Chapter 102: Star Player Krum, Encountering Luna

Although the Quidditch World Cup hadn't officially started yet.

But wizards from all over the world had already gathered here.

At the same time, there were many Ministry of Magic staff patrolling the field to prevent wizards from casting magic in front of Muggles and being discovered.

It is worth mentioning that these little wizards can also use magic here.

Of course, the premise is that they cannot be seen by Muggles or Ministry of Magic staff.

For example, they saw a little boy who was probably only six or seven years old, who didn't know whose wand he had taken from home, waving it around outside; the wand was like a sparkler, sizzling and spitting fireworks.

There were also some adult wizards who were also looking around, and after confirming that there were no Muggles nearby, quickly cast a Flame Spell to light the firewood.

What attracted the most attention were those foreign wizards wearing strange clothes.

For example, the Central African Black wizard in white robes; this black is not the black of Black Magic, but the black of skin color.

Or the simple-minded Russian wizards, shirtless and doing fitness exercises outside the tent; wow, that witch is so big.

John had just looked twice when he was punched by Hermione and groaned in pain, rubbing his arm; he saw Hermione glaring at him, her ear tips flushed red.

"What are you looking at! Hurry up!"

"Oh."

The two walked for another distance and saw a group of little wizards of the same age wearing standard uniforms.

They should be students from other magic schools; Hogwarts is not the only magic school in this world.

Besides students from magic academies appearing in groups, national Quidditch contestants from various countries were also stationed in a certain camp in groups.

For example, the Bulgarian tents were in patches, with Bulgarian flags fluttering on each tent, and an identical poster.

The person on the poster was Viktor Krum, the Seeker of the Bulgarian national team.

In the picture, he pursed his lips, his brows slightly furrowed, and his sharp gaze looked into the distance.

This person John had only heard Titus and the others mention; he seemed to be a star player in Bulgaria.

Titus and the others were all his fans.

Hermione didn't know him at all, but looking at the fanatical appearance of the people around, she couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Just a Seeker with a cold face, what's so good about chasing?"

John shrugged; he didn't know either, but it was probably like chasing a star player; those who like him are naturally fanatical.

The two strolled around the neighborhood for a bit and then started walking back.

Although the camp was already very lively now, it was still a week away from the start of the Quidditch World Cup, and the real climax hadn't arrived yet.

Titus and the others should have followed Harry to see the stadium first; currently, the stadium was in a semi-open state, only allowing ticket holders to move in designated areas.

Occasionally, one could see national teams from various countries training inside.

However, John and Hermione didn't intend to go watch.

"Hey, John, and Hermione."

At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

"Sister Luna, you came too."

John knew it was Luna without turning his head; after all, her voice with a bit of ethereal feeling had a quite high degree of recognition.

He waved at Luna very happily, and Hermione also turned her head and nodded at her.

"Hmm, Dad and I just arrived yesterday."

Luna walked in front of them, saying this, Luna suddenly leaned forward slightly, raised a hand to her mouth, in the appearance of whispering.

The butterbeer bottle caps hanging on her skirt jingled with her movements.

"Do you know? I heard that someone found traces of glowing Snot Beasts around the camp; Dad said this indicates that a major magical event is about to happen."

"Uh... then did your dad say whether this magical event is a good thing or a bad thing?"

John had already gotten used to Luna's sudden topic, so he very skillfully took over the conversation.

"No, oh."

Luna shook her head very indifferently.

"...... Alright."

At this time, Luna looked at their hands held together and tilted her head.

"Are you holding hands because you're afraid of getting lost?"

She asked softly, the corners of her mouth still holding that mysterious faint smile, but her eyes seemed to penetrate the appearance, "Or is it... that invisible strings have already entangled you together?"

John was stunned for a moment, but Hermione's face flushed slightly.

"What strings?"

John looked at himself strangely, and then looked at Hermione; there were no strings.

Does Luna have any special ability to see things others can't see?

Hermione was somewhat speechless; John was sometimes so dull that it was annoying.

Luna didn't explain either, just smiled lightly.

"I wish you a pleasant journey; I should go back."

"Uh, Sister Luna, don't leave yet; help me find the strings first."

John shouted when he saw this.

And Luna had already turned and walked a few steps; hearing this, she just raised her hand and waved it lightly, and the bottle caps on her skirt jingled again.

"Invisible strings were never meant to be found with eyes."

Her figure went further and further away, and the bell-like jingling of the bottle caps melted into the morning breeze.

Watching Luna go further and further away, John also scratched his head, turned his head to look at Hermione, and found that Hermione was also looking at him.

The moment their eyes met, time seemed to freeze for a second.

Hermione lowered her eyelids first, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Alright, let's go; Luna sometimes says some strange things, don't pay too much attention."

John also had to stop thinking about it and walked back with Hermione.

Titus and the others, accompanied by Sirius, strolled for a long time and even went to the stadium.

It wasn't until noon that they leisurely returned to the tent.

As soon as they saw John, Titus and the others all gathered around and opened their mouths to John excitedly.

"John, John! We saw Krum at the stadium! That's the star player I told you about before!"

John shrugged, not paying too much attention.

"Is that so? I also saw his big headshot."

"We saw the real Krum! His posture riding the flying broom is really too vigorous!"

Even Harry and Ron on the side nodded excitedly.

They loudly called that coming a week in advance this time was really the right choice; being able to see Krum train with their own eyes was simply an unexpected joy.

It seems they were getting along very happily.

Also, it's so easy for boys to make friends.

"By the way, what are we eating for lunch?"

At this time, Titus touched his belly and looked around, asking.

Everyone was stunned, you look at me, I look at you.

They were going to live here for at least a week, so they must have prepared for food.

But the problem is, who will light the fire and cook.

Finally, they all looked at Sirius; Sirius saw everyone staring at him and waved his hands repeatedly.

"I don't know how to cook; you guys look at it yourselves."

Finally, it was Hermione who stood up to preside over the overall situation.

"You few boys are responsible for lighting the fire and going outside to fetch water, and then John and I are responsible for cooking."

She gave orders to those boys one by one; at this time, Harry also raised his hand.

"I can also help cook."

"Okay, then John, you go prepare the ingredients."

With Hermione's command, everyone quickly started moving.

Sirius nodded with satisfaction, intending to find a place to rest and sit and wait for food.

As a result, Hermione pointed at his nose and said.

"Sirius, you also go help me, otherwise there's no food."

Sirius: "Ah?" ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
