In recent days, Hertok has felt that his luck has been particularly bad, and he can lose his gold membership card for some reason when he watches an opera in France, and the research of potions that was originally going smoothly suddenly encountered a bunch of problems and was directly stuck in the bottleneck.

Even if he took the elixir he had stored before, he couldn't make his luck better.

Hertok hadn't reported the loss of his Gold membership card to the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association, let alone anyone else.

Sometimes the more people who know, it will cause a lot of trouble for themselves.

Hertock never expected to be able to find his Gold membership card in a search in the Daily Prophet.

Through his connections, Hertock found someone to help him predict that his gold membership card would be brought to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

For now, he should go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, negotiate with Dumbledore, and identify the students one by one until he finds the boy who has picked up the gold membership card.

However, this is certainly not a good idea.

While Hertock was still wrestling with the matter, a letter was sent to him through an owl, and the letter read: You seem to be in some minor trouble, and I can help you.

P.S. At 8 p.m., I like to have evening tea on the terrace.

The sender's name is Bud Broad.

Hertok knew Bud Broad, and both were members of the Wizengamot, but they didn't really talk to much.

After all, the two are completely different in their fields of expertise, and the scope of communication is also different.

It is not unreasonable to interlac like mountains.

However, Hertock still planned to visit Bard Blod, and since the other party had written to him, it would certainly not be for nothing.

Seven o'clock three.

Hetok came to the lake early, and the wind blowing in his face was cool, temporarily dispelling the summer heat.

"He's a guy who likes to have fun. Hetok raised his head and looked into the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered, "Phantom apparitions are actually forbidden here?"

Hetok lit the tip of his wand and walked along the shore of the lake, finally stopping at a dilapidated dock and falling into a brief silence as he looked at the only small wrecked boat on the pier.

Hertok walked up, and the boat sailed towards the island in the lake, under the cover of night, against the night wind.

The boat traveled for a while, and before it sank, it reached the pier of the island in the lake, where a house-elf was greeting Hertock.

"The master told me to wait for you here, Mr. Hertok Dagworth, please come with me. The house-elf bowed to Hertok, and then, with an oil lamp, led the way.

They walked down the stone-paved paths, and through a few defensive spells before entering the manor.

"Good evening, Hetok, you've come a little earlier than I expected. Broad sat at a round table on the terrace and greeted the visitors.

"I'm here to tell me, what's the good news for you. Hertok suppressed his anxiety and asked.

"Oh, it seems that the rumors are true, you have lost something valuable. Broad smiled and gestured to Hertok to take a seat.

Hertok sat down and continued to listen patiently to the other man's nonsense, as long as Broad could provide him with some useful information, he didn't mind waiting a little longer.

"I have a little friend who wrote to me a while ago that something strange had happened to him. Brod poured some red wine over the glass in front of Hertock and continued, "He said that he had just returned from a vacation in France, but he had somehow received a letter from the Ministry of Magic because he had used the Flying Charm in France. However, in reality, he had only just finished the first grade, and he had not yet mastered how to use the Flying Charm. ”

Hertok opened his mouth, but still did not speak.

"It was a gift he brought back from his holiday in France and gave me, Muggle red wine, and it felt very nice. Broad finished speaking, and looked at Hetok with a smirk.

No matter how stupid you are, you can understand the meaning of Broad's words, and the child in the other party's mouth, Bacheng, is the boy who picked up his gold membership card.

"What's his name?" asked Hertok, taking a deep breath and lowering his voice.

Broad didn't answer immediately, just looked at Hetok calmly, and asked, "What are you going to do with this?

"Doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?" Hertok couldn't help but blurt out, but regretted it the next moment.

"Of course it does. Broad looked Hetok up and down, shook his head, and said, "Looks like you need a glass of red wine on the rocks to calm down." ”

Hetok was silent for a long time before he said, "I'm sorry, I'm rude, I've encountered a lot of bad luck recently, and I'm quite angry." ”

"I can understand that. Neither blamed the other party for his rudeness, but gave Hertock Albert's letter to himself.

After reading the letter, Hertok raised his head and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Not that I hope. Broad corrected, "You seem to have caused trouble for my little friend." ”

"I'll make it up to him. Hetok sped away.

"Oh, you seem to ...... Didn't understand what I was saying. Brod crossed his hands, looked at Hetok, and kindly reminded, "He doesn't need you to make any compensation, you just need to clean up the mess you have made." ”

"Mess?" Hetok repeated softly.

"Isn't it?" asked Broad, rhetorically.

"In a way, it's a mess. Hertok didn't deny it, "but it's not a big deal." ”

"It could be a big deal for him. Broad said.

Hetok was silent, and nodded again to indicate that he understood.

"Thank you, Mr. Broad. Hertok got up to thank the other and prepared to leave.

"Why don't you stay and have a cup of evening tea?" Broad asked with a smile, "We can sit down and talk......

"No," Hetok said flatly, refused, "thank you for your kindness, but I'm busy and have a lot to do, so I don't have much time to enjoy my leisure." ”

"I think you'll be willing to sit down and talk to me soon. Broad didn't care, and said to Hetok with a smile, "I won't be here next time we meet." ”

Hetok left the lake hut and returned to the shore in the small broken boat, he already knew the boy's name, and the next step was to negotiate with the other party and get his gold membership card back.

"He's gone!"

As soon as Hertock's front foot left, McDoug smiled and sat down in Hetok's position, picked up the other party's untouched wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and blinked and said, "It tastes good." However, Anderson didn't send me a bottle as well. ”

"Because I'm his professor!" said Broad, stroking his beard and smiling happily.

"Do you think Hertok will succeed?".

"If he cleans up the mess he's messed up, he'll get his belongings back. Broad said with a smile.

"Anyway, why are you seeing Hertock with me?" asked McDoug again.

That's right, the Lake Cottage is actually one of McDoug's homes, and although it is called a cottage, it is actually a small manor.

"That guy won't be able to get that gold membership card back, and when he comes here to look for me, he won't be able to find anyone. Broad said pleasantly.

"How did you guess it was a gold membership card. McDoug asked rhetorically.

"Otherwise, what do you think would have caused Hertock to bother finding?" said Blod, cheerfully.

"Then why ......"

"Why did it fail?" asked Broad rhetorically.

"Hmm. ”

"Anderson is different from the other kids," Broad said softly, "and if Hertock tries to settle this matter with compensation, he's going to have to run into a nose." ”

"Well, I've heard that Rowanna is going to Hogwarts as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. McDoug abruptly diverted the subject.

"This ......" Broad sipped his red wine and frowned.

McDoug's tone became very serious, and his brow furrowed slightly, "What is he doing at Hogwarts?"

"Does Gerber know about this?" asked Broad suddenly.

"I don't know yet. McDoug shook his head and said, "Go find him and ask him what's going on!"

Gerber certainly wouldn't tell Rowanna about inheritance because of his relatives. Broad shook his head and directly vetoed the most likely thing: "As a direct member of Smith's line, I must have seen some relevant records." Rowanna was smart, and he probably guessed something from these records. ”

"He's smart, but unfortunately his personality isn't suitable. McDoug said softly, "And...... Forget it, anyway, there are two more suitable candidates now, and it would be nice to pick one of them from among them when the time comes. ”

"Well, until then, watch them. ”

"I will. McDoug shook his goblet with a smile, "This wine is good, anyway, I won the last bet!"

"I think most of your books are given away!" Broad shook his head helplessly, "How many have you sold?"

"It should be half, right?" said McDoug after a moment's thought, smiling, "willing to gamble and lose." ”

"Well, he's yours. Brod gestured to the open bottle of red wine. With that, he picked up the bottle and poured himself a small glass.

"Let's go and find Gerber together to figure this out. McDoug tapped the cork with his wand, and it jumped back to the top of the bottle and re-corked it.

McDoug picked up half a bottle of red wine and headed for the fireplace, and Broad followed McDoug and disappeared into the green flames of the fireplace.
