Time is neither fast nor slow.

Unconsciously, seventeen years have passed since the famous Harry Potter graduated.

In the past ten years, many great changes have taken place in both the magical world and the Muggle world——

The legendary current god of death, Dracula, has opened up a new space, allowing all wizards who are content with the status quo and trying to survive in escapism to move into the new magical world;

The Muggle Studies class at Hogwarts has changed its core, choosing to invite some Squibs who have lived in the Muggle world all year round, or Muggle wizards who have close ties with their native Muggle families as professors, so that the wizarding world has a better understanding of Muggles. specific and accurate;

Under the leadership of Principal Grindelwald, Durmstrang became the magic school that understood Muggles best. Many graduates lurked into Muggles from all walks of life to learn so-called "science and technology";

The Alchemy Association under the name of Nico Flamel has opened up a new research direction. Through ancient runes, magic circuits and other methods, it uses magic to reproduce Muggle technology and change the relatively backward living conditions in the magic world...

Nowadays, the new world opened up by Dracula has shown a development trend that is completely opposite to the traditional magic world. The combination of the old and the new has resulted in an ever-changing life.



"Since 1997, the mysterious man has been dead for seventeen years, and the former enemy of the Dark Lord has become the youngest director of the Auror Office by virtue of his former fame."

"However, the author detailed the experiences of this famous 'Savior' and found that his achievements were far from worthy of his fame. The one who truly defeated the Dark Lord was the current 'Death' who had disappeared for many years..."

"Hermione, what are you reading?" Harry looked at the capable witch beside him with an absurd expression.

"Rita Skeeter's new book. I stopped by Flourish and Blotts before I came here and found this thing." Hermione raised the book in her hand and showed the cover to Harry.

The words "Dumbledore's Army: The Dark Side of the Devil" are clearly written on the cover of the book.

"How could you have the time to buy something written by that woman? Don't you despise these nonsense the most?" Ron stuck his head out from the other side and asked.

"By the way, I must be mentioned here. How is my image?"

Ron secretly tightened his abdomen and puffed out his chest.

Hermione rolled her eyes and put the book on her knees: "Don't think about it, it's all about us, and there's almost no good things at all."

"Fit my stereotype of Rita Skeeter." Harry nodded without surprise.

Ron collapsed from his position and stared at the book angrily.

There are many portraits of Dumbledore's Army on the cover of the book, with Harry and Ginny standing in the center. The Harry on the cover seemed to be too embarrassed to be in such a tattered book, and was trying to hide his face behind his hands.

"Hey, speaking of where Ginny went, why didn't you see her?" Ron blinked and suddenly remembered that he had a sister.

"Ginny said she was going to meet a friend." Harry replied in a daze, "She also said that we all know this friend and he might give us a surprise."

"Friends? Does she have any friends who can surprise us?" Ron didn't care.

"Don't say that." Hermione patted Ron. "Since Ginny retired from the Holyhead Harpies, she worked as a sports columnist for the Daily Prophet and met many star Quidditch players. !”

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of noise and cheers from the surrounding area.

It turned out that the three Harrys were at the Quidditch World Cup final between Bulgaria and Brazil.

This large-scale competition venue was built in the "New Magical World" and has an extremely wide space and area. There is no need to worry about being influenced by Muggles and having to curb the momentum of Quidditch competitions.

Many young wizards were flying around on mini broomsticks, and older wizards were shooting sparks representing the colors of Brazil and Bulgaria into the sky. The Aurors tried hard to maintain order in the venue, but they couldn't. It takes another amnesiac to change Muggle minds...

At this moment, the audience found a player wearing the uniform of the Bulgarian Quidditch team flying towards the auditorium on a broomstick, and they couldn't help but let out bursts of surprise screams.

"That's... Ginny?" Harry squinted his eyes and looked at the figure flying next to the Bulgarian player through his round glasses.

"It seems like it's really her. Wait, that player is..." Ron exclaimed.

"It's Victor!" Hermione jumped up in surprise and walked to the railing of the stand where they were.

The sturdy player wearing the Bulgarian team uniform fell from the sky, put down his broom and hugged the surprised Hermione.

"Long time no see, Hermione!" He laughed and patted Hermione on the shoulder, then strode towards Harry in his seat.

"Krum!" Harry also stood up from his seat in surprise, and hugged Krum heavily, "I've heard for a long time that you will come to this World Cup, but I didn't expect it to be true! "

"Yes, I was always unwilling to not help Bulgaria win the championship, so I came back." Krum nodded with emotion, "This may be my last game, and it is also the closest I get to the championship. once."

Twenty years have passed since Harry and Krum last met. At that time, Krum was still a taciturn young player, but now he is a cheerful 38-year-old uncle, already over the age among Quidditch players.

Krum caught the Golden Snitch in the 1994 Quidditch World Cup, but Bulgaria only finished second, 10 points behind.

In the following two Quidditch World Cups, Krum led the Bulgarian team to the finals, but like a curse, he missed the championship in each final...

Until 2002, in the final of the 424th Quidditch World Cup, Bulgaria lost to Egypt 450 to 300. After the game, a tearful Klum announced his retirement.

This year is 2014, and Krum’s children have also gone to school in Durmstrang. He no longer has the burden of life, so he decided to return to the competition.

"My goal is to win the World Cup before I die."

Ten minutes ago, Krum said this to Ginny who was conducting a pre-match interview.

Ginny, who was looking at Harry and Krum with a smile on her lips, accidentally turned her head, only to find that her brother was still sitting on his seat, his brows twisted into a knot, and his mouth was so pouted that he could hang a kettle on it.

"Ron, why are you sitting there and not moving?"

She quickly walked over and patted Ron on the head, "It's been so long since I last met Klum. Are you polite?"

Hermione turned back to look at him and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"How many years have passed, are you still thinking about Victor asking me to be his dance partner?" She said with a smile on her face.
