Helena looked enviously at the Muggle children sitting on their father's shoulders as they ate. But she had no choice but to follow them in line.
A young female Muggle behind Lovgood noticed them. She tried her best to hold back a boy and a girl in their teens. She said to Helena enviously, "Is that your brother or sister, nephew or niece? Their relationship is really good, unlike my nephew and niece who fight every day … Did you also bring them here to play alone? Oh, my God, I envy you for being so pretty and tall … Who are you dressed up as? Are you a model? Why don't we sit together? "
Helena, who was already a little disappointed, was now praised for being tall and slender and treated as a parent. This put her in a bad mood. She glanced at the talkative female Muggle with a ghostly cold gaze. The female Muggle and the two children who were rubbing against each other felt a chill run down their spines, and they shrank back in fear.
"Don't be afraid, ma 'am. I brought them here." Lovgood flicked his hair and looked at the female Muggle in a friendly manner. "One of the two blondes in front is my daughter, and the other is my daughter's husband."
The female Muggle was surprised to realize that the crazy man in front of her was in cahoots with the three people in front of her. She thought that Xenophilius was a freak who came to the amusement park alone, so she said apologetically, "Er … Sorry, sir, I was rude, but they are still in school … That's early. So this lady is your …" The female Muggle observed Helena's age. "This tall lady is your sister, right?"
Xenophilius shook his head and said, "No, no, no, she is my granddaughter. Her mother is the one sitting on the shoulder."
The female Muggle realized that she couldn't react in time, so she stopped talking. Instead, she pulled her nephew and niece into her arms and turned around to leave. Only then did she realize that the line behind her was too long, and she couldn't move at all. So she forced a smile and did not say anything. She turned her head and pretended to enjoy the scenery, completely ignoring the weirdos in front of her.
Xenophilius, who felt that the female Muggle was a little weird, scratched his head and ignored her. They continued to line up.
But to Xenophilius' surprise, when it was Allen's turn after another 20 minutes, Xenophilius was stopped by the staff.
"I am with them," Xenophilius anxiously pulled off his hat and pointed at Allen and the rest in front of him.
"Er … Sorry, sir, the seats are full this time. You can only sit this time," the staff said politely.
"Wait! Sir, among the three of them, my daughter is only going in, but she won't sit. Let me in. " Xenophilius pointed at Luna. The staff looked in the direction of his finger, but he only saw Helena and Allen. He ignored Luna, who had cast a new spell on herself. He turned around and did not say anything. He just firmly closed the railing again.
Allen turned around and noticed the situation. "Er … Do you want me to cast a spell?"
"No, no, you go first." Xenophilius waved his hand when he remembered what his granddaughter said earlier.
"I will wait for you two at the exit." Luna lowered her head and said to Allen and Helena. She then turned around and said, "Dad, do you still want to sit? Why don't you come with me to the exit?"
"Don't worry about me. We have waited for more than 40 minutes just to sit on this damn thing. I have to experience it." Although Xenophilius was a little annoyed that he was left behind, he had waited in line for so long. He did not want to give up. He waited a little gloomily.
Allen put down Luna and let her leave the platform. He then brought Helena to sit side by side on the roller coaster. Without Luna by his side, he remembered his responsibility as a father and bent down to buckle his daughter's seatbelt.
While waiting for the other passengers to sit down, Allen looked up at the shape of the track. After climbing along the tracks to a high point and diving down, the roller coaster would fall into a complicated track maze. In fact, as someone who did not like to experience these things for the sake of excitement, Allen did not have much experience in roller coasters. When he saw the Ferris wheel that was much higher than the roller coaster, he touched his chin and then directly cast a spell to summon a shadow three-eyed raven. He bowed his head and said a few words. The shadow raven spread its wings and flew into the shadow of the small indoor area in front of the roller coaster's entrance. In a flash, it disappeared without a trace.
With the violent shaking of the roller coaster when it started, Allen, who only came to play with his daughter, could not help but feel a sense of anticipation.
The roller coaster slowly started and entered the dark room in front of them. After a few turns in the dark environment, the light from the indoor exit lit up their eyes. Accompanied by the laughter of some clowns and the eruption of steam, the roller coaster began to climb up along the upward track at the indoor exit.
Suddenly shocked by the sound, Allen shrugged and said to his unaffected daughter, "Now I know why this roller coaster is called The Smiler."
Helena nodded. "Father, I read from the introduction that this roller coaster has the highest number of rolls in the Muggle world with a record of 14 rolls." (Author's note: This roller coaster with 14 rolls was actually opened in 2013.)
As the roller coaster climbed, the Alton Tower castle appeared in front of them on the right-hand side. On the left-hand side, there was a beautiful lake with green trees on the shore.
"Helena, that's where Daisy and the others went to … Uh …" Before Allen could finish his words, the tourists in front of them screamed. The front of the roller coaster had passed the peak and was rushing down like a meteor.
Stimulated by the sudden pulling force, the passengers on the roller coaster screamed hysterically because they were about to hit the ground in front of them. However, at this moment, the front of the roller coaster suddenly lifted, and the roller coaster quickly went up again. The continuous rolling made the excitement of the people on the roller coaster turn into horror and screams.
Helena, who stayed in the Hogwarts Ravenclaw Tower for many years and flew for many years, looked calm. She was not afraid of heights. She turned her head and looked at the men and women on the Muggle around her. There seemed to be someone who choked on his own saliva and coughed desperately.
After passing through a large circular track, the high-speed roller coaster began to slow down like a snail. It completely stopped in front of the almost vertical track in the middle. Some slightly strange amusement park style BGM came to their ears, beginning to create an atmosphere for the passengers.
As the best roller coaster in Quidditch, Allen was not afraid like Helena. He wanted to talk to his daughter for a while, but he heard some children crying. Allen looked to the side and saw a little girl with a ponytail sitting in the back seat with her hair hanging down. Her father seemed to be comforting her and himself. He was trembling and mumbling lines like "We'll be fine" and "God bless us."
Allen turned his head and smiled at Helena who also turned her head. "Helena, this is much slower than the speed of the crossbow. The crossbow can accelerate up to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds, and the braking mechanism is so charming …"
But at this time, Helena's crazy screams suddenly sounded in Allen's ears. The frequency of the screams was almost the same as the little girl's.
"Ugh …" Allen turned his head and saw Helena turning her head back and continuing to scream. Her eyes were fixed on the Muggle girl behind her from time to time. Helena clumsily imitated the Muggle child's movements. Her expression became very awkward as she copied the child's fearful movements and expression. Her hands held the armrest in the same position. Finally, she stiffly tilted her head towards the guardrail on Allen's side and leaned against the guardrail.
Helena's clumsy act of seeking comfort amused Allen. His heart softened. Like the child's father, he cooperated by covering his daughter's hand with his own hand and comforted her loudly in an exaggerated manner.
On the other side of the platform, Xenophilius was still waiting in the long line. He had been paying attention to the situation on the roller coaster. Through the magic wand that had turned into a telescope, he noticed the intimate actions between his granddaughter and Allen. He was so envious that he unconsciously plucked a few of the tassels from his hat.
Finally, after completing more rolls, the roller coaster began to slow down. With a click, it suddenly stopped. Due to inertia, everyone on the roller coaster leaned forward. The roller coaster finally reached the end and returned to the indoor area.
After a while, after Allen and the rest left, the staff came over to open the railing. Xenophilius snorted in dissatisfaction, shook his head, and followed the crowd into the roller coaster.
However, when he entered, he realized that almost all the passengers were accompanied by someone. After a little hesitation, he saw that most of the passengers were seated. He looked at the female Muggle who had just spoken to him with uncertainty. She had just settled her nephew and niece down, so when she noticed his gaze, she quickly avoided Xenophilius's gaze and went to a seat that was already occupied.
Xenophilius, who had no idea why he was so unpopular, opened his mouth into a round, ridiculous O shape. He kept patting the air around him. "If Pandora was here, she would definitely accompany me. There are so many harassers here …"
At this time, the last few people in the line also came in. A middle-aged man who was dressed a little too well and did not match the atmosphere of the amusement park rushed over from behind Xenophilius. He looked around as if he was chasing someone.
However, when he realized that the group of tourists in front of him had all left, the middle-aged Muggle bent over and put her hands on her knees. She muttered to herself angrily, "Scumbag … Riding the roller coaster so intimately with another woman … And she's so much older than me …"
