The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

"This is really embarrassing."

After John signed, he shook his head with a smile and said.

Amos obviously understood the hidden meaning of John's words.

Because his expression became even worse.

He had just finished praising his son, but he was slapped in the face before he could even get past 5 minutes.

This is really embarrassing.

But he was still a little unconvinced.

'It's just a case, it's no big deal! '

He comforted himself in his heart.

The Ministry wizard opposite knew nothing about it.

After taking the notebook and pen, he said happily:

"Mr. Shafiq, as a celebrity, you should be self-conscious."

John nodded, smiled and shook his hand.

The Weasleys were also a little surprised.

They didn't expect John to be so popular.

Michelle clapped her hands even more happily.

"Thank you, Mr. Shafiq." The wizard from the Ministry of Magic said with a smile on his face. "Now you have to go to the camp quickly. There will be a group of people coming here at a quarter past five. Wait a minute, I'll look for you. Let’s find out where your camp is.”

He searched on the parchment for a long time, "Weasley... Weasley's camp needs to go a little further forward. The first camp in front is. Diggory... you are in the second camp."

As for Shafiq..."

Another wizard from the Ministry of Magic smiled mysteriously and said:

"Mr. Minister specifically asked that as a reward for the best little wizards, you are allowed to camp in the special camp."

"Special camp?"

Amos frowned and said, "I've never heard of any special camp!"

The Ministry of Magic wizard explained:

"Yes, theoretically speaking, the special camp does not exist...or rather, it is not called that.

It is actually the open space closest to the competition venue.

It is protected by the [Muggle Expelling Curse] and is not under the jurisdiction of Muggles, so you don't have to worry about any Muggle administrators like wizards in ordinary camps.

Moreover, before the start of the game, ordinary wizards cannot enter, and the tents used are in better condition, so they are used by some big shots and foreign VIPs who like peace and quiet.

It is an official reception venue. "

Amos was speechless.

As an employee of the Ministry of Magic, he was unaware of the existence of this 'official reception venue'.

This is really embarrassing.

"In that case," John said with a smile, "Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Diggory, please come with me to the tent there. Is this feasible?"

The Ministry wizard nodded quickly.

Upon seeing this, George and Fred immediately cheered.

Mr. Weasley thanked John.

Amos, on the other hand, was even more embarrassed.

Now the remaining trace of dissatisfaction in his heart was gone.

He couldn't tell whether John was deliberately humiliating him or repaying kindness with kindness.

But no matter which one it was, he felt a strong sense of embarrassment and humiliation.

"I...we are a little bit...I mean..."

He blushed and spoke hesitantly, but he couldn't express what he meant.

John felt that maybe he didn't even know what he wanted to say.

Finally it was Cedric who stood up.

He patted his father on the back to reassure him.

Then he smiled and said:

"John, dad and I should go to the original camp. After all...it's more lively there, and my dad still has some friends there."

After saying this, Cedric nodded apologetically towards John.

John still has a good impression of Cedric.

He took the initiative to shake hands with the other party, watched them leave, and then walked towards the camp with Michelle, Weasley and others.

"Amos is such a person. He puts Seder above all else, and Seder really strives for success."

On the way, Mr. Weasley explained with some embarrassment, "For a long time, Seid was recognized as the best student in Hogwarts."

"But now! This title belongs to Mr. Shafiq, not to the pretty boy!"

George and Fred said with a smile.

Ron also echoed from the side.

Neither of them had a favorable opinion of Cedric and Amos.

This is reasonable.

After all, Cedric is Hufflepuff's seeker, and Amos is a man who likes to show off his son. George and Fred are probably not less annoyed by this.

John smiled and shook his head and said:

"I quite like Cedric. He is a good person, both in terms of character and knowledge. With the way Mr. Digory has raised his children, it is indeed rare for him to be able to become a talented person."

Mr. Weasley nodded in agreement.

He also doesn't think much of Amos's education methods.

In particular, Amos always likes to show off his son and his own education methods.

This caused Amos to offend many people in the Ministry of Magic, so he was unable to be promoted and ended up in a bad situation similar to Mr. Weasley.

Several people chatted and walked towards the 'Special Camp'.

We also passed through several ordinary campsites.

Those camps seemed a bit crowded, and most of the tents squeezed together inside looked almost nothing special.

Their owners had obviously gone to great lengths to make them as similar to Muggle tents as possible, with just a few slight nods, a chimney, a bell rope, or a weather vane.

But after arriving at the 'Special Camp', everything was different.

The Ministry of Magic has prepared tents for guests here.

And because this place is protected by the [Muggle Expelling Curse], these tents are extremely gorgeous and also have magical features.

Just like the tent assigned to John.

To describe it as a tent is simply inappropriate.

Because it uses a lot of silk very luxuriously, it is tall and big like a palace, with carefully manicured gardens on the side.

"Well - it seems that the tent I brought is no longer of use."

Mr. Weasley said with a shrug.

By this time, Michelle, Harry and others had already rushed into the tent cheering.

The space inside is much larger than it looks from the outside, and the decoration is indeed palace-style. Although it doesn't look as luxurious as the Lopez Manor, it is still a bit more peaceful.

"John! It's great here!"

Michelle shouted as she jumped on a giant couch.

Seeing her happy look, John also smiled.

It has always been like this.

As long as Michelle is happy, his mood will also improve.

Rooms were assigned quickly.

The girls were assigned to the first floor, while John and Mr. Weasley were assigned to the second floor.

The reason why it is so divided is entirely because there is an extra large princess room on the first floor.

After packing our luggage, the sun finally rose.

The mist gradually dissipated, and John and Mr. Weasley led everyone to the general camp.

Everyone is curious about the foreign wizards gathered there.

They walked slowly between the tents, looking here and there with interest, even John.

After all, the scene here is so interesting.

For example, John saw a little boy about two years old squatting outside a large pyramid-shaped tent, holding a wand in his hand, happily poking a slug on the grass, and the slug slowly expanded into a sausage. So big.

As they reached him, the boy's mother hurried out of the tent.

"How many times have I told you, Kevin? Don't touch your dad's wand!"

She yelled, walking towards the boy and stepping on the giant slug.

With an exclamation of 'Ouch', the insect exploded, almost causing the boy's mother to slip down.

This also made her yelling and scolding even louder.

The little boy kept crying:

"You crushed Chong Chong! You crushed Chong Chong!"

After walking for a while, they saw two little witches about the same age as Kevin riding toy broomsticks and flying close to the lawn.

Behind them, two Ministry of Magic officials were chasing.

While chasing, I was still complaining:

"It's actually broad daylight! My parents are probably sleeping in..."

"This is normal. When there are more people, all kinds of troublesome things will happen." Mr. Weasley seemed to recall some painful memories and sighed, "It is really difficult to organize work!"

It was hard for John to disagree with what Mr. Weasley said.

Because while they were talking, he saw another strange scene.

Not far from them, two men were arguing fiercely.

One of them was very old and was wearing a long printed pajamas.

Another wizard, who was obviously working for the Ministry, was holding up a pair of pinstriped trousers and was so angry that he was almost crying.

"Just put it on, Archie." The Ministry of Magic wizard begged, "You can't walk around in clothes like this. The Muggle at the gate is already suspicious!"

"I bought these trousers in a Muggle shop," the old wizard said stubbornly, "Muggles also wear them."

"Only Muggle women wear it, Archie, not men, so men wear this."

screamed the Ministry wizard, waving his trousers.

"I don't wear them," said old Archie angrily. "I'd rather have a wholesome breeze blow my ass, thank you."

Hearing this, John finally couldn't help laughing.

Michelle and Hermione burst into laughter.

John and others walked around the ordinary camp, and the various strange things they encountered along the way made the smiles on their faces almost never disappear.

While they were wandering around, Bill, Charlie and Percy finally arrived at John's tent under the guidance of the wizards from the Ministry of Magic.

Standing outside the tent.

Looking up at this gorgeous palace that could hardly be called a tent, the three of them looked a bit stunned.

Although after listening to the introduction by the wizards from the Ministry of Magic, they were mentally prepared that the conditions here would be better.

But after actually being there, they were still shocked.

"This is really... a little too outrageous."

Charlie sighed stammering.

He has been in the Fire Dragon Sanctuary, which is the wilderness, all year round, and has never seen such a scene.
