Chapter 553: Sending You a Thousand Miles Away (First Update)
Chapter 553: Sending You a Thousand Miles Away (First Update)
However, Rita clearly wasn't about to let this perfect interview opportunity slip away.
After all, she wasn't the only journalist in the Quidditch World Cup camp who wanted to interview Jerry.
Dozens of journalists from various newspapers in different countries had just accompanied her to the English Quidditch team's tent, all hoping to be the first to interview Jerry and publish a report.
Unfortunately, they all came up empty-handed; Jerry wasn't in the team's tent at all.
If it weren't for her chance encounter with the Ministry of Magic's new employee, Percy, she wouldn't have known that Jerry was actually staying in the Weasley family's tent.
Right now, Jerry was not only the most popular player in the Quidditch final but also the creator of the new Magic Portal, making him the apple of every journalist's eye.
Since she had managed to secure the first interview, there was no way she was going to let it go.
Seeing Rita and her cameraman blocking the entrance to the Magic tent, unwilling to move no matter what, Jerry almost sent an Avada Kedavra her way.
"Mr. Carmen, how did you come up with such a brilliant piece of Magic? Were you always thinking about contributing to the Wizarding world, which led you to research this?"
Rita adopted a stance that clearly said she wouldn't budge until she got an answer.
Narrowing his eyes at Rita, he suddenly had an idea.
"Oh, not really. It's just that my age doesn't allow me to use the Phantom Shift, so I created the portal to facilitate long-distance travel during my summer break."
"Ah... So that's the reason, this... This is truly surprising!"
Rita was initially taken aback, but then her eyes lit up as she quickly jotted down this unusual response with her Magic Pen. She knew that such an unconventional answer would be more newsworthy and more likely to attract attention.
The cameraman behind her immediately raised his Magic Camera and started taking pictures of Jerry.
"So, Mr. Carmen, you have indeed mastered the use of the portal, as Mr. Fair mentioned earlier?"
Rita asked the most crucial question.
Jerry's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Of course, I'll demonstrate."
He then casually drew a ring of fire behind him.
"Step through this ring of fire, and you'll be transported directly to the African savanna. You and the cameraman can try it out, take a photo there, and publish it in tomorrow's newspaper as proof."
"Oh, what a great idea!"
Rita's eyes sparkled. She had already thought of the headline for the next day's Daily Prophet: "Portal from Britain to Africa", which would surely be a big hit.
With that in mind, she eagerly pulled the cameraman through the portal.
"Sure enough, it's the African savanna. Quick, take a photo and include the portal in the shot."
Seeing a herd of zebras in the distance, Rita excitedly instructed the cameraman.
However, at that moment, Jerry's voice came hurriedly from the other side of the portal.
"Oh no, the portal is unstable and about to collapse. You need to come back, hurry, hurry..."
Before Rita and the cameraman could react, the ring of fire vanished.
Suddenly, they were left in a state of confusion.
"Rita, quickly take out your wand. It looks like things are about to get bad."
To make matters worse, shortly after the fire ring disappeared, a large pack of salivating hyenas began to circle around them. The cameraman quickly put down his camera, pulled out his wand, and warned Rita, who was still flustered.
"I'll send you away, a thousand miles away. No one should bother us for the rest of the day, so we can set off now!"
After extinguishing the fire, Jerry turned to Hermione and the others, who were still staring in amazement, and smiled.
The Weasley brothers had already given Jerry a thumbs-up.
The twins loved this kind of mischief and had decided that when they returned, they would definitely go to Diagon Alley Bookstore in Diagon Alley to buy two of Jerry's magic books and learn this portal magic.
With laughter and chatter, the group set off again.
To prevent another incident like the one just now, Jerry put on a mask that covered half of his face as soon as they left the tent.
As the most popular Seeker for the English Quidditch team, he had quite a few fans in the Wizarding world, and being recognized would be quite troublesome.
By the time they left the tent, it was already past six o'clock. The sun was slowly rising on the coastline, casting its light over the land, and the campsite was becoming even more lively.
Some Witches who had arrived early from far away were just starting to wake up.
Outside the tent next to the Weasleys', a two-year-old Witch boy was poking a slug that had swollen to the size of a sausage with a wand, which belonged to either his father or mother.
Not far from the tent, a few three- or four-year-old Witches were riding toy Flying Brooms, chasing and playing just a few inches above the ground.
“I’m the fastest Seeker Jerry, you won’t catch me!”
The little Witch flying at the front, not much faster than running, was pulling ahead of the others and shouting excitedly.
At the same time, many Witches in other tents were using their wands to start fires and prepare breakfast. There was an African male wizard in a white robe and a Salem Witch with a glittering banner.
“Huh—Is there something wrong with my eyes? Why is everything green?”
A bit further ahead, Ron suddenly rubbed his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
It turned out that a large area of tents was covered with green clover decorations, making them look like oddly shaped green hills at first glance.
“The Irish team’s symbol, the lucky clover. Would you like to buy one for your tent? Just five silver sickles!”
At that moment, an elderly Wizard holding a pile of clover decorations approached Jerry and the others to sell them.
“Sorry, we support the English team!”
Hermione stepped forward and declined directly.
Jerry was on the English team, so they naturally supported the English team.
“What do you think the tents supporting the English team should have?”
After the old Wizard left, Harry’s face was full of curiosity.
Jerry smiled and pointed to a large area of tents in the distance, all adorned with the English red cross flag.
“We can go check that out.”
Crossing the tents of the Irish team supporters, they arrived at the tents of the English team supporters, and everyone, including Jerry himself, was stunned.
What did they see?
They saw that every tent had the same sticker.
The sticker featured a face with brown hair, sharp features, and a gentle, handsome smile, occasionally blinking.
This face was none other than Jerry himself.
“This looks really good. We should buy one to stick on our tent too!”
Hermione looked at the tents, where countless Jerrys were blinking and smiling at her, and her eyes sparkled.
Jerry: “.”
