I swung a sword at Hogwarts

John wanted to tell him that Ludo Bagman gave tickets to many families because he wanted them to pay more money to participate in the guessing game.

This is a shrewd and mercenary man who knows that the wool comes from the sheep, and he is particularly generous when giving out tickets.

Fleur was very interested in Durmstrang and Ilvermorny. She asked them vaguely if they knew anything about the Triwizard Tournament.

Heinrich glanced at her indifferently. Because of the Triwizard Tournament, he didn't have to return to Durmstrang this year.

Kim Ludislai It's a pity that Ilvermorny has no room to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. Although Ilvermorny is a world-class magic school, it is not a European school and is not on the list of players in the Triwizard Tournament.

Fleur was very proud of this, as Beauxbatons had been around much longer than Ilvermorny.

Cedric was gentle and could talk to anyone. He and Jin Cai became friends quickly after they met.

Even the proud Furong liked this gentle big boy very much, and the two of them had a great time talking to each other.

Daphne stared at Fleur with a wary look on her face. This woman who was as bewitching as a veela was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Astoria takes good care of her younger sister Gabrielle, as they struggle to decide between some colorful snacks.

The atmosphere here was very good. Percy looked at the time and decided to leave first to deal with the reception of the officials.

Opening the tent, he saw a tall figure.

It's Hagrid.

A group of wizard children surrounded him, talking about big monsters and the like, which made Hagrid feel a little awkward.

He muttered with a look of helplessness on his face, afraid that he would accidentally step on those little things.

"Professor Hagrid." Percy walked over and helped him drive away those annoying wizard children.

Percy is a polite man and Hagrid is the Care of Magical Animals professor.

Hagrid was very happy that Percy came to his rescue, and he received tickets for the Quidditch World Cup from John.

Originally he had no time to attend, but Dumbledore gave him a day off after finding out.

In the next tent, Harry heard Hagrid's voice coming out, and Ron was also rescued from Mrs. Weasley's nagging.

A little further away, from a smaller tent, Hermione also ran out.

"Hagrid!"

They were pleasantly surprised to see Hagrid coming over. Hagrid laughed and asked, "Do you know where John's tent is? I think I'm a little lost."

"I'm sorry, Hagrid, we didn't know." Harry didn't know that John's tent was right next to him.

Instead, Percy pointed to the circus-like tent and said, "There, there, Professor Hagrid."

Looking in the direction of his finger, Harry had previously complained to Ron about whether there was a circus next door.

Hermione said in surprise: "John is there."

A few people came over and tentatively opened the tent door.

Inside is a luxurious tent that can accommodate fifty people.

Hagrid was sneaky, but his height was so obvious.

Gabrielle stared blankly at this big guy who was as tall as Ms. Maxime, and couldn't help but said with her mouth wide open: "You are just like Ms. Maxime."

Fleur thought it was some strange wizard that broke in, so she drew out her wand and looked alert.

Jin was fine, he had seen Hagrid when he was working at Johnny Silverhand's store.

"Hagrid, it's so nice of you to come."

John greeted him with a surprised smile. Hagrid saw that the little girl Gabrielle was still looking at him, and shyly waved his hand to greet her.

He moved very gently, as if he was afraid of accidentally blowing the little girl away.

Three more heads popped up from behind, they were three little ones.

They couldn't help but open their mouths as wide as Gabrielle's when they saw the luxury of the tent.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione."

John greeted them one by one, and the three little ones were stunned when they came in.

Ron, in particular, was a little confused as to why there was such a large tent. He thought that a Quidditch match could be held in it. Of course, this was just an exaggeration.

The group introduced themselves to each other and soon John noticed that something was wrong with Harry and Ron.

Both of them blushed and glanced at Furong from time to time.

Furong sneered and flicked her hair, causing the two young boys, who were not well-versed in the world, to turn red in the ears.

Malfoy got jealous (?) when he saw this, he walked up to Harry and used his taunting skill out of habit, allowing the two boys to instantly break free from the state of being charmed by the Veela attributes.

John knew that Fleur was of Veela descent, and that all these charms were innate to her.

Most boys really can't control themselves. As for why the Star Club is fine, it's because they have extremely strong psychological qualities.

Even Malfoy had received emotional training from John, and his psychological quality was developed by being scolded.

The others were chatting harmoniously, but the three people over there were just about to cast a curse.

Elsewhere, Hermione found John to talk about holiday homework.

When Daphne saw it, she immediately came over with an attitude that said, "I'll see what you say," which left Hermione confused.

When Furong saw this, she almost laughed out loud.

She could naturally see what Daphne was thinking. Girls of this age could easily regard all the girls around them as enemies.

But unfortunately, Furong only regarded John as a friend and didn't have many thoughts about him.

Furong originally had a good impression of Cedric, but after hearing that he had someone he liked, she decisively cut off that impression.

This is Furong, an extremely proud woman who never bothers to snatch men.

Hagrid's joining made the tent much more lively, and the two little girls liked Hagrid very much.

After all, who doesn’t like the cute big guy Hagrid?

It's like a big teddy bear, so safe.

It was not until lunch time that Mr. Weasley couldn't find the three little ones. After calling them a few times, the three little ones finally remembered to go back.

Fleur also left, and she took Gabrielle to say goodbye. Gabrielle waved to Hagrid reluctantly.

Malfoy thought of his parents and left quickly too, and the people in the tent left one by one.

That leaves Heinrich, Kim, and Hagrid.

Hagrid wanted to show off his cooking skills, and John felt that his teeth might hurt a little, so Kim offered to help with the cooking and took Heinrich away at the same time, under the pretext of helping to light the fire.

Heinrich was so angry that he wanted to pull out his wand again.

Daphne didn't want to leave, but her sister used all her strength to pull her away.

Such a sister makes her younger sister tired.

At lunch time, Bill, the eldest son, and Charlie, the second son, from the Weasley family next door came.

When Hagrid heard Charlie, he immediately ran over to discuss the news about the dragon Norbert.

As a boy, Norbert was sent away in the first grade and was missed very much by his mother.

John took a few bites and Jin thought it was not to his taste.

John just smiled and didn't ask anything.

He heard the voice of Ludo Bagman, who was encouraging the twins to place bets and making Mr. Weasley want to get rid of him.

"I remember there was a special place for betting." John walked out of the tent and said with a half-smile, "Isn't Mr. Bagman secretly setting up an illegal betting site behind someone's back?"

Ludo Bagman didn't know John. He said awkwardly, "Haha, how could that be?"

The twins were not fools, and they immediately became alert when they heard this.

John noticed that they had taken out quite a lot of money.

It seems that they made a lot of money from selling props last year. After thinking for a while, John continued, "If you want to make a bet, there are formal channels near the stadium."

“Give us our money back.”

"And a fake wand!"

The Weasley twins rushed to grab it back, and Ludo Bagman ran away, shouting, "You've already placed your bets."

Although he is fat now, Ludo Bagman was once the best batsman with great speed and reaction.

The Weasley twins simply failed to catch up and watched the fat man with yellow and black stripes disappear.

Percy came back and brought Barty Crouch with him, and they came looking for Ludo Bagman, but the guy ran away so fast.

By the evening, the Quidditch World Cup officially began.

Chapter 187 World Cup and Turmoil

Quidditch World Cup Stadium.

Before entering the venue, you can hear laughter, shouting, and intermittent singing coming from inside.

"It is worthy of being the top competition in the wizarding world."

I bought a pair of panoramic binoculars from a vendor. This is a multifunctional binoculars that can replay images, slow motion, and detect the tactical formation used by the team.

John played with it curiously; his ticket was first class, in the top box.

The people here are either officials from the Ministry of Magic or wealthy people.

Hagrid stood nearby with an excited look on his face.

The purple and gilded chair was a little too small for Hagrid, and he wanted to stand, so John helped him make the seat bigger.

The crowd below moved in like ants, and Daphne ran over and sat next to John.

Mrs. Greengrass looked at it and said nothing, but Mr. Greengrass was a little unhappy.

Hagrid suddenly became so nervous that he nearly broke the Omniscope.

John looked over and saw Madam Maxime, and around her were students wearing Beauxbatons uniforms.

The silver-haired heads of Fleur and her sister Gabrielle could also be seen; they were not in the box, but below in the uniform blue silk school uniforms.

Hagrid was looking straight at Madame Maxime, and John looked from Hagrid to Madame Maxime.

"She's so beautiful," murmured Hagrid.

"puff--"

John was shocked to see that he looked like an old tree that has found new life.

The Malfoy family arrived, and the father and son looked exactly like they were cut from the same cloth. Next to Lucius was his wife, Narcissa, a beautiful woman.

In addition to them, there was also a house-elf who looked similar to Dobby, which was particularly eye-catching. It was wrapped in a tea towel for wiping the tea set and had its face buried in its hands.

John looked over and his expression changed slightly.

He saw something hidden next to the elf.

It must be the invisibility cloak. John stared over there, and the man in the invisibility cloak seemed to notice him and looked over.

John turned his head away and pretended not to see.

On the right side of the top box, almost parallel to it, there is a huge blackboard.

Golden words kept flashing on it, as if an invisible hand was writing on the blackboard with great vigor.

That was the Quidditch World Cup advertising area, and the blackboard was big enough for everyone to see clearly what was written.

"Cornflower: A broomstick for the whole family, safe and reliable, with a built-in anti-theft buzzer."

"Mrs. Skoll's All-Purpose Magic Stain Remover: Removes Stains Easily!"

"Fengya brand wizard uniform..."

"Johnny Silverhand Store: Providing the most exquisite and comprehensive props services for wizards."

“Silver Hand Publishing: We do not produce knowledge, we are just the carriers of knowledge. We hope that every outstanding article can illuminate the magical world.”

"Silver Hand Angel Investment: Want my Galleons? Take them if you want! Bring your smart ideas, Silver Hand will guide you!"
