Chapter 44: A Visit Before Departure (2)
"Teacher, I want to ask you for something." Weston said what he meant, "I want you to be the leader of the Magic Guild in my place?" ”
"What?" Snape looked at him in astonishment, "Did I hear me wrong?" Or are you looking at a joke? ”
"I'm serious, Sensei!" Weston smiled bitterly, "Because of some things, I may need to leave for a while, and the guild can only be handed over to people I trust." Nicol can't be in the guild all the time, so you're the only one I can trust. ”
"What happened?" Snape asked, furrowing his brow, "I don't think there's anything else in the wizarding world that can stump you!" I'm afraid I don't need to talk about me now, even Dumbledore shouldn't be your opponent, right?"
"What if it's not a wizarding thing?" Weston shook his head with a wry smile.
"What do you mean?" Snape frowned.
Weston hesitated, but decided to tell the truth, after all, concealment had no practical meaning, and it could not be concealed for long.
Hearing Weston tell him what had happened and what had happened, Snape's eyes widened the more he listened, and he was a little cute like that, and Weston almost laughed when he saw it.
Lily, who had walked to the living room at some point, also heard Weston's words, and her hands holding the plate unconsciously let go in a daze, and fell to the ground with a "bang", which also woke Snape up.
"Are you sure you're not telling a story?" Snape looked at Weston suspiciously.
"Teacher, how can this kind of thing be used as a joke!" Weston said with a bitter face, "And, I suppose you remember my Patronus. ”
"You mean...... "Snape suddenly realized, "no wonder your Patronus is so strange. In other words, the image of your Patronus is your original image? Your magical Animagus is probably the real fallen angel, isn't it? ”
"That's right!" Weston nodded, "My uncle came here, you know, teacher, we don't have the power to fight him, and for the sake of the entire wizarding world, I have to go once." ”
"I'm afraid it's not the only one, right?" Snape gave him a deep look, "I remember, you were a Ravenclaw!" Ravenclaw's curiosity is never lacking, are you sure you're not curious about what hell looks like and what knowledge you have? ”
"Well, I'll admit it's partly there!" Weston said sheepishly.
"And, of course, want to meet your real father, right?" Snape snorted coldly, "I know, otherwise, with your character, I'm afraid you won't be too lazy to go over at all, right?" I don't think you're willing to give up your little wife! ”
Listening to Snape's words, Weston only felt a heavy sweat.
I didn't expect that the person who knew me best was not Fleur, but Snape! Weston was secretly surprised, should he be said to be the second-in-command of the former Death Eaters? The insight into the human heart is simply terrifying!
"I can promise you this, but ......," said Snape, as if nonchalantly, "I am not as strong as you, and if you don't manage it well, don't blame me!" ”
"Of course, I understand!" Weston smiled and nodded, "The Seven Sacred Families are all our collaborators, if the teacher needs anything, you can find them!" ”
"I don't need you to say this, I naturally know!" Snape looked impatient, "Lucius doesn't dare go against me yet!" You'd better mind yourself! Don't die in hell, you won't come back! ”
"I'll be careful, Sensei!" Weston smiled and nodded as if he hadn't heard Snape's taunt.
After a dinner at Snape's house, Weston left, and he had to inform the guild leaders, such as the Holy Seven, about it.
In the days that followed, Weston spent the next few days at home with Fleur, in addition to visiting some of his important partners.
Originally, they also bought a nest of their own, but Weston considered that after he left, Fleur would probably be lonely or bored, so they still live in the Delacour family's manor.
The Delacours had already known about Weston's intentions, and they naturally did not oppose Weston's decision while they were worried.
Time passed slowly, and with the arrival of Dracula and Angelina, it was time to part.
The former site of the Ministry of Magic.
Weston looked at the Dracull family, the Snape family, the Nicol family, the three Dumbledore brothers and sisters, and the head of the Holy Seven families, took a deep breath, and reluctantly showed a smile: "It's good to get here, let's go in, I'll be back as soon as possible." ”
"Teacher, do you have to go? Ariana can't bear you! Ariana said reluctantly with tears in her big eyes.
"Sorry, my student, the teacher has a reason to have to go. You'll have to study magic hard, and when the teacher returns, hopefully you'll be a solitary witch! Weston's eyes showed a hint of relief, a hint of reluctance.
"Ariana will!" Ariana nodded vigorously.
"Weston, I won't say anything else, I hope you are doing well!" Dumbledore's eyes were full of blessings, "But you need to come back as soon as possible, after all, I'm about to retire!" I'm interested in your magical university! ”
"No problem!" Weston smiled and nodded, "I'll be back soon, maybe, by that time, maybe I'll be willing to hire you as the principal of my school?" ”
"Then it's decided!" Dumbledore tapped him on the shoulder and rubbed his head again, as they had when they first met. Weston was stunned, and a trace of memory flashed in his eyes, and before he knew it, it turned out that so much time had passed!
Everyone who came to send him off had some words of blessing or advice to Weston, and in the end, they all left the last time for Fleur.
"Weston, I-" Fleur smiled reluctantly, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes, her lips trembling as she tried to say something, but her voice was even more still.
"I'm sorry, my love!" Weston also had a trace of sadness and reluctance on his face, and the tenderness in his eyes was even more than ever, "Forgive me, this is the last time!" ”
"As long as you come back safely, I will forgive you!" Fleur said angrily, but her slender arms wrapped around his neck and pasted the whole person, "You have to take good care of yourself, I'll wait for you to go home!" ”
"Okay, I promise you!" Weston said without hesitation.
"Also, don't look for a girl from hell!" Fleur snorted coldly, and then followed up glutinously, "Big deal, big deal, when you come back, I'll let Gabrielle marry you too!" ”
"No kidding, dear, you know, I'm the only one in my heart!" Weston said with a wry smile.
"Hmph, who knows about you!" Fleur snorted, then kissed him lightly on the cheek, sniffed his breath greedily, and finally, reluctantly, let him go.
Weston looked at the crowd, a flash of nostalgia in his eyes, and then he was replaced by grit, smiling and waving at them, and with a sharp turn, he walked into the old Ministry of Magic with Dracula, who had said goodbye to Angelina.
Ahead, maybe it's a new journey, who knows......
