Chapter 1369 ? Potion Tournament
Because Ron kept pulling Harry to babble about those men, Ginny finally had to lean on the table with her arms and her cheeks in her hands, looking around idly—then she noticed that she was standing by the pillar pretending to be Luna of Hufflepuff.
Ginny took a look at the other party's attire, but what was a little strange was that the lady of the Malfoy family was serving Luna like a maid. She was a little surprised to notice that Narcissa seemed to say earnestly: It took a long time before Luna sat down, and a thin blanket was put on her imitated Hufflepuff's charming figure...
The young witch who is a lover of romance novels and always has unhealthy thoughts in her mind suddenly sat up straight, covering her mouth with her hand, and her heart was shaken—to confirm her suspicion, Ginny simply pulled Wes Mrs. Lai's sleeve, pointing in the direction of Luna.
Mrs. Weasley looked at Luna's direction inexplicably when she heard the words, and she was not surprised to find that the good girl from the neighbor's house was dressed in a strange way, and then she was surprised to find that the girl who always looked down on her when she was in school was very cute. The disgusting witch of the Black family was squeezing lemon juice into the drink in the gold cup of that strange girl, and she also noticed that the fullness of the other's stomach seemed to be more than just an imitation effect.
Molly felt blood rushing to her head in an instant, and she squeezed the tablecloth in front of her tightly with her hands, but reason still made her lower her voice, otherwise Ginny would be even more frightened: "Why is Ellen so messed up? How big! Xenophilius still complains about not being able to see his daughter... She dressed up like this, could it be that Peacock family's idea to please Alan? The family still doesn't know?!!!...I have never in my life ...Ginny, if you dare to do this kind of thing with Harry, just wait for me and your father to deal with you!"
Petunia next to Molly heard Molly's scolding and noticed her mood changes, but she didn't understand why this witch, who seemed as friendly as a country woman with little knowledge, suddenly became furious.
"Come here, Percy." Mrs. Weasley beckoned to her third son, letting the wizard, who was planning to meet up with his boss after dinner, lean over obediently, and she continued to order in a low voice. , "Percy, you go..." Molly squinted at her meticulously dressed son, and then changed her tone, "You go to George and they call Bill over to hold Xenophilius, he Being able to talk to him ... I think Owen and the others will thank you later."
Percy, who was usually quite obedient, got excited when he heard the last sentence, he quickly left his seat and went to find his brothers according to his mother's instructions.
Most of the people who stayed in the seats didn't hear their previous conversation clearly, and Mrs. Weasley didn't intend to explain to them. She got up and was about to leave, and then she turned her head suddenly, "Harry..." Molly Looking at Harry, he shook his head, then glared at his younger son, "Ron! Don't let me know that you are stupid at school...don't let me know that you bullied Miss Brown."
Ron, who was holding a chicken leg in one hand, was complaining, but his mother scolded him with a dazed face, and Harry could only nod dumbly.
He could see what Mrs. Weasley had discovered. He had known about Luna for a long time, but now he was not sure whether the other family members knew about it. He could only watch Mrs. Weasley rushing towards Luna. Narcissa and Narcissa walked over, grabbed Narcissa who didn't know what to do, and then forcibly helped Luna who looked at Molly's eyes and wanted to say something, and pulled her towards Morgan Le Fay. .
"Mr. Dursley, your son is quite strong, isn't he... almost catching up with Charlie, isn't he, dear?" Arthur, who was low in perception, didn't realize that there were few people around him in a short time. Looking at the empty chair beside him, he said, "But it's embarrassing. When you were pregnant with Charlie for almost ten months, he only gained more than seven pounds. Now he wants to gain seven pounds. I think it only takes three weeks..."
Later, when Morgan Le Fay felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain to Mollie that his son was playing big, in the small dining room above the banquet hall, which was modeled after the Muggle Prime Minister's residence at 10 Downing Street.
Owen sat down with some ministers of the Ministry of Magic of other countries who had come over to bless his newborn daughter and principals of some magic colleges who had not appeared below before, and had a more private banquet.
"In our country, boys wear blue ribbons and girls wear red ribbons to distinguish them..." Juliette Binoche, the Minister of Magic of France who was wearing a violet dress and looked extraordinarily dignified, introduced enthusiastically.
With a slight smile on his face, Owen raised a glass of red wine and drank it without saying a word, to cover up his sudden thought of the joke about the other country's flag that his son Alan told him - wait for the red and blue to be separated Finally, the remaining white can be used to teach children how to surrender.
However, there is an elegant beauty, which makes most of the ministers, who are still dominated by wizards, try to show the elegant side of their own country's culture, so the atmosphere on the wine table is very good, until the banquet proceeds to dessert part.
Owen casually asked the main question with a dessert spoon in his hand: "I think you are well-informed. What do you think about the recent developments of the International Federation of Wizards?"
Hearing this, the Indian High Priest Kusrapari, who had never appeared in the following venue before, grabbed Buddy on his body; the enthusiastic female minister Binoche just raised the wine glass in front of her, and took a small sip. Drink; Madame Maxime gracefully smoothed the folds on her black satin skirt... None of them made a sound as they were thinking about each other.
The room fell silent for a moment, until Durmstrang's headmaster, Igor Karkaroff, lifted his bony chin and opened his mouth, replacing it with the one he installed at Granger's house. The mouth full of rotten dentures made that sweet falsetto, breaking the silence: "I'm sure Chairman Babajid wants to resign recently, but I don't have much opinion yet."
There were also a lot of gasping sounds—many people did know the plan of the current president, but many people actually heard it for the first time.
"It's not a bad thing for him to resign as president now..." High Priest Kusrapari raised his chin, and seemed to start to think about his words, "I heard that the vice-principal of the Wagadou School of Magic There are already vacancies for him at any time, and at his age, it is very meaningful to come back to do some magic research and education work."
"Actually, we arranged for everyone to gather here separately, mainly because President Babajid wanted to resign." Owen clasped his hands in front of him and said somewhat directly, "The previous president of the International Federation of Wizards Sir, it is Mr. Albus Dumbledore from the United Kingdom, he has contributed to the peace of the international magic community..." He looked at the ministers of other countries, "So our British Ministry of Magic hopes that the International Union of Wizards can be brought together again. Take back the position of president."
Hearing Owen's words, after a few seconds of silence, even the music erupted into laughter—even though all the wizards here are experienced professionals, some wizards almost couldn't maintain their facial expressions for Owen's almost whimsical words. .
High Priest Kusrapari even lowered his head, as if he was interested in a small ornament on his body, but the corner of his mouth turned up to reveal his mocking attitude.
"Minister Harris, the strength of the British magic community is obvious to all in the international community at this time..." Female Minister Binoche organized her thoughts, slowly trying to remind Owen in a tactful way, "But it also caused some countries to misunderstand .”
"Owen, although the previous sanctions against the United Kingdom have existed in name only, at least many Ministry of Magic have not ended it in name..." Mrs. Maxim turned the opal ring on her hand, and said more directly than her minister.
"Hahaha, you British people have a kind of humor in your bones...but you will talk about the jokes later..." A hearty voice came, and a round-faced witch who was stronger than Molly's body slapped the table and laughed out loud , "If you're joking, I'll talk about it later. Kodos Torrez sent me over to ask if I want to use the venue of the duel competition to hold a magic school potion tournament? Maybe it can just expand the influence instead of only four colleges, I I think Principal Alan Harris should still be able to participate as a student... If he can use the potion that turns the squib into a wizard, I think there is no problem winning the championship...We Russians and my allies admire the strong, Might be willing to support your UK in regaining the presidency of the Federation..."
Binoche was a little dissatisfied with the vulgarity of this witch, but he also smiled mockingly when he thought of the other party's previous occupation, and recognized this burly witch as Petrova Pokov. A witch with a Russian surname was a professional ball chaser, and Pokov's decoy technique was named after her surname, Pokov - and the Potions Tournament she was talking about was similar to the Triwizard Tournament, except that As a rule, this irregular competition, which has much less influence than the Goblet of Fire, is organized by the four magic schools of Hogwarts in the UK, Kodos Torrez in Russia, Magic Institute in Japan and Waggadu in Africa. In competitions held between schools, the winning school will only receive a more symbolic golden cauldron. (Author's Note: The tournament and the four colleges and prizes held are official settings, but the time and method of holding them are undecided. In order not to miss it, try to be the first person to eat any crab in the HP expansion setting. I have no intention of letting it go.)
And some other ministers understood the seemingly vulgar plan of the Russian witch in front of them in a short period of doubt. She first pointed out the disadvantages of Britain without mercy, and the following conditions were complementary-Russia because of its vast area It has always been a big exporter of herbs and potions. Obviously, the recent achievements in various potions in Floating Void City have obviously made the Russians envious. Now they directly use some kind of magic championship to raise their conditions to Britain.
However, even if Russia and its henchmen add France, it is obvious that Britain, which has almost become the target of public criticism, will not be able to regain this position, because it will not be of any benefit to other countries.
