Hogwarts becomes host

The Crucible seems to be influenced by Muggle amusement parks.

It is divided into five major areas, food and circus area, castle area, magical animal area, water world, and flight area.

The dining and circus areas are located in the center. No matter which area you want to go to, you must pass through this area even if you leave the amusement park.

This is a place for tourists to rest, eat, and watch performances. There are many seats and vendors selling food, second-hand goods, and souvenirs.

In order to commemorate the children who ran into the crucible to play, each seat is shaped like a crucible. To know whether there is anyone sitting in those seats, you can know if there is a fire under the crucible.

When someone goes in and sits down, colorful magical fires will light up under the crucible.

In the middle is a very large circus tent. Since eating and drinking is prohibited elsewhere, people who want to eat will definitely come to this area, and other people who are tired from playing will also come to take a rest and watch the performances to pass the time.

Elaine had already begun to regret coming here. She saw Daphne at the entrance, and as soon as she entered this area, she saw Mr. Weasley leading the family and exchanging glares with the Malfoy family.

Fortunately, the most indispensable thing here is the crucible seat. The crucible-shaped seat is not only interesting, but also has a shielding effect.

Maybe they want to give the pure-blood family some privacy. After entering the crucible, the other party cannot see what people are doing inside, but the wizard inside can use a simple perspective spell to see outside.

Anyway, Elaine got into a crucible first, ready to wait for the opportunity.

In order to prevent ticket evasion, no one can apparate in the amusement park. If you want to leave the amusement park, you can only go back to the entrance area to check the ticket and leave through the fireplace.

So Elaine had to wait for the Greengrass family to leave the entrance area, and Daphne was not as easy to trick as Ron.

Although her appearance has changed, Elaine still looks a bit like she was when she was a child. If Daphne becomes suspicious, it will be useless no matter how hard she pretends.

The inside of the crucible is quite comfortable, neither hot nor cold, and the space is very large. The seats are all cushioned and feel like a sofa when you sit down. The menu on the table lists the products of all the vendors in the eating area; if you want to order, just check After making your selection, the menu will turn into paper cranes and fly away, and soon the vendor will deliver the food.

There are also decorations on the thick walls of the crucible, a portrait of the founder with various introductions about him written next to it, and two large enchanted windows, where you can see people coming and going outside, and you can also see Circus performance in a tent.

In terms of enjoyment, the wizard has indeed used magic to its limit.

The Weasley family and Malfoy exchanged a few words before leaving. From the direction they left, it seemed that they were going to the flying area. The flying area is the broomstick area. The games in that area basically involve riding on flying broomsticks. Playing with broomsticks fits the Weasley family’s personality very well.

But Percy left alone. After saying a few words to his parents, he went to the water world. He seemed to have no interest in flying broomsticks.

The Malfoy family never left, seemingly waiting for the Greengrass family.

Elaine saw Daphne and her mother greeting Mrs. Malfoy with a smile on her face, and Daphne also said hello to Draco happily. The little girl behind her looked a little shy, holding on to the hem of Daphne's skirt.

Somehow, Elaine suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Well, Malfoy's smile always reminded her of the Ministry of Magic dinner three years ago, and she really wanted to find trouble.

After the two ladies complimented each other, they took a few children in the direction of the magical animal area. The girl next to Daphne must be her sister Astoria. She looked very excited and interacted with Draco's somewhat bored expression. In contrast, Daphne's smile was as gentle as usual and nothing could be seen.

The magical animal area is similar to a zoo. There are all kinds of magical creatures in it. The main customers are children and women. There are no sharp teeth and claws, only cute, furry and beautiful animals.

Now, should I follow them and cause trouble for them secretly, or should I leave?

Of course not.

Adair didn't help, and Elaine didn't think her magic could fool Lucius. The opponent was an elite Death Eater. She had only learned magic for more than a year, and there was a clear gap in her skills.

If you use all your strength, the magic of music is too obvious, so this thing is not suitable for yin people.

But it's too cowardly to leave like this. You've spent money on it, so why should you hide?

Anyway, the playground is big enough, can’t I go to other areas to play?

She refused to admit it when she encountered him. She didn't believe that Daphne would dare to blatantly pester her with Malfoy nearby.

After making up her mind, Elaine left the crucible and walked towards the water world.

Water World is a performance area for water magic. There is water everywhere because it is built on a huge pool.

It doesn't matter, the pool is not deep and adults can step into it, but their clothes will get soaked.

If you want to enter the water world, you must spend a Sickle and let the wizard at the amusement park cast a spell on your shoes, so that you can jump on the water without any worries.

However, please note that magic is limited and expires in three hours. If you don't find staff to cover the new magic in advance, prepare to swim.

Elaine walked around and took a look. Although she saw a lot of similar Muggle amusement equipment, there were also some special and unique ones.

Water duel, use two wands that can only spray water at each other to experience the fun of dueling with your partners

Isn't this just a water gun? But it's fun to watch Percy kill everyone.

Water bumper boats are a bit similar to bumper cars, but here they are boats.

The little wizard goes up to drive, and the staff will help all the boats with protective spells, and the boats collide with each other in the pool.

When the protective spell is broken by multiple impacts, the ship will be silent, but the little wizard will be ejected into the sky by the magic on the ship first, and then land safely, except for being splashed with water. There will be no danger.

Water Clay, this is probably the most magical game area, although it costs an extra 20 kats.

The gameplay is also very simple. Mix the condensation sand and water provided by the staff, and the water can be temporarily formed into various shapes, but the ratio of condensation sand and water must be controlled by yourself.

Add too much water and the finished product will be too soft; add too much sand and the finished product will be too hard.

Elaine curiously pinched a little man with a sword and came out. When she was done, the old wizard next to her waved his wand, and the little man came alive and cut the big fire dragon made by another child into pieces.

The big fire dragon is an example of adding too much water. It was soft and the fire dragon's claws hit the villain with no force at all. The child was so angry that he cried and made his parents pick out another 20 kats. , recreate a work.

Well, parents’ money is easy to be deceived.

The water dance performance, haha, directly copied Muggle creativity.

The difference is that Muggles use motors, computers and sprinklers, while wizards directly use wands and magic.

Elaine wasn't really looking forward to it, but she didn't expect that the magic version would actually do tricks.

Since the performer was a human being, it was much more interesting than the usual water dance show. In the middle of the performance, the robes of the performing witches were all wet with water, but they still didn't care, and instead danced with the water pillars. .

A young and beautiful witch, close-fitting clothes, and colorful light and water.

Many wizards were stunned. They cheered loudly. Regardless of the dark faces of the female companions around them, they threw Galleons and Sickles into the tip box next to them. Elaine also felt that this performance was very exciting and completely shocked the Muggles. Water dance.

Therefore, she also tipped ten galleons generously.

After leaving the performance venue, she was about to go to the next place to continue shopping, but Elaine's waist was suddenly pinched.

She lowered her head subconsciously because of the pain. Daphne was staring at her with a smile on her face.

This scene looked really familiar. Elaine looked around and saw that several young wizards watching the show with her were also being grabbed by different women.

Something seems wrong.

"Little sister, you──hiss"

Daphne stepped hard on Elaine's instep.

"Okay, why don't you go and stay with Malfoy? What do you want to do when you come to me?"

"Draco and I don't have that good of a relationship. He wants to go to the flight area. After the negotiation, we split up." After casting a glance at Elaine, Daphne moved away, but her hand was still squeezing Elaine's. Waist, "You're a girl, why are you coming here to watch a performance like this?"

"I just like watching this kind of performance, don't you?"

"Okay, I'll get Hermione to dance for you another day."

"Hermione wouldn't do such stupid things with you." After finally swallowing her words, Elaine slapped Daphne's hand away and rubbed her waist. "So, why did you come to me? Take a good vacation. I don't want Malfoy to ruin my mood."

"I don't want to either, and I believe Draco doesn't want to either." Daphne sighed, "But there's nothing you can do about it. Sometimes you always have to give the other person a little face, and everyone will be better off. On the contrary, it's easy to make enemies with your approach."

"Then you still──"

"It is now eleven o'clock in the morning. The adults said that we should go home at four in the afternoon. Draco and I will meet at about three-thirty. During this period, I can go wherever I want as long as I don't leave the campus."

"Then let me change the question, how did you know I was here?"

"The Christmas gift I gave you contained a special locating spell made by the Greengrass family. Within twenty feet, I can feel that the way to remove your presence has already been stuck in the book, and you can't even open it. "

"Why should I read a book called Twelve Magical Tips to Conquer Witches?" Elaine laughed angrily, "Just because it's a Christmas gift? It's already in your favor that you didn't burn it. .”

"Okay, I thought you would like it, but it seems I was wrong." Daphne hugged Elaine's wrist without caring, "Go shopping with me."

"Give me a reason."

"Don't you think it's boring to go to the amusement park alone? If so, just pretend I didn't say it."

Daphne looked at Elaine with a smile, and Elaine glared back at her angrily, and tried her best to break free from the arms being held.

Then, he held Daphne's hand.

"gone."

***

It is indeed more fun to visit two people than alone. Elaine and Daphne continued to visit the rest of the water world.

During the mermaid concert, there were two staff at the door handing out seashells to the tourists, because the mermaid's singing only becomes beautiful in the water, and turns into a harsh noise in the air.

The enchanted seashells contain water. If you put them next to your ears, the water in the seashells will wrap around your ears. With the addition of sound transmission magic, you can enjoy the beautiful mermaid singing without getting your clothes wet. .

In the water whirlpool, the wizards were riding in boats, screaming and being sucked into the whirlpool made of magic. Neither Elaine nor Daphne had any interest in this crazy game, but it was very popular and they didn't know what was special in it. Yes, the two girls didn’t want to try it at all anyway.

The underwater tunnel is a magical passage built at the bottom of the pool. It is not only waterproof, but also casts a perspective spell.

After playing all the way to the edge of the water world, you can take this tunnel back to the center of the amusement park. It is a road prepared for wizards who are tired of playing. However, you have to pay an additional admission fee of 1 galleon.

Along the tunnel, you can enjoy the underwater scenery in the pool, which contains colorful corals, huge purple aquatic plants, schools of fish, mermaid tribes, and various aquatic magical animals.

After exiting the tunnel, the two had lunch in the eating area.

Because they were afraid of bumping into family members, they arrived at the dining area after two o'clock. They did miss Greengrass or Malfoy, but they bumped into the Weasley family.

Feeling guilty, Elaine quickly pushed Daphne into the small crucible closest to them, which was a pink crucible. By the time Elaine discovered that there was something wrong with the layout inside, it was already too late.

Pink walls, goose-yellow heart-shaped seats, plus the big red heart-shaped table in the center, and even the windows are two hearts. This is basically a seat for couples.

What embarrassed Elaine the most was that there was a famous quote from Shelley written on the wall in the center: All love is sweet, whether given or returned.

Daphne sat down gracefully. Although her expression looked like she was holding back a smile, one of her strengths was that she knew how to read the air.

Maybe it was because she was a Legilimency. At least, she didn't tease Elaine.

There were no cameras in the live broadcast room, and without the barrage of ridicule, Elaine quickly got rid of her embarrassment.

Seats are not just for people to sit on, no matter what they look like

So the two of them calmly ordered food and started eating───I have to say that although the food is expensive, it is worth the money. It is much more delicious than the restaurants in Diagon Alley, which surprised Elaine. different.

"You seem different today." Daphne spoke up while Elaine was concentrating on destroying the seafood pasta. “Feels more relaxed and casual than usual”

"What?" Elaine was stunned for a moment, then continued eating noodles. "Isn't the purpose of vacation meant to be relaxing?"

"That's true." Daphne murmured to herself. "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

After finishing lunch, Daphne had one hour left to meet her family, so Elaine did not plan to go to other areas, so she accompanied Daphne to pick out used goods and souvenirs, and watched circus performances to pass the time.

Maybe it's because they used to serve pure-blood families. The things sold by the vendors here are really good, exquisite and beautiful. Of course, the prices are also a bit expensive, but Elaine didn't care, so she bought a few and planned to go back and send them to others. friend.

Of course Daphne also has one, and Elaine picked a silver bracelet with a simple and elegant design, which looks pretty good.

Soon, the time was up. In order not to ruin the good mood of the day by meeting Malfoy, Elaine left first.

Looking at her leaving figure and stroking the silver bracelet on her wrist, Daphne lowered her head slightly, wondering what she was thinking.
