Chapter 162
Chapter 163 Departure
After the dinner,
George, Fred, Ginny and Ron couldn’t help but drag Elvis and Hermione to play Quidditch.
Six people can just play a 3v3 Snow Brawl, an entertainment mode that does not include the Golden Snitch and the goalkeeper.
It happened that Mrs. Hooch was also staying at school, so they successfully borrowed the Quaffle and Bludger from the drunk Mrs. Hooch.
During the Snow Brawl, in order to make the strength of the two sides look more balanced, the twins who stuck together for everything had to be split into two teams.
So, Ives, George and Hermione sided against Fred, Ginny and Ron.
However, because the twins not only looked exactly the same, but also wore sweaters knitted by Mrs. Weasley herself – except for the letters, everyone often passed the wrong ball.
But this is just an entertainment game. Apart from adding some joyful atmosphere to the stadium, the own goal has nothing to criticize.
Surprisingly, Ginny’s Quidditch level is very high. Although she is not as good as the three Quidditch players, she is better than Ron and…Hermione.
My dear Miss Know-It-All’s flying skills are a bit disappointing. Her flying skills have not improved in the past year and are still at the level when she first took flying lessons.
The laughter in the stadium later attracted the old naughty boy Dumbledore and the Quidditch fanatic Professor McGonagall, who took the opportunity to join the game. For some reason, Professor McGonagall insisted on joining Fred’s team.
With the two professors joining in, everyone became timid.
Firstly, George and Fred were really afraid of Professor McGonagall, and secondly, they were worried about hurting two professors with old arms and legs.
Professor McGonagall didn’t act like an old man at all. She controlled the broomstick, nimbly passed through the defense line composed of Ives and George, and scored a goal with one lift of her right hand.
I don’t know whether it’s intentional or not, but she always likes to play tricks on Ives before scoring goals.
……
The happy time is always short-lived.
The next morning, Ives got up early and packed his luggage – he was going to the United States with Professor Flitwick to participate in the restarted duel competition.
Ives did not choose to bring his own suitcase.
The brewing of the veritaserum reached a critical moment, and the box had to be left in the Room of Requirement. He had to leave Fox, Norbert and Lu Wei to Hermione’s care.
Although Fox was extremely reluctant to part with him—in its eyes, Ivis, who had Phoenix bloodline, was almost equal to its relative—but under Ivis’s persuasion, it finally stayed at Hogwarts.
Walking into the Ravenclaw common room, Professor Flitwick was already waiting there.
“Professor,” Ives walked towards him carrying a small suitcase,”how are we going to get to the United States?”
“Take a plane,” Professor Flitwick said.
This answer was completely beyond Ives’ expectations. He originally thought it would be a door key, but it turned out to be… a plane?!
Seeing Ives’s confused look, Flitwick The professor explained:”Although the portkey is convenient and can reach the destination in just a moment, it actually exposes the whole person to flying rapidly in mid-air. There is a certain danger in using the portkey for long-distance travel.””
He added:”What’s more, the Portkey Office of the Ministry of Magic has very strict restrictions on the use of portkeys. Before making a portkey, you must apply to the Ministry of Magic for registration. The consequences of using unapproved portkeys will be very serious.. There are many users of legal portkeys. By the time the Ministry of Magic agrees to make
portkeys, the duel competition will probably be over.”
Okay, Ives thought a little speechlessly. It seems that the official staff everywhere are not very efficient.
The two left Hogwarts and took the carriage pulled by the Thestrals to Hogsmeade Village. They had to start from The Hearth in Hogsmeade went to London city and then departed from London Heathrow Airport.
Before entering the airport, Professor Flitwick also used magic to transform the wizard robes of the two people into Muggle clothes.
Obviously he was interested in He had an in-depth understanding of Muggle living habits.
Professor Flitwick changed himself into a crisp suit, but he was short and looked a bit nondescript.
He also changed Ives into an autumn sportswear.
Ive Si helplessly raised his hand to his forehead, and retracted his preamble. Professor Flitwick knew a little about Muggles, but not much.
He quickly stopped him,”Professor, it’s winter now, and no Muggle would go out wearing a thin sportswear.” of!”
Professor Flitwick thought about it, and it was right, so he changed Ives into a windbreaker.
After more than seven hours of flight, the two finally arrived in New York.
There was a small accident when they went through the security check. The airport security personnel stopped them with a serious look on their faces.
“Please show me your passport.” The security officer looked at the strange pair in front of him – a dwarf and a boy – and his hand had quietly touched the beeper on his waist, for fear of something going wrong.
Professor Flitwick calmly said from his arms He took out two passports and handed them to him.
While the security personnel were checking the passport information, Professor Flitwick leaned into Ives’s ear and whispered in his ear:”Wizards must report in advance when going abroad. The passports are issued by the Ministry of Magic for us. Don’t worry, the Ministry of Magic has contacts with the Muggle government, and these passports are completely legal.”
Aves then slowed down his frown. He thought the two of them had come here illegally!
After asking a few simple questions, the security officer returned their passports to them, and then motioned for them to open their luggage. He wanted Check to see if there is any contraband.
Professor Flitwick placed the box on the table aside and secretly turned a brass turntable to Muggle mode.
The security officer turned the box in front of him, opened the lock, and opened the box. Cover, what I see is: pajamas, alarm clock, and a diary��、A Ravenclaw scarf…
He checked Ives’ suitcase again. There were only clothes and simple toiletries in Ives’s suitcase. His wand had already been placed with Professor Flitwick..
After the inspection, the security personnel smiled and said,”Thank you for your cooperation and welcome to New York!”
“Thanks.”After Professor Flitwick thanked him, he stood on tiptoe to retrieve the box and left the airport with Ives.
The snow in New York was extremely thick, even worse than in London, and the cold wind was as cold as a knife. , it was very painful when he scraped his cheek.
Looking at the white field in front of him, Ives was a little confused. Although his family had traveled to the United States together the year before last, this was his first contact with the magical world in the United States.
He turned around and asked:”Professor, where are we going now?”
“First go to MACUSA to register your wand,” Professor Flitwick replied. After that, he took out his wand and stretched it into the air.
With a deafening bang, a three-story, bright purple bus appeared. Here, in large gold letters on its windshield are the words:
KNIGHT BUS
