I swung a sword at Hogwarts

In the crystal ball, the Irish team holds the trophy.

Tang Mi naturally knew how huge a sum of money this was. You have to know that the number of people watching the Quidditch World Cup every year is at least 50,000 or 60,000, if not 100,000. If each person paid 10 Galleons, it would be an astronomical figure.

This requires someone trustworthy to handle it, so Tang Mi took some of his men and went to the Department of Magical Sports and Physical Education.

You can open it secretly, but it is not necessary.

Appropriate outflow of profits can save you a lot of trouble.

John wouldn't care about this little money.

However, the application was submitted very quickly, and Ludo Bagman, Director of the Department of Magical Games and Sports, was extremely happy when he heard that the odds were going to be opened.

He even asked implicitly whether officials had any discounts when placing bets.

"Ludo Bagman is a gambler. He has lost everything, but he is still passionate about these things." Tang Mi came back to tell the result and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "He used to be the best hitter of the Hornets, but now he can fit a barrel in his stomach."

"Do you know him?" John heard something different.

Tang Mi hesitated for a moment and said honestly, "I used to be a fan of Wimbledon Hornets. At that time, I played for the Ministry of Magic with Oz and Lippi."

Talking about the past, Tang Mi felt a little melancholy.

If he hadn't been bitten by a werewolf that time, he might still be struggling for promotion in the Ministry of Magic.

This time when he went to the Ministry of Magic, he also met his old friends, Oz Hildre and Lippi Kerber. They are still standing still, which made Tang Mi sigh.

John picked up the Ministry of Magic document and looked at it. Hearing this, he said without raising his head: "You can have a good chat with your friends. Now you don't need to hide from others, right?"

Tang Mi was stunned.

After confirming that the document was correct, John looked at Tang Mi who was still in a daze and said speechlessly, "You didn't go to see them for a day, did you?"

Tang Mi was embarrassed. He scratched his head with a blush on his face, looking like a shy big boy.

Walking into the fireplace, John glanced at Tang Mi and said, "I don't mind you having your own friends, Tang Mi. Everyone has their own social circle. I don't control everything."

With that, the blue flames engulfed John.

He disappeared into the office.

That bright face appeared in Tang Mi's mind. They used to be inseparable. Before being bitten by the werewolf, he had never even thought of being separated.

He used to be full of ambition, but now he is wasting his time in the Ministry of Magic.

He made up his mind and walked out of Johnny Silverhand's store without even hearing his men calling him.

Walking into a flower shop, he bought a bouquet of flowers awkwardly.

"We haven't seen each other for so long, I should at least bring some gifts." He said to himself.

...

Dudley had been trying to lose weight recently, and John could often see Dudley jogging along Privet Drive.

As he passed his own door, Dudley ran as fast as if a dog was chasing him.

Apart from the fact that Watson found an eyeball while mowing the lawn a few days ago, John thought it was also because of his four vicious uncles.

Now the Dursleys have completely believed that the Wicks are the same as those big guys. After all, on the day off, they saw with their own eyes several cars with ferocious-looking people getting out.

You can tell at a glance that he is someone who will stay in prison.

Harry's treatment at the Dursleys' had improved, and Uncle Vernon no longer yelled at him at every turn, although sometimes he would yell subconsciously and then apologize in panic after realizing it belatedly.

Aunt Petunia no longer looked stern.

When Harry saw Aunt Petunia buying clothes for him that day, he felt that they were under the Imperius Curse.

His room was no longer locked, and he no longer had to be so careful about doing his homework.

But because Dudley was trying to lose weight, he needed to eat vegetables with him.

This made Harry, who had been eating vegetables for a month, miserable. He wrote letters to his friends, hoping to get some delicious food.

Of course, the premise is that Dudley doesn't find out.

Dudley couldn't control his mouth now. There were several times when he "sleepwalked" to the kitchen. When he opened the refrigerator, there was nothing inside, which made him almost cry.

Harry had suggested to him that he should go to John's place, where there would surely be lots of delicious food.

Dudley was moved, but was soon overwhelmed by the shadow of his childhood.

He shook his head and refused to accept the offer. At that time, three children had snatched John's Chinese dumplings, and John simply pressed the children's hands and performed the pencil disappearing trick.

That incident cast a huge shadow on Dudley.

During that period, I even kept shouting "Pencil, don't come here" in my dreams, and I slept with my parents for a week.

Harry also began to write letters more frequently, mostly to Sirius.

He always has endless things to say to his godfather.

As a result, Hedwig's originally chubby body became slimmer.

Basil's favorite thing was to stand by the window and cast contemptuous looks at Hedwig who was busy flying around.

If it weren't for the window, the two snowy owls would definitely fight.

After Harry's eager wait, his birthday arrived as scheduled.

Hagrid, Hermione, Ron, and Sirius, they sent four big cakes.

And on that day Harry was happy.

John stared at the Daily Prophet in his hand. The atmosphere was eerily quiet.

"The Ministry lost Peter Pettigrew?"

John looked up at Pierce.

Pierce said terrifiedly, "A week after he went to Azkaban, Peter Pettigrew disappeared."

"It ran away, it's really a mouse." John put down the newspaper expressionlessly.

He should have thought that if Sirius could escape, then Pettigrew should be able to as well.

...

Chapter 182 Invitation and Invitation

Peter Pettigrew disappeared without a trace after leaving Azkaban. Unlike Sirius Black, this time Peter Pettigrew seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth.

He took advantage of the period when the Ministry of Magic was leaderless, and Pierce was afraid that this incident would affect his position as Head of the Auror Office.

"Don't worry, this matter won't affect you."

With the comfort from Johnny Silverhand, Pierce finally felt relieved.

To be honest, it really has little to do with him. The case has been transferred to Azkaban. The Aurors have performed their duties, and the blame should be placed on the Dementors in Azkaban.

Due to previous incidents of Dementors attacking students, many officials in the Ministry of Magic began to question Dementors.

This time Peter Pettigrew escaped again, forcing them to re-examine the Dementors and see if they were capable of continuing to hold this position.

However, he can only be replaced after the new Minister of Magic takes office.

To this end, the Ministry of Magic spared no effort to throw all the dirty water on the Dementors.

Rita Skeeter has attracted public attention with her outstanding articles in recent days and has successfully become the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet.

She has a much greater say, and the public opinion she can generate has also increased.

At the instruction of John and the suggestion of the Ministry of Magic, Rita took decisive action and wrote an article entitled "Is it necessary for the uncontrolled Dementors to continue to stay?", directly blaming Peter Pettigrew's escape entirely on the Dementors' inaction.

There was a heated discussion in the wizarding community and people were very excited. Some people wrote to the Ministry of Magic demanding the expulsion of Dementors.

They received all these letters, and what to do when the new Minister of Magic takes office becomes a new problem.

It is also because of this attitude that people's dissatisfaction with the Dementors incident has escalated again.

If it weren't for the news of the Quidditch World Cup, I'm afraid thousands of people would ask for the Dementors to be expelled.

Barty Crouch, who released the news, successfully made his presence felt. He needed to negotiate with the Ministers of Magic of various countries regarding the Quidditch World Cup.

The people from the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic always wanted more good positions, so Barty Crouch had to send them back.

He was even somewhat fortunate that although his current position was not the core, it happened to be the most visible one at the moment.

Compared to him, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement isn't that great.

No one even cares what Amelia Bones does now.

With the help of the Quidditch World Cup, Barty quickly returned to the public eye.

...

Heinrich came to the Silverhand Johnny store. John wanted to say that you had a good time in Ilvermorny, but when he saw the gloomy face, he didn't say it.

"How are you getting along with Jin?" John asked when he saw that he didn't say anything.

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he mentioned that guy, Heinrich couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This made John curious, even the twins had never made Heinrich so upset.

"I hate that guy," Heinrich said.

Kim Ledisla is like his opposite, the exact opposite of Heinrich's personality.

It is like a bright sun, emitting its light all the time, making vampires who hate the sun feel dazzling.

But this person always comes over. No matter where Heinrich is, Jin can always appear in the next second.

The time spent with Jin was the most unhappy time for Heinrich.

John didn't expect the two of them to be so repulsive. He looked calmly at the letter Jin wrote to him. It clearly said that he and Heinrich had a lot of fun and they were good friends.

"You duelled with him?"

Knowing that Heinrich hated the weak, John guessed that there must have been a fight.

He guessed correctly, Heinrich and Kim had a fight.

As mentioned above, the two people are complete opposites.

Heinrich is proficient in curses and various dark magic, while Kim Ledislay is a student who scored full marks in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Heinrich is best at fire spells, while Kim Ledislay is best at fire extinguishing spells.

So when facing Jin, Heinrich felt a sense of being restrained and frustrated.

This also made Heinrich train harder. Seeing him like this, John sighed and said, "Okay, but I have tickets for the Quidditch World Cup. Do you want to go with me?"

John sent an invitation to Heinrich, but Heinrich said with a look of suppressed disgust: "That guy gave me one."

Well, it seems that the extra card I have will be difficult to give away.

Thinking about the people he knew, Fleur was going to the World Cup with Beauxbatons School, Hermione and Harry had already made an appointment with the Weasleys, Luna was going with her father, Neville was going to accompany his parents in the hospital, and Cedric was going with his father.

That Malfoy kid sent messages to everyone as soon as he got the tickets.

As he counted, John thought of Daphne.

Taking off the badge, John knocked it and eight names appeared on it.

Daphne was chosen, and John sent the message.

After a while, Daphne sent a message.

It was just that the handwriting was a little hasty. “Great, John, I want to go too. Thank you for the invitation.”

"See you at the Quidditch World Cup then."

When Daphne saw the words on the badge, she couldn't help but toss and turn in her bed.

Covering her face with a pillow, she was in her pajamas, with her feet dangling out of the bed.

When her younger sister Astoria Greengrass opened the door and came in, she saw her older sister looking like a young girl in love.

"Sis, mom and dad have tickets for the Quidditch World Cup."

Daphne stopped tumbling, took the pillow away, and said expressionlessly, "Tear up the ticket!"

Astoria: "Huh?"
