Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 262: Choosing to stay now...is it still too late?

As the last game of the 1994 British Quidditch World Cup, this final is undoubtedly a carnival feast for all Quidditch fans.

During the previous group stage, two less popular teams collided, and the arena that could accommodate 100,000 people was only filled with less than half of the people.

But now, there are more than 150,000 people staying in the camp!

In addition to the 100,000 wizards who bought tickets for the finals, there were many wizards who bought tickets for other games and refused to go home. Instead, they waited until the finals.

Some of them want to stay at the scene so that they can know the results of the game as soon as possible;

Some people find ways to sneak into the stadium a few days in advance, carry sleeping bags under chairs for several nights, and then watch the game for free;

What's more... a group of wizards from Siberia are discussing forming a team to rob the British Muggle plane, fly directly to the competition venue, and watch the competition with telescopes!

Anyway, twenty of them can beat up two hundred British wizards, and they can rob British Muggle planes easily!

Harley had to marvel at the rich imagination of these wizards, and by the way, admire Ludo's energy.

In addition to getting all four sets of tickets to the top box for Sirius, he also gave the Weasley family eight tickets to the final in the top box!

On the morning of the finals, Mr. Weasley brought his seven children to the camp, and the Weasley twins sneaked outside the tent where Harry was after setting up camp.

When the two brothers knocked on the door, Harry was discussing potions with Fleur and Hermione on the large table in the dining room, which was covered with scratch paper and notebooks.

And Gabrielle didn't understand potions yet, so she lay on the sofa nearby and masturbated Crookshanks.

Crookshanks wasn't that fond of little girls, after all, Gabrielle always tried to tie Crookshanks' hair into pigtails.

But his master didn't say anything, and Crookshanks was helpless.

Hedwig lay lazily in the cage, taunting Crookshanks wantonly.

When he was being masturbated a few days ago, Crookshanks was there gloating about his misfortune.

Now the tide has turned and it's Crookshanks' turn to suffer!

Apart from Harley and the other three, there was no one else in the tent.

Sirius didn't like potions that much, so he slipped out of the tent early and went to find his golf buddies, preparing to have two drinks (buckets).

After hearing a knock on the door, Harley raised her voice and asked, "Who?"

"To Her Majesty the Lion Queen of Gryffindor, of course it is us outside the door, your loyal subjects, Fred and George!" Fred shouted.

But George immediately expressed his objection: "This is wrong. Her identity is obviously our most beloved major shareholder!"

"What do you mean?" Fred asked, "Is it wrong to say Gryffindor's Lion Queen?"

"of course not……"

Before George finished speaking, the door of the room in front of him was opened.

"You two can really cause trouble anywhere!" Harley said angrily, "Come in quickly!"

As soon as he entered the tent, Fred exclaimed: "Wow! From the outside, we felt that this tent was super luxurious!"

"I didn't expect it to be so beautifully decorated inside!" George continued with a smile, "The Black family is really rich."

Harley rolled her eyes: "Didn't you say in the letter that you wanted to show me the new product live?"

"Why, are you here to perform live performances since you came here?"

"It's not a live show," Fred shook his head.

"We have something else to do right now. We just came here to give you a sample of our newly developed product."

As he spoke, Fred mysteriously took out a small pocket from his robe, and George also took out an identical pocket from the inside of his robe.

"It took us a lot of effort to successfully bring these good things." George said proudly,

"You probably don't know that we both only passed three of the ordinary wizard level exams."

"Mom is angry," Fred added. "Looking at her expression, it looks like she wants to eat us."

"In addition, Percy has received a total of twelve certificates for the Ultimate Wizarding Level Examination, and he successfully joined the Ministry of Magic as an intern this year."

"That's why mom doesn't like to see us very much now, and always suspects that we have some dirty secrets that affect our studies."

"She wants to search our room every day, even under Ron's bed!"

"But it doesn't matter," George quickly picked up Fred's words like a barrage of words.

"Our development of magic items is very smooth, and we don't need those worthless certificates at all!"

"And with our skills, how could she discover the evidence?"

The Weasley twins looked at each other and laughed loudly in unison.

Harley took the bag handed over by the two people and asked:

"Then if you need to use more complex magic knowledge when developing items, how should you deal with it?"

Fred held out three fingers: "Dear Her Majesty the Lion Queen, you underestimate us too much."

"I passed Potions, Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts," George said proudly.

"And Fred passed Transfiguration, Herbology and Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

"And in these subjects that we passed, we both got O's!" Fred shook his finger.

"This means that we are all qualified to take improvement courses. No matter what problems we encounter in the future, at least one person will have knowledge in the relevant field!"

"Okay, as long as you are happy." Harley spread her hands, "I am just an investor and will not interfere with you."

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while? Have some tea by the way?"

Fred and George looked at each other, shook their heads sharply, and said in unison:

"No, we are about to discuss an important business deal with Mr. Ludo Bagman!"

"Oh~?" Harley said in a slightly longer tone, "If I'm not wrong...it's not gambling, right?"

"We both saved some pocket money, and now we're trying to see if we can double it," Fred explained.

"Don't worry," George also patted his chest and promised, "I will monitor Fred and not let him spend money randomly!"

"I'm obviously spying on you, George! How dare you confuse right and wrong!" Fred pretended to be furious and reached out to cover George's mouth, and the two brothers started to quarrel again.

Seeing that the Weasley twins did not deny it, Harry raised his eyebrows slightly:

"I'm not concerned about funding. After all, this is to fund your dream. You two should know that."

"I just want to remind you that even if you win the bet, Ludo probably won't have the funds to repay his debts."

"He lost a lot of money in the group stage and knockout stage some time ago, and now he is forced to borrow money from the goblins."

"If you go looking for him, you are destined to lose everything."

Seeing the surprised looks in the Weasley twins' eyes, Harry struck while the iron was hot and added a few more words:

"If I were you, I would choose to go find the goblin."

"After all, Gringotts has signed a contract with the Ministry of Magic, and the goblins dare not break the contract casually."

After thinking for a moment, the Weasley twins swallowed hard, feeling a little scared.

If what Harley said was correct, then they would almost spend all the pocket money they had saved for many years!

The two of them thanked Harry and were about to leave for Gringotts when they suddenly heard footsteps in the kitchen.

Fleur poked her head out of the restaurant: "Harry, are there any guests?"

Fred and George were about to leave when they suddenly stopped and couldn't close their eyes.

"Fred, I think we made a mistake in not staying for a cup of tea." George said dryly.

"I agree with that, George," Fred responded in his brother's dry voice.

"I just don't know if it's too late to regret it now."

"What do you think?" Harley said with a smile.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Fleur Delacour, a seventh-year student at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France."

The twin brothers suddenly looked extremely serious, and they bowed together in a tacit understanding:

"Good morning, beautiful lady! Please allow us to introduce ourselves, I am Fred/George Weasley."

…………

In the end, the Weasley twins didn't stay.

After all, both of them have girls they have a crush on, and for them, making money is their top priority.

Harley didn't do much to persuade them to stay, and after introducing their identities to Fleur, they sent them out.

Then, Harley stuffed two bags of magic items into her pockets.

After all, this is a sample given to Harley, the major shareholder, by the Weasley twins, and it must contain the manufacturing methods of these magical items.

Harley still abides by the contract very much and will not take the initiative to expose this to Fleur.

Of course, Fleur didn't take the initiative to ask.

Her interest was entirely focused on the study of Polyjuice Potion.

After all, Mr. Delacour often received letters from Harley, which highlighted Harley's outstanding achievements in the field of improving Polyjuice Potion.

So Fleur spent several days discussing relevant knowledge with Harry, and Hermione also joined the academic discussion with interest.

After finishing today's academic discussion, Furong put away all the draft papers and said with some regret:

"Today is probably the last day for us to discuss these issues, and the finals will be in the evening."

"It doesn't matter, you are coming to Hogwarts this semester." Harry helped Fleur organize the items on the table.

"We will discuss it then."

"And there are several very cleverly designed secret rooms in Hogwarts where we can practice potions."

"And I also have the channels and funds to get those precious potion materials."

"Sounds great!" Furong's eyes were full of longing,

"In Beauxbatons, except for Potions class, we have no chance to brew potions at all."

"Although my father also works in the field related to potions, he will never allow me to conduct experiments casually."

"Then I'll let you practice enough this time," Harley waved her hand grandly, "I'll definitely take care of the potion materials!"

…………

When night fell, a deep and deep sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded in the camp.

Thousands of colorful lanterns lit up in the trees, emitting various colors of light and illuminating the entire camp.

As a die-hard Irish fan, Sirius changed into a robe with the Irish team emblem printed on it, and specially pinned the Irish team emblem on his chest.

After completing all this, he led Harry and Hermione to this scene.

Professor McGonagall went to find a few other die-hard granny-level fans. She probably wouldn't go to the box until the game was about to start.

At the entrance, the witch from the Ministry of Magic who was responsible for checking tickets skillfully waved her hand: "Sirius! First-class ticket! Just go up, you know the way!"

Sirius waved with a smile and took the lead on the purple-red carpet.

The box was empty except for a house elf sitting in the corner.

The house elf was wearing a tea towel to wipe the tea set, his face was buried in his hands, and his big bat-like ears were trembling.

Sirius didn't pay attention to the unfamiliar house elf. He found a seat in the second row and sat down directly.

Harry took one more look at the house elf, and when he turned back, a smile quietly appeared on his lips.

She felt two very different kinds of magic in the chair that looked like it contained only a house elf.

One of them came from the house elf, and the other belonged to the wizard.

And if I felt it right, the magic power belonging to the wizard was not very active, but seemed very decadent and lacked energy.

If I guessed correctly, there was probably Barty Crouch Jr., who was controlled by Barty Crouch Sr. using the Imperius Curse, but Barty Crouch Jr. had used the Disguise Curse or the Invisibility Cloak.

I don’t know why Old Barty was so bold and dared to quietly arrange for his Death Eater son to watch a game in front of so many senior officials.

But this was out of Harley's consideration.

"Tonight, Senior Riddle is going to ask Peter Pettigrew to release a Dark Mark here to warn those original Death Eaters who have forgotten themselves in the corner."

Harry closed his eyes and recalled Voldemort's plan.

"They also planned to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into Crouch's camp to see if they could rescue Barty Crouch Jr."

"That's right... a very wise choice... Who knows what a surname like Crouch, one of the twenty-eight pure-blooded families, has, and what kind of protective magic there is in the old house."

Thinking of this, the luster of the glove on Harley's left hand flashed, and "Distortion" quietly activated.

The green light penetrated into the chair bit by bit, spread throughout the room, and finally merged into the body of the young man wearing the invisibility cloak.

After finishing all this, Harry took his hand back and chatted with Hermione about today's possible score.
