"Weasley, two tents, booked two days ago for one night, right?" Mr. Roberts asked looking at a form pasted on the door.

"That's right," Mr. Weasley replied.

Once confirmed, it's time to pay. This is a very strange thing. Mr. Weasley, who claims to be very interested in Muggles, does not know Muggles' currency, and needs the help of real Muggles to pass the test.

He blushed and stepped back, trying to call Harry over. Mr. Granger, who chatted with him all night, was very aware of Arthur Weasley's true knowledge of Muggles, so he took the initiative to stand up and communicate with Mr. Roberts.

"Let us both pay together, G-L-J, for a tent, for the same night."

"No problem." Mr. Roberts readily agreed, but Mr. Weasley's behavior made him suspicious again.

While Mr. Granger was paying, Arthur put his hands on his hips and muttered: "Is this one worth five dollars? Ah, I saw the number on it, it's fifty, why did you give two fifty—" 】

"My God, that's a five-pound note!" Mr. Granger corrected in a low voice, confused: couldn't Arthur see the numbers on the bill? Although the two sterling colorways are indeed similar.

This involves British currency history. To put it simply, the British banks began to issue new banknotes in 1928. They named this new money "A-series banknotes".

1994 coincided with the rotation of the D-series and E-series pounds. The old pound hadn’t been abolished yet, and the new pound had just been issued, so the currency was a bit confusing. The old fifty pounds and the new five pounds were somewhat similar in color, so It's okay to be confused.

All present were disturbed to find that Mr. Roberts had heard their conversation verbatim.

Mr. Arthur's remarks are really not like what an adult can say.

"First time in the UK?" asked Mr Roberts as he got some change.

Mr. Weasley: ?

"You're not the first person who can't figure out the amount of money. There were two people who wanted to pay with gold coins just now. What's even more strange is that there are too many tourists this year, there are hundreds of people..." Mr. Roberts said with some thought Said thoughtfully: "It's very strange, it seems that people from all over the world are gathering here, and there are many weird people - it feels like they are here to participate in a grand party."

At this time, a wizard fell from the sky and landed behind Mr. Roberts.

"Forget it all!" he snapped, pointing the tip of his stick at Mr. Roberts.

Roberts' eyes suddenly became slack. Soon, he loosened his frown, and his expression became dazed. His memory has been tampered with.

He calmly returned the plan of the camp and the change to Mr. Granger, and then everyone walked towards the camp accompanied by the wizard just now.

The Grangers who witnessed the whole process fell into silence. On the way from the stone house to the camp, the two of them didn't speak a word until the wizard apparated away.

"So you deal with people... who are not wizards in that way? Erase their memories?" Mr. Granger was silent for a moment, and asked Mr. Weasley.

Tom: ...

He shivered and realized that things didn't seem very good? Just now, a wizard cast an Oblivion Curse on a Muggle in front of Mr. Granger. If you study it carefully, it may be difficult for people to accept it.

"Well, that's right," Mr. Weasley nodded, "because of the requirements of the Secrecy Act, but don't worry, the Ministry of Magic chose a very good master of the Oblivion Curse, and it won't cause any harm."

The Oblivion Curse is a very dangerous spell, and the wizard who casts the spell needs to have strong enough control, otherwise it will bring very bad consequences.

In the original world line, Bertha Jorkins fell under the old Crouch's forgetting spell, and had a serious problem with her mental state, so she had to go on vacation to relieve it. Lockhart even used his own Forgetting Curse to send himself to the hospital, and spent the rest of his life in a daze.

Spells involving memory require highly skilled wizards to cast.

Mr. Granger didn't quite believe Arthur's words. Although he was only a dentist, he was also a doctor, and his understanding of the human body was far more detailed than anyone present. He felt that even if his new friend swore that the spell would not cause harm, it would not be a good thing to frequently change the memory.

Maybe the magic is a little different? He comforted himself in this way, with non-magic technology, it is almost impossible to modify people's memory in a targeted manner. Although everyone likes to play the meme of "big memory recovery technique" when chatting, everyone knows that it is a trick of torture.

Even if you beat a bear until it admits it's a rabbit, deep down it still knows it's a bear. Magic is different. Magic can make you think that you are a rabbit from the bottom of your heart.

This is magic!

Mr. Granger shivered. He looked back at Mr. Roberts who stood at the door of his cabin and looked up at the sky. This is the Muggle who touched the interests of wizards!

His peaceful appearance made Mr. Granger feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart. But when his eyes fell on his daughter, the discomfort in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot—he still had his daughter.

That feeling was like grabbing a boat ticket before the flood broke out. He stood on the side of the boat and looked at the passers-by who were submerged by the flood on the bank. Even though I felt the sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox in my heart, I was "going ashore" after all.

He didn't think about what would happen to him when his daughter was not around. Thinking too much will only make you uneasy.

"That's it..." Mrs. Granger also fell into thinking after listening to Mr. Weasley's explanation, "So why can't they be dismissed? Wouldn't it be better to send that Mr. Roberts to another place for vacation? "

Mr. Granger caught his breath: Yeah, it seems like it wouldn't be hard to send that hapless camp warden on vacation, right?

"Who knows? Maybe the Ministry has its own ideas." Mr. Weasley was not thinking about it at all. He was trying to find a place for his family to camp.

Mr. Granger sank again.

"Maybe it's a matter of scale?" Tom couldn't stand it anymore, and decided to help enlighten Mr. Granger—at least he could help him find a good excuse.

Note: Mr Weasley's confusion of £5 and £20 in the original book is indeed confusing. Pictures of pounds can be found online, and the color of the £5 and £20 is completely different, even considering the different versions, it doesn't make sense at all.
