Chapter 297: Little Fox Louis
As Headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore warmly welcomed the arrival of Pandaria's representatives.
Dumbledore said that he sincerely welcomed the arrival of Pandaria's representatives, and that Hogwarts was willing to work with Pandaria to uphold the principles of mutual benefit, mutual trust and mutual assistance, and work together to build a harmonious and beautiful world.
Zhu Talan spoke highly of Headmaster Dumbledore and Hogwarts, and hoped that the two sides would further strengthen exchanges and visits and deepen practical cooperation.
During the meeting, the two sides had an in-depth exchange of views and agreed that the bottom line should not be touched, like Voldemort and his servants Death Eaters, their behavior is anti-social and anti-life, they are completely self-defeating, and Pandaria is willing to work with Hogwarts to pursue Voldemort and his minions, and firmly say "no" to Voldemort's group that attempts to destroy the harmonious and beautiful wizarding world, and resolutely stop their actions of destroying the world.
Of course, Professor Snape also got the results he wanted, rain corns, mint leaves, golden lotus, fool's lonely, the supply of the amount open to him, and the wealth of the Shadow Sect, which may be the foundation of ten thousand years of accumulation, on the condition that one gallon of truth spitting potion be provided every month.
Professor Snape is well aware of the no-ask principle, he is a man of full respect for buyers, and he never asks who buys the medicine for what – even if it is poison, he does not ask who poisons it.
This is the cultivation of a qualified pharmacist, good children do not learn.
Now that the tone had been set for dealing with Voldemort together, Headmaster Dumbledore relaxed, and when it was time for dinner, he invited the three pandamen to dine in the Great Hall together.
I'm not worried that my classmates will be scared, after all, they have seen a lot of magical creatures, even Mei Wa, and they are still panda people?
Maybe in the future, they will have to meet more bizarre races, and it would be good to see the panda people for a vaccination now.
As Louis expected, when they appeared in the auditorium, the originally noisy auditorium instantly fell silent, and everyone stared at the three panda people who appeared in the auditorium, the most exaggerated of which was Wesley's twins, holding a piece of bread dipped in creamy mushroom soup, and even forgot to stuff it in his mouth.
Due to Ms. Rita Skeeter's overtime work at the Daily Prophet, before the afternoon class, the students had already seen things about the inner world, so they were a little mentally prepared for the panda man who suddenly appeared in the auditorium.
Durmstrang and Beauxbatons' classmates were the same, staring intently at the panda people. Originally, my classmates liked pandas very much at their age, but now that they see panda people, how can they not stare intently for a while?
Dumbledore led the pandas and Louis to the guest of honor, and when the pandas were seated, he stretched out his arms and motioned for his classmates to be quiet.
"Students, I think you've read this afternoon's newspaper too," Dumbledore said loudly, "These three are pandanmen from Pandaria, and of course, our friends, and we have decided to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with Pandaria after friendly consultations...... Now, please welcome the arrival of the three friends with applause! ”
There was warm applause and cheers from below, Ron stared at Lao Chen intently, tilted his head and whispered to Harry: "I think this must be Louis's doing, let's go to his office later and ask, let him introduce us to these panda friends, what do you say?" ”
"That's a great idea, Ron." Harry replied with a grin.
After the introduction, Dumbledore just wanted to introduce himself to the three pandaren, and suddenly remembered that they might not be able to write English very well, and they didn't know what Hogwarts had to cook, so he knocked on the table, and Aslo came in response, looking at Dumbledore with big eyes, waiting for his orders.
"Go and put together three menus for three guests." Dumbledore said simply.
Aslo vanished, and after a while returned to his place with three illustrated menus, handing them to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore took the menu and handed it over to the pandaren.
"Hah...... I think there must be a lot of traditional food in your country, right? Lao Chen took the menu and asked with a smile.
Louis's face froze, how do you answer this, what traditional food do you want to eat? Fish and chips? Canned corned beef? Or starry sky-gazing?
That's a bit of a stretch...... Compared to a foodie mecca like Pandaria, England is a bit ...... It's kind of ......
Expensive.
That's all Louis can say, he now misses his last life - the last Seris was not inferior in food.
"Try this French food, hey, authentic." Louis could only point to the French food on the menu, and introduced it with a little humility: "Oh, this Italian food is also good, and there is German food, don't you know, that sauerkraut with roast pork knuckle is really amazing, hey, authentic." ”
Yes, our old Berlin is black flag, nothing else, it's all authentic.
Otherwise, the public colonies praised the sewers built by the Germans as good, and they were all drilled by digging tunnels.
"Then I'll have this roasted pork knuckle with sauerkraut." Lao Chen popped up the menu, "Another sausage platter, a red stewed tripe, and a Ligurian pizza...... Not...... Ah, this creamy mushroom soup looks good, with a baguette. ”
Panda people eat a lot, and Lao Chen's amount of food is really normal.
If it weren't for Durmstrang's recent arrival, there wouldn't have been a roast pork knuckle on the Hogwarts menu.
Zhu Talan and Tao Shi also ordered the same meal, and the speed of the Hogwarts house-elves shocked them fiercely, and it didn't take long for the dishes they had just ordered to be placed in front of them.
"Haha, as soon as I see the food, I can't help it." Lao Chen skillfully picked up the knife and fork and sighed: "Actually, it still makes me feel more comfortable, but there is no way, do you follow the customs...... I remember going to the land of men, Lordaeron, ah, yes, I learned how to use knives and forks there. ”
As he spoke, he cut off a piece of crispy skin from his elbow, dipped it in the yellow mustard on one side, put it in his mouth, and squinted his eyes pleasantly.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Family, food, friends, that's the most important thing!" ”
As he spoke, he also looked at Louis and Dumbledore: "I hope you can come to Pandaria to have some fun and feel the customs of Pandaria - of course, don't forget, next time I'll invite." ”
Well, that's a maddening remark for Louis, he's never seen a pandaman actually invite him to dinner.
"That's settled, Mr. Storm Spirit." Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "As for Pandaria, I'm looking forward to going there one day. ”
"No problem, I'll ask next time." Lao Chen muttered again, didn't need a knife and fork, stretched out his palm and cracked his elbow and began to gobble up.
It seems that this pork knuckle has won his heart.
During the meal, Louis didn't forget to talk to Headmaster Dumbledore. He glanced at Chen, who was still gobbling up, and asked Dumbledore, "Headmaster, how did you communicate with them at the Ministry of Magic?" ”
Dumbledore fiddled with the fries on his plate and said absentmindedly, "Fortunately, Connelly didn't express his support or opposition, he was an old non-stick player, and several other directors had mixed opinions about it, with supporters believing that this was a good opportunity for wizards to walk in the sun, while opponents thought that this new world was full of unknown risks." ”
"Risk always coexists with opportunity, and they should understand this," Louis picked up his cup and took a sip of juice: "My grandfather once heard fishermen say that the stronger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish, how can there be a good thing in the world?" ”
"It's just an opportunity to make some gains," Dumbledore chuckled, "I can say that I know too well about this group of officials of the Ministry of Magic." ”
"Do big things and spare your life, and forget your life when you see small profits?" Louis asked with a smile.
"You're very accurate." Dumbledore laughed too, Louis was a young man who could always think of going with him, and he really deserved to be his successor.
After laughing for a while, Professor Dumbledore continued, "The officials of the Ministry of Magic believe that in addition to the original Hogwarts and King's Cross stations, as well as Godric's Hollow, a node of two worlds can also be added to the building of the Ministry of Magic...... At that time, there was also the Minister of the French Ministry of Magic, and he wanted to meet you, let me ask your opinion? ”
"What does he want to see me for?" Louis put down the juice glass.
"It's nothing more than to talk to you about when the French wizarding world will be included in the scope of the inner world, I think as long as you are not a fool, you will definitely understand the importance of the inner world to wizards." Dumbledore smiled and continued: "Muggles' technology is advancing rapidly, sooner or later, they will invent technology that can penetrate the Muggle Expulsion Charm, and it is inevitable that there will be a small number of people with ulterior motives to stir up opposition between the wizarding world and Muggles, in fact, it is okay for the two worlds to maintain the status quo, provided that wizards are in a safe enough situation." ”
"And you, Louis, your inner world, provide such an opportunity for everyone." Headmaster Dumbledore put down his knife and fork and looked at Louis with burning eyes, "I'm sure it won't be long before the International Confederation of Wizards and Wizards will send someone to talk to you." ”
"Aren't you the president of the International Confederation of Wizards?" Louis asked hesitantly, he didn't know what medicine was sold in Dumbledore's gourd.
"The president is not a king, he can't control everything, and even if he is a king, he can't completely decide everything." Dumbledore shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "I am the headmaster of Hogwarts, a member of the British wizarding community, do you think I can represent the interests of the German wizarding community?" ”
"That's right." Louis was happy, and was about to say something, but he heard Dumbledore's leisurely words again.
"Actually, I think it's hard for you to connect the world and the wizarding world, and you don't even have time to attend Hogwarts classes."
Louis hurriedly denied with a smile: "You think too much, Professor Dumbledore, in fact, I don't ......"
"Of course you're working hard, bringing the British wizarding world into the world has exhausted all your magic, and Professor Snape's treasured potions, why aren't you working hard?" Dumbledore looked at Louis with a smirk.
Dumbledore's subtext is that you can't help in vain, and you have to take a little benefit anyway.
Louis suddenly realized, and he immediately climbed up the pole: "Professor, you are right, it is indeed very hard, this work is not done by people, alas...... At a young age, I was burdened with responsibilities that I shouldn't have at my age, and I was actually quite tired. ”
Professor Dumbledore stroked his beard, revealing a teachable expression.
Louis thought to himself, I've been following you old fox for a long time, and I've learned badly, and now I'm about to become a little fox......
"I'll count the potions and herbs I've consumed during this time." Professor Snape said coldly, and Louis always felt that Snape's smile was a little bloodthirsty, and he shivered, feeling that some people were going to bleed profusely.
Dumbledore said to Louis in a voice that only two people could hear, "The wizarding world is not the right place for you to develop the so-called 'internationalist spirit', and I want to tell you that these stubborn old fellows are afraid of power and have no virtue, and if you involve them in the affairs of the inner world at no cost, they will doubt your motives, and if you set a price that seems unacceptable to them, they will believe that sometimes people are so strange." ”
"I see, Professor." Louis nodded, Dumbledore's valuable life experience was suitable for him to learn one, after all, he was still a pattern.
The main course is followed by a traditional dessert. Tao lost a very sweet tooth, she asked Aslo to add three or four puddings to her in a row, until Zhu Talan stopped her, she reluctantly threw down the pudding box and lay on the table to get angry.
"I'm here for your good, Tao Lost." Zhu Talan scooped a small spoonful of pudding with a spoon and put it in his mouth, with a satisfied look on the panda's face: "As a sword in the shadows, you must always pay attention to your body management, sweets will make people fat, and when you become fat like Lao Chen, I will see how you can perform light skills." ”
Tao Yu knew that what Zhu Talan said made sense, but she was just angry, and her bun face was quite cute.
Louis silently said two sentences: I am not Faurecon, I am not Faurcon, and then turned to Professor Snape and said, "Professor, I would like to ask you to help me with a small matter. ”
Snape didn't lift his eyelids, and let out a nasal "hmm".
Louis had long been accustomed to the way he communicated with Snape, and he was not angry, and said with a smile: "I know that Karkaroff has been pestering you recently, which is a bit annoying, so leave this trouble to me, how about you let him come to my office in the evening?" ”
