A week before the start of the Quidditch World Cup, Professor McGonagall found Newt Scamman.
Not long ago, Luke Bagman sent a letter to Professor McGonagall, asking how many tickets she needed. .
"No," Newt smiled and shook his head, "I didn't like it very much before um" He glanced at a certain dog that was watching TV with relish and was kept in the dark by Professor McGonagall. The little skin cat changed his words: "Anyway, Tina and I are getting older, so we won't go back and forth."
Newt's hobby since he was a child was studying all kinds of magical creatures, and he was not very obsessed with the sport of Quidditch. As an American wizard, Tina's favorite sport was ghost blast instead of Quidditch.
The same is true of Rove's parents. They have stayed in the United States for a long time, and they are not very interested in Quidditch.
"Minerva, are we going back, meow?"
(??w??)
The programs on TV began to enter commercials, and Mao Mao was free to focus on the conversation between Professor McGonagall and Newt.
"Yes," Professor McGonagall replied, "we will go back after staying here for another week, but before we go back, we have to go to a place to play for a day."
"What meow place what meow place?"
?(??w??)?
As soon as Mao Mao heard that he was going to play in a new place, he immediately jumped up to Professor McGonagall excitedly and asked.
Professor McGonagall smiled mysteriously, and pretended to be closed: "Temporary secret, you will know when you get there."
"Hermione is coming with us too?"
Fish asked again, and at the same time Hermione also looked at Professor McGonagall, who was also kept in the dark.
In fact, Hermione knew that the Quidditch World Cup will be held in England this year. After all, after the semester ended, Harry and Ron almost talked all the way on the train back. Ron even sent a letter to invite her to join him. Go to the ball game.
It's just that she is accompanied by a cat now, how could she go to watch the boring Quidditch World Cup?
"Of course, I've talked to Jacqueline before, and she agreed," Professor McGonagall explained, "Hermione can stay with us until school starts, and you can go back to Hogwarts with her when the time comes. "
"But Fish doesn't want to take the train anymore, meow."
(?w?)
Mao Mao said with some disgust.
"I didn't say that you must take the train," Professor McGonagall shook his head and laughed, "At that time, we will be the same as before, just go directly from homeHermione, are you okay?"
"certainly!"
How could there be a problem? !
Hermione wished she could spend more time alone with Fish instead of being disturbed by other girls on the Hogwarts Express.
"Dad, can I go play with Fish?"
Rove didn't know about the Quidditch World Cup, he just wanted to spend two more days with Fish.
Mr. Scamander did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Professor McGonagall.
"If you agree, there is no problem." It's just buying an extra ticket, which is of course not a problem for Professor McGonagall. "I will send him back after the end."
Although Professor McGonagall was vague, the smart Hermione still heard that they should go to an event together a week later, and then contacted the letter that Ron sent through the owl named Piggy not long ago
"Minerva, aren't we going to watch the Quidditch World Cup final?"
Hermione asked with a strange face, but she knew that Fish was not interested in this sport at all.
Professor McGonagall was slightly taken aback, then shook his head helplessly and smiled: "You guessed it That's right, the World Cup final will be in a week, Bulgaria vs. Ireland If you don't want to go, then forget it."
Originally, she wanted to tease the little skin cat, but she didn't expect to be guessed by Hermione, a clever little witch, so it seemed unnecessary to deceive Fish.
"Minerva really wants to meow?"
(??w??)
Fish remembered that Professor McGonagall liked Quidditch very much. Although he didn't know what the Quidditch World Cup was, he could roughly guess from the term that it was a relatively important event.
"Fisch can go with you, anyway, it's only one day, right?"
"Ahif the game goes well."
?Professor McGonagall smiled gratifiedly, if he couldIt is of course the best to be accompanied by Fish, because the little skin cat will always show this kind of considerate behavior from time to time, which makes me often reluctant to be too strict with him
Of course, that's another story when the cat gets into trouble and she gets angry.
Although the plan to tease Fish went bankrupt before it started, Professor McGonagall decided to take the three children to watch the final of the Quidditch World Cup together.
Although Rove has no interest in Quidditch, he will not refuse to hang out with Fish.
Hermione was not very happy about his lack of insight, but she was relieved when she thought that she would meet Harry and Ron on the day of the finals, and the chances of meeting other students were also very high.
Anyway, she is already Fish's girlfriend now, and she has also learned Animagus, so she will have plenty of time to be alone with Maomao in the future, not less than a day or two
A week passed quickly, and on the morning of the final day, Professor McGonagall and others finished breakfast at Scamander's house, rested for a while, and watched TV for a while before walking out of the house unhurriedly.
The difference between the United States and England is five hours, and it is still early in the morning in England at this time, so they don't need to worry at all.
"Minerva, we don't need Floo powder?"
(??w??)?
Fish didn't come back to it until he followed Professor McGonagall out of the room. He tugged at Professor McGonagall's clothes and asked curiously.
"The location of the World Cup is relatively remote, and it is still a venue managed by Muggles. There is no fireplace nearby to connect to the Floo network." Professor McGonagall explained to Fish: "Although I can also take you to apparate there. , but it happens to be a rare opportunity, I think it seems pretty good to let you experience another way of long-distance movement of wizards."
"Another way to move?"
Not only Fish, but even Hermione and Rove became curious.
"Portkey," she replied, "Since there are not many people in the United States who like to watch Quidditch, and there are only four wizards nearby who buy tickets, the Ministry of Magic directly put the Portkey in this area. In the nearby parking lot."
"What is a Portkey?"
"Well the function of the portkey is to transport the wizard from one place to another within the specified time. To put it simply, the portkey is equivalent to a portable fireplace, except that they do not need to use Floo powder. It¡¯s also varied.¡±
Professor McGonagall explained to the three curious babies, and led them to an underground parking lot.
They walked to the deepest part of the parking lot non-stop, and then Professor McGonagall picked up an old toy car from the corner. There was only one wheel left on it, and one door was missing.
"This is the Portkey, meow?"
?(?¦µw¦µ?)?
Fish looked at the toy car in Professor McGonagall's hand, and shook his nose slightly.
"There seems to be nothing special?"
"Put your finger on it."
Professor McGonagall took out a pocket watch from his pocket, looked at the time, and stopped explaining, and directly held the toy car in front of Fisher and the others.
The three children put their hands up as they said, while Professor McGonagall continued to stare at the pocket watch and began to count the seconds: "Ten, nine, eight three, two, one"
When it was too late, Fisher suddenly felt as if a hook was behind his navel and hooked forward with irresistible momentum, and he lifted his feet off the ground and flew up.
Then he felt that he was traveling through the air at an extremely fast speed, and the surrounding scenery was blurred, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Fish tried to retract his hand, but found that his fingers seemed to be glued to the toy car, and he couldn't take it off at all.
Just when Maomao wanted to add a spell to himself and continue to try, his feet had already stepped on the soft grass, and the hand that was glued to the toy car was easily removed.
"Pfft."
Hermione on the side didn't stand still, and threw herself directly into Fish's arms. Rove on the other side shook a few times, and then Professor McGonagall grabbed the collar to stabilize her body.
At the same time, a strange voice sounded from the side¡ª¡ª
"Five thirty-two, from the parking lot in New York."
