Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 371 Afternoon at Granger's House

"Dad, Mom! Hurry up! Don't keep others waiting!"

On a street in London, a girl with disheveled hair is waving to her parents, but passers-by don't realize that there is a little girl on the side of the road because she stands in the "blind spot" of their sight.

The girl was Hermione Granger, and she was standing in front of the Leaky Cauldron, greeting her parents.

Hermione, Cho Chang, and Emily made an appointment to meet at the Leaky Cauldron before heading to Hogsmeade together.

"Come on, don't worry." The Grangers hurried over, and they didn't see the dilapidated little bar until they got to Hermione's side.

"Oh, no matter how many times I think it's amazing, I've passed by here often, why didn't I find out that there's a bar here?" Mr. Granger shook his head and sighed.

"Okay, let's go quickly, the more amazing things are yet to come!" Hermione pushed her father into the Leaky Cauldron from behind, and the whole family was looking forward to today's itinerary.

As soon as the Grangers walked into the Leaky Cauldron, they became cautious. The intentional or unintentional stares of the wizards around them made them feel a lot of pressure. This feeling of sheep walking into the wolf's pile made them feel uncomfortable.
"Hermione! Here, here!"

But soon the Grangers saw an exotic black-haired girl waving at Hermione. This should be the friend Qiu Zhang that their daughter and they had mentioned.

The Granger family stepped forward, and the parents of both sides introduced themselves. When they learned that Qiu Zhang's father, Yide Zhang, was actually an "ordinary person", the Grangers felt a lot less embarrassed, and soon got along with them. Mr. Zhang chatted together.

"Hahaha, I only found out that Qiu's mother is actually a witch after I got married. That really opened the door to a new world! Hahaha~" Zhang Qiu's father, Zhang Yide, is from Xiangjiang. The British, who came with the tide, opened a Chinese restaurant in London and is a very talkative person.

"Isn't it? When Hermione received the admission letter, we were also very scared." The Grangers are both dentists, and their personalities are very easy-going. The communication between the two families is very harmonious.

"Hermione! Cho! Sorry, I'm late." After a while, Emily came out from the direction of the Leaky Cauldron.

"Emily, why did you come here by yourself? What about your family?"

"Oh, they are still in Diagon Alley. There are really too many people there. The Ministry of Magic is rushing to renovate the basement of the Lake Experience Store. The Ministry of Magic's response this time is really bad enough. Let's not talk about that Alright, let's hurry over there too."

When the group passed through the bar in Diagon Alley, they found that the wall that was supposed to be closed was now open, and they saw the crowds in Diagon Alley at a glance.

"My God, are there so many people here, are they all wizards?" Mr. Granger shook his head and sighed, "I used to think that the number of wizards was very small."

"I heard that nearly [-] tickets for the Goblin Cup have been sold. Wizards from all over the world have come here. It's understandable that it's so lively." Hermione smacked her tongue when she saw the crowds in Diagon Alley. endlessly.

"Actually, I've always been curious. Is there such a big space behind this bar? It's really hard to tell from the outside." Mr. Zhang Yide looked at Diagon Alley here, and then at the bar behind him, his tone also very It's an exclamation.

"This is a kind of magic of splicing spaces. In fact, Diagon Alley is not behind the Leaky Cauldron, it's just an entrance," Zhang Qiu's mother explained to her husband.

"I see!" The three Muggles nodded repeatedly, expressing that they understood.

Later, they met Emily's family in the Lake Experience Store. The Montmorency family is an ancient French family. His family's love potion is very famous. Emily's parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents were all there. They There is also a big family here.

The Montmorency family is not an old-fashioned pure-blood family, so they had a pleasant exchange with the two families. After greeting each other, they prepared to leave for Hogsmeade Village.

"Emily, walk with your friends and don't get separated." Emily's grandfather, Leo, is a warm and cheerful old man. He pointed to the back of the Lake experience store and said: "The Ministry of Magic just opened the basement. The space is spliced, and now we don't have to go through the Floo network."

"The Ministry of Magic's response this time was really bad, and they were in a hurry. Fortunately, the venue was chosen in Hogsmeade Village, where there are no people. Otherwise, there will be big troubles."

"I always feel that it's not appropriate, and the situation is too messy. What was the Ministry of Magic doing before?"

The Muggle trio couldn't get involved in the topic of the Montmorency family, but Zhang Qiu's mother who worked in the Ministry of Magic knew something inside.

"I have heard some news, oh, I work in the Department of International Magical Cooperation, I heard that the International Department and the Sports Department have been wrangling over this matter before, our director—Mr. It seems that I have been dealing with it coldly, but I am just a small employee, and I can't see clearly the affairs of those big people, haha."

A large group of people chatted and laughed and lined up to enter the basement. During the period, staff members scanned them with strange magic instruments, and all of them passed the inspection smoothly.

The basement was obviously built temporarily, and it was just a long, straight passage with nothing. They walked straight through, downhill—straight—uphill, and when they came out, they had already arrived at the Lake Experience Store branch in Hogsmeade Village.

When the Grangers walked out of the shop, they realized that they had gone to another place unknowingly.

"Oh! My God! Are we not in London anymore? Where are we?" Mr. Granger looked at the lively little village in front of him in amazement, and he wasn't even sure whether he was still in England or not.

"This is the village of Hogsmeade next to our school!" Hermione took her father's hand and pointed to the castle in the distance, "Look! The castle over there is Hogwarts! My school!"

"Is that the arena over there? There are so many people!" Zhang Qiu cried out in surprise, pointing in the opposite direction from the school.

There is a huge gymnasium over there, which is a giant golden round platform turned upside down. It is large up and down, standing there completely against the laws of physics. Many wizards fly around it in the air on broomsticks.

This wizarding village was bustling like never before. Along the way, they met many wizards of all shapes and sizes, dressed in weird clothes, speaking different languages, and having different skin colors, from all over the world.

Surrounding the huge gymnasium, there are large and small tents scattered around, like a wild camp organized by the collective, but the number of participants is a bit too much...

Order is maintained by staff wearing bold gold hats, yelling something in various languages.

"Wizards of England come this way! Wizards of England come this way!"

"Wizards from England check tickets from the tent behind me! There are restaurants and guest rooms for rest!"

Hermione noticed a staff member wearing a golden hat standing in front of a golden tent and shouting loudly. Hermione also noticed that many golden tents with the same style were scattered in different positions. These should be set up by the organizer of the competition [Ticket Office] is here.

"Are you going to enter the venue early?" Emily's grandfather Leo asked politely, "The opening ceremony of the Monster Cup is at seven o'clock in the evening, and we still have one afternoon, we plan to set up another tent outside, you guys Do you want to be together?"

The few families did not refuse after discussing, and decided to make do with the Montmorency family for an afternoon. When they were planning to find a place where no one was around to set up a tent, they noticed a very abrupt front of a shop built outside the village. Full of wizards.

There was a huge mirrored billboard hanging over the lintel of the shop, so that people could see at a glance what they were selling——

【Epoch-making product - the first sale of the magic scroll】
