Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 424 Bagman and Crouch

With the concerted efforts of all the people, the breakfast was ready. Everyone took their plates and found a place to sit down, eating various types of breakfast made by themselves.

"Qiu, can I give Fish a taste of your cooking?"

(ω)

Maomao immediately found the little Chinese witch Qiu Zhang. In his opinion, Qiu Zhang and sister Jiuyue came from the same place, so they should be equally good at cooking, right?

"No problem at all!"

Qiu Zhang excitedly passed over the fried eggs and pumpkin porridge he had made.

(ω)
It's not buns or wontons...

Maomao was a little disappointed, but he thought about it again, maybe the ingredients here could not make these things, he remembered Professor McGonagall said that the ingredients for Chinese food were more difficult to buy.

So he still kept a glimmer of expectation, and took the food from Qiu Zhang.

miamiamiamia...

(~)
Fish took a sip of porridge first, and then tasted a slice of fried egg...

Might as well do it himself!
Disappointed!

"The things you cook are very ordinary..." Under the disappointment, Mao Mao didn't have the mood to take care of Qiu Zhang's mood, and said honestly: "Fish thought you would cook like sister Jiuyue meow... ..."

(`ω≡`ω)
Fish shook his head in disappointment, and walked away from Qiu Zhang.

The girls who had been watching this place nervously, as well as Harry, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fish, come and try my grilled fish."

Daphne, who is very confident in her cooking skills, immediately took the opportunity to rush forward, which annoyed the other girls who couldn't react, but there were still a few girls with good cooking skills who also squeezed over with the food they had prepared.

Hermione poked the fried egg on the plate vigorously with the fork in her hand, and Harry beside her was worried that Hermione would poke a few holes in the plate in her hand.

But soon, Harry was no longer worried, because Fish came sprinting over with a piece of grilled fish on his fork.

"Hermione, come and try it, the grilled fish made by Daphne is really delicious meow."

(ΦωΦ)つΨ

Fish directly handed the fork to Hermione's mouth, "Ah~~~"

Hermione gave Daphne a smug look, then opened her mouth to eat the grilled fish off Fish's fork.

Now it was Daphne's turn to poke the plate.

The open and secret fight centered on cats did not affect Professor McGonagall and Mr. Weasley. They happily ate the breakfast prepared by the children, and occasionally chatted with acquaintances passing by.

"Haha!" Mr. Weasley jumped up suddenly, smiled and waved to the distance: "The most important person at the moment! Ludo!"

Everyone was attracted by his voice, and looked in the direction of his beckoning.

I saw a man wearing a Quidditch robe with a wasp pattern printed on his chest, and a man with a big belly was striding towards this side bouncing and bouncing.

"Yahho!" Ludo Bagman shouted happily, and also waved his hand, "Arthur, old man... Oh! And Professor McGonagall, long time no see!"

He responded breathlessly, and as he approached, he saw Professor McGonagall beside Mr. Weasley.

"Hello, Ludo, thank you for your ticket." Professor McGonagall smiled and nodded at him.

"Hahaha, it's nothing."

Bagman grinned and waved his hand.

Because there were too many children present, Mr. Weasley gave up the idea of ​​letting Bagman know all his children, and just pushed Percy in front of him, introducing: "This is my third son Percy, Just started working at the Ministry of Magic and is now working in the Department of International Magical Cooperation."

"Oh, Crouch's department..." Bagman pouted, "It's not easy being his subordinate."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand carelessly and patted Percy on the shoulder: "If you are not happy at Old Batty's, I can find a way to transfer you to my department. It just so happened that we disappeared a few days ago." If you get one, you can go and take her place."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I am very satisfied with my present position."

Percy frowned, and declined Bagman's invitation. Percy was dissatisfied with the way the other party managed the department, his rudeness to his superior, and his casual attitude towards the disappearance of his subordinates.

Only because his father knew him well and helped them get the tickets, Percy didn't show his dissatisfaction.

Bagman, who was rejected, didn't care. He was just saying it casually. In fact, he couldn't affect the personnel transfer of the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

"Want to bet on the match, Arthur?"

Bagman asked eagerly, jingling the pockets of his yellow and black robe.

This is his main purpose of coming here, and this is Ludo Bagman's greatest hobby besides Quidditch. He has suffered a lot because of this hobby, but he still enjoys it.

"Ludo! There are children here!"

However, Bagman ignored that there was Professor McGonagall beside her, she scolded harshly, making Bagman, who was still trying to persuade Mr. Weasley, shut up immediately.

"Minerva, what are they planning to do?"

(ω)

Fish leaned over with bright eyes. Past experience told him that as long as Professor McGonagall forbids it, it is probably something interesting.

"Ah! You are the child of Professor McGonagall, right?" Bagman smiled and leaned in front of Fish, "Hi, I'm Ludo Bagman, and I used to be a student of the professor."

"Yeah, my name is Fish McGonagall," Maomao nodded casually, and continued to ask: "You haven't answered Fish's question yet! What were you talking about just now?"

(ω)
As soon as he mentioned his hobbies, Bagman became excited.

However, he was not excited for long, because Professor McGonagall's knife-like gaze next to him could calm him down quickly.

"Ahahaha...it's really nothing," Bagman laughed dryly, and replied, "I just chatted with Arthur about the games we adults play."

"A grown-up game..."

(°ω°≡°ω°)
Fish tilted his head and looked back and forth between him and Mr. Weasley several times with a strange expression on his face.

"You want to have a baby with Arthur, meow? But you are both men?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Bagman and Mr. Weasley, who was innocently affected, instantly turned green.

"It's not that kind of game!" Bagman yelled anxiously, "I just want to gamble with Arthur and let him guess who will win this final!"

"So it was just a bet... That's meaningless..."

When I was in school, when everyone played cards and chess, they would occasionally bet on something. Of course, they usually wrote bets such as helping to wash socks or playing brains.

Fish thought Bagman was talking about the same thing, so he immediately lost interest.

Bagman then stopped talking about the bet and turned to Mr. Weasley about the missing Bertha Jorkins.

After a while, Percy's boss, Barty Crouch, whom they talked about before, also appeared here. Percy seemed a little excited, and in his words, he seemed to respect Mr. Crouch very much.

It's just a pity that the other party didn't seem to remember Percy's name, and called him "Wetherby".

Percy backed away in embarrassment, and sat aside with some frustration. The twins sat beside him, comforting him in a low voice.

"Did you know?" Ron whispered in Harry's ear, "Every time I see George and Fred getting together with Percy in a friendly way, I have the illusion that I haven't woken up yet."

Harry ignored Ron. He was thinking about how to talk to Qiu Zhang. It would be even better if he could taste the food cooked by him like Fish...

Unlike Fish, he would dislike the taste of Qiu Zhang's food.

However, until the end of breakfast, Harry couldn't find a chance to talk to Cho Chang, because she, like the other girls, had been circling around Fish all the time.

Ginny didn't go up to join in the fun, but unfortunately...

Harry couldn't see the other girls at all right now.

Recommended monthly ticket

　In the original book, Crouch called Percy "Wetherby" which is actually quite unreasonable. He directly called Mr. Weasley as Arthur. Obviously, the relationship between the two is not to mention how close they are, at least they are familiar with each other. , and the Weasley family is still very famous in the pure blood family, after all, they are pure blood traitors.

　　And Percy still has the iconic red hair of the Weasley family. Before, he could say that Crouch didn't know he was Arthur's child, but at that time it was obviously the Weasley family who came to watch the game. It would be ridiculous to be wrong.

　　The description of Crouch in the book is "a man with a straight eye, no hair disheveled, who can speak about 150 languages". It is hard to believe that such a person would make such a mistake.

　　In addition, I just discovered that flying carpets are contraband in England... I also wrote that Professor McGonagall was going to take the Grangers on the flying carpet... But it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of going abroad.

　　It's just that "carpets are defined as Muggle artifacts on the Register of Prohibited Magical Items" and that's why they're banned... don't wizards use carpets?And when describing the Quidditch pitch later, it also mentioned "the stairs are covered with a purple carpet"...

　　Maybe no magic rugs?But compared to carpets, clocks, cars, etc. have a shorter history, right?But there are also magic versions, such as knight buses and the like... Isn't this a violation?
　　It would be more reasonable if the company that was set to be a broomstick interfered with it.

　　Thanks to Mr. Ruya, Seventeen Ranjue, Tianzheng No.[-], Kurorororo, and Shenfeng Wuyu for their rewards.
