Chapter 247: Hermione who keeps strangers away

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe long-awaited day has finally arrived. Today is the opening ceremony of the Quidditch World Cup. In order to get to the stadium as quickly as possible, everyone came to Ron's house a day early. Harry originally thought that walking out of Privet Drive would be no less than a difficult adventure, but something happened during the summer vacation that made him overjoyed. mad.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspFrom Uncle Vernon, Harry learned that Sirius actually wrote a letter to the Dursleys. Harry didn't know what the content was, but he could think of it. , because the Dursleys did not restrict his travel throughout the summer vacation. Sirius definitely left an unforgettable "memory" for the Dursleys in his letter, and Harry was very satisfied with it.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAs Ron’s girlfriend Lavender, naturally she also came. Although Ron said that Lavender was his classmate when introducing him to his parents, based on the words of George and Fred, Ron's statement was redundant. Mrs. Weasley had long known about her youngest son's girlfriend, but Mrs. Weasley liked Lavender very much. This also made Ron relieved.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspIn short, it is definitely a happy thing for everyone to come together to watch the World Cup. Of course, Hermione was an exception. From the time she arrived at the Burrow, except for the necessary greetings, her face had always been sullen, with an expression of not letting strangers in. Harry and Ron naturally knew the reason, and they didn't reveal it in case they got into trouble.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp Before dawn the next day, Harry, Hermione, and Ron went to the Leaky Cauldron. When they learned that Bruce had not returned yet, they handed over their tickets. and address were left on the counter. Hermione's face became even more frighteningly cold

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspWhen they returned to the Burrow, everyone had finished packing. Mr. Weasley, carrying a large backpack, urged: "Where have you three been? "

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Are you going now? We haven't had breakfast yet," Ron said in surprise.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMr. Weasley said: "You can go to the stadium to eat, but I made a bet with Amos that the Irish team will win."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this time, Mrs. Weasley said with a cold face: "Arthur, you actually gamble."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh no no, dear," Mr. Weasley explained hurriedly: "I just bet Amos on two boxes of Cuban cigars. You know him. It's easy to get your hands on these gadgets by visiting Brazil frequently. Oh, kids we should get going."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Awesome" Ron cheered and shouted.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Huh?" Mrs. Weasley asked curiously: "Why didn't Bruce come?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Um"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAs soon as Mrs. Weasley said this, Harry and Ron hurried away from Hermione. Harry quickly said: "Then he will do it later." is coming, yes, so Hermione, you have to believe Bruce, he will definitely not want to miss the opening ceremony of the World Cup."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspOne sentence squeezed out from between Hermione's teeth: "He'd better die outside, hum."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione picked up her backpack and walked out angrily. Mrs. Weasley asked in surprise: "What's wrong with her? Bruce made her angry." "

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, it's hard to explain this. Let's get going."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Okay, then you should be careful on the road. Remember to follow dad closely when you get to the arena. Don't lose Ron. You have to take good care of Lavender. ." Mrs. Weasley ordered impatiently.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Mom, you've told me five times. Please, hurry up" George and Fred shouted outside.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspSo a group of eight people set off, but what surprised everyone was that they neither used the Floo Network nor drove a speeding car, but walked the oldest way. .

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Where are we going?" Harry asked curiously on the way.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon waved his hand and said, "I'm wondering too."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLavender held Ron's arm and asked: "Don't you know Quidditch very well?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon said: "But this is my first time to watch the World Cup live."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe two of them are becoming more and more "open" now, and they dare to be intimate in front of their family members. At this time, Harry hurriedly stepped in beside the two of them and said softly: "Please, you two, don't be so affectionate. There is a bomb next to us."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Harry" Hermione's cold voice came.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Uh-huh" Feeling Hermione's cold eyes, Harry smiled awkwardly: "What, why didn't you see Charlie and Bill?"

Ron's two older brothers, Bill and Charlie, also rushed out to watch the World Cup.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this time, Mr. Weasley, who was walking in front, said: "The two of them have already graduated and can use Apparition, so there is no need to go so early. . They two usually work very hard, let them sleep more."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Then why don't you apparate over there?" Harry asked.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMr. Weasley said with a smile: "I also want to do this, Harry, but there is no other way. I have to lead you there, and I also need a friend with me. Waiting for us, hurry up and follow us.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspUnder the leadership of Mr. Weasley, everyone walked into a forest. In about ten minutes, they saw a man carrying the same person under a big tree. The middle-aged man with a backpack smiled and waved to them.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Hey Arthur, you are too slow" the man laughed.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMr. Weasley waved his hand and said with a smile: "Good morning, old man"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh it's getting late. You're on time as always, man" the man quipped.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMr. Weasley smiled and said, "Sorry, Amos overslept."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThen he introduced to everyone: "Boys, this is Amos Diggory, my colleague from the Ministry of Magic."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Digory" Harry and Hermione said in surprise.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"What's wrong?" Ron asked.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione said: "Digory, is he?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBefore they finished speaking, a figure suddenly fell from the "sky", and a handsome boy jumped down from the tree and looked at them with a smile.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspMr. Weasley smiled and said: "Then this young man who fell from the sky must be Cedric."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspYes, Mr. Weasley’s colleague, Mr. Amos Diggory, is Cedric’s father.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Hello Mr. Weasley. My dad often talks about you." Cedric said with a smile. Then he looked at the people behind him and said with a smile: "You really made it easy for me to wait, President Granger, Harry."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh, you know each other," Mr. Weasley said in surprise.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAmos said with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, Arthur, our children are much better than us, they set up an elf in the school Fu Jin Club, Cedric is the vice president.”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh Merlin's beard, I didn't know about it." Mr. Weasley said in surprise.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAmos smiled and said: "I'll be feeling emotional when we get to the competition field."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Of course, you know, I can't wait to taste the taste of Cuban cigars," Mr. Weasley said with a smile.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Hey Bulgaria will definitely win. Just wait and see," Amos said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Then let's wait and see, but we should get going now." Mr. Weasley said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAfter setting off, Mr. Weasley and Amos continued to discuss the teams they supported in the front, and Cedric was naturally with Hermione and the others. Chatted.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "I didn't expect you to come too, Cedric," Hermione said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspCedric smiled and said: "Oh Hermione, it sounds like you don't want to see me. By the way, why didn't you see Bruce?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspWhen she mentioned this, Hermione's originally smiling face immediately turned cold.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Um, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Cedric felt the change in Hermione and asked.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said hurriedly: "Well, it's okay. By the way, Cedric, what did you do during the summer vacation?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAlthough Cedric didn't know why Bruce didn't show up, he also guessed that this might be the reason why Hermione was angry, so he took advantage of Harry's "step" Said: "Oh, of course it is to increase my strength. I have already planned to participate in the Triwizard Tournament this semester."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Wow?" Harry said in surprise: "But I heard that game is very dangerous."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspCedric said confidently: "Of course, but I am confident that we can win the championship for our school."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said immediately: "Then I will definitely cheer for you."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Thank you. Actually, I originally planned to let Bruce participate. Although he is only in fourth grade, I think he is definitely capable of participating," Cedric said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon immediately responded: "It's impossible, Hermione won't let him participate."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Haha" Hermione sneered and said, "It's better to let him participate, it will save you from looking like a bully all day long."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Uh" Feeling Hermione's tone, Cedric immediately came to Harry and asked quietly: "What did Bruce do to make Hermione So angry”

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry smiled helplessly: "How can I tell you about this? Bruce went to China during the summer vacation and didn't tell us, so Hermione did angry."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Go to China" Cedric said in surprise: "Why is he going to China?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said: "Who knew, he went there without even saying hello, and even borrowed my Firebolt?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Ah" Cedric said in surprise: "He won't go to China on a broomstick?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"I don't know," Harry said.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspCedric said with a smile: "I heard in school that Bruce is obsessed with Chinese culture, but I really didn't expect that he would go to China himself."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Not only did you not expect it, we didn't expect it either." Ron said helplessly: "It's a good thing for this kid to go to China to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and we will suffer here." Hermione's angry"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said hurriedly: "Keep your voice down, you are offending her."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspLavender chuckled and said, "I think Bruce will be in trouble after he comes back this time."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspIn order not to irritate Hermione anymore, everyone quickly brought the topic to Quidditch and talked about the teams they supported. Even though we were walking, everyone didn’t feel bored while walking and chatting. But then Harry and the others realized that something was wrong. They were still walking. The key was that it was already past noon.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Oh my God, where are we going? I'm exhausted," Harry said breathlessly.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione was also very tired and asked: "Who can tell me where we are going?"

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspCedric said: "It's just a walk away, we're going to find the port key."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "What's that port key?" Harry asked.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspCedric explained: "Well, it's a fast track. After all, the World Cup must be held in places with few Muggles. But these places are very remote. , so we set up port keys in various places, through which we can rush directly to the stadium."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "In that case, why not set it up closer." Hermione said dissatisfied.

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspCedric smiled and said: "There are too many people, and it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to take care of everyone. If you hold on for a while, I think we will be there soon."

&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"This is the third time you have said that." To be continued.
