The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Sunlight slowly seeped into the room, and the light from Harry's desk lamp was not so bright against the rising sun. Harry had finished writing the letter to Tom. He unfolded the parchment and read it from beginning to end. After making sure that there was nothing wrong, he rolled up the parchment. I'll send it to Tom when Hedwig comes back.

He glanced at the clock on the wall. The Dursleys should have gotten up, so he also changed his clothes and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Dali had all his pocket money confiscated since he was hit by his father in a fast food restaurant. To this end, he threw his game console from the second floor, but it didn't help. The Dursleys were determined to follow through on their weight loss diet - after the incident, Aunt Petunia also took back Uncle Vernon's control over her pay card.

But this has nothing to do with Harry at all. Every day he hides in his room and eats canned food to feel good. From time to time he can go to a fast food restaurant for a toothpaste. He seems to have gained a few pounds these days.

When Harry came to the kitchen, the Dursleys were already seated. Today's breakfast was hopelessly grapefruit. This kind of food was very unpalatable, but fortunately Aunt Petunia reduced the portion given to Harry to ease his pain.

Just as Harry was quickly destroying the grapefruit on his plate, an unusual letter was mailed to the Dursleys' home.

The letter was from the Weasleys, and the envelope was covered in stamps.

This letter brings good news: at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley will pick up Harry from Privet Drive and take him to live at the Burrow for a few days! Then they go to the World Cup together!

Uncle Vernon was furious because of the envelope, but there was nothing he could do: once the wizards really decided to do something, there was nothing he could do to stop it. Besides, it wouldn't be a bad thing to get rid of Harry, the annoying guy, from home in advance.

After receiving permission, Harry restrained his inner joy and returned to his bedroom.

At this time, Hedwig had returned from foraging outside, and with her came Ron's noisy little owl, which brought Ron's letter.

Harry quickly wrote a reply and asked the owls to take it out with the letter to Tom. Looking at the two owls, one big and one small, fading away, Harry cheered deep in his heart. He felt that the owls had taken away his troubles.

Far away in London, Tom is having breakfast with the Grangers. The food on the dinner table was much richer than that of the Dursleys: grilled sausages, fried bacon, half-cooked fried eggs, soft toast and fruit cereal. It's full of calories but can start a beautiful and happy day.

After living at Granger's house for a long time, Tom's behavior has become much more natural, and he can even answer Mr. Granger's British jokes at the dinner table. However, he secretly made up his mind that he must buy a house as his new home in the future - what would it be like to always live with the Grangers!

"...You should understand that this is an era of reconciliation. We must focus on consensus, seek common ground while reserving differences, and see the good side of our opponents. We cannot blindly find faults. Everyone has advantages." Mr. Granger was speaking to the audience. own views on international politics.

"Except the French." Tom put the sausage on his plate.

Mr. Granger was amused by these words. He tried hard to suppress his smile and said seriously: "No, even the French."

There was an air of joy around the table.

At this time, a gray owl flew in, which was a reply from the official ticket sales agency of the World Cup. Tom sent them the ticket sales information two days ago and received a receipt today. Considering that the Magic World is a purely manual service and there are hundreds of thousands of spectators at the World Cup, this is already very efficient.

[Dear Mr. Tom Yoder,

Our company has received and processed your application. The envelope contains two doses of magic potion that can eliminate the effects of the Muggle Exorcism Curse. The effect of the medicine lasts for 48 hours, and you need to take the medicine again after 48 hours.

In addition, according to the Ministry of Magic's "Confidentiality Agreement During the World Cup Finals", you need to go to a fixed location and use a portkey to go to the competition venue. Please see the appendix for the door key drop-off location and time schedule. 】

Tom took out two vials of potion and a long list from the envelope. The list included two hundred door key drop-off locations, all over the UK.

"It's a letter about the World Cup..." Tom briefly said the content of the letter. Mr. Granger took the appendix over and studied the locations.

"The one that suits us best is the Portkey... located in the Leaky Cauldron in London. What the hell is this?"

"Some enchanted junk can transport people to a set location." Tom explained.

"There must be a lot of people at the Leaky Cauldron!" Hermione frowned. Everyone knew that the Leaky Cauldron was the most convenient place. "God knows how many people would go to the Leaky Cauldron that day to pick up the Portkey." What's worse is that , in order to keep it secret, most of the Portkeys are located in the wilderness, avoiding big cities like London. Only the Leaky Cauldron in London has a portkey.

After all, in other places, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be seen by passing Muggles when you teleport away.

There was a bit of an argument over where to catch the Portkey. After all, once you leave London, it’s pretty much the same wherever you go. You have to drive to the wilderness, find a place - such as a farmer's house - to store the car, and then walk to the location where the door key is placed.

Their argument was interrupted by the arrival of two owls: one large and one small, one gray and one white, one lively and the other steady, none other than Harry's Hedwig and Ron's Piggy.

Tom was surprised. He received the letter from the talons of two owls. He opened Ron's letter first, and the content inside made his eyes light up.

"Mr. Granger, I think we can go to the Portkey Point on Stoat Mountain."

After hearing what Tom said, Mr. Granger stopped arguing with his wife and found the location of "Stoat Mountain" on the appendix list.

"On the hill northwest of the village of Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon?" Mr. Granger looked confused, "Why?"

"Because my classmate Ron from Gryffindor sent us an invitation and asked if we would like to go to the World Cup finals with their family." Tom handed Ron's letter to Mr. Granger , "His father asked him to ask us, saying that the "Confidentiality Agreement" would cause us inconvenience or something... By the way, Harry Potter is also going with them."

While Mr. Granger was reading Ron's letter, Tom opened the letter from Harry.
