Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 435 Find a good reason
The rain kept falling and the students were soaking wet as they entered the castle.

After entering the castle, many students cast spells on themselves and others to remove the rain from their bodies.

However, Peeves got a lot of balloons from somewhere, filled them with water, and threw them at anyone who tried to dry themselves off.

Ruby suddenly appeared behind Peeves and flapped her wings hard, sending him flying far away and hitting his head on the stairs.

The ghost was angry but dared not say anything, so he ran away.

"Ruby looks pissed," Seamus said.

In the past, Ruby and Charles had only fought and played for fun, and never with such great strength.

Dean said, "Did Peeves mess with Ruby?"

No one knows what happened.

Neville looked around and asked, "Where's Charles? I don't think I've seen him."

"What do you want from me?" Charles' voice suddenly came from beside him.

Neville and the others were shocked, they didn't expect that they didn't notice Charles was right next to them, but they didn't notice it at all.

Seamus asked him, "You weren't on the train today?"

"No," Charles said calmly. "I got up late."

Seamus said in surprise: "You actually overslept?!"

As far as he could remember, Charles had never overslept.

Charles just smiled and said nothing.

Neville felt that there was something wrong with Charles, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Seamus didn't mind the rain on his robe, he put his arm around Charles' shoulders and asked, "Hey, we encountered something very interesting today, do you want to know?"

Charles shook his head and said, "No."

Simo said mysteriously again: "This matter has something to do with you."

Charles shook his head again.

The students soon entered the cafeteria, and this time it was Fred and George's turn to pull Charles to the corner of the long dining table.

They began reporting their earnings for the summer and applying for further investment.

Charles listened carefully and gave instructions at last: "Continue researching new products when school starts. I have contacted professors at Kodosdorez for you. You can write to them to discuss any issues you have."

"When you have time, you can go to Farbottom Castle. There are talented wizards from all over the world there. You can benefit a lot from discussing with them."

Fred's eyes lit up and he asked, "So we are your employees from now on?"

George also asked, "The head of the new department?"

They heard from Percy's girlfriend Penelope that the salary at Phoenix Logistics was much higher than that at the Ministry of Magic.

Charles shook his head and said, "No, it's a partnership between the two of us."

He doesn't want to spread his business too wide. The gaming industry is not an emerging field and more innovation is needed to develop it.

Fred and George do this very well themselves. If they are brought into the company system and given too many rules and regulations, it would be harmful.

Charles explained these things to them in detail, and they both thought they made sense.

"That's true," said Fred.

George said: "If you work like the Ministry, you really can't make anything good."

Charles remembered something and whispered, "Don't make those new games I told you about before, and don't mention them to anyone else."

Fred asked, "Why?"

Charles said, "You will know it soon. This is what Professor Dumbledore meant. He asked me to tell you."

The two brothers looked at each other, feeling very depressed. It seemed that the whole world knew what was going to happen next, except them.

At this time, Professor McGonagall brought this year's freshmen into the cafeteria and the sorting ceremony began.

As Fred watched the Sorting Ceremony, he asked Charles, "Where were you and the Veela on the night of the Quidditch match?"

"You know what happened that day, we have been looking for you for a long time."

Charles looked at the ceiling and said, "It's a little deeper in the woods."

George suddenly asked, "You didn't play with the Veela until this morning and missed the train?"

"Haha..." Charles laughed twice, "Is it possible?"

George said seriously, "I think it's possible."

Fred also said, "Yeah."

Charles ignored the two of them and looked at the empty seat in the professor's chair.

At this moment, the Sorting Hat suddenly shouted: "Slytherin!"

"What?!"×2
Fred and George stopped teasing Charles and stared in amazement as their cousin Mafalda Prewett lowered the Sorting Hat and walked towards the Slytherin House table.

"How is this possible?" Fred murmured. "How is this possible?"

George also murmured, "The Prewetts have always been Gryffindors."

Charles said, "The Black family also has a Gryffindor."

The two brothers couldn't refute it.

Charles smiled and said, "I'm surprised that you brothers are all Gryffindors."

Fred said, "Ron will be sad if you say that."

George said: "He may be a bit dull, but we never doubted he would be sorted into Hufflepuff."

Charles said, "Don't look down on Hufflepuffs."

The sorting ceremony ended quickly and the dinner began.

Charles took the steak in front of him, cut it into small pieces and put it on a plate, then put it on the ground behind him for Ruby to eat.

Then he took a few roast lamb ribs and started eating.

Charles usually eats a lot, but tonight he seemed to eat even more than usual. Soon there were a lot of lamb ribs piled in front of him.

Fred told him about Daphne looking for him on the train today.

Charles took a sip of pumpkin juice and said, "Never mind her. I don't have time to do this right now. My studies are my priority."

George put a few mutton dumplings on his plate and said as he ate, "I don't think Greengrass will give up easily."

Charles took the roasted leg of lamb and said, "I'll reject her later."

Fred said seriously, "You'd better come up with a plausible and impeccable reason. Some families are stubborn and self-righteous. They think their demands are impossible to be rejected, but the price is not high enough."

George continued, "Yes, given your conditions, maybe both Miss Greengrasses can be played as cards together."

Charles curled his lips and ate the lamb leg quietly.

There was a sudden noise from the long table, and the cup in Hermione's hand fell on the table, and pumpkin juice flowed all over the table.

Then came Hermione's horrified voice: "There are house-elves here too? In Hogwarts?"

George heard this and said to Charles, "Hermione seems to have a different opinion about house-elves."

Fred also said, "Yes, she saw Winky, the house-elf of the Crouch family, on the day of the match, and we had no peace of mind for the next few days."

Charles just continued to eat his dinner in silence, not wanting to bother with the matter.
