All things are three at Hogwarts

A few days later, as the match day approached, the unprecedented scale of this International Wizarding Duel Competition became apparent. It attracted even more attention than the Quidditch World Cup.

In addition to tourists and dueling enthusiasts, wizards and celebrities from all over the world are attracted here, and many countries have sent official delegations.

To this end, the Greek Ministry of Magic, which has experience in hosting the Quidditch World Cup, has set up a campsite not far from the duel venue. Thousands of strange-shaped tents are stationed in it, and they go down the gentle slope of the large field. , the site stretches all the way to the gentle beach.

Because the Muggle expulsion spell has been cast in this area, Muggles, including the Muggle government themselves, believe that this scenic spot is under maintenance. Wizards who come here can decorate their tents as they like, and even make some more novel temporary ones. After the houses learned this, their owners took great pains and used magic to make them as unique and unique as possible.

Countless foreigners moved freely in the camp, with various skin colors and costumes, and speaking various languages, as if wizards from all over the world had gathered here. African wizards in long white robes and Indian-style wizards sat together, roasting something like a hare on a pile of purple fire.

These wizards, who were strangers to each other, easily got acquainted with each other after becoming temporary neighbors. In the face of the duel competition, they didn't worry about having nothing in common...

Naturally, there were not only tourists who came here because of the reputation, but also many businessmen who wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

In addition to tents, some temporary vendors were set up selling items with characteristics from various countries around the world. From time to time, adult wizards could be seen emerging from their tents and wandering around in front of various stalls.

This is the best thing for the Greek Ministry of Magic, because many foreign wizards also take the opportunity to wander around the Greek magic world to boost the local economy. It would be even worse if there was not a floating city in the sky by the sea that attracts many tourists. alright.

"Compared with Quidditch matches or other large-scale events held in the past, there are many novel things in the wizard camp today." Kingsley Shacklebolt, wearing a purple robe, and Mad-Eye Moody were in Search the tent area.

In an open space nearby, several wizards dressed in Hogwarts uniforms were casting spells for an African wizard. They used a square stone piece, crushed lime, a few grains of sand, a drop of water, and a few pieces of wood to create a farmhouse. . Then he used wire and wood to create an invisible servant, and finally used silver wire and small bells to cast an alarm spell with a wand at the entrance to the house such as the break-in door. .

"Although I hate Harris, the folding fortress that I saw about the umbrella research and development alchemy product is better than this farmhouse. It is stronger than the magic tent. It can be carried in your trouser pocket, and it looks very safe when it is put out... I just went to find out. It only has one door, and no one can open it except the user. And it can go 10 feet into the ground, and its foundation is very stable, unlike ordinary tents that are easily blown away." Moody's crutches tapped on the ground. Strike, the magic eyes scanned the roadside fortresses with arrow holes for the residents to cast magic, with battlements on top and metal walls. "But these damn vampires and capitalists cost three hundred for each of these things." Gold galleons, it’s almost like grabbing... This is just the basic price. Different interior decorations have different prices. If you add some configurations, it will cost more than building a home. Otherwise, it is very suitable for Aurors to survive in the wild. use."

"I prefer this kind of spell called Leomon's cabin that college students provide services to cast. Its floor is flat, clean and dry, and it is very comfortable to live in. Alastor, no one wants to harm you now, you can choose to be more comfortable ...and in fact it also provides considerable security. The doors, windows, and even chimneys are all protected against intruders." Kingsley shook his head at Moody's old habit of feeling insecure, "And it is superior to that fortress. Yes, this spell can also create an invisible servant. Although it is just a weakened temporary version of the house elf, it is not as good as Mr. Handy. It can only do one job at a time, and it cannot use magic items like Mr. Handy. I can't even lift heavy objects, so I can only sweep open ordinary doors, cabinets and lids, and perform simple tasks such as making simple sandwiches... But for ordinary family wizards as a temporary residence, this is good enough... The most important thing Its cost is very low compared to buying a fortress and a broom, but it also allows college students to work-study and transfer a little money. The popular undead in the floating city are still difficult for wizards from other countries to accept... I have been busy in the duel competition. In the end, I want to go to university for further studies. Spells like this kind of shelter are really very practical... I don’t believe in Ravenclaw and I guess there won’t be much in the temple.”

"I doubt how much an elite wizard like you can gain from going to university. Harris will not release the most advanced technology. This damn, profit-seeking businessman..." Moody cursed a few times, "It is said that they provide upgraded versions of spells to the cabins of high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Magic of various countries. Those luxurious residences like Mordenkainen's Mansion spell are beyond the reach of even those with money."

"I escorted the Russian minister in this morning..." Kingsley looked to the upper left, and the golden earring on one ear swayed slightly, "It is safer than fortresses and huts... created by this mansion technique Similar to the Room of Requirement, the space inside is in a different dimension, with only one specific entrance and exit connected to the outside world. Therefore, no matter how noisy the wizards inside and outside the house are, it will not affect the rest of the wizards in the house, and it can also provide the owner with enough Security... In a gorgeous hall connecting many rooms, the whole room is neat and warm." Kingsley paused, "The minister asked his servants to move things over, explaining that the interior of the room can be designed according to his own preferences. The structure... there are far more invisible servants in it than in the farmhouse, but I think this is probably of little use to these powerful people. After all, they have their own house elves, and they are all families that even Mr. Handy does not need to buy. …”

"That's better than using black magic to summon skeletons to serve as maids. Kingsley and the others use invisible slaves because necromancy is now banned in Greece." Moody's prosthetic eyes looked around trying to find acquaintances from the Order of the Phoenix, "I still I prefer the Folding Fortress, who knows if these slaves really have no intelligence or if Harris is using this spell to spy on us."

"Hey Alastor, Kingsley, we're here." Tonks' excited voice sounded.

Kingsley and Moody turned their heads in surprise. Her hair was now a dazzling pink, and her belly was bulging. Lupine beside her was supporting her nervously, as if he was afraid that his wife would fall too excited. , while Tonks herself was chasing away some balloons that had just blocked each other's view.

Behind them was a complex of farmhouses, folding fortresses, and luxury tents with the Black family crest. It didn't take much for Moody to know who had done this.

"She's about to give birth, Lupin, how dare you bring her here?!" Moody's crutch hit the ground heavily, and he yelled angrily at Lupine, "If anyone wants to harm her, I'll see you there!" Sometimes I can’t even cry.”

"Don't blame him, I had to come... and no one wanted to return the favor!" Understanding that Mad-Eye was out of concern for herself, Tonks shook her head indifferently and said happily, "We heard Remus talking about Gellert telling Dumbledore that someone was going to assassinate Allen. Dumbledore sent him over to help, so I followed him over to see if there was anyone who needed me." Tonks He took out something like a small Rubik's Cube from his bag and threw it to Moody.

"Alastor, Tonks and I just went shopping. You will definitely like this foldable fortress, but you have to match the furniture and safety measures yourself. It's just a basic model." Lupine didn't take it seriously after being scolded. , he hugged his wife with a happy face, "It's a pity that the cabin is a temporary spell and not an alchemy product. Otherwise, its advanced version of Leomont's Secret Hall would be more suitable for you. It can turn yourself into a stone or a tree or something." It can also hide traces…”

"I'll bring something for your children in a few days...Don't buy such expensive things for an old man like me next time." 1 Moody said in a sullen voice, and then cursed at Lupine and said, "To you and As far as Remus is concerned, nothing is more important than giving birth to your child. Stay calm and think about Tonks and the child in her belly. Don't take risks for Harris, it's enough for us to go."

"Uh... I said, Hogwarts sent me a notice... On the day of the duel competition, I was asked to attend the parent meeting of Gryffindor House." Sirius, who came from behind, took out his magic robe. A piece of crumpled parchment, with the Hogwarts school emblem shining on it. He looked at Kingsley and Mad-Eye with some anxiety and said, "Josephine also specifically reminded me that I'd better not do it then." Come to the duel competition... In fact, she wants the Order of the Phoenix to not come and cause trouble for them..."
