I was Hermione's puppy at Hogwarts

The organizers are very thoughtful and have opened a special column in the "Daily Quidditch" newspaper to answer all kinds of strange questions from all over the world.

This column is also used to publish various rules announced by the organizers of the World Cup, which indeed impose restrictions on "pets".

"Not obviously aggressive, non-toxic, and the size does not exceed the prescribed limit." Fred read out the restrictions on animals. "Congratulations, Lovell, you completely meet the requirements. You don't need to buy one." You can also watch the World Cup with your tickets.”

The envious look in Fred's eyes almost turned into reality: You can watch the game without tickets!

If it weren't for Animagus transformation being too difficult to learn, and he couldn't control the animal he transformed into, Fred might have had to learn Animagus ways to evade.

Lovell smiled and did not go any further on the topic.Although it doesn't need to buy a ticket, it still needs to get one because it wants to go to the Quidditch World Cup with Hermione.

Next, several people naturally turned their attention to how to obtain free tickets.

"The newspaper said that if you tear off this piece, fill in your information and send it back, you have a chance of winning." George saw the activities held by "Daily Quidditch".

They only need to fill out a questionnaire on the last page of the newspaper and send it back, and they may get World Cup tickets provided by the editorial department.

Although the probability of winning is extremely low, it is still a hope after all, and Fred and George are still ready to give it a try.But one thing is very tricky, that is, this newspaper was actually brought back by Angelina. If it is really filled in, it should also be filled in with Angelina's information.

"Hey, this is nothing." Angelina saw the concerns of the two people. The cheerful girl waved her hand and generously handed the newspaper to Fred and George, "I didn't expect to pass this lottery. I haven’t had much luck with tickets.”

Of course, this doesn't mean that Angelina doesn't want to "get" a ticket for free.

"We can guess the outcome. The newspaper said that if you correctly guess the outcome of seven consecutive games before the final, you can get a ticket. This is much more reliable than the illusory lottery."

This kind of event where you bet on the outcome and win tickets is also an event organized by the World Cup organizers and the newspaper editorial department. The rules of the event are very simple: you guess the outcome of the two teams, and if you guess correctly seven times, you will get a ticket for the World Cup final. , the number of wrong guesses will be reset to zero.

There are a total of sixteen teams participating in the finals. If you are lucky, you may win seven games in the round of sixteen to eight.Of course, in order to prevent people who take advantage of loopholes from appearing, one identity can only make one choice.For example, if you bet on team A to win for two teams AB, you cannot bet on team B to win at the same time.

Except for Lovell, everyone present had a deep understanding of Quidditch, so they quickly made their bets.

The first one or two wins are very easy to win. After all, if you win the first place in the qualifiers, you will get the lowest points in the budget round. This situation will hardly cause problems. The same goes for the second win, but the next victory or defeat will be the same. It's not that stable, because the strength gap between different groups is also different.

Since there is no strength rating for participating countries like the non-magical world, the magic world's group groups are really and randomly assigned, which results in some groups being the "death group", and some groups being bribed by the organizer just by looking at them. Square feeling.In this way, the persuasiveness of the first place in the group will not be so strong.

"I think the American team should be able to win, after all, they are the defending champions."

"How many times have the defending champions gone home early? And you are actually optimistic about Argentina? The last time they reached the final was in the early [-]th century, earlier than the last time the UK hosted the Quidditch World Cup!"

"Isn't anyone optimistic about the Scottish team..."

A very lively discussion broke out in a corner of the Gryffindor common room.Fred, George and Angelina are all people who know a lot about Quidditch, so it is extremely difficult for them to convince each other.

After a period of bickering, they selected their five favorite teams.After rational calculation, they feel that these five teams have the highest and most stable chance of winning.They know very well that if there is a mistake in one round, there is no chance of saving it - 8 goes into 4, 4 goes into 2, and there are only six games in total. Once they guess wrong in one round, there is no need to guess again, and they will guess all right. Only six wins.

Lovell had long been tired of listening to them. At first, it could copy Fred's answers, but later on, the three people's quarrel made it big-headed, so it simply started picking teams that it liked.

Finally, Fred glanced at the list that Lovell had drawn out with his claws and was startled: "Lovell, are you sure you want to select seven teams in one round?"

Lovell nodded: "I think it's okay. Look, these five teams are exactly the same as what you analyzed!"

"But you are actually optimistic about the Canadian team. This is..." Fred looked at the two additional teams on the list and frowned. "Their performance before was mediocre. On what basis did you select them?"

"Because it's pleasing to the eye." Lovell said confidently.

Fred was speechless for a while, but just as he was about to hand over the list, he somehow remembered Lovell's outrageous performance in Hogsmeade Village.

This is a very lucky little wolf cub!

He struggled and finally added two teams to his list.

George:? !

"It's just a gamble." Fred laughed, "If it succeeds, then there is no need to guess again."

George was also a little moved, but considering that eggs should not be put in one basket, he still retained his original choice. After all, this was the result of their serious discussion.

"What are you doing? Are you all gathered here? Don't you have any classes in the morning?" A somewhat rough voice rang. Lovell raised his head and saw a short but sturdy red-haired young man facing towards him. Come.

This young man has a broad face like a good gentleman, and his face is covered with dense freckles, which looks almost brown-black. His eyes are sparkling and very energetic.

Fred raised the sheet in his hand towards him and said loudly: "Charlie, we are predicting the outcome of the teams in the World Cup finals!"
