Chapter 551: Reunion at the Campsite (First Update)
Chapter 551: Reunion at the Campsite (First Update)
In the southwestern part of England, near the Devonshire coast by the English Channel, there is an extremely remote area that muggles rarely visit.
A ring of fire appeared, and Jerry pulled Hermione through from the entrance of the Granger Dental Clinic.
"Such a large Muggle-Repelling Charm!"
As they stepped out of the fire ring, a desolate grassy field shrouded in mist appeared before them.
However, Jerry knew that the mist was just a weather magic created by the Ministry of Magic to conceal muggle technology. The outer edge of the mist was also covered with a large-scale Muggle-Repelling Charm to prevent muggles from accidentally intruding.
Sure enough, as they walked forward for a few dozen meters, the mist suddenly dissipated, revealing a dense array of colorful tents that stretched along the entire coastline.
Near the tents, witches from different countries, dressed in various witch robes, were bustling about. There were also stalls selling magical items, quidditch merchandise, and young witches riding flying brooms, creating a lively atmosphere, much like a magical fair.
At the end of the tents stood a gigantic structure, far larger than the Hogwarts quidditch pitch, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of witches.
No doubt, this was the super quidditch stadium that the Ministry of Magic had spent a large amount of money and effort to build over the past year, as mentioned in the mayor's letter.
"Oh, my goodness, I've never seen so many witches gathered together!"
Hermione, looking at the endless sea of witches, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
In Hermione's experience, the most she had ever seen at one time were the hundreds of witches at Hogwarts and Diagon Alley.
However, the Quidditch World Cup had gathered almost all the quidditch enthusiasts from the entire witch community, numbering in the tens of thousands, making it a completely different experience.
"Ah!"
Just as Hermione was marveling, a wave of spatial magic rippled through the sky, and several familiar figures fell from the air, landing on the grass in front of them.
Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Harry, Ron, Ginny, and the Weasley twins.
Shortly after, Arthur, Sirius Black, and the Digorys, who had cast a levitation charm, slowly descended from the sky.
"Good morning, everyone!"
Jerry and Hermione walked over and greeted everyone one by one.
They weren't surprised by Harry and the others' arrival, as they had received a letter from Ron a few days earlier.
Harry and Sirius Black had left London early and headed to the Burrow, then agreed to meet up at five in the morning to use the portkey placed in the neighboring village of Ottery St. Catchpole to come to the match.
"Jerry, I read in the Daily Prophet that you've developed a new spatial magic called a teleportation portal. Is that true?"
Ron, placing the old shoe-like portkey at the portkey collection point at the campsite entrance, asked Jerry with curiosity.
Upon hearing Ron's question, Harry, Ginny, the Weasley brothers, as well as Arthur, Sirius Black, and the Digorys, all turned their attention to Jerry.
The most sensational event in the witch community recently, apart from the Quidditch World Cup, was the publication of Jerry Carmen's new book, "Conjectures and Applications of Long-Distance Teleportation Portals."
This magic book is now available in major bookstores, and many witches have purchased it to study.
However, due to the short time frame, no witches have yet been able to convert the magical theories described in the book into reality. Therefore, many witches remain skeptical about whether Spatial Magic can actually be achieved.
Although the Daily Prophet mentioned that the publisher's boss revealed that the author of the book, Jerry Mr. Carmen, has already mastered this Spatial Magic.
Before Jerry could respond, Hermione, standing beside him, proudly raised her chin:
"Of course it's true. Just now, Jerry used a Teleportation Portal to bring me directly from London to here. He just drew a circle, and a ring of fire appeared, and we stepped through it."
Jerry smiled as he watched Hermione excitedly recount her first experience with the Teleportation Portal and show off the special edition magic book Jerry had given her.
Hermione is a girl with a very strong sense of pride. Despite being born into a Muggle family, she has always strived to surpass young wizards who grew up in wizarding families through her own efforts.
So, in front of others, she always maintains a proud and competitive demeanor.
The fact that she is boasting about Jerry's achievements indicates that Jerry is already a very important person to her.
Hearing Hermione's words, Harry and Ron, among others, showed envious expressions. Compared to the comfort Hermione and Jerry experienced using the Teleportation Portal, their first experience with a Portkey was far from pleasant.
Using a Portkey feels like a hook pulling you from behind your navel, then transporting you to your destination.
Sometimes, the landing point is not accurate, and you might be thrown directly into the air. If you don't react in time, you could end up like they did, falling to the ground.
While Harry and the others were simply envious, adult witches like Arthur, Sirius, and Digory had more complex thoughts.
On one hand, they were astonished by Jerry's magical prowess, capable of creating a new form of Spatial Magic.
On the other hand, they were considering the potential impact on the wizarding world if the Teleportation Portal Magic were to become widespread.
Firstly, the appearance of Teleportation Portals would certainly make travel more convenient for witches, greatly benefiting the general public and playing a crucial role in the research and development of Spatial Magic.
However, it would also introduce many potential risks.
Currently, witches need to register with the Ministry of Magic for international travel, and the use of Portkeys is strictly regulated.
But if most witches were to master Teleportation Portals, these restrictions would be nearly impossible to enforce.
You cannot monitor every adult witch using a Teleportation Portal, making it much easier for them to travel to other countries.
Imagine a scenario in the Muggle world where, instead of needing passports, registration, and airplanes to travel abroad, you could simply open a Teleportation Portal to reach any corner of the world.
This would have a significant impact on governments and various industries.
Of course, Jerry has considered this, but he doesn't think it's entirely a bad thing.
The wizarding world is too conservative. Removing the barriers of distance and allowing people to travel more freely might accelerate the liberation and exchange of ideas among witches, which could be beneficial.
