I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 216 Leading a Child astray
The holiday is earlier this year, and the Football World Cup will be held on June 10th. Calculating the dates, we can leave school around the th when the test results are announced.

Solanlian was very reasonable, and the main reason she was reasonable was that the Quidditch World Cup was held right after the Football World Cup final.

As a true Englishman, Harry actually has a great interest in football, so there are even more people going to Eagle Sauce to watch the game, including Hermione's family of three, Harry and Ron, the Weasley twins, their godfather Sirius, Louis, Catherine and Christasza.

In fact, Solanlian also wanted to go, but she had other things to do.

There were eleven people in the group, so there was no need to worry about visas. In July six years ago, the UK and the United States implemented visa-free relations, and citizens holding British passports can stay in the United States for up to 90 days.

As for this type of passport, it is very simple. It can be done at the speed of light with just one phone call.

This is the confidence that the old London Union Jack gives me.jpg.

When they came out of Platform 9 3/4, the butler Mr. Askin had been waiting there for a long time. Louis first invited them to his home and then borrowed a private plane from his grandfather.

Of course, he bought this plane for his grandfather, after all, he made a lot of money from moonberry juice and wizard legends.

The old man hasn’t used it once yet. Tsk, I don’t know who he bought it for.

The Eagles were well developed in 1994, with the first game being held at 9:30 a.m. on June 17 at the Silverdome in Pontiac.

Pontiac is a small city in northeastern Illinois, more than 100 kilometers southwest of Chicago. Since he arrived early, Louis planned to appreciate the "Eagle Sauce, Fuck Yeah".

As soon as he entered the city, Louis felt the tough customs of the American people. There were actually guys performing American-style Iai on the street.

Fast, too fast, it’s the perfect way to experience the authentic traditional folk customs.

To be honest, this was the first time Mr. Granger had experienced such a situation, and he was extremely excited, shouting and screaming, with no sign of fear at all. Instead, it was Mrs. Granger who kept pulling him, telling him not to shout and scream so as not to disturb the gunman.

In fact, it didn't matter if it disturbed the gunman. After all, Sirius was in the same car with them, and the armor could easily block the pistol bullet.

Luis actually came here for Maradona, but when he got here he found out that Maradona was disqualified from the competition because he failed the urine test and tested positive for stimulants.

What a pity, Louis smacked his lips. In fact, he had always liked Ma in his previous life. Even though he became a British in this life, he actually had no prejudice against Ma.

He couldn’t recognize Maldini, and he didn’t know the others… Oh, it wasn’t until he saw the Italy game that Luis realized he also knew a Paolo Maldini.

He really didn't expect that Ma Dui was from this era. Although the well-known stars of later generations have been born, they are still young and do not have the qualifications to play in the World Cup, such as the alien Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Diego Forlan, Zidane and other well-known stars. In addition, there are those who are always on the bench - like the German lion king Kahn, he knows him, but Kahn... well, he did not get a chance to play in this year's World Cup.

The reason I come to the World Cup is just to watch the fun, mainly because there is really nothing to do during the summer vacation.

But it must be said that Chicago's thick-crust pizza has really become his favorite. Although Veronica would be furious if she saw it, he didn't bring her along this time, so he had no psychological barriers to eating it.

In this way, I traveled around major cities in the United States to watch the World Cup and experience the local customs and culture. To be honest, in this era, an authentic Oxford accent is very popular in the United States, except among the men here.

Even when Louis was ordering food, he received a lot of infatuated looks - for British men, the British women of this era are pure losers.

It may be due to Louis's good looks, but his accent is definitely a big plus. If Catherine hadn't been there, Louis would have been taken away long ago.

Louis is also quite honest and not too interested in other girls - the only ones he is interested in now are Sophie Marceau, Monica Bellucci and Nicole Kidman.

He had been staying in Yingjiang for a whole month before the World Cup final. It was quite boring, at least much more boring than the last World Cup before he traveled through time - it should be said that it was not even comparable.

The two teams, Italy and Brazil, fought for more than 120 minutes, and ended up shaking hands in a - draw. The winner was finally decided by a penalty shootout.

"It's so boring." Harry shook his head, saying that this was the most boring game he had ever seen.

At least in the eyes of a professional Quidditch player like him, Quidditch is much more fun than football.

As the saying goes, experts see the details, while laymen see the excitement. For example, if you are used to watching Quidditch games where there are lots of goals scored, you naturally won't like football games where both sides often go ninety minutes without scoring.

After the World Cup, they stayed in Eagle Sauce for a few more days before returning to the UK.

Because Catherine had to go home to be with Solanlian, Louis returned to his happy days of living alone.

The prerequisite is that there is no big-toothed little brat following him around and bothering him.

But today, William didn't stick to him. Feeling a little uncomfortable, Louis went downstairs to see what the boy was doing, and then he saw the scene of his grandfather leading the child astray.

In the card room of Mountbatten's house, a group of people gathered around the table, all of them seemed to be old friends of Grandpa. The room was filled with smoke, like a fairyland, and old Louis was smoking a cigar, not worrying about his health at all.

"Okay, the last round of cards." The dealer distributed the cards in his hand one by one: "The last card is a hold card... Old K is talking."

The middle-aged man who got K looked to the left, then to the right: "One pound."

“I followed.” “I followed.” “I followed.”

Everyone expressed their willingness to follow the lead.

It was old Louis' turn. He put his cards on the table and took out his chips: "I'll follow. I'll raise another five pounds."

Everyone around was stunned. They were all old friends. Old Louis was used to playing it safe and steady on weekdays, so he must be holding a big card by increasing the bet like this.

Who would have thought that William, with big buck teeth, would ask in a baby voice, "How dare you raise the bet by five pounds with such a crappy hand?"

As soon as William finished speaking, the card players at the table shouted to follow suit.

But Grandpa laughed and revealed his bottom card: "A pair of Jacks, and the rest are all tens."

"Oh! for goodness sake!" A gray-haired old man sitting next to Grandpa asked while tapping his pipe, "Little brat, do you know what 'gourd' means?"

William said proudly: "Of course, I also know how to scare people."

Old Louis laughed and high-fived William. “I love this kid so much!”

When he turned around to high-five, he noticed that Louis had been looking at him for a long time.

"Hey, Louis," Grandpa greeted.

Louis rubbed William's little head and said with a smile: "Why don't you let William come up and try. It's not the right thing to let the child watch all the time."

"You're right." Grandpa readily made way and let William sit in his seat.

After his grandfather withdrew, he volunteered to take on the responsibility of dealing the cards. He first dealt two hole cards, and William got the A and Q of spades. In the first round of showing cards, William got a Jack of spades.

The chips he was using were not his own, so he nonchalantly followed the other person's one pound bet.

In the second round, William was dealt the 10 of spades.

This time the price was raised by one pound, and William chose to follow. Two families had already slipped away when they saw that the cards were not good.

In the third round, William had the King of Spades in front of him.

This is fucking scary, a royal flush, the biggest hand in Texas Hold'em.

Seeing the three pure spades in front of William, everyone said they would not follow. The ideas of beginners are always the best, which is the truth on the card table.

"Ten pounds." William took out the blue chips, threw them on the table, and looked at everyone with a smile.

Only the middle-aged man just now expressed his willingness to follow.

He admitted that there was an element of gambling in his mind, but he had four nines in his hand, so it would be a waste not to follow.

"I'll give you another twenty pounds." The man removed three chips.

Louis didn't see the trump card in William's hand, and whispered in his ear: "Man, I think he has you."

"He is bluffing." William turned around and said to his good uncle: "When he feels guilty, he touches his ears. Besides, I am not afraid of him."

The middle-aged man put down his hand that was touching his ear and asked in a taunting tone, "How about it, little mouse Superman, do you want to follow me?"

William looked back at Louis, then at his great-uncle.

"Go ahead." Old Louis said in a firm tone. He saw the cards in William's hand - God have mercy on him, the last time he touched such a big card was on a warship in the Indian Ocean in 1943.

"With you." William put out two blue chips.

The middle-aged man laughed and turned over the cards: "Four nines!"

Unexpectedly, William chuckled and revealed his trump card.

"Royal Flush, eat you!"

The middle-aged man looked at William for a long while, pointed at him and said to the people around him: “I hate this kid.”

This sentence made the whole audience burst into laughter, especially old Louis, who laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.

"Did you hear that? Your uncle Gloucester said he doesn't like you." Old Louis patted William and laughed.

As I was laughing, Diana's voice came from the door.

"Grandpa, Louis, and William, what are you doing?"

The chess and card room fell into an awkward silence.

"We are trying to help William get out of his depression, Duch." Louis said as he walked up, put his arm around Diana's waist and led her outside: "Come on, sister, long time no see, let's go play The Witcher Legend..."

After hearing this, Diana also forgot that William was still playing poker. She followed Louis halfway before she remembered her eldest son.

She walked to her grandfather, stretched out her hand to grab William’s ear and dragged him out, and with the other hand she grabbed Louis’ arm, with a feeling of swallowing up the mountains and rivers.

You can't mess with a woman who is 1.78 meters tall...

When they walked out, Gloucester raised the cup beside him and pointed it towards the door: "Cheers to Louis."

"Cheers to Louis." Everyone raised their cups and drank a toast to Louis's firepower.

……

This boring and tedious day lasted for three or four days, until Catherine wrote to urge him to go to the Waller family through the fireplace, and Louis reluctantly said goodbye to his little bed at home.

Before the dizzy feeling was over, Louis felt something poking his shoulder.

"Sister Lian." Louis greeted her sincerely. There was no one else but Solan Lian who had such a bad taste.

Solanlian snorted twice and said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "It seems that football is much more popular than our Volley family. I think someone is so happy that he has forgotten that he has a girlfriend waiting for him at home."

This statement is misleading!

"How could that be, Sister Lian?" Louise quickly apologized with a smile, pulling Catherine aside: "Of course I miss Catherine in my heart, but you have to let me accompany Grandpa, after all, Grandpa is old, right?"

"Hmph." Solanlian would not act unreasonably. It was indeed important to accompany her grandfather. An old man in his nineties might not have many years left to live. One day less with him was a day less.

She turned and walked away into the kitchen.

Catherine smiled and said, "I must buy some novel gifts for Grandpa when I go to watch the Quidditch World Cup final in a few days."

"No need, grandpa just likes to smoke, drink and perm his hair. There is no shortage of cigarettes and alcohol at home. You can just buy him some wizarding perm ointment." Louis said casually, as if he was talking about someone else's grandfather.

What grandson is this?
Catherine covered her lips lightly and asked with a smile: "Look at what you said, what has grandpa been doing at home recently?"

"Playing poker." Louis scratched his head and answered truthfully: "Oh, he called a few friends and a few comrades-in-arms to set up a poker room at home. A group of people smoked in the room every day and played poker at the same time."

"Those days were pretty good." Catherine thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"Not only is he good, he also led William...my eldest nephew astray." Louis laughed and said, "You don't know, William's poker skills are better than grandpa's now. I really didn't expect that he has such a great talent in this area. This kid...maybe he can participate in the world competition in the future?"

"Forget it. He will become famous in another way." Solanlian came out of the kitchen with two cups of coffee in her hands: "Try it. This is my new skill."

Louis picked up the coffee and was about to take a sip when suddenly, his inner alarm bells started ringing and he started jumping around like a little rabbit.
