Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 261 In this battle, the Irish team has ten wins!

Although Harry wanted to continue drinking pumpkin juice and eating melon, enjoying the show.

But she was so kind, and finally decided to save Hermione:

"Hermione, Fleur is talking about the Triwizard Tournament. The Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts next semester."

"Triwizard Tournament?!" Hermione was stunned for a moment, then blurted out shocked words,

"The competition that was founded more than seven hundred years ago and was jointly organized by three European magic schools: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang?"

"But wasn't this game discontinued at the end of the 18th century because it was too dangerous?"

"I remember that in 1792, the competition was too dangerous and the warriors were required to catch a chicken-headed snake. As a result, the chicken-headed snake went on a rampage and even killed a principal."

"Since then, the competition has been permanently suspended."

"You're right, Hermione. But now three magic schools have decided to hold the competition again."

Harley said softly, "As for why it needs to be held again, I'm not sure."

"What is different from the past is that from this time on, the Ministry of Magic of the country where the school responsible for hosting the competition will also participate."

"The more than 100 competitions in the past have basically nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic. They only need to report to the local Ministry of Magic when foreign wizards enter the territory and transport dangerous magical creatures used in the competition."

"But starting from this competition, the International Magical Cooperation Department and the Magical Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic of each country will participate in the entire process, and important officials from the department will also be sent as referees."

These are the contents of Bertha's memory, but there are only so many contents.

At the beginning of April Bertha was given a long leave, and was not required to return until the end of September.

Combined with the information revealed during the chat between Ludo and Sirius, Harley had every reason to suspect that it was because she was too much in the way, and others were afraid that she would be a disservice and increase the workload.

"Harry, what you said is basically correct, but there is a key information error." Fleur shook her finger.

"The information you mentioned is already before mid-April."

"Actually, according to Ms. Maxim, this Triwizard Tournament will be fully upgraded."

"Comprehensive upgrade?" Hermione asked involuntarily.

"That's right, a comprehensive upgrade." Furong nodded,

"Because of Harley's excellent performance in the last 'Magic School Potions Championship', many magic schools have attracted attention."

"So in this competition, eleven magic schools around the world may participate."

"Of course, the specific list is still being determined. I only know that one school is definitely not participating in this competition."

"A very strange case occurred at Wagadu Magic School a year ago. The symptoms were similar to the Black Death. The patient had died, but there was no sign of transmission."

"So they decided to close the school for ten years and not participate in international activities co-organized by other magic schools during these ten years to avoid more problems in the school."

Harley thought of the disgusting guy who took the initiative to provoke her, and couldn't help but nodded.

It would be nice if they didn't come, because they would save you the trouble of trying to take advantage of certain levels and proactively provoking yourself, causing you to become murderous again.

Harley felt that she was so kind, but she still didn't want to commit random crimes.

But Harry really didn't expect that so many magic schools would be attracted to participate in the Triwizard Tournament because of his outstanding performance last time.

Voldemort's original plan was to use the Triwizard Tournament to find a way to sweep him away from Hogwarts and complete his resurrection plan.

But this inexplicably increased number of schools... the possibility of problems with Voldemort's plan was much greater.

Harley shook her head slightly. Let Senior Riddle worry about these things. Who told him that this was his resurrection plan?

And coming to more schools and attracting more people's attention is a good thing for Harley.

After learning that there is a possibility of promotion in the future, although I don't know where to look for those high-level extraordinary characteristics and the most important uniqueness, it is always right to establish an anchor first.

The Ministry of Magic is the prototype of the church for him, and he only needs to continue according to the plan to control it.

Of course, in this process, Harley also needs to get rid of the pure-blood family wizard who is not friendly to Muggles and Muggle-born wizards, the main anchor of her future.

But with the church, it is impossible without believers.

After experiencing a series of factors such as the First Wizarding War, the British wizarding world's already small population experienced a massive exodus.

Therefore, it is particularly important to attract anchors from other countries.

"All in all, we Beauxbatons will definitely participate in this Triwizard Tournament." Fleur concluded,

"It is also for this reason that Ms. Maxim decided to bring a group of students who are most likely to participate in the competition to watch the British Quidditch World Cup and familiarize themselves with the British environment in advance."

"It is said that in a certain competition, several of our contestants were not used to Hogwarts... I mean British food, so their condition was greatly affected."

After saying that, Fleur smiled apologetically, looking a little embarrassed.

"It's understandable, I also think British food is rubbish." Harley agreed actively,

"The top ten restaurants in the Muggle world are all open in the UK, but they basically serve French cuisine!"

…………

After breakfast, Harry left a sandwich on the table for Sirius, kept fresh with thin ice, and he and Hermione led the Delacour sisters to visit the camp.

Gabrielle seemed to rarely go out to play, so she was very excited when she saw this kind of environment and ran around.

But every time she tried to run out of sight, Fleur would carry her right back.

This made the little girl so angry that she bared her teeth and made faces at her sister. In the end, she hugged Harley's arm tightly, determined not to return to her sister.

Of course, within five minutes, Gabrielle couldn't rest anymore and started running around, and then repeated the previous scene.

When Gabrielle was brought back by Fleur again, she immediately hugged Harry pitifully:

"Sister Harley, please consider becoming my sister!"

"Dad also admires you very much and often praises your talent in potions at home."

"The uncles and aunts who were here last time also said that you are a genius, and everyone likes you very much."

"And you are so gentle, not as fierce as my sister. Last time I just looked through my sister's diary and saw that she wrote about you in it..."

"Gabriel!" Fleur's aura instantly became extremely powerful, "Don't cause trouble to your sister Harley!"

"Sister Harley, look!" the little witch hid tightly behind Harley, not daring to let go.

"Sister lost her temper again! It's so scary!"

Harry smiled helplessly and stroked Gabrielle's silver hair, which was exactly the same as Fleur's:

"Don't be so naughty and keep provoking your sister. Wouldn't your sister be so angry?"

Gabrielle snorted softly, made a face at Fleur, but stopped running around.

But this time, she held Harry's hand tightly and was determined not to let go.

The four beautiful witches move together in the camp, creating a beautiful scenery wherever they go.

However, the fans either celebrated their home team’s entry into the knockout rounds last night, so they drank very late.

Or they are mourning their home team's failure to advance to the knockout rounds and drinking to soothe their sorrows until very late.

Therefore, there were only a few wizards who got up early, and no one came to watch. Only a few stalls rented by fixed stores had clerks coming to work.

Harley bought four copies of the telescope at the fixed stall belonging to Zuko's Joke Shop in Hogsmeade, and gave Gabrielle several commemorative items, such as the England team's... Nine Great Completion commemorative coins.

I don’t know who was so ruthless. The England team was eliminated on the front foot, and even the top nine commemorative coins were produced on the back foot!

It's simply...amazing!

Harley bought eight copies in one go, and each person got two copies - one for collection and the other for playing.

Although she is not a fan, she is a fun person in a sense.

"It's a pity that the French team didn't even advance to the group stage." Fleur looked at the commemorative coin in her hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"No way, the French team is too romantic. Some players even went on a date with their girlfriends the day before the game."

Halle was more or less merciful and even said a few nice words for the French team, but did not directly breastfeed.

Instead, it was Fleur, a Frenchman, who started to milk her way directly: "No need to give them a reason! They are just the food! The food is the food that stings the feet!"

…………

After the four of them walked around for a whole morning, Fleur also invited Harry and Hermione to have lunch at Beauxbatons' residence.

Considering that Sirius had Kreacher to take care of him and did not need to go back to make lunch, Harry readily agreed.

Beauxbatons directly regarded their carriage as their usual residence. After all, it had been renovated by Nico himself, and it was very sturdy inside. It could be said that it was only slightly inferior to Old Man Newt's box.

It was noon, and several Beauxbatons seventh-grade students returned to the station one after another.

After seeing Harley, they all just said hello lukewarmly.

After all, according to Ms. Maxim's hint, Harley is likely to be the representative of Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament and their strong enemy.

So naturally they can't have a good face.

However, Ms. Maxim treated Harley very warmly and even let Harley sit next to her.

It has to be said that the French bouillabaisse carefully cooked by the house elves and Beauxbatons' specialty meat pie are both very delicious, at least much more delicious than England's traditional fried fish and French fries that have not changed for thousands of years.

During lunch, Ms. Maxim asked loudly: "Harry, do you know there is a big competition this semester?"

"I know, Ms. Maxim." Harley nodded, "This is the Triwizard Tournament that will be held at Hogwarts."

"We will go to Hogwarts then." Ms. Maxim's voice echoed in the room,

"Then it will be your turn to be our tour guide, take us around!"

"At your service, Madame Maxime."

…………

The knockout rounds went quickly, and to everyone's surprise, the Irish team, which did not look stable, broke through the quarterfinals and reached the semifinals, tying the best result in history.

Then they defeated Peru strongly and met Bulgaria in the final.

Now the British wizards were resurrected, especially the fans of the England team, who began to crazily claim credit.

According to them, the England team had a run-in with Bulgaria in the group stage and used their "hidden tactics."

If the Irish team can win the championship this time, England will have one-third of the credit!

As the finals approached, newspapers began to frantically discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams.

Considering that this is the home stadium of England, the first-hand newspapers that fans can get are naturally biased towards the Irish team.

The headlines on the front page every day are basically "Six in Krum?" It’s obviously six guarantees and one guarantee! ", "The world's best seeker? Drag your teammates down first! ", "After the tide recedes, who is swimming naked! 》

Obviously, the newspapers in England are well aware of the importance of disturbing the mentality, and they are specifically focusing on Krum, the most cunning player in the Bulgarian team.

Garder Guo, an expert in the field of Quidditch, even proposed that in this battle, the Irish team will win ten times and the Bulgarian team will lose ten times!

Of course, the Bulgarian team's Seeker Krum, as a new star player, caught the Golden Snitch through his many operations, turned the tide and helped the Bulgarian team reverse the situation.

And this series of efforts has also accumulated a large number of fans for him.

These fans began to praise Krum crazily - how can we lose when my brother, the chosen one, is here!

The Bulgarian Ministry of Magic also cooperated very much by magically transporting freshly baked newspapers every day to competition venues in the UK and selling them at low prices.

Newspapers are also quarreling with the British "Daily Prophet" and other newspapers every day, crazily criticizing the players of the Irish team.

Especially Krum, he was directly blown to the sky by them.

But every time this time comes, someone will ask -

Our Irish team has a per capita champion player, whether it is the domestic league, European League or World Cup, there are at least two players who have won the championship.

What kind of champion are you Krum? Champion of the Void? A champion without a crown?

Amidst the atmosphere of gunpowder, the time finally came to August 8, the final of the 22nd British Quidditch World Cup.

(Thanks to "Nine-tailed Yanhu" and "Yangxiaz" for the rewards!)

(ps. Woohoo, another bug was discovered.)

(It’s still the Goblet of Fire, ‘Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes’. According to Charlie in this chapter, the Welsh team and the Scottish team have at least entered the group stage, and the author wrote that both teams have qualified in the qualifiers. Didn’t make it.)

(Forget it, it can’t be fixed. If we don’t modify it, Wales will be crushed by Uganda in the qualifiers, and the Scotland team will also be defeated by Luxembourg in the knockout rounds.)
