Chapter 124: The Holy Maiden of Compassion (Asking for Subscriptions and Rewards)
"Well, that's good!"
Arthur nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the three of them and smiled mysteriously, and spoke.
"If nothing else, we'll see the Golden Cup this weekend."
When Cedric heard this, they all looked at each other in surprise.
Only three days have passed since the last meeting of the secret passages. The students can't even get out of the castle these days, how did Arthur do it?
He'd said that the Hufflepuff Gold Cup was now in a special vault at Gringotts Bank, and only goblins could open it.
And that vault belonged to the Strange family, and the goblins would not open the door to the vault without the presence of a member of that family.
Why would Arthur be so confident that he could get the Gold Cup this weekend?
"Arthur, how did you do that?"
Cedric asked eagerly.
"Yes! Arthur, can you tell us?" The brothers, George and Fred, also looked at Arthur curiously.
"It's a secret. When you get hold of that, I'll tell you."
Arthur shook his head, he couldn't tell the three Cedrics about how to get the gold cup out just yet.
Without a mastery of Occlumency, they can easily be read by wizards who are adept at using Celestial Minds.
As long as the three of them meet with these Dementor Master, and the secrets they know come to mind, they will be known by these wizards.
For the safety of Cedric and Wesley's twins, Arthur couldn't have said how he would get the Gold Cup right now.
After separating from Cedric, Arthur prepares to find Hermione, wanting to ask her if she had seen the Dark Shadow Wizard that Cedric spoke of that night.
But as soon as he reached the magic staircase, he was stopped by Filch.
"The Daily Prophet article is well written. This is the 100 gold Galleons that Minerva promised you."
In the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore smiled and held the Daily Prophet as he pulled out a bag of gold coins from a drawer and handed it to Arthur.
"Thank you, Headmaster. As a part of Hogwarts, that's what I'm supposed to do."
Arthur said modestly, reaching out and taking the bag of gold coins into his arms.
The Daily Prophet promised him 20 gold galleons for his manuscript fee, and Headmaster Dumbledore gave him another 100 gold gallons.
An article completed in an hour netted 120 gold gallons. That's a lot of money.
If it weren't for the events that took place that shocked the entire British wizarding community, some wizards were very concerned about the details of what happened that night, which led to a lot of popularity and the article was loved by the public.
If you change to other content, it doesn't have to be this heat.
Otherwise, Arthur wants to expand his side hustle and become a full-time copywriter to make money with his articles.
"If Gatler sees that you don't have him in your article. He must be very angry. Haha~"
When Arthur took the gold from the table, Dumbledore joked. He didn't care about Arthur's "honest" performance.
An orphan who values money so much. Although there are a few minor problems. But it's better than being interested in black magic.
Thinking that before Grindelwald parted, he also wanted to poach Arthur from himself, and wanted to cultivate him into the strongest wizard.
….
Dumbledore was a little sympathetic to Grindelwald. His best friend and foe will never understand Arthur's heart.
"Thank you that night. If it weren't for your help. Getler and I may be buried forever under the ruins of Hogwarts Castle."
Collecting the smile on his face, Dumbledore cautiously thanked Arthur.
Originally, Arthur was supposed to be found the next day to thank him. However, Hogwarts was invaded by unknown monsters, causing panic among wizards.
In order to appease the parents of the students and cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's investigation, Dumbledore has not slept much in the past few days.
After the turmoil caused by this incident was perfectly resolved, as soon as Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, he immediately informed Filch and asked him to call Arthur to his office.
"Huh? Headmaster Dumbledore. What are you talking about? That kind of powerful monster, the professors can't fight. How can I help you?"
Arthur showed a surprised expression, pretended to be innocent, and hurriedly denied it.
"No need to hide it anymore. I'm a hundred-year-old wizard, and I know everything about the magic in this world."
"And the monster that will inhabit Harry that night, the power to expel it. Full of divine attributes. This type of magic was only used by the clergy of the ancient Holy See."
"It's a pity that the Holy See fell six hundred years ago, and this type of magic hasn't been seen since."
Dumbledore stroked his beard slowly, looking at Arthur meaningfully.
"Of course, it's not because of that that that that I think that the magic that drove out the octopus monster was unleashed by you."
"What's that?"
Arthur looked at Dumbledore's expression, knowing that no matter how much he defended, he would not be able to dispel Dumbledore's thoughts. Now all he wanted to know was how Dumbledore was sure that he had helped him.
He was in Hagrid's suitcase, and no one was there. Without the ironclad evidence of the real hammer, Dumbledore could not have thought of him just because of some divine attribute of magic and the Holy See.
"You don't even know what kind of magic you're using, do you?"
Dumbledore looked at Arthur's curious gaze, his eyes lit up, and he realized that the phantasm of Sister St. Mary that appeared that night was probably not even seen by Arthur himself.
"St. Mary's... You have summoned Sister St. Mary. Her appearance instantly made the octopus monster defenseless."
"Oh, Merlin's beard!"
When Arthur heard this, he covered his forehead with his hand in frustration.
Sister St. Mary's is the founder of the former St. Mary's Abbey and the current St. Mary's Orphanage, and her sculptures and portraits are hung all over St. Mary's Orphanage.
Dumbledore had visited St. Mary's Orphanage, and it was quite normal for him to recognize St. Mary's as a nun.
In the entire Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Arthur is the only one from St. Mary's Orphanage. Plus he was a wizarding boy with mysterious abilities in Dumbledore's mind.
If it didn't come to mind that Arthur was the one who unleashed the magic, then Dumbledore was the real thing.
When I think of my own magic, it's so iconic. Arthur was speechless.
The most infuriating thing is that the mercy of this merciful saint is still in the cooldown. Arthur himself had never seen the magic in its entirety.
"That magic is very powerful. You should have paid a lot of price, right? Do you need compensation?"
The more power there is, the more price it pays.
The octopus monster, which he and Grindelwald couldn't fight together, was easily expelled by Arthur's magic. Then Arthur must have paid a price that he could not even imagine.
Dumbledore sighed in his heart, Arthur was still very young, and he didn't want Arthur to overuse his abilities.
"What does it cost..."
Dumbledore's question made Arthur a little difficult.
This time, instead of consuming money, he gained a very powerful spell.
