Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 72 The accident at the Golden Snitch Cup

After reading the news, Winters began to pay attention to people in his neighborhood, newspapers delivered by the postman, and news on television, but to his great frustration, he failed to find any valuable information from these places.

Time passed day by day, and Lydia had already finished all his homework.And Winters also completely gave up on the "vast" project of collecting information.

"You have been reading the newspaper almost every day these days. You were not like this before." Aurora asked puzzledly.

"An Auror died, I suspect it was the prison escapees." Winters felt uncomfortable when he thought of that Auror, and he didn't know why.

"Aurors are in a very stressful working environment every day, and accidents are normal." Aurora looked at the 5 cm square content again and shook her head.

"Sigh... read more happy news. There are too many joys and sorrows every day at this time." Winters stuffed the newspaper into the drawer in the living room.

One morning a few days later, a loud noise woke Winters up.

"Spect, I really want to say...it's so damned. Quidditch tickets are harder to buy than football tickets. I went to queue at 8 o'clock yesterday, and then I was told at 3 o'clock in the morning that every ticket was gone."

"Corian, that's Quidditch, not football. When have you ever seen a football forward run at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour? Besides, this Quidditch game will be broadcast live, so just watch it at home."

"Will the Landis Tavern also broadcast it?"

"I know the boss very well. He made it clear that he would broadcast it, but he only had one request: Don't throw the bottle at the TV he paid for out of excitement."

Then the two men walked away and their words could not be heard clearly.

The front page of the newspaper sent back in the morning read in large characters:

Quidditch's biggest event: the Golden Snitch Cup will officially open in Bozna at 8:6 pm on August 8.

"Don't look at me like that, honey. My answer is no." Mary looked at Jack seriously.

"Can't you do it just once?" Jack begged.

"You are tired from working every day, but you still have to watch 4 hours of football every night? How can you work tomorrow? If something unexpected happens, what do you want me to do?"

"I'm self-aware, and I won't look at it so late," Jack said sincerely.

"No, just can't. You are an engineer and a senior technician, and you have to be responsible for your work. And it's the same at home." Mary's last words ignited Jack's hope.Then Mary added:

"Low-alcohol brandy, whiskey, cider. Okay, I've noticed your little tricks. They're all in the refrigerator," Mary said with a smile.

"What? Have you prepared it a long time ago?" Lydia finally understood why her mother bought so many bottled drinks a few days ago.

"Of course, I was the first to know when the Quidditch World Cup was held, even earlier than your father," Mary said with a mysterious smile.Then Jack got so excited that he kissed Mary on the cheek in front of his three children.

"What... I forgot to do my homework." Winters ran towards the kitchen in a panic, and then he was dragged back by Lydia.

They all used all their strength not to laugh.When they reached the attic room on the second floor, they finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"They seem to have always been 25 years old. They got married at 25, right?" Winters finally stopped laughing. He laughed so much that his stomach hurt.

"Mom is 2 months older than dad. Dad was not 25 years old when they got married," Lidya gasped.

"To be honest, I really hope that we will be like them when we reach this age." Aurora suddenly became melancholy for some reason.

"I think we will, come to think of it, someone who faces the Lord of Souls," Winters said, only half-joking.

"Ha, the two are not directly related. You may be admired by people, but it is not so easy to find someone who has the same heart and soul as you. And just because you may be admired, find someone who has the same heart and soul as you. On the contrary, it will be more difficult for people." Lydia can always be lazy to the other side of things.

"Heart to heart... Why do I think about this? It's too early. Putting a book into my brain is my first priority." Winters said, turning his eyes to the bookcase standing next to the door. .

"When you put a book into your brain, don't forget that those books are written by people. When you read, you are talking to the author, and you also read to communicate better with others." Liddy Ya spoke like a philosopher.

"Oops... I know, you won't be able to become a mathematician in the future, but becoming a philosopher should be more than enough." Winters read for a long time, not knowing which book he should read.

Finally, Lydia chose a book of "Algebra" for Winters to read.Then the Lord of Souls disappeared from Winters' dream, replaced by various graphs and mathematical symbols.

As temperatures spiral downward, interest in the Snitch Cup skyrockets.The news on TV shows the preparations for this Quidditch World Cup every day.Various newspapers also began to bombard the news in turn.

On August 8, at 6:8 pm, Eisen and his family sat in front of the TV on time. Compared with a year ago, the definition was much improved.

First came the entrance ceremony. Winters found that he didn’t recognize anyone except the Jörmungandr Pythons. The reason was that the logo of the Jörmungandr Pythons was too conspicuous.

Moreover, when the Jörmungandr Pythons came on the field, a golden snake composed of countless fireworks circled around the field.It’s hard not to remember.

As the camera rolled, Winters saw Harry and Ron's family on TV.

"They were able to grab the tickets." Lydia was a little jealous.

"Ron's father works in the Ministry of Magic, which is considered an employee benefit," Mary said lightly.

After the commentator introduced the glorious history of each Quidditch team, he announced the rules of the game, and he emphasized the prohibition of using Felixir.

That night was the match between Richard Cannons and Jormungandr Pythons.Winters and his two sisters thought that Mary would not let them watch it, but to their surprise, Mary not only let them watch it, but also asked them to remember the final score.

"Jack, it's time for you to go to sleep. Your children will tell you who wins and who loses."

Time passed peacefully like this, and what broke the calm was the semifinals.

At that time, Winters, Aurora, and Lydia were watching the confrontation between Richard's Cannon and its mortal enemy, the Ice Hunters.

Just as the commentator roared: The ice hunter team's seeker Krum and the Richard Cannon team's seeker Chuckler are only half a body apart. I believe that the Jörmungandr Pythons will definitely not. I am willing to fight against the Richard Artillery Team again, because——

For some unknown reason, the auditorium suddenly fell into huge chaos.

While Winters, Aurora, and Lydia were watching the TV with confused faces, a spectator who was too frightened to speak ran to the camera, and then the broadcast staff followed the footsteps of the spectator who was too frightened to speak. With his finger, he turned the camera to the southwest of the arena.

Then Winters, Aurora, and Lydia saw something representing a dark, crazy, and desperate era appear in the sky. This thing they had only seen in history books before.

The Dark Mark, which had been missing for 13 years, reappeared.It appeared in the Golden Snitch Cup with a breathtaking green light.In the green light that represented disaster, a snake stretched out from a skull, and had a big mouth toward the people below who were screaming. Then Winters, Aurora, and Lily Diadu heard a roar that they would never forget.
