Chapter 453: Ludo Bagman

Sirius did not explain that bit, and Evan naturally would not talk .

He shared Siriuss view that the campsite was secondary, and the most important thing was to have everyone together .

He was still thinking about the reasoning he just made, and he couldnt wait to breakThe Book of Abraham .

Everyone was in high spirits . They laughed and passed through the deserted moor . They could hardly see anything through the thick mist .

After about twenty minutes, a small stone cottage next to a gate swam into view .

Beyond the stone cottage, there were thousands of odd-shaped tents .

They went up the gentle slope of a large field toward a dark wood on the horizon .

A man was standing in the doorway, looking out at the tents .

From his expression, he might be the only real Muggle in this large area .

That was Mr . Roberts, the site manager .

As soon as he heard their footsteps, he turned his head to look at them .

Mr . Weasley went over to talk to him about renting a tent, and Harry was in a hurry too .

Because Mr . Weasley couldnt tell Muggles money apart, he was struggling to peel the notes in a large roll of money .

He also called the pound a colorful salary piece, provoking suspicion of the opposite Muggle .

Its strange . Youre not the only one who cant figure out the amount of money, he said in a low voice, looking carefully at Mr . Weasley and Harry standing behind him . Just ten minutes ago, two people were going to pay me a lot of big gold coins .

Mr . Weasley did not speak and looked at him uneasily .

There have never been so many people! he wondered, his eyes once again looking out over the misty field . Never been this crowded . Hundreds of pre-bookings and people keep coming

From his tone, it was like the beginning of a horror movie .

Perhaps for him, this incident was really terrifying .

He was familiar with the place, and for no reason, strange foreigners kept coming in, and his memory was constantly being reset .

Thats very strange, isnt it?! he continued . Look, from a few days ago, people came from all over . Loads of foreigners . And not just foreigners, but also many weirdos . I just saw a guy walking around in a kilt and a poncho which is obviously abnormal .

Mr . Weasley looked more uneasy, and he was already touching his wand .

I have a feeling that they all seem to know each other, like a party! He lowered his voice and said, In here

Just then, a wizard in plus-fours suddenly appeared out of thin air and landed at the door of the stone cottage .

Obliviate! he said sharply, pointing his wand at the Muggle .

Instantly, his eyes slid out of focus, his brows unknitted .

His face showed a look of dreamy unconcern . A map of the campsite for you, . He said placidly to Mr . Weasley, And your change .

Thank you very much, Mr . Weasley said .

The wizard in plus-fours accompanied them toward the gate of the campsite .

He looked exhausted . His chin was blue with stubble and there were deep purple shadows under his eyes .

Terrible, Arthur! he kept muttering . Ive been having a lot of trouble with him . He needs a Memory Charm ten times a day to keep him happy . Besides, a lot of sworn wizards and troubles are waiting for me .

Is it up to you alone?! Mr . Weasley said with amazement, Where are the others?!

Forget it . Ludo Bagman is not helping . This was originally a matter of their Department, but hes only trotting around and talking about Bludgers and Quaffles at the top of his voice, not worrying about anti-Muggle security . He sighed heavily . God, Ill be glad when this is over . Its a real grind . See you later, Arthur!

When he finished, he Disapparated!

I thought Mr . Bagman was Head of Magical Games and Sports . Ginny said with amazement . He should know better than to talk about Bludgers near Muggles, shouldnt he?

Yes, dear! Mr . Weasley said with a smile . Ludo has always been a bit sloppy about security issues, but you cant find someone more passionate than him to be head of the sports Department . He played Quidditch for England himself, you know . And he was the best Beater the Wimbourne Wasps ever had .

In the wizarding word, Ludo Bagman was a very famous person and very popular .

However, when he heard Mr . Weasleys words, Sirius sneered .

This man of heart, Evan! He came up and whispered, Bagmans past is not as glorious as rumors . He has been accused of providing confidential information to death Eaters . There is no denying, however, that he is a complete fool, and I doubt very much whether he knew what he was doing at the time, but its not wrong to be a bit hearty .

Evan nodded, for Sirius was correct; Ludo Bagman was a real idiot .

Listening to Mr . Weasley talking about Bagman, everyone was struggling to walk in the misty camp .

They walked between long rows tents and looked around . Most of the tents looked almost ordinary .

Their owners had had clearly tried to make them as Muggle-like as possible .

However, some of them had slipped up by adding chimneys, or bellpulls, or weather vanes .

Here and there was a tent so obviously magical .

For example, halfway the field, there was a tent that was particularly conspicuous .

It was an extravagant confection of striped silk like a miniature palace, with several live peacocks tethered at the entrance .

A little farther on they passed a tent that had three floors and several turrets .

A short way beyond that was a tent that had a front garden attached, complete with birdbath, sundial, and fountain .

Always the same . Some people cant resist showing off . Said Sirius, When you enter the innermost, near the camp of the pure blood wizard families, you will see what real luxury is .

From his expression, it was obvious that he was very disgusted with it, as if he remembered something unpleasant .

Looking at Harry and Ron, it seemed that they wanted to go and have a look .

They were very curious about the tents Sirius talked about .

But at the thought of meeting Malfoy there, watching him show off his fancy tent, and laughing at them, they immediately lost interest .
