Chapter 549: “Jerry’s Face Value”
Rita, however, was not about to miss out on this prime interview opportunity.
She was well aware that she wasnt the only reporter seeking an exclusive interview with Jerry at the Quidditch World Cup camp.
Numerous reporters from different newspapers across various countries had joined her in the pursuit of Jerry, all eager to be the first to interview him and break the story.
Rita was not going to let this chance slip through her fingers.
After all, Jerry was now the most sought-after player in the Quidditch finals, and as the innovator of the new portal magic, he was the darling of the press.
So, as Rita and her cameraman made a stand at the entrance to the magical tent, Jerry felt like he was being hounded by a swarm of Bludgers.Checkk new novel chapters at
Hed do almost anything to avoid her relentless questioning.
Mr. Carmen, how did you come up with the idea for such a brilliant form of magic? Did your invention stem from a desire to contribute to the wizarding world? Rita once more poised her Quick-Quotes Quill, making it clear she wasnt going to let him go without an answer.
As Jerry contemplated his response, he realized he had an opportunity to provide an answer that would capture everyones attention.
Well, actually, its not about wanting to contribute, Jerry began, looking contemplative. You see, Im not allowed to use Apparition at my age, so I created the Portal for the sole purpose of facilitating long-distance travel during the summer.
Huh? Is that the only reason I wonder? Sounds too ordinary Rita blinked, momentarily caught off guard by his unusual response.
But then her eyes gleamed with excitement as she realized that this unexpected answer was even more attention-grabbing and sensational.
Meanwhile, the photographer accompanying her promptly raised his enchanted camera, eager to capture Jerry in the act.
So, Mr. Carmen, as mentioned earlier, youve successfully mastered the use of these portals? Rita inquired, getting back to the crux of the matter.
Jerry gave a faint, confident smile, Of course, and I can show you.
With that, he drew a ring of fire behind him. Just step through this circle of fire, and youll find yourself in the African savannah. You can test it, Mr. Photographer, take a photo there, and well run it in tomorrows paper as proof.
Ritas eyes practically sparkled with delight as she could already envision the headline for tomorrows Daily Prophet: The Portal from England to Africa.
The story was bound to be a hit.
Ron, however, expressed his bewilderment when he noticed the overwhelmingly green surroundings.
Whys everything green? Am I seeing things? Ron asked, rubbing his eyes.
They discovered a substantial tent adorned with an outer layer of clover decorations.
Initially, it gave the impression of an oddly sculpted green hill.
A wizened wizard approached, offering green clover decorations. The Irish teams emblem, the lucky shamrock! Get one for your tent for five silver Sickles!
Hermione, representing the English team, refused the offer with a simple Sorry, we support England.
Harry, his curiosity piqued, wondered aloud, I wonder what kind of tents the England team supporters have?
As the elderly wizard departed, Jerry smiled and gestured towards a prominent tent adorned with the English Red Cross flag in the distance, saying, Lets go check it out.
Upon crossing from the Irish supporters area to the English supporters tents, everyone, Jerry included, was taken aback by what they encountered.
What did they see?
Every single tent sported a common emblem.
The emblem depicted a congenial and dashing visage with chestnut hair, angular features, and an occasional winking smile.
And the face belonged to none other than Jerry.
Enchanted by the sight, Hermione exclaimed, This looks fantastic! Lets get one and put it on our tent!
She gazed at the tent, where countless Jerrys blinked and grinned at her, small stars twinkling in their eyes.
Jerry found himself in disbelief and could only shake his head in reply to Hermiones suggestion.
This is going to be a long day Jerry mumbled while covering his eyes.
Ron and Harry laughed while putting their arms around Jerrys shoulder.
