Chapter 325 Wayne: As A Hufflepuff, It’S Normal To Have More Friends, Right?
After the three Professors McGonagall left, Wayne stayed behind to act with the Geminis and Cedric.
While selling things, they were also chatting about the O.W.L.s results they had just received not long ago.
"It's a good thing mom didn't come, otherwise with Mr. Digory's frequency of raising the results once a minute, our butts would have exploded when we got back."
Cedric passed all ten elective subjects and received a certificate, including six "0"s, while Gemini only passed six songs and had two "0"s.
When they were able to pass Jasmine's test, it was because they got an 'O' in both Curses and Potions that they didn't get beaten.
"I can't control him." Cedric smiled bitterly. A father who loves to show off his son is actually quite troubled.
"What classes are you going to take this year?" Wayne asked.
"Dad wants me to become an Auror." Cedric still said with a gloomy face: "So I have to choose from spells, potions, herbs and transformation. In addition, I am also very interested in protecting magical animals, so these six should be the ones to choose from. Door bar.”
Fred frowned: "Cedric, what you want to do in the future is your own business. You can't just listen to your father, right?"
In the Weasley family, although Mrs. Weasley is very concerned about the semester grades of her children, she doesn't actually interfere much with their career choices after graduation.
Just like Charlie and Bill, both of them are student council presidents and have excellent grades. Logically speaking, it would not be a problem to enter the popular departments of the Ministry of Magic. However, one of them became a spell finder and the other simply went to raise dragons.
Compared with the work in the Ministry of Magic, it is actually not very good.
Wayne glanced sideways at Gemini: "Then have you told her about your plans to open a store in the future?"
George shrank his neck: "We are not stupid. Now that we have said it, she can talk about it for several years until we graduate. We will talk about it after graduation. If she can't bear it, she will talk about us for a summer vacation."
"That's great." Cedric said enviously: "It would be great if I also had a few brothers and sisters, so that I could do what I want to do."
"Then what do you want to do?" Wayne was a little curious. He had known Xiaosai for so long, but he had never heard him talk about his future career plans.
All of a sudden, Cedric became very excited and told his dream.
"I want to be a Quidditch player for a few years, and then join the Accidents and Disasters Department of the Ministry of Magic 21, preferably the team that reverses accidental magical incidents."
George asked curiously: "Why do you want to go to this department? I heard my father say that this department is the most tiring one. "Sometimes I am called up to work overtime even when I am sleeping.
"Because it's fun!"
Cedric slapped his fist: "The Reversal Occasion Team can encounter many troubles caused by wizards, and there are all kinds of strange things, such as apparating and splitting, and using fake Floo powder to teleport to strange places."
"You can even see a toilet that can backfill. Don't you think it's fun?"
When he said this, George and Fred also found it quite interesting, and even shared a scandal about Charlie.
When he first took the Apparition exam, Charlie took it twice before passing.
The first time he deviated two kilometers from his destination and landed on the head of an old lady, almost scaring the old lady to death.
"How about you go to the reversal team with me?" Cedric's eyes lit up.
George and Fred shook their heads like rattles: "Forget it, we still prefer opening a shop to working at the Ministry of Magic."
"Okay." Xiaosai said disappointedly.
As it approached four o'clock, their items were almost sold out, and the remaining items were not worth spending any more. The four of them returned to the camp together.
Seeing them return safely, Mr. Weiss was completely relieved.
"Where did you go? If you come back later, Amos and I will go look for you."
"I just met a lot of classmates and professors, so we chatted for a while." George immediately found a suitable excuse.
This is not a lie. They did meet the professor and many classmates when they were having difficulty setting up a stall.
Mr. Diggory smiled and said: "Let me tell you, with Cedric here there won't be any problems.
"Let's go rest for a while." Fred pulled George and Wayne into the tent.
"Wayne, call Qiu and Hermione over and ask for the money." George said excitedly. Ginny's eyes also lit up when she heard the money.
"Hold on."
Wayne returned to his tent and brought the two women over, and Astoria followed him out of boredom.
George poured all of today's harvest on the dining table, which was full of Galleons and Nats. The eyes of Dawn, who was playing magic awakening with Harry, instantly went straight.
"You just went to rob?"
Fred looked at him with disdain: "Robbery is not as profitable as doing business, unless you are robbing Gringotts."
After saying that, he ignored this stupid brother and started "dividing the spoils"
In just one day, sales reached nearly eight hundred galleons, a figure that even surprised Wayne.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s normal.
First of all, today's price is two or three times more expensive than the normal price. After all, the finals only happen once every four years, so it is understandable that they are sold at a discount.
Then there is the advantage of numbers.
With Wayne's suggestion, several people started stocking up on supplies right after the summer vacation and were very well prepared.
George and Fred checked the accounts one last time and gave Hermione one hundred galleons and the other eight thousand galleons.
Among the products just now, the badges that loudly cheer for the team were made by Hermione, while Qiu made many banners and ribbons. The unit price of both of these items is relatively low, so the dividends are relatively small.
For the rest, since they spent three hundred Galleons in the morning, the Geminis and Cedric both took one hundred Galleons. The extra twenty Galleons were given to Ginny as a reward for her help as a lookout. They were very happy. The girl's face was as red as her hair.
Cedric took out another thirty galleons of pocket money directly from the bag and handed it all to Wayne.
"It's finally paid off now."
Wayne didn't want to accept it at first, but seeing Cedric's determination, he finally gave the money to Astoria, treating it as her pocket money.
It's not that Cedric doesn't need to pay back the money, brothers have to settle accounts clearly, and even the best friends have to pay attention to some things.
But he didn’t want Cedric to pay back with his own pocket money, because wouldn’t he have no money to spend with him?
In fact, Cedric had already saved enough money last semester, but ended up spending it all on games under Wayne's deception.
"Why didn't you call me for such a good thing?" Ronald almost felt red when he saw that Ginny had been given twenty galleons.
George looked at him with disgust: "Ginny can help us look after mom, what can you do?"
Ronald blurted out: "I can do it too!"
"You'd better forget it." Fred said contemptuously: "You can sleep twelve hours a day during the summer vacation. If you were asked to look out, we would have been caught long ago."
Ginny looked at him proudly.
Ronald opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything to refute.
Okay...he admitted that he wasted a bit of work
After a while, a deep and deep gong sound came from somewhere far away in the woods. Mr. Weasley lifted the curtain and shouted excitedly: "Children, the time has come."
Wayne and everyone came outside, and the wizards on the path had already gathered into a crowd, rushing to the competition venue along the path guided by thousands of red and green lanterns.
Sakura and the girls also walked out of the tent. Wayne looked at her appearance at this time and couldn't help but laugh.
Just when Sakura was still a little confused and didn't know why he was smiling, Tomoyo gently reached out and took off the note on her forehead. The girl immediately blushed with embarrassment.
"I just forgot about the post I made when I lost in a game."
"It's okay, you can win if you buy a few more card packs." Wayne didn't forget to make money at this time, Xiao Zhou encouraged.
Sakura covered her purse in fear.
The boy was like a devil. She had only been here a few days, and her wallet was already more than half empty.
Tomoyo watched the two people's actions and snickered. She actually spent more and bought many beautiful accessories, all of which had various magical functions and were expensive.
But it doesn't matter, Gringotts is universal worldwide. As long as Gringotts exists, Miss Tomoyo will not be short of money.
"We can go to the VIP aisle and have something to eat before we leave."
Mr. Weasley's suggestion was unanimously approved. You can't watch the game hungry. Everyone simply ate something before following the crowd under the leadership of a few adults.
Sirius suddenly regretted: "It would be great if Lupin came too. Such lively occasions are too rare."
"I can't help it. Who made the day so unlucky?" Wayne shrugged helplessly. Tonight happened to be the night of the full moon, so Lupin could only lie down at home alone.
Snapped!
Two figures, one large and one small, suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of them. Mr. Weasley was startled. After seeing who was coming clearly, he complained:
"Lovegood, why are you here so late? I thought you didn't plan to come.
"We found a light and shadow beast, but unfortunately we didn't catch it in the end." Mr. Lovegood said.
"What is that?" Harry was confused. He had never heard of such a magical creature.
"You'll get used to it from now on."
Ronald said nonchalantly: "Like Luna, he often says this kind of thing. He is also the editor-in-chief of The Quibbler, and the content on it is all crazy."
Mr. Lovegood didn't hear Ronald's comment, but Luna did. She glanced at Ronald, walked to Wayne and whispered: "I'm sorry.
Hermione looked at the two of them suspiciously: "Luna, why are you apologizing to Wayne?"
Luna tilted her little head blankly: "Because I'm late?"
Hermione always felt that something was wrong, but there were more and more people around, and everyone was squeezing in. It was not the time to talk.
After walking for twenty minutes, they came out from the other side of the woods and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Standing in the shadow of an oval stadium, Song could see ten parts of the magnificent golden wall surrounding it.
"It can accommodate 100,000 spectators." Mr. Weasley said with some pride: "Five hundred staff from the Ministry of Magic have been busy for this for a whole year."
Wayne couldn't help but nodded.
Wizards are pretty good at infrastructure construction. Five hundred people can complete such a large project, and it only takes a while.
No wonder real estate is not selling for the price it deserves.
Everyone and the large group split up and came to the entrance at the far end, "First class tickets!" After the witch checked, she said: "To the top box, go all the way upstairs. Arthur, you are so lucky.
"Thanks to Ludo." Mr. Weasley smiled, collected the tickets, and led the group up, finally reaching the top of the stairs, where there were three private rooms.
He looked at the ticket number and the box number: "The one in the middle is ours, and the one on the side is yours, Wayne."
"Dad, can I go to Wayne's box?" Ginny asked.
Although their box was in the middle and the location was better, she was the only girl in it, and many officials from the Ministry of Magic were coming soon.
"This..." Mr. Weasley hesitated
looked at Wayne.
"Come if you want, there are a lot of empty seats anyway, Luna should come and accompany Ginny too.
Ginny cheered, took Luna's arm, and followed Wayne and the others into the box next to them. There were more than twenty purple and gold-plated seats divided into rows.
Wayne waved his wand and moved the extra seats to the side, turning the seats into more comfortable sofas. Then he said to the girls: "I want to go next door to International Quidditch."
President Mustafa of the Odd Association is there. After all, it was someone who sent me the tickets. Thank you very much. "
Qiu nodded: "Just go about your business and don't worry about us."
Arriving next door, Musta gave the boy a warm hug.
"Mr. Lawrence, I'm so happy to see you."
"Me too, Mr. Mustafa, thank you for sending me the tickets.'"
"This is all a trivial matter. Didn't Mr. Warlow and Mr. McKay come?"
"They were developing faster brooms and didn't have much time."
"That's really a pity. I still want to talk to them. 11 Mustafa shook his head regretfully. At this time, Wayne noticed a gaze staring at him and looked back.
.
Twinkle was about to bow subconsciously, but was stopped in place by an invisible force.
The house elf then remembered that his master's relationship with Wayne could not be exposed, because his eyes were full of horror.
"What's wrong with you?" Harry asked strangely, standing next to Twinkle.
"Twinkle is fine!" Twinkle said stiffly.
Looking at her sweaty appearance, Harry couldn't tell what was wrong with her, but house elves had very strange personalities, so he didn't care.
In the following time, new guests continued to enter the box. Percy was so excited that he didn't sit down at all. He kept following Mr. Weasley and watching him shake hands with others.
Laugh along.
What shocked him even more was that these Ministry of Magic officials would come to say hello to Wayne after just a few words with Mr. Weasley.
Finally, after a Wizengamot member finished speaking to Wayne, Ji Xi found an opportunity to get close to Wayne:
"Wayne, how do you know so many big people?"
Wayne smiled nonchalantly: "As a Hufflepuff, it's normal to have more friends, right?"
Cedric looked subtle: "How come I, a Hufflepuff, don't have so many friends from the Ministry of Magic?"
"That's because I'm a better Hufflepuff than you." Wayne patted his shoulder in a pretentious manner, with a preaching tone, which made classmate Xiaosai's teeth itch in anger.
Percy began to doubt life.
Should he have joined Hufflepuff in the first place, so that it would be more helpful for him to climb up the ladder in the Ministry of Magic?
His musings were interrupted by the arrival of Fudge and the Bulgarian Minister of Magic Obalonsk.
Percy bowed too low and his glasses fell to the ground and broke into pieces. He repaired the glasses in embarrassment and couldn't say a word.
Fudge, like everyone else, didn't notice his presence at all. Instead, after seeing Wayne, he smiled kindly and walked towards the boy with open arms.
But someone is faster than him.
The Bulgarian Minister of Magic pushed aside the chubby Fudge and almost ran to get in front of Wayne.
"Mr. Lawrence, I have finally met you in person."
"No matter what you say this time, you will grant me twenty more sets of equipment. The price is negotiable.
Fudge's smile froze on his face, and he pointed at him with a lofty hand: "You can speak English, but you make me do tricks here all day long."
"I didn't say I couldn't do it." The Bulgarian minister shrugged, "Don't you think this is fun?"
Fugu's eyes darkened.
It’s so fun to ride a horse, but I’m no longer a clown.
