Hogwarts executioner

Back to the serious topic, Fu Rong was also much more serious, and she was a little puzzled and said, "Mr. Nicolas May has lived for 600 years. He will definitely live a long life. What chance do I have?"

William glanced behind Fleur, but said nothing.

Fleur said obediently: "Okay, I won't ask anymore and let my father check. William, when can you come to France to see me?"

William said: "Well, I have to arrange the time for this. Something happened at home, otherwise I will come to Bordeaux to see you at Christmas."

Fleur asked: "What is it that even I can't tell you?"

William looked into Fleur's eyes, and finally had to say: "My parents are separated, and my father cheated on her. Maybe they will get divorced in the future."

"Oh God!" Fleur covered her mouth, looked at William and apologized: "I'm sorry, William, I shouldn't have forced you."

William said: "It doesn't matter, this matter has passed."

Fleur was confused: "Why can't they tolerate each other like my parents?"

William smiled and said, "What would you do if I kissed another witch?"

Fleur waved her wand in front of the two-way mirror and said seriously with a small face: "I will kill her."

William pretended to be frightened, and said cautiously, "Not even a chance?"

"No." Fleur said with a smile: "William, you are mine! If you dare to have any bad dealings with the witches of Hogwarts, I will definitely let them know how powerful I am."

William smiled and said, "Yes, Fleur, you're almost terrifying me now."

The two chatted about alchemy and potions for a while, and after a while Elizabeth walked in wearing white pajamas. Standing behind Fleur, he asked in English: "Have you ever played wizard chess?"

William was a little puzzled. Furong is also a bully in elementary school, and she doesn't seem to be someone who would waste time on this. He said, "No, I don't like spending time on these things. What's the matter, Furong likes this?"

Elizabeth smiled and said, "No, she doesn't like it at all, you two are really alike. You don't know how much I like Wizard Chess, but every time I can only find the classmate next door."

William smiled and said nothing, people with lofty goals would not waste time on such boring games, they would just hurry up and move towards their goals.

Fu Rong interjected: "Elizabeth, think about your grades. Instead of spending so much time on Wizard Chess, you might as well spend it on studying."

Elizabeth shook her head lightly and said, "Fu Rong, you are so stupid, I'm helping you."

Seeing that Fleur didn't understand, she sighed and said: "William, I suggest you learn to play wizard chess. This year's international wizard chess competition will start in Paris on February 2th. You can sign up now and then take leave to come to France."

If the Quidditch game is a money-burning game that requires a lot of Galleons to support the purchase of expensive broomsticks and uninterrupted high-frequency game training, only the club can really afford it.

Then Wizard Chess is a popular game suitable for all ages, rich and poor.

Because of these characteristics, the Quidditch game has been included in the support targets of the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and team competitions between countries in the form of national teams have been established.

The Wizard Chess competition is treated like an illegitimate child. Without the support of the Ministry of Magic, one can only sign up to participate as an individual.

But there is also an advantage, that is, there are very few people who can afford to play the high-stakes Quidditch game, but with wizard chess, anyone who is a wizard can participate.

Even well-off families in the four major houses of Hogwarts can afford a set of wizard chess, and Ron is the leader among the first-year students.

It is rumored that Cedric is the champion of Hufflepuff House's private wizard chess competition. However, the competition is an activity between students, and there is no official participation or recognition from the school.

According to William's memory in Diagon Alley, the price of an ordinary stone wizard's chess is less than 1 Galleons.

This has also led to the number of participants in the French International Wizards Chess Competition hitting new highs after World War II. The scale of the competition is getting bigger and bigger, and the influence is getting higher and higher. There is a faint tendency to overtake the Quidditch game.

"February 2?" William looked at Fu Rong who was sitting on a chair pretending not to care, and said teasingly, "I have to ask the professors, they may not agree."

"No way?" Elizabeth said in surprise, "Our school had a five-day holiday because of this, and they especially encouraged us and our families to participate. Although the chance of entering the top 100 was very small, we still promised to get the top 100 place. The promise of a Nimbus 2000 reward."

"Oh, it's hard to win the first place?" William asked.

"Of course, wizards from all over the world who love wizard chess will participate. Since 1965, the number of participants in each session has exceeded . Countless smart wizards will come here to compete with each other." Elizabeth said proudly.

"Well, that's really hard," William agreed.

The probability that civilians who have no wizards in their three generations of ancestors will awaken their magic power is about one in 10,000, which is much smaller than the rate of highly intelligent scientists and senior engineers.

However, due to multiple wars, the number of civilian wizards increased dramatically. After the base of wild wizards expanded, a wave of wizard demographic dividends ushered in.

The total population of Britain is only 57 million, but there are about 300,000 wizards.

Due to the restrictions of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts can only accept awakened genius wizards under the age of eleven, while the vast majority of children from awakened wild wizard families above the age of eleven can only choose private tutors and become assistants to some wizards. Work on behalf of students.

Or simply because he didn't understand the secrecy law and used magic indiscriminately, he became a prisoner of Akazban.

The competition involving wizards is already huge enough for the International Federation of Wizards to personally control it. This is probably the reason why the two major wizarding countries in Asia did not participate.

The last Quidditch World Cup had 100,000 spectators, and tickets were extremely popular, but the total number of players in the competition was only over 500.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. William thought about the number of "50,000 participants" and immediately became interested in this competition.

He is not interested in trophies, but is tempted by the influence and honor of a championship.

"Maybe that's a good entry point."

William's eyes flashed, mentally calculating the benefits he could gain from participating.

"It seems that the plan needs to be advanced."

Strength is fundamental in the wizarding world, but soft power such as honor is also important.

Just look at Harry Potter and you will know that without the savior aura secretly created by Dumbledore and others, he is actually an ordinary wizard with some talent in magic control.

Yes, his talent is actually very ordinary.

At least, in terms of learning, magic, etc., Cedric, who was born as a mixed-race wizard, was better.

But why is Harry Potter protected and respected by more people?

Naturally, it was the Order of the Phoenix who was behind this.

You know, no one can be sure whether Voldemort is alive or dead.

How did it become known that Harry Potter survived?

Of course it was a good thing Dumbledore did.

Soft power is needed between countries, and between people.

Honor, image, reputation, etc. are a person's best business card.

Now, William thought he could pull out a new business card.

Such as the International Wizarding Weapon Competition Champion or something.
