Chapter 281 Interesting Camp
Three Broomsticks, Ino was leisurely drinking grass juice beside the bar.
And the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley, far away, was really bustling with people.
As the facade of Diagon Alley, you can see all kinds of scenery in the Leaky Cauldron at this moment, with different skin colors, different races, and different costumes...
It seems that wizards from all over the world have poured in.
And this is just a small part.
That's how it is. Some people are willing to travel to England in advance, and some people choose to use a portkey to teleport at the last minute.
But no matter what choice, it can't affect an established fact-the wizards' love for Quidditch.
...
As time goes by, after entering August, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and even strong convective rainstorms come from time to time.
The short rain poured for less than a quarter of an hour, not only did it not make the weather cool, but it formed an extreme hot and humid weather.
Of course, all this refers to densely populated places such as London or Diagon Alley.
In the moonlit village of St. Catchpole, the cool evening breeze roams in the traceless wilderness, and the knee-high green grass sways in the breeze, like undulating waves.
In this leisurely and pleasant wilderness, a crooked house is particularly attractive.
The warm lights flashing in the irregular windows seem to echo the twinkling stars in the sky.
The Weasley family's burrow.
"I can't believe it! The Bulgarian team can make it to the finals."
Arthur sighed again, although he couldn't remember how many times he had brought up this topic.
"Dear, if you have time to chat, why don't you go to the Ministry to help keep an eye on it! Percy hasn't been home for three consecutive days!"
Hearing her husband talking about Quidditch again, Mrs. Weasley looked at the clock in the burrow with some concern, and the hands were still firmly pointing to work.
"It's okay. I'm relieved that Percy is with old Barty! Besides, their company will bear the brunt of the World Cup."
Arthur didn't care about his wife's worries at all. He could understand that young people were devoted to their careers.
"Maybe you're right, but he...ah!" Mrs. Weasley didn't say anything else. Her sigh seemed to contain everything.
She hoped that her children would take the right path and become excellent, but she didn't want them to work too hard.
It was already night, and she didn't even know if Percy had dinner on time.
...
Diagon Alley.
In a closed shop.
Percy was holding a crystal clear wine glass, and around him were many well-dressed young wizards.
It was obvious that a small dinner was being held here at the moment.
"Since everything is arranged, I'll leave. Enjoy it!"
In the crowd, Draco put down his wine glass and slowly stood up.
"Oh, don't be so disappointing! My Master Malfoy!" Marcus said jokingly.
A small joke made everyone around him look teasing.
"It's not a spoiler, but I should go home!" Draco's eyes moved, and under the light, his long platinum hair reflected a different brilliance.
"I have already handed in my answer sheet for the things I am responsible for. The shop, the venue and the initial capital investment, the next step is up to you!"
The slow speed of speech and the calm expression made many people subconsciously think of old Malfoy.
However, the old Malfoy here is not Lucius, but Lucius's father, a helmsman admired by many people.
At the same time, a slightly hoarse female voice sounded in the crowd:
"In this case, I can go back too. You will see the changes in Knockturn Alley in a few days."
The speaker was Mina Burke, the former head girl of Slytherin, who has graduated for two years.
Perhaps when talking about smugglers, they think of Abbott and wands, they think of Ollivander, but as long as Knockturn Alley is mentioned, Burke is always unavoidable.
"You are really..." Marcus was speechless. They left after finishing their business. These two people were simply weird.
Percy also felt speechless. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the two leaving, but he felt that some things were really unfair.
Although they were all the 28 sacred families, the Weasley family really had nothing.
But it didn't matter. The Weasley family would change. Percy believed in this more than ever before, especially after George and Fred were responsible for the later improvement of the video mirror.
If the video mirror is compared to a sailing ocean-going ship, then George and Fred are the people with cards in the whole ship.
And he is the spokesperson for his two younger brothers and the Weasley family, responsible for socializing and socializing. After all, some things need to be fought for by oneself.
Thinking of this, Percy picked up the wine glass again, and a formal smile also rose on his face.
...
Time is always fair.
Because it will not slow down its pace due to any external factors.
In a week, under the unremitting efforts of the Ministry of Magic, the entire venue that can accommodate 100,000 people has been built.
Although the competition is still a few days away, many wizards have already chosen to camp near the venue in advance.
For this situation, everyone from Fudge to the interns in the Ministry of Magic agrees with it.
Now they can finally get together, which saves them from worrying every day, fearing that some wizard will go crazy and cause an uproar in the Muggle world.
Therefore, outside the Quidditch stadium, the Ministry of Magic arranged a large Muggle-repelling spell with an incredibly large range of magic to ensure that there would be no Muggles within dozens of miles.
On the vast plain.
There are thousands of tents stationed, and at a glance, there are only endless colorful strips and noisy crowds.
Although most of the tents here are the same, just like hyacinths blooming in a rose garden, many tents also show their personality.
Privately added chimneys, windmills, sleds, and even people installed small fountains on the top of the tents... There are countless alternative decorations.
Ino was in the noisy camp, and this scene that looked like a medieval market really made him feel a little familiar.
Especially the hawkers pushing carts, just like the candy carts on the Hogwarts Express, but there are more of them here and the goods are richer.
Pies, chocolates, souvenirs, telescopes, Irish shamrock badges, mini Quidditch dolls...
In short, every cart is a magical blind box, because you don't know where the vendors pushing the carts come from, let alone what kind of goods are in them.
In just a few minutes, Ino has seen several special vendors, such as a white strong man pushing a cart of vodka, and a black girl hanging all kinds of bone ornaments on the cart...
In the huge camp, there are so many vivid and interesting scenes.
But what surprised him the most was that many people were shooting with video lenses, which was unexpected.
