In the dormitory, Wayne was on a video call with Nagini.
After not seeing each other for a while, Snake Girl looks much better again. You can feel her mature style through the pages of the book.
Although she knew that Wayne didn’t care, Nagini still reported the situation in the store conscientiously.
“Due to the resumption of school, sales of prank props have been poor recently, but sales of household products and quill pen series are pretty good.”
“With the help of Mrs. Greengrass and Mr. Crouch, I have received orders from the Ministry of Magic for large quantities of shorthand quills every month.”
Having said this, Nagini smiled:”It’s really much easier to do business after someone helps me.
Wayne also smiled and nodded:”I understand deeply.””.
There are people in the court who are good at doing things. Crouch and Mrs. Greengrass are both powerful figures in the Ministry of Magic. A small matter such as purchasing quills can turn Nagini into a designated supplier with a little influence.
With the same quality and price, why would people buy yours?
He is not a worldly person.
However, when it comes to Aurors, things are not that simple.
Samples of protective props have been sent to the Auror office a long time ago, but there has been no reply.
Not to mention Nagini, even Wayne has not figured out which link caused the problem. You still have to ask Crouch to find out.
After talking about work matters, the two chatted about their daily life.
Nagini now lives in Vern’s house and takes the Muggle bus to work in Diagon Alley every day. At night, because the store closes too late, she directly disapparates home.
When talking about trivial matters, Nagini’s expression was full of happiness. Such an ordinary life was something she had only dreamed about before.
“Is it too hard for you to do this alone? Wayne’s focus was different:”How about I get a house elf to help you?””
“Please do not. Nagini said quickly:”Don’t let anyone else come in our home.””
“Not even house elves”
“Listen to you.”
Wayne also laughed…..
In a blink of an eye, it’s Saturday.
Just yesterday, Wayne calmed down the other girls and moved Harry and Malfoy’s classes to Sunday, completely freeing up Saturday.
Just because today is Hermione’s birthday.
Actually it should be yesterday, but they had to go to class yesterday, so the two of them planned to spend today.
In total, although Hermione and Qiu are in one grade apart, their birthdays are actually only more than a month apart.
The division standard of Hogwarts is based on September, so even if your birthday is September 1st, you must enroll with the students of the following year.
Every time Hermione talked about this with Wayne, she would tease him that if she had been born twenty days earlier, Wayne would now call her senior.
Of course, Wayne would not make her proud, and would often give her some verbal education.
Early this morning, he came to Suitcase World and started setting up the venue.
He hadn’t been busy for long before he sensed Crouch activating the mark.
Wayne frowned but still responded.
Crouch House.
White smoke emerged again, gathering into a human shape
“Something’s wrong? asked Wayne
“Yes, and there are several of them.”Even at home, Crouch looked very serious.
“Then hurry up, I’m busy too”
“Is this really the legendary Holy Grail?”Crouch pointed to the cup in front of him.
“That’s right.”Wayne gave an ambiguous answer.
“What is calculation? The serious Crouch was not satisfied with the answer.
“The prototype is indeed the Holy Grail in the legend of Christ, but it is different from what you understand. It is not the same one.
Crouch frowned:”Why did you take out such a precious treasure?””
“Don’t tell me you didn’t understand the magic text above. Wayne chuckled,”Isn’t the reason written clearly above?””
“My knowledge has not been returned to the teacher. Crouch raised his head slightly:”It’s precisely because I saw it clearly that I was confused.””
“The Holy Grail belongs to the ultimate winner”
“Yes, but there is only one winner in this game, and that is me. Wayne explained patiently:”When the ceremony is completed, I will get the real benefits. What is left is just an empty cup. Anyone who wants it can take it.””
“What are the benefits?”Crouch was even more curious.
“a wish. Wayne said quietly.”No matter what your wish is, as long as it is within a certain limit, the Holy Grail will come true for you.””
Crouch’s breathing suddenly became rapid, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the white smoke.
As if he knew what he was thinking, Wayne, who was far away in Hogwarts, had a wicked smile on his lips:
“Perhaps, even resurrection can be achieved?”
“Give me your wish!”Crouch slapped the table and stood up, beads of sweat leaking out from his forehead.
“As long as you are willing to give me this opportunity, no matter what you want, I will give it to you”
“With thousands of years of treasure and connections accumulated by the Crouch family, I can help you ascend to the throne of Minister of Magic and become the youngest Minister of Magic, as long as you give me your wish!”
While speaking, Crouch even held the wand.
“Um?”
With a bang, the smoke figure exploded, turning into chains and rushing towards Crouch.
Crouch instinctively wanted to resist, but after breaking a few chains, more people surrounded him. wrapped around his limbs
“Owner!”
The house elf Twinkle heard the noise here and ran over quickly, but was blown away by a cloud of smoke.
“Wake up, Mr. Crouch.”
The remaining smoke turned into a human face, floating in front of Crouch.
Facing Crouch’s madness, Wayne didn’t feel much.
He can guarantee that as long as Snape behaves well after knowing the news, It would be even more exaggerated, and it would not be a problem to let him be his pallu for life.
The same is true for Dumbledore.
With the opportunity to resurrect Ariana, Dumbledore will never give up.
Think about his behavior after discovering the Resurrection Stone You know, after being wise all his life, he finally fell in front of his family and was plotted by Voldemort.
If Wayne didn’t give it, he might be robbed. If it goes too far, Wayne might even face the devil of black and white. Mixed doubles?
“You are a Ravenclaw, don’t be as reckless as a lion. Frankly speaking, do you qualify for this opportunity with the conditions you just mentioned?”
With Wayne’s help, Crouch has forced himself to calm down.
Yeah….Why would it be his turn to be resurrected from the dead?
The Minister of Magic, Wayne also said before, he has no interest in wealth. The Greengrass family is richer than the Crouch family.
His connections?
Even without the Holy Grail, he still had to obediently help Wayne.
Are there many people in the wizarding world who have regrets?
He has no more capital
“You shouldn’t have told me!”Crouch gritted his teeth.
He had clearly seen hope, even right in front of his eyes, but it was like a mirror in the water, out of reach.
It would be better to let him be a fool!
“I am an honest Hufflepuff. Since you asked the reason, of course I have to tell you.”
Wayne said it very sincerely, but Crouch was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
“I thank you!”
“You’re welcome, we are in the same group after all. Crouch closed his eyes,”Since we are a group of people, can you put me down?””
His whole body was bound by chains and suspended in mid-air.
Bang~!
The smoke shattered and reassembled into human form, and Crouch also fell down.
He looked at the figure in front of him pleadingly:”Mr. Lawrence, the Holy Grail is really a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Sexual objects?”
“Sorry, I also want to reuse it. After all, it is more environmentally friendly, but it is a pity….This is a disposable item. Wayne shook his head regretfully:”After using it, it’s just a metal cup, nothing special.””
“but…Now that I can find one Holy Grail, who can guarantee that I won’t find a second one?”
Like a drowning man finding a life-saving straw, the light returned to Crouch’s eyes.
“Then you…”
“I said, look at the value. Wayne said calmly:”As long as the role and ability you have shown are worthy of me giving you a wish, then why not?””
“Yes, sir.”Crouch lowered his arrogant head.
He might have wanted to resist before, but now…He just hoped that Wayne would find the second Holy Grail, the sooner the better.
If his wife could really be resurrected, he would be willing to hand over everything
“Okay, if there is anything else, let’s talk about it quickly.”Wayne looked at the time. He also wanted to celebrate Hermione’s birthday. He didn’t have time to spend time with an old man.
“The expansion of the Triwizard Tournament ran into quite a bit of trouble. After a few moments
, Crouch was back to normal, at least on the surface.
“Fudge wasn’t too interested. The Ministry of Magic didn’t have enough money to organize a student competition.”
“What he cares more about is the World Cup. As long as the World Cup is successful, his reputation will also rise accordingly. There is no need to bother with similar projects.”
“Fudge? Wayne frowned:”What if someone else pays?””
“There’s no way he wouldn’t want the political achievements that were given away for free, right?”
“The Greengrass family alone is not enough. Crouch shook his head slowly:”That would make Fudge even more suspicious.””
“He has a suspicious temperament and would suspect that Mrs. Greengrass has other motives.”
“What about other countries? Wayne asked:”I can ask several other schools to contribute some money to make up the difference.””
“this…”Crouch hesitated for a moment:”It should be okay.”
You can gain fame without spending money, and Fudge will definitely not refuse.
“I will contact a few other schools as you move forward”
“yes.”
Ven calculated. Over at Ilvermorny, Ravzi has always been very interested in the Triwizard Tournament. As long as he can participate, he will definitely agree to spend some money. The same is true for the Magic Office. The one who led the team last time The professor almost knelt in front of Madame Maxime.
Wagado…
Forget it, this school is a bit poor
· ·····Asking for flowers····· ········
As for Kosdoris, Wayne really has nothing to do with her.
But it’s almost enough if two colleges are willing to contribute.
“After solving Fudge, the last difficulty remains. Crouch continued,”Dumbledore, his attitude is crucial.””
“I met him two days ago and mentioned it. Although he didn’t say it explicitly, I could tell that he was opposed to it.”
“Have you seen Dumbledore? Where is he?”Wayne said in surprise.
It’s been almost half a month since Lao Deng disappeared. How did he meet him?
“Right at the Ministry of Magic.”He’s here to get permission to visit criminals in Azkaban,” Crouch said.”
“Azkaban…”Wayne thought for a moment and roughly understood what Dumbledore had found. He nodded:”You can give the Holy Grail directly to the principal. I think he will be interested.””
“I see.”Crouch replied in a deep voice.
“Okay, do your best, I won’t treat you badly. Let’s go cook first.”After saying that, Wayne cut off the contact.
The smoke dissipated, and Crouch stood there blankly.
Wayne was so anxious that he thought there was really something important.
But it turned out that he was going to cook?……..
In the kitchen, Wayne was preparing side dishes, and Hermione came too.
The little witch propped her chin in the restaurant and watched him busy, smiling unconsciously.
It was her birthday today, and Wayne said that he would celebrate with a table of delicious food in person. In order to prevent him from cheating with Gardevoir, she came over early to be the ‘supervisor’.
Judging from the boy’s methodical appearance, at least he didn’t have to worry about eating any dark food.
This was also Wayne’s birthday gift to Hermione.
In fact, he could have given something more expensive as a gift, but after thinking about it, he still didn’t do that.
………… 0
It’s actually quite tiring to prepare gifts every year and festival. If the gift this time is very expensive, it would be better not to mention it next time, at least it should be of the same grade, right?
Once or twice is okay, but after more, there are so many good things in the world as gifts.
So Wayne simply didn’t give anything as a gift. From now on, everyone is equal. He will spend the whole day with anyone whose birthday it is, and he can also express his feelings by cooking with his own hands.
It has been busy for a while and all the dishes are ready.
Thousand-layer pasta, fish and chips, roast chicken, vegetable salad, cream of mushroom soup, and the most time-consuming birthday cake.
There was a Q-version cartoon character on the cake. Hermione recognized it at a glance and pouted.
“You made me so cute, I don’t want to eat it”
“What’s there? Wayne grinned, raised the knife in his hand, and the Q version of Hermione was immediately split into two.
Hermione:”…….”
“Ah ah ah ah ah! It’s my birthday and you still want to make me angry!”
Hermione pounced on her with all her teeth and claws. Wayne dodged away, his hands covered with cream, and pinched Hermione’s face.
Now it was even more out of control, and a good piece of birthday cake became the two of them. Weapons, smearing each other’s faces.
It wasn’t until she ran out of energy that Hermione raised her hands to surrender, but Wayne still didn’t let her go, and refused to give up until he painted her into a little cat.
Admiring his masterpiece, Wayne nodded with satisfaction:”It’s even cuter this way.”
“Let’s eat!”
The little witch angrily kicked Wayne’s calf and ran to the kitchen to clean it up before coming out.
She also put on a beautiful make-up with the help of Lavender Brown today, but now it was all ruined by Wayne.
After eating a piece of lasagna, Hermione looked surprised.
“Even more delicious than expected”
“Of course, I made it strictly according to the recipe given by Gardevoir.”Wayne also tasted a piece.
The taste was still a little worse than that made by Gardevoir, but compared with the house elves in the school, it was already much better.
To match the atmosphere, Wayne also prepared a bottle of wine.
Originally, she wanted Hermione to drink less, as long as she meant it.
But the law that underage people could not drink was completely ignored by the excited little witch, who kept asking Wayne to pour more for her, filling the glass half way. En said nothing.
During the meal, Hermione’s pretty face was already red and hot, her eyes became blurred, and she said in a coquettish tone:
“Wayne, it’s my birthday, did you prepare a meal for me?”
“of course not.”Wein stopped the girl’s slender waist and flew out of the wooden house and onto the lawn.
He pulled out his wand, pointed it at the sky, and sprayed out powerful magic.
In an instant, the stars moved, and the clear sky dimmed, and in the blink of an eye it became It was dark night.
Countless stars twinkled in the sky.
Rose-shaped candles suddenly appeared on the ground, forming a large heart shape surrounding the two of them. The melodious singing echoed in the ears, and the Phoenix King cut through the sky, scattering colorful lights..
Wayne stretched out his hand and said softly:
“beautiful���Madam, I wonder if I would be honored to dance with you?”
Hermione’s eyes sparkled,”Of course.”
At the same time, the outside world.
Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students have gone crazy looking for the two.
