The campsite

Morris and Kyle found an open space and started setting up their tent.

Kyle had clearly practiced beforehand, and he set up the tent in no time.

From the outside, it was just an ordinary blue tent, but when Morris went inside, he discovered that it had been enchanted with Undetectable Extension Charm.

A spacious little living room with a few armchairs, next to which is the connected kitchen.

"There are even two bedrooms." Kyle nodded in satisfaction, looking at Morris. "The one on the left is mine, the one on the right is for you. I'm going to rest for a bit."

"This place is really nice." Morris looked around.

The Undetectable Extension Charm is a very strictly controlled spell, but its use on tents is easily permitted.

Kyle yawned and went into the bedroom.

Morris decided to go out for a walk.

Such a grand gathering of so many wizards is a rare sight under normal circumstances.

Morris wandered around the camp.

In just a short while, the crowd had grown to a great size, and numerous vendors had sprung up selling souvenirs, filling the air with noise and laughter.

Strangely, there were Muggle mixed in with the wizards.

It was a middle-aged man, staring wide-eyed as two children riding toy flying brooms flew over his head.

Then a male wizard in uniform descended from the sky and cast Obliviate."

The man instantly became dazed and confused.

Poor fellow, Morris shook his head.

Judging from the other party's condition, they have likely been subjected to more than one Memory Charm.

He was immediately puzzled. Why was the Ministry of Magic keeping these Muggle here?

Wouldn't it be more convenient to just clear the area outright?

" Morris!"

Suddenly, Morris heard a familiar voice calling him.

He turned his head and saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione, the three of them squeezing out from the crowd.

"I never expected to see you here," Ron said in surprise. "How did you get here?"

"Someone gave me a ticket," Morris said.

What could be more exciting than meeting friends at the Quidditch World Cup?

Harry and his two companions all seemed very excited.

Morris fell into deep thought.

Wait a minute, since Harry Potter, the main character, is here... will anything unexpected happen at this Quidditch World Cup?

"Our tent is nearby!" Ron pointed behind him. "Want to come along?"

Morris then followed them northward.

Upon arriving at the destination, he saw a large crowd and a very lively atmosphere.

The entire Weasley family was gathered around the campfire, eating and chatting.

Arthur noticed them and immediately greeted them with a smile, "Here you are, children. Oh, Morris, hello."

This was probably the first time Morris had met Bill and Charlie.

Bill is Curse-Breaker in Gringotts, while Charlie works as a dragon trainer in Romania.

Like the rest of the Weasley family, the two were very friendly.

After a brief introduction, Morris also sat down by the campfire.

Mrs. Weasley immediately shoved a plate into his hand, containing a large piece of bread and a sizzling sausage.

"We just Apparition here," Percy said seriously, "But I think they set the Apparition landing point too far away."

"Stop it, Percy," Fred rolled his eyes. "You've already shown off enough since you got your Apparition."

Bill and Charlie immediately smiled amicably.

They behaved the same way after they learned this magic.

" Apparition requires a license?" Harry asked, looking surprised.

"Of course," Arthur put down the plate he was holding and patiently explained, "Once you turn seventeen, you can take the Apparition exam. The Ministry of Magic is very strict about this magic."

"Seventeen?" Harry asked doubtfully. "But Morris has already learned this magic."

He remembered that Morris had once used this magic to take him to an island and showed him Ship in a Bottle.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence around the campfire, and everyone looked at Morris at the same time.

Harry immediately realized he had said the wrong thing.

Morris took a bite of his sausage and said nonchalantly, "I do know this magic. I figured it out myself. Don't tell anyone."

"Oh!" Fred and George immediately stood up and ran to Morris's side. "Teach us, teacher!"

Arthur hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "You absolutely mustn't tell anyone about this, Morris."

Morris nodded.

He's not stupid.

Suddenly, Molly realized something, and her expression turned serious. "But Hogwarts forbids Apparition, Morris. You haven't been using magic outside of school all this time, have you?"

Morris smiled slightly. "It's a secret."

His tone was relaxed, but his meaning was clear.

Let's stop talking about this sensitive topic.

If they keep talking, he'll have to run away.

Molly opened her mouth, as if to say something more, but Mr. Weasley suddenly stood up, his gaze passing over the campfire and looking towards the crowd.

" Ludo!" he shouted, "Over here!"

A man in Quidditch uniform strode towards them, his face flushed, perhaps from excessive excitement, or perhaps from drinking.

Ludo Bagman.

Morris recognized him; he had gotten his ticket from the other person.

"Hello, Arthur," Ludo called out. "It's so nice to see you! What a wonderful day! Look at the weather, it's sure to stay dry tonight!"

"Yes," Arthur said with a smile, "I should thank you for your help."

"No problem at all!" Ludo waved his hand magnanimously.

Percy stood up, straightened his collar, and straightened his back, intending to step forward as well.

But Ludo didn't even notice him.

Ludo skipped over to Morris, plopped down beside him, and patted Morris on the shoulder. " Morris! You're here! How are you looking forward to the game?"

"Not bad." Morris subtly moved to the side.

He figured Ludo would get him involved in the betting soon, since he'd made a fortune selling brooms, and Ludo must know that too.

Sure enough, Ludo's first words were. " Morris, want to place a bet? The odds for Ireland team are really good right now."

"I refuse." Morris said without changing his expression.

Percy quietly sat back down, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"We're not participating in the gambling," Molly's voice came from the campfire, her tone firm.

"Alright!" Ludo stood up, dusting off his robes. "If you change your minds..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but instead winked at all the men around the campfire.

The meaning is obvious.

If you want to gamble, come find him.

Fred and George immediately exchanged knowing smiles, and Arthur also seemed quite tempted.

Molly, with her sharp eyes, immediately glared at her husband.

Just then, a voice came from the side. "How about I play a round?"

Morris turned his head and saw that it was a man wearing Muggle sunglasses.

" Sirius!" Harry exclaimed with delight, "You've finally arrived!"
