Chapter 7: Before the Quidditch World Cup
However, no matter how important it is, it is not as important as the upcoming Quidditch World Cup, but the matter of the Quidditch World Cup does not need to be handled by the British Ministry of Magic. The www.biquge.info spent considerable time on the tournament organizing committee, and instead of returning to the office, Holly sneaked out of the Ministry of Magic and into the Muggle world.
On summer evenings, on the streets of London, Holly changed into a refreshing outfit and wandered aimlessly through the streets. The sun had set, but the ground was still exuding a trace of heat, and the pedestrians on the street hurried to get on the bus, ready to rush to their homes in the suburbs, the horns of the cars on the road were honking one after another, and the polite gentlemen who went to work were secretly cursing the traffic jam.

The Weasleys, since Percy went to the Ministry of Magic and came back, seemed to be a little abnormal, seemed to be chattering, and had been hiding in the house (although they had been before), even if Fred and George made a lot of noise in the house like a prank, which disappointed the twin brothers, but correspondingly, the twin brothers still received sound attacks from Mrs. Weasley again and again.
Similarly, the two girls spend a lot less time in the public area than the other boys, and most of the time they can only be seen during meal time, and even during meal time, the two girls are more biting their ears and talking to each other.
But...... When everyone arrived at the camp next to the Quiddy pitch, everyone's attention was drawn together.
Camp 1 is one of the larger camps, and it is used to host people from all over the world who come to see Quidditch. Both the Weasleys and Holly need to settle here, rest and wait for the game to begin.
The camp itself was run by Muggles, and even though wizards tried to dress like Muggles as much as possible, there were still people wearing all sorts of wizarding robes. Not to mention the fools who hold Muggle coins and don't know how to pay for them, there is even a sizable percentage of wizards trying to use Golden Galleons to pay for the rental of Muggle camps.
When Holly and Erinka arrive at the camp together, they can see all sorts of wizards walking back and forth in the camp. After a brief conversation with the Muggles guarding the camp, the two walked straight to the side of the camp, where there was a large tent at the edge of the camp, some distance from the other people's camps, but it was cleverly hidden behind the surrounding tents, and it was difficult to spot the situation without looking closer.
The tent had been set up here in advance by Holly through her family's connections in the Muggle world, and you couldn't have had two girls set up their own tents, especially in a messy environment like the one outside.
After getting into the tent, washing and changing clothes, Holly and Erinka began to wander around the camp. With such a large event, there are sure to be a large number of young wizards and their parents, and as long as you wander around the camp, you are sure to meet a few familiar faces.
Along the way, there are little boys who secretly poke around with adult wands, and there are also little witches who fly over the grass on toy broomsticks. The tents in the camp were also used by everyone to make various decorations. For example, Irish fans directly decorate the appearance of the tent as a clover-covered appearance, which is extremely realistic under the effect of magic, and only the open entrance to the tent tells you that this is a tent, not a grass.
Bulgaria's supporters, on the other hand, were even more brazen in plastering Viktor Klum's posters directly on their tents. The roaring man in the poster looks a little arrogant.
"Hmm...... Looks pretty good, at least for now it doesn't look safe and there's nothing wrong with that, though...... There are a lot of loopholes. Erinka said as she walked.
"yes, but ...... It's just now, and when the tournament begins, the Aurors and other wizards, who use a lot of it to keep it safe, will have to go to the playing field to maintain the spell that banishes Muggles. Well......" Holly whispered.
"So you found such an inconspicuous corner?"
"Otherwise, let's see, maybe something will happen, but I'm not sure...... But what...... Now that I saw the savior, I thought, something must have happened. Holly said, pointing to the savior trio at the faucet in the distance.
"That's right. Erinka didn't seem to be in much of a mood.
"Let's go, let's go back and rest before the game starts. Seeing this, Holly interrupted the two of them wandering around the camp.

In the afternoon, there was a sense of excitement throughout the camp, and the scorching sun did not diminish the excitement in the slightest. When night falls, a large number of salesmen appear in all corners of the camp, selling all sorts of goods: glowing rosettes - green for Ireland and red for Bulgaria, green hats decorated with shamrocks, Bulgarian scarves decorated with lions, various miniature models that can fly through the air, and models of each team member who can walk in the palm of their hands. Of course, there are also telescopes needed to watch the game in large venues - you can set the focal length, and you can even slow down the camera, but the price is a bit high.
However, these things do not need to be bought by Heley, and there are all kinds of similar things on the small table in the tent, and the things produced by the manufacturer must be given to the boss.
As night fell, there was a loud bang somewhere over the forest, green and red lanterns lit up among the trees, and a road was revealed in the light of the fire. There was a commotion in the camp crowd, and people became more excited.
Each holding their own belongings, everyone hurried down the lantern-lit path to the depths of the forest. Thousands of people were moving towards the same goal at this moment, surrounded by all kinds of sounds—shouts, laughter, and songs. Almost everyone was swept away by the excitement.
At the end of the trail, there is a huge gymnasium. Big, is the first impression of everyone when they see this gymnasium, because to welcome wizards from all over the world, the gymnasium is designed to accommodate 100,000 people to watch the game at the same time, in order to build this gymnasium, the Ministry of Magic began to prepare a year in advance, and even set up a powerful confusion charm around the place to interfere with the Muggles' visit.
"Let's go?" said Holly, pulling Luna behind her, to Erinka on the side.
"Hmm. ”
In the path behind him, there were still wizards pouring out, and then they rushed to the entrances and exits in all directions.
"First class, top floor, good luck, girls. The ticket inspector said to the three of them after looking at the tickets.
