A day at Hogwarts

On Saturday morning, the students were having breakfast in the cafeteria, and the Weasley twins were talking to Harry about Quidditch, and Ron on the side listened enviously.

Charles glanced at the professor. Dumbledore hadn't come back yet, so he was probably selling unicorn tail hair and acromander venom in other countries.

At this time, the arrival of an owl disrupted Charles' plan to go to the Forbidden Forest today, and immediately took the letter to Professor McGonagall.

Half an hour later, the fireplace at No. 3 Privet Drive ignited a green flame, and Charles and Professor McGonagall with a frosty face came out of the fire.

As soon as Charles came out, he saw Penny looking at him in panic in the living room. Just as he was about to say hello, Penny pointed upstairs and said, "They're in the study."

Five minutes later, Jack and Dumbledore were sitting on the sofa like children caught doing something wrong, and Professor McGonagall glared at them viciously.

"Unbelievable, really unbelievable!" Professor McGonagall was shaking with anger, "Albus, you...you...you actually played Muggle games for three days and three nights!"

"You... don't you want to be the principal anymore!"

Dumbledore shrank his neck and said in a low voice: "I originally wanted to go back after playing for one more round."

Then Professor McGonagall gave him a hard look, and he dared not speak.

Jack gleefully watched Dumbledore being scolded, but he didn't expect that it would be his turn next.

"Mr. Smith!" Professor McGonagall asked the old man to sit down obediently in an instant, "I thought you were a mature gentleman, but I didn't expect that you are just like Albus, like a child who hasn't grown up!"

Charles hid in the kitchen in the name of making tea, for fear that he would accidentally laugh and be put on by the old man and the principal in the end.

Petunia went back. She came to check on the situation when she saw that the old man hadn't picked up the newspaper for a few days.

Recently, the "Empty Nest Elderly Care and Mutual Aid Group" has been launched in the community. Charles wrote a letter to the community before going to school to propose the establishment.

Petunia was worried at first that something was wrong with Jack, but it turned out that the two old men were playing "Civilization" in the study, and the most important thing was that the dishes in the kitchen were all smelly.

Hearing that Professor McGonagall seemed to be ready to finish his training, Charles boiled the water again, made tea, and brought some sandwiches to the living room.

When Professor McGonagall saw him coming, he gave Dumbledore some face in front of the students, but he still didn't look good. He picked up the teacup and asked, "How about the things you went to do?"

Dumbledore played computer games for the first time, and he was still playing "Civilization". He didn't eat for three days and three nights, and after eating a sandwich with a teacup in one hand and a sandwich in the other, he said, "I gave the gold to Mr. Smith. "

After speaking, he put a few gold bars on the table, and Charles stared straight at them.

Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore dejectedly. He didn't remember this incident these days. Could it be that Muggle games are really so fun?

We have been best friends for many years, and she vented her anger after scolding just now. She said to Dumbledore: "Go back to Hogwarts and rest. Charles and I will exchange gold for Muggle money, and then go to buy supplies for the centaur. .”

At this time, Jack said proudly: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, it can be done here."

After speaking, he walked to the phone and sat down, flipped through the phone book and started calling.

"...Yes, I have gold here to sell to you, left by my ancestors..."

"...Haha, I invested in a store in a Scottish film school, and I want to buy from you... Besides food, I also need some kitchen utensils as props..."

"...That's right, the arrows used for bows and arrows, if they are real ones, they are used for making movies...Okay, I'll wait for you at home..."

"...I'll talk about the fishing later. I want to rent an independent warehouse... Okay, I've written down the number. When the time comes, I'll ask someone to pull the goods over and help me arrange for someone to unload the goods. Come to me to get the money when I'm free. ..."

"There will be a sum of money in my account later... Yes, as before, I will buy all the stocks of Dell Computers... Haha, the money is reserved for Charles' future marriage, and will not be used for other things Invested in..."

...

After making a phone call, Jack smiled and said to Professor McGonagall, "We'll just wait here. Can you tell me how Charles is doing at school during this time?"

He has made a lot of friends as a member of parliament in recent years, and he basically got things done with one phone call.

Charles broke out in a cold sweat, so he took a bottle of happy water from the refrigerator and slipped into the study to see how the computer was doing.

An hour later, the manager of a gold shop in Surrey brought his staff to visit. They were a little surprised when they saw Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore wearing ancient robes. Jack said they were the principal and professor of a film school.

After testing, the purity of the gold brought by Dumbledore was about 90%. After the gold store manager negotiated the price with Jack, the gold store manager wrote two checks according to Jack's request, one for daily expenses with less money.

Soon after, the manager of a large supermarket came, and Jack purchased a lot of sugar cubes, granulated sugar, oats, salt, olive oil, happy water, pots, kitchen knives, hammers, axes, saws, iron nails and some shelf-stable fruits from him. , and shipped them all to the warehouse we rented just now.

After signing the contract with Jack, the manager of the supermarket borrowed the phone number here to call back, and asked the supermarket warehouse to prepare the first batch of goods and send them to the designated warehouse immediately.

At this time, a strong middle-aged man came. He owned a small metal processing factory and knew many colleagues. He could take the lead in making arrows. Charles was called down to describe the dimensions of the arrows used by the centaur.

Charles said to him: "The arrows need to be more durable. Good steel can be used, and the heat treatment must be done well. These are to be reused, so don't worry about money."

"No problem." The owner of the processing factory said, "The quality will definitely be the best!"

Jack negotiated the price with them and paid by writing a check on the spot.

Excluding the waiting time, Jack solved the purchase of supplies neatly. Later, Charles can go to the warehouse and bring some goods sent by the supermarket back to Hogwarts.

Two hours later, a call came from the warehouse, and the first batch of goods from the supermarket had been unloaded.

It's time to leave, Professor McGonagall complained about Dumbledore: "You should take a good rest when you go back, do you think you are still young, I think you need a dose of life and death water."

After hearing this, Jack asked Professor McGonagall "curiously": "Professor, what is the water of life and death?"

Professor McGonagall replied: "It is a kind of potion made by wizards, which can make people sleep peacefully."

She thought that Jack was too old to play for three days and three nights in a row, so she asked, "Mr. Smith, you also need a good rest. Can I give you some? I can have the house elf bring it."

Jack smiled and said to her, "If you can say 'good night' to me, it's better than all sleeping potions in the world."
