[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

When Mr. Shafiq and his two children arrived at the camp, the sky was only dimly lit.Camelia and her younger brother Anders had already yawned several times on the way here, and their eyelids could not hold back. Their father felt a little distressed when he saw it, thinking that his daughter hurried back home last night. Yes, he didn't have a good rest at all, and the youngest son was young, so he needed to get enough sleep, but he woke him up early in the morning to find the portkey.

In fact, Camelia has been able to apparate a long time ago. Although Mr. Shafik is very assured of her ability, she is still young and has not yet qualified for the exam. Using Apparation without a certificate is equivalent to being an unlicensed Muggle. Driving, and because Mr. Shafiq's old injury did not allow him to ride a broomstick, not to mention that he had to bring a small child, so the three of them had to find the door key closest to home. This was the most convenient way, but this It also means sacrificing sleep.

As soon as they landed, they saw two tired, sullen wizards, one of them was holding a large gold watch, the other was holding a thick roll of parchment and a quill. They should be from the Ministry of Magic. people.

Both of them were dressed as Muggles, but they didn't look very decent. The man with the gold watch was wearing a fairly formal suit, but on his feet were a pair of long tubes worn in the rain. rubber boots; his colleagues wore kilts and wrapped capes.

After registration, under the guidance of two staff members, they quickly found the Muggle administrator of the camp - Mr. Payne.

Their location is at the edge of the woods at the end of the field. It is a relatively wide open space. The open space is divided into two halves. There is a small sign inserted in front of each area. Camelia glanced over and saw it first. The sign happened to be her own, so she didn't pay attention to see what was written on the next sign. She and her father had to set up the tent as soon as possible, because mother and her friend Nora might arrive at any time, and Xiao An Des still looks sluggish, so let him sleep for a while.

Camelia knew that if Mom came over and saw that they were not ready, she would throw a tantrum with Dad, complaining that she left her precious work and came all the way to strengthen the relationship between mother and daughter, not for a special trip Came to work for them, that's what she must have said.

Mr. Shafiq is very satisfied with this location, and thinks it is the best, because the stadium is located on the other side of the forest, very close to them, and he is looking forward to this game.

Building a tent without magic is not a difficult task for the Shafik father and daughter, because when Camelia was young, Mr. Shafik tried to make friends with some Muggle families in order to make her happy. Friends, of course he hid his wizarding status from them, until now those Muggle friends thought he was a generous philanthropist working in investment.

He used to take the children out camping with these Muggles before, and it was at that time that his hands-on ability was honed, and he also became familiar with a lot of Muggles during the period.

It's just that Mr. Shafiq rarely cares about his son.

When crossing the field just now, they saw many other wizards' tents.Most of the tents don't look special, but obviously their owners took pains to make them as similar as possible to Muggle tents, but some accidentally overdid it, adding chimneys and glass windows as superfluous Or a weathervane, which looks nondescript.

However, there are a few tents among them, which can be seen to be enchanted at a glance. Whenever Camelia and Mr. Shafik see this kind of tents, they can't help but look at each other, and then say this to their fellow wizards. This kind of behavior felt both helpless and funny, no wonder Mr. Muggle Payne muttered when he gave them the map, did these people who appeared suddenly made an appointment to play a big trick together.Anders, who was carried on his back by Mr. Shafik, poked his head out of his father's shoulders with great energy, and stared curiously at these weird tents. Everything around him was very novel to him.

In the center of the venue, there is another tent that is particularly conspicuous and the most impressive.A long red carpet was laid at the entrance of the tent, which looked like a small palace in appearance, and even a few live peacocks were tied to the stakes used to fix the tent.Going forward, there is another tent that is four stories high, and there are several turrets beside it.Looking over there, there is also a garden with a garden in front of the tent door, which has a birdbath, a fountain, and everything else.

Because they know Muggles very well, the tents prepared by Shafik's family are well-prepared. From the outside, they are no different from ordinary tents. Only when Muggles get inside can they see that the tents are magical.

Although it looks like an ordinary tent on the outside, in fact, there is a comfortable three-bedroom room hidden inside, as well as a bathroom and a kitchen, which are relatively clean overall.Camelia looked at the two beds in the bedroom and couldn't help crying: "Dad, there are only two beds! I can sleep in one with Anders, and the other for Mom and Nora. But in this case, you Where do you sleep?"

"Ah, I was negligent for a while. I forgot that we have an extra person. We should get the big tent. It's too late to go back and get it now... It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I can make do with the sofa outside for a few nights. If not, there is a spare sleeping bag.” Mr. Shafik gently placed Anders on one of the beds on his back, and he was whispering in his sleep at this time.

Seeing that her brother was asleep, Camelia lowered her voice, "But the sofa outside is so small, what if you turn over and fall off it in the middle of the night? I'm small, let me sleep outside, you and Ann Des to sleep with."

"If your mother finds out that I let you sleep on the sofa, she might kill me." Mr. Shafiq said jokingly, and he and his daughter quietly retreated from the bedroom. My baby is going to sleep on the hard sofa. Be good, don't think about me."

After setting up their luggage, they wanted to light a fire outside and cook something to eat. Although there was a stove in the tent, Mr. Shafik thought that since they were now required to pretend to be camping in the wild like Muggles, there should be a camp. look, and he hadn't been camping with his daughter in ages.

It is not difficult to start a fire with matches, but it takes a while to wait for the fire to burn, far less quickly than using magic.While waiting, Mr. Shafiq asked about Camelia's situation in France.

Mr. Shafiq added a piece of wood to the fire, "Are you used to living in France? How are they treating you?"

"It's okay. My uncle's family took me to visit a lot of interesting places. My aunt cooks big meals almost every day. Leon said that she planned to raise me as a piglet. I also visited my grandmother a few times. She always prepares a lot of delicious food. Grandma's pastries are much sweeter than grandma's, but no one can do steak better than her."

Mr. Shafiq laughed, "That's her specialty. I always joked with your mother before, saying that marrying her is because I miss your grandma's steak. Later, your mother and I quarreled, no less When I mentioned this, she said that in my heart, her status is not as high as your grandma's secret steak. It's not like that!"

Camelia stopped fiddling with the bonfire and listened intently to what her father said.

"When she gets angry, she always forgets that I almost lost my life because of her. I love her so much. How can a mere piece of steak compare to her... Oh, of course it's all over, those things There is nothing to talk about, the girl I love the most now is you, my dear daughter."

Camelia asked cautiously: "Then do you still love your mother?"

"I don't know... I can't tell, but I don't think I will ever do the same thing for her when I was young again, but maybe I will only do that for her in my life."

I don’t know what memory was touched, Mr. Shafik shook his head and smiled wryly for a few times, then remained silent and continued to focus on burning the fire. The straps on his clothes.

After a while, the fire blazed up, and the pot was put on top to bake bacon and fried eggs.

When Camelia went to get the eggs, she just got up and heard her father say softly: "Don't worry, I won't get married again, unless that person is your mother."

When Shafiq and his daughter were about to have breakfast, two tall figures walked towards this side. Since it was still relatively early at that time, and the early morning fog had not completely dissipated, they could not be seen clearly, but they could be seen It should be the family next door to them.

"Amos!" Mr. Shafik suddenly exclaimed happily, put down the food in his hand, got up and strode towards one of the wizards who was walking towards them.

"It's you, Erwin!" The red-faced wizard with a short brown beard hugged Mr. Shafik affectionately, and then laughed and patted each other's shoulders.

Seeing her father passing by, Camelia also planned to get up and follow him, but at this moment she noticed another person, and after she saw who it was, she was almost swallowed by the sandwich that hadn't been completely swallowed in her mouth Choke.

After finding Camelia sitting there, Cedric was obviously also taken aback, and the hand holding the strap of the schoolbag involuntarily clenched even tighter.

After realizing that Cedric was staring at her with a fiery gaze, Camelia immediately lowered her head, her face was hot, and the delicious sandwich in her hand suddenly became hard to swallow.

Mr. Diggory was catching up with Mr. Shafik and didn't notice anything wrong with his son behind him.

"Old friend, we haven't seen each other for a long time. By the way, this is my son, Cedric." He pulled Cedric behind him to him, "Come on, son, let me introduce you to this Dad's good friend from school, Erwin Shafik. You haven't met yet, have you?"

Unexpectedly, the second he saw Cedric, Mr. Shafik put on a straight face and said coldly, "I've seen it."

This surprised Mr. Diggory, "Really? When did it happen? I don't know how."

Cedric smiled and held out his hand, "Hello, Mr. Shafik."

But Mr. Shafik didn't seem to see it, he started to sneer, so Cedric had to withdraw his hand in embarrassment.Mr. Shafik turned his head slightly and glanced back at Camelia who was sitting not far away, then he looked back silently and looked up and down Cedric.

"Have you been staring at our Jamie just now?" He said, his tone revealing the majesty of a father.

"What's the matter? Seid, is there some misunderstanding between you and Mr. Shafik? If so, explain it quickly." Mr. Diggory said confusedly, "ah, who is that girl?" ? Erwin, is that your child?"

"Yes, that's my daughter, Camelia." Mr. Shafiq pointed to Camelia who came over and said, "Is she as beautiful as her mother?"

"Prettier than her mother," said Mr. Diggory, and nudged Cedric. "What do you think, son?"

Cedric smiled absently and said, "She has always been beautiful."

Hearing this, Mr. Diggory asked in surprise, "You know each other?"

For a moment, Cedric hoped that Camelia would nod, so he didn't rush to answer, but waited to see Camelia's reaction, but she said to Mr. Diggory calmly: "It's just Met a few times at school. Sir, you may not know that your son is very famous in school, and almost all the girls at Hogwarts want to know him."

"Really? He never told me about it." Mr. Diggory looked overjoyed at his son, wanting his confirmation.

Cedric quickly denied, "Dad, you misunderstood, Miss Shafik was joking with you."

He was speaking from the heart, and at the same time he also hoped that Camelia was joking, not only about this matter but also about the breakup, for a moment he wanted to impulsively tell his father who this girl in front of him was to him , but he no longer had the formal identity to confess their relationship in front of the two fathers with confidence. At this time, he had to tell himself again that they had broken up.

Now Cedric could only say to her politely and rudely with a lonely smile, "Hello, Miss Shafik."

But Mr. Shafik glanced at Cedric's outstretched hand again, and Yoyo said, "I don't think there is a need to shake hands."

Mr. Diggory was not surprised to see that Cedric was not well received by Mr. Shafik. Perhaps Mr. Shafik had mentioned to him long ago how he would deal with those who tried to approach him if he had a daughter. His daughter's boy.

So Mr. Diggory said with a smile: "Don't be so narrow-minded, my son is not a bastard, and he won't bully your daughter."

"Who can say for sure? Kid, don't even think about it, I'll keep watching you." Mr. Shafiq snorted coldly.

"Well, don't frighten him." Mr. Diggory unhooked the knapsack from his shoulders. "Then son, let's pack up and go pitch our tent."

"Amos, do you want to sit down and have something to eat first? There is no rush to set up the tent, and I will help out later. You guys didn't eat anything when you came here early in the morning, right? Come on, sit down, you don't need to be with me You are welcome." Mr. Shafik turned his head and told Camelia again, "Honey, please go in and get some tableware, and check if your brother is awake by the way?"

When Mr. Diggory heard Mr. Shafik say this, he pulled Cedric to sit down, "That's great, I'm just a little hungry."

"How did you get here? My two boys were too young to find the portkey - oh, my youngest fell asleep when he came, and he slept in it, and if he wakes up, I'm going to get it right now." He called out to let you see below."

Mr. Diggory said in a jolly voice: "Let the boy sleep a little longer. What's his name? Ah, I remember. Is it Anders?"

Seeing Mr. Shafik nod, he smiled a little smugly, and then continued: "We came here with the Weasleys using the Portkey. We're up at two o'clock, aren't we, Seid? To tell you the truth, I'd love him to pass the Apparation test sooner. But... nothing to complain about... the Quidditch World Cup, you can't miss it, even if it costs a pocket of galleons - actually, it did cost that much to buy a ticket Money. But I managed to deal with it, and it wasn't too difficult."

Mr. Shafiq said, "You should have spoken to me. I'll go and say hello to Ludo Bagman, or just say my name, and he'll get you a good ticket, and maybe You don't need to spend a penny of wronged money."

Cedric noticed that his father's face was flushed, and he muttered, "Oh, no, I'm too embarrassed to bother my old friend."

But Mr. Shafiq said, "Don't be so polite with me."

Mr. Diggory wanted to say something more, but Camelia just came out of the tent with the cutlery, and he said nothing more.After handing the things to the two, Camelia sat next to Mr. Shafik again.

"Anders is sleeping soundly. I'll see if I can wake him up when mom and the others arrive."

Mr. Shafik nodded and began to distribute the freshly baked potatoes, but Mr. Diggory was surprised by Camelia's words.

"Your mother? The one I thought...Blanche is coming too?" Mr. Digory just finished speaking, and immediately realized that he had said something that shouldn't be said, and he looked at Camille warily. Ya.

Mr. Shafiq was very frank, "Yes, Blanche and a friend of hers, I asked them to come to watch the football game together."

Mr. Diggory was still surprised. "So you're reconciled with her? Ready to remarry for the sake of the children? That's all right, but you and the other wife have settled so quickly?"

"There's nobody left in the Yaxleys, and none of her brothers want to take over a madman. You know I don't need money, they just want money, they don't care about children or anything, after all, my last name is Shafik , has nothing to do with their family, so the divorce went smoothly, even I didn't expect it." Mr. Shafiq sighed, "As for Blanche, she probably won't forgive me in her life. Don't expect her to be... a child, if she wants it, if the child is willing, I won't have any objections, it's what I owe her. "

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Camelia, then turned to Mr. Diggory and said proudly, "The thing I regret the most in my life is marrying Blanche and having a flower-like baby with her." My daughter, I used to give her many flowers, but in the end I was reluctant to give her this one."

At this time, Camelia suddenly said, "Dad, I promise you that I will not go to France with my mother before I become an adult."

These words made Mr. Shafiq ecstatic, "So you are willing to continue living with me, which is very happy, but..."

"I still have to stay in England and continue my studies, don't I?"

At this time, Mr. Shafiq showed an extremely contradictory expression on his face. He looked both happy and embarrassed, "Don't you dislike staying in England? Our adults will take care of the school. It's not your concern. If you I said these words to make me happy, I am very moved, but what I hope more is that you can do what you want and don't wrong yourself..."

Camelia simply interrupted her father, "I don't like it, but I've gotten used to it after living here for so many years. I'm so old, I can make up my own mind, and I have to settle some things here before I can go. somewhere else."

Hearing this, Cedric finally calmed down again. Just now he was glad that Camelia would not just leave them and her mother to go to France, but now he was thinking about the relationship between him and her. Is that one of those unresolved things that Camelia said.

Mr. Diggory said: "It's great to stay in the UK. Most wizards in the UK graduated from Hogwarts. It's better to go to another school before halfway through."

Hearing that his daughter wanted to stay, Mr. Shafiq was totally willing, but he asked nervously, "Have you told your mother? What does she mean?"

Camelia looked at Mr. Shafik with wide eyes and said, "Do you think I'm crazy? You don't know what kind of temper my mother has, how dare I mention it to her."

Mr. Shafiq said hesitantly: "Then you can talk to her yourself later, I don't know if she will agree."

Camelia blinked, "Dad, you also want me to stay in England, right? So I hope that when Mom comes later, you will be responsible for persuading her to let me stay in England."

Mr. Shafiq said in fear, "Why do you want me to go? Do you think I can do it? You go and act like a baby with your mother and say something nice. I don't think she will be so cruel to break us up." father and daughter."

"Dad, I also listened to your words and begged her not to leave, but she still left."

What Digory and his son didn't expect was that the father and daughter started to argue.

"Your mother is a bit difficult to talk to, but she must love you very much. Anyway, she loves you more than me. You go tell me, I can only help you a little behind the scenes." Mr. Shafiq explain.

Camelia said: "Of course you have to say it. No one is more suitable than you. Because you have persuaded her to marry you and let her have a baby for you. You are more experienced than me in this matter. too much."

This made Mr. Shafik speechless and unable to refute, so he could only say: "It was because of her that I almost had to be paralyzed in bed for the rest of my life, and your mother hasn't drank for many years. any solution."

Seeing that her father refused to let go, Camelia leaned over, took his arm and shook it and said, "Dad, you told me yesterday that you would do anything for me, so I believe this little thing will not trouble you." of."

After a lot of hard work, Mr. Shafiq finally agreed.

However, the interaction between father and daughter opened Mr. Digory's eyes, and he said that it was a pity that he and his wife only had a son, and he couldn't understand what it was like to have a daughter who acted like a baby with him.

From the beginning to the end, Cedric stared at Camelia without saying a word, but when he saw her and his father acting like a baby, he couldn't help laughing, but he quickly returned to normal.

After eating, they helped Digory and his son set up the tent together.After the sun rose, the fog gradually dispersed.

Their tent seemed to be on one of the main roads leading to the stadium, and the Ministry officials were running up and down on the road. Every time someone passed, they would greet Mr. Shafik or Mr. Diggory warmly. The second child was not interested in these people, because they were all familiar with their father's friends. Most of the time, Cedric and Camelia just sat there quietly, not daring to look at each other.

Ludo Bagman was obviously by far the most well-dressed person Camila had ever seen, not even the old wizard in floral pajamas she met on the way to camp.He was wearing a long Quidditch robe with yellow and black stripes and a huge wasp printed on his chest. It seemed that he wanted to show everyone that he played Quidditch on behalf of England. He is also the best ever batsman for the Wimbourne Hornets, but he is now Director of Sports at the Ministry of Magic.

The evaluation of Bagman from the outside world has always been mixed. Some people say that there is no one more passionate than him to serve as the leader of the sports department, but some people say that he often neglects his duties and is not a competent person. leadership.But after so many years, he still sits firmly in his position.

Mr. Shafiq and Bagman have been old friends for many years, so Camila has seen him since she was very young. He used to have a strong physique, but in recent years he has started to decline. body, his belly looked bigger, and his nose was flat (Camelia had often guessed before that it might have been broken by a Bludger), but despite this he looked Much younger than his actual age, like an oversized boy.

"Yo hoo!" Bagman exclaimed happily.He jumped up and down as he walked, as if there were springs under his feet.

"Erwin, old chap. Ah, you're here, Amos!" He came to the campfire, panting. "It's a beautiful day, isn't it? Where can I find it like this! At night Definitely no clouds, the whole preparations are in order... so I don't have much to do!"

Mr. Diggory said to Cedric: "Son, this is Ludo Bagman, you must know who he is, thanks to him we have got such a good ticket."

Bagman grinned and waved his hand, as if to say it was nothing.

"Ah—yes," continued Mr. Diggory, laughing, "this is my son Cedric. That's Erwin's daughter—"

Bagman saw Camelia's eyes brighten, "You don't need to introduce me, Jamie, of course I know you! My little God of Wealth. Has Erwin told you about his little girl? It's amazing Yes! You will never lose money by betting with her, and you can make a lot of money by listening to her."

Mr. Shafik quickly said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just that this kid is lucky."

"Dad, I don't rely on luck alone, and my luck is not good." Camelia said, "Gambling has probabilities. With a little knowledge of probability, almost all of them can be deduced."

"Is this another Muggle theorem formula? Well, I have to remind myself all the time that my little witch is different from other children." Mr. Shafik said to the others, "When she was five years old, , we couldn't quite understand what she was saying."

"You should be happy, Jamie is the smartest girl I've ever seen! You will teach Uncle about probability sometime, it will be very useful."

"But you promised me that you would never gamble again," said Camelia unhappy.

"Is there? Why don't I remember this? Jamie, you remember wrongly." Bagman looked a little unnatural, and prevaricated with a reason, and then eagerly addressed Mr. Shafik and Diggory. "Do you two want to bet on the match?" asked Mr.

He jingled the pockets of his yellow and black robe, which seemed to contain a lot of gold coins. "I have persuaded Roddy Pontene to make a bet with me. He said Bulgaria would score the first goal. Agatha Jr. Timms bet the race would go on for a week, and she bet half the stock in Eel Farm."

"Oh, well then," said Mr Diggory, with a look, "let me see .

"Five Galleons?" Ludo Bagman seemed a little disappointed, but quickly regained his interest, "Very good, very good...Does Erwin want to bet? The children want to come too, I will pay you Great odds."

"They're too young to play," said Mr. Diggory hastily. "My wife wouldn't want our children to play."

Mr. Shafiq also said: "Ludo, don't teach the child badly. How about it, I will bet a hundred Galleons on Ireland to win."

I don't know whether he was disappointed that the two children were not allowed to participate, or he was a little dissatisfied with Mr. Shafik's betting money, Ludo said: "Are you sure? One hundred Galleons? This is not like your style, the Bulgarian team is powerful. Kdor Krum no longer think about it? Didn’t you also praise me that he is the better seeker you have seen in recent years?”

"He's a good seed, but Quidditch is a team game, and you can't win it alone." Mr. Shafik handed over the money, "I think he will probably catch the Snitch first, but he will definitely The Irish team won. Ludo, there can be no more than a hundred Galleons, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it."

"How is it possible? If the Irish team wins, I will be the first to give you the money." Ludo Bagman said in a rough voice, jingling the money in his pocket excitedly, and then he quickly pulled out the money. Notebook and quill, scrawled the names of Mr. Shafik and Mr. Diggory, and handed each of them a strip of parchment.

Then Bagman turned beamingly to Mr Diggory.

"Amos, can you do me a favor? I've been looking for Barty Crouch. I don't understand a word that my Bulgarian equivalent is making trouble with us. But Barty will fix that, he speaks about 150 languages."

Mr. Shafik said: "Ludo, take me there later, don't bother Barty with this kind of thing. I can speak some Bulgarian, if not, I can try to talk to him in Russian look."

"Thank you, Erwin. But I think I'd better go find Barty. I just got word from one of my men that Bertha Jorkins has been found. I'd better go and tell him. It's time to pay attention." Bagman sat down on the grass.

Mr. Diggory said happily: "Bertha's found? That's very good!"

Bagman said, round eyes wide open and innocent looking, "Yeah, yeah. Barty Crouch keeps asking me to send someone for her, but you know there's been a lot of trouble in the department lately." Someone will come. I want him to rest assured that there is no need to look for her, and she will show up."

"Look, I was right! Poor old Bertha . . . her memory is a leaky cauldron, and she has a terrible sense of direction. And, as I expected, she is lost again. She often does." A person goes out, then disappears for a while, and on a certain day, she will wander back to the office, thinking that she has only been out for a few days, but in fact she has been gone for more than a month."

"Where has she gone so long?" asked Mr. Diggory urgently.

Bagman said carelessly: "Originally, she went to Albania for vacation, but for some reason, she met a black wizard there, and was cast with a forgetting curse... When I found her, she was so stupid, even I forgot what my name is, and now she has been sent to St. Mungo, but she is fine, and she will be fine if she stays there for a few days."

Mr Diggory said: "Barty Crouch is not without reason to be concerned."

"Well, he's always right." Bagman waved his hand disapprovingly, as if trying to drive away a group of flying mosquitoes, "I think I should go. See you tonight, everyone!"

As soon as he left, Camelia couldn't wait to say to Mr. Shafik: "Father, I don't think you should send a hundred Galleons away for nothing. He didn't pay back the money he owed us before, and I heard that he has another one. Big debts to pay."

Mr. Shafiq said with a smile: "But Luke has always been friendly to us. Remember? When you were young, he often let you ride on his shoulders. Every birthday and Christmas, he also remembered to prepare gifts for you."

"I didn't say he was bad, but I just felt that you pampered him too much and helped him pay off one debt after another, but he still refused to repent. If he continues like this, sooner or later something will happen, and it doesn't take long. It's enough for him after this game is over." Camelia said, "I really hate it when people lie to me and suddenly go back on things that I have agreed to."

"You, like your mother, are too serious." Mr. Shafiq said helplessly.
