Chapter 334: Snape Enriching Himself? Cedric's Death Scene
What Qiu had been worried about soon happened.
School is about to start, and most of the people who come to Diagon Alley are students who have been having fun all summer, so Wayne and his party easily meet many familiar faces.
The Slytherin students had very complicated expressions when they saw Wayne, and turned around and ran away. The students from other colleges were also very embarrassed.
However, Wayne didn't care. He said hello to a few familiar Hufflepuffs and began to buy the books he needed for this school year under Hermione's guidance.
His casual attitude also made the little badgers feel that nothing had changed, and they gathered together to murmur and discuss.
"Did Wayne really do what happened that day? It doesn't look like it..."
"It must be, the Daily Prophet has photos and interviews with many people.
"Wayne is called... he is friendly to the people. He was like this before. He never looked at others with his nose just because he was a genius. We are Hufflepuff, not Ravenclaw.
This remark was unanimously approved.
Wayne is able to achieve the same goal in Hufflepuff by treating everyone equally.
There is never any distinction.
Even if he was an insidious villain like Zacharis Smith who was jealous of him and played tricks on him, he never targeted him.
As soon as they talked about this, several little badgers became even more disgusted with Smith.
However, they will not deliberately target Smith. This man has no friends at all in Hufflepuff. In other colleges, except for a few people from Slytherin, no one else is willing to talk to him. He lives like a lonely ghost, completely helpless. Targeted value.
"No, is the school open desk short of money?"
In the potion materials shop, Wayne asked inexplicably as he watched Hermione put boxes of potion ingredients into the trolley.
Lionfish backbone powder, belladonna extract, dried bay leaves...
Shouldn't these materials be provided by the school for free? Why are they being asked to purchase them themselves this year?
"Maybe, after all, if it's all free, the cost will be quite high."
Qiu said as he put a bottle of toad eyes into the shopping cart.
Wayne's eyelids twitched.
He now occupies two school director seats with the help of Nicolas Flamel and Mrs. Greengrass, and he knows how much Hogwarts costs for a year.
The twelve directors have to donate between two thousand and three galleons every year. The Ministry of Magic balances the donations according to the 25 school directors, which means that if the school directors donate more than 20,000, the Ministry of Magic will also donate more than 20,000.
In addition, the school also sells out some raw materials, and with a capital of 50,000 to 60,000 galleons each year, many ingredients are self-sufficient, enough to support the consumption of a thousand students.
He had reason to suspect that Snape was secretly lining his own pockets.
No, as the future successor of the school, how could he allow such a thing to happen?
Wayne's spirit was shaken and he immediately became excited.
As long as it was found out that Snape did it, he would definitely publicize it in the newspapers and discredit the old bat.
Mimi Mimi
In the small house far away at the end of Spider Alley, Snape sneezed inexplicably and felt a little chilly. He silently put on a robe and continued to do research...
"I've basically bought everything. You don't need to buy parchment paper and quills. All that's left is the cauldron. Your cauldron should still be usable, right?"
Hermione thought about the items on the list and finally said.
"Well, it's really time to buy a crucible." Wayne said, "Mine is almost broken, and I need a few Gardevoir, so I'll buy more at once.
Then, they saw what Wayne meant by buying more.
He bought more than half of the inventory of crucibles of the right model in the Michaelis Crucible Store, and there were hundreds of them.
Jerry's personal money was emptied on the spot, and the smiling store manager grinned from ear to ear and gave him many brass scales and beakers, as well as some small containers for materials.
After shopping, several people prepared to go to Celia's store to see the situation in the store.
The recent customer flow has increased significantly, and Nagini is a little worried that she can't handle it, so she has been in the store these days.
When they passed by Madam Malkin's robe shop, several people who were trying on clothes in the store saw Wayne and shouted excitedly:
"Wayne! This way!"
The boy turned his head and saw George and Fred waving at him in burgundy robes.
Not only the two of them, Ronald and Harry came, and even Cedric stuck his head out from behind the twins and smiled foolishly at the outside.
Fifteen minutes later, under the tent of Florin's cold drink shop, several young people sat together and ate cold drinks.
"Are you the only ones here?" Wayne asked.
"Ginny was shopping with her mother at Madam Primpenier's Beauty and Potion Shop. Fred took a big bite of the chocolate on the ice cream and said, "We took too long to try on clothes, they have to. "
"There are dress robes on the list of necessities. We almost missed it. "Ronald complained: "I wonder if Lockhart has been resurrected and has become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the next semester."
Several people laughed, and Wayne also admired Ronald's complaining skills, which was very unique.
But everyone was also wondering why the school suddenly had such a request.
Hermione and others who knew the inside story smiled at each other and did not reveal it.
The topic of the chat was unconsciously linked to the World Cup final. Mr. Weasley had been working overtime for half a month, and it was not until yesterday that it came to an end, but he was also very tired.
So he didn't move with everyone today.
"My dad is still working overtime." Qiu couldn't help complaining: "His ears haven't been working well recently. My mother and I have to speak loudly to him to communicate normally.
"Why?" Hermione asked curiously.
The girl spread her hands helplessly: "Recently, they have been dealing with the Ministry of Magic of other countries, and they all use howler letters."
Imagining that scene, several people couldn't help but shudder.
Wayne felt a little weak in his heart.
It seemed that he had accidentally pitted his father-in-law again.
Xiao Sai kept winking at Wayne, "Wayne, my dad got promoted."
"What position?" Wayne asked curiously.
"Deputy director." Cedric said happily.
"Why is he still deputy?"
"It's already very impressive." Cedric rolled his eyes: "But thanks to your help, otherwise he might have to wait a few more years until the previous deputy director retires."
"He asked me to ask you when you have time to treat you to a meal."
"School is about to start, let's talk about it during the holidays." Wayne waved his hand and skipped the topic.
As long as Cedric is there, he doesn't have to deliberately maintain a relationship with Mr. Diggory. This child-showing maniac will consider everything for his son. They are natural allies.
If he doesn't cooperate, he will beat Xiao Han.
George said sarcastically: "So should I call you Master Director from now on?"
"Don't be so polite." Cedric pretended to be reserved, "With our relationship, just call me Master Cedric."
Fred said viciously: "Then Master Cedric, your birthday present this year is a big egg."
Cedric's face changed: "No, didn't we agree on it..." He started to hesitate halfway through.
Wayne saw his strange behavior and immediately realized that something was wrong. He approached Fred and asked: "What did we agree on?"
"Don't!" Cedric stood up and was about to stop him, but it was too late. Fred laughed and whispered in Wayne's ear.
After hearing this, Wayne looked at Cedric with disdain: "Look at your worthless look. Isn't it just an adult magazine? Are you so secretive?"
Hearing this, the girls immediately looked at Cedric with scumbag eyes.
Classmate Xiaosai was about to cry without tears [Tai roared and threw himself at Fred: "Both of us have made it!"
September 1st is the first day of school.
The temperate maritime climate has begun to show its strength again. Starting from last night, the following birds drifted over London and started to rain.
Until we set off in the morning, the sky was still gray and extremely dull.
Faced with the bad weather, Wayne brought Qiu and Hermione home, and Astoria and Daphne also used Floo powder to come over.
Several people put their hands on Wayne's and apparated together to King's Cross Station.
Wayne deliberately chose a remote cleaning room, but by chance, an employee happened to come to wash the mop and saw them appear out of thin air.
In desperation, Wayne can only cast the great amnesia spell.
Entering platform nine and three-quarters, the Hogwarts Express was already parked there, billowing smoke, and a group of people were squeezing up.
When a Slytherin parent saw Wayne, his expression suddenly changed and he said to his son: "Marcus, remember, don't mess with Lawrence, otherwise you will be asking for trouble."
After saying that, he actually apparated away and ran away, leaving Marcos standing there with a confused face.
No...Dad, just leave and leave your luggage for me!
Wayne didn't notice the 'interesting things' happening here at all. Qiu and the others went up to find the box first, while he was talking to the Weasley family.
"Maybe I'll be able to see you all soon." Charlie plugged his hands and said with a smile.
"Why?" Fred asked eagerly.
"You will know soon." Charlie blinked at Wayne, then looked at Gemini and Ronald: "Don't tell Percy that I mentioned this... You know, this is 'Top secret information.'"
"I really hope I can go back to Hogwarts this year." Bill also sighed and shook his head, and his two huge earrings made a jingling sound.
"What's going on?" Ginny was so anxious that she almost pounced on them and interrogated them.
It was obvious that something big was about to happen, but the two of them didn't tell her. I remember the little girl blushed.
"You will have a very interesting year this year, unprecedentedly lively." Bill's eyes flashed: "Maybe I will take a leave of absence and come back.'
"It's indeed a bit far away over the pyramid." Wayne nodded in agreement: "Bill, haven't you considered transferring back?"
Bill smiled bitterly: "Of course I have considered it. At first I thought it would be more interesting there, but now it's not that easy to come back."
"We only need a few curse breakers in total. There is no place for me here in the UK yet."
Wayne nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The Geminis were already anxious. When they wanted to press, the train whistle blew, and Mrs. Weasley urged: "Okay, kids, it's time for you to set off."
"I think you'll figure it out tonight, so enjoy the school year and I'll be traveling with dad over Christmas so you don't have to come back.
After saying that, she pushed several people to destroy the army.
George was still indignant, "They all know it, but they just hide it from us. What on earth is it?"
Cedric looked at Wayne suspiciously: "I just saw Charlie wink at you, and you were not curious or surprised at all just now. You must know something."
Suddenly, everyone looked at Wayne, standing in the corridor
It's not moving anymore.
"I do know." Wayne said calmly, then looked at everyone's curious eyes and smiled: "But I just won't tell you."
After saying that, he ran away quickly.
A group of people gritted their teeth, and Fred said viciously: "If I can beat Wayne, I will definitely catch him, hang him up and beat him!"
"There is no chance in this life, you should just look forward to the next life." Ronald said numbly.
The twins were immediately diverted.
I can't help Wayne, so I can't deal with you?
The two of them lifted Ronald up in tacit agreement and left.
Ginny stamped her feet bitterly and went to find the box where 153 Wayne was.
Along the way, no matter how hard she tried to persuade him, Wayne refused to reveal anything.
Secrecy is a tradition at Hogwarts, just like the sorting ceremony. "Wayne made excuses for himself: "Now that I have been talking for a while, there will be no surprises.
"But Hermione and the others know it, even Luna knows it!" Ginny said aggrievedly.
"You know what?" Luna, who had been watching the Quibbler, looked up at her strangely.
Ginny didn't know how to describe it for a moment: "It's just the thing that was hidden from me.
Luna shook her head: "I don't know anything, and I didn't tell you even though I was kind." 1
Ginny looked at her in disbelief: "Then why are you not curious at all?"
Luna said matter-of-factly: "We'll find out when we get to school later."
Ginny was left speechless.
Suddenly, she was shocked: "We're here!"
The train slowly slowed down and stopped at the dark Hogsmeade station. Several people got up and put on their school robes and walked out of the door.
There was a rumble of thunder in the sky, and Wayne found that it always rained every time school started, something was not normal. Could it be that the old chicken was trying to intimidate the students?
"Freshmen! Come over here!"
Hagrid was still responsible for welcoming new students, holding an oil lamp in his hand and shouting loudly. Wayne waved to him, and the hybrid giant motioned for him to come over.
When the young man walked over, Hagrid said excitedly: "Merlin, I finally understand what you mean, I can see Norbert!"
"They actually accomplished such a big thing!"
"Keep your voice down Hagrid, do you want to be invited to tea at the Ministry of Magic for revealing the content of the game?" Wayne reminded him.
Only then did the hybrid giant notice his gaffe and quickly lowered his voice.
"You will compete, right?"
"Sorry, no." Wayne shrugged helplessly: "My participation in the competition will make this event boring."
Although it is a bit regretful, Hagrid also feels that this should be the case.
If Wayne participates, there is no need for students from other schools to come, the Ministry of Magic can just award the award directly.
"I go first."
"Go ahead and see you at the party if we don't drown." Hagrid waved.
Wayne returned to Hermione's side, and they boarded the Thestral carriage. With a violent jolt, the long carriage convoy set off along the path.
Due to the strong wind, the curtains on both sides were pulled down, and the situation outside could not be seen.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped, and they knew they had arrived.
"Oh my God!"
"Am I dazzled?"
"Jenny, look like you're hurt!"
There were waves of exclamations outside the carriage, and Wayne also felt a little strange. He got out of the carriage and looked up at the castle, and his expression suddenly became extremely surprised.
...This is still Hogwarts?.
