Chapter 82: Theory of Ten Wins and Ten Losses

Aurors were sent out to search the gymnasium and investigate any suspicious wizards.

They looked very powerful, but nothing was found until the end of the award ceremony.

This is normal... Not to mention that the witch dared to attack, she had a perfect plan to escape. Even if she was still in the crowd, it would be strange if the Aurors could catch the attacker just by looking at Fudge's order not to "make a big fuss"!

Of course, it was not completely fruitless.

When the Aurors searched the boxes in the gymnasium, they caught many male and female wizards and male and female wizards who met at the banquet and took the opportunity to discuss ball skills.

Fudge also saw his wife and sister-in-law in the crowd... Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.

But the two of them insisted that they came up to run, and what could Fudge do but choose to forgive.

Mrs. Karst also did not get much information.

As Rolf guessed, she was controlled by the Imperius Curse and she knew nothing.

So an attack could only end like this.

Fudge actually wanted to conduct a big investigation, but if the action was big, the news would inevitably spread.

And Scamander was attacked at the award ceremony, which was definitely a major scandal of the Ministry of Magic, and it was a big blow to Fudge's prestige.

Moreover, it was still the Quidditch World Cup. Once the news got out, it would cause panic among the audience... Would the tickets still be sold, would the game still be held?

For Fudge now, stability was paramount, and he could only make Rove suffer again, asking him not to make a fuss and to understand the difficulties of the Ministry of Magic.

As "compensation", the news that Rove received two Merlin Order medals became the headlines of the next day.

Merlin Order was an organization founded by Merlin in the Middle Ages, and its earliest members came from King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.

After King Arthur's death, Merlin Order was disbanded.

Later, in order to honor those wizards who made great contributions to the magical society... The Wizengamot took on this responsibility and formed a temporary Merlin Order every year to award prizes.

In each vote, only if more than two-thirds of the votes are met can a wizard be awarded the Order of Merlin.

Therefore, it is very difficult for a wizard to obtain the Order of Merlin. Even Dumbledore, who is strong, won a first-class medal only after defeating Grindelwald in 1945.

Rolf got a first-class medal when he was about to turn fourteen, and even two medals, which was unprecedented... It caused a great sensation in the UK.

It can only be said that this is a very bold decision. Although controversial, it has also raised Rolf's fame to an unprecedented level.

There have even been newspaper discussions about who is more talented, Scamander or Dumbledore when he was young... This kind of comparison makes Rolf blush.

The Quidditch World Cup is also in full swing, but British fans don't pay much attention to it.

There is no way... The results are too bad!

A total of four British teams entered the Quidditch World Cup.

Before the game, everyone was generally optimistic. Some Quidditch experts even pointed out that the four teams that went out were the strongest British teams in history and were likely to win the top four.

But the England team, which was highly expected by everyone, was eliminated in the round of 16 and returned home in disgrace, directly creating the worst record of the host country... a blow to most British fans.

Then, in the quarterfinals draw, Scotland, Ireland and Wales were not drawn together, avoiding civil war, which was also called a perfect draw.

Fans are looking forward to the three British teams to join hands in the semifinals and encircle Bulgaria together.

Then... Scotland lost to Luxembourg by a large score, and Wales lost to Uganda, and stopped in the quarterfinals together.

Only Ireland made it to the semifinals with difficulty.

The fans were completely silent, and they no longer fantasized about the final being a civil war between the British team... Such a joke.

Fortunately, the Irish team was still competitive. In this pessimistic atmosphere, they strongly defeated Peru and successfully met Bulgaria in the final.

British fans were excited again and enthusiastically discussed the upcoming final.

Every day, major newspapers analyze historical records.

But the last time they met was in the group stage 250 years ago. At that time, both sides were eliminated in the round of 16.

This does not have much reference value.

Experts can only compare the teams that have played against each other and make indirect arguments about strength and weakness.

There are also commentators who make judgments:

Ireland has ten wins and Bulgaria has ten losses!

Of course, British fans did not forget to whip England. In every radio question session, fans asked similar questions:

Please select the worst Quidditch national team and explain why it is England.

In this warm atmosphere, Rove did not encounter any more attacks, and it was naturally impossible to catch the attacker.

But it doesn't matter... In his box, there is a sheep-eating beast, which is a blood-sucking animal and is extremely sensitive to blood.

As long as it sucks the blood of an animal, it can smell the smell of prey within a range of more than ten kilometers.

After Rove let the sheep-eating beast swallow the blood he got, as long as the witch dared to appear in the Quidditch World Cup again, he would definitely find her.

Also disappeared were the mascot keepers who were Death Eaters. They had asked for leave long ago and were nowhere to be found, which made Rove alert.

He remembered that in the original time and space, a group of Death Eaters attacked the camp late at night on the day when the finals ended.

The only good news is that Rolf finally waited for the person he had been thinking about... Barty Crouch.

...

...

Walking in the crowded camp, Sirius and Lupin were a little absent-minded for a while.

Or rather, they had not recovered from the shock.

When passing by a pyramid-shaped tent, a little boy about two years old, holding a wand in his hand, poked a slug on the grass.

The slug slowly swelled to the size of a sausage, and then exploded with a snap. The crying and shouting finally pulled the two back from the shock.

Sirius looked at the boy walking in front and whispered, "Rolf, are you sure... Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive?"

"Sure." Rolf nodded and smiled, "Why, you two don't believe it?"

"It's really hard to believe." Sirius smiled bitterly:

"I know Barty Crouch. He will definitely throw aside anything that threatens his reputation, including his wife and son.

It's hard for me to imagine that he would use illegal means to rescue his Death Eater son."

"Sirius, people are complicated animals." Rolf whispered:

"Thirteen years ago, could you imagine that Peter Pettigrew would betray you and James and surrender to the Death Eaters?"

Sirius fell silent.

Lupin looked at Rolf's back, and his eyes became complicated for a while.

When everyone believed that Sirius was a traitor, it was Rolf who discovered that Peter Pettigrew was still alive and overturned Sirius's case.

When everyone believed that Barty Crouch Jr. had died long ago, it was Rolf who stood up and said... No, he is still alive!

For some reason, Lupin looked at Rolf's back as if he was looking at Dumbledore... They both had a calm and composed attitude, as if they knew everything and were in control of everything.

The young man's back was not tall, but it made people feel inexplicably at ease.

The three of them soon came to a tent, and Rolf rang the doorbell.

Soon, a house elf walked out of the tent, wearing a tea towel for wiping tea sets and a pair of long, bat-like ears.

"Hello, my name is Scamander." Rolf smiled and said, "I have an appointment with Mr. Crouch. Is he in the tent now?"

"Yes."

The house elf named Winky opened the door curtain and let the three people walk into the tent.
