morning of the opening ceremony.

Some wizards who buy very cheap tickets even need to go there two weeks in advance. Some need to use Muggle transportation, and some use magic. These are clearly stated on the tickets.

In the early hours of Monday morning, Leah came to Feeney's room and gently patted his shoulder.

"Finnie, Finney, we gotta go,"

Feeney opened his eyes in confusion, and looked at Leah in front of him. She might not have woken up yet, so she was a little confused. The expression on her face was very surprised.

Finny rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly, then closed his eyes as if he was planning to restart his system. After a moment, he opened his eyes again and recalled the reason why Leah came to him.

"Are you leaving? I'll get up right away,"

Feeney muttered and sat up from the bed.

Seeing that Feeney had gotten up, Leah turned and left his room. Although they were engaged, it would still be a bit embarrassing for a teenage girl to watch the person she likes changing clothes.

Feeney didn't pay attention, silently changed his clothes, washed himself up, and then walked downstairs.

At this time, everyone was breathing hard and eating breakfast in the living room on the second floor.

"How do we get there?"

When Harry saw Feeney coming downstairs, he stood up quickly and asked Feeney,

It was obvious that Harry was very excited to go to the Quidditch match.

Although Draco did not target Harry because of Finny, Harry still became the seeker of the Gryffindor team in the first grade, and his love for Quidditch was as fanatical as the original book.

"We portkey over,"

Sirius came downstairs with a cup of coffee. It could be seen that he had woken up a long time ago and was just resting upstairs.

Well, in fact, Sirius is also looking forward to this Quidditch World Cup, but it is normal to imagine. After all, he has been in Azkaban for eleven years, missed two World Cups and has not watched Quidditch for a long time. It’s a strange game, and I can understand my expectations.

Hope looked at Sirius with some confusion.

"Aren't you going to apparate? I remember Finny also mastered this magic,"

Sirius shook his head and said,

"Apparition is of course possible, but only you, me and Finny have mastered this magic here. Although we can take the girls there, the feeling is not very pleasant after all. Relatively speaking, the door key is more Be more comfortable,"

Feeney nodded and added,

"Moreover, the Black family's door key can go directly to the place they have designated as belonging to the Black family, which is more convenient than apparating,"

At this point, Feeney said again,

"Actually, we can get up a little later, but I thought you might want to decorate the room for the World Cup by yourself, so we started a little earlier. The game will start in the afternoon. After we go there in the morning to confirm the number of people and positions, you can It’s time to decorate the room,”

It was the first time for several little girls to watch the Quidditch World Cup. After Feeney explained, they all nodded, then lowered their heads and ate their breakfast very quietly.

Although several people got up very early, it could be said that it was still early in the morning, but the house elves still prepared a very rich breakfast for them, so that everyone could choose and mix it according to their own preferences.

Almost half an hour later, everyone had finished their breakfast, and Sirius stood up and said,

"Because this place is protected by secrecy magic, there is no way for the portkey to appear here directly. We have to walk a while. We are almost ready to go,"

The group left No. 12 Grimmauld Place and walked towards the square.

Sirius said that he had to walk for a while, but in fact it was not that far. Although the Ministry of Magic could not determine the specific location of the Black family, they knew that it was near Grimmauld Place, so the portkey would also appear in the square. In the Place de Rimo,

Within a few minutes, the group came to an alley, where a hat appeared out of thin air on the ground.

"Ah, look, that's the portkey we're going to use,"

Sirius said excitedly when he saw the appearance of the hat,

Finny turned to look at Hermione and asked,

"You know about portkeys,"

Hermione raised her chin proudly,

"Of course, a portkey is an enchanted object that can teleport anyone who comes into contact with it to a designated location. In most cases, a portkey will be an inconspicuous, everyday item to prevent it from causing intoxication. Attention, melons. Traveling with a Portkey feels akin to having a hook behind your belly button, taking you to your destination.”

She directly recited the description of the door key from the book, which was very consistent with her character as a primary school bully.

Feeney nodded and said to Harry,

"Such large-scale door keys generally have a use time. Of course, we don't have this one specially prepared for the Black family. It requires a password,"

Sirius took out his pocket watch and took a look at it.

"It's almost time. We can all take our places. Well, all you have to do is touch the door key and hold out a finger."

He explained in detail to Harry and Hermione,

Because the few people did not bring anything to salute, they easily formed a circle around the hats.

"Is everything okay?"

Sirius asked several people,

After getting a positive answer, he said,

"Well, let me think about it, the password is, pure blood supreme!"

As the command came out of his mouth, Feeney felt a hook catch his navel. Pulling him to spin aimlessly in the air, a gust of wind seemed to be blowing around him, and he couldn't see anything clearly in front of him.

Even though Finny has disapparated many times and even mastered this magic himself, he is still not very accustomed to portkeys.

Fortunately, this process didn't take long. After a few breaths, they appeared in another place.

At the same time, a voice came from their ears,

"Ten past four, Black family! Welcome, distinguished young masters,"

Finny pulled Leah and landed smoothly on the ground, and then looked at the surrounding environment.

This is a very desolate swamp, filled with mist, and there is a lot of water vapor in the air, which makes the water element lying on Leah's shoulder very excited.

In front of them stood two gloomy, tired wizards. One of them was holding a golden pocket watch, and the other was holding a thick roll of parchment and a quill.

After seeing Feeney, the two of them bowed to Feeney to show their respect.

Feeney nodded slightly, not caring at all.

"Where's the Black place?"

He asked calmly,

One of the wizards said,

"Ah, the Black family's camp is about six miles away. It's in the center of the camp. The administrator is Mr. Roberts. This young master, is there anything we can do for you?"

Feeney waved his hand,

"nothing,"

Then he took the little girls and Harry towards the Black family camp,

As for Sirius, after arriving here, he went to find his old friends,

The group walked through the desolate swamp. Due to the thick fog, they could not clearly see the surrounding scenery. After walking for about twenty minutes, they saw a small house made of stones. Behind the house were hundreds of Thousands of strange-shaped tents stretched upward along the site, until they reached the dark woods on the horizon.

Standing at the door of the stone house is a Muggle, a Muggle that can be easily seen, because both his clothes and behavior are much better than these wizards pretending to be Muggles.

Moreover, his expression was a little dull, which was the sequelae of having cast the Forgetting Curse on his back too many times, and it would take a long time to recover.

"Good morning,"

Finny greeted him with a smile,

"Good morning,"

The Muggle said,

"Mr. Roberts, right?"

"Ah, yes, you are?"

"Blake, um, the tent must have been set a long time ago,"

Roberts nodded.

"Ah, it's you. Your place is inside, there are labels there, and the tent has been set up according to your requirements,"

Feeney nodded and walked inside, while a group of wizards behind Feeney needed to get a tent from Roberts and pay Muggle currency. This was the convenience of the family.

Feeney and the others continued to walk inside, passed through the gate, and walked into the camp. With some difficulty, they passed between the awnings on both sides.

Feeney said with some complaints,

"I have already said that the pure-blood family's tents should be placed outside the camp. It would be too troublesome to walk in. You know, the World Cup can be held largely because we provide enough money,"

Having said this, he turned back to Harry and smiled,

"Speaking of which, Harry, I remember that the Potter family also has shares in the Quidditch World Cup. You can contact the Ministry of Magic later and receive the share of the two Quidditch World Cups from the Department of Magical Sports and Sports."

Because wizards want to hide their identities, they try their best to make their tents as similar as Muggle ones. However, some people always go a little overboard, such as adding chimneys to the tents, or pulling Bell ropes, weather vanes, etc., seem a bit nondescript.

After passing through many tents, they finally came to a tent with Blake's logo on it.

This tent also looks a bit strange. It is in the shape of a tall building, surrounded by tower-style decorative balloons. Although it looks very luxurious, it is a style owned by the Muggle world.

Finny smiled and explained to Harry who was a little confused,

"Because wizards rarely gather on such a large scale, some people can't help but want to show off their family. Therefore, the shape of the tents is a bit strange. The Black family's tent was not like this before. It was a four-story castle with gardens, fountains and other decorations inside. Later I asked the Ministry of Magic to change it to this tent,"

At this time, Sirius also came back,

"Ha, your speed is a bit slow. Well, this location is not bad. The course is on the other side of the woods,"

As he spoke, he pointed to the woods not far away. He said it was not far away, but in fact there was still some distance. There could be dozens of tents placed between the Black family's tent and the woods, but those places were not that far away. At that time, most of them still had signs and no tents.

"Okay, let's go in,"

With that said, Sirius walked into the tent first,

It was very magical. Unexpectedly, a traceless stretching spell was cast inside the tent, dividing the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and six bedrooms.

Feeney clapped his hands and said to several people,

"Okay, girls can go and decorate their rooms. I think the necessary materials are all ready in the box in the living room,"

After saying that, he walked out of the tent and cast magic around the tent.
