Chapter 316 The Gluttonous Witch
"But don't get too excited too early, because only the top three in this year's Dumbledore Cup competition have certificates, so even if you enter the quarterfinals, it doesn't mean anything. After all, according to this elimination method, the further you go, the more you encounter. The stronger the opponent." Professor Kane urged again.
People with a high level of magic can easily beat others to advance, so the players who are left behind are of extraordinary strength. Although the lucky ones who have a bye miss a round, if the magic level is not enough and they meet a powerful wizard Three rounds still have to be eliminated.
"But apart from your good luck, Rose and Erdo are not lucky." Webery looked a little gloating beside him.
Professor Kane tapped Webery's head with his wand in dissatisfaction: "What are you so happy for?"
"What's wrong with them? Professor."
Maureen looked at Rose and Erdo who were a little nervous sitting on the chairs. He was very familiar with Rose, but he didn't know much about Erdo. He only knew that Erdo was a sixth-grade Hufflepuff student. Two years ahead of Rose.
"I know." Magatha observed the expressions of Rose and Erdo, and couldn't wait to say: "The two of them are the opponents in the next round."
"Yes, sometimes it's that cruel."
Professor Kane looked at Rose and Erdo regretfully, shook his head and said: "In the Dumbledore Cup, except for the first round who will not meet people from your own school, in the second round of draws, there is a high probability that there will be The opponents of several people are from their own schools. But after all, this is a stage to show the level of personal magic, and they will all meet together in the end."
Five people from Hogwarts advanced to the second round. When drawing opponents among fifteen people, these five people could easily meet their own school.
"Durmstrang and Beauxbatons also drew their own people, which is normal. In fact, from another perspective, meeting their own people at least means that someone from our own school will definitely enter the third round. It's another benefit."
Professor Kane looked at Erdo and Rose encouragingly, and he felt a little helpless. Luck favored Maureen, but it didn't happen to Rose and Erdo. These two people will compete in the next round, and they are destined to have one day. The individual was eliminated, the palms and backs of the hands were full of flesh, and it hurt to watch.
Rose looked a little more nervous. Although she was a top student in the fourth grade, Erdo did not give up much, not to mention that Erdo was a sixth-grade student, and Erdo's chances of winning were still greater.
"Okay, the second round of competition doesn't start until [-]:[-] pm. Let's have lunch first. Everyone should work hard." Professor Kane said.
It was already twelve o'clock at noon, and there was still a game in the afternoon, so many wizards would not leave the stadium.Many magic restaurants have paid sponsorship fees and moved the restaurants to the stadium.
The entire track is already crowded with people, and there are more than a dozen wizarding restaurants on the red runway shouting for customers and distributing leaflets.
These restaurants look very simple on the outside, just a simple tent, no more than five or six square meters, but inside the tent, it is another matter.For this event, some tents for 200-[-] people are not a big deal.
This kind of mobile magic portable tent that casts the traceless stretching spell is prepared in all restaurants, and it is specially born for this kind of large-scale wizarding event.Like Quidditch competitions, magic singer concerts, and the competitions held between schools now, but wherever wizards gather in large numbers, these restaurants will run with this kind of portable tents. Business.
Of course, the restaurant venue fee still has to be paid, and it is expensive.
Professor Kane led Morin and the others towards the "Gluttonous Witch" restaurant. This restaurant is a dining place specially designated by the Ministry of Magic for the professors and students of the three schools. The lunch fee is reimbursed by the Academic Research Association of the Ministry of Magic.
"The Academic Research Association of the Ministry of Magic is really generous. It actually reimbursed us for lunch. I have always wanted to go to the restaurant of the Gluttonous Witch, but the business in Diagon Alley is so hot that it is always full." Webery said very happily.
"What's so generous about this?" Magatha said disdainfully: "In any case, the Ministry of Magic invited the elites of the three schools to participate in this academic competition, attracting so many wizard audiences, ticket fees, advertising fees and venue fees They all charged a large sum, and the mere reimbursement of a meal is a drop in the bucket, okay?"
Magatha sees this kind of thing more clearly than anyone else, and she can basically figure out anything with a single stroke of a pen.
"Magatha is right." Professor Kane nodded and said, "Don't underestimate this kind of activity. These activities can greatly stimulate the domestic demand of the wizarding economy, stimulate the growth of wizarding consumption, and are very helpful to the development of the wizarding society. It is not the 90s now. That kind of monotonous wizard mode, times are changing, everything must keep pace with the times, if you can, you can also take wizard economics like Magatha, it is a very interesting subject."
The Hogwarts school in the 21st century offers many elective courses similar to Muggle universities. Although wizards are better than Muggles, they are lagging behind in many aspects, so the school has already offered many courses. Last year It also takes Muggle studies as a compulsory course, which is enough to show that wizards attach great importance to Muggles.
Led by a wizard waiter, they walked into the tent of the "Greedy Witch" restaurant. This tent was decorated in an extremely elegant style, with a strong wizard town style, and it was not much different from the real restaurant.
The waiter took them into a box, gave them several menus, and everything was free.After hearing Magatha's words, Webery felt that it was too stingy to reimburse only one meal for such a big event, so he ordered two servings of all the dishes and drinks in the entire menu.
"Can you finish it? Webery!" Magatha said gruffly.
"There are twelve of us here! Don't you mean a drop in the bucket?" Webery said with a smile.
"It is enough to order everything first, and try not to waste it. Saving is a virtue." Professor Kane said.
"If we can't finish eating, let's pack it." Webery took out his wand and conjured up several magic paper boxes for packing. "If I can, I can pack up the whole Gluttonous Witch's food."
Professor Kane shook his head helplessly.
Maureen sat in the corner, still thinking about the Muggle Opera House.
"What's the matter? You don't have to participate in the next round of the competition, why are you still depressed?" Magatha rested her cheek with one hand, and looked around with a magnifying glass in the other hand.
"No, I was just thinking about something," Mo Lin said.
"Thinking about whether you can defeat your opponent in Transfiguration?" Magatha asked.
Maureen shrugged, noncommittal.
