440. Moldy country guy

Not long after their dinner ended, two new guests came to the camp.

Ludo Balman, Director of the Magical Sports Division, and Barty Crouch, Director of the International Magical Cooperation Division.

To be precise, Ludo came here first, and Crouch followed him to find him.

"Sit down and rest, Barty." Balmain said happily, patting the grass beside him.

"No, thank you, Ludo." Crouch said, with a hint of impatientness in his voice. He also saw Lynn, but he didn't know that he was the mastermind who really gained his "friendship".

After the arrival of these two directors of the Ministry of Magic, Lynn also shut up and pretended to be transparent. He didn't want to leave too much impression on these Ministry of Magic.

"I've been looking for you everywhere. The Bulgarians insist that we add twelve more seats to the top floor box."

"Oh, so they want this!" Bagman said disgustedly, "I thought that guy was going to borrow a pair of tweezers from me. The accent was too heavy."

"Mr. Crouch!" Percy was so excited that he couldn't breathe evenly. He always looked like this, especially Bati Crouch was the wizard he admired the most in the Ministry of Magic.

He leaned over and made a bowing gesture, which made him look like a hunchback: "Do you want a cup of tea?"

Crouch looked at Percy in a little surprised, as if thinking about something: "Okay--thank you, Weatherby."

Fred and George almost squirted into the cup with tea. Percy's ears turned pink and pretended to be burying his head to take care of the teapot.

He called Percy's last name wrong.

"By the way, there's something I've always wanted to tell you, Arthur," Crouch said, his sharp eyes falling on Mr. Weasley again. "Ali Basher provoked you, and he wanted to talk to you about your regulations on your embargo on the fly carpet."

Mr. Weasley sighed heavily.

"I sent him a letter to him last week and talked about it specifically. I've told him a hundred times that in the UK, carpets are defined as Muggle crafts in the banned magic items, but will he listen?"

"I doubt he won't," Crouch said, taking a cup of tea that Percy handed him, "he can't wait to exit the flying carpet here."

"But brooms are the mainstream means of transportation for European wizards. Moreover, the current flying broom market is controlled by Lungaide Company. Basheer does not have the strength to compete with Lungaide Company." Bagman said.

"But he thinks there is room for family transportation," Crouch said, "but he doesn't move his elm-like head at all. Think about it, even if the flying carpet can expand the market in the UK, will Lungarde give it to them again?"

From his words, it seems that he has any indescribable relationship with Lungarde Company.

"Are you so busy lately? "Bagmann asked relaxed and happily.

"Busy," Crouch said dryly, "It's not easy to organize and arrange door keys on five continents."

"Have you recruited a lot of people in the International Magic Things Department recently? There is not enough people?" Mr. Weasley asked.

Crouch raised his eyebrows at Mr. Weasley.

"I wish I could recruit more people. I needed to spread them all over the world, and even Antarctica had to arrange Floor Network."

"What else? How did you prepare for the subsequent event?"

"We promise not to announce it to the public until all details-"

"Oh, the details!" Bagman interrupted, waved disapprovingly, like driving away a bunch of floaters. "They signed, are they? They agreed, are they? The children of Hogwarts will know about it soon."

"No! They signed it, but there were extra people involved!" Crouch said with a frown. "To be honest, I am worried about this matter recently. Should I agree to their request?"

"Are those bad sages? Oh! You shouldn't have a headache for them. You can definitely put their request on the spot. The countrymen want to come to the city to see the world. We should give them a chance. After all, we are all generous British gentlemen-"

"Ludo, you should know that we need to meet the Bulgarians." Crouch said sternly, interrupting Bagman's head, "Thank you for your tea, Weatherby."

He stuffed a teacup he hadn't drunk back into Percy's hand and waited for Lu Duo to get up.

Ludo struggled to stand up and drank the cup of tea in one sip. It seemed that he hadn't had enough time to talk about it, but some topics were indeed not suitable to continue talking here.

"See you later!" he said, "You guys are in the top box with me - I'm the commentator of the game!"

He waved goodbye, and Barty Crouch nodded faintly, and then both of them disappeared.

"Is there anything wrong with Hogwarts now, Dad?" Fred asked immediately, "What did they just say?"

"You will know soon," Mr. Weasley said with a smile.

"This is a secret, and it will be known until the ministry decides to make it public." Percy said seriously, "It is right that Mr. Crouch does not easily disclose the secret."

"Oh, shut up, Weatherby," said Fred.

George turned his gaze to Lynn, who had never spoken, and he asked tentatively.

"I guess Lynn must know what's going on."

Percy shook his head and said it was impossible: "Even the ministry did not disclose this matter, and Lynn did not have his family working in the Ministry of Magic, so he could not know."

Lynn said thoughtfully.

"It's about that event..."

Everyone present suddenly had their eyes wide open.

"What event?" George and Fried urged Lynn to continue and Mr. Weasley stopped him.

"I don't know where you learned it, but you can't tell them Lynn that this matter cannot be made public until everything is arranged."

Only then did Lynn come to his senses, he nodded to Mr. Weasley.

"I know Mr. Weasley will not talk about this."

Harry, Ron and the twins were wailing, begging Mr. Weasley to tell them only these people that they promised not to spread the matter.

Lynn was still thinking about the conversation between Crouch and Bagman just now.

He knows that the Triumph Championship will be held again in Hogwarts, but in the original book, this is a competitive competition held by three European schools together. What does it have to do with the Molder people?
