Chapter Seventy-Two: The Awkward Professor Snape
As the final of the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, it was undoubtedly a carnival feast.
According to incomplete statistics, the number of wizards in the camp has reached an unprecedented 130,000!
It can be said that in addition to the 100,000 wizards who bought tickets to the finals, there are 30,000 people stranded in the camp......
Most of these people only bought tickets for the middle few games, and some even only bought the opening game...... Then I stayed until the final.
This kind of look is a hardcore old fan.
Because according to international practice, the final finals will not be sold out at one time, but will be sold in sections.
But even so, the ordinary tickets on the black market, which have been sold to 2,000 Galleons each, are still priceless. Not to mention the boxes.
The Minister of Magic, Fudge, saw this situation and where he could still sit, and immediately urged the Sports Department to expand the gymnasium.
What the? Too late? Then learn Muggle trains...... 100,000 people's venue, 10,000 more standing tickets!
Not excessive, right?
If someone looks closely, they will find ...... Most of these 10,000 station tickets were not sold through official channels, but flowed into the black market in batches.
When the official starts to be a scalper and just rotten money...... It may be ugly to eat, but there is no way, and you can make a lot of money.
For a moment, Fudge smiled from ear to ear, and Umbridge, who came up with the idea, couldn't close his legs happily.
The two pigs are perfect and complement each other.
With so many people, so much pressure on security has skyrocketed.
Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, has begun to stand by, and many retired old Aurors have also been temporarily recalled.
Almost all of them gathered around the World Cup venue to ensure that the match went smoothly.
Near the venue, an anti-phantom manifestation charm was even added to ensure that no one would rush into the game.
As night fell, William and his party arrived at the entrance of the gymnasium.
There was a witch from the Ministry of Magic at the entrance, and she let them in without checking the tickets.
William and his entourage watched the game for a summer vacation, which belonged to the kind of box that was chartered.
Every time he comes, plus he and Hermione are too famous, they just rely on brushing their faces.
Harry and Ron were here for the first time, thinking they didn't need to check the tickets, so they stupidly followed last.
The witch's eyebrows were raised, and her eyes were piercing.
Yo roar, the guts are quite fat, and I don't look at where this is, so I want to go along the flow and evade the ticket to break in?
Just now, there was a wave of wizards with wands trying to storm the stadium...... Again?
I don't know if I know how to do kung fu?
Or is it ......
You're usually so brave?
The witch shouted, but Harry still walked inside.
Instead of pulling out her wand, she lunged forward, her right leg back, and a spun around kicked Harry to the ground with a flick of her sideways.
He stuck his head on the ground with his knees.
Ron wasn't Harry's stunned young man, he just stood for two seconds, and without the slightest hesitation, driven by human instinct, he immediately took the initiative to fall to the ground.
William didn't see what was going on, because there was too much traffic, and they were being dragged forward.
But with Mr. Weasley, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
On the stairs leading to the gymnasium, a fuchsia carpet is laid. The crowd climbed the stairs together, and slowly those people flowed into the stands on the left and right.
Several wizards were fighting, tearing each other's clothes.
Bought a standing ticket and want to sit in a seat? Do you want peaches to eat!
The psychology of buying standing tickets is also unbalanced, they are all grabbed on the black market, and my price is even more expensive...... Why should I be standing?
You know, the last final was five days and five nights, and there was one seat...... That's priceless.
There were also quite a few wizards who got out of their sleeping bags under their seats.
They bought tickets to the unpopular event and have been hiding here ever since, fighting the British Ministry of Magic.
It's called spending the least amount of money and watching the most expensive game.
For this kind of white prostitution, it is the target of the Ministry of Magic's resolute crackdown. If you catch it, you will be sent to Azkaban.
William and the others went up until they reached the top of the stairs.
There are only a few private rooms here, and it is one of the best places to watch the stadium.
Of course, the wizards who appear here are all either rich or expensive. Otherwise, like Mr. Weasley, he has connections.
With Mr. Weasley's family's financial resources, they certainly couldn't afford to buy a private room.
But he helped Brother Ludo, settled some things, and then got the ticket. Ludo is the director of the Department of Sports, and it is not easy to do these things.
Soon, William and the others entered a room with a shield coat of arms with a capital "H" on the door, surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.
This is the private box at Hogwarts School, which Fudge assigned to Professor Dumbledore.
But not many teachers came.
Like Hagrid...... I'm busy breeding, and I'm not interested in playing ball.
Professor Flitwick is back on the blind date market looking for a new target, and he is only interested in Ravenclaw matches.
Professor McGonagall must have come, and as a long-time fan, she couldn't have missed the final.
Lady Hodge, who taught everyone Quidditch, is also here, and she is discussing the odds of winning the final with McGonagall and Professor Trelawney.
Professor McGonagall is undoubtedly a veteran of the gambling industry, and Trelawney is a newcomer who made a fortune this year, and was taken into the pit by McGonagall and began to indulge in it.
Mrs. Huo Qi is a real emperor who understands the ball, but she never gambles, but only analyzes the winning rate for others, and then charges from it.
But this year's market is not good. Everyone followed William's bet, which is choking.
Unexpectedly, William also saw Professor Snape. He was actually idle, and he came to see the finals.
It seems that Quidditch is really a popular entertainment.
Professor Snape had a pinched temperament, a depressed face, sitting in the corner, ignoring anyone.
Roy knew Professor Snape.
Because in William's first year of school, Snape was arrested several times in Azkaban. Roy had read the Daily Prophet and would have recognized it.
Seeing that Snape looked depressed, he chatted with him about protecting his teeth.
Hermione's father, Aerys, did the same, and reached out and took the initiative to shake Snape's hand.
He handed over the cigarette again and asked him if he wanted to come to Genhuazi.
The first time he faced such a Muggle parent, Professor Snape was a little overwhelmed and shook hands with the other party in a daze.
Aerys, in particular, enthusiastically asks Hermione how she behaves, and asks him to criticize when he should be.
How should Snape answer?
Your daughter is a jack-of-all-trades, but I never ask her questions when I raise her hand in class, and I like to be cynical...... Hey.
Your son is a member of the League of Bad Guys, and he has a business relationship with me, but I always call him a big piece of, and I like to be weird with him...... Hey.
Can Professor Snape say that? Although that's what he did.
He had never been so embarrassed.
Wait a minute...... Why did he say this? He should have said something else. Like what:
Your son and your daughter violated the school rules every day and often went on night trips, although I didn't catch them.
The two of them are also involved in the issue of puppy love...... Those of you who are parents need to be more concerned and don't always worry about us teachers.
Professor Snape glanced at William and Hermione with ill-willed eyes.
Both of them were extremely well-behaved, and his eyes were threatening for a while, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that Professor Snape was not talking nonsense, William breathed a sigh of relief.
If this is said suddenly, the two of them often don't go home at night, and they don't know why they go.
Aerys estimated that he could throw William off the roof of the building.
