Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 375 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land

"What the hell!"

It was only when Charles arrived at the cafeteria of Kodos Dorez that he realized that Ruby had her own special chair here.

"No wonder you're always so fat." Charles flicked Ruby's head, "Be careful or you won't be able to fly anymore and will have to walk on the ground like a penguin."

He was then suppressed by several girls and could only watch as they fed Ruby, a treatment he had never received at Hogwarts.

Charles was waiting for the fat ball to say "I'm having fun here and don't miss Hogwarts."

Ruby didn't say anything, but the school leader of Kodosdoriz gave a long welcome speech. Ruby stopped eating only when she was three-quarters full.

At the welcome dinner, the guests dispersed, and Kitov snatched Charles from Valentina and introduced him to several classmates who were interested in joining the company.

During this period of time, Charles studied hard in the restricted book section for a long time, and gained a deeper understanding of the system he wanted to develop. His knowledge reserves were sufficient to deal with more problems.

After finishing a bowl of beetroot soup, everyone started talking about salary and benefits.

After talking about work, Kitov asked Charles, "Which class do you want to audit tomorrow?"

This time, Kodosdoriz did not hold a material-brushing activity like the one in Ugadu, but the specific format of the competition was not announced. The principals and professors needed a week to set up the competition venue, during which time guests could sit in.

Charles thought for a moment and asked, "I heard you have a special class on making magic items?"

Kitov replied, "Yes, if you are interested, you can go to class with me tomorrow."

He pointed to the principal's professor's seat and said, "See Professor Chepkin in the third seat in the second row? He will have a class tomorrow."

Charles looked over and asked in surprise: "Professor Chepkin is a goblin?"

"Yes," Kitov said matter-of-factly, "Professor Chepkin is a skilled goblin."

Charles hesitated and whispered, "I heard that some of the goblins' ideas are a bit out of place."

What he said was that goblins' concept of ownership of items they make is different from that of humans. Goblins believe that the ownership of items made by goblins belongs to the goblins, but are only rented to humans for use, and must be returned to the goblins after the lessee's death.

Kitov nodded and said, "That was indeed the case in the past. The background behind it was very complicated, and it was related to the complicated relationship between goblins and wizards at that time."

"We went through a reform here more than fifty years ago, and the goblins all accepted the views of wizards."

Charles thought about it. More than fifty years ago was the Second World War. Unlike Britain, which was only bombed by Meyer, the wizarding society in the countries involved in the main battlefield was more or less affected by the war and underwent different changes.

For example, in Germany, vampires were originally unwelcome in Europe, but this changed after the war, and Erica's parents got a job as Aurors in the German Ministry of Magic.

Charles asked doubtfully, "I think it's not so easy for the fairies to change their minds. Some of them will definitely not be happy about it."

"Yes." Kitov nodded, "So Comrade Dzhugashvili asked them to go to Siberia to grow potatoes."

Charles' mind suddenly became clear. He had never figured out why the old man appeared here, but now he understood.

The old man and his men want to take down Gringotts which is controlled by the goblins. The old man has experience in single combat, but we have more experience in large-scale confrontation, so we come here to learn.

But the biggest problem is that we have Siberia to grow potatoes, and Britain no longer exiles prisoners to Australia.

Charles had just thought of Australia, and soon he was surprised to find that his Australian friends were here.

After the dinner, when the guests returned to the castle, they found many shelves in the foyer, filled with all kinds of plastic birds.

These plastic birds, such as parrots, pigeons, and birds of paradise, are all imported from Yiwu, but they come to life after being cast into a spell. When placed on the shoulders, they can help with simultaneous interpretation.

The hallway was bustling with activity as four young girls led the guests to choose their favorite translation birds.

After everyone had left, Charles went over to greet them with a smile: "Emily, Elizabeth, Theresa, Kelly, long time no see!"

"Ah, Charles, you're here too?!" Emily was very happy when she saw Charles.

The four Australian girls met in the UK last summer when they delivered a motorcycle to Charles, and then started a motorcycle trip across Eurasia back to Australia. They didn't expect to meet again here. They also live here. After packing up, they came to Charles' room with drinks and snacks, sitting around the bed and chatting while eating snacks.

They came here last winter. Because of the heavy snow and wind, they stayed in a nearby town. In order to earn money for the trip, they continued to sell the translation bird invented by Elizabeth.

Emily put her arm around Elizabeth's shoulders and said to Charles, "Elizabeth is valued by the professors here and they invited her to work here."

Charles smiled and said, "That's great. I'm going to call you professor from now on."

Elizabeth blushed slightly and said, "Professor, that's not possible. Professor Chepkin only wants me to be an assistant researcher to assist him in a certain area of ​​research."

"But I plan to complete this trip first and come back in the summer. Professor Chepkin and Professor Nikita agreed."

She is a tech geek, and her magic skills are indeed not at the professor level, but the field of translation she is researching is rarely touched upon.

At this time, Teresa asked, "Charles, Phoenix Logistics is your company, right?"

Charles replied, "Yes, it was opened not long ago."

Theresa said to Elizabeth with a sly smile, “Why don’t you thank Charles quickly.

"When Professor Chepkin and I were drinking, he told me that a student named Smith from Hogwarts started a company and encountered difficulties with language translation."

"The professor thinks this is a new research direction, and you happen to have research in this area, so he decided to hire you to help."

"Really?" Emily said, "Then you have to kiss Charles."

Teresa also said seriously: "Why don't we leave first."

Elizabeth held Emily and Theresa in each hand and tickled them.

Charles watched the three of them quarreling with a smile, thinking about the key information that Theresa had just mentioned.

It seems that Kodosdoriz attaches great importance to the research of his company. I wonder if we can have further cooperation.

Kelly, the smallest girl sitting next to Charles, seemed to be in a bad mood. She drank a little too much and her face was red. She said to Charles in a depressed tone, "I didn't expect a jellyfish like you to start a company."

Charles asked her in a low voice: "Are you in a bad mood? What's wrong?"

Kelly muttered, "Nothing. Nothing to do with jellyfish."

Charles smiled and patted her shoulder and said, "We are all friends. You can tell me if you have anything."

Kelly said, "Forget it. The little jellyfish can't help anyway."

Although she is much shorter than Charles, she is four or five years older, so it is not surprising that she says Charles is younger.

But in terms of volume, especially the volume of a certain Animagus form, the size is reversed.

"Because of work?" Charles asked her in a low voice.

Among the four girls, Emily has a ranch at home so she has no worries. Theresa has agreed with the Auror Department of the Australian Ministry of Magic that she will attend the Auror training class after the long journey. Now Elizabeth is going to work in Kodos Dorez, so Kelly is the only one left who is unemployed.

The wizarding community was still small and there were not enough jobs, so Kelly became unemployed after graduation.

Kelly was obviously touched by what she said. She took a sip of wine and pouted, saying, "It has nothing to do with you anyway."

Charles guessed that she might have some ideas, but she couldn't say them out loud because of her temper, so he said, "Just come to me when you need help in the future."

Elizabeth's playfulness ended, and they talked about what they had seen and heard along the way, and they chatted until very late.

Everyone was a little sleepy, so Emily put her arm around Charles' shoulders and said, "Hurry up and turn into a jellyfish so that you can be our mattress."
