Chapter 452: Divergence (the mischievous Wheel of Fortune leader,
Chapter 452: Disagreement (the mischievous Wheel of Fortune leader, plus update 35)
Fred and George expressed strong dissatisfaction with Kyle's different treatment, thinking that they were being underestimated, and insisted on having a taste of aged fire whiskey.
Kyle still ignored them.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that they saw Bill lying on the ground sleeping soundly that the two of them closed their mouths. Then they pretended as if nothing happened and turned around to drink their own juice.
They witnessed with their own eyes that Bill went from drinking, to nodding, and finally lying on the ground naturally.
The whole process was so smooth, there wasn't even a pause in the middle, as if Bill came here just to sleep on the floor of Kyle's house.
Charlie is in pretty good shape.
As a dragon breeder, he was experienced in drinking a lot of spirits. He only took a shallow sip at the first sip and did not drink it all like Bill did.
"Does he think he's drinking ale?" Charlie looked at Bill lying on the ground mockingly.
Just like Fred and George would never miss an opportunity to take a dig at Percy, he and Bill did the same, and it was a family tradition.
The only difference is that Bill is not as stupid as Percy and can always find opportunities to fight back.
But he is drunk now.
Charlie had a good time, and took another sip of whiskey in a happy mood.
Kyle brought some more candies and snacks.
Among the gifts he received were many snacks, and they were of various kinds.
A few people were eating snacks and chatting casually.
The topic was normal at first. Charlie talked about some interesting things that happened in the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary. For example, a group of guys who wanted to steal dragon eggs were frightened by the fire dragon, and finally cried and went to the dragon breeder for help, or which dragon laid down again. A nest of dragon eggs or something.
These are not accessible in school, and they sound very interesting.
Accordingly, Kyle told him about Hogwarts.
The liar professor in the third grade, the basilisk, and the Dementor who bravely entered the Quidditch pitch in the fourth grade... Charlie also listened to these with great interest and called them unfair.
I think that when he was in school, Hogwarts had never been so exciting.
Especially the basilisk. Since becoming a dragon keeper, Charlie has become more and more like Hagrid, and they both like those dangerous large magical animals.
“I really want to see the basilisk,” he said regretfully.
Fred and George waved their hands quickly, trying to get him to give up the idea.
That basilisk thing stared at everyone to death. When they first learned that Ron was sent to the school hospital, they were so frightened that their legs were weak. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm in the end.
It's not worth risking your life just for a little curiosity.
Fortunately, Charlie just said it casually, and the basilisk thing is not something that can be seen just by looking at it.
He put down the cup, stuffed a large piece of fudge into his mouth, and turned to another matter.
“Kyle, I heard from Fred that your Hufflepuffs have won the Quidditch Cup four years in a row?”
"It's just good luck. I won because of everyone's favor. It's not worth mentioning. It's really not worth mentioning!" Kyle waved his hand modestly.
Fred and George both had ugly expressions, and their teeth were clenching. If Kyle could stop smiling so obviously when he said this, maybe they would believe it.
Charlie looked at them and wondered: "Didn't you say that Harry got a Firebolt? He also lost?"
Fred and George took an indignant sip of juice, their expressions extremely determined, "We will definitely win next year!"
“You Hufflepuffs don’t want to win five consecutive championships!”
“You guys have to work hard, it’s going to be very difficult to win the Quidditch match next school year.” Kyle raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
Charlie opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back and took the initiative to change the subject:
“Kyle, who do you think will win this year’s World Cup?”
“Of course it’s the Irish team,” Kyle blurted out.
"No." Charlie shook his head and said, "I think it's Bulgaria. They have filled in the last piece of the team's puzzle this year. The talented seeker Viktor Krum will definitely be able to compete for the championship."
"Ha, only you seekers will support Bulgaria." Kyle said without giving any face: "Quidditch is a sport of seven people. A talented seeker is important, but the chaser is the real one. core."
"Oh?" Charlie sat up straight, "How do you say it?"
“It’s very simple, you only saw that Bulgaria had Krum, but you didn’t notice that they replaced a veteran chaser.
The reason given in "Daily Quidditch" is that he is too old and cannot cooperate well with Krum. This is simply ridiculous. A chaser only needs to be responsible for scoring points. How can he still use ghosts? Did the fly ball knock the Snitch into Krum's hands? "
Kyle sneered, "Believe it or not, in this year's game, they will be pushed to the ground and rubbed. Unless Krum can catch the Golden Snitch before falling behind by 150 points, Bulgaria can win. "
Fred and George nodded in agreement.
They think the same as Kyle.
Especially after the previous game against Hufflepuff, they also deeply understood the importance of Chaser scoring.
If the score difference is too big, it will be useless no matter how powerful the Seeker is. At most, it will delay the game. But if the strength is not good, it will be useless no matter how long it takes.
"No, I insist that Bulgaria can win." Charlie shook his head, "Ivanova is also a strong chaser, and Dimitrov. Although he is young, he has also made his mark in international competitions. Corner, like Krum, is a talented player.”
"You are not talking about the Dimitrov who was robbed of the ball three times by Moran during the tour," Kyle said with a half-smile.
Charlie's face was a little red, but he still held his neck and insisted that only the Bulgarian team could win the final championship.
But because the one-on-three disadvantage was too great, it was difficult for Charlie to gain the upper hand, so he simply picked up Bill, who was still sleeping soundly, and went back to the Burrow.
Bill's long ponytail was dragged on the ground, and he also helped clean the room.
"This stupid Seeker." After Charlie went out, Fred and George immediately showed winner's smiles on their faces and high-fived each other.
They did not go back with Charlie.
Mainly because Percy is on vacation today. He has been staying in the room since morning to write a report about the leakage of the cauldron, and forbade them to make the slightest sound.
It has only been a few hours since they got up, and the two of them have already been complained about several times. It is far better to stay here in peace.
