Chinese students at Hogwarts

Chapter 358 Declaration of force

These Aurors and Strikers were wearing brand new uniforms, and I have to say they looked handsome.

Barty Crouch hired someone to redesign the Ministry of Magic uniforms?

"It's Aurors and Strikers!"

Ron immediately stopped and looked at them in surprise.

Harry immediately put down the bucket and asked quietly:

"Auror? What is an Auror and what is a Striker?"

Malfoy's eyebrows knitted together:

"Strikemen are the law enforcement force of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. They have a large number of people, a bit similar to the police in Muggle society.

But Aurors—Aurors are specifically responsible for tracking down those vicious dark wizards. Almost all the prisoners in Azkaban were sent in by Aurors.

Very powerful, they are the most powerful force in the Ministry of Magic. "

Harry's eyes began to sparkle and his breathing began to quicken.

Listen to it, specialize in tracking down dark wizards! Arrest them and send them to Azkaban!

"I want to be an Auror!"

"You?" Malfoy squinted at him, snorted from his nose, and said slowly:

"Potter, it's not that I look down on you. It's not easy to be an Auror. It requires at least five N.E.W.T exams.

They must also pass a criminal record background check and a rigorous character and aptitude test.

You also have to pass exams such as stealth and disguise.”

Harry said confidently: "Five doors? That's not too difficult!"

Malfoy made Harry completely lose confidence with just one sentence.

"Oh Potter, I forgot to tell you, one of them is potions."

Harry's eyes gradually lost their brightness.

Zhang Xiao did not participate in the chat with his friends, but looked at them seriously.

Wanting to see what these people were planning to do, not only him, but the entire camp gradually became quiet.

The wizards stopped what they were doing and looked at the Aurors and Strikers scattered around the camp in shock.

In their impression, these things did not happen in previous World Cups.

A sharp whistle sounded, and these figures seemed to have received some order.

They all raised their wands and pointed to the sky.

Streams of light shot out rapidly from the wand.

Zhang Xiao almost thought that what they were holding was not a magic wand but a fireworks stick.

He closed his eyes and then opened them suddenly, his dark brown pupils brightened a bit.

【Dharma Eye! 】

The curse that filled the sky immediately became clear, and Zhang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and began to distinguish.

Safe guarding, all protection, Muggle expulsion, quietly

Are they all protective magic?

Hundreds of magic spells kept flying into the sky. In everyone's shocked eyes, a bright, super-large semicircular transparent protective shield slowly formed, with various brilliance flashing from time to time.

It flickered like this for a while, then the light exploded, and finally disappeared into the air.

The strikers and Aurors neatly put down their wands, lowered the brim of their hats, and then apparated away.

It was only then that the previously lost sounds seemed to have returned. A huge, noisy buzz sounded in every corner of the camp, and people enthusiastically discussed this unprecedented aspect.

The foursome picked up the buckets again and rushed towards the place where they were fetching water, but the topic of conversation changed to what had just happened.

"Did you see it? Did you see it?" Ron's ears turned red with excitement. He swung the bucket and almost hit an equally excited wizard.

The wizard glanced at him dissatisfied, then immediately turned back and participated in the discussion with interest.

Ron shrank his head and his movements softened a lot, but he was still shaking with excitement:,

"It's so cool. Look at their uniforms and the way they collectively lower their hat brims. Is this the Ministry of Magic? Is this the Auror?"

Malfoy nodded: "I care more about why they did this. Barty Crouch is not Fudge's idiot. He must have a purpose for doing this."

"Compared to this." Harry pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind, and said worriedly: "Guys, if I go to Professor Snape to have a good chat, I can give it to him at Christmas. A big bottle of the most expensive shampoo, is it possible for him to let me get N.E.W.T.’s potion certificate?”

Send shampoo to Snape?

Zhang Xiao looked at Harry in surprise, what do you think? Do you think Snape's oily head is due to shampoo?

It's obviously because I often study potions, and I get smoked by the vapors from the potions, okay?

"Harry, are you sure you want to show off Professor Snape instead of mocking him?"

After silently saying "Harry", Zhang Xiao closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief:

"I can guess why Crouch did this."

"for what?"

The three little ones immediately turned their attention to Zhang Xiao.

"Establish prestige! In other words, establish prestige. No, it should be said to create an impression that the Ministry of Magic is very powerful."

Zhang Xiao stopped, placed the bucket on the ground, turned on the faucet, and said slowly:

"During Fudge's era, the prestige of the Ministry of Magic was already in jeopardy. He made many unintended moves, which disgraced the Ministry of Magic. Especially when he left office, he desperately defended himself as being controlled by the Imperius Curse.

This even pushed the Ministry of Magic's face to the ground and stepped on it several times. "

Seeing the confused faces of Harry and Ron, Ponyboy frowned, and then looked like he suddenly understood:

"I understand, Zhang. Fudge said that he was controlled by the Imperius Curse. This shows that the ministers of the Ministry of Magic can easily be controlled by Death Eaters. This means that the Ministry of Magic is a group of incompetent people.

Indeed, I don't really trust the Ministry of Magic. "

Zhang Xiao nodded approvingly: "Yes, that's it Draco, so after Crouch came to power, he has been trying to rebuild the prestige of the Ministry of Magic, such as lifting the restrictions on Aurors.

They are allowed to use all means to attack Death Eaters, such as constantly making tough speeches to declare their attitudes.

Another example: they just showed force, these are all. "

They returned through the camp, walking much slower because they were carrying water. The campers on the site gradually woke up.

The first to get up were families with young children.

Those little wizards rode toys and swept, flying low. These brooms were a bit like the children's version of Xiangyun. They were used to coax children. They could only just fly up, and their toes lightly passed over them. The dewy grass and crisp laughter echoed throughout the camp.

Some children stole their parents' wands and waved them casually, causing a series of sparks to come out of the wands.

The tent was quickly set on fire, and Harry almost poured the water he had finally fetched, if Zhang Xiao had been slower.

Wizards and witches in plaid pajamas rushed out of the tent and furiously snatched the wand from the child's hand.

He raised his hand and slapped her on the butt hard. With cries, more wizards gathered around and watched the rare scene of spanking a child.

From time to time, adult wizards can be seen emerging from their tents and starting to make breakfast.

Some looked furtively and lit the fire with their wands;

Some were striking matches with doubtful expressions on their faces, as if they thought it would definitely not work.

Two African male wizards sat there waiting for something. In front of them was a pile of suspicious, purple flames. After a while, a cheetah ran wildly from a distance, causing bursts of screams.

The leopard still had a hare in its mouth. When it got close to the bonfire, it suddenly rolled on the ground and turned into a wizard also wearing a white robe.

He handed the rabbit to his companion and sat quietly in front of the campfire, waiting for his companion to roast the rabbit.

"This should be a graduate of Wagadu."

A look of envy appeared on Malfoy's face, and he introduced to his friend in a low voice:

"Vagadu's students are very good at human transformation, also known as Animagus. Although they can only transform into a few types of animals, their success rate is quite high."

At this moment, a green light suddenly appeared in front of them, even a little dazzling. Then they were surprised to find that in the area they had just walked into, all the tents were covered with a thick layer of clover, which looked like they had grown from the ground. Countless green hills of strange shapes popped up.

"I got it, Shamrock! It's an Irish supporter!"

Ron said firmly, and he suddenly became curious: "By the way, what do you think the Bulgarians will hang on their tents?"

"Let's go over and take a look!" Harry said.

So several people hurried to another place.

When we got there, we discovered that the Bulgarian tents were not covered with any plants, but each tent had the same poster, which showed a very gloomy face with thick, black eyebrows.

Although it is still an active picture, the face only blinks and frowns.

Well - Zhang Xiao looked at these pictures, this should be the first tragic supporting actor to truly discover Hermione's potential.

Viktor Krum.

"Krum," Ron whispered.

"What?" Harry.

"Krum!" Ron said, "Viktor Krum, the Bulgarian Seeker! A peerless genius. I heard he is only 18 years old. It is said that he is already the best Seeker in the world!"

"Really?" Harry was a little unconvinced. He felt that he should also be very powerful.

In fact, this was the case. Zhang Xiao felt that if Harry went to play Quidditch, with more professional training, he might be able to compete with Klum in the World Cup.

Top-notch Quidditch talent is not something to be boasted about.

When they rushed back to the camp, Mr. Weasley still had not lit the fire. There were rubbed matches all around him, but he still looked like he was using it for the first time.

Carefully light the match, then put it under a bundle of firewood, looking at it expectantly, but soon the match went out again.

"Let me teach you, Mr. Weasley," Zhang Xiao put down the water and said gently, without intending to laugh at him.

Not to mention Arthur, even many ordinary people don't know how to light a fire correctly, because it is impossible to light the wood directly with a match.

Zhang Xiao broke off some thin branches and found some dried weeds, toilet paper and the like.

Pile the firewood, leaving enough space underneath, and then stuff the flammable material inside. After using the match to easily light the weeds, you immediately start stuffing the small branches inside.

"At this time we should fan ourselves and get some air."

Zhang Xiao conjured up a cattail leaf fan and fanned downwards vigorously.

"Oh..." Mr. Weasley nodded hurriedly, and then watched in amazement as the fire grew bigger and bigger, with billowing smoke rising from below. When the fire finally rose, he clapped his hands vigorously, as happy as a child.

After finishing lunch, the little guys immediately slipped out. Their tent was on the only way to the stadium.

Ministry officials were rushing back and forth on the road, and Mr. Arthur's good popularity was clearly evident at this moment.

All the officials who passed by greeted Mr. Weasley warmly as they passed by. Zhang Xiao seriously doubted that Hermione's ability to become Minister of Magic in the end of the original book was closely related to her being the daughter-in-law of the Weasley family.

This is also an important reason why Percy was able to get such a good position as soon as he graduated.

He is not the only wizard with good grades in Percy's class. For example, his girlfriend, Penelope, the prefect of Ravenclaw, is very beautiful and has excellent grades, so Percy is not inferior.

But just because of her ordinary birth, she could only choose to do the simplest copywriting job at the Daily Prophet, and the Ministry of Magic refused to accept her at all.

But these are not things that the little wizards think about. They are tired of the constant greetings, so they sneak out as soon as they get the chance.

As the afternoon wore on, a sense of excitement spread over the campground like a palpable cloud.

Even the still summer air seemed to tremble with anticipation at dusk.

As night fell like a curtain over hundreds of eagerly awaiting wizards, the last traces of pretense disappeared: the Ministry seemed to be succumbing to the inevitable, no longer fighting against those who were clearly using magic. Signs are popping up everywhere.

Every few steps, a phantom vendor descends from the sky, carrying an iron plate and pushing a cart filled with strange and weird gadgets.

Everyone was excited and anxious. They rushed forward with lots of galleons and couldn't wait to buy various souvenirs.

Such as the glowing badges - green for Ireland and red for Bulgaria.

As long as they pat the badge, they can scream out the names of the team members;

There are the national flags of the two countries, which will play their respective national anthems when waved; there is also a small model of the Firebolt that can really fly - just open your palm and it will fly back and forth quickly.

Zhang Xiao liked this kind of thing very much. He simply bought a board and gave one to everyone. Everyone knew that Zhang Fuyu was incredible, but no one cared. ,

Just smiled and said thank you.

Zhang Xiao probably took a look and thought everything was interesting. Those little figures were moving figures - such as the statues of the players of the two teams.

Those little statues can walk around in the palm of your hand, looking triumphant.

"Zhang, thank you so much!" Ron said happily while buying souvenirs.

"Thank you for introducing the job to my mother. My pocket money has doubled several times. Otherwise, I would have only been able to choose one or two items to buy!"

Ron shook his pocket, and the gold galleons made a crisp sound inside.

He was very generous and bought a dancing shamrock hat, a large green rose-shaped badge, and a small statue of the Bulgarian Seeker Viktor Krum.

The diminutive Krum paced back and forth on Ron's hand, frowning and glaring at the green badge above him.

"By the way, this hat is for you!"

Ron bought another green high hat and watched Zhang Xiao put it on expectantly.

"No!" Zhang Xiao looked at the cuckold and shook his head resolutely, simply, what's wrong, you want to give me a cuckold? ? ?

Malfoy laughed, pointed at the green hat and said:

"In the East, green hats are considered bad, so no one wants to be a cuckold."

Is that so? Ron could only give the cuckold to Ginny with great regret. Seeing Ginny's happy face, Zhang Xiao mourned for her in silence.

Well - poor Ginny, maybe she actually wore a hat, because the little girlfriend Harry was talking to seemed to have a good relationship. Although she was two years younger, she was beautiful and had a good personality.

Harry was so obsessed that there was a tendency to get married right after graduation. However, his little girlfriend said that her family did not support her early love, so she did not make it public and did not dare to come to see Harry.

"Wow, look at these!" Harry said, rushing to a small cart. There were many things that looked like binoculars piled high in the cart, but they were covered with all kinds of weird knobs and dials. .

"The panoramic telescope," the wizard vendor enthusiastically promoted: "You can replay the picture... in slow motion... and if necessary, it can also flash an analysis of the game situation. Let's make a deal - ten galleons a piece. "

"Ten galleons?" Ron's eyes widened in surprise. He opened his pocket and counted five. He looked at the panoramic telescope with greedy eyes.

Even though his salary was much higher, the Weasley family still had many children, and Ron's pocket money was not so much that he didn't take Galleons seriously.

Mr. Ha and Mr. Ma immediately took a step forward without hesitation to pay:

"I'll help you--"

Zhang Xiao pulled his hands back one by one and turned the so-called panoramic telescope. Suddenly, memories of his past life emerged. He followed his wife's example:

"We'll buy it for five galleons each. Do you want to sell it?"

"Deal!" The vendor immediately handed over the binoculars with a smile.

Zhang Xiao took a step back with satisfaction, hiding his merit and fame, leaving only Mr. Ha and Mr. Ma with their mouths open.

In fact, it’s fun to haggle occasionally.

When the money bag was empty, they returned to their tent.

At this time, a deep and deep gong sound came from somewhere far away in the woods. Immediately, thousands of red and green lanterns bloomed on the trees, lighting up the road leading to the arena.

"It's time!" said Mr. Weasley, looking as excited as everyone else. "Come on, let's go."
