Chapter 240: Small Talk on the Train

Hogwarts Express!

Summer vacation has started again, and students are sitting together in pairs and talking about their plans for summer vacation. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Harry's summer vacation...... No, it should be that all the summer vacations during Hogwarts are not in sight.

The reason is an application before leaving.

Although Harry couldn't live with Sirius for the time being, he really didn't want to go back to the privet path, and he didn't want to go back to the Dursleys. If nothing else, the fact that he turned Aunt Vernon's aunt and sister into "balloons" at the beginning of school will not allow him to have a good life.

So before he left school, he approached Dumbledore and asked to move out of Privet Road, and it was a wonderful thing for Harry to be able to live freely with his best friend in the Leaky Cauldron. Harry thought it was a 100% success, but it turned out to be a 100% failure.

Before he could finish his sentence, Dumbledore rejected his application. However, Dumbledore still gave Harry an explanation, he knew what kind of "harsh" environment Harry was living in, but at least it was much better than losing his life. In first grade, they had already proved that Voldemort had not been completely destroyed, and that he was still alive in another way.

Voldemort was the greatest danger to Harry alive, as he was the person Voldemort wanted to kill the most. But Harry's mother protected Harry at the cost of her own life, a "love spell", and it was for this reason that Quirrell did not dare to touch Harry for a year.

But this spell needs a "carrier", and Harry's mother has passed away. So the most powerful "carriers" are also gone. But Harry's aunt was his mother's own sister, even though she was very annoying, if not disgusting, to Harry. But after all, she has the same blood in her body as Harry's mother, which is a deterrent to Voldemort.

That's why Dumbledore put Harry in front of the Dursleys, who had to live in the Dursleys until he was eighteen years old, or before Voldemort was completely destroyed. Even if Sirius cleared his grievances and became his guardian, he still couldn't leave.

Harry naturally knew that Dumbledore was thinking about himself, and he didn't want to lose his life, but this explanation also made him full of disappointment during the summer vacation. Luckily, though, he wasn't "disappointed".

First of all, he could finally go to Hogsmeade at the beginning of the next semester, and Professor McGonagall told Harry that Dumbledore had received a letter of assurance signed by one of his elders, who Dumbledore had not told anyone. But don't think Harry knows who it is.

And secondly, it's what they're talking about right now.

"I tell you to be sure to arrange your time well, and you can't be absent when the time comes!" Ron "warned" everyone: "This is a quadrennial Quidditch World Cup ticket, my dad asked a lot of people to get it, and none of you can be absent!" ”

As the most important tournament in the wizarding world, it is only natural that Quidditch will also have a World Cup. As in the Muggle World Soccer World Cup, wizards from all over the world gather to watch the event during the Quidditch World Cup. Although Ron's father is not a "high-ranking official" in the Ministry of Magic, he is also a member of the "central government", so he will still get some "discounts".

Harry said excitedly, "Don't worry! Even if they tie me up, I'll do whatever it takes to get out. It's the Quidditch World Cup! Just thinking about it makes me excited. ”

Harry, who aims to become a professional Quidditch player, is attracted to him by the Quidditch World Cup.

Ron nodded and said, "That's it, I'll write to you when the time comes." ”

"No, no, no!" Harry hurriedly said, "I'm sure I won't get the letter!" ”

Bruce laughed, "Ah! I'm guaranteeing you to be in the crowd at the World Cup. ”

"Haha!" Harry laughed and said, "That's it, oh my God! Finally, Merlin is not thin on me, and there is finally hope for this summer vacation. Damn, if only the World Cup had started now. ”

Hermione laughed, "Okay, let's stop talking about it." You can't leave the Dursleys, but at least you can go to Hogsmeade in the future. ”

At this time, Lavender said, "Actually, I am curious, to know that Sirius is still a fugitive...... Oh! Sorry, Harry! I am absolutely convinced that your godfather is innocent! ”

"Huh! It's okay, Lavender! Harry said.

Lavender smiled apologetically and said, "In that case, why is his signature still accepted by the school?" ”

Ron put his arm around his girlfriend and said, "Honey, don't forget that Dumbledore was a very shrewd wizard, and no one could confuse him. He already knew that Sirius was innocent, so it was only natural that he would recognize his signature. ”

After explaining, Ron turned the conversation back to the Quidditch World Cup and began to discuss the teams with Harry. But Bruce was a little absent-minded, and Hermione, noticing her boyfriend's distraction, asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Bruce mused, "I want to go somewhere. ”

"Somewhere? Where? Hermione asked curiously.

"Honey, how much do you know about China?" Bruce asked.

Hermione was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Don't tell me, you want to go to China?" ”

Bruce smiled: "I do have this idea, but it is not realistic at the moment, after all, it is a problem for me to fly without parents as a minor, I just want to understand." ”

Hermione didn't think much about it and told Bruce what she knew, and from Hermione's words, Bruce learned that the development of China in this time and space was no different from his previous "hometown", and he still experienced those things, and it was still Grandpa Mao who established New China.

“…… So it's the reforms that that great man promoted, and China is developing a lot now. But that's what I read in books, and I haven't been there. ”

Bruce nodded and asked, "Then how much do you know about wizards in China?" ”

Hermione said, "Don't ask about that. Don't talk about me, even Dumbledore can't answer you. Not to mention that I understand, I haven't really seen it, and some people even say that there are no wizards in China at all. ”

Bruce smiled and said, "Of course there will be no wizards in China, and if there is, there will be Taoist priests." ”

Bruce would not believe that there are no "wizards" in China, and Ollivander once said that there are indeed some mysterious people in China who live in seclusion in the mountains. And as his experience grew, Bruce's thirst for strength became stronger. Hades once said that if you let yourself go to China, it means that there is definitely something worth visiting in your hometown in this time and space.

The more he thought about it, the stronger the urge for Bruce to "go home" became, and he even began to plan how he could get to China.

Just then, the door to the box was pushed open, and George and Fred walked in.

"Look, I knew Ron was talking about the World Cup." George laughed.

Fred quipped, "Our brother is always like this, but we should understand that this is a rare moment for him to show off!" ”

"Huh!" Bruce: They all laughed.

"Enough for the two of you!" Ron blushed and said, "Are you two guys idle because you don't make any money?" ”

"Tsk!" George and Fred shook their fingers smugly, and George smiled, "It's a shame that we didn't make any money this semester, but we won't just focus on the final exams." ”

Bruce laughed, "Are you two going to take the bet to the World Cup?" ”

Ron immediately said, "If you dare to do this, I can guarantee that Mommy will definitely starve you for two days." ”

Fred laughed, "We're not afraid, but we really won't." Because we don't have the capital. ”

There is also a gambling game in the wizarding world, and like the Muggles, the World Cup has naturally become the biggest "big gamble". But this really has nothing to do with George Fred, they can't afford to play it.

"And what are you thinking about?" Harry asked curiously.

George and Fred said in unison, "Triwizard Tournament, of course!" ”

"Triwizard Tournament!?"

"You don't say I've forgotten that the Triwizard Tournament is going to start next semester, and it's still being held in our school." Hermione said.

Harry asked curiously, "What is the Triwizard Tournament?" ”

Bruce explains: "Triwizard Tournament is a kind of friendship competition between three of the biggest schools of magic and magic in Europe. Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrand. Each school chooses a warrior and then competes in three magical projects. It is held every five years and is hosted by the three schools in turn. ”

"What's more? Wizard Duel? Harry asked.

"Of course not, the program is different from year to year, but it's all a test of the contestant's talent, strengths, courage, theory, reasoning and ability to overcome danger in magic," Hermione said. Whoever has been the champion of the Triwizard Tournament in history has gone on to become great wizards. ”

At this time, Harry bumped into Bruce and smiled, "Bruce, I think you can participate!" ”

"I think so too!" Ron immediately said, "And I'm sure you can definitely win the championship." ”

Bruce laughed, "Of course you can, in fact I've already decided to participate." This ......"

"No! I disagree! Hermione said immediately.

"Why?" Ron was surprised and said, "Why don't you agree?" ”

Harry was also curious, and asked, "That should be a good thing, Hermione!" If you win, it's naturally good, and even if you don't win the championship, you can at least gain a lot. ”

Hermione glared at the two of them and said coldly, "You two guys who don't watch the news, shut up. ”

Ron smiled helplessly: "How is this connected to the news again." ”

Bruce said, "Okay, let's talk about it!" In fact, Triwizard Tournament has been out of action for centuries. Although over the centuries, people have tried several times to revive the tournament. But it was only recently that the Ministry of Magic's Department of International Magical Cooperation and the Department of Magical Sports decided to restart the game. ”

"Why? Sounds great! Why should it be discontinued? Harry asked, puzzled.

Hermione said coldly, "Because a lot of people died." ”

"Dead people?!" Harry, Ron and Lavender said in surprise.

"That's right, the reason for the closure is that there are so many deaths." Hermione said, then glared at Bruce and "threatened," "So...... Hum! Sterling, if you dare to go to the competition, wait and break up with me! ”

Bruce immediately hugged Hermione and smiled, "Don't worry! I'm not going to compete in such a dangerous race, I'm not married! (To be continued.) )
