When they returned to Number 12 Grimmauld Square, Vivi had a conversation with Harry.
The gist was that she wanted to take the lead in organizing an international Quidditch school tournament among various magic schools, with each school sending a team to represent them.
"... That's basically the situation." Vivi adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, "The competition aims to promote exchanges between different schools. The Triwizard Tournament set a good precedent, and I think a Quidditch match can have a similar effect."
"That's great!" Harry said excitedly, "A Quidditch match, and an international one among schools. I think it would be a lot of fun."
"I've invited a total of twelve magic schools," Vivi continued, "According to the format, I plan to divide them into several groups first, determine the winners within each group, and then hold knockout rounds."
"I think," Harry suddenly said, "could there be an opportunity for revival during the knockout rounds? After all, you see, just twelve magic schools are really too few..."
"How so?" Vivi adjusted her glasses, showing an interested look.
"It's like this..." Harry organized his thoughts, then said, "During the knockout round, divide it into the winners group and the losers group—teams with the highest points in the group stage will be placed in the winners group, and those with lower points won't be directly eliminated but will be placed in the losers group."
"As for teams failing in the winners group, they won't be directly eliminated either but will fall into the losers group; teams eliminated in the losers group won't be so lucky, they will be directly eliminated. The final match will determine the champion between the winners group and the losers group champions. What do you think of this schedule?"
After listening to Harry's suggestion, Vivi thought about it carefully and felt it could be adopted.
"Not bad." Vivi nodded approvingly, "This can indeed extend the event and more fairly determine the winner and loser. I think it's totally doable."
"However..." Harry suddenly said, "What if Fudge doesn't want Hogwarts to participate in this tournament?"
"He will." Vivi said confidently.
"Why are you so sure?" Harry asked suspiciously.
"I'll give him an offer he can't refuse." Vivi smiled at Harry, "You don't need to worry about the British Ministry of Magic; what you need to worry about now is forming a school team at Hogwarts... This might not be an easy task for the four houses at Hogwarts."
"Alright." Harry shrugged and said.
The news soon appeared in the newspaper, and after being published in the Prophet Daily, Angelina's letter arrived at Number 12 Grimmauld Square that evening.
"Oh, it's a letter from Angelina."
Harry received the letter during dinner and winked at George.
George made a vomiting gesture but still stretched his ears towards Harry's direction.
"Angelina wants me to take the lead in forming a school team." Harry said after putting down the letter.
George shook his head, picked up a sandwich, and said, "No, mate—I think Angelina means that only if you lead in forming the school team, our Gryffindor players might be selected. If the Slytherin people take the lead, then we definitely won't have a chance to play."
"Is that so?" Harry said noncommittally, placing the letter on the table, "Then they really have a death wish!"
"Of course." George and Fred said, "We could also step back from the batter position. After all, we really can't learn the Slytherin people's style, though we don't like having such opponents, but if we could have such teammates, it wouldn't be something hard to accept."
"Your standards are really flexible." Ron said, curling his lips, "Just Crabbe and Gall, those two big gorillas, how much accuracy can you expect from them?"
"True." Fred agreed.
"But, which schools are participating?" George asked.
"A total of twelve magic schools." Harry shrugged and said.
"Twelve?" Ron suddenly said, "Aren't there only eight magic schools in the world?"
"Oh, Ron." Hermione shook her head beside him, "There are only eight known magic schools in the world, but there are some countries that don't want to reveal where their schools are, at least it's like that for Sirius. We still don't know what Sirius's magic school is called or where it is."
"Oh, I actually know this." Harry said to Hermione with a smile, "Sirius's magic school is called Jade Void Magic Academy, located in the Kunlun Mountain Range."
This was something he chatted about offhandedly with Professor Hao Ying.
"What about the other schools?" Hermione inquired, maintaining her good habit of asking when she didn't understand.
"Oh, there are many more." Little Sirius enumerated familiarly, "We know that in the Pyrenees Mountains in Southern France, there is a Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, while the Durmstrang Institute is located in the Scandinavian Peninsula. Our Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scotland is known to everyone. The Soviet Union's Magic School was called Kodoslorez... Oh my mistake, now it's called Russia... As for Japan, their magic school is called Magic Institute; and Africa's Vagado Magic School is located on Moon Mountain in Uganda; South America also has a magic school called Castrobusch in Brazil... As for North America's magic school, it's called Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in Massachusetts, USA."
