Chapter 97: Passionate Fudge, Andros’ Secret (Please Give Me Flowers And Monthly Tickets)
"Hahaha, dear Albus, happy new year."
Stepping out of the fireplace, the Minister of Magic walked up to Dumbledore and hugged him warmly like a close friend.
Wayne took this opportunity to look at it quietly.
I found that the Minister of Magic is quite similar to his Uncle Jim Harker, exuding a strong politician atmosphere.
But in terms of appearance alone, Huck is kinder.
I don't know why, but Wayne wants to laugh every time he sees Huck, especially when he is serious when being interviewed.
Dumbledore was also very considerate to Fudge. The two had a cordial conversation, and then Fudge saw Wayne and walked up to him in a very friendly manner.
"You are Wayne, just call me Uncle Fudge."
"Sir Appleby also asked me to take more care of you. If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me."
He looked enthusiastic, as if Wayne was some kind of close junior to him.
Logically speaking, the magic world and the wizarding world are inseparable, and there is a clear distinction between them.
Fudge didn't have to be so enthusiastic.
But with the development of the times, the exchanges between magic and the Muggle government have gradually increased.
During the Blake case ten years ago, both parties jointly issued a wanted order.
When Sirius escapes in the future, Fudge will still cooperate with the Muggle government.
There are also some settings related to confidentiality laws that require the cooperation of the Muggle government.
Wayne's uncle was the minister's secretary, no, now he's the prime minister's secretary.
Fudge's enthusiasm is not unfounded.
Naturally, Wayne would not put on a cold face and act like a junior.
He knew very well what kind of person Fudge was, and he had been a coward when it came to Voldemort until the very end.
But during the recent period, Fudge believed that Dumbledore would not pose a threat to his ministerial throne, and the two parties were still in the honeymoon period.
Wayne was also useful in his place, and he happened to be a prostitute for nothing for a period of time. When conflicts of interest occurred repeatedly, it was not too late to fall out.
So the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious.
Lao Deng introduced Fudge to the general story of the matter and also showed him letters from two magic schools.
Fudge agreed very readily: "No problem, the first-level medal is impossible, but the third-level Merlin Order can definitely be applied for. I will see if I can apply for the second-level medal for Wayne."
This is a sign to Wayne that he will also contribute and sell well in advance.
The matter settled, Fudge stood up and put on his hat again.
"Sorry Albus, Mr. Malfoy invited me to a pure-blood family dinner and I have to go,"
"Go to your business Cornelius." Dumbledore said goodbye with a smile.
Wayne and Dumbledore were left in the room again. Wayne rubbed his cheeks. His face almost stopped laughing just now.
"Professor, if there is nothing else, I will remember it."
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Lawrence." Dumbledore stopped him, and then said to himself:
"After all, the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest are the property of the school. If too many of them suddenly disappear, it will cause trouble to me."
Wayne laughed dryly, "Don't worry, I guarantee you won't notice."
After saying that, he ran away quickly.
Dumbledore chuckled.
If there was a college representing the Foxes in the school, he felt Wayne would be a better fit there.
On the way back to the Hufflepuff lounge, Wayne happened to bump into the twins coming up from downstairs.
"Hey, Wayne." The twins stopped him one on the left and the other on the right, haha.
"What did the principal ask you for just now?"
"It's nothing." Wayne said calmly, "It's just that the principal thought I was talented and decided to apply for a Merlin Order for me."
Fred made a vomiting face.
"We haven't seen each other for a holiday, how come you have become as shameless as Ronald."
Hearing this metaphor, Wayne's eyelids jumped: "So your brother is really good?"
"It's indeed not good." George nodded seriously: "But it's more appropriate, isn't it?"
"Tell the truth, have you caused any trouble again?"
When it comes to pranks, Gemini thinks that they are not inferior to others, but when it comes to making big noises, they feel ashamed.
In just a few months, Wayne almost drove away a professor and created the largest conflict between the two houses in history.
Neither of them dared to think about it.
"I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it." Wayne spread his hands helplessly.
"Come on." Fred sneered: "If you really get the Order of Merlin, George and I will turn into giant monkeys and take classes all day."
"Oh? So serious?" Wayne raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them: "Okay, if I don't get the medal, I'll give you three hundred galleons."
"Wait!" George quickly stopped his brother.
"What Fred means is within this semester, not the rest of the year.
"That's right."
With Wayne's talent, it won't be difficult to obtain a Merlin Medal in the future, so a time limit must be added.
"No problem, it's settled." Wayne agreed.
The application process for the Order of Merlin usually takes two or three months to complete, and there is still half a year before the end of this semester.
He wins for sure.
Seeing how confident Wayne was, the twins started to lie again.
But thinking about the difficulty of obtaining the Merlin Medal and the fact that Wayne secretly watched their little moves, he immediately felt that this was a scam and agreed.
The two sides passed by each other and both smiled proudly.
Back in the lounge, it wasn't long before it was bedtime.
Wayne is too lazy to go out, so he should be more honest on the first day of school.
Thinking of the insomnia his two roommates had mentioned before, before going to bed, he carefully applied a hypnotic spell to each of them.
It has to be said that wizards are also resistant.
Compared with when school started, his magic power for using hypnotic spells was much greater.
"ah!"
Early the next morning, two screams came from Wayne's dormitory.
Toby wailed, "Didn't I set the alarm clock? Why did I still sleep until I woke up naturally? It's my homework!"
Norman was about to cry: "Is the school bed really so good?"
They both planned to get up at four o'clock to catch up on their homework, but it was already dawn when they woke up.
Wayne changed his clothes calmly: "Isn't there history of magic in the morning? You still have time.
"Yes, yes." Toby said hurriedly: "Wayne, sell me a manuscript quill quickly. Toby, go and see if Bones has written about Transfiguration."
The two of them started busy in a panic. It was not until the History of Magic class that they lay down on the table and fell asleep, washing papers and turning over the papers with quills.
Today Cuthbert Binns teaches about Mycenaean culture in the ancient Greek period. Most myths and epics come from this time period.
Half of the class was struggling to catch up on their homework, and the other half was drowsy, but Wayne listened with great interest.
He feels that he has a connection with ancient Greece.
The first template card is Andros from ancient Greece. Although he was a figure from the ancient Greek city-state period, he was nearly a thousand years later than the Mycenaean culture.
There is also the Shield of Aequus, which is also the legendary symbol of Athena.
It was also rare for Hermione to see Wayne listening so carefully in the History of Magic class. She blinked curiously and listened extra carefully with a spirit of refusing to admit defeat. She filled two parchments with notes.
After class, Wayne asked Hermione to go first, while he stopped Cuthbert Binns who was about to leave through the wall.
"Is something wrong? Mr. Sean."
Wayne's mouth twitched.
Cuthbert Binns is notoriously bad at remembering things other than history, and it's normal for him to not be able to remember his own name.
Without correcting his mistake, Wayne got right to the point.
"Professor, do you know anything about the ancient Greek wizard 'The Invincible Andros'?"
Cuthbert Binns frowned: "Mr. Sean, this is not a first-grade course, but a fifth-grade course..."
"Professor." Wayne interrupted him, Tian Fen looked at Baosi sincerely: "You won't refuse to learn Ravenclaw, right?"
"As a Ravenclaw, the knowledge is right in front of me, but you make it four or five years before I can access it. This is so painful."
The eyelids of the little wizards who had not yet gone out were twitching wildly.
Wayne, could you please change your robe before you say this?
There’s also Hufflepuff’s emblem on it!
What surprised them was that Cuthbert Binns actually believed Wayne's lies, with a look of emotion on his face.
"Since you are so thirsty for knowledge... well then."
Cuthbert Binns still said in a boring tone:
"The Invincible Andros was a powerful wizard from the classical Greek period. He was most famous for his giant-sized patron saint and his powerful wandless spellcasting ability.
"Few wizards at the same time could accept one of his spells, so he was dubbed the Invincible.
"Professor, I understand everything you said." Wayne frowned: "The era you lived in was closer to the classical Greek period, isn't there more specific information?"
"For example, what is so special about his patron saint? Is it just big?"
This is what puzzles Wayne the most. He has already mastered the Patronus, and has even reached the master level.
But apart from being bigger, thicker, and harder than other people's patron saints, it doesn't have any other special abilities.
Every time Wayne practices, he always feels like there is something unfinished. He wants to know more about Andros and see if he can find a breakthrough.
"This..." Cuthbert Binns was a little embarrassed, seeming to be searching his memory.
Just when Wayne thought he was going to fall asleep, Cuthbert Binns finally spoke slowly.
"There are indeed some other rumors, but these histories are recorded on pottery shards and are not supported by other evidence."
"According to the "Duel Records of the City-State of Thebes", Andros directly used his patronus to vaporize his dark wizard opponent in a duel. This has never happened before.
"I think it is most likely an exaggeration, because it does not conform to the magical characteristics of the patron saint..."
Cuthbert Binns started talking at length again, but Wayne couldn't listen anymore.
Vaporized Dark Wizard
He felt he had found the key point.
"Are you interested in Andros?"
After lunch, Hermione came with Wayne and asked.
"That's right. After all, not everyone can be worthy of the title of Invincible." Wayne confused, "How are you doing over there? Have you found any news about Nicolas Flamel?"
Hermione lowered her head in frustration, "I've looked through modern history, and this person's famous official has never appeared at all."
After saying that, she was so angry again that her little face became round with anger: "Harry and Ronald only focused on playing during this holiday and completely forgot about this matter!"
"You can leave it alone." Wayne helped her straighten her messy hair: "Wouldn't it be better to put your curiosity somewhere useful?"
"Give me another month."
Hermione said firmly: "If there are no more clues within a month, I won't care.
"Whatever." Wayne
Helpless, this stubborn character is really a qualified Gryffindor.
"By the way, when can I go into your box and take a look?" Hermione changed the subject and asked curiously.
"After class in the afternoon."
Wayne thought for a moment, "I'm going to plant the biting cabbage in the box after class.
"good."
In this way, after the last class of the afternoon, Wayne took Hermione and Qiu Xian to the vegetable patch at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
Nowadays, the biting cabbage is basically mature, and its teeth have become extremely sharp. Hagrid is afraid of them running around, so he specially built a fence around it and covered it with a potion that the biting cabbage hates.
Otherwise, these wooden fences will not be able to stop these guys' iron teeth and copper teeth.
Wayne placed the box on the ground and opened it. He jumped in first and stretched out his hand.
"come in."
With only half of the boy's body exposed, Qiu chewed her teeth and stretched out her hand to hold Wayne's hand.
Being pulled by him like this.
Qiu only felt that her feet were empty, and when she regained sight, she felt that she was stepping on the steps.
After Qiu landed safely, Wayne brought Hermione in again, and finally cast a warning spell before closing the box.
The two girls looked at the house 433 curiously.
This place is very different from when Newt first gave it to Wayne. The room is already filled with furniture, and one bedroom is used as a temporary storage room with various items in it.
Props, crucibles, and finished potions.
"so big..."
Autumn exclaimed.
Where is this?
With a smile on his face, Wayne took the hands of the two little witches and rushed out of the front door of the house.
My vision suddenly became clear.
Blue sky, clear lake, not too dense woods.
Hermione and Cho felt hot all over.
Because they wear too much.
You must know that it is minus ten degrees outside, but inside the box, it is indeed as warm as spring.
Wayne said considerately, "Take off your clothes quickly."
Qiu rolled her eyes, feeling that there was something in this guy's words, but she also took off her robe and down jacket, as did Hermione.
As soon as Wayne waved his hand, their clothes flew back to the cabin and hung up on their own.
"唳!"
The clear chirping of birds came from a hill, and soon the sky became gloomier, with a faint arc of electricity appearing.
A small thunderbird with a wingspan of less than five meters flew over and landed in front of Wei Sheng under the expectant eyes of Hermione and Qiu.
The little Thunderbird nuzzled Wayne intimately, and fierce electric arcs were generated between the two of them.
"You haven't learned to control your own electricity yet, Mia." Wayne quickly added a shield for himself.
The current that Thunderbird unconsciously leaked was not very powerful, but it was no problem to electrocute him into an afro.
As if realizing that he was in trouble, Thunderbird carefully let go of Wayne, and then looked at him innocently with his big shining Kazlan eyes.
"Who did you learn this trick from?" Looking at Mia, who was pretending to be pitiful, Wayne couldn't help but laugh or cry.
The red electric arc danced on his fingertips. Mia immediately stared at it, and after getting Wayne's permission, she swallowed it in one gulp.
"唳!"
"No, I can only eat so much today."
He also accidentally discovered that the thunder he created using his talent seemed to be of great help to the Thunderbirds.
But Wayne was afraid of eating too much, so he limited it every day.
After Mia finished eating, Wayne asked Qiu and Hermione to come over, but seeing the lightning flashing from time to time, the two women still didn't dare to touch it.
But just seeing it was enough to excite them.
Apart from anything else, how many people in Hogwarts have actually seen Thunderbirds?
"Let's go pick up Hestia and Diana tonight. It's much safer here than in the Forbidden Forest."
Hermione suggested while looking at the boy who was feeding beef to the ptarmigan.
"It's still too boring here." Wayne shook his head: "I'll take them away when I leave school."
Hermione thought the same thing, "Then just go and see them."
"I'm afraid I can't do it tonight, let's try another day."
"What are you going to do?" Qiu asked curiously.
"Go to the Forbidden Forest to stock up."
Dumbledore's hints were so obvious, how could Wayne not take action?
I'm going to catch some cuties tonight. .
