Chapter 134 Camp (Catching Insects)
"So I'm glad I chose Ilvermorny in the end." Harry whispered to Jennifer.
She smiled again at a staring, hesitating camp Ministry of Magic official in a Scottish kilt and an Egyptian cloak—was this a No-Maj disguise in the eyes of British wizards?
The other party's finger was about to poke her face. He moved between her hair and forehead with surprised eyes, and then looked down at the registration list in his hand, showing a suspicious expression of life.
It turns out that dyed hair has this hidden benefit, at least according to the history books, British wizards still think she has black hair - as long as it doesn't match the list, no one will suspect her at first sight.
As a girl, she can wear her bangs more freely. At present, there is no impolite European wizard who insists on seeing her scars-of course, what Harley doesn’t know is that even if these wizards want to make this request, they will be blocked. Several tall teammates behind her threatened to silence with their eyes.
However, Harley suspects that these disguises will soon be lost—because as soon as the game starts, when the players fly into the field one by one, the commentator will definitely shout her name...
Hmm... Shall I dye my black hair back now?
Forget it, it doesn't make sense, her face will be on the big screen at the stadium anyway.
Speaking of the stadium, Professor Smith, who led the team, introduced to the team members on the plane that the British Ministry of Magic built a brand new huge stadium specially for this World Cup—it took 500 Ministry of Magic officials to build it in a year, and it can accommodate One hundred thousand viewers.Every inch of the ground was cast with the No-Maj Repelling Charm.Whenever a bored No-Maj wanted to get closer to the stadium, they would suddenly think of something urgent and rush away.
The No-Maj companions registered by the little wizards will be cast with anti-No-Maj expulsion spells by the officials at the entrance in turn-for the sake of confidentiality, these trivial tasks must be done.
Professor Smith may not be so receptive to new things because of his age—he has been swearing that there is no difference between "flying" on an airplane and "flying" on a broom.However, after the plane was running smoothly, he inadvertently glanced out the window, and saw the white clouds and the city that had turned into a smaller city at an altitude of [-] meters. Professor Smith's legs immediately began to tremble.
In order to preserve his image, after that glance, Professor Smith never said a word during the entire trip, probably only trying to force himself to remain calm.This made the players who had been bombarded by his court strategy for many days breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally getting rid of all the officials of the British Ministry of Magic who have been entangled after hearing Harley's name, the entire Ilvermorny school team has lingering fears.
Harry and the others slowly found Ilvermorny's camp with heavy steps.
She, Jennifer and others got into a seemingly ordinary small tent, but they couldn't help exclaiming after opening the door curtain—it didn't match the size seen from the outside of the tent at all. The door curtain was a spacious and bright room, Seven four-poster beds are lined up in sequence, which is the number of all starting and substitute female players.
There are wardrobes and desks opposite the four-poster bed, and the plush carpet and sofa also have a warm home atmosphere.It was like being back in the girls' dorms at Ilvermorny.
The color tone of the whole room has been changed to the national team's blue, white and red tricolor.
This is the wonder of magic——Harry realized more and more that she didn't know enough about the wizarding world.
She found the four-poster bed with her own name on it, spread it out on the mattress in large characters, and sighed deeply—at last she had some relative private space, and she was really not used to the feeling that she would become a celebrity one day .
Almost on par with Uncle Bruce walking the streets of Gotham.And that's when most British wizards don't recognize her face.
But this is not the same as the feeling of "celebrity superstar". After all, most people will only find "celebrity superstar" to sign, and will not be grateful for "celebrity superstar". An old wizard who just passed by heard her name , directly rushed over to shake hands with her, thanking her for her "contribution".
She's just a normal little girl who doesn't remember her "feat" when she was a year old - and it's all thanks to her mother, Tom's buried guy said.
She was thinking that if she had been growing up in England, these people might not be so shocked to see her now, right?They will understand that there is nothing special about themselves and lose interest in her.
Halle rolled over on the bed - Harley and the team were in Dartmoor a few days before the game date due to the school team's training arrangements.And Damian and Joe won't come until the day before the official game.
Damian should be able to fly a plane - she turned over again, buried her face in the fluffy pillow - well, she missed him a little bit.
Teenagers should not be prevented from writing letters.
At this time, the voices of boys came from outside the tent, calling them to come out.
"Huh—what's the matter?" Harry rubbed his eyes, and was the first to lift the curtain, "Has the training camp started yet? I thought Coach Smith was still throwing up...I wondered if I could take this opportunity to sleep."
"No, it's time for us to eat, the deputy manager of the national team is in charge!" Goalkeeper Paul Jefferson explained to the girls.
The U.S. national team is still scrambling for the last time to train and study strategies. They only sent two deputy managers to look after the youth school team. They are worried that crazy fans will curse the opponent players before the game. The rest area of the national team is even kept secret.
Paul continued to say happily, "We just need to fetch water ourselves. The boys and I have fetched enough water with the Levitation Charm—oh yes, the manager also said that it's not the final round now, and the wizards in the camp are far away." There is no overload, so if we use wands secretly, the Ministry of Magic will just turn a blind eye."
"You girls, if you want to use magic makeup to do your hair or something, please feel free."
And another boy who hit the golfer's position with Jennifer - Albert Harper, obviously not as caring as Paul, he only cares about the game, and now he is looking around mysteriously, covering his mouth and bowing his head to everyone Said: "Hey, I heard that Bulgaria is particularly exaggerated...their youth team has been training with the national team for several months, using the exact same requirements and standards."
Jennifer shook her head, "The youth school team doesn't count as a score...it's too much of a fuss."
"Some national teams pay more attention to the results of friendly matches, and think that losing will bring bad luck-fortunately, our national team is not so superstitious." Another male chaser shrugged.
"So what if they vomit blood after training, Bulgaria's club and national team have long been out of service." Paul raised his eyebrows, "No matter how powerful and talented Krum is, he has already lost several games in his short career. , even though he catches the Snitch every time—and he can't play both national team and junior team."
"Don't worry, we have the same schedule as the national team, and we won't be able to match against Bulgaria." Brigitte, one of the substitute chasers, looked at the schedule booklet in his hand, "Our first match is against England."
"According to the national team's consistent tradition of running with the team." Brigitte muttered dejectedly, "We are likely to go home after a game."
Halle also nodded in agreement - this is not pessimism, this is a rational inference based on historical data and analysis of the strength of both parties.
England has missed the trophy in the past 30 years, but it is a veteran team after all, and Hogwarts is sending talents to clubs all over Europe every year. *
"Speaking of England, is their youth team here? That is the Hogwarts team." Jennifer looked around, as if trying to find an opponent hiding in a big tree.
"I didn't see it." Albert Harper, who was well informed, also shook his head.
It seems that "Hogwarts" is a magical spell, as long as it is read out, hidden ghosts can be summoned-a few boys and girls who appeared from nowhere while they were not paying attention have approached the camp of the American team .
Needless to say, this is the Hogwarts team they just mentioned, because they also wear the official uniform of the British national team - a large red and white plaid, the robe is divided into pieces, shoulders and arms Has brown armor. *
The atmosphere was very awkward and tense at one time. The awkwardness was because the American team didn’t know what to say. The nervousness was because Harry saw a few familiar faces—the Weasley boy who appeared after the science fair, including Ron, There are twin brothers.She was afraid that they would recognize her, so she got behind Jennifer's broad shoulders.
"Look, look, isn't this the legendary U.S. team? Why don't you talk? The ghost bomb blasted you all into a fool?" said a tall boy who looked very evil at first glance.
"Flint... we don't play the Slytherin thing you did when you were captain," said another good-looking boy with dignity.
Harley and the others were actually not angry, it was just a mutual loss before the match, it was too normal, Harley would say a few words before the duel with Damian back then.
The members of Ilvermorny, including herself, were about to speak back, but when they heard what the handsome-faced boy said, they felt embarrassed and turned back...
At this moment, Harry suddenly felt a particularly unfriendly gaze—from a little boy with blond hair and a pointed face.
It is not accurate to say that it is a little boy, because the other party looks at least the same age as him, but his exaggerated expression is very childish.
"Are you Harry Potter?" The little boy's expression was almost exactly the same as that of the first boy who spoke just now—full of evil, "You are really short, short and small, and so ugly, really Disappointing. Hide away in your America and never come back."
Harley's teammates became furious and began to stand in front of her, "Want to fight? A sharp-faced white monkey?" Paul raised his fist, threatening.
"Malfoy, if you let me hear another insult, you don't want to play again." Cedric was very angry. He hadn't played yet, and he was thrown abroad in embarrassment.
"Then I'll tell Dad to take back the broom!" Malfoy protested viciously.
"Whatever you want. I don't care." Malfoy, who was outspoken and acted like a young master, was much more embarrassing than a team of Comet 260.
"I just said you looked familiar in the newspaper, but that photo was too blurry." Ron pointed at Harry, his eyes widened, "We asked you a year ago, and you lied to us that you knew Harry Potter!"
"Watch your words, little Ronnie," said one of the twins, "be careful what you say, the Unbreakable Vow."
