HP's Foreign Land

The practice is still going on, perhaps it is true as what Bernick said, Heimdall has the talent of a batter, or maybe he responded to Duncan's insight, his crooked mind is no less than others, in the next few practice sessions, Heimdall Mudar and the two Bludgers became more and more "intimate". Although the technique is a little immature, the movements are a little stiff, and the focus is not clever, and it can't reach the high-standard strike force, but Victor is indeed Tasted a little bit of bitterness from him, not very obvious, but it did work.

Heimdall was cool, and it was extremely cool!The longer the practice time, the more vigorous his astonishment. While being amazed by Victor Krum's unparalleled superb skills and reaction ability, he also really understood why Quidditch has become popular all over the world and has not changed for many years. decline.

This is a crazy sport that ignores bloodshed and casualties. Despite this, although it runs counter to some things that the wizarding world has always advocated, it cannot stop batches of wizards from joining, fighting for it, and carrying forward.Quidditch can make people excited because of its brutality and madness. For players and fans, it is not Quidditch without casualties.

The two were chasing after each other in the sky, and the other two school team members on the ground felt itchy, coupled with the cheers, screams and applause from the head of a certain cheerleading group, it made them restless. Just wanted to jump into the sky.Finally, after another round of 10 minutes passed, Duncan and Bernick yelled, "Swap me!"

The two looked at each other in silence at the same time, they both saw the inevitable provocation in each other's eyes, they turned around abruptly, and once again said in unison: "Don't listen to him!"

Before the words fell to the ground, the two of them paused for a while, and agreed for the third time: "Listen to me!"

"I'm talking about Duncan," Bernick said earnestly, "what's the fun with you as a goalkeeper?"

Duncan was not to be outdone: "I am indeed the goalkeeper during the game, but I also practice other positions. Don't just talk about me, the Quaffle doesn't even need to practice speed games, what are you talking about as a pursuer?!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Edmund intervened and suggested authoritatively, "It's fine if you both go up at the same time." The two were dumbfounded when they heard this, and Edmund continued, "Playing together as the two batsmen for Lithuania also gave Rigg a taste of what it's like to have a rival batsman around."

Neither of them spoke, and they nodded in satisfaction, once again in agreement by coincidence.

***

Heimdall didn't think it was a good idea, he had just regained a micron of confidence from one defeat after another, and these two were so eager to hit him?Hurt him hard?

Ignoring a certain boy's stare, Duncan and Bernick calmly flew into the air on a broom and flew right in front of his eyes.

"From now on we will be your opponents." Bernick announced with a smile.

Mr. Orville, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, said quickly: "Don't worry, just do as usual."

as usual?Heimdall was dumbfounded.He once saw Duncan wave his right hand casually in an intramural practice match, and knocked a 91-pound (approximately equal to [-] kilograms) sixth-grader off the broom.It is said that after the match, the brother lay in the medical room for nearly a month before fully recovering.

To be honest, with his current body, let alone a stick, he could probably be strangled to death with just a pinch of his fingers.

Bernick is not a person who likes to procrastinate, and excitedly said: "Let's start." He and Duncan looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then swiped the ground and slid to the left and right.

The game between the batter and the batter is definitely more interesting than the game between the batter and the seeker. The seeker has no resistance on the field, except for routine dodging, the rest The goal is to catch the Golden Snitch.In a Quidditch team of seven, the most aggressive is the batsman.

With the cooperation of Duncan and Bernick, the two Bludgers shuttled up and down in the air. Heimdall frequently swung his bat and failed, sighing at the ocean. Then he lost his power as a hitter, just like a basketball player can't get the basketball during the game.

They are obviously not real hitters, a goalkeeper, a chaser, and every move is quite human.Heimdall was "molested" so that his anger rose and he slandered again and again. After 10 minutes passed, a certain boy figured it out. These two people were here to amuse him. At this moment, he missed the persuasive "Kung Fu Master" very much.

He quickly turned the "head of the car" and rushed to the sidelines: "I ask for a substitution!"

Duncan and Bernick are not going to do it. They have just played, and they will have to play seven or eight games before making a decision.

"Victor..." Heimdall looked at the "Martial Master" with downcast eyes, the expectation in his eyes was obvious, and the earnestness in his words was obvious.

"Hey hey hey," Cheng Yaojin named Duncan appeared next to Heimdall at the first time, stopped Victor's next move with his eyes, stretched out his fingers and hooked him, and was surrounded by him with a broom Ti slipped away. "Leave us alone. We're having a good time, aren't we, dear Rig."

Heimdall's protest was ineffective, and he desperately looked back at the Seeker on the sidelines who might be able to save him from the misery. Unfortunately, he had no time to take care of him at this time, but was distracted by other people.When Duncan dragged him back to Bernick, he found that this one was also paying attention to the audience who suddenly appeared.

"Am I not mistaken? That's Hassan Mustafa?" Bernick's expression was full of confusion.

"Yes, that's him." Heimdall answered in the affirmative.

Bernick was even more confused, and asked with thick eyebrows, "Why is he here? Isn't the Broomstick Grand Prix being competed?"

"But in fact, Chairman Mustafa is here. He seems to be a mobile referee, and he can be seen in any game."

Duncan suddenly made a strange face: "The broomstick grand prix is ​​over."

Bernick declined to comment, but his expression was approving.

Yeah?Heimdall didn't know why they were so arbitrary. In fact, the International Underage Wizarding Grand Prix was in full swing, and the opening ceremony was almost as hot as the finals of the last Quidditch World Cup.

Heimdall looked towards the sidelines and found that Mr. Chairman was talking to Victor with a serious expression. Victor never changed his face and said nothing, but Edmund seemed to have heard some terrible news Generally tongue-tied.

"Chairman Mustafa knows Victor?" The question blurted out, and Heimdall immediately realized that it was redundant. With Victor's increasingly famous reputation, how could the highest leader of the Quidditch movement not know him.

"I know." Bernick said, "In fact, Mr. Mustafa approached Victor when he was in the second grade, hoping to train him himself."

"Really?" Duncan was surprised when he heard that. He was not very familiar with them in the second grade, and he gradually became familiar with them until they were assigned to a dormitory in the third grade.

"Why did Victor refuse such a good opportunity?" Heimdall asked quickly.That was the chairman of the International Quidditch Federation, not just any cat or dog.

Bernick glanced at him, his expression did not reveal the surprise in his heart: "How do you know he refused?"

"Obviously isn't it?!" Heimdall shrugged.

Duncan suddenly whispered, "Look at Edmund, why does it feel like he's about to cry?"

Heimdall and Bernick immediately looked over there, and as expected, the cheerleaders opened their mouths with an unbelievable expression on the verge of weeping.

Did Mr. Chairman say something to Victor?Heimdall thought suspiciously.

Bernick didn't show much surprise as if he had expected it a long time ago. He sighed, "Edmund always thought that Victor would be recruited by the best Quidditch team in the world after graduation. Confidently told me that as long as Victor is around, his VK team will continue."

Heimdall was puzzled, "Isn't that the case?"

Bernick shook his head helplessly: "In fact, Victor never thought of playing professional games."

Shock!Incomparably shocked!Not only Heimdall, but even Duncan was shocked by the news.

"Wait," Duncan frowned immediately, and asked with a strange expression, "Does that mean Victor doesn't plan to join the Quidditch League in the future and become a professional Quidditch player?"

Heimdall said hesitantly: "And he already thought so when he was in the second grade? Could this be the reason why he rejected Mustafa?"

"That's right." Bernick said: "But that Mr. Chairman is not a person who gives up lightly. He has not given up on his lobbying plan for several years. Every time he sees Victor, he always talks about it. However, as we graduate As the age approaches, he also seems to realize that eventually he will have to give up Victor."

"But why?" Duncan yelled, "He has such good innate conditions, why doesn't he enter the professional league? Do you know how many fans in the wizarding world are looking forward to the day their idol joins the league? I dare not Imagine what would happen if these people knew Victor wasn't going to play professionally."

Heimdall shook his head: "Just look at Edmund to see what will happen next."

Duncan was still puzzled: "Tell me, Bernick, what is Victor thinking." As a friend of the two Mr. Krum, Duncan believes that he has due responsibilities in certain matters.

Bernick raised an eyebrow. "It doesn't matter what Victor thinks. In our family, it matters what our grandmother thinks."

"Oh, it's that queer granny who hates Quidditch again!" Duncan groaned, as if he had suffered from this before.

"Don't say that about my grandmother."

"I'm sorry." It's a pity that his apology was not sincere, and Duncan snorted, "It's her own business that lady hates Quidditch. Could it be a personal preference, and she wants to force her grandson to stay away from Quidditch? ?!"

"This is only one aspect." Bernick showed a troubled expression. "Victor is the eldest grandson, and my grandmother believes that as the eldest grandson, it is my duty to inherit the family business. In addition, her grandfather passed away earlier due to an accident, so she placed a high expectation on Victor that others could not understand. From Victor He has been very demanding since he was a child, and the discipline is quite strict."

Duncan swallowed a sigh, curled his lips disapprovingly, it seemed that he didn't have a good impression of the old lady.

Heimdall was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then hesitantly asked for a long time, "You said Victor would inherit the family business, what does your family do?"

Bernick blinked in surprise: "You don't know?"

Heimdall shook his head guiltily.Counting it, the Krum family and his family are relatives, and they have been together for so long, how many people are there in the relative's family, and he doesn't know what the family does... He pays too little attention to the three senior brothers.

Duncan couldn't wait to break the news: "Their family is farming."

Bernick glanced at him, and then said along with the words: "Our family has been growing potion raw materials since our ancestors, and now we are not only growing but also selling them."

"The raw materials for potions in the Balkans are all monopolized by their family." Duncan added: "Their family also does business with Muggles, and it's pretty big. You know the Bulgarian Rose Festival? Their family is dedicated to the roses that need to be used that day Flowers, and the raw materials for perfumes that Muggles like to use are also available at their home..."

After listening to a lot of things, Heimdall understood that the Krum family was a big landowner.
