Chapter 44: Why Are You So Skilled?
A magic carpet dealer's business, in the eyes of Fudge and Crouch, is not a big deal.
Fudge's words were thorough.
Since there are clear rules, the law must be respected...... You can't talk in person, you have to talk privately.
I can't even get a perfect score for this kind of reading comprehension, so I'm still far from 'Master, I've Understood'.
Fudge didn't bother to open the back door to such an idiot.
But if the other party is smart enough and upright......
Fudge didn't mind letting the English wizards, who lacked entertainment and were in dire straits, use the magic carpet of the Arab world sooner rather than later.
Of course, there is an expensive cancellation fee.
As for whether he can seize the family transportation market, what does it have to do with him, anyway, he takes money to do things.
In this field: Fuji has a good reputation, has always taken money to do things, treats people with integrity, and is not bullied.
Who walked through his back door, who didn't give a thumbs up and say yes. e⦠Except for Malfoy.
Another point is that if the magic carpet merchants can seize the market, it will be even better.
Disrupting the share of domestic means of transportation, several major broom makers had to come to the door overnight and ask him to ban the sale of magic carpets.
If you can't sell someone else, then ban him! Or, the coercive magic carpet dealer turns the store into a British business by selling it at a low price.
If the magic carpet merchant knows what, he's a store from Mars, and he's going to kneel quickly.
No matter which way you look at it, Fudge is sure to make money and get a wave of support.
Crouch didn't want to deal with the businessman even more. If it wasn't for Horace's introduction, how could the other party contact an official of his level.
Although Crouch did not become the Minister of Magic, he was also the Minister of Magic, and he still had some prestige!
Moreover, he hates breaking the law and discipline the most in his life!
There is no doubt that Horace must have taken a lot of benefits.
Crouch knew his teacher.
When he was young, he liked material comforts and made friends with famous, successful, and powerful people.
Everyone stopped talking to the magic carpet merchant, and Fudge continued to ask:
"Barty, see where Ludo has gone? I've been looking for him.
It's a mess around here, and there was just sniffing and stealing and collapsing the tent...... Hey, Lucius, what's going on? ā
Fudge suddenly looked into the distance and waved his hand.
Malfoy appears to be on a walk, followed by two big men, Crabbe and Goyle.
Next to him is a gloomy wizard, McNeil. This sorcerer is responsible for slaughtering magical creatures that have sinned.
When Buckbeak was executed, he was the one who was the axeman.
Hearing the shout, Malfoy looked up and saw Minister Fudge, a little smile on his pale face.
He said aloud, "I just heard on the road that there are magical creatures attacking the camp, and I don't know whose tent collapsed and lost a lot of things.
Now there is no competition, let's go and see the excitement and have fun. ā
Fudge looked strange as he exclaimed, "It's true that a tent has fallen, but my reminder, it's best to be prepared, Lucius." ā
"What?" Malfoy still had a graceful smile on his face.
Fudge couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "It's ...... that collapsed Tents at home. ā
āā¦ā¦ā
Malfoy was stunned for two seconds, then turned and ran.
Banana Barra! No wonder Weasley laughed so disgustingly.
This old yin-yang man!
The youngest son didn't **!
Fudge finally laughed, but Crouch didn't laugh, still with a cold zombie face.
"Oops, where did Ludo go?"
"He's gone to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Wizardry, don't you know?" Crouch said coldly.
"What's going on?" Fudge was taken aback. "Was he beaten?
I said let him be more restrained, the last time the Bulgarian fans were beaten, there were rumors, and he took the lead in instigating it.
Kingsley told me that several Bulgarian fans were going to put him in a sack. ā
"No, Arthur just brought in a message that Bertha was seriously injured and taken to the hospital."
Crouch's eyes were cloudy, and he glanced at William and Hermione imperceptibly.
"What, I...... I didn't even know about it. Fudge was shocked.
"I heard...... It was Mr. Stark and Miss Granger who saved Bertha in Albania. Crouch said softly.
"Really? What's going on, William. Fudge asked hurriedly.
"She must have met a dark wizard in Albania, and Ann over there has always been bad.
How did this Bertha go to Albania? ā
"Ludo has given the athletic department a holiday." Crouch sneered, "Connelly, don't you know about this matter?" ā
Fudge was speechless, of course he knew.
Without his hints, how could Ludo, a fool, give the sports department a holiday when he is at his busiest.
It's not to make things difficult for Crouch.
But he certainly couldn't admit it, he coughed a few times: "I don't know! This Ludo! I'm going to visit them at St. Mungo's Hospital now. ā
He turned his head again and said, "William, let's go back with Hermione first."
Later, I'll come back and have something to ask. ā
After Fudge finished speaking, he hurriedly left with the officials.
"Mr. Stark," Crouch said, glancing at Horace, and suddenly:
"Tonight, I'd like to invite Miss Granger and me to my tent."
"Huh?" William and Hermione exchanged a look.
The two of them have nothing to do with Crouch, why did the other party suddenly invite them.
"As you may already know, Dumbledore negotiated the Triwizard Tournament."
Crouch explained, "But the Goblet of Fire for the Warriors is still with you. I need to talk to you about this. ā
William bowed slightly.
Crouch was gone, and the Egyptian carpet merchant followed, seemingly ready to continue the conversation.
William looked at Crouch's back, didn't speak, and pondered.
For such a thing as the Goblet of Fire, just find a subordinate and hand it over, not for a minute.
Why bother finding time to meet in private?
Strange Crouch.
Hermione shook William's hand and gestured to the old man, still staring at the two of them.
From the moment they first appeared, Horace stared at them unabashedly.
I have been staring at it for ten minutes in a row, and I haven't blinked, as if I have seen a peerless treasure.
If you don't blink for so long, won't your eyes dry out?
"Professor Slughorn, if nothing happens, let's go first." William said politely.
"Know me?" The old man's eyes lit up.
"Of course, Professor Dumbledore has spoken of you more than once, about the time he worked with you...... Joyful and unforgettable. ā
William said casually.
Dumbledore only mentioned Voldemort's death, and Horace was overjoyed...... He realized that this colleague might have shared a dark secret with Tom.
To investigate the number of Horcruxes, the Headmaster started with Horace.
"Yo, kid, dishonesty, that's not what Albus would say." Horace laughed.
"But we are really old colleagues and old friends."
Horace was very old and a little fat, but he was well maintained, just like Dumbledore...... It's a delicate old man.
However, the baldness gave him a lot of points.
As a master of potions, Horace can't cure baldness...... Sure enough, baldness is a terminal illness no matter where it is.
It is also a killer of middle-aged and elderly men's appearance.
No wonder Professor Snape never washes his hair, after all, his hairline is also getting higher every year.
He's afraid of losing his hair!
And baldness is the only thing that can threaten his appearance!
Horace continued: "When we first met, my name was Horace, and I had admired the two of us for a long time, and I wanted to meet you for a long time.
I wrote many letters to Albus asking him to bring them to my Christmas party, but they were all refused. ā
Horace's eyes seemed to glow.
"Please forgive me, as a teacher, I have a fanatical paranoia about cultivating excellent students."
He regretted that he retired too early and actually missed this student.
Judging from the information Horace has learned over the years, William is definitely the best little wizard he has ever seen.
Even, Tom back then, was not so good.
"Then you can come back to teach, I'm sure Professor Dumbledore will always have a place for you." William said softly
"Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Horace muttered, "He invited me this year...... So many people died, and they invited me.
This old slippery head! ā
Dumbledore really knows how to invite people. Let Horace, the master of potions, serve as the defense of the dark arts?
It seems that Dumbledore loved Snape a little more than Horace.
"I thought, can we go to my tent and have a drink?" Horace suggested, "I can tell you interesting things.
For example, Arbus used to be a big dirty man, and he was the best at writing sonnets.
I left a lot of manuscripts and prepared to wait for him to die...... Well, after retirement, sell it at a high price. ā
"I'm sorry, Professor." William refused.
"We'll have to go find our tent now.
Out for a while, I think my parents, and Hermione's parents, were waiting. ā
Horace was a little disappointed.
"Son, I'm going to have a party in the evening with a lot of celebrities in attendance...... Are you coming? ā
"It depends, sir." William smiled.
The three of them slowly left, and after walking away, Hermione asked in a low voice:
"William, Professor Dumbledore, haven't you always wanted to ask about something?" Hermione wondered, "Such a great opportunity, why not go?" ā
William looked at Hermione, touched her head and said:
"Learn to indulge in what you want...... Believe it or not, the more I don't care, the more Horace feels like a cat's claw.
When you go back at night, you may not be able to sleep.
We have to give him hope and make him feel that he is almost there.
But he hung his appetite all the time, and he couldn't get it.
If he said yes immediately, he felt that there was nothing unusual, and it was difficult to get what we wanted. ā
William was well at it. Learn from the goddess and lick the appearance of the dog.
Horace's weaknesses are obvious, and fiddling with him is not easy.
He turned his head to Neville behind him and said, "Remember, Neville, chasing girls is the same, you must learn it well." ā
Neville nodded hurriedly. Is this why William is so popular?
He got it, and if you think about it, his pet Riffou, that's how it did to him!
The frequent hiding, when he thought he was missing, suddenly reappeared.
Neville was going to study hard and get ready to ...... Professor Snape I want to get away with it.
If you can conquer the professor, you will be comfortable in Potions class in the future.
Hermione was also thoughtful, and she suddenly said, "William, why are you so skilled?" ā
āā¦ā¦ā
