Chapter 38: Departure ~ Quidditch World Cup!

Sleeping is a big problem.

Although they have to wake up early to go to the Quidditch World Cup, they can't go without sleep during this time.

Mrs. Weasley looked at the row of young wizards in front of her, and felt only a wave of happiness and trouble.

As a particularly warm person, the happiest thing is when someone comes to the house, but what if there are too many guests.

Bill and Charlie returned, and even if they needed to save any more, they took up Fred and George's room.

Percy, on the other hand, insisted on taking a room alone, on the grounds that his 'job involved the secrets of the Ministry of Magic', and that he had to be alone in order to prevent leaks.

Although the other Weasley brothers complained about it, Mrs. Weasley strongly supported Percy.

"Alright, well, I'll think—" Mrs. Weasley put her hands around her waist and counted them one by one.

Hermione can live with Ginny.

But the rest are George, Fred, Harry, Malfoy, Zhang Xiao, Ron, right, and Sirius Black!

"Honey, why don't we pitch a tent outside?" Mr. Arthur's face was flushed with wine, and he had drunk those sweet drinks before.

When she said this, her eyes sparkled, and she looked at Mo Li expectantly.

Mrs. Weasley hesitated, preferring to expand the room with the Traceless Stretching Charm.

However, because the husband and wife did not understand the relationship between the building, a lot of magic was used in the process of expanding upwards.

The conflict between magic and magic is not a trivial matter, and if it is not handled well, it is very likely to blow up the Burrow, but the magic tent.

"Alright—that's it—" she said hesitantly.

Well? Don't use a Traceless Stretching Charm?

Zhang Xiao tried to ask, "Mrs. Weasley, you don't have to set up a tent, after all, it's quite troublesome to set up a tent." I've got a solution."

Truth be told, magic tents are a bit of a hassle, the main reason is that once the tent is set up, Arthur insists on building it 'the Muggle way' every time.

In front of outsiders, Mrs. Weasley has always given her husband face

Zhang Xiao fumbled in the Qiankun bag for a while, Zhang Xiao found his 'three-bedroom and one living room' mini hut and put it on the ground of the garden in everyone's curious eyes.

Under the effect of the spell, the three-bedroom hall swelled rapidly like blowing up a balloon.

"Wow-"

The little wizards watched as the room swelled like a blow of air as they puffed up.

"Expansion Charm? The expansion spell can still be used like this? ”

Hermione covered her face, she had never thought that the spell could be used like this, it was like opening the door to a new world.

Even more excited than she was the Weasley twins, their eyes shining as if they had been inspired by something new.

A scare box with a built-in expansion charm? Eat candy that can become a monster and become bigger? Giant canary cookies?

The adults reacted much more normally than the young wizards, clapping their hands and praising it as a very creative use of the Expansion Charm.

Arthur looked at the hut and said nostalgically: "I remember when I learned the Expansion Charm, I cast it on a mushroom, and it became bigger than me, and finally the spell got out of control and the mushroom exploded.

I spent half a semester in the school infirmary, and Professor McGonagall nearly stripped Gryffindor naked. ”

Molly laughed because she remembered the fool so much that she had to travel back and forth between the school infirmary and her classroom a lot.

"Sirius, what about you?"

Blake shrugged, "I wanted to give Snape a little bit of a bigger nose, but it ended up being a conflict between us and Slytherin."

While the adults were talking, the little wizards had collectively pushed open the door and rushed in.

It's just that the furnishings inside have disappointed them a little.

There is nothing but some simple furniture, and it also looks a little rough.

Zhang Xiao looked at the little wizards shaking their heads and sighing and walked out with a smile, no, what are you expecting.

This is originally a fan toy, how can it be as delicate as the real thing!

Because the young wizard had lost interest in living here, a new plan for living was decided at great speed.

Bill Charlie, Sirius and the trio lived here, and Fred and George went back to their rooms.

It was the first time Zhang Xiao had spent the night in the Burrow, and he followed Harry Ron upstairs rather curiously, but Malfoy had lived.

So he climbed upstairs with ease, and although he didn't say anything, everyone could see that he was very happy, and maybe he preferred the Burrow to Malfoy Manor.

They climbed two more floors to a peeling paint door, which had a small sign that read "Ron's room."

Zhang Xiao walked in, it was low and scary, and the sloping ceiling almost touched his head.

Everything in the room looked a dazzling orange-yellow: the bedspreads, the walls, even the ceiling.

These are promotional posters for Charried's artillery team, Ron's favorite Quidditch team, textbooks piled up in the corner, and some comic books at the top, "Mad Muggle Martin. The Adventures of Migs.

It tells the story of a Muggle who strays into the wizarding world.

The poster shows the team members flying around the walls and sloping ceilings, waving non-stop.

There was still a goldfish bowl on the windowsill, and there was a frighteningly large frog in it, watching the mosquitoes flying in the window.

A petite owl jumps up and down in a small cage, chirping and chirping.

"Shut up, piggy." Ron said, leaning sideways through the two beds, and the room was packed with four beds.

"Alright guys, that's where we're staying tonight." He spread his hands, his face a little red.

Malfoy threw his satchel on the outermost cot and said unquestionably:

"That's what I slept here, that's where I slept last time I came."

Zhang Xiao threw herself on the bed, and immediately wanted to squint her eyes comfortably, although the place was small, Mrs. Weasley was obviously very careful when laying the bed.

The futon is very soft and lightweight, and if you just lie on it, you will immediately sink in, as if lying in a cloud.

It was late at night, and they turned off the lights, chatted quietly, listened to the monotonous sound of the ghouls banging on the water pipes upstairs, and fell asleep in a short time.

"Click"

The voice was very small, but Zhang Xiao immediately opened his eyes, instinctively touched the wand, but the next second he relaxed, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said:

"Mrs. Weasley, is the time up?"

Molly lit a soft orange light and whispered:

"Yes, it's time to go, kid."

Zhang Xiao sat up, it was still dark outside, and he heard Ron muttering impatiently as he was woken up by her mother.

Harry and Malfoy nearly rolled together—because the beds were so close that they were almost together.

The two of them had already reacted, and they were throwing their heads to one side as they vomited.

Everyone dressed silently, too sleepy to speak. Then the four of them went downstairs into the kitchen, still yawning and stretching.

Mr. Weasley sat at his table, checking a large piece of parchment tickets—Malfoy had brought several.

Dressed in a Muggle-like short-sleeved shirt and oversized jeans, he shouted happily at the sight of several people:

"We should have concealed our identities when we went - am I like a Muggle, Harry, Zhang?"

Zhang Xiao and Harry forced a smile and nodded:

"It's a lot like, it's a great outfit."

Mr. Weasley nodded in satisfaction, put his things away, and began to explain the process of getting to the court.

For example, many wizards will apparition and will directly apparilate to the venue, but this is limited to wizards who know the specific location and have been there.

Phantom shifters can't go where they haven't been, and at this point, the proximity of the Dao Gate is completely different from the shrinking of the earth.

Although they were all things that he had already understood, Zhang Xiao still listened quietly beside him.

Apparently Harry and Ron had developed a keen interest in Apparition and wanted to learn it right away.

Mr. Weasley had to scare them:

"One day, the Department of Magical Traffic fined two people for apparition without a certificate. It's not an easy thing to do, and if you don't do it right, you can get into trouble, which is annoying. The two people I'm talking about ended up parting ways."

He frightened Harry with the split phenomenon, and as he spoke, Harry's face became whiter and whiter, and finally Mr. Weasley summed it up unsatisfactorily:

"You must not play with apparitions. Many adult wizards don't want to get into trouble. They prefer to use a broom—slower, but safer. ”

Footsteps were heard in the hallway, and Hermione and Ginny walked into the kitchen, both of them looking very pale as if they hadn't woken up.

"Why do we have to get up so early?" Ginny asked, rubbing her eyes, sitting down at the table.

"Because we've got a long way to go." Mr. Weasley touched Ginny's little head.

"Walking?" Harry asked, "What, we're walking to watch the World Cup?" ”

"No, no, that's too far," Mr. Weasley said with a laugh, "and we'll only have to walk a little way." It was very difficult to get a large group of wizards together without attracting the attention of Muggles. We had to be very cautious and choose the best time to hit the road, on a big occasion like the Quidditch World Cup—"

As time passed, everyone gradually broke free from the confusion of not waking up, and the longing for Quidditch took hold again.

They ate their breakfast quickly, and were ready to set off without haste.

Even in summer, the morning air is still cold and the moon is still high in the sky.

Only a faint gray-green glow appeared on the horizon to their right, indicating that dawn was approaching.

A large crowd listened to Mr. Weasley's explanation of the organization of the World Cup as they hurried along.

The destination is Stoat Mountain, which is not far away, but that is only relative, and Cedric's family lives on the other side of Stoat Mountain.

To be honest, the journey up the mountain was not pleasant, Zhang Xiao thought it was okay, but the hidden rabbit hole and slippery blades of grass caused them a lot of trouble.

Especially the two girls, unexpectedly, Malfoy, Harry and Ron insisted on it without saying a word, and a year of exercise also made them in good health.

Zhang Xiao had to quietly find a few charms and paste them on Ginny and Hermione's bodies.

The effect was immediate, and they felt that their bodies were immediately much lighter, so in the stunned eyes of several little boys, the two girls let out a cheerful laugh, like a deer in the woods.

Jumping up and running.

"Some for you too?" Zhang Xiao shook the yellow talisman in his hand, the light talisman, also called the body as light as a swallow talisman, the effect is similar to the floating spell, although it is not as strong as the floating spell, but it can be used by pasting it.

The three of them shook their heads together, and Malfoy glanced at Harry and Potter, his pale face flushed with exercise, and wiped the sweat from his head:

"It's a contest, if a sissy wants to cheat, let them be."

Harry and Ron were furious and offered to let Malfoy know who the sissy was.

Well, it's no wonder that a few people didn't say a word, and they even tried it!

Zhang Xiao shook his head and decided not to pay attention to these three living treasures, the golden light was dark, and his toes were light, just a few tosses and turns, and he jumped to the top of the mountain.

At this time, the morning light was slightly dewed, and the white of the fish belly on the horizon was turning to gold, and Hermione and Ginny were standing aside, gazing at the beauty of the sunrise.

The sunlight gave the two of them a thin layer of gold edges, like statues of ancient Greece, with a different kind of beauty.

"Hey, Zhang, Hermione!"

A familiar voice rang out not far away, and they turned their heads to see Cedric standing not far away with his bag on his back waving at them, and beside him was a red-faced wizard with worn-out boots.

"Cedric!"

Because they were all in the dueling club, everyone had a pretty good relationship, and Hermione waved happily.

It was at this point that Mr. Weasley finally appeared at the top of the mountain with the boys.

"Ah, ah, ah, Arthur, my old fellow, are so many of them your children?"

Amos Diggory asked in surprise as he looked kindly at the children around him.

"Of course not." Arthur waved his hand and said breathlessly, "The red-haired ones are." ”

He wanted to introduce the rest of the children, but Cedric already smiled and said:

"Dad, they're all good friends of mine at school, I told you, dueling club!"

Amos patted his head with a sudden realization: "It's the best student club that only geniuses can join?" ”

Cedric was stunned, embarrassed and helpless, and said:

"Daddy. No, it's not what you say. “

"Of course that's the case, Zhang? Is that the legendary successor to Dumbledore, the one who is about as good as you? ”

Well, since he mentioned himself, Zhang Xiao could only say hello:

"Hello, Mr. Amos."

Cedric's face was already flushed, and he was almost begging his father not to continue.

"Okay, okay—" Amos Diggory patted his son on the back, "Our Side has always been so modest and always gentlemanly."

Harry, Ron and Malfoy were on the verge of holding back, and they kept their faces shut, trying not to let themselves laugh.

are all very good friends, so naturally they won't be annoyed by their good friend's father blowing his child.

Mr. Weasley and Amos exchanged pleasantries for a while, wondering if anyone would come, and after making sure that no one was coming, they finally beckoned everyone to form a circle.

Zhang Xiao looked at the worn-out boots and sighed, he couldn't help but think of the doorkey in the second grade, which was so special.

"Three......," Mr. Weasley whispered, with one eye fixed on his pocket watch.

Zhang Xiao stretched out a finger and put it on her worn boot.

I hate portkeys!

"II...... One ......"

When Zhang Xiao's feet touched the ground again, he heard a voice say:

"Five and seven o'clock, from Weasel Mountain."
