Chapter 356 Set Off for the Quidditch World Cup!
Chapter 356 Let’s go~Quidditch World Cup!
Sleeping is a big problem.
Although they had to get up early to go to the Quidditch World Cup, they couldn't go without sleep during this time.
Mrs. Weasley looked at the row of little wizards in front of her and felt a wave of happy annoyance arise spontaneously.
As a very enthusiastic person, the happiest thing is when someone comes to your home as a guest, but what if there are too many guests?
Bill and Charlie came back. No matter how much they saved, they still needed a room, so they occupied Fred and George's room.
Percy, on the other hand, insisted on occupying a room alone, on the grounds that his 'work involves Ministry of Magic secrets', and in order to prevent leaks, he had to be alone.
Although the other Weasley brothers criticized this, Mrs. Weasley still strongly supported Percy.
"Okay, okay, let me think about it-" Mrs. Weasley put her hands on her waist and counted them one by one.
Hermione could live with Ginny.
But the rest are George, Fred, Harry, Malfoy, Zhang Xiao, Ron, and yes, Sirius Black!
"Honey, how about we set up a tent outside?" Mr. Arthur's face was red and he was drunk. He had drank a lot of sweet drinks before.
When he said this, his eyes were bright and he looked at Molly expectantly.
Mrs. Weasley hesitated, and according to her ideas, she would rather use the Seamless Extension Charm to enlarge the room.
But because the couple didn't understand the relationship between architecture and the whole burrow, a lot of magic was used in the process of expanding.
The conflict between magic and magic is not a small matter. If it is not handled well, it is very likely to blow up the Burrow, but the magic tent.
"Okay - that's it -" she said hesitantly.
Um? No need for the Seamless Stretching Charm?
Zhang Xiao tried to ask: "Mrs. Weasley, you don't have to set up a tent. After all, setting up a tent is quite troublesome. I have an idea."
This is true, magic tents are indeed a bit troublesome. The main reason is that once the tent is set up, Arthur has to insist on setting it up 'in the Muggle way' every time.
In front of outsiders, Mrs. Weasley always gives her husband face.
Zhang Xiao rummaged around in the Qiankun bag for a while, then found his own mini house with three bedrooms and one living room, and placed it on the ground in the garden amid everyone's curious gazes.
Under the influence of the magic spell, the three rooms and one living room expanded rapidly like a balloon.
"Wow——"
The little wizards opened their mouths and watched as the room expanded like air, until it reached the size of a normal room.
"Is it an expansion spell? Can the expansion spell still be used in this way?"
Hermione covered her face. She had never thought that the spell could be used in this way. This approach seemed to open the door to a new world.
Even more excited than her were the Weasley twins, whose eyes sparkled as if they had gained some new inspiration.
A scare box with a built-in expansion spell? Eat candy that can turn you into a monster and grow bigger? Giant canary cookies?
Compared to the little wizard, the adults' reactions were much more normal. They clapped their hands and praised this very creative use of the expansion spell.
Arthur looked at the cabin and said nostalgically: "I still remember when I learned the expansion spell, I cast it on a mushroom. It became bigger than me. In the end, the spell went out of control and the mushroom exploded.
I stayed in the school infirmary for half a semester, and Professor McGonagall almost took away all the Gryffindors. "
Molly laughed because she remembered exactly this stupid thing that had forced her to travel back and forth between the school infirmary and class.
"What about you Sirius?"
Black shrugged: "I wanted to use it on Snape to make his nose bigger, but it ended up being a conflict between us and Slytherin.
While the adults were talking, the little wizards had collectively opened the door and rushed in.
But the furnishings inside made them a little disappointed.
There was nothing but some simple furniture and it looked a bit rough.
Zhang Xiao watched dumbfounded as the little wizards walked out shaking their heads and sighing, No, what were you expecting?
This is originally a mysterious toy, how could it be so exquisite as to be real?
Because the little wizard lost interest in living here, the new living plan was finalized very quickly.
Bill, Charlie, and Sirius lived here, and Fred and George still went to their own rooms.
This was the first time that Zhang Xiao spent the night at the Burrow. It was quite novel to follow Harry and Ron upstairs. Malfoy had lived there before.
So he climbed up the stairs with ease. Although Brother La didn't say it, everyone could see that he was very happy. Maybe Brother La liked the Burrow more than Malfoy Manor.
Everyone climbed two more floors and came to a door with peeling paint. There was a small sign on the door that read "Ron's Room."
Zhang Xiao walked in. The place was scary low and the sloping ceiling almost touched his head.
Everything in the room looked a dazzling orange: the bedspread, the walls, even the ceiling.
These were promotional posters for the Richard Cannons, Ron's favorite Quidditch team. The textbooks were piled messily in the corner, and at the top there were some comic books, "The Adventures of Crazy Muggle Martin Miggs".
It tells a series of ridiculous stories about a Muggle who mistakenly enters the magical world.
Posters showed players flying around the walls and sloping ceiling, waving.
There was still a goldfish bowl on the windowsill, with a frighteningly large frog inside, watching the mosquitoes flying around the window.
A petite owl jumped up and down in a small cage, chirping non-stop.
"Shut up, piggy." Ron said, squeezing sideways between the two beds. There were four beds in the room, packed to the brim.
"Okay guys, this is where we'll be staying tonight." He spread his hands, his face a little red.
Malfoy threw his small satchel on the outermost small bed and said without question:
"I'll sleep here. I slept here the last time I came."
Zhang Xiao pounced on the bed and immediately felt comfortable and wanted to squint his eyes. Although the place was small, Mrs. Weasley was obviously very careful when she made the bed.
The bedding was very soft and light. Just lying on it would sink immediately, as if lying in a cloud.
It was late at night. They turned off the lights, chatted quietly, listened to the monotonous sound of the ghouls knocking on the water pipes upstairs, and fell asleep in a short while.
"Click"
The sound was very small, but Zhang Xiao opened his eyes immediately and instinctively touched the wand. He relaxed in the next second, rubbing his sleepy eyes and said:
"Mrs. Weasley, is it time?"
Molly lit a soft orange light and whispered:
"Yes, it's time to go, kid."
Zhang Xiao sat up. It was still dark outside. He heard Ron mumbling something impatiently when he was awakened by his mother.
Harry and Malfoy almost rolled over together - because the beds were too close, they were almost put together.
They both reacted and were tilting their heads to one side to make vomiting movements.
Everyone put on their clothes silently, and they were too sleepy to talk. Then, the four of them went downstairs and walked into the kitchen, yawning and stretching.
Mr. Weasley sat at the table, checking a bunch of large tickets made of parchment - Malfoy also brought a few.
He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and oversized jeans that were common among Muggles. When he saw a few people, he shouted happily:
"We should hide our identities when we go there - do I look like a Muggle like this, Harry, Zhang?"
Zhang Xiao and Harry suppressed their smiles and nodded:
"Very much so, very well dressed."
Mr. Weasley nodded with satisfaction, put away his things, and began to explain the process of going to the stadium.
For example, many wizards can Apparate and will Apparate directly to the venue, but this is limited to wizards who know the specific address and have been there before.
Apparate cannot go to places you have never been to. In this regard, the Daomen's "close distance" and "shrinking the earth into an inch" are completely different.
Although these are things that have already been understood, Zhang Xiao still listened quietly beside him.
It was obvious that Harry and Ron had developed a strong interest in Apparition and wanted to learn it immediately.
Mr. Weasley had to scare them:
"One day, the Department of Magical Transportation fined two people because they Apparated without a certificate. This is not an easy thing to do. If you do it wrong, you will get into trouble, which is very annoying. The two people I mentioned ended up with their heads and bodies separated."
He used the phenomenon of separation to scare Harry. As he told the story, Harry's face became paler and paler. Finally, Mr. Weasley made a conclusion with a lingering feeling:
"You must not take Apparition as a joke. Many adult wizards don't want to cause this trouble. They would rather use a broom - although it is slower, it is safer. "
There were footsteps in the corridor, and Hermione and Ginny walked into the kitchen. Both of them looked very pale, as if they had not woken up.
"Why do we have to get up so early?" Ginny asked, rubbing her eyes and sitting down at the table.
"Because we have to walk a distance. "Mr. Weasley touched Ginny's little head.
"Walk?" Harry asked, "Why, we walk to watch the World Cup?"
"No, no, that's too far," Mr. Weasley said with a smile, "We only need to walk a short distance. It is very difficult to gather a large number of wizards together without attracting the attention of Muggles. We have to be very careful and choose the best time to set off. On such a grand occasion as the Quidditch World Cup-"
As time went by, everyone gradually broke free from the daze of not waking up yet, and the longing for Quidditch once again prevailed.
They ate breakfast quickly and were ready to set off without being urged.
Even in summer, the morning air was still very cold, and the moon was still high in the sky.
Only a faint gray-green appeared on the horizon on their right, indicating that dawn was gradually coming.
A large group of people listened to Mr. Weasley explain the world The organization of the cup, while rushing on the road with difficulty.
The destination is the White Stoat Mountain, which is not far away, but that is only relative, Cedric's family lives on the other side of the White Stoat Mountain.
To be honest, the mountain climbing journey is not pleasant. Zhang Xiao thinks it is okay, but the hidden rabbit hole and slippery grass leaves have 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 physical condition.
Zhang Xiao had to quietly take out a few talismans and stick them on Ginny and Hermione.
The effect was immediate, and they felt that their bodies immediately became much lighter. So while several little boys were stunned, the two girls laughed happily, like deer in the forest.
He jumped up and ran up.
"Give you some, too?" Zhang Xiao shook the yellow talisman in his hand. The Light Body Talisman, also called the Body Light as a Swallow Talisman, has a similar effect to the Floating Charm. Although it is not as effective as the Floating Charm, it can be used just by sticking it on.
The three of them shook their heads together. Malfoy glanced sideways at Harry and Ron, with a blush after exercise on his pale face, and wiped the sweat from his head:
"This is a competition, and if any sissies want to cheat, so be it."
Harry and Ron were furious and said they wanted to let Malfoy know who the sissy was.
Well, no wonder a few people didn't say a word and actually competed!
Zhang Xiao shook his head and decided not to pay attention to these three living treasures. With golden light and secret luck, he tapped his toes and jumped to the top of the mountain with just a few twists and turns.
At this time, the morning light was slightly dewing, and the fish belly white on the horizon was changing to golden color. Hermione and Ginny were standing aside, gazing at the beautiful sunrise in ecstasy.
The sunlight rimmed the two of them with a thin layer of gold, like ancient Greek statues, giving them a different kind of beauty.
"Hey, Zhang, Hermione!"
A familiar voice sounded not far away, and they turned their heads, only to see Cedric standing not far away with a bag on his back and waving to them. Beside him was a red-faced wizard holding worn-out boots.
"Cedric!"
Because they were all in the Duel Club, everyone had a pretty good relationship, and Hermione waved happily.
Just then, Mr. Weasley finally appeared at the top of the mountain with the boys.
"Ah, ah, ah, Arthur, my old man, are all these people your children?"
Amos Diggory looked at the children around him kindly and asked in surprise.
"Of course not." Arthur waved his hand and said breathlessly: "The one with red hair is."
He wanted to introduce the remaining children, but Cedric had already said with a smile:
"Dad, they are all my good friends in school. I told you, the Duel Club!"
Amos suddenly realized and patted his head: "Is that the best student club that only geniuses can join?"
Cedric was stunned and said awkwardly and helplessly:
"Dad, it's not what you said."
"Of course it is. Where is Zhang? He is the legendary successor of Dumbledore, the one who is almost as good as you?"
Well, since he mentioned himself, Zhang Xiao could only say hello:
"Hello, Mr. Amos."
Cedric's face was already red, and he was almost begging his father to stop talking.
"Okay, okay -" Amos Diggory patted his son on the back: "Our Ced is always so humble and behaves like a gentleman."
Harry, Ron and Malfoy could hardly hold their nerve anymore. They kept their faces straight and tried not to laugh out loud.
We are all good friends, so naturally we won't be angry because the father of a good friend brags about his child.
Mr. Weasley and Amos chatted for a while, wondering if anyone would come. After confirming that no one was coming, they finally called everyone to form a circle.
Zhang Xiao looked at the worn boots and sighed. He couldn't help but think of the door key from second grade. It was such a coin.
"Three..." Mr. Weasley whispered with one eye on his pocket watch.
Zhang Xiao stretched out a finger and put it on the worn boots.
I hate portkeys!
"Two...one..."
When Zhang Xiao's feet touched the ground again, he heard a voice saying:
"Five and seven, from Stoat Mountain."

1. Monthly ticket 2. Recommended ticket
There is a problem with finding the entry point, and the overlap with the original work is a bit high. Emmm, I will try my best to adjust it. I was thinking about the Goblet of Fire before, and the second half of the plot was designed for the World Cup.
Thank you for your support~!
