Golden glitter

In the summer of 1994, following ten years of unjust imprisonment, the wizarding world made persistent efforts, and the Quidditch World Cup officially began.Even if this event is held only once every four years, it has already been scheduled to 422 sessions.This history is longer than the oldest prestigious school, Hogwarts.

As one of the few entertainments in the wizarding world, the only group activity, wizards all over the world became active, chasing after each game and running around.In such a general environment, the Malfoys, who are one of the focus of British wizards, are not at home, so there is nothing to pay attention to.

Before the holiday, Lucius asked Draco and Minato to finish their homework as soon as possible, and there were other arrangements for this summer vacation.

As a veteran Quidditch fan, Draco immediately flew to the World Cup. Xiaolong, who had been dreaming of Quidditch for three months, was at full strength, and he did what was originally impossible——in the last time He finished all his homework before the train home.This incident also made Lucius and Severus see his potential, and the excessive amount of tasks that came soon after made Draco regret it.

Minato is much calmer. It's not that he has never been to the World Cup. Although it is a super-large event that almost occupies the entire summer vacation, even if one game is not finished, he will watch the whole process, and he will not have time to complete the little homework. (What? My lord, if those students who are worried about homework, such as Ron Weasley, hear this, he will come to you for a theory. ——by the author) In addition to completing the thesis, Minato will do more Energy is spent on gathering intelligence on the current European Muggle community.In his previous life, he was born as an oriental ninja. In this life, he grew up in a traditional wizard family. Minato knew nothing about the outside world.Minato was stunned by the information brought back by the ninja cats, and he understood the necessity of this trip.The development of Muggles is simply unbelievable. The current self, who cannot use magic outside of school, is absolutely unable to do a single step in the Muggle world alone.

To be cautious, Lucius took his family to follow the schedule and watch the whole process.But these dazzling figures can only be seen at the start of the match, and no one knows where they went during the match.Not many people pay attention to this, and people explain their behavior themselves: nobles always like to show their specialness.

So, where have they been during this time?

No ostentatious magic tents and Muggle banishing spells, no direct portkeys to Malfoy Manor or whatever, no apparitions and entourages.The places where they stayed were: star-rated hotels—all kinds of forged documents, and the rest were checked in in the normal way; private villas—the Malfoy family had no shortage of money, so they could buy as many as they wanted; apartment suites—buy them as a spare; motor vehicles , Subway, taxi, plane, ship instead of transportation - I have to say that Muggles' way of travel is indeed more comfortable than that of wizards, although it is more time-consuming, if there are not too many people on the bus, they will probably try it.

From this, we can see the benefits of being multilingual. Once you do something wrong or don’t understand something, you can pretend to be a foreigner and get away with it. What about the "Wizard Secrecy Act" and "Muggle Protection Act" in the Ministry of Magic?

Muggle society, Muggle ways, Muggle habits, yes, they are not in the wizarding world.If those wizards who talked about protecting the weak Muggles all day long and shouting to defeat the evil Slytherin nobles saw this, they would be so scared that they couldn't take care of themselves for half a year.

Most of the ancient families came from that dark age. In the Middle Ages, Muggles forced wizards to hide.These surviving descendants have never forgotten the pain of the past. They have watched their enemies, their development, their progress, and their progress for generations, and adjusted themselves, waiting for opportunities.World War II was promoted by wizards, the plague that spread throughout Europe was affected by wizards, and the power of theocracy declined... These are just revenge by wizards.

Lucius knew this, he had seen Muggle wars, he knew about Muggle world wars.Now, he was going to guide the next generation of Malfoys to real Muggles, like his father.Before he was sure how long he could shelter these two children, he would teach them survival skills as much as possible.

The finals of this year's Quidditch World Cup will be held in the UK. Not only the Department of Sports and Sports, but the entire British Ministry of Magic is in motion - busy building stands for the competition.

Because of what happened at Hogwarts, Lucius resigned from his position at the Ministry of Magic at the beginning of the year, but now he feels relaxed and can be with his family.That vain fellow of Fudge, if Lucius was still the deputy minister, he must be bored to death by him.

The arena looked very satisfying, not to mention that all the staff of the Ministry of Magic were exhausted to death. Since they were able to get into the eyes of the Malfoy patriarch, the others could only admire it.

There were so many people watching the game that the organizers had to arrange to arrive in batches, and ordinary spectators had to arrive several days in advance, but this did not dampen people's enthusiasm.Pieces of camps are full of tents, all kinds of weird-shaped tents are decorated with all kinds of unreasonable disguises, and the wizards who come and go, trying to disguise themselves as Muggles, dress themselves up as all kinds of muggles. The shape of the melon laughing-maybe the Confusion Charm made the Muggle administrator who runs the camp think that this is a big laughing contest, so it didn't cause an uproar?

This is what Minato and the others saw when they arrived here.Although there was no change in his face, he put on a deadpan face or a smirk, and he was probably gritting his teeth in his heart: what a disgrace to wizards/British wizards—only the British Ministry of Magic has the "Secrecy Act", Disguise as a Muggle is required, and wizards in other places wear whatever they like.It can be predicted that they are not the only British wizards who have such thoughts.

The so-called eternally gorgeous Malfoys naturally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake, not to mention that they had just lived in the pure Muggle world for several months.The wizards who passed by only felt that this family was very harmonious, except for those former members of the Order of the Phoenix, they all showed uncomfortable expressions with toothaches on their faces.Until they entered their tent—it was a huge and gorgeous palace-like tent, with a lot of striped silk, and a few live peacocks were tied in front of the door. The white peacocks held their heads high and proud like their owners. He was pacing back and forth—this was a strange expression of "that's right".

The grand finals don't start until early evening, and those who arrive early have a full day to vent their enthusiasm.Vendors come and go, shuttling among the various camps, selling all kinds of World Cup items.Among them, the Bulgarian and Irish teams, the champion and runner-up of this tournament, sold the best souvenirs.

A place that is good at magic does not necessarily have to be good at playing football. In the center of the magic world, none of the top three players, England, Germany, and France, made it to the quarter-finals.The British team didn't even qualify for the regional competition, and the British wizards themselves felt ashamed.

In the gap between the tents, children are rampaging on toy broomsticks.At this time, no adults blamed them, and laughter filled every corner of the camp.

And the best Quidditch players are not here to join forces. Graduated or not graduated, former/current/prospective members of the academy team gathered in the open space between the camps, imitating the movements of world-class players and rehearsing tactics.The seniors pass on their experience of dealing with their deadly rivals, and the younger ones put forward their fresh ideas. If it is feasible, everyone will improve it together, and then practice, hoping to win the competition after school starts.After graduation, it is too difficult to get together and play Quidditch in a relaxed way. Most of them have never played Quidditch since graduation due to their inherent responsibilities.

Draco dragged the water gate to the place agreed by the Slytherins. He was the current Seeker of the Slytherin team, and his presence was a must.Almost everyone who loves Quidditch is there, whether they can play themselves or not.

The current captain Marcus Flint invited the former captain Linda Hall. Watergate heard them say that the current tactics of the Slytherin team have been handed down. team.

"Slytherin rarely has players as talented as Gryffindor's Potter and Charlie Weasley. Our situation is more similar to the current Irish team, so we have to play tactics, pay attention to and need to cooperate." Graduated Two years later, Hall with a broader vision said so.

"Speaking of which, who came up with this tactic?" The youngest daughter of the Greengrass family was even more curious about this, such an outstanding person, if possible, she might plan to marry this male god.

"It's a pity, little sister Astoria, you have no hope for that person, why don't you consider me." Blaise leaned over casually, but Astoria didn't take it seriously.The Black Prince, who is also the chief playboy in Slytherin, also runs the most extensive and comprehensive gossip network in the wizarding world, so it is not surprising that he knows something.He turned his head to Draco and Watergate: "The person you two are most familiar with is Mr. Malfoy."

"Ah, why didn't I know." Although the expressions and actions were exaggerated, Draco was really surprised, it was about Malfoy and Quidditch.

"Brace, where did you know these things?" Minato was much calmer. When Master Zabini looked over, he guessed that it had something to do with his family, and he was more concerned about the facts than the facts themselves.

"Chirp, chirp." Blaise wagged his fingers and put on a look of "please, please, I'll tell you", "Of course I have my sources of information."

Minato looked at him, "Ah, forget it. It's not polite to probe other people's privacy."

Blaise collapsed the deliberately showy face, "Ah, Minato, you kid can't satisfy my vanity!" (Unfortunately, I can't.——by Minato) Return to normal expression, Bray Stein sat upright, "My mother told me that she and Mr. Malfoy were in the same period. In fact, it's no secret. At that time, the Slytherin team had no talent and no formation. It was okay to be weak, and the rampage was always defeated by Gryffin. Many, Mr. Malfoy made up his mind to change this situation after watching the game in the first grade. He joined the academy team in the second grade. According to the characteristics of Slytherin, he formulated this man-marking tactic, analyzed the main players of the opponent, and personally directed the training. .That year, Slytherin beat Gryffindor."

"But then Mr. Malfoy graduated, and Gryffindor just happened to have a James Potter. Just...you know." Hall continued. As the captain, team history is a compulsory course.

The people in the circle were a little sluggish, Draco thought for a while, and suddenly pushed the water door out, "Captain Flint, and Senior Hall, please teach my brother to let him rise to the top. Diqi's enthusiasm."

Blaise also immediately regained his spirits, "That's right, as long as this kid has half of Draco's enthusiasm, Potter and Charlie Weasley can't catch up even if they are riding ten fireballs!"

"Yup!"

"Yes."

…Those who were familiar with the Malfoy brothers all responded one after another, and those who were not familiar with them also confused.

In this way, Minato was bought by a group of acquaintances.The buyer, Captain Marcus Flint, inspected the goods and said: very satisfied.And promise to make the best use of everything.
