Since he has broken the agreement, he will have to bear the consequences, and this is not a child's house, Locke feels that the patriarch of the Delacour family is really going back more and more.

"If that's all you're going to talk about, please go back, I'll only talk to the head of the Delacour family about it, and you don't need to get involved."

After all, the other party is also a beauty, and her personality is also decent, and Locke did not speak ill of her, but his tone was a little tougher and let the other party leave.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Locke, I just wanted to thank you, but could you please spare our family once this time......

"Lady Delacour!" Locke's tone became a little harsh: "I won't talk to you about this matter until you become the patriarch of the Dracul family, so now you better go back to the dormitory first, it's curfew time now." ”

Locke said and made a gesture of please, and drove the aggrieved Fleur out of the office, although it was very ungraceful to treat a beautiful woman like this, but Locke did not intend to let go of the Delacour family easily just by asking for permission from the other party.

Opening the door and kicking Fleur out of the office, he found a black cat standing at the door of his room, unaware of the pet that the student had brought to school.

Most of the students at Hogwarts have brought their favorite pets to school, the most of them are owls, and the frequency of cats is quite high, Locke squatted down to observe, and found that the black cat did not seem to be afraid of people, and saw him approaching, and meowed softly.

"Sure enough, it's a smart cat." Locke laughed and lifted the black cat up, then realized that it was a female cat, only the action seemed to provoke it, causing a violent struggle.

Locke put it down casually and returned to the office, most of the pets brought by Hogwarts students have the blood of magical beasts, and their spirituality is still very high, and it is estimated that they will find their owners by themselves.

It's just that unexpectedly, Locke walked into the office, and the black cat also walked in, jumped down the chair to the desk, and looked at Locke with a pair of eyes.

"How do you feel that something is wrong with this pet cat." Locke frowned slightly, but he didn't immediately drive the cat out, just said, "You can stay here for a while, but don't run around and bark, and don't defecate in the open." ”

Saying this, Locke still conjured up a soft cushion, took out some small dried fish and put them in front of the other party, but it seemed to be full, and these small dried fish had limited attraction to it.

Then Locke seemed to stop caring about the cat, picked up the book and read it, and actually observed the other party's situation distractedly, only to find that the cat seemed to be asleep on the cushion.

"Am I too sensitive?" Seeing the cat's behavior, Locke thought to himself, looked at the time again, cast a few surveillance spells, cleaned up the things in the office, and went to sleep in a break room separated from the office.

The next morning, the black cat, who was still dreaming, was suddenly picked up by Locke and walked out of the office.

"I'm going out, go back to your master yourself." With that, Locke placed the other party on the floor in front of the office door, and left.

As a result, Locke discovers that the black cat may have felt comfortable in the office and will come here for the next few nights, as if it were his nest.

Locke was suspicious, but he didn't drive the other party away, anyway, there was nothing special in the office, it was just some magic books he usually read, and he wouldn't stay in the office for really precious and rare books, and if he didn't read them, he would directly collect them in the dimensional space.

Now leave this black cat here and see if there's really anyone behind it.

"Ms. Delacour, I have made it very clear before, there is really no need for you to come again, it is better to let the head of your family come."

That night, Locke was in the office and saw Fleur again.

In fact, Fleur was also very embarrassed at this time, when Locke saved her, she was full of gratitude, and she wanted to find a chance to thank her, but she didn't expect to suddenly receive a summons from the family, asking him if he knew Mr. Locke.

By the way, she told Locke about saving herself, but she didn't expect her father to react more than she did, and asked her to come to the door to express her gratitude.

Fleur is smart when she is young, otherwise she would not be able to become a triwizard player, and when she noticed that something was wrong, she began to ask, but her father was only perfunctory and refused to tell the real reason.

It wasn't until she asked her mother privately that she learned that the family was in danger of bankruptcy, and that if Mr. Locke forgave him, the liquidated damages for that single business could tear the Delacour family apart.

After hesitating for a long time, Fleur finally came to the door, but Locke seemed to be angry, which made him even more flustered, if he really couldn't get Locke's forgiveness, the Delacour family was really lucky.

Fortunately, although Locke's face was not good-looking this time, she still let her into the office, and she cheered herself up in her heart and said, "Mr. Locke, I hope you can spare the Delacour family......"

"Since the contract has been signed, it needs to be observed, and as far as I know, it is not true that the Delacour family did not have the goods to hand over to me at the beginning, but only temporarily handed over the goods prepared for me to others."

Locke said slowly: "Maybe the Delacour family thought that I was just a small person, and if I was bullied, I would be bullied, it was not a big deal, and I didn't dare to ask you for liquidated damages."

It wasn't until I destroyed Voldemort that I hurriedly asked for mercy, and let you talk to a little girl, do you think your request is worth 600,000 gold Galleons? ”

"Six hundred thousand!" Fleur couldn't help but cover her mouth, she just knew that the amount of liquidated damages was expensive, and it could cause the family to encounter a crisis, but she didn't expect this amount to be so big.

"And Ms. Delacour." Locke said slowly: "If you break the contract and don't get the punishment you deserve, then do you think that someone will think I am a bully and do the same thing?" Then do I want to do my business? ”

The assets of the Delacour family may be much more than that, but assets are only assets, and liquidated damages require cash.

And at this time, those who know the predicament of the Dracule family will definitely try their best to lower the price, and they may not even be able to sell it at half the price at that time, so in desperation, the Dracule family can only find a way to make Locke raise his noble hand.

And after knowing about Fleur, Locke guessed that those people in the Delacour family still had some special intentions, but the girl in front of him didn't seem to know that she had been betrayed by the family.

Thinking of this, Locke felt a little pity, and his tone softened slightly: "Lady Delacul, this matter is no longer for you to meddle in, so you should cherish the last time you were a guest at Hogwarts." ”
