The Bard at Hogwarts

There is no unified concept of how big a camp of 100,000 people is.

But one thing is certain, the camp tonight is really lively.

For more than half an hour, Ino felt like he was visiting a theme park, and the theme was called - wizards.

While shopping, he also fully realized the difficulties of the Weasley family.

Along the way, no matter how restrained he was, he spent nearly 10 Galleons.

Magic lanterns, golden balloons, Muggle alarms, rose-shaped badges, tarot cards, moving star maps, lunar globes...

There are too many interesting things, and many of them are even banned in England, but during the World Cup, 100,000 wizards poured in.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the deliberate relaxation of the Ministry of Magic.

After all, in this atmosphere, as long as it is not too dangerous or a large amount of smuggling, the Ministry of Magic seems to turn a blind eye.

...

"You... this... how much is it?" Ino said word by word.

The idle walk made him discover an interesting thing, the flying carpet that he had been thinking about.

The person selling flying carpets was a middle-aged wizard with a beard. Judging from his sunken eye sockets and high nose bridge, he was probably a wizard from the Middle East.

But he seemed very careful. The whole cart was filled with all kinds of cheap candies, but on the side of the cart, there was a folded flying carpet, which looked like a decoration from a distance.

Maybe he really couldn't speak, or he didn't want to give people a chance to criticize him.

After hearing the question, the middle-aged wizard first stretched out five fingers, but seemed to consider it inappropriate, so the number of fingers changed from five to four, and then the other hand clenched into a fist.

Forty Galleons.

Ino finally understood why England was a forbidden area for flying carpets. This price was not comparable to that of flying brooms.

Flying carpets of dozens of Galleons and flying brooms of hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of Galleons, these two are not in the same dimension at all.

If flying carpets really flooded into the market, it is estimated that no one would be stupid enough to buy brooms except Quidditch players.

After confirming the price, Ino did not think of bargaining. After all, the times were different now. He decisively counted out forty Galleons and handed them to the other party.

A magical scene appeared. The middle-aged wizard did not reach out to take the money. He first pointed to the cart, and then walked three meters away.

"Haha! OK, OK."

Ino was amused by the other party. He really learned the way of covering his ears and stealing the bell.

No dialogue, no money, and even the transaction was self-service. It seems that even if he was caught, there would be endless reasons and excuses.

Although he felt that it was unnecessary, Ino still completed the self-service transaction according to the other party's instructions. His experience of setting up a stall for divination made him know the difficulties of the bottom.

The transaction was completed smoothly.

After getting the flying carpet, he continued to walk to the other side.

The flying carpet was an unexpected gain, but the essential purpose of strolling was to see the inertia of fate.

However.

Two hours later, near midnight.

Looking at the camp full of singing and dancing, Ino finally realized that he had thought too much.

There were no riots or terrorist attacks by Death Eaters, only excitement and joy.

Such a result seemed unexpected, but it was reasonable when you think about it carefully.

Dumbledore's final appearance was like a weight that settled the plate. No matter what was placed on the other side, it could not weigh down the scale.

The 422nd World Cup held in England came to a very satisfactory end.

…

The first ray of light at dawn rose gently from the east.

Last night's Quidditch World Cup was like a small episode. After a short episode, a peaceful life is about to begin.

In the Black family tent.

Under the management of Mrs. Weasley, including Harry and Sirius, the whole family sat around the dining table and enjoyed a delicious breakfast.

At this time, an untimely voice sounded from outside the tent.

"They are really crazy! The entire Daily Prophet is crazy." Arthur shook his head and walked into the tent.

"Another reporter named Rita?" Mrs. Weasley took over the conversation, "God knows how she got those secret information."

"This time it's not secret information, but a real convulsion." Arthur sighed helplessly.

The conversation between the two successfully attracted the attention of everyone at the table.

Sirius stood up immediately and took the newspaper that Arthur brought back.

"Pfft... Hahahaha. They don't want to think about Dumbledore's age, and dare to make fun of such a ridiculous thing..."

Sirius sneered and said, then he spread the newspaper on the table.

Now everyone at the table saw the content of the newspaper.

Ron even read it out loud involuntarily: "Dumbledore's illegitimate son left in the Muggle world... Merlin!"

The bold black title, coupled with a high-definition photo, Dumbledore stood on the terrace, and next to him was Ino holding a phoenix.

The angle of the photo was very tricky, and it seemed that some kind of dislocation technique was used to make the two look more similar in expression.

As Ron read out the title, everyone was excited.

Mrs. Weasley even put down her cutlery and picked up the newspaper to read.

‘…The same phoenix, and the excellence in school days, which makes us have to doubt the relationship between the two…’

“Mad man!” Putting down the newspaper, Mrs. Weasley gave a brief and powerful evaluation.

"More than crazy, it's ridiculous." Sirius nodded, and then echoed:

"They don't think about the age difference between the two. It's better to make up that snotty, Snape's illegitimate child than Dumbledore. Anyway, they are both Slytherins."

"Sirius!" Mrs. Weasley put down the newspaper angrily.

Perhaps it was the care during the prison break, or the age difference, Sirius still respected Mrs. Weasley very much.

After seeing the other party angry, he immediately showed a strong desire to survive.

"Hahaha, I said it! It's all because of that reporter named Rita, who wrote some messy reports all day long..."

"That reporter will get retribution sooner or later!" Arthur said firmly at the dining table.

Unlike other people chatting, Harry looked at the photo thoughtfully.

After the contact some time ago, he really felt that Ino was similar to Professor Dumbledore.

Although he did not agree with this ridiculous illegitimate child arrangement, the feeling they brought to him was indeed very similar, and the most obvious feeling was - peace of mind.

Especially before learning the brain block technique, when he had nightmares and headaches.

And this disease seemed to have its own consciousness. As long as he stayed with the two of them, this symptom would be greatly alleviated, or even disappear.
