Chapter 251 The Quidditch World Cup
After the hastily finished breakfast, we all set off together in the dark. Along the way, Mr. Weasley introduced the preparations for the game: hundreds of thousands of wizards will come to the UK, so preparations can only be done more than half a year in advance. Such as finding a large enough open space and applying a lot of magic to hide it.
The Quidditch World Cup attracts so many people. Hermione exclaimed in a low voice. For a European, the gathering of hundreds of thousands of people is an amazing thing in itself, not to mention that these people are all wizards.
After all, the influence of the Quidditch World Cup among wizards is equivalent to the sum of the World Cup plus the Super Bowl plus the Olympics and so on. In the wizarding world, large-scale sports events are just like that. So wizards' Enthusiasm is inevitable. Ryan explained in a low voice.
Soon everyone climbed a hill to meet the Diggory family, and then rushed to the camp near the arena through a door key that looked like a broken boot.
After arriving at the camp, Ryan volunteered to stay and prepare breakfast with Mr. Weasley, because cooking without magic life should be the highest level here. When he and Mr. Weasley had set up the tent and set it on fire (Mr. Weasley was just making trouble), the others returned with water. Even their team brought Sirius and Harry.
Hey, Harry, how was your summer vacation? asked Harry Lane, who was approaching as he fryed an egg.
Fantastic, because Dursley pretended I didn't exist this summer. And my godfather taught me a lot.
That's good, by the way. Would you like to eat something? Ryan asked, pointing to the sausages on the grill.
No, we just finished our breakfast. So some tea is enough. I heard you came early today?
Don't mention it, I got up at two in the morning and walked for half the night. I'm still hungry now. Ryan said with a wave of his knife and quickly sliced the cooked sausages into thin slices to spread them evenly on the slices of bread . Then put fried eggs, lettuce, and sauce to make sandwiches.
After doing this a few times, a stack of sandwiches was stacked on the wooden plate beside Ryan. Then Bill, Charlie, and Percy suddenly strode toward them from the woods.
Apparated just now, Dad, Percy exclaimed. Ah, that's great, there's something good to eat!
While everyone was eating and drinking, Ludo Bagman came over, and Mr. Weasley excitedly introduced him to everyone. Ryan quickly remembered that the man in front of him was a famous bad gambler who dared to owe the goblins a debt. Later, in order to pay off the debt, he even cheated to provide information to Harry, and finally lost all the money and ran away. As a result, the goblins went directly to the Ministry of Magic to collect debts.
The most important lesson learned from this process is: stay away from gambling under any circumstances.
Of course, Ludo Bagman wasn't that bad at this point. But seriously, even a poor family like the Weasleys, well-known in the British wizarding world, cheated out of their money, which is really rubbish.
At this time, Ludo had already opened, and Mr. Weasley bet a Galleon. The twins put on a defensive bracelet after whispering a few words with Ryan, and Ludo estimated the price at thirty-five Galleons.
Whether we win or lose, this thing can give Ludo Bagman the name of our product. When Mr. Weasley was a little dissatisfied with the twins' big bets, the twins explained it plausibly.
As the afternoon wore on, a sense of excitement spread over the camp like a palpable cloud.
The signs of magic are becoming more and more obvious, but this time the Ministry of Magic has abandoned the idea of managing the merry wizards.
Sirius walked in front with his head held high, Ryan and the others followed. Originally, Ryan planned to buy a batch of souvenirs, but Sirius, who entered the coin-spending mode, generously gave each of these school-going children a panoramic telescope and a suit that all supported the Irish team (of course, Ryan declined that forgiveness. clover hat).
Naturally, most of the British support the Irish team, because the regional division of the wizarding world is somewhat different from that of the Muggle world. The population of wizards is not large, so many places are divided into one area. For example, Ireland as a whole belongs to the British Ministry of Magic. Tube. Similarly, magic schools can't be one in every country, their school districts are larger. That's why Victor Krum, who is Bulgarian, went to North Europe to go to school.
Just like the Muggle world football team, the British Quidditch team is also divided into four teams: England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. However, this also makes the Quidditch World Cup look more suspenseful, otherwise at least seven or eight of the ten games will be won by the British.
Just when Blake was about to spend some more money, a deep and deep gong sounded from somewhere in the distance of the woods—as this sound was not magical at all, I remembered that thousands of red, green, and green extreme earth turtles came to mind. Lanterns blazed on the trees, illuminating the way to the arena.
Obviously, everything is ready and it's time to enter.
After they walked quickly into the woods along the passage lit by the lanterns, more and more people came out from both sides of the passage. Maybe because so many people aroused the excitement of Sirius, who had been in prison for more than ten years. The more Ryan looked, the more he felt that he had a lot in common with Mr. Wolf in the Forbidden Forest.
Does Sirius' Animagus have Husky blood? Ryan thought curiously, but thinking that he had given himself a lot of gifts just now, Ryan decided to bury this impolite thought in his heart.
The box of the Black family is there to serve your family faithfully— The ticket inspector glanced at the ticket in Sirius's hand, and his tone became very friendly, The high-level box with the widest view of each game is waiting there. your presence.
After checking the tickets, Sirius looked a little depressed in the passage. Ryan leaned up and asked, Mr. Black, you look a little uncomfortable.
Yeah, I made a mistake. Seeing that it was Ryan, who had helped him a lot before, Sirius directly stated his anxiety. Harry is not James after all. He shouldn't be sitting with an old man like me, but with friends of the same age. I forgot.
You're still very young. Ryan said politely before saying, Why don't I change with Harry, I just don't know if the seats can be changed.
The top box can change seats in all positions, but as far as I know, the top box has a better view than the Black family's small box. Sirius said a little embarrassedly.
It's okay, I don't feel comfortable sitting with a group of bigwigs in the wizarding world. But I think I need to tell Mr. Weasley first. Ryan waved his hand to indicate nothing.
Soon Mr. Weasley agreed to the swap plan, but Hermione had to swap seats with Sirius after hearing about it. One of the reasons was that it was not easy for Sirius to come out and stay with Harry once, and the other One is that she thinks it's good to sit in the Sirius family box. After all, she is very interested in Quidditch, and a good position should be reserved for those who truly love Quidditch.
