The Plane Merchant of Hogwarts

Rolf felt as if he hadn't slept long when there was a knocking sound outside the box.

"Rolf, can you hear me? We should go! Honey!" After saying that, he heard his voice waking up Harry and Ron.

After Rolf closed his eyes and washed briefly, he climbed out of the box. Through the window of Ron's room, he could still see the dark night outside.

"What, it's already time?" Fred walked out of the room sleepily, scratching his head and asking drowsily.

Everyone packed their things silently, all too sleepy to speak, while still yawning and stretching.

Mrs. Weasley was stirring the contents of a large pot on the stove, and Mr. Weasley sat at the table, checking a large bundle of parchment tickets.

As the boys entered the kitchen, he raised his head and spread his arms so they could see what he was wearing.

He wore a top that looked like a golf shirt and a pair of very old jeans. The pants were a bit too big for him, so he tied them up with a wide cowhide belt.

"How about it?" he asked eagerly, "We should conceal our identity when we go there. Do I look like a Muggle like this, Harry?"

"Like," Harry looked at Mr. Weasley carefully for a while and said with a smile, "and it's very good!"

"Why don't you see Bill, Charlie and Percy...Percy?" George said, uncontrollably yawning again.

"Aren't they Apparating?" Mrs. Weasley said, placing the cauldron on the table and starting to ladle porridge into bowls, "so they can take a nap."

"So, they're still sound asleep?" Fred asked angrily, "Why can't we also Apparate?"

"Because you are under age and have not passed the exam, and based on your grades I am not sure you can pass the exam smoothly." Mrs. Weasley shot back at him.

"Where are those two girls?" She turned and rushed out of the kitchen, and they heard her coming upstairs.

"Do I need to pass the Apparition test?" Harry asked curiously.

At this moment, Rolf woke up too early and his brain hadn't turned around yet, so he kept putting food into his mouth mechanically.

"Oh, yes." Mr. Weasley put down the newspaper and carefully stuffed the ticket into the back pocket of his jeans.

"On one occasion, the Department of Magical Transport fined two people for Apparating without a certificate.

This is not an easy task, and if you don't do it right, you will get into trouble. The two people I mentioned ended up dead and separated. "

Everyone at the table, except Harry, frowned and made a bitter face, "Split... split the family?" Harry asked in horror.

"They left half of themselves behind," Mr. Weasley said, scooping up a lot of syrup and mixing it into his porridge. It seemed that he was a loyal sweetie.

"Are they okay?" he continued to ask in horror, no trace of sleepiness visible in his wide eyes.

"Oh, it's okay," Mr. Weasley said flatly, "but they've been fined pretty hard. I don't think they'll act hastily anymore."

So you must not take Apparition as a joke. Many adult wizards do not want to get into this trouble.They prefer to use brooms, which are slower but safer. "

At this time, there were footsteps in the corridor, and Hermione and Ginny walked into the kitchen. Both of their faces looked very pale, as if they had not woken up.

"Why do we have to get up so early?" Ginny asked, rubbing her eyes and sitting down at the table.

"We have to go a long way, at least we have to go there in advance." Mr. Weasley said soothingly.

"Walking?" Hermione raised her head in surprise and asked, "What, do we have to walk to watch the World Cup?"

"No, no, that's too far," Mr. Weasley replied with a smile, "We only need to walk a short distance, after all, it is very difficult to gather a large number of wizards together without attracting the attention of Muggles.

We have to be very cautious and choose the best time to go on the road, in such a grand occasion as the Quidditch World Cup..."

"Why don't we use the space door?" Hermione interrupted Mr. Weasley and asked in confusion.

Mr. Weasley showed a strange expression: "Space gate? What is that?"

"You should ask Rolf about this question. When he brought me to the Burrow a few days ago, he used a space door!" Harry said happily to Mr. Weasley.

Rolf, who was mechanically transporting porridge to his mouth, didn't realize that there was actually no food left in his bowl.

But he didn't notice it and was still making inertial movements mechanically because he kept his eyes closed.

"Rolf? Rolf? Are you okay?" He heard someone calling him, but why am I so sleepy?Why can't you open your eyes?

He felt a shaking coming from his side, and finally helped him to open his eyelids. "Rolph, are you okay?" Harry asked nervously.

"It's okay. Maybe I got up too early and I'm not used to it. Why do we have to get up so early?" Rolf struggled to open his eyes and asked in a daze while his mind was still awake.

"Mr. Weasley said that we have to walk a distance to the designated location and use the portkey to go to the World Cup venue... We were talking about why not use the space door."

"Yeah, why not use the space door?" Rolf looked at Mr. Weasley with the same curiosity.

"What is a space gate? Why have I never heard of it?" Mr. Weasley asked curiously.

"It's a new type of vehicle recently developed by Owl Company. It's not only easy to use and cheap, but the most important thing is comfort! It's just like the name, it's like stepping through a door."

"Really?" Mr. Weasley became interested as soon as he heard it. "Then how can we use the space door?" Mr. Weasley continued to ask questions very cooperatively, like a hired agent.

Rolf stretched out his owl watch and showed it to Mr. Weasley: "First, you have to go to the Skyhawk Mall to buy a space door plug-in, and then put the magic coins in it to teleport to the space bus station near the destination. .”

"What a magical thing! Molly! How about we try this later?" Mr. Weasley looked very interested.

"You go ahead. I'll greet Bill, Charlie and Percy at noon and then look for you." Mrs. Weasley, who had just come down from upstairs, obviously didn't hear the previous conversation and said matter-of-factly.

"No, no, no, I'm talking about using the space door. In that case, can we go back and take a nap?" Mr. Weasley pointed at Rolf's magic watch and said.

"What is a space gate?" Sure enough, repeaters are human nature, and Rolf took the trouble to explain it to Boss Molly again.

"Really? It only costs 2 magic coins for one pass? And there is no limit to the number of people? This is much cheaper than buying Floo powder!" Mrs. Weasley asked in surprise.

"But are you sure there is a space bus station over there at the World Cup venue?" The boss still asked worriedly.

Rolf naturally showed her the latest space gate bus station distribution map. After all, the most popular event recently is this year's Quidditch World Cup.

One of the first bus stops established by the house elves was the World Cup stop.
