Harry Potter Returns from Baldur’s Gate
Page 151
In the end, they could only take away the bricks from the Room of Requirement before leaving school, just like they did in the past, to prevent anyone from entering the Room of Requirement when they were away.
Although Harry once suggested telling Dumbledore about this and letting Dumbledore find the Horcrux.
But Ron, Hermione and Draco all objected.
After all, they all found a lot of interesting things in the Room of Requirement.
Even Harry found some suitable materials for forging.
So they kept the matter of the Room of Requirement a secret.
For the Gwent editorial department and the Room of Requirement exploration team, the last day of the semester is the day to collect bonuses and close the Room of Requirement, but for ordinary Hogwarts students.
The last day of the semester is the time to decide who will win the House Cup and to have one last big meal at the school before the holidays.
Although Gryffindor won the Quidditch trophy this school year, after they had lost their chance to win the Quidditch trophy, the Slytherins focused all their attention on keeping the house cup, and they unexpectedly kept their house cup this school year.
Slytherin successfully defended the title by defeating Gryffindor with a narrow margin of less than twenty points.
However, although the Gryffindors were somewhat upset about the result, they did not remain upset for too long.
Because when the hall was decorated in Slytherin green, the Weasley twins quietly brought the Quidditch trophy into the hall.
When Dumbledore announced that Slytherin was the winner of this year’s House Cup, the Weasley twins suddenly raised the Quidditch trophy and began to sing “The Basilisk Slayer is our king! He always puts the ball into the goal!”
The Gryffindor students around were stunned for a moment, and then Wood stood up first and began to sing “The Basilisk Slayer is Our King!” with the Weasley twins.
Soon the whole Gryffindor table was singing the song, and then Ravenclaw, led by Cho Chang, started singing “He Always Puts the Ball in the Goal.”
Although judging from the expressions of the Ravenclaw students, they were more or less reluctant to sing this song.
After all, this song was first sung during their final against Gryffindor.
But compared to Slytherin celebrating their consecutive championships, it seems more important to congratulate Gryffindor on winning the Quidditch championship.
After all, it doesn’t matter whether Ravenclaw wins or not. What matters is that Slytherin, who had won for four consecutive years, lost.
When Ravenclaw also started singing, the Hufflepuffs looked at the Slytherins at the long table next to them, who seemed to want to overwhelm the Gryffindors with their cheers, and then looked at the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws who were singing next to them.
I felt that all the excitement was theirs and I had nothing, but fortunately there were still a lot of delicious food on the long table.
As the saying goes, only food and love cannot be wasted.
So the Hufflepuffs started to eat.
It seemed to be because it was the last day of the semester and the house cup had already been announced.
Therefore, the professors all acquiesced to this kind of small confrontation among the students, which was a bit confrontational but did not cause any trouble.
Even Snape was now smiling as he looked at the students in the hall who were either cheering, eating, or singing.
Snape’s smile made Professor Flitwick, who was sitting next to him, a little uneasy, so much so that he whispered something to Snape.
But Snape still just smiled and nodded.
After the dinner, it was time to leave school.
Harry and his companions, carrying their luggage, boarded the Hogwarts Express. Unlike when they came here, there was only Draco and his two big, silly followers by his side.
When Harry returned, there was Hermione in the box, who used her wand to float several books in front of him like a wall, and Qiu Zhang, who was sitting next to him and picking up the wine gourd from time to time.
Ron, who kept inviting Harry to stay at the Burrow for a few days during the summer vacation, or shared with Harry what he was going to do with the bonus.
There was Draco, who was holding a quill and thinking about how to draw new illustrations for Gwent. Crabbe and Goyle were still stuffing food into their mouths frantically, just like when they came.
Looking at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window, Harry had already begun planning how he would check on his cousin Dali’s training results this semester after he saw him.
If he dares to cheat, I will definitely give him a good beating.
Just as Harry was thinking about how to check whether Daly had persisted in exercising, there was a knock on the door.
When everyone in the box, except Hermione, turned their eyes to the box door.
Neville and Pansy walked in with a smile on their faces.
“Friends, have a happy holiday. I have a small commission here. I wonder if you are interested? It is guaranteed to be a lucrative job.”
127 Duli: Harry, you are jealous of me!
As an experienced adventurer, he has never dealt with middlemen.
But there are also many bad guys among the clients of those tasks.
After being cheated many times, Harry has a clear understanding, that is, when someone says to you, “Friend, I have a lucrative job specially reserved for you.”
In fact, the correct way to understand this sentence is, I now have a problem that only you can solve, and I am willing to spend more money to solve the problem.
But surprisingly, Neville’s commission was very simple, not even troublesome, because there were no other people in the carriage except Draco, Crabbe and Goyle.
The rest either lived in Muggle homes or near Muggles.
So Neville wanted to ask them to help him study what Muggle kids like to play with nowadays.
For such a simple commission, Neville offered ten Galleons per person.
For a commission of this difficulty, the price quoted can basically be called sky-high, and it is indeed a huge profit.
But Neville overlooked one point, which was that ten Galleons were of little appeal to those people in the box who had just received a large bonus from Harry.
Ten Galleons? Is that a lot? I could get more than that with a handful of my jingling pockets.
So when Neville offered a high price of ten Galleons, they generally had no reaction.
However, the only two people in this box who responded to the ten Galleons offered by Neville were the only two people in this box who received dividends from the Gwent business.
After hearing the price of ten Galleons, Draco looked up at Neville with a gleam in his eyes.
In the past, to earn ten Galleons, Draco would have had to do more than just ask the current Muggle kids what they liked.
What’s the difference between the money you earn from this job now and picking it up from the ground?
Just as Draco was about to open his mouth, he suddenly remembered the pile of holiday homework that Harry had given him, as well as the negotiations about Gwent’s overseas expansion.
Draco calmed down instantly, lowered his head again and continued to think about how he should draw his original painting.
Besides Draco, the only person in the box who was interested in this errand was Harry.
Like Draco, Harry instantly became very interested in this job after hearing the offer.
On the one hand, compared with others, Harry has a unique advantage in this task. Basically, he only needs to ask his cousin.
On the other hand, as a believer of Woking, is it fair for Harry to refuse such a deal with such a high input-output ratio?
So Harry spent the next five minutes signing the contract with Neville.
At first Neville didn’t want to sign the contract. After all, as wizards, we are all justified by faith.
Will it be you, Harry, who will give me false information, or will it be me, Neville, who will owe you a reward?
We are all decent people, so we will naturally not let things become indecent.
But after seeing the contract that Harry drafted in two minutes, Neville felt more and more that it was very professional. It was so professional that even those practicing lawyers were no more than this.
Some parts only need slight changes to become a standard contract.
So Neville immediately wanted to hire Harry as his legal advisor.
Of course, Harry declined this unreasonable but polite request.
It’s mainly about matters like legal consulting, where the pay is low, the work is heavy and the risks are high.
Before coming back, Harry, as a believer of Woking, had evaluated whether he should continue to take risks or switch to a legal career and become a conscientious lawyer after using the face of a certain devil to prop up his own name.
The final evaluation result is that the input and output of devoting oneself to law are far less than that of continuing to take risks.
Moreover, during the adventure, Harry and his teammates can choose to retreat and run away when facing a situation where they are bound to lose.
You can even give up the task if the client conceals key information. As for whether to beat the client or not, it depends on your mood.
But in the legal industry, once you accept a commission, there is basically only one path left to choose: victory.
After all, no one cares whether the client has concealed any information when you accept the commission. They only care whether you have won the case.
This kind of job is obviously not suitable for a paladin, but more suitable for a devil.
If Harry wanted to become a judge or prosecutor, he would have to give up his business to avoid suspicion.
After realizing that it wasn’t worth it either way, Harry gave up the idea and honestly carried the giant sword to the dungeon to uphold justice and fight against demons.
The Hogwarts Express arrived at King’s Cross Station not long after Neville left with a sigh.
Before the train came to a complete stop, Hermione waved her wand and made the books floating in front of her fly into her suitcase.
“Goodbye, everyone.”
After saying that, he got off the train carrying his suitcase.
Unlike Hermione, who was so carefree that she seemed to run away and never come back, the other people in the compartment got off the train and left Platform 9 3/4 together.
“Hey! Harry!”
Not far from the platform, Harry saw Black standing with Uncle Vernon’s family. Daly, who was the first to notice him, was waving at him.
It seems that this time Daly chose to pick up Harry himself in order to avoid the last incident.
“Hey, Dally~”
Just as Harry waved to Daly, Qiu Zhang and Ron also saw their family coming to pick them up.
Soon a group of people gathered together and started chatting. Arthur was very interested in the pure-blood Muggles like the Vernon family.
It was just that because Arthur’s dress, words and deeds were a little different from those of a respectable Muggle, Uncle Vernon’s face showed a hint of disgust.
Fortunately, Black, an expert on magic and Muggles, was there to smooth things over so the situation wasn’t too awkward.
Harry, who met Qiu Zhang’s parents for the first time, also faced the couple’s scrutinizing gaze.
Harry felt that the scrutiny he had endured when he took the oath to become a paladin was no more than this, right?
However, unlike the time when Harry was confident that he could handle all the trials and examinations, this time Harry felt a little panicked.
Because just as Arthur was talking to Uncle Vernon, Ginny appeared silently behind Harry.
I was in a position that was difficult to judge whether it was in accordance with social etiquette. I just stood there as if basking in the sun or admiring something, not saying anything or doing anything.
When Qiu Zhang asked Ginny if there was anything wrong with her standing here, Ginny just said calmly, “Don’t worry, I just like this position, you don’t have to worry about anything.”
