A day at Hogwarts.

Chapter 424 Someone wants to kidnap him
Although Harry and his companions had been setting up stalls near the stadium for a long time, this was the first time they had walked into the tent area.

"That summer, Charles took you camping?" Hermione said to Harry in surprise. "Charles originally invited me to go, but I was... growing teeth at that time."

"What a shame," said Harry.

"Compared to that campground, this is so much fun."

The tents of wizards from all over the world are all strange and varied. Some tents have a chimney sticking out of them, and some are like a small castle. Several African wizards nearby are opening a series of thatched houses like an umbrella, and there is a pyramid a few steps ahead.

There was also a tent that looked like a palace, with gorgeous colorful silk on the outside. Draco Malfoy was talking to a Slytherin girl in front of the tent.

Ron frowned and said, "How come he is still so rich."

After the disappearance of the Malfoys and Malfoy Village, many people thought that the Malfoy family was going to decline.

But now it doesn't seem to be the case. Malfoy stood in front of the tent, greeting the Ministry of Magic staff and Hogwarts students passing by, and raised his eyebrows at Ron provocatively, as if to declare that the Malfoy family is still the Malfoy family.

Harry ignored Malfoy and said to Ron, "Maybe he has dug up the treasure left by his ancestors."

"Charles once packed up a large amount of pocket money and buried it in the garden, saying that it could be dug out and used if something unexpected happened in the future."

As he finished speaking, he noticed that the girl who had just been talking to Malfoy was walking towards him and was almost bumped into by two little girls riding toy broomsticks.

"Good morning, Potter, Granger, and Weasley." Daphne Greengrass greeted the three of them warmly, which was something she had never seen before.

Before this, Daphne had only spoken to Harry twice at the beginning of the school year, and had said "move aside" to Hermione several times in the library.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Harry and the others responded politely.

Daphne saw the three of them with kettles and pots and asked, "Are you going to get some water?"

Harry responded, "Yeah, let's go to the tap."

Daphne said, "We just happened to be passing by my tent, let's go together."

Harry and his trio sensed that something was amiss, but couldn't tell what.

Along the way, Daphne chatted about some small talk, such as when Harry and his friends arrived and where the tent was, and casually asked, "Is Smith with you?"

Harry replied: "He was abroad for the entire summer and only came back once. He probably didn't come to watch the game."

Daphne said a little disappointedly, "So that's how it is."

At this time they came to the big tent of the Greengrass family. Daphne asked Harry and the other two to wait, went into the tent and took out three boxes of cream cakes for them.

Harry and his trio looked at the cakes in their hands and looked at each other.

Harry asked, "Is there some conspiracy behind this?"

Hermione thought for a moment and said, "She doesn't have to hurt us."

The two discussed for a long time but could not come to a conclusion.

Ron suddenly said, "Could her target be Charles?"

Harry and Hermione looked at each other and suddenly everything became clear.

"Harry! Ron! Hermione!"

Not far ahead of them, Seamus was waving excitedly, holding the same cake box in his other hand.

Seamus' mother, Mrs. Finnigan, was there, as well as Neville and Dean Thomas.

Harry knew Mrs. Finnigan, having worked in her shop after running away from home the year before, so he went over to say hello.

Seamus's family got three tickets, but his father couldn't come because of work, so he invited Dean. Neville had his own ticket, his parents were Aurors, and they were working overtime, and his grandmother didn't like crowded places, so he came to Seamus's place to play.

They chatted for a while, and Seamus saw Harry and the others holding cakes, so he asked, "Did you meet Daphne Greengrass too?"

Harry nodded.

"She looks a bit odd," said Hermione.

Ron asked Seamus, "Did she ask you about Charles?"

Seamus nodded immediately and said, "Yeah, is she going to do anything bad to Charles?"

Dean asked nervously, "Are you saying she's going to kidnap Charles?"

Neville also became nervous: "Should we report it to the Auror office?"

In their eyes, Charles is now a wealthy man who owns a restaurant and a company and is very worth kidnapping.

At this time Ron said: "Is it possible that Greengrass just fell in love with Charles?"

Dean was surprised and said, "It's not impossible."

Neville nodded.

However, Seamus shook his head and said, "Probably not. She has never spoken to Charles before. Charles has never mentioned her to me."

This time it was Ron's turn to not insist on his opinion. After all, Seamus and Charles were in the same dormitory, and if anything happened he would definitely be the first to know.

Charles and Daphne had almost no interactions before, so no one would believe if she suddenly said that she was interested in Charles.

Harry said seriously, "I just saw a man who looked like Charles. I will go to the tent of the Dancing Grass Restaurant to find him and remind him to be careful."

Seamus said, "I went there just now and Charles wasn't there."

Hermione said, "Then let's look around the camp."

Several people quickly assigned the tasks and went to different camps to find Charles.

They all felt that although Charles didn't usually watch Quidditch matches, he would definitely not miss such a lively place.

Harry and his group continued to fetch water, ignoring the interesting tents of the wizards along the way and discussing Daphne's conspiracy in low voices.

They met other classmates they knew on the way.

"Smith?" Qiu Zhang thought for a moment, "I didn't see him."

Harry whispered to her, "If you see him, tell him to be careful, someone might do something bad to him."

Qiu Zhang realized the seriousness of the situation and agreed seriously.

Not long after, Qiu Zhang met other Ravenclaw students and asked them to pay attention to see if they had seen Smith. If so, they should remind him to be careful.

"Someone wants to kidnap Smith?" Cedric looked at Hannah Abbott in surprise. "Who told you that?"

Hannah said, "Marietta Edgemore from Ravenclaw and Katie Bell from Gryffindor. Everyone is looking for Smith."

Cedric's father, Amos Diggory, heard the conversation between the two of them and said to his son after Hannah left: "Maybe someone is jealous of the Dancing Grass Restaurant making a lot of money. You go find Smith in the camp and I will report to the minister."

Amos and Charles are both from the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Now that Charles is in danger, he naturally wants to help.
