The boring meeting lasted from seven o'clock in the evening to almost ten o'clock, and Phyllis declined the invitation to have dinner with her, and went straight to her room on the third floor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"It's finally coming out." Phyllis went back to her room, slammed herself on the couch, closed her eyes and sighed, she hadn't found herself so resistant to such a boring time-wasting activity, those three hours were a nightmare.

Seeing that her little master had returned, Amy brought over a glass of warm milk and a piece of cake, and said, "Master, eat something, what do you want for dinner?" "Amy has already found out where the kitchen is, and she'll be going to cook tonight's dinner after the host has set the menu.

Phyllis didn't open her eyes, lay down on the sofa and said, "Put it on the table, you don't have to cook dinner, just give me a warm glass of milk." She didn't take off her shoes, she just lay down on the sofa, took a pillow and put it behind her head, closed her eyes and rested.

In a daze, Phyllis fell asleep, she was awakened by a knock at the door, and she looked at the watch on her right wrist, which was already half past eleven. Phyllis rubbed her eyes and found that she was covered with a blanket, and Amy sat next to her, arranging her little dress and white socks.

Phyllis sat up and said with some wistfulness, "Amy, go open the door." ”

Amy obediently agreed, put away her clothes, and went to open the door.

What Phyllis didn't expect was that it was Carl Price who was visiting, and Phyllis straightened out her somewhat wrinkled magic robe and said, "Mr. Price, is there something wrong?" ”

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, but it's your first time at this kind of party, and I think I can share some of my experiences so that you can have a good time here," Carl said. ”

Happy to play? Faced with how happy it was to have such a group of old people who were dozens of years older than herself, Phyllis said with some interest: "Okay, thank you, Amy, go pour a glass...... What do you want to drink? ”

"Coffee is fine," Carl said. ”

Phyllis said, "Drinking coffee at night is not good for your health. Having said that, she told Amy to prepare a cup of coffee.

After the two sat down, Karl said straight to the point: "Do you think that meeting is a bit boring?" ”

Phyllis said, "It's a little, probably because I'm too young to be serious enough. ”

Karl smiled and said, "But those heavyweights are too much. After a joke, Carl continued: "But this meeting is not important, it is not as serious as you think, it is just a few old friends getting together to talk, the next few days are the focus, you can have a private chat with some people, exchange opinions, of course, it can also be used as a leisure vacation, have a good time." ”

Phyllis thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything to talk about with them, and I guess we don't have anything in common. ”

"Don't jump to conclusions, after all, it's all Ravenclaw, and there's always something in common," Carr said. Carl's sentence means something, on the surface, it means that they are all from Ravenclaw College, and there are always some similarities in interests and hobbies, but if you think about it deeper, he actually said that they all belong to the Ravenclaw group, and they can always find places with the same interests.

Phyllis nodded slightly, did not agree, did not deny, but asked another question: "Can you introduce me to Mr. Nat Goldstein, who is sitting in the chief this time?" "The head of such a large family does not appear in magazines and newspapers, and considering that the English wizarding world is still an ancient way of life, the flow of information here is not smooth, and there are only a handful of newspapers and magazines, and very little information about them is known about Phyllis.

Speaking of Nat Goldstein, Karl said apologetically: "By the way, he spoke a little too directly in the previous meeting, please don't worry, he has no malicious intentions, you know, he has been in charge of the Goldstein family for more than 40 years, two generations higher than me, and he doesn't need to think too much about us juniors when he speaks." ”

Phyllis smiled and said, "Mr. Price, I know the old man's thoughts, please believe me, I am not such a small-bellied person, I will not be affected by the words of the elders and seek death." ”

Karl smiled and said: "It's best if you think so, Mr. Goldstein was very straightforward when he was young, he is a person with great strength in his heart, I heard that even now, he is seventy-two years old, he has to work more than six hours a day, which is not easy for an old man of this age, he broke his heart for the Goldstein family, and poured his life's work into it." Speaking of this, Karl paused and said with a serious face: "However, fifteen years ago, Voldemort killed his two children, two children whom he had high hopes for, so that the Goldstein family now has no suitable heir, and can only rely on this old man to run this powerful and ancient family, I think you know very well what this means." ”

Phyllis said solemnly: "Of course I know that my parents also walked in that catastrophe, and I clearly know how much damage Voldemort caused to this British wizarding world. ”

Karl breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't mean anything else, but I hope you can understand the sadness in the old man's heart, and also understand some of his impolite words before. ”

Phyllis shook her head helplessly and said, "Mr. Price, I really don't know what to say, I really didn't take that matter to heart, please give me a trust, okay?" ”

"Of course, I trust you, Miss Kate." Karl waved his hand again and again, and said, "I'm sorry I said so many inappropriate things, but I just remembered Mr. Goldstein's teaching and care for me, he was a warm-hearted and good man, and many Ravenclaws were grateful for his love and support for the juniors. ”

"I can tell that this is for the sake of respectable old men." "Will this affect our plans?" ”

Carl was stunned for a moment, although there was no clear proposal between them, but there was still that tacit understanding, hoping to lead Ravenclaw to win the final victory of this war, this is a war, too much consideration in the war will cost more, the students of Ravenclaw College are smart and smart, but most of them are sentimental, so Carl, are you also such a person?

Carl looked at Phyllis stunned, and after a long time, he said, "It won't affect you, Mr. Goldstein doesn't have any conflict with our goals." ”

Phyllis leaned back on the sofa and said, "It is true that we are all moving in one direction, even on the same path, but there are always some trade-offs between the left foot and the right foot first, and will Mr. Price be able to make a clear judgment then?" You know, we are not in a good situation in Ravenclaw. ”

The situation in Ravenclaw is indeed not good, Gryffindor has the greatest wizard of our time to support it, and Slytherin also has a powerful and evil demon king, but what does Ravenclaw have, there are people in important positions in the Ministry of Magic, such as Carl Price, there are several powerful families, such as these people who are here today, there is a fairly loud sign, such as the eternal Phyllis Kate who cannot be killed, a genius wizard comparable to Voldemort...... It may seem like they all have them, but they don't have the momentum, they don't have the momentum to rise to Ravenclaw, so so many family leaders can only talk nonsense for hours when they start a meeting about the fate of Ravenclaw.

In order to reverse this situation, some means are needed, and Phyllis does not dare to guarantee that her methods are absolutely clean, and she does not know if Carl can avoid this boring psychological cleanliness.

Karl looked out the window, the weather was not very good today, thick clouds obscured the stars and moonlight, this was the Lake District far from the city, out of Goldstein Castle, it was pitch black, pitch black, pitch black, like the fate of the English wizarding world, or rather, like the fate of Ravenclaw.

Karl stood up, walked to the window, and said, "Miss Kate, you know what? Ravenclaw hasn't been the Minister of Magic for two hundred years, and you know what that means? ”

Phyllis said, "What does that mean?" ”

Karl looked back at her and said, "One of the greatest wizards of our generation has appeared - Headmaster Dumbledore, he has a lot of authority in the entire wizarding world, on the contrary, our Minister of Magic is indeed an incompetent waste, a politician who likes to drill camps, this situation has given many people the illusion that the Ministry of Magic is just a dispensable organization, and it is of no use except for managing some trivial chores, but in reality it is not, the Ministry of Magic is quite important to the wizarding world, it is a consultative department. ”

Phyllis picked up the milk on the table and said cooperatively, "What to negotiate?" ”

"Negotiate the distribution of benefits." Carr said, "Miss Kate, there are only a few thousand wizards in England, we only need a school, a hospital, and an alley to concentrate most of the shops, and all of them are just a village where wizards gather, so people don't need to have detailed laws and regulations like Muggles, and they can't implement the so-called market here, and the operation of the entire wizarding world is actually coordinated by the Ministry of Magic, and the Minister of the Ministry of Magic is the person who leads the coordination." ”

"Sounds fair," Phyllis said. ”

Carl shook his head and said, "It just sounds, the operation of the Ministry of Magic is very complicated, and what is more troublesome is that there are no rules and regulations to follow, yes, there are no rules and regulations that can be completely followed, all families, all factions, and all systems are fighting, and the Minister of Magic plays a very key role in this." ”

Karl turned his head to look out the window and said, "Over the past few hundred years, Ravenclaw's voice at the Ministry of Magic has become quieter and quieter, and I hope to change that, and I'm willing to pay some price for that." ”

"It's a wise and responsible answer." Phyllis stood up and said, at the same time a cowardly and incompetent reply, she said in her heart.

Unlike the other family leaders, Carl did not only think about carrying forward the Price family, but hoped to bring up a somewhat declining Ravenclaw, of course, these two points are not contradictory, and after he leads Ravenclaw to victory in this war, the Price family will naturally be very glorious.

At this point, Carl, like Dumbledore and Voldemort, hopes to be able to realize his thoughts, if he just wants to live a stable life, they can live quite well, why did Voldemort gather so many people and make so many troubles, why did Dumbledore do everything he could to resist the counterattack of the pure-blood supremacy ideology against the wizarding world, why did Carl put his high position as the director of the Law Enforcement Department and did not do a good job, and went to great lengths to organize this Ravenclaw family gathering? Of course, power is a very important aspect, and those who pick the fruits of victory will also enjoy the cup of wine called power, but it is undeniable that they also have an idealistic side, they are all people with their own thoughts and spirits, which is a basic quality that a successful person must have.

But unlike the other two, Carl did not have a deep understanding of the difficult twists and turns of the road ahead, this is a war, and the price to pay in the war is not some, but all. To be honest, Phyllis was a little disappointed in this, she thought Carl was a capable man, but he still had too much of the sentimentality that Ravenclaw had, and he was not even as good as his daughter Lea in this regard.

"Alright, that's all for business." Feeling that the atmosphere was a little dignified, Carl deliberately said in a relaxed tone, "Let's talk about some private matters, as a parent of a student, I want to know how Leah is doing well in school, right?" ”

Phyllis smiled and said, "Very good, Leah is a good girl. ”

Carr asked, "How does it compare to Drake Malfoy?" "In her letter to her father, Leah mentions some school things, a large part of which is about the four members of the history interest group, and he doesn't care much about the other two Muggle-born students, Karl, but he still cares a lot about Drake Malfoy, a wizard from a pure-blood family in Slytherin, although he tells Leah that the Malfoy family is only a representative of decay and backwardness, but in fact, Lucius still has a considerable status in the wizarding world, Otherwise, he would not have been reprimanded by everyone at the previous meeting.

Phyllis's face was a little unpleasant, and she said, "What did Leah say?" "She is a teacher who treats those four children as students herself, and now what does this mean, complaining to her parents, using the power of the family to put pressure on herself? (To be continued.) )
