Chapter 166: Negotiation
16 Bakers Street
"Haven't you gotten up yet! It's almost time," Erin's impatient voice came from downstairs. Before this was put aside, she had already rushed into the house and grabbed her son. Butβnot today, it's not fit to break in again.
"Upβup," replied Ivey, sitting on the edge of the bed, putting on his pants.
Some time ago, he just celebrated his 14th birthday. With the help of bone quenching elixirs, the body is fully developed. The current Ivy is more than 1.8 meters tall, with a strong and well-proportioned body, and an extremely powerful physique. After the long opening, the face is also a little less delicate and becomes tough, and with brown hair and black eyes, it looks very attractive.
Skipping him, there was a fiery stunner lying on the bed behind him.
She slept on her side, her stray reddish hair obscuring her face. The curves of any man's body, exaggerated enough to make his blood run high, are perfectly framed under the supple silk wrap.
In this situation, what happened, everyone must be able to guess.
Let's congratulate Ivey, who finally got his wish and grew up.
Ivey, fully dressed, lay back on the bed. Reaching out to brush away her stray hair, revealing Rebelle's beautiful face.
"I'm going to run errands~" he whispered softly
β...β
There was no response, and Rebelle was still asleep, and it seemed that she had been tossed enough last night.
There was no response, and Ivey didn't care. I admired Rebelle's sultry posture again, and then I couldn't hold back - a "pop" sound, slapped on the straight arc, and caused a ripple.
"Woo....." The sleeping Lei Belle screamed from a dream, but still didn't wake up.
"Hey, heyβ" Feeling the slippery touch in his hands, Ivy smiled smugly and closed the door.
Just walked down the stairs
"Betty, come and serve me breakfast" was the mother-in-law's voice
He had an idea, and immediately shouted "I'm coming!" β
The sound was so loud that it startled all three ladies in the living room.
Ivy hurried downstairs, first to the table and pressed Betty back to her seat. Then he trotted over to his mother-in-law, Wendy, and led her to sit down at the table. As for Irene... Don't worry at all. He had already sat on the sidelines, waiting to be fed.
And the mother and daughter, who were shocked, did not resist and were at his mercy.
"Leave it to me, I'll come later~ You are responsible for eating"
I ran back and forth several times, and after arranging the food and utensils one by one, I sat down.
"It sounds good~" Coming back to her senses, Wendy clasped her hands around her chest and said unhurriedly, "I made breakfast." You just run twice to serve a plate, which doesn't seem to be very sincere. β
Betty also tilted her head and squinted at him.
"Roger! I'll leave it to me in the future, and my mother-in-law just needs to rest and eat well. Ivey immediately patted his chest and assured
"Then I'm looking forward to your performance" Wendy nodded with satisfaction and let go of her arm "Eat"
Wendy's side passed, and Ivey turned to Betty again. His eyes narrowed, his mouth grinned, and he showed a beckoning cat-like smile and stuck it up, "Hehe, eat, wife~"
The look of the hippie smile made Betty roll her eyes. I had no choice but to pick up the knife and fork, "Eat quickly, I'll go to the Ministry of Magic in a while." β
"Gotcha!"
Take a lookββ! If you don't say that Ivey can eat openly~ Consciousness is very important!
"What are you looking for me again?" After skillfully resolving the family conflict, Ivy remembered to get down to business.
"Something~" Wendy said, "Think about Sirius last time"
"It's not going to be asking me to sponsor the World Cup, is it? - No money! He guessed it was about the Triwizard Tournament. Just like last semester, for such a big matter, even if the Ministry of Magic takes the lead, the opinion of he, the major shareholder, must be passed.
"That can't be. The finals will start soon, and the sponsorship has already been completed. β
"Maybe there's something else going on," Erin began, "Some time ago, the Ministry of Magic asked St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for a 10-man medical team. And recently, the Dean asked our department to make a large number of high-quality potions for trauma. β
"You didn't hear any news?" Ivey asked
"They all dodge questions. It should be the ministry that ordered the news to be blocked."
"END - looks like I can only ask Fudge"
.....
After finishing breakfast, I cleaned up briefly and prepared to go to the Ministry of Magic.
However, this time Erin was not accompanied, and she took care of little Ollie at home.
Ollie was nearly three years old and was already stumbling to walk and call people. The appearance is also very different from when I first saw it, and the whole has become very white and tender. The little face is lubricated, and the two round big eyes are very cute.
After being together for a long time, Ollie and the women in the family are very familiar. But it may be because of temperament, except for Rebelle, who is closest to Erin. So when Ivy and the two had an in-depth exchange, she took care of it.
The trio enter the Ministry of Magic through the fireplace. No one greeted them this time
"It's a little deserted~"
Flow hall outside the fireplace net
Compared to the last crowded scene, it is empty at this moment.
Betty didn't say anything because she was here for the first time. Just curiously looking around.
"The World Cup attracts a lot of wizards, from all countries. Maintaining order and security alone drained the Ministry of Magic's staff. Wendy explained
Ivy nodded, then asked, "Is Fudge in the office?" β
"He said he was waiting for us in the office"
"Let's go, let's go home when we're done."
Arriving at the door of the minister's office, Ivey knocked on the door
"Please come in"
The three pushed the door open
"Ahh Welcome~" Fudge greeted him warmly
"Uncle Fudge, it can't be about Hogwarts again. You can talk to Dumbledore," Ivy said lazily
"How can that be~" Fujile replied hehehehe, "Although I know that you are not a person who pays attention to these, the necessary procedures still have to be followed." And as the Minister of Magic, I have to strictly follow the established procedures. Please be considerate of this."
"Come onβUncle Fudge, don't talk like this between us." Ivy rolled her eyes
"Haha-" Fudge smiled heartily, "yes, I'm out of sight." Then Ivey, you're welcome. Next semester, the Ministry of Magic is preparing to hold a big event at Hogwarts, and I want your support. β
"Can I know what the event is?"
"It's a restart event. You're too young to have heard of it. But Ms. Wendy should know."
"I know?"
"Triwizard Tournament," Fudge smiled and slowly spit out
"Triwizard Tournament!" Wendy stood up excitedly. Seems she does
"That's right"
"Minister Fudge, I'm sure you know why the Triwizard Tournament was suspended. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to suddenly restart the game? Wendy said it very tactfully, but the meaning was obvious - disapproval. Because in her opinion, both Ivey and Betty have a high probability of being selected as a warrior. And there is a reason why this event has been suspended for two or three hundred years. It's its high mortality rate.
"Of course I know~ We are also ready to be questioned by various families," Fudge understood her concerns, "but please believe that we have made a lot of preparations to ensure the safety of the participating warriors." Moreover, in order to prevent some young wizards with insufficient ability from being selected, the age of the participating students will be adjusted to seventeen years old or older. β
"Uh- can you explain what Triwizard Tournament is? The same game as the Dueling Club? Ivey interjected
"Triwizard Tournament is nominally a friendly competition. The process is a pass, not a duel, and it can be much larger. It is a platform for the exchange of spells between the three largest magic schools in Europe. β
"It's not an internal Hogwarts game?" Betty said
"Triwizard Tournament is an international event. Hogwarts, Beauxbatons in France, and Durmstrang in Northern Europe. β
"Haven't heard of it?" Ivey complained
"That's why it's all the more important to communicate," Fudge said
"But Uncle Fudge, doesn't this need to be voted on by the other shareholders? Why am I alone? β
"It's enough to have your nod. Since Lucius was kicked out of the shareholders' meeting, his shares were transferred to Dumbledore by the Ministry of Magic. In other words, Dumbledore is now the Executive Director of Hogwarts. He's already agreed to the event, and as long as you nod your head again, you don't need other shareholder opinions. β
"Now that it's all said and done, what else can I sayβjust do it"
"I know you'll agree," Fudge smiled, "the work of the Ministry of Magic in the past two years has been carried out steadily thanks to your understanding and support. β
As he spoke, he pulled out a few tickets from his desk drawer, "I heard that you went to country M some time ago to watch the Muggle football World Cup final. How does it feel? β
"It's ok. The two-point system was changed to a three-point system to win, and the game was a lot more exciting. "Ivey was there with his family
"Which country won?"
"Brazil"
"Oh β Brazil is also a traditional Quidditch powerhouse. Although he did not make it to the final this time, he has won the Quidditch World Cup several times. Fudge chatted casually and handed over his tickets, "I'd like to invite you to watch the upcoming Quidditch World Cup final as my personal thank you - trust me, it's definitely better than a Muggle game." β
"Let's talk about it first, we won't go if the location is not good-" Ivy said jokingly
"Haha - don't worry, you're in the best position. Top-floor box, with VIPs. β
"Who?"
"Except for a few officials from other ministries of magic, it's our own people. Like- Weasleys, Barty, Malfoy, etc."
"Don't-" Wendy was reluctant to hear that there was the Malfoy family, "I felt sick to my stomach when I saw Lucius"
"Then go to the box next door, the same, they are all acquaintances." Fudge said
"Okay, thank you for your kindness."
"Where~ It's my honor that you can appreciate your face."
.....
In a mutual exchange of pleasantries, the trio left the Ministry of Magic.
ββββ
"Finished talking?" As the flames in the fireplace erupted, the figures of the three appeared in the home. Erin asked aloud when she heard the commotion.
