Chapter 205: A Chance Encounter with Cedric
For this Quidditch World Cup, the British Ministry of Magic can be described as painstaking.
The main problem is that there are about 100,000 wizards coming to watch the World Cup, and it is difficult for the Ministry of Magic to find a magical venue that can accommodate so many wizards.
There are places where Muggles can't get in, but imagine they can't cram 100,000 wizards into Diagon Alley, right?
So in order to stagger the arrival of the wizards, the cheaper people had to arrive two weeks in advance and wait there.
There were also some wizards who used Muggle transportation, but the number was limited, and the Ministry of Magic did not dare to crammed Muggle buses and trains with too many people.
Mainly because there are wizards from all over the world, who knows if there are any special people with strange shapes?
Of course, there are still those who use apparition, but the Ministry of Magic also has some safe places for them to manifest, away from all Muggles.
There is probably a forest near the World Cup venue, which can be used as a foothold for apparitions, which is why that land was lucky to be chosen as a World Cup venue.
For those who are unwilling or unable to apparition, the Ministry of Magic can only use portkeys, which are used to transport wizards from one place to another within a set time.
A large number of people could be transported at a time, if needed, and they dropped two hundred portkeys all over the UK.
Finally, there is the Space Gate, which just came out this year.
Although the Ministry of Magic was very surprised when they heard about this thing, since this thing needs to be purchased before using it, it has to be considered that there are some secrets or wizards in other countries who don't know about it.
After listening to Rolf's explanation, Mrs. Weasley finally mercifully allowed the young wizards to go back to sleep, but it turned out that no one could fall asleep anymore, and Rolf didn't anyway.
Rolf had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the bed and start his thoughts.
After gaining the bloodline of the Dragon-Vein Warlock, Rolf had to face the problem that no matter what magic he used, he always had the shadow of the dragon.
Therefore, even if the mind is still visualized as a gem of wisdom, what is embodied in the spiritual world is a gem in the shape of a dragon.
Therefore, Rolf simply gave up the visualization gem and instead visualized the divine dragon in his Animagus form, but he didn't expect that his cultivation speed would be greatly accelerated.
As for the four extra spell slots after the upgrade, Rolf thought about it again and again, and finally chose Transfiguration, Kamikaze, Witchcraft Shield, and Flame Blazing.
After all, for a spellcaster who has mastered extraordinary abilities, isn't it very cheap to not know the fireball technique?
Therefore, Rolf also had spare time, and in addition to cultivating the latest "Divine Dragon Concept Idea", he also had to study these several spell models.
The Transfiguration was transformed into a spell model with the help of Song Ye in the first grade, but it was not selected because it was not promoted at that time.
The other spell models are provided by the bosses of the Scamander family, whether it should be said or not, the big guys are worthy of being the big guys, after several years of research, they have almost finished studying the spell models in the wizarding world.
Now we are working on optimizing these spell models, and the optimized templates are from the spell models that Song Ye has optimized.
After lunch, they finally set off from the Burrow, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Rolf opened the space door, found the space bus stop near the World Cup, and let the others go in first.
When he finally walked through the spatial door, he saw Mr. Weasley shaking hands with a red-faced wizard with a short brown beard.
"Let me introduce you to you, this is Amos Diggory. Mr. Weasley beckoned to the little ones behind him and said happily,
"He works for the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, that's his son Cedric, I think you all know each other, right?"
Cedric Diggory was surprised to see them, and then greeted them happily: "I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Everyone said "Hi", but Fred and George didn't say anything, just nodded. Last year, Cedric beat their Gryffindor team in their first Quidditch match, and the twins still haven't fully forgiven him.
But Rolf seemed to see that Mr. Amos Diggory had a different look in his eyes, as if he wanted to say hello to himself, but he was embarrassed to hesitate about so many people around him?
Wait, Fantastic Beasts Management and Control Division? Isn't it, Sir!
Rolf suddenly looked at Cedric again, and immediately threw out the bad thoughts in his mind, such an excellent young man, we can meet must be because of fate!
The adults greeted each other, and the children chattered together, and they searched in groups for the tents written on the tickets.
Mr. Amos Diggory looked kindly at the little wizards around him, and asked a little knowingly, "Arthur, are these your children?"
"Oh no, only the red-haired ones are. Mr. Weasley pointed out his children one by one, "It's Hermione, Harry, and Rolf, all friends of Ron."
"Oh my God," said Amos Diggory, his eyes wide at once, "Harry, Harry Potter?"
"Hmm...... I think so. Harry was used to the reaction of people when he heard his name, and to the scar on his forehead that immediately turned their eyes on, but it always made him feel uncomfortable.
"Of course, Seid talked about you. "He told us about the game he played against you last year...... Oh, and Mr. Scamander, Seid told me all about you, you brave little ones. ”
Harry didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything, and Fred and George both frowned again, apparently Mr. Diggory's words reminded them of their own defeat.
Strange to say, from the first year, even after Gryffindor welcomed Harry as a Seeker, although Harry's skill was undoubted, but his luck seemed to be too bad?
Not only is there always danger, but last year's Quidditch was not finished because the school was bombed, and the holiday season started early.
Seid, on the other hand, looked a little embarrassed, "Harry fell off the broomstick, Daddy," he muttered quietly, "I told you...... It was an accident......"
"Yes, and it was Rolf who saved him," Amos said affectionately, patting Rolf on the back, "you are as good as your grandfather, and have inherited all the good qualities of the Scamander family."
By the way, remember to say hello to Mr. Scamander on my behalf. ”
It's a real hammer, the bunch of words in front of the relationship are all pretenses, and greeting Mr. Scamander is his real intention.
Harry, who was a miserable tool man, didn't notice this, but was a little embarrassed to remember how often he fell off his broomstick.
