In the Cauldron Bar, Professor Dumbledore is sipping violet sparkling water, and a freshly opened cockroach pile sits next to it.

The candy cockroaches in the jar crawled desperately outward, but were blocked by an invisible barrier at the mouth.

Professor Slughorn next to him was lying in a comfortable winged armchair, with his feet resting on the large velvet cushion he had conjured.

Professor Slughorn held a small glass of grape juice in his left hand and picked through a box of candied pineapple with the other, occasionally throwing a piece into his mouth.

"Oh, I have to say, Ambrosio's craft is getting better and better." Professor Slughorn munched on the candied pineapple and showed off to Dumbledore,

"The best thing I could do was introduce him to Citheron Husky and get him his first job.

To this day, I still buy this delicious pineapple compote at Duke Bee's candy store at half price! ”

"Yes, you do have a good eye, Horace." Dumbledore took a sip of soaked water, showed an intoxicated expression, and then said as if unintentionally,

"Especially since you're always willing to teach some magic to those gifted students......"

"Ahem!" Professor Slughorn coughed hard, suddenly intrigued by his frosted fingers.

At the same time, he asked casually, "Why hasn't Severus brought Harley yet?"

I can't wait to talk to that kid again. Merlin is on top, she is really talented, more talented than her mother.

Over the past year, I've been inspired by her whimsical ideas! If I'm still at Hogwarts, I'm going to get her to my club! ”

Dumbledore smiled and nodded. Previously, he only subconsciously mentioned it casually.

He definitely couldn't ask about such an important matter in public.

The two didn't wait long.

Soon, the door to a small room dedicated to apparitions on the first floor of the Leaky Cauldron was opened, and Professor Snape walked out with Harry.

"Severus, we're over here!" Dumbledore raised his glass in motion.

"Hello Professor, long time no see." Hallie sat down and greeted Professor Slughorn.

Although Slughorn is no longer a professor, he still likes to be called a professor the most.

He had always decided that his choice to become a Potions professor at Hogwarts was the right choice for him, as it gave him access to a large number of talented students.

"Long time no see, Harley. A piece of pineapple compote, a new product that just sent me from Duke Bee's candy store this morning. ”

Professor Slughorn pointed to the beautifully packaged box in his hand, the frosting on his fingers had disappeared at some point, and his feet had been lowered from the velvet cushion.

"If I'm not mistaken, you'll be in your third year this semester, so you can go to Hogsmeade.

When the time comes, be sure to visit the Duke of Bee candy store, where the delicious food is not to be missed. ”

"Thank you, Professor, for recommending." Harley said sweetly, wrapping her hands in a handkerchief and carefully picking out a piece of candied fruit from the box.

"Hallie, this time we're going to play abroad for Hogwarts, so we're going through the official process." After the two ended their conversation, Dumbledore began to tell the itinerary,

"I applied for a portkey at the Ministry of Magic and set off in the afternoon, destined for the French Ministry of Magic.

After a simple check-in, we went straight to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Madame Maxim would reserve a few beds for us, and we would be able to meet acquaintances.

The Nicols will also be there to watch the game this time, so they will also be in Beauxbatons.

Then tomorrow we will take the transport of Beauxbatons to the specific race location. ”

"It's great, I still miss Beauxbatons' foie gras, caviar and flanked fish soup." Slughorn took a sip of grape juice and shook his head, or wine is better with pineapple compote.

"Professor, are we waiting here until the afternoon?" Harley asked.

"It's not necessary, you can go to Diagon Alley and just come back before two o'clock in the afternoon.

Your luggage is in the warehouse upstairs, and if you need to get some Galleons, you can call Old Tom to do it for you. ”

……

For the rest of the day before departure, Harley didn't go to Gringotts to withdraw the money.

Thanks to Professor Lockhart's gift, even the gem material was available, saving Harley from the bumps of the Gringotts cart.

After replenishing some potions and parchment, Harley wrote a letter to a few of her best friends, telling them that she was going to France and that she would not contact her for the time being.

This time Harley didn't use Hedwig again, but instead let her rest in the cage for a while and let a few public owls run the trip.

Everyone else wished Harley a smooth journey, after all, she had received the right homework.

Although it was missing, it was the professor who exempted Harley from her homework in front of everyone, and they couldn't say anything.

Hermione expressed her regret that she couldn't attend the game.

Although the Granger couple also took her on a tour to France, the destinations were the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral.

Obviously, the Potions Tournament at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is not in their tour plans, nor can it be on their tour plans.

But she wrote back that her family planned to stay from mid-July to the end of August.

If Harley hadn't left Paris by then, the Grangers could take her on a tour of the Muggle world.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the four of them went directly to the Ministry of Magic through the apparition apparition.

Professor Dumbledore somehow got a bag with the Traceless Stretch Charm on it, and the bag was quite large.

Hallie watched as the bag easily filled everyone's luggage, including Professor Slughorn's two large boxes of candied pineapple fruit.

Going through the process at the Ministry of Magic was easy and quick.

Obviously, as a well-known figure, Professor Dumbledore simply sent an appointment to the Ministry of Magic, wrote a letter, and the formalities were taken care of by the staff.

The four said they were going to go through the procedure, but in fact they only signed it, and then they received a portkey.

"Albus, with you leading the team this time, we will definitely win the final victory.

This will be a milestone for the generations, marking the second time that we in the UK and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have come through the Wizarding Wars......"

Before leaving, Fudge appeared in a neat suit and bow tie in a room reserved for international travelers to use their portkeys.

He shook Professor Dumbledore's hand vigorously, a smile on his face, and recited the lines he had memorized with emotion.

Look at his smug look, his head held high, as if he also has great merits.

After greeting the three professors in turn, Fudge's eyes turned to Harley, and the smile on his face became more and more kind and kind:

"Hallie, you have to do it! The glory of British wizarding is on you!

I believe that a genius like you will easily defeat other players, win the championship, and make the British wizarding world great again! ”

"Thank you for your blessings, I will definitely do my best." Hallie bent her knees slightly, a sincere smile on her face.

(Thank you for the reward of the nine-tailed Yanhu and the silent little punishment!) ）
