Chapter Eighty-Four: The Whereabouts of the Horcrux (Thanks to the "SNZ" boss for the 10,000-dollar reward!) )
The Quidditch World Cup is over,
All wizards around the world are waiting for the World Cup title.
Ireland or Bulgaria have not touched a trophy for a long time, and whoever wins will be considered a new king to the throne and make history.
In fact, the leading reporters of the Daily Prophet sent the news of Ireland's victory back to headquarters as early as the moment Krum caught the Golden Snitch.
They even had the title in mind – Ireland won the thrilling victory, Bulgaria shattered the dream of England.
Judging from the title, I thought that the strength of the two teams was between them, and Bulgaria was just a loss.
But anyone who watched the game knew that it was a crushing game. Krum is the only fig leaf.
It's just that you can't write about crushing.
It may sound cool, but the gold content is low.
Why was the last World Cup rated as the most classic game of this century?
It's not because of five days and five nights!
Only the kind of competition that has been fought for several days, mixed with the wild, no horses, men, friction, and broom shock, will be repeatedly discussed by everyone.
It's best to have a few classic trash words, like "You almost stopped me".
If there is also a father-son game between the players...... That's even more exciting.
As long as the heat rises, the newspaper will sell well.
Crush the ...... with a single sentence People don't like this kind of competition.
It's all a routine!
Even those stories that happen off the field are everyone's favorite dramas.
For example, in the advertisement of Akali's Mystery Shop, Stark made five million Galleons......
Unfortunately, halfway through the printing of the newspaper, the boss immediately notified the suspension of printing and replaced it with new content overnight.
The newspaper, which was supposed to go on sale in the morning, was also forced to be delayed for a full two hours.
The title changed from Ireland winning the championship to a more energetic one:
Death Eaters Descend! The Dark Trio of the Quidditch World Cup.
And then a glittering black and white photo with three Black Magic markers...... Quite romantic.
As a veteran journalist and industry benchmark, Rita, although she is in the UK and has just gotten off the plane, has already written a report with gusto.
Naturally, it was the panic that attacked the Ministry of Magic...... The offender was not caught...... Loose security...... The Dark Wizard is at large...... Bring shame on the country.
Rita sprayed the most, and it was Minister Fudge himself. Especially his two sentences...... "No comment" and "You reporters run faster than anything else"!
In fact, the whole story is more like a personal hype of William.
The first half is still describing how bad the Ministry of Magic is, and then the offensive starts with the phrase 'God bless Stark'.
It's really hard to lick.
She depicts William's solo killing of the lake monster, and says that he saved hundreds of wizards who had been kidnapped by the Death Eaters.
Among them are many celebrities such as Harry Potter and Krum.
At the end of the article, Rita also wrote a bloody letter expressing her support for Stark to become the new Minister of Magic.
"That's, Rita!" William dropped the newspaper. "What is she going to do? Don't you think I have enough to do? ”
"I think it's okay." Hermione picked up the newspaper and read it several more times.
"Rita's writing is still good, looking at the articles she writes, it's like seeing it with your own eyes."
Hermione blinked, pursed her lips, and said, "Although the description, none of them are right. ”
There really is no right one.
A lot of Rita's news is hearsay, and then she relies on her own brain to make up for it.
Why was William seriously injured when he fought against the lake monster, and why would he rather die than retreat?
How come there are hundreds of kidnappers?
When you see the kidnappers and find them tortured...... William couldn't hold back his tears?!
Did William cry?
When he found Draco and found out that he wasn't dead, William laughed happily.
In this newspaper, is it really William?
"Okay, don't be angry, I wrote to warn her not to continue talking nonsense."
Hermione sat beside William, holding out her fingers and rubbing his furrowed brow.
"Minister Fudge is preparing to hold a press conference for the Ministry of Magic, and he has written you a lot of letters, are you really not going?" She asked.
William shook his head. "No, there's no need to go."
Today is the third day after the end of the Quidditch World Cup.
It stands to reason that the Ministry of Magic will hold a press conference to give an explanation to the people.
We can't let the newspaper go dark, otherwise it will cause panic.
In the past few days, Fudge invited William more than once, and almost knelt on the ground and begged him.
William was able to attend the press conference and say a few kind words appropriately, and Fudge would have been much less stressed.
But William directly refused, saying that he was not available.
He really didn't bother to care anymore, he was in a lot of trouble, and he said goodbye to a lot of friends, and he was in a bad mood.
After the World Cup, William and everyone immediately went to camp and came to his home in the village of St. Capol.
But Fleur and Gabrielle only stayed for one night and returned to France the next day.
Mrs. Maxime demanded that all students must leave.
She felt that Britain was too dangerous......
Well, the truth is, she thinks William is too wicked.
Not long after the accident in Venice, the World Cup followed.
Her back was suddenly cold, as if she wasn't wearing pants.
Maxim doesn't even want to participate in the Triwizard Tournament now.
Nicol returned to his estate; Newt is also home, and he will be going to the United States again soon, so he is going to take Tina with him.
Terenee stayed only two days before she hurried away to train her gondola.
Muggle newspaper reports claim that a submarine has been spotted in the English Channel.
They believe that this is a nuclear submarine and that France is provoking trouble, calling for sanctions against France.
Treenne broke out in a cold sweat and hurried to find her ship.
It would be a bit too much if this were to cause a war between the two countries.
Curious, Anne followed her.
In the end, people came and went, and only William and Hermione were left in the house to spend the last days of the summer vacation.
The two discussed the newspaper for a while, and Hermione was about to make dinner when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in." William put down the newspaper and looked up.
A witch walked in, dressed in a long purple dress, with burgundy eyes, and long silver hair draped over her shoulders like a waterfall.
William was stunned.
Rare...... Professor Barblin finally didn't stand up to William's handsome face.
She looked at the house curiously, it was her first time here.
The house is small and the décor is so-so, but surprisingly cosy.
Much like a home.
"Professor, long time no see...... What to drink? Hermione asked, standing up and as enthusiastic as a hostess.
"Whiskey." Professor Barburing walked down on the sofa with a splendid skirt.
"I've got it here, for you." William pulled a bottle of wine from his safety sheet.
Professor Babling snapped his fingers, and the bottle poured automatically into the glass.
"This wine is not bad, but the vintage is a little lower." She sniffed.
William rolled his eyes, this was the wine he had abducted the rune horse, and of course it was a low vintage.
However, with dragon blood added to it, it must be in line with the taste of Babling, a vampire goblin.
"I'm leaving." Babuling took a sip.
William snorted, not too surprised.
Her current identity is that of Ilvermorny's Demon Professor. The school is going back to the United States, and she will definitely go back with it.
Of course, Newt, Tina and Piqueli went back with them.
"One of the Dark Markers of that day was released by me." Professor Babling whispered.
"Tom saw someone release the Dark Mark and let me release it too, just to join in the fun."
In this regard, William was also prepared and not much surprised.
But her next words surprised William.
"Tom may want to stay in the UK for a while...... You have to be careful. ”
"He's going to stay?"
Professor Babling whispered, "I helped him catch a wizard who was attached to him and was often out of the camp before.
Looking at the way he looks, it seems that he is looking for something. ”
"Looking for Horcruxes?" William's eyebrows raised.
Otherwise, it really can't explain Little Tom's actions.
"Who knows." Barburing licked her unusually scarlet and eye-catching lips, tilted her head, stared at William's eyes and said:
"It's your job with Dumbledore, I'm only responsible for providing information."
The woman ran her fingers over her lips, which were as red as blood.
"One more point...... I cast a secret spell on the captured wizard that only a vampire could feel. ”
"According to the fluctuations of that magic, little Tom has been wandering around a sea area lately."
William nodded with a serious expression.
"Professor Dumbledore and I will check it out."
Seeing Professor Babling frowning suddenly, he hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else, Professor?" ”
She looked around and said, "Clean up a room for me, and arrange it according to the decoration of my office."
I'll probably sleep here for the night in the future when I'm free. ”
William and Hermione looked at each other, stunned.
What a strange request.
Glancing at the confused faces of the two, Professor Barblin was in a better mood, and the taste of drinking became more and more delicious, and the tip of his tongue lingered with the aftertaste of dragon blood.
"By the way, little Hermione, I'll sleep in your room tonight.
You're getting better and better, it's really a flower stuck in dragon dung. ”

29 chapters owed.
Sorry for the late update, I fell asleep last night, the temperature of the air conditioner was low, I didn't cover the quilt, I got up in the morning and caught a cold, and I was dizzy all day.
There will definitely be more changes this month, but the 8th exam has been reviewing recently, and the update has been unstable after the start of school.
Sorry again)
