Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 299 Group photo
"Goatee! Are you an idiot?"

McGuffin even said so directly.

He could see the undisguised contempt for him in the eyes of the wizard in front of him.

If it wasn't at Weasley's house, if Ludo Bagman, Director of Sports of the Ministry of Magic, and Professor McGonagall were not here... I'm afraid this idiot will wave his wand and directly threaten to hand over all the magic patents he owns.

— This guy is a bloody blood supremacist.

Although he had heard of it, it was the first time McGuffin had really seen this kind of person.

In McGuire Peak's view, these pure-bloods are even more disgusting than Voldemort, the dark wizard careerists who only care about power and magical power.Like bedbugs and cockroaches, they live in the entire wizarding world, almost everywhere.

Although McGuffin has not seen this kind of unusually obvious pure-blood wizard supremacy in Hogwarts... But Slytherin does have this kind of person, even Ravenclaw and Gryffindor probably have it.

It's just that when Dumbledore was the headmaster, no one dared to say that he had this tendency.

Although the goatee wizard would not show it clearly during the contract signing ceremony, but this self-righteous, superior idiot stench can be smelled even tens of miles away.

Disgusting.

Especially when he saw that the two Muggles, Mr. Longman, McGuffin's father, and Emily Albert, his sister, were also at the signing of the contract, their eyes were full of discrimination.

(Longman Albert came here as the guardian of MacGuffin, but Emily... McGuffin dared not refuse. Besides, when he created this broomstick, he also received a lot of advice from Emily about aerodynamics, so that this broom was invented smoothly.)
Afterwards, when negotiating the terms and conditions of the contract, McGuffin was able to see this guy's background even more.

He actually cast a small deodorizing spell on his nose, like he was afraid of smelling something.

When discussing with Professor McGonagall and negotiating the previous Hogwarts contract, they tried their best to avoid physical contact with McGuffin and the others, as if they were afraid of being infected with some terrible disease.

Facing this kind of guy, McGuffin knew that if he gave him a little good face, he would become more self-righteous and push forward.

_——I really don’t know [Universal Nimbus Flying Broom Manufacturing Company] is really only such idiots left, so they only send wizards of this level as the other party to sign the contract.

"What did you say?" Goatee froze for a moment, unable to believe what he heard, and then roared loudly, splashing spittle, almost 'accidentally injuring' everyone in front of him.

Weasley, Ludo Bagman, and Professor McGuffin all turned sideways to avoid it.

"I say - either you think all the wizards we sit down here are idiots, or you're a hopeless fool wasting our time..."

"There are only two possibilities, you choose one!"

McGuffin then said coldly to the idiot.

This answer made Professor McGonagall frown, but she didn't say much.

Apparently the goatee pissed her off, too.

It is understandable to strive for the maximum benefit of one's own magic company.

But thinking that a company that manufactures magic brooms can eat up the last one and the next one, this is a worrying IQ.

During the previous process of signing the contract, this guy insisted that he wanted to change the terms that had been negotiated.

——He directly distributed the dividends that Hogwarts and McGuffin should get, or cut off more than half of the profits.

The reason this guy followed was that when he questioned the broom that McGuffin invented, he infringed on the magic patent on the [Nimbus Series Flying Broomsticks] issued by [Universal Light Wheel Company].

"This is a kind of blatant plagiarism. But our company sees that this is just a poor imitation of a little wizard in Hogwarts... So [Global Light Wheel Flying Apsaras Manufacturing Company] will not pursue Hogwarts' patent infringement, so in the end this contract is already a great concession."

So said the idiot, shaking his goatee.

His way of temporarily repenting almost made fun of everyone here.

No respect at all.

Even the good-natured Mr. Weasley refuted it coldly, interrupting his goatee and angrily spraying saliva on several people continuously, idiotic behavior.

"Mr. Denassi, what you say is extremely shameful."

"I'm shameless! Think about it..."

"Which wizard would not believe in the broomstick produced by such an outstanding company as [Global Light Wheel Company], but choose to believe that a young wizard who has not yet obtained a wizard certificate invented this epoch-making broomstick... What's more, he was born into a Muggle family. Think about it carefully... Do you think that people born into a Muggle family will really understand magic alchemy to this extent?"

"Does he know the theoretical principles of flying magic? Do you know the several uses of the braking spell?"

"He must have stolen our company's magic patent!"

These words made Mr. Weasley's face pale, and he couldn't bear to look directly at the McGuffin and Longman family. (He didn't expect a wizard to be so shameless in front of Muggles and little wizards, it's a big shame to wizards)
On the other hand, although Ludo Bagman's face was not very good-looking, as the director of the Department of Magical Sports, he did not stand up and say a word of justice.

It seems that this guy with the goatee is not here alone, he has already prepared... and secretly colluded with some high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic in advance.

Not long ago, [Daily Prophet] said that the Ministry of Magic's corruption problem is still light, and such shameless acts are actually placed on the table.

Looking at it now, it is not surprising that Voldemort made a comeback so quickly two or three years later.

The Ministry of Magic is rotten to the core.

Although people are afraid of Voldemort, the Ministry of Magic is not a good thing for them.

Two rotten apples, one moldy and one moth-eaten, are not good products.

McGuffin looked at Rita Skeeter with gleaming eyes with an ugly face. This woman, who looked like a poodle, was watching, holding a quill and notebook in her hand, admiring the embarrassment of McGuffin with great interest.

McGuffin knew in his heart that if he was bullied by this goatee idiot, the things he had previously negotiated with her through correspondence would most likely be in vain, and this woman might even bite him back.

What do you say that the little wizard of the Muggle family copied the patent...

"I said, you guys, do you really understand the principle on which this magic broom was created?"

After Emily stared at it for a long time, she interrupted directly and coldly.

Her tone was full of contempt for the people around her.

And it's the kind of condescending 'contempt of the king' that is taken for granted.

Every expression, every turn of tone is full of Emily's sense of IQ superiority.

Although she is still very fanatical about magic spells, what is the essence of magic power?
But she is very contemptuous of the level of magic development in the wizarding world.

——Especially after probably knowing from McGuffin that the mathematical logic level of Hogwarts wizards is below the average level, and the current view of Muggles in the wizarding world, and that no one studies the essence of magic and magic, this guy has returned to her true colors.

Probably those who did not reach the IQ standard line were all in her eyes some kind of incompletely evolved orangutan.

If there was anything special about wizards, it might be some super-powered orangutans in her eyes?

"What did you say? What right do you Muggle...I..."

That Denassi goatee was mad, he'd never been insulted like that by a Muggle.

But under Professor McGonagall's cold gaze, he just squeezed his wand tightly, screaming impotently and furiously.

The last old saying is good——the wicked are more punished by the wicked.

Speaking of that sense of self-superiority, Emily is even better.

Emily despised the IQ of the horned beard from the beginning to the end with the usual attitude of being so angry that people would not pay for her life.

Although they couldn't understand it, they couldn't directly say that it was a bluff and a lie in the face of Emily's disdainful words full of superiority.

If he was exposed by a Muggle on the spot again, he would not be able to get off the stage even more.

Overwhelmed with anger, De Naxi's goatee directly tore his face in the end, wanting not to talk about martial arts, but directly wanting to temporarily ruin the signing of the contract.

Then from other times, they used various means to sneak attack McGuffin, a little wizard born in a Muggle family.

"[Magic Contract] is not reliable, it is better to cast [Unbreakable Vow]."

In the end, he even directly stated the reason to refuse clearly.

Even Ludo Bagman, who secretly had a tacit understanding with the [Global Light Wheel] company, felt that this was too shameless.

"Denaci, you..."

"Okay! I promise."

McGuffin snapped his fingers directly, and the rune spell of the magic engraving [Golden Libra] from ancient Egypt appeared in front of them.

"This is?" the others asked in surprise.

"That's right!" Professor McGonagall glanced at the spell in admiration, "I know...Professor Dumbledore told me, yes, this is the spell, right?"

After Professor McGonagall explained the effect of this spell in detail, especially with her cold face, she impatiently hinted that if an agreement cannot be reached this time, Hogwarts will directly go to [Hengxing Broom Production Company] to reach a patent transfer agreement. '

After hearing this kind of words, Ludo Bagman, who was a bystander, immediately joined in with a smile on the sidelines and only vaguely agreed... He was so tough that he asked De Nasi to sign the contract.

It seems that the position of the Ministry of Magic does not care whose interests are damaged in this contract. This contract must be signed today.

This is probably an order from Cornelius Fudge.And the one who colluded with [Nimura Company] is probably another high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic.

Now... this magic contract is considered to be signed.

After such a long delay, it is almost noon now.

Everyone was hungry and looked very impatient.

The obnoxious goatee-bearded Denassi wizard also knew that he was not welcome, picked up the magic contract he signed, and was about to leave here.

Of course the others had no reason to keep him.

Mr. Weasley even pulled Longman Albert aside to speak loudly, comforting that there are always some idiot wizards like this in the wizarding world.

There is no cover-up, leaving room for mutual affection.

Obviously, he was full of indignation towards that idiot wizard.

But Ludo Bagman, the director of the sports department, clearly still has a task from his boss, Cornelius Fudge.

The main purpose of his trip was to publicize this news, so as to attract the attention of British wizards.

Otherwise, Rita Skeeter, a reporter who has recently become famous (because of reporting some corruption scandals in the Ministry of Magic in the previous [Magic Giant Tree Terrorist Attack] incident), would not have paid a lot of money to invite to report on this matter.

"Wait, Denasi!"

"Take a picture!"

"Come and take a photo with us..."

"Professor McGonagall, don't go, this kind of moment is a good time for you to smash the rumors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

"Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry of the Yankee have been spreading rumors these days that Hogwarts is outdated and out of date, and there are other rumors that the castle facilities are outdated..."

Ludo Bagman exclaimed excitedly, "Don't you think this is a valuable publicity point?"

"The little wizard who has not obtained the wizard qualification certificate has become a rich man. His invention of a special flying broomstick will most likely make history, and it will be fully purchased by the English Quidditch team..."

"—what could be better than this to prove the superiority of Hogwarts' teaching methods and the high level of professors!"

"Let's take a group photo with the little wizard, the vice-principal, and everyone from the Ministry of Magic."

"And the Muggles? Let's take a photo together too... This proves that our British wizarding world is the most open and equal... Especially compared to the dictatorial Auror-style horror wizarding world of the American Council of Magic!"

"What do you think, Rita?

"Hmm...Okay! Let's take a few group photos first!"

Rita Skeeter turned to McGuffin, exchanged glances with him, and said quickly, "Indeed! This is a valuable story... Everyone will take a few pictures individually!"

It took a long time to take pictures.

The main reason is that De Nasi, who has a serious plot of pure-blood wizard supremacy, always tries to stay away from the McGuffins... Either his expression is grim, or his eyes are extremely hostile to McGuffins and Emily.

In the end, there was no way, Rita Skeeter said that she could go back and let the magic photographer of the "Daily Prophet" do some cutting. (She had De Nasi the goatee pose for a photo with the other wizards, and McGuffin and his family with the other wizards, Rita Skeeter placing them on the left and right sides of the crowd)

So this photo can go on.

In addition, I didn't expect Professor McGonagall, as the vice-principal of Hogwarts, to be very unfamiliar with getting photographed by the newspaper media, always hiding behind the crowd.

Ludo Bagman was a different kind of trouble than another guy.

This guy always wanted to stand in the middle of the front, but he didn't expect his burly figure to block everyone else.In particular, the big belly attracts everyone's attention in the photos.

This……

The page of the [Daily Prophet] definitely does not allow this kind of photo to be posted.

So this photo took a lot of energy from the wizards.

After finally adjusting their positions and taking pictures, they finally got out of it.

After that, [Global Light Wheel Magic Broom Production Company], the representative of Denaxi Wizard, hurriedly Apparated away.

And after Professor McGonagall told McGuffin a few words, saying that if there is anything that needs help and then discuss it with an owl post, he also waved his wand and disappeared.

Only Ludo Bagman and Rita Skeeter are still here at 【The Burrow】.

Ludo Bagman hurriedly smiled, pulled Mr. Weasley to explain his position in a hurry, "Arthur, you should understand my helplessness... I have to follow the orders of those shit-like high-level officials..."

As for Rita Skeeter, she is planning to interview McGuffin.

"Bagman, may I have a word with McGuffin first?"

"You know...to add some color and realism to the article? After all, I don't know what life is like in a Muggle family."

"No problem!" Bagman said loudly, "I just don't know if the little wizard objects?"

"Hmm..." McGuffin and Rita Skeeter looked at each other knowingly, and then he turned to Mrs. Weasley and Ron who had just come down, asking him to take care of his family.

(Look at the situation, Emily is fumbling, she is intrigued again by this kitchen full of all kinds of wonderful magic items, the wizard's house)

As soon as McGuffin finished speaking, he pretended to be grabbed by Rita Skeeter's arm, pulled him out of the room, and came outside the garden of [The Burrow].

The two tried their best to take a walk into the distance.

It wasn't until the house of "The Burrow" became a background that McGuffin stopped and said to the reporter who kept arranging his curly hair.

"Okay, here it is!"

"No one should have noticed."

"Let's negotiate a price for that."
