244 Meeting 2 (We pigeons are but magpie festivals)

In British wizarding world, the rights are divided into two parts, one in the Ministry of Magic and one in Hogwarts.

Therefore, with Professor McGonagall as the Vice Chancellor on the team, there will never be any such pretending to be a slap in the face - whether it is the non-caring mascot Dundedo or the vice-principal McGonagall in charge, they are all face-brushing existences in the entire wizarding world.

Thus, when Professor McGonagall diverted the subject with little disguise, Mr. Foley was quite cooperative and forcibly changed the subject.

"Oh, Dumbledore's orders, no wonder—" He looked at Alan with undisguised admiration in his eyes, and said, "It seems that Hogwarts will have another professor who will graduate and stay at the school." ”

"Gold!"

Walsh Foley shouted to the rear, and as his words fell, a popping sound rang out.

The house-elf from before shifted almost instantly, bowed respectfully and asked, "I'm here, master, do you have any orders?"

"Go to my room and bring the bag from the third drawer. ”

Soon, a small bag was delivered and placed next to Walsh.

"For wizards, magical experiments are never done," he said, handing the bag to Allen, "Many of my old friends and I believe that alchemy is the foundation of wizarding, and that school education is too much about spells. ”

It's light to say... Who doesn't know that there is alchemy in Hogwarts electives, but the materials are at their own expense - that cost is affordable for the average wizard?

Alan took the bag while sneering, thanked him and hung it directly around his waist.

Walsh Welfare was momentarily stunned.

???

It's not this routine - shouldn't you open it after taking the gift, and then express your gratitude with joy, and then we can talk about things happily?

You don't even have a movement to weigh in?

Could it be that this kid is really a relative of Dumbledore or an illegitimate child or something, and he doesn't care if he sees too many magic items... Walsh was an old fritter anyway, so he simply continued the conversation with Alan's simple thanks.

"It's nothing, a little investment in young people is something every old guy loves," he smiled and nodded to Allen, before turning to Professor McGonagall.

"I'm well aware of what's been going on lately, Professor McGonagall," his expression was unusually sincere, "Minister Fudge is trying to take over Hogwarts, he's putting pressure on Hogwarts in every way, it's against the law, but—"

Walsh Foley elongated, his voice low.

Push and procrastinate, first understand the other party's situation from various aspects, and then make excuses after gaining empathy, and push things and pots out, anyway, it's the Ministry of Magic that wants to do it, and Dumbledore is a decent person, can he still beg to trouble him in vain?

"Alas, it's not that I don't plan to help Hogwarts get through the difficulties, there are two commissioners stationed in my newspaper every day, and each edition of the newspaper must be approved by the Ministry of Magic before it is sent, and I can't help at all in terms of public opinion, financially, if you want to support Hogwarts, you must inject funds through the school council, but now the school board is controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and I am powerless. ”

"But Professor McGonagall you're here—" Mr. Foley's brow furrowed, as if making a difficult decision, and after half a sound, he called out to his house-elf.

"Gold, bring out that box in the corner of my room!"

A chest full of gold coins appeared in the living room two minutes later, and Mr. Walsh touched the box, a look of reluctance and determination on his face, and the latter prevailed over the former.

Five thousand Galleons may seem like a lot, but when used in schools, they are at the level of firefighting.

Alan admired the other party's acting skills while estimating the number of gold coins in the box with the naked eye.

At the same time, he kept looking at Professor McGonagall.

Professor, what are you thinking?

It's nice to finish the other party's acting - but after Dumbledore wants to run for the Ministry of Magic and ask for political donations, how do you let people pay for you?
