The picturesque camping grounds of the Quidditch World Cup were truly a sight to behold. Witches and wizards from all corners of the earth and varying walks of life had congregated in one place, bringing with them their unique cultures and traditions. Reyna couldn't help but feel that this gathering was a tribute to humanity itself, as individuals of vastly different backgrounds had come together with a shared passion for the beloved sport of Quidditch.

As they looked up, their eyes were met with the sight of brooms soaring overhead, some flying perilously close to the ground, prompting those on the ground to instinctively duck. Meanwhile, a group of house elves rode by on camels, their small forms waving and offering friendly smiles to the onlookers.

As she strolls along, Reyna's gaze falls upon a petite stall where a woman draped in a breathtaking sari of a deep, mesmerizing shade of blue beckons to passersby, showcasing her wares.

"Hello my lovely," The woman greets her with a gracious smile. "How can I help you today?"

"This jewellery is beautiful," Reyna compliments the woman. "The detail is stunning"

"You are most kind," The woman smiles. "What's your name?"

"Reyna,"

"I must find you something as unique as your name,"

After receiving a nod of agreement from the woman, she proceeded to carefully sift through a collection of hidden treasures, finally revealing a stunning necklace to Reyna. The young witch eagerly took the piece into her hands, marvelling at its beauty. The necklace was delicately crafted from silver and adorned with a striking emerald-cut gemstone in a rich orange hue.

"Imperial topaz," The woman informs Reyna. 

"How much?" Reyna asks.

"25 galleons,"

Reyna nods, opening her bag before reaching her arm in and pulling out her purse. Sirius had given her a large sum of money for her birthday and she had bought a small portion of it with her. The younger witch places the money in front of the witch who smiles at her. 

"Reyna come on!" George calls.

"I wish you well Reyna,"

"And I you,"

Harry gazes at the tent in front of him, wearing a perplexed expression on his face. From the outside appearance, it's apparent that the tent is not spacious enough to accommodate all eight of them.

"Undetectable extension charm," Reyna says, appearing behind the boy. 

"What?"

"It's a charm used to make things have a bigger interior than it appears to," Reyna explains. "Complex magic really, my bag has one"

Reyna pushes the tent flap open and Harry enters the tent, stopping in his tracks as he stares at the sight before him. The interior of the tent was huge with there being at least four individual bedrooms, a lounge and dining area and a kitchen.

"I love magic," Harry breathes. 

"Don't we all?" Reyna nudges the boy. 

"Wanna go look at the rest of the stalls?" Harry asks the older witch.

"You're asking me if I want to go shopping?" Reyna snorts. "Of course I do"

Reyna and Harry had linked arms as the witch points out certain things to the younger wizard.

"That's Leonard Oswald," Reyna informs the wizard. "Notorious little bugger. Spins you a reel about his jewellery bringing you fortune and protection against people who would harm you"

"What's the catch?" 

"Couple of them," Reyna replies. "You buy the jewellery and gold appears in your bag-"

"So it works?"

"Leprechaun gold," Reyna shakes her head. "You have it for a few hours. By the time you look in your bag, the gold's gone and the real kicker is that his house elf Lula, proper sweetheart, is forced to steal all the gold from your bag"

"Why isn't he stopped?" 

"People say he has a stash of gold hidden in the depths of the dark woods in Germany," Reyna shrugs. "No gold, no proof"

"Why don't people avoid him?" 

"People who know of him do," Reyna replies. "But in events like these, there's new blood who haven't heard of him. He fleeces them before the match starts, and by the time they realise what's happened, he's gone. Heard he mentored Mundungus Fletcher who then fleeced him"

"I've heard that name," Harry states. "When I landed in Knockturn Alley-"

"Mundungus' usual haunt," Reyna nods. "Any goods he sells are stolen, have to respect his hustle though"

"How do you know all this?" 

"Snuffles," Reyna shrugs but her face turns serious for a second. "I am sorry Harry, I know how much you wish you could live with him"

"Pettigrew will show his face again," Harry nods to affirm himself. "Then I can live with Sirius"

"That's the spirit kiddo," 

"That's the spirit kiddo,"
