HP's Foreign Land

one,

When the eyes of the wizards were locked on the Quidditch World Cup due to the overwhelming reports, a small group of French wizarding newspapers headed by the "Mercury" began to find another way. The sports page did not change the fashionable Quidditch topic, but no longer revolved around The World Cup hopes to get a share of the four-year soup, but turned to the Quidditch club.The French wizards have calmly faced the fact that they were once again rejected by the goddess of luck. After the Bulgarian team unexpectedly failed to qualify, the French side developed a subtle intimacy with the previous world champions - sharing adversity can bring each other closer than sharing wealth relation.

The French didn't quite buy it before.

The "Mercury News", which has figured out the emotions of the masses, launched the "Brothers" special of the French team and the Bulgarian team at the right time. Through the comparison of past and present lives, the same transition from low to high, the same ups and downs from prosperity and decline, ups and downs With ill-fated fate, the French wizard discovered how similar Bulgaria was to the original France.The psychology of the wizards is easy to figure out, France has already withdrawn from the World Cup championship, so it has nothing to do with them who wins the cup.

The "Mercury News" fought a beautiful campaign, with gratifying sales for several consecutive issues.The editor-in-chief intends to make persistent efforts, and the good situation cannot be wasted. The problem is that follow-up reports are unsustainable, and it is easy to get tired of constantly frying cold rice.

At this time, Carlo came to the editor-in-chief with an unexpected exclusive promise.

"Ice Ridge Krona? Tyrant Kenny?" The editor-in-chief was overjoyed, and the bald, moon-headed middle-aged uncle held the fat man's hand and shook it vigorously with tears in his eyes.

Iceridge Krona, from the northernmost tip of Iceland, took advantage of the French team's defeat and officially landed in the Western European world full of wealthy families. When Kenny took over Iceridge Krona, it was not that he hadn't thought about asking Carlo to help build momentum, but the timing was wrong. It must be a blockbuster if it is not announced, otherwise it will be a mess, and the important thing is that it will cause trouble for Carlo.

Now Ice Ridge Krona has become a well-known club in Northern Europe under the leadership of local tycoon Kenny's Gallon. It's not because of the team's achievements that they can't get on the stage.

The term "long history" is not an exaggeration for Ice Ridge Krona, but digging deeper is nothing but mud.The editor-in-chief and Carlo understood this truth, so they didn't work hard on excessive packaging. At Carlo's suggestion, the editor-in-chief agreed to Fat Brother's plan and focused on the opening game of Ice Ridge Krona's home arena, which was a matter of course Borrowed the German giants Basteto Vulcan team to decorate the facade.

Now that we are talking about the Vulcan team, it is better not to talk about the ins and outs of others. The current main force of the Vulcan team, Victor Krum, naturally wants to write a special book.As soon as Master Krum came out, the topic became colorful and imaginative. "The Mercury" is worthy of being a publication of the land of gossip, and has inherited various "excellent" traditions. The only scandals about the master are reporters who he can't think of without the land of gossip. Can't collect.

When the non-job journalists happily finished the content of "What I have to say about Victor Krum", they were shocked to find that there was not enough room...

Carlo, who participated in the compilation, was in a cold sweat. It turned out that the master's gossip was so hot, and he was ignorant when he was in school.The editor-in-chief patted the table and asked them to delete it, leaving the main content.But each wizard felt that what he was responsible for was the main content, and the contention was futile. The editor-in-chief became more and more anxious, and finally deleted everything everyone was responsible for, so no one could take advantage of the loopholes.

Carlo agrees very much, because if you don’t delete the content of Ice Ridge Krona, there will be no place to put it. Whether it will affect the sales is another question. The fat brother who received the military order from his friend still expects the local tyrant gold to give him an exclusive, so he must not be offended.

All in all, all in all, after the prototype of this issue of "Mercury News" came out, Carlo and his colleagues were in a trance. , so gorgeous, so gorgeous and so dizzying, everyone was shocked by the imposing manner of "the local tyrant waved me forward" on the page, and it was unexpected that even if it became a "dead thing" in the newspaper, it would not be able to stop the local tyrant's golden glow.

As the only publication that does not report on the World Cup, "Mercury News" has a certain share in the current market, and many wizards who pursue individuality and despise the mainstream believe that they are "unique".

The Quidditch club in northern Iceland entered the French wizarding family brilliantly that day. Naturally, they couldn't compare with their comrades-in-arms Vulcan team who were published together in the newspaper, at least they gained exposure.Western Europe controls the weathervane of Quidditch throughout Europe.A knowledgeable but uninformed wizard mutters about the good luck of Ice Ridge Crown. France is one of the few Quidditch countries in the wizarding world in Western Europe that is comparable to the United Kingdom. There is no shortage of teams, talents, and gossip here. .

Apart from other things, the "freshness" alone, the unconventional local tycoon Kenny definitely satisfies the French wizard's desire for "thick and long". Is there any club owner who is more unscrupulous than the local tyrant Jin?

Tremble, France!

two,

On weekends, Fat Brother worked overtime in the unit, silently praying for a higher sales volume, while Heimdall was at home coaxing the children.

Milkman has recently become obsessed with shaved ice, and Heimdall allows him to eat a small bowl every day.The husband and wife have tried every means to ask a famous therapist to check the baby's body since the baby was "born", and they both came to the conclusion that the baby was alive and kicking.

Mionir is a half-blood wizard, and the part of Lusalka in his body makes him stronger than ordinary wizard children, because the advantage of "congenital deficiency" is not obvious, and the attention of the husband and wife makes the baby's physique better day by day. It’s okay to eat a big bowl of shaved ice, but the couple dare not be careless.

The reason why Naiwa was crying was because his small bowl of shaved ice was stolen by Si Xiang's bad friend.

Mionier sniffed, and when he caught sight of the small wooden bowl with a shallow pool of water left, he couldn't help feeling sad, and opened his mouth to cry again.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Dad asked Xi Na to bring another bowl of Xiaomi." Heimdall wanted to laugh, but he was afraid of stimulating his son's glassy heart.

Mionier pursed his mouth, and slowly stopped crying, his red eyes looked very pitiful.

Heimdall picked up his son and walked into the kitchen, and let Mionier see the medium-sized wooden bowl, which was bigger than the small wooden bowl, and let the son choose the flavor himself. Hina conjured up a new shaved ice in an instant, and the milkman served it When I came to the living room with the medium-sized wooden bowl, I had already forgotten the small wooden bowl on the table in the courtyard.

Dr. Blueleg, who was a guest at the Knights House, drank hot tea and ate cakes. Leon didn't like iced drinks. His eating style ran counter to his compatriots in South American countries, but he shared a common language with Nordic wizards who lived in severe cold.Heimdall once complained that he was born in the wrong place, and was despised by Leon for making a fuss and being ignorant.

Leon has been working in Ice Ridge Krona for nearly a week, and he doesn't take the initiative to make friends with colleagues, and acts alone like a lone star.

Seeing his son eating shaved ice quietly, Heimdall turned to Leon and said, "Maybe you should take the initiative."

Who in this world can't live without?You can't always expect others to take the initiative.

"Why?" Leon said slowly.

"Knowing a few more people and expanding your social circle will be good for you in the future."

"I'm the team doctor. It's unlucky to hang out with the team doctor all day long."

Unexpectedly, he has such "self-knowledge". Compared with him, the domineering Master Malfoy has become a pure and innocent boy.Speaking of Draco, it seems that only Draco, who works in the transfer department, has a little interaction with Leon, and occasionally have a meal together, and everyone else is a cloud in the sky.

"I don't need to know the names of those people, I just need to remember their bodies." Leon said firmly.

...Why are these words so ambiguous?

"It's never a bad thing to make more friends."

"Didn't I have you?"

Heimdall was speechless, forget it, since Leon said that, he couldn't live for Leon.

Regardless of the fact that they have only been together for less than a week, Dr. Bruelag has already had a small influence among the team members.The reason is that it is impossible for a Quidditch team to be consistent in terms of mental and physical qualities. Some people cherish the time and want to get ahead as soon as possible, and some people just let it go and get lazy when it comes to training. It's no exception, and they haven't played an official game for a long time, and the team's hearts are inevitably fluctuating.

Heimdall looked at it calmly. The head coach talked to him about this issue, and the reply he got was to wait for it.

Then one day, those unlucky people who had opened their minds ran into the hands of Dr. Bruelage. The so-called three fires for a new official to take office, of course the team doctor does not need to show off, but he will not be vague when he falls into the trap.

With the "help" of the team doctor, several players who took the lead in slacking were sent to the hospital dying. When the directors of the board of directors severely questioned why they persecuted the players, Dr. Bruelig took out the signed documents signed by the unlucky guys. Disclaimer.

"They wanted to get sick, and I made them get their wish." Dr. Bruelag said innocently.

The Bruelag family wanted a wizard to be sick, and the method was new and unheard of. For example, those unlucky ones, the therapists at the wizarding hospital couldn't find the reason for the unlucky ones to die. The symptoms were obviously and ordinary headaches almost hot

The unlucky ones finally recovered and stopped opportunistic ideas. The taste of man-made illness is something they will never forget.After this incident, Dr. Bruelag has a high reputation among the players, and everyone has raised their awareness on the field. The injury probability of Ice Ridge Krona players will even be lower than the European average one day in the future.Everyone is afraid to seek treatment from the team doctor—although the team doctor's skills are quite superb, they can only continue to improve their professional capabilities.

"Come to the club with me tomorrow?" Heimdall asked.

"I don't want to go, but the coach hinted that I must be there," Leon was not very interested. "Then why is the broom of the Northern Comet so insecure?" It is really hard to think about the fact that the team doctor must be present.

"The head coach probably meant to be fully prepared for the fight, and there is a therapist on the scene to be sure." Heimdall laughed.

Tomorrow is the day when Northern Comet will show the new broom to Ice Ridge Crown. Coincidentally, Klaus Studio chooses to release the new broom on the same day. The two people collide together, and the result can be imagined.

"You give me a salary and I'll treat your team members. Is it beneficial for me to treat those two companies?" Heimdall probably got it wrong, and it may have exposed the inner nature of a businessman. , I didn't have such a bad reputation in school before.

"Then are you going tomorrow or not?" Heimdall said.

"Go," Leon figured out something. "It's time to ask them to collect money."

Heimdall turned to look after the child.

Leon took out his handkerchief after eating his snacks, "There are too few players on the Ice Ridge Krona team. It's not challenging to face those faces all day long. You don't even have a substitute player. In case something happens on the field, What do you do?"

"I've been thinking about this issue," Heimdall said again, "It's us, not you."

The team members are so easy to find. Ice Ridge Krona's main force has just reached full strength, and there is no guarantee of performance. Talking about a substitute now is whimsical.Sometimes no amount of money can solve all the problems, and the local tyrant Jin said that there is nothing he can do about it.

"Just get used to it." Leon didn't take it seriously.

Heimdall didn't bother with him, "I've always had an idea..."

three,

Early the next morning, the husband and wife entrusted the child to Plov and Anna who had booked a family relationship for the weekend, and then drove straight to Durmstrang in a car.

"There are two broomstick demonstrations in the club this afternoon, do you want to join in the fun?" Heimdall sat in the passenger seat.

Victor steered the steering wheel in a serious manner, and the car automatically positioned and flew under the influence of the spell. There was nothing wrong with the driver, the master was just putting on a show.

Victor smiled, "Is it appropriate for me to go?"

"Actually I'd love to hear your opinion, whether it's broomsticks or team building."

"Shall I change my outfit?" Victor mused.

"No, you are who you are, don't pretend to be someone else." Heimdall insisted.

"You can pretend to be someone else, but I can't?" Victor deliberately contradicted him.

Heimdall said arrogantly: "Is there any other rich Kenny in the world?"

Victor laughed, "As long as you're not afraid of causing trouble to the local tycoon Kenny, I don't care."

"I think it's you who is in trouble. The local tyrant Kenny is a controversial person. You are different... In this way, you should not go." Heimdall realized that his idea was too reckless.

"It's okay," Victor leaned over and kissed. "Victor Klum is not such a vulnerable man."

"Aren't you afraid of being smeared? Let me think about it. Tomorrow's newspaper will show 'Krum's court against Qin Muchu, Vulcan's trump card will finally win 2000 million'."

Victor curled his lips, "I think it might be 'Krum was overwhelmed by the loss, and Ice Ridge Krona took advantage of it'."

The two talked and laughed, and the car flew into the Durmstrang Mountains.

four,

They have already graduated, so it is not easy to drive straight in, and they will be thrown out by the school's strict protection magic.

They parked the car in the open space behind Mrs. Pepper's shop, and learned from Mrs. Pepper that Little Pepper went to school every day to improve his Quidditch skills.Coach August has made a summer training plan for the girls, and even intends to look for other training opportunities outside.

"No wonder Palme's letters to me are full of lingering depression." Heimdall joked after leaving the shop.

The boyfriend valued Quidditch more than himself, and Palme's depression can be imagined.

Victor hesitated, "Didn't Palme suggest staying with the trainees during the summer vacation?" The master and August also had contact from time to time.

The husband and wife looked at each other.

Heimdall waved his hand, "Don't care about them, maybe this is a little interest between them, we don't get involved."

Victor pulled Heimdall closer to him as a gust of wind hit, and snowflakes swirled around the two of them, who gritted their teeth in the brutal heat.

"I almost forgot how unkind the climate here is," Heimdall muttered.

"Where is your appointment with Professor Katenen?" Victor put his arms around his shoulders.

Heimdall raised his head, spraying hot air on Victor's cheeks, "A newly opened hot drink shop."

The newly opened hot drink shop has no store name, and the erected signboard depicts a piece of burning chocolate. The chocolate surrounded by raging flames drips chocolate syrup vividly, and the syrup drips into the air and disappears. The effect of loose syrup is restored in a blink of an eye.

Professor Katenin was wearing a gray plaid cloak and stood under the signboard, waving to the two.

After the exchange of greetings, Katenen said to Victor: "The Bulgarian team cost us a lot of money."

"I'm sorry." Victor apologized sincerely.

Katenin helplessly spread his hands, what can happen now.

"Let's change to Wales," Heimdall actively suggested, and he still wanted to make a comeback. "The chairman of the Kenmare Kestrel bet a large amount of money. Many club owners and chairmen in the industry have made bets driven by him. If you are unlucky, everyone will be unlucky. Then you will find that you are not alone. It will be good. a lot of."

If the Welsh team even cheated their own wizards, wizards from other countries would be psychologically balanced.

Katenin laughed loudly, and the three of them walked into the store and sat down in a bright place near the window.

"The thing that surprised me the most was you, local tyrant Kenny, who would have thought of that?" Katenen expressed his surprise moderately.

An old guy like him doesn't make too much fuss anymore, at least his superficial skills are at their peak.

"It's really unexpected." The master who was tricked thought he had a good say on this point.

Heimdal snorted, "Don't be joking, I don't believe you don't know, there are more than one Durmstrang 'spy' in our family."

The "spy" Heimdall refers to is a portrait badge of a certain headmaster, and portraits of a certain former headmaster and a certain ancestor.It is worth mentioning that the master seems to be very disgusted with Heimdall staying in the room where the portraits of the two are hung for a long time, and the little papa is a little bit dumbfounded at his jealous behavior, and also slightly agrees with him.If the big daddy's gaze stays on a certain ancestor for a long time, the little daddy can't help but eat it too.It seemed unreasonable, and a bit unreasonable, but the two later kept going in and out together when facing the double portrait, tacitly knowing each other.

Katenen said calmly: "They didn't reveal anything."

Heimdall apologized for his excessive brain supplementation.

Katenen stopped talking nonsense, "I have already told Headmaster Karkarov about your proposal, and the headmaster is very interested, but it's hard to say how to implement it."

"I understand that this matter cannot be accomplished overnight. Perhaps it is my wishful thinking to list Durmstrang as a candidate player base, but I still want to implore the school to give me a chance. I will show absolute sincerity." Heimdall said in a low voice. guaranteed.

The choice of Durmstrang College as the "Youth Training Camp" of Ice Ridge Krona is the result of Heimdall after a period of thinking. The German school team bid farewell to the golden generation. The capital on Quidditch still makes it difficult for other magic schools in Europe to catch up.

The British Quidditch team often goes to Hogwarts to find suitable seedlings. Over the years, it has trained many famous Quidditch players. Durmstrang is no better than Hogwarts in terms of the emphasis and training of Quidditch. Poor, as a witness of the former golden generation dominating the martial arts, Heimdall is full of confidence in his alma mater.

"You seem to be in a hurry. I remember that Ice Ridge Krona is full." Katenin said gently.

Victor Heimdall replied, "Ice Ridge Krona needs to expand its substitute lineup. To tell you the truth, there is not a single substitute." The pressure on the players is huge, and sometimes the substitute can determine the final direction of the game.

"How many substitutes does Ice Ridge Krona need?" Katenen asked.

"Do you have any recommendations?" Heimdall's eyes lit up.

"Coach Palme is at the school now, he understands more thoroughly than me, and his suggestions are more professional." Katenen said. "By the way, August is also here. The girls on the backup school team are still young, but they have great potential."

The power of female Quidditch players should not be underestimated.
