However, Philemon obviously underestimated Hermione's righteous heart, and even if he used his words, he couldn't say half of Hermione.

Suddenly, the two of them were at a stalemate.

On the other hand, Ron also received a letter from Harry.

When it comes to the easiest summer vacation, it is Ron.

The holidays had just begun, and the Weasley twins' bomb at Hogwarts was found out by their mother, Molly.

If nothing else, it must have been Dumbledore's informant.

After all, Fred and George also won honor for Gryffindor, and Percy shouldn't tell the truth.

This made Ron's summer vacation unusually comfortable.

Molly has devoted all her energy to dealing with the Twins, and will probably spy on the two of them throughout the summer to prevent them from doing anything more dangerous.

Compared to his two older brothers, Ron's life was much better.

Because, the Wizard Chess America's Cup is about to be held, and as the winner of the European Cup, Ron's grandfather, Septimus Weasley, is being invited.

Originally, this incident had nothing to do with Ron, but it is unknown who told his grandfather, Mr. Septimus, about his performance in the Cadet Championship.

As soon as the old man was happy, he decided to take Ron with him in the America's Cup.

Speaking of which, the old man's wife, Cedreira Black, is from the Black family, although she was expelled from the family because she married Septimus, who was known as a pure-blood traitor, but there is still this relationship in blood.

Ron and Sirius are also related. (real distant cousins)

The Wizard Chess Tournament is also managed by the Department of Magical Sports. Of course, his popularity is not as good as that of Quidditch.

But the sport is loved by the upper class, or some academics, and is known as a game for smart people.

So whether it's for the accumulation of connections in cliques or for some other reason, this competition has not been interrupted for hundreds of years.

And this time, the America's Cup was naturally held under the promotion of the US Ministry of Magic.

The history of the Copa America is naturally not comparable to that of the European Championship. Whether it's the size of the competition or the level of the contestants. are significantly weaker than Europe.

That's why the organisers invited Mr. Septimus, the European Cup champion, to come and be a guest judge and so on. to increase the gold content of their own game.

Of course, they also offer a hefty honorarium...

——————————————————

New York, USA.

Woolworth Building.

As professionals invited directly by the Magical Congress of the United States, Ron and his grandfather, Mr. Septimus, naturally did not use Muggle vehicles like Melta or Hermione.

They have specialized door keys.

"Welcome, Mr. Septimus."

Godwin Benjamin is an official of the U.S. Law Enforcement Division, because the U.S. Department of Magic does not have a Sports Enforcement Division, so things such as international exchanges are done by the Law Enforcement Division.

"Mr. Benjamin. We meet again! "Septimus was also a member of the Weasley family, with gray hair tinged with red. Although he is over 90 years old, his body still looks tough.

He wears a fiery red cloak and dragonskin boots on his feet, which Bill had given him.

Despite his old age, his tall stature still made him look majestic.

Ron didn't look around like a roe deer, and seriously, the Woolworths building was like that, he still liked the wizarding statue at the entrance of the British Department of Magic.

"Yes! I only invited you after three visits. Godwin smiled.

After all, Mr. Septimus is already in his nineties, and people are reluctant to go out when they are old.

It took a lot of effort for him to get people over.

"Haha!" Mr. Septimus laughed.

He and Godwin are also old friends, and they talked about it at the Wizard Chess European Cup, and Godwin will invite him because of this relationship.

"Oh! By the way, Mr. Septimus, you can guide us this time. I'll tell you the truth, we have a kid and she's very talented. Godwin abruptly changed the subject.

"Oh! Is it? Septimus looked down at Ron beside him, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Oh! Haven't asked yet, who is this young lad? ”

"Haha, this is my grandson, Ron, Ron Weasley. is also considered to have some talent in wizard chess. ”

As soon as it comes to children, these two people immediately seem to be at odds.

You look at me, I look at you.

They smiled at each other at the end.

This made Ron, who was standing next to him, very embarrassed.

Thankfully, the reception didn't last long.

After a grand reception, the grandfather and grandson finally returned to the hotel prepared by the Magic Congress to rest.

That's when Ron received a letter from Harley from London.

The letter wasn't received directly by Harley, after all, she didn't know that Ron was in the United States at this time.

The letter was sent to the Burrow, forwarded by Ron's parents.

In the letter, Harley only briefly stated her situation, focusing on her current address, and if Ron wanted to send her a letter, she would send a new address.

In his reply, Ron expressed his indignation at his buddy's plight, condemned the Dursleys, and said that he would invite her to live in the Burrows when he returned from the United States.

Time flies.

In the days before the game started, Ron followed his grandfather around the wizarding world of New York.

It can be said that it is worthy of the United States.

Whether it is the No-Maj world or the wizarding world, it is much more open than the United Kingdom.

But on the other hand, she is unusually closed...

For example, the Magical Congress of the United States forbade wizards from intermarrying with No-Maj.

Wizard merchants, circuses, fantastic beasts from all over the world. But it was a feast for Ron's eyes.

One of his favorites is a wizard merchant from Japan.

He wasn't interested in the small, obscene Japanese wizard, but one of the items he bought caught Ron's attention.

The main thing is that it is so beautiful, it looks like a big white dog, but the hair on its head and back and tail are really black. It has a dragon's head, two muscular horns on the top of its head, and the most amazing thing is that it even has a pair of wings on its back.

Ron inquired about the apparently ill-intentioned Japanese wizard for a long time, only to learn that it was a Pegasus from China.

It is a legendary beast.

It is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Classic of the North Mountains":

Two hundred miles to the northeast again, it is said that the mountain of Ma Cheng, there are many aragonites on it, its yin is more gold and jade, there are beasts, its shape is like a white dog and a black head, it flies when it sees people, its name is Tianma.

Even the Japanese wizard said that Pegasus was the blood ancestor of the unicorn.

Of course Ron didn't believe it.

But that didn't stop him from really liking the Pegasus.

Still, that terrible price made Ron die of this heart.

After all, even if you sell him, you won't get that much money back.
