Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 366: Peaceful Days

While the Weasleys were figuring out how to make Ron do a somersault, the door to the Slytherin common room opened, and two men sneaked out, came to the room where the elves delivered packages, and took out a large package.

There were only two students here, and one of them asked the other: "Are you sure this plan will work?"

The person being asked said confidently: "Of course you can. Potter is a coward. He will be so scared that he will fall off his broomstick when he sees the Dementors."

The man who asked the question then asked, "But the Dementors have left."

"No problem." The person who answered still believed that his plan would succeed. "He didn't have time to think so much at that time."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the cabinet, Dobby's eyes grew sharp.

Charles and Seamus returned to the bedroom to see Dobby pacing anxiously.

When Seamus heard that Malfoy was going to pretend to be a Dementor to scare Harry during the Quidditch game, he said angrily: "He is so abominable. We must... um... not tell Professor McGonagall."

Not reporting to the professor means solving the problem privately. As for the solution, of course, it is to beat the person up.

Charles reminded Seamus: "Call more people and don't tell Harry yet."

No one knows why Malfoy wanted to scare Harry with this matter after the Dementors left. Charles has been too lazy to pay attention to him recently. The only explanation is that hatred makes his reason disappear.

The next day, Hogwarts' first Quidditch match in 1994 ended in cheers, with the careless Gryffindor team defeating Ravenclaw by 10 points.

Gryffindor thought the game would be over soon because of the addition of the Firebolt, and the players other than the Seekers were a little careless. When Arya Spinnet threw Gryffindor's first Quaffle into the opponent's goal, they were already eighty points ahead of Ravenclaw.

In the middle of the game, the Firebolt Attachment discovered an object that looked like a Dementor at the top of the stands, but...

"Hey, there are two lone Dementors here." Ron cast a spell.

Neville said seriously: "They look like they are shivering. It's not that cold today."

Hermione, Dean, Lavender, Parvati and others formed a circle at the back.

The reason Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle and Slytherin captain Marcus Flint were trembling was that Seamus didn't intend to say anything, but just waved his wand.

Professor McGonagall felt something was wrong when she saw that the third-year students were missing from the Gryffindor stands. She realized something was wrong when she saw two objects that looked like Dementors appear on the opposite stands and rushed over immediately.

Young wizards aged thirteen or fourteen have mastered many spells that are powerful enough to kill people, and they don't know how to control the severity of their spells, so accidents can easily happen.

But Professor McGonagall was still a step too late, and could only watch as the four Slytherin students were blown out of the court by countless fists that flew out from the tip of Seamus' wand, and exploded when they hit the target.

Fortunately, the snow hasn't melted yet, so he didn't fall to death.

The battle in the stands ended with Gryffindor winning, but things were looking increasingly bleak for Gryffindor on the pitch.

Ravenclaw Seeker Cho Chang, whose broomstick was inferior to the Firebolt, managed to prevent the Firebolt's appendage from catching the Snitch for most of the match.

The appendage riding on the Firebolt was slow to catch the Golden Snitch, and the Gryffindor players became very impatient, making more mistakes. The score gap widened further after narrowing to fifty points.

In the last minute of the game, the Quaffle thrown by the Ravenclaw team had already passed Gryffindor's keeper Wood. If the Firebolt appendage had caught the Golden Snitch a second later, the game would have been a draw.

More than half an hour after the game ended, the Gryffindor players were still feeling scared.

As usual, Charles did not go to watch the game, but was busy in the greenhouse and chatting with Dumbledore.

Taking advantage of today's opportunity, Charles and Dumbledore talked about the possibility of establishing a magical research institution that is higher than the teaching level of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and discussed whether this institution would only serve wizards in the UK and Ireland or wizards all over the world.

Charles did not expect that such a big thing could convince Dumbledore all at once. Apart from anything else, the Ministry of Magic would definitely intervene. Dumbledore felt that this matter was feasible to a certain extent, but it was very difficult, mainly because it required a wizard who could suppress others to be the leader, otherwise it would be easy to have a second Voldemort.

Charles heard his subtext and thought what he said made sense.

There are not many top wizards in the UK who can keep the situation under control now. Dumbledore is 113 years old this year, and the old man is almost 130 years old. There is no high-level wizard in the age group of 80 to 90 who can keep the situation under control. It can be said that there is no successor behind Dumbledore who can convince the public.

This audience is not just within Hogwarts or the UK, but internationally.

Perhaps for this reason, Dumbledore became interested in such a magical research institution.

When Professor McGonagall arrived at the greenhouse, she found that the two guys, one old and one young, were looking at her strangely.

Professor McGonagall brought Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle and Flint to the headmaster. These people had bruised faces and noses and looked like they had been beaten up.

Dumbledore was very angry at the behavior of the four of them. In addition to deducting house points, he also punished them to clean all the bathrooms in the castle.

After dealing with Malfoy and the others, Professor McGonagall said to Charles seriously, "The spell that Seamus used just now that can release many fists is very good, but it is also very dangerous. I hope you don't teach it to others easily."

Charles said innocently, "That spell is a Japanese spell given to Seamus by his friend at the magic house. I still need to learn it from him using Napoleon Mille-feuille."

There was one thing he didn't say. When he used this spell, he would just throw out his fist normally to cause physical damage. But when Simo used it, his fist would explode when it hit the target. Even the Akagi sisters couldn't understand why this happened.

Dumbledore called Professor McGonagall away to discuss something.

After the Quidditch game, students who came to work in the greenhouse rushed in and started today's measurements and watering and fertilizing.

Penelope found Charles, patted his shoulder and asked with a suppressed smile: "I heard that it was you who gave Percy the idea to invite me to his house to watch his brother do somersaults?"

Charles said in surprise: "What, Percy really told you that?!"

He didn't expect that he just wanted to give Percy an example, but this guy actually copied it completely.

Penelope grinned and said, "I told that idiot that I would go if it was Fred, George and Ron doing somersaults together."

"Hiss..." Charles pinched his chin and thought, "If that's the case, remember to call me."

If it was just Ron doing somersaults alone, it would be fine, but it would be different if Fred and George were included. You have to go and watch.

Penelope put away the smile on her face and asked Charles: "Does your company need to recruit new employees?"

She is going to graduate this year, and like other graduates, now is the time to look for a job.

After the Christmas holidays, several people have asked Charles if they can work at Farbatten Castle. So far, the only person who has been admitted without examination is Till, the president of the Oil Painting Society.

Charles replied: "If it's a job in the technical department, you need to go for an interview with the head of the department in July."

He thought of Penelope who had been a grade leader for so many years and was now the head of the female student union, so she had some experience in management, so he said, "We are currently in need of an administrative director. If you are willing, you can hire her right away. Then you will be the one interviewing the job applicants for the administrative department."

The company is now almost a makeshift team, so it would be fine to find someone familiar to be responsible for the administrative work.

Penelope immediately replied: "Administrative Director? I think I can do it."

Charles nodded and said, "Well, tomorrow is Hogsmeade Week, I'll take you there to talk to everyone."
