Chapter 136 Making the British Wizarding World Great Again

In the Leaky Cauldron, Professor Dumbledore was sipping violet sparkling water, with a can of freshly opened cockroaches placed next to him.

The candy cockroach in the jar desperately crawled out, but was blocked by an invisible barrier in the mouth.

Next to him, Professor Slughorn was lying on a comfortable winged armchair, with his feet placed on the large velvet cushion he had conjured up. It was so comfortable.

Professor Slughorn held a small glass of grape juice in his left hand, and with the other hand he was picking through a box of pineapple preserves, throwing a piece into his mouth from time to time.

"Oh, I have to say that Ambrosio's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Professor Slughorn showed off to Dumbledore while chewing pineapple preserves.

"The most correct thing I did was to introduce him to Ciceron Huskey and get him his first job.

To this day, I still get this delicious pineapple preserves at half price at Bee Duke Candy Store!”

"Yes, you are indeed very discerning, Horace." Dumbledore took a sip of water, showed an intoxicated expression, and then said unconsciously,

"Especially since you are always willing to teach some magic to those talented students..."

"Ahem!" Professor Slughorn coughed twice, suddenly very interested in his frosted fingers.

At the same time, he seemed to ask casually: "Why hasn't Severus picked up Harry yet?

I can't wait to talk to the child in the gifted class again. Merlin is in the class, she is really talented, even more talented than her mother.

Her whimsical ideas have given me a lot of inspiration this year! If I were still at Hogwarts, I would definitely drag her into my club!"

Dumbledore smiled and nodded. He had only subconsciously mentioned it casually before.

He definitely couldn't ask about such an important matter in public.

The two didn't wait long.

Soon, the door of a small room dedicated to Apparition on the first floor of the Leaky Cauldron was opened, and Professor Snape walked out with Harry.

"Severus, we are over here!" Dumbledore raised his cup to signal.

"Hello, Professor, long time no see." Harry greeted Professor Slughorn after sitting down.

Although Slughorn is no longer a professor, he still likes to be called professor.

He always believed that his choice to become the Potions Professor at Hogwarts was his most correct choice. After all, this required course allowed him to come into contact with a large number of outstanding students.

"Long time no see, Harry. Here's a piece of pineapple preserves, a new one just arrived from Bee Duke Candy Store this morning."

Professor Slughorn pointed to the beautifully packaged box at hand. The frosting on his fingers had disappeared at some point, and his feet had also been put down from the velvet cushion.

"If I remember correctly, you will be in your third year this semester, so you can go to Hogsmeade.

Be sure to go to Bee Duke Candy Shop when the time comes, the delicious food there is not to be missed.”

"Thank you for the recommendation, professor." Harry said sweetly, wrapping her hands in a handkerchief, and carefully selected a piece of candied fruit from the box.

"Harry, this time we are representing Hogwarts in an overseas competition, so we have to follow the official procedures." After the two ended their conversation, Dumbledore began to describe the itinerary,

"I applied for a portkey at the Ministry of Magic and set off in the afternoon, with the destination being the French Ministry of Magic.

After a simple check-in, we went directly to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Madame Maxime would reserve a few beds for us, and we could also meet acquaintances.

Nico and his wife will also go to watch the game this time, so they will also go to Beauxbatons.

Then tomorrow we will take Beauxbatons transportation to the specific competition location."

"It's really good. I still miss Beauxbatons' foie gras, caviar and French bouillabaisse." Slughorn took a sip of grape juice and shook his head. Wine goes better with pineapple preserves.

"Professor, shall we wait here until the afternoon?" Harley asked.

"That's not necessary, you can go shopping in Diagon Alley, as long as you come back before two o'clock in the afternoon.

Your luggage is in the warehouse upstairs. If you need to get some Galleons, you can ask Old Tom to get it for you."

…

In the remaining time before departure, Harry did not go to Gringotts to withdraw money.

Thanks to Professor Lockhart's gift, even the gem materials are available, saving Harry from the bumps and torture of Gringotts' car.

After replenishing some potions and parchment, Harley wrote a letter to several close friends, telling them that she was going to France and not to contact her for the time being.

This time, Harley did not use Hedwig again, but let her rest in the cage for a while and let several public owls make this trip.

Everyone else wished Harry a safe journey, as she had received the correct assignment after all.

Although there were some shortcomings, the professor exempted Harley from her homework in front of everyone, so they couldn't say anything.

Hermione expressed her regret that she could not go to watch the game.

Although the Grangers also took her to travel to France, the destinations were the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame de Paris.

Obviously, the venue for the Magic School Potions Championship is not in their travel plans, nor can it appear on their travel plans.

However, she wrote back that she planned to stay at home from mid-July to the end of August.

If Harry hadn't left Paris at that time, the Grangers could take Harry to visit the beautiful places in the Muggle world.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the four of them went directly to the Ministry of Magic through Apparition.

Professor Dumbledore didn't know where he got a bag with a traceless stretching spell cast on it, and the bag had a large capacity.

Harry watched with her own eyes as the bag easily contained everyone's luggage, including Professor Slughorn's two large boxes of pineapple preserves.

Going through the formalities at the Ministry of Magic is very easy and quick.

Obviously, as a well-known figure, Professor Dumbledore just made an appointment with the Ministry of Magic, wrote a letter, and all the procedures were completed by the staff.

The four of them said they were going through the procedures, but in fact they just signed and received a door key.

"Albus, with you personally leading the team this time, we will definitely win the final victory.

This will be a milestone across the ages, marking that the UK and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are once again in line with international standards after the Wizarding War..."

Before departure, Fudge, dressed neatly in a suit and tie, appeared in the room with door keys reserved for cross-border travelers.

He held Professor Dumbledore's hand firmly, with a smile on his face, and recited the lines he had memorized emotionally.

Looking at his proud look, with his head held high, he seemed to have made great achievements.

After greeting the three professors one by one, Fudge looked at Harry again, and the smile on his face became more kind and kind:

"Harry, you have to work hard! The honor of the British wizarding community rests on you!

I believe that a genius like you can easily defeat other players, win the championship, and make the British wizarding world great again!"

"Thank you for your blessing, I will definitely do my best." Harley bent her knees slightly, with a sincere smile on her face.

…

(Thanks to Jiuwei Yanhu and Silent Xiaoxing for the reward!)
