However, the Apparition he described in his book still retained this weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had intentionally preserved this flaw. After all, if Apparition across the wizarding world became completely unaffected by Anti-Apparition spells, it would pose a significant threat to the entire magical community.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Weasley twins immediately understood. As soon as the match was over, they planned to sneak into their father's room to steal the book—or simply buy a copy from Diagon Alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Arthur, Bill, and Charlie also Apparated in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Weasley, one of the rare witches uninterested in Quidditch, had chosen not to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning, George, Arthur!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone gathered, two figures emerged from the misty swamp. They were dressed like Muggles—albeit clearly unfamiliar with Muggle fashion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A floral suit paired with tall rubber boots, and a Scottish kilt matched with a South American poncho.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were Ministry of Magic employees patrolling the outskirts of the stadium. Their job was to guide wizards arriving by Apparition or Portkey and to keep curious Muggles away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning, Basil, Cawkes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George and the Weasleys raised their hands in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basil, dressed in the floral suit, walked up looking weary and envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You lot are lucky not to be on duty. We've been stationed here since last night and have been running around non-stop ever since.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out a piece of parchment and glanced at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're staying at the first campsite. Walk forward about a quarter of a mile. The camp administrator there is Roberts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks, Basil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George and Arthur greeted the two men and then led the group toward the campsite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Quidditch World Cup had drawn nearly 100,000 wizards from around the world. To prevent detection by increasingly tech-savvy Muggles, the Ministry had chosen an exceptionally remote location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had spent several months constructing a stadium capable of holding 100,000 spectators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing a desolate swamp and magical thick fog, they climbed a gently sloping hill of green grass and finally arrived at their destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, so many people! This is amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione and the others couldn't help exclaiming in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had never seen so many wizards gathered in one place. It was truly fascinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grassland was covered in countless tents, each flying little flags of various colors, stretching out as far as the eye could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the open spaces outside the tents, wizards of all ages from different countries mingled. Stalls had sprung up to accommodate the crowd, selling food, drinks, supplies, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also unexpected magical performances and all kinds of advertisements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ministry of Magic hadn't organized the Quidditch World Cup just for honor—it was also for Galleons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Held once every four years, the World Cup brought together 100,000 wizards whose collective spending far exceeded the cost of building the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without considering anything else, just the sale of 100,000 tickets was already a huge profit. Add in the rental fees for magical tents and vendor stalls, and the revenue skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why each time the Quidditch World Cup came around, ministers from magical governments across the globe fiercely competed to host it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that, during the most intense dispute, the ministers even came to blows at an international conference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, no one used wands—they resolved it with their fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our tent is over there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George scanned the area and quickly located their tent in the first zone. After registering with the camp administrator, he led everyone inside a magically expanded tent using the Extension Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he stepped inside, he saw someone waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"George, finally! Come with me to the stadium—there are only three hours left before the match starts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ludo Bagman lit up when he saw George, grabbing his arm excitedly and pulling him out of the tent to meet up with the team at the stadium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was leading the England team, which had made it to the finals. Lately, he had been basking in glory, pouring everything he had—heart and soul—into this final match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not the grand finale would go smoothly now depended entirely on George.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without George, there was no way the Ireland team could defeat Bulgaria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why Bagman had been waiting at the Weasleys' tent since early morning for George to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then, I'll be off. See you all after the match!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George didn't object. He waved to Hermione and the others and got ready to follow Ludo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione and her friends shouted after him excitedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"George! We'll be cheering for you with everything we've got—bring home the championship!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he exited the tent, George spotted Harry, who had arrived with Sirius. They exchanged greetings before Harry and Sirius also entered the Weasleys' tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his way to the stadium, George ran into many familiar faces—most of them students from Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had come with their families to watch the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a good half hour, passing through several sections of magical tents, George finally reached a large patch of elevated grassland and caught sight of the stadium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the outside, the stadium resembled a typical Muggle football arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference was that a large section beneath the surface had been hollowed out to form a vast underground spectator area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The actual Quidditch pitch was deep below ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a stadium large enough to seat 100,000 wizards had been built above ground, it would be far too conspicuous. Even with magic, it would be difficult to hide from Muggle eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But placing it underground solved the problem—once the event ended, magic could quickly restore the land to its original state, making it far less likely to attract attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dumbledore is here too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As George entered the stadium, he spotted Dumbledore speaking with Minister Fudge, along with Professors Snape, McGonagall, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn't surprising. After all, Azkaban had been destroyed and the Death Eaters had escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Fudge refused to admit publicly that Voldemort was behind it, insisting it had been a freak accident, he was clearly nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was probably afraid that the Death Eaters would use the Quidditch World Cup as an opportunity to cause chaos—something that would be disastrous for his reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many were already calling for his resignation, criticizing him for failing to capture even a single Death Eater since the prison break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything went wrong during the Quidditch World Cup—if dozens of wizards were injured or killed—no excuse would save Fudge. He'd be finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why Fudge had specially invited Dumbledore and several Hogwarts professors to serve as protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1134,"2026-06-10T06:47:12.819Z",1,"novelbin.me","82714f6b5b059440b94030518d3e7af933b7715d5717e4bd794c6de99d57f9d9","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-490","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-488",918,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-cover.jpg"]
