Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 442 What to study?
On the first weekend of this school year, students came to the cafeteria chatting and laughing, preparing to have lunch.

"Where's Charles?" Hermione looked around and found that there was one person missing from the long table.

The only times she saw Charles during the week were during classes and meals.

Seamus was helping himself to a fried egg when he heard this: "Charles went to St. Mungo's last night. I heard that the first batch of werewolf antidote arrived. He took the medicine for the first time today."

It was only then that Hermione remembered that Charles held some title as Director of the Office of Werewolf Support Services at the Ministry of Magic.

Charles just went through the motions at St. Mungo's Hospital, took a photo with Fudge shaking hands and talking cordially with a werewolf, and said a few polite words to the reporters. The rest was done by his subordinates and professionals.

Time passed uneventfully and it was the second weekend.

Not much happened this week, except that Professor McGonagall had another argument with Moody because Moody had let the students experience the Imperius Curse.

Harry was the only Gryffindor fourth-year who was barely out of control. Moody's wand poked Charles on the head, but the guy didn't react at all.

This puzzled Moody.

"Charles is missing again."

Hermione still hadn't spotted Charles during the second weekend.

"Charles has gone to the Forbidden Forest to deliver something to the centaurs," Seamus said as he spread jam on his bread.

Hermione remembered that he was also the head of the Centaur Liaison Office.

"Ah, Charles!"

Twilight was checking the pumpkin patch for any pumpkins that had been eaten by animals, and when she saw Charles she ran over.

"Hey, you've grown taller again!"

Now Twilight has grown into a big girl and can easily lift Charles up.

There were a few centaur girls in the pumpkin patch, and they all came over to greet Charles.

Rainbow smiled and said to Twilight, "Charles is here, so we can settle that matter."

Twilight blushed and ran away immediately.

Charles asked Rainbow, "What's the matter?"

Rainbow laughed and said, "Twilight needs her family's approval for something, so she's waiting for you to come."

In the eyes of the centaurs, Charles is Twilight's brother who is missing two legs and a tail, so Twilight's family affairs are naturally his business.

Charles asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Rainbow said mysteriously: "You should ask yourself."

Charles scratched his head and came to the centaur tribe and went to find the chief elder first.

Ruby arrived earlier and stood on a tree stump. A group of children fed him the fruits they had just picked.

Charles handed the supplies he brought this time to the Great Elder.

The Great Elder asked Charles, "Do you know about Twilight?"

Charles shook his head and replied, "Twilight ran away without telling me, and Rainbow didn't tell me either."

The elder smiled and said, "Haha, it's nothing, it's just that a young man has a crush on Twilight."

"Although it is a matter between the children, it still depends on the family's approval in the end."

"When the tribe holds the ceremony at the next spring equinox, we will need your consent."

When Charles heard about this, he immediately smiled and said, "This is a good thing. I will definitely attend the ceremony."

Twilight is old enough, Rainbow didn't say anything bad about him, and the Great Elder didn't hint at it, which means that the young man is reliable, which makes Charles feel relieved.

Then the Great Elder and Charles talked about some traditions, such as that family members could ask each other all kinds of questions and could also fight.

There was a regular banquet tonight, and before Charles could ask anything, Rainbow and several other young centaurs pushed a young man in front of him.

This young man has strong and sturdy arms, well-developed pectoral muscles, eight distinct abdominal muscles, and shiny hair on his back.

He looked shy and nervous, hesitating for a while, handed Charles a can of beer he had just brought today, and then ran away. Rainbow and the others laughed at once.

Charles had seen this young man before and had some impression of him.

He asked Ronan and others next to him, and they all said that he was honest and hardworking.

After the party, Charles returned to Twilight's house and found that she had gone to bed early, just like the children on the day of the parent-teacher conference.

Charles finally showed up in the cafeteria at breakfast the next day.

Harry noticed that Charles was laughing from time to time, so he asked him, "What happy things happened to you?"

Charles said with a smile: "I didn't expect she has a boyfriend."

Harry immediately turned to look at Hermione who was sitting on the other side, while the others were only half a step slower.

Everyone thought that the only girl who could make Charles smile like an old father was Hermione.

Lavender and Parvati were the most active, their eyes blazing with gossip.

Hermione was picking up a piece of cake and stopped when she saw everyone was looking at her.

"Why are you all looking at me?" She looked left and right, "You're not talking about me."

No one believes it.

At this time, an owl came and landed in front of Charles. He took the letter and left.

Charles was gone all day and didn't return to the dormitory until the evening.

Seamus asked him curiously, "Where have you been?"

Charles threw himself on the bed and said, "It's a matter between the company and the Ministry of Magic."

Seamus asked, "Is it a big business?!"

"Yeah." Charles sighed, "A secret mission."

"Oh, I don't even know how to tell Snape."

Seamus was originally curious about what the secret mission was, but when he heard that it was related to Snape, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "It's actually related to Professor Snape, you don't do potion business?"

"What are you going to study?"

Charles replied, "Snape."

Seamus said, "I know you want to ask Professor Snape for help. I'm asking what you want to study?"

Charles still answered: "Snape."

Seamus came to his senses now and asked incredulously, "You mean, you want to study Professor Snape?"

Charles replied, “Yes.”

Seamus was silent for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Will it hurt him?"

"I don't know," Charles replied. "The worst-case scenario is that he could be seriously injured."

"Is that so?" Seamus asked again, "Is there any risk of recovery?"

Charles replied: "No one has ever treated this kind of injury."

Charles frowned, not knowing how to tell Snape that his company and the Ministry of Magic wanted to study him.

After thinking about it, he also wanted to know who came up with the genius idea of ​​studying how to crack the Dark Mark on the hands of Death Eaters in order to locate other Death Eaters.

The Ministry of Magic took this matter very seriously, so they found Phoenix Logistics, which was good at breaking spells, and also sent the Unspeakable from the Department of Mysteries to cooperate.

Not only Charles felt incredible, even the former Silent Man and former Death Eater in the company was puzzled.

To study the Dark Mark, you first need research materials. The Ministry of Magic took out the list of Death Eaters. Except for those who escaped and were not found and those who were newly imprisoned in Azkaban, only this one from Hogwarts was left.

The next morning, the Hogwarts students saw Snape chasing Charles and hacking him.
