Chapter 271 Quidditch World Cup

"Will that guy be okay? I mean, this is the third time he has been 'Obliviated' today, isn't it?"

Penelope asked worriedly, holding Mike's arm.

Dick hurried over upon hearing this. He had done this kind of job of receiving VIPs more than once or twice, so he was very experienced in dealing with VIPs like Penelope who had sympathy for Muggles.

"Please rest assured, our staff are all professionals. They will never let that Muggle get hurt in the slightest."

Mike nodded without comment, and continued to move forward with Penelope.

In his opinion, Dick in front of him was completely lying. Even the first-year students of Hogwarts knew that frequently using the Obliviate spell on the same object would cause confusion in their memory and even a significant decline in their memory. He didn't think that the staff of the Ministry of Magic had the ability to eliminate the sequelae. It

would be possible if Lockhart, the master of the Obliviate spell, came to do it.

But he was not going to care about the Muggle.

After all, the secrets of the supernatural world must never be revealed. If the staff are not allowed to erase the memory of the Muggle hunter, then the only option left is to kill him.

Penelope thought differently from Mike. Perhaps because she was born a Muggle, she was obviously very concerned about the Muggle hunter just now.

But there was no way. Mike obviously had no intention of interfering in this matter, so as a "sensible" girl, she could only shut up.

Under Dick's leadership, Mike and Penelope soon came to a camping area full of tents.

This area covers a large area, and although the ground looks like grass, it is still made of wood when stepped on. It must have been reinforced by Transfiguration.

In addition, the tents here are very sparsely arranged, and the appearance of each tent is very delicate. The snow-white silk is dotted with many golden patterns, and the door curtains are even embroidered with the Ministry of Magic logo with various colored silk threads. The

distance between the tents can be said to be just right, which will not make it too difficult for people in each tent to visit each other, nor will it make people feel that their privacy will be violated.

In the center of the camp, there are many items that guests may need, such as barbecue grills, wine barrels, lounge chairs, parasols, etc. The service is perfect.

What surprised Mike and Penelope the most was the structure inside the tent.

According to Dick, countless traceless extension spells were applied to the inside of these tents in order to expand the space inside to the extreme.

The opened up space has become the canvas for the top wizard architects in the UK.

This led to Mike being stunned by the luxurious decorations when he entered the tent that looked not much bigger than an ordinary tent. He almost thought he had come to a European castle.

Dick looked at Mike who was a little dazed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.

Of course, this was not a mocking smile. He did not mean to laugh at Mike for being a country bumpkin who had just come to the city. He knew very well that the guests who were qualified to stay here would not lack such luxurious accommodation. Even if they showed a look of shock on their faces, it was only because the accommodation level provided by the event organizer was far beyond their expectations.

This is the best compliment for those who work hard.

But he also knew that it would be better for him not to laugh at this moment, after all, the guests would most likely think that he was laughing at them.

However, he really couldn't help it!

Mike looked at Dick, whose face was twisted from trying to hold back his laughter, and said directly to Penelo:

"It's still early before the game starts. Do you want to go shopping and visit our friends?"

"Okay."

Perhaps women are born to like shopping. When Mike proposed to take Penelo shopping, Penelo, who was originally a little depressed because of the Muggle hunter before, became excited. With a flick of the magic wand, she turned the high shoes on her feet into a pair of women's sandals that could also match his evening dress.

"Let's go!"

Seeing Penelo's impatient look, Dick was very tactful and lifted the curtain of the tent for the two of them. After the two of them went out, he told them the location of other gathering places and the opening time of the game.

After that, he quietly stepped aside and bowed his head to see Mike and Penelo off.

"The service here is really thoughtful."

After walking a long way, Penelope looked back and saw Dick still standing there watching them, so she sighed.

Mike smiled coldly and said nothing.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of service. After all, it was exchanged for 100,000 gold galleons.

The two of them walked slowly and soon came to the camping area for ordinary tickets.

Unlike the VIP area, the road here is an extremely ordinary mud and stone road, and the distance between the tents is also very close, giving people a crowded feeling. Mike estimated that the interiors of those tents with different shapes are also very simple, at least not as good as theirs.

But there are also benefits to being crowded. At least it is much more lively here than in the VIP area.

People come and go on the spacious stone road, and people of all skin colors and body shapes are communicating with each other in a friendly manner.

In addition, there are many people pushing carts to sell souvenirs of the Quidditch World Cup. Although they sell those crudely made gadgets on them at a very high price, there are still many people around the carts.

Penelope, who had sharp eyes, seemed to have discovered something and nudged Mike with her elbow.

Mike, who was observing a beautiful purple tent, immediately followed her gaze and saw the Weasley family and Harry and others also crowded in front of a cart to choose souvenirs.

"Hey! Harry, what a coincidence!"

Harry suddenly heard Mike's voice, and he looked up in the crowd. He looked around for a long time before he saw Mike not far away.

"Mike..."

Harry stopped talking halfway, and the smile on his face froze, because he saw Penelope holding Mike's arm next to him.

Harry dared to swear that this was definitely the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

Merlin's beard! Penelope was beautiful enough in her school uniform, but she didn't expect that she could be so beautiful after wearing an evening gown and dressing up!

Harry's abnormality immediately attracted the attention of others. Ron turned around in confusion and immediately showed a pig-like look like Harry.

Seeing this, Hermione pouted again, stamped her feet in indignation, and then seemed to think of something. She turned around suddenly, turned her back to Mike and began to stroke her hair with her hands, as if she wanted to straighten out the messy hair.

Compared with the two of them, Mr. Weasley, George, and Fred's reactions were much better. They only paused for a moment before recovering.

"Mike, Penelope! Oh! We are so stupid. We should have thought that you would come too!"

"That's right!"

George and Fred excitedly rushed over and hugged Mike and Penelope.

They hugged Mike very hard, as if they wanted to squeeze Mike into a human body, but they were very careful when hugging Penelope. They only hugged for a while and then quickly separated.

Mike could see that the two of them were still a little stressed when facing Penelope who was so beautiful today.

Afterwards, Mike said hello to Mr. Weasley and Harry before coming to the car.

At this time, Hermione could no longer pretend that she didn't see Mike. She roughly stroked her hair twice before turning around and giving Mike an awkward smile. It can

be seen from Hermione's red face that she was desperate at the moment. Her hair, which was like a lion's mane, did not become neat and tidy because of her hasty combing just now. On the contrary, it seemed to be a little messier.

"Hello, Mike."

Hermione's voice can be described as light as a mosquito's hum, and although she was talking to Mike, her eyes were always drifting towards Penelope.

Obviously, she was very concerned about Penelope's existence.

Hermione's little movements naturally could not be hidden from Penelope, and she also knew that the reason why Hermione was so abnormal today was entirely because she felt ashamed after seeing her.

So, out of a woman's instinctive desire to win, Penelope held Mike's arm tighter.

Hermione's teeth were about to break when she saw this, but it was a pity that Mike didn't notice the silent war between the two women around him. His attention had long been attracted by the cart.

There was nothing special about the things on the cart. They were all low-cost magic gadgets, such as a panoramic telescope with a recording function, various strange badges, and some famous star figures.

Of course, what attracted Mike's attention was not these, but various objects printed with the Los Santos Corporation emblem, a miniature of a city.

These things are varied, from the basic Dolphin Magic Drink to the company's latest research, which can spray airflows of different temperatures according to the user's wishes. It can be said that there is everything, and the texture of these objects looks much better than other things.

"How are these things selling?" Mike asked, pointing to the pile of things with the Los Santos Corporation logo.

"Pretty good."

The busy stall owner answered Mike's question concisely, and Mike nodded with satisfaction after hearing it.

Mike had already delegated the sponsorship of the Quidditch World Cup to the promoters below, and these people obviously copied the Muggle society. Judging from what Mike has seen so far, the effect seems to be quite good.

"Children, the time is almost up, let's go."

Mr. Weasley said excitedly.

The little guys who had not seen each other for a long time finally calmed down after hearing the voice, and followed Mr. Weasley closely like ducklings following their mother duck for a walk, and walked towards the stadium.

Mike also retracted his thoughts and set off with Penelope, talking and laughing.

Harry and others were carrying a lot of things in their hands, which they had just bought from the stall owner.

The crowd mixed in the big group and walked into the woods along a road illuminated by lanterns.

As they moved forward, the cheers, shouts, and intermittent songs from the stadium began to gradually penetrate their ears.

It seems that those who entered the stadium early have been high.

Mike made this conclusion.

This kind of fanatical emotion is very contagious.

Let's take an analogy.

Many sports games and events that are not very popular will attract more people to make up the numbers in order to make the event site not too deserted, and you are being pulled in to make up the numbers for an inexplicable sports game.

You may not be very interested in the game in the audience, but as long as there are enough people around and the atmosphere is strong enough, you will easily become excited and cheer along.

The people around Mike are now very similar to the above situation. The only difference between the two is that these people really love Quidditch, and in order to watch this game, they are willing to spend a lot of money and even travel thousands of miles across the country to come here.

So they can get into the state faster, and their behavior after getting into the state is even crazier.

Mike only felt that everyone around him was blushing, and there would even be a burst of excited screams from the crowd from time to time.

This fanatical emotion was so strong that it took Mike and his team only 20 minutes to walk from the camping area to the competition venue, which usually takes more than half an hour.

And the first time they walked out of the woods, a spectacular stadium comparable to the Rose Bowl Stadium in their previous life appeared in front of everyone.

Most of the wizards present had never seen such a magnificent building in their lives. They all looked up at the huge building with their mouths wide open like country bumpkins.

To be honest, Mike felt at first that the wizards around him looked like beggars who had just returned from begging. This was largely because they were all wearing very strange and bizarre clothes. One of them, Xiao Hei, was even wrapped in a colorful feather blanket, which made him look like a parrot seeking a mate.

And now, this sense of déjà vu among the beggars was even stronger.

Mike shook his head and quickly left this strange team with Penelope.

"VIP tickets! Merlin! How did you get in from this entrance? You should have entered the stadium from the VIP exclusive channel on the east side!"

The girl with many freckles on her face who checked Mike's and Penelope's tickets repeatedly and confirmed that they were not forged went crazy.

She didn't care about the other spectators who were still waiting for the ticket check, she left her job and personally guided Mike to the stadium.

This irresponsible behavior naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of others.

Unfortunately, the Aurors standing by were not just for show. When the dazzling red light began to flash on their raised wands, the guys who protested immediately fell silent.

Harry, Weasley and others stared at Mike who was gradually going away in amazement, a little at a loss.
