The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v4 Chapter 6: Let's go, World Cup! (2 in 1)

Harry's letter was not much longer than Ron's. First, he thanked Tom for the second batch of supplies - Tom sent him a small cake and a simple magic item on Harry's birthday. The function of this magic prop is very simple, that is, to keep fresh. It was originally used by potion masters to hold potions, so it would be nice to hand it over to Harry for cakes.

This prop can be regarded as helping Harry. He had received several cakes for his birthday, obviously he couldn't eat them all, and the underfloor was obviously not a good place to store cakes, so Tom's "freezer" came in just in time.

After thanking Tom, Harry also talked about his recent life, and finally changed the subject, and then began to tell Tom about his scars. Tom saw that he was full of slots: he is indeed an Englishman, always at the front Add a lot of useless pleasantries, and hide the most important things for the last.

Harry, this is not too much, some British white-collar workers will even stuff a lot of nonsense at the beginning and end of the letter, things that can be clearly explained in one sentence, it is very difficult for him to write a small composition. Headache. Their letters are like green beans to be chopped off.

As for Harry's scar pain, Tom wasn't very surprised—Voldemort had regained his strength, so there was nothing to be surprised about, just write a letter to comfort Harry later.

At this time, Mr. Granger had already read Ron's letter, and thought it might be a good decision to go to the World Cup with the Weasleys.

"Now that you've made a decision, pack your luggage for me!" Finally, Mrs. Granger made the final decision, driving everyone out of the kitchen and rushing to their respective rooms to pack their luggage.

For Tom, packing is not a complicated matter: just fold the clothes neatly and stuff them in the box. But in the eyes of Hermione and Mrs. Granger, packing is obviously not that simple.

"A change of clothes, toiletries, facial cleanser, disinfectant, and... and..." Mrs. Granger held a large basket full of things in her arms, and walked around the room, chanting words, she Some dissatisfied said: "I really should have made a list earlier!"

Tom now knew who Hermione had inherited her personality from.

Not only Hemma was very excited, but Mr. Granger also looked extremely excited. He took out a huge travel bag from somewhere in the house, which was full of items needed for camping.

But it's normal, the British people's favorite way of vacation is camping, and it's normal for Mr. Granger to use it as a pastime.

"Wait, there's no need for a tent." Tom stopped Mr. Granger, who was trying to get a packed tent off the top of the wardrobe.

"When we traveled to Egypt last year, we bought a magic tent. There is still a lot of space inside, so there is no need to carry an ordinary tent." Hermione remembered the super luxurious tent used when traveling to Egypt.

"Cool!" Mr. Granger snapped his fingers, "This is the first time I've heard of a magic tent. Is there enough space inside?"

Hermione: ...

She suddenly realized a problem: how to explain to her father that there was only one bedroom in the tent?

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Tom smelled a change in the air, and saw Mr. Granger's increasingly unfriendly gaze. He seemed to be able to see the "Friendly-1" logo on Mr. Granger's head, and before Mr. Granger's relationship with him changed from "friendly" to "cold", he cleared his throat.

"The sofa in the living room in the tent is spacious enough for two people to sleep comfortably."

"Ah, so," Mr. Granger's expression softened, "but let's take this tent! Come on, Tom, give me a hand."

Tom didn't dare to refuse at all, he pulled a stool over and together with Mr. Granger moved down the bag containing the tent.

"A lot of dust has accumulated." Mr. Granger lightly brushed the dust off the tent bag. "The last time I went camping was when Minmin was in elementary school. It's been five or six years since now."

Tom stood aside obediently and nodded, while Hermione took advantage of the time when Dad was cleaning the tent and slipped away. As for poor Tom, she believed he would be happy with his father.

But Hermione didn't feel well for a few minutes. She just ran to the second floor when she was caught by Mrs. Granger to pack her luggage. At this moment, Hermione was extremely thankful that she had already packed her clothes, otherwise some clothes might be difficult to explain to her mother...

The next few hours were an extremely long tidying time, and Tom felt like he was in prison. But everything came to an end, and after Hemma announced the packing was over countless times, but suddenly remembered that there were still things to add, the Grangers finally packed their bags.

Looking at the three suitcases in front of him, Tom subconsciously said, "Actually, we might just stay there for one night..."

"Tom is right." Thinking of walking for several kilometers with these luggage on his shoulders, Mr. Granger immediately expressed his support for Tom.

"But there are also games that lasted for half a month!" Hermione gave different opinions.

Tom and Mr. Granger looked at each other, gaining courage from each other.

"That's only a rare case. We studied at Hogwarts for three years. Which game lasted more than one day? The pace of professional games will only be faster and more intense. Not to mention the Seekers of this year's relegation team Crum is at a very high level."

Hermione blushed and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mr. Granger. He said very seriously: Tom is right.

So the four of them unpacked the luggage again, repacked it again, and stuffed as many odds and ends as possible into the box that had been cast with the traceless stretching spell. Eventually, three suitcases turned into a tent pack and a large suitcase.

Everyone is satisfied.

The time agreed with the Weasleys came soon.

This invitation was offered by Mr. Weasley. Hospitality is a tradition of the Weasley family, so they took the initiative to invite friends such as Harry and Tom to visit their home, and then went to the World Cup together. Harry is a good friend of Ron, although Tom has little contact with Ron , but have been working hand in hand with Fred and George... Ah no, we met very late, so those who came and went also became acquainted with the Weasleys.

Of course, because Tom often has business contacts with Fred and George, his image with Mrs. Weasley is not as good as Harry's. But, despite Mrs. Weasley's resentment that Tom had been buying crooked toys from her two troubled sons, Tom was still considered a friend of the Weasleys - friends, too! Since he is a friend, Tom is also within the scope of the invitation.

When Mr. Weasley accidentally learned that Mr. and Mrs. Granger were going to watch the Quidditch World Cup, he almost fell into a frenzy: this is a real Muggle! You have almost endless hours of chatting with them without worrying about violating confidentiality laws! Such opportunities are rare.

So Arthur immediately asked his youngest son Ron to invite Tom and the Granger family. This is the ins and outs of Ron sending the invitation letter.

As Muggles who knew almost nothing about the wizarding world, the Grangers still hoped that wizards would guide them. The two parties hit it off and reached a consensus.

According to the original plan, Mr. Weasley would go to the Dursleys' house to pick Harry up at the Burrow at five o'clock in the afternoon on August 21, and then meet them at the Granger's house. The Weasleys, the Grangers, Tom and Harry will spend the night at the Burrow before heading to the match the next morning.

The competition will start on the evening of August 22, and how long it will last depends on God's will.

Mr. and Mrs. Granger were a little nervous on the afternoon of the 21st. They put on their camping clothes and sat in the living room. Mr. Granger specially cut his hair and shaved his beard, and Mrs. Granger also changed her bath and dressing in advance, and changed her hairstyle.

Everyone's luggage was neatly piled up in the corner of the room, Crookshanks squatted on it, holding his hands, like a **** plush toy, and Tom's pigeon squatted quietly on top of Crookshanks. Tom fastened the jug containing the treverso to the straps of his tent pack.

If nothing else happened, Mr. Weasley and the others should have come around five quarters, but something happened.

The hands of the clock on the wall pointed to a quarter past five, but nothing happened. Twenty five... half past five... quarter past five...

At this moment, the phone in the living room rang.

Mr. Granger picked up the phone, and a very young voice came through the receiver.

"Hello, is this Hermione's house?"

Tom recognized immediately that the voice belonged to Harry.

Hermione walked to the phone, took the phone from her father, and pressed the speakerphone.

"Yes, it's me, Hermione. Harry, you—why, um..." Hermione was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

Wouldn't it be rude to ask them why they haven't come yet? She thought so in her heart.

Mr. Weasley's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is this the phone? It's amazing, I'm going to make one too-oh, sorry, Harry, I didn't mean to interrupt you-"

It can be heard that on the other end of the phone, there is a chaos like flying dogs.

Harry held his forehead in pain, and tried his best to say in short sentences: "We will talk about other things later, I need to confirm one thing with you first, Hermione, your fireplace should not be sealed, right?"

The Granger family turned their eyes to the fireplace in the living room. The fireplace was extinguished at this time, but there was no doubt that it was not blocked.

After getting an affirmative answer, Harry and Mr. Weasley on the other end of the phone were relieved.

"Wait a few minutes, we'll be right there - remember to keep a distance from the fireplace!" After finishing speaking, Harry hung up the phone, took out a few coins and handed them to the strange-looking convenience store clerk, leading Mr. Weasley Fly away from this convenience store with a public phone.

After a few minutes, the fireplace in the living room burst into a green flame as tall as a person, and then, a middle-aged man with a somewhat bald head suddenly appeared in the flames of the fireplace. Flames spewed around his green robes, but could not harm him.

In the eyes of the Grangers, this way of appearance is simply too handsome.

Mr. Arthur looked a little tired. He stepped out of the flames and shook hands with Mr. and Mrs. Granger.

"Great, it's a good thing you didn't seal up the fireplace, you are Mr. and Mrs. Granger!"

Mr. Granger nodded with a smile, and shook hands with Mr. Weasley.

"This afternoon, I connected your fireplace to the Floo network—and the Dursleys', which is technically forbidden, but I have a Acquaintance, so..."

At this moment, the flames in the fireplace behind him expanded again, and Harry staggered out from inside. Tom's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he caught him.

"This is Harry." Mr. Weasley introduced Harry to the Grangers.

Within seconds, Tom's acquaintances Fred and George also appeared in the living room of Granger's house. When Mr. Weasley saw his two sons appearing here, his expression was out of control for a moment, but he quickly covered it up.

After confirming that there were no latecomers, Harry told everyone why they were late and what happened at Dursley's house just now.

It turned out that according to the plan, Mr. Weasley would use the Floo network to go to the Dursleys' house, pick up Harry, and then use the Floo network to come to Hermione's house and take away the four members of Hermione's family. It started off a bit wrong: the Dursleys had plugged up their own fireplace.

Mr. Weasley, who was stuck between his own fireplace and the Dursleys' fireplace, had to use the Detonating Charm to blow up the Dursleys' fireplace, which made the meeting between the two parties extremely awkward - Fred and George left it on purpose. Fat Tongue Toffee is to make the relationship between the two parties worse.

It took Mr. Weasley a lot of effort to do the aftermath: fix the fireplace at the Dursleys', fix Dudley's big tongue, and clean up the Dursleys' living room along the way.

This meeting really left a great psychological shadow on Mr. Weasley, so the first thing he did when he returned to the Burrow was not to settle accounts with his twin sons~lightnovelpub.net~ but to let Ha Leigh contacted Hermione to ask if their fireplace was sealed.

Fortunately, there is a public telephone in the small town near the Burrow, fortunately, Harry had exchanged phone numbers with Tom and Hermione before, fortunately, he kept this number in his heart, otherwise today’s meeting would have been delayed—Mr. Weasley really I don't want to blow up another fireplace.

After getting an affirmative answer, Mr. Weasley went to Hermione's house with Harry.

After hearing this bizarre experience, everyone present was stunned, and Tom quickly looked around to make sure that Fred and George didn't leave any weird products here.

Mr. Weasley understood Tom's eyes at once. He gave the twins who were in a daze a hard look, rubbed his hands, and said to Mr. Granger, "Well... I think we can let's go?"

Because it is difficult to break the chapter, so I simply posted a two-in-one 4,000-word chapter~ It said it was 4,000, but it was actually 4,100 words.

I was watching Dunkirk today, and I found a small easter egg in it~
