A day at Hogwarts

The most discussed thing in Hogsmeade is Farbarton Castle in the east. Many villagers have gone there to explore before, but they didn't expect it to be bought by someone now.

Some students heard about this, and it wasn't that far there, so they went there to watch the fun when they had time.

The working elves cleaned up the castle in a few days, and now the wizard civil engineer comes in to carry out further repairs and decorations.

Charles also came here after returning to Hogsmeade, and talked with Horace Jones, the general contractor and designer of the construction company, about how to decorate the staff canteen in the project department office in the castle.

These wizards were owed wages for their previous project to repair Majia Village. Jack successfully led them to ask for wages, so he worked hard to help Charles.

Charles finally decided to choose a Victorian style restaurant. The casual dining on the first floor has square tables and booths, and the decoration is simple and elegant. The second floor is decorated more luxuriously. The booths against the wall have silk curtains to separate private spaces. The booths on the third floor are decorated in a more luxurious style. The private room is so luxurious that it can be used to hold family dinners or banquets. There are round tables and long tables.

The decoration plan was quickly finalized. Charles believed in the aesthetics of veteran British designers. However, Jones raised a question: "Boss, expanding the room is a small problem. It's just that tables, chairs, decorations and dishes require a lot of money, especially To meet your requirements.”

According to Charles, there are no waiters in this restaurant. Customers only need to put their money on the table and order the corresponding dishes on the menu. The food and drinks are just like the canteen in Hogwarts. Teleported to the table.

The carpets on the floor also have an automatic cleaning function. Dirty soles of guests' feet and garbage dropped on the floor can be automatically removed in time.

There are also corresponding decorations. For example, the flowers in the vase on the table are in bud when there are no guests, bloom after the guests sit down, and close again when they leave after eating.

The spells are ripe enough for Jones to find someone to do them.

But the spell needs a carrier. Tables, chairs, dishes, etc. must be bought before the spell is cast.

Charles was scratching his head a little. This was a lot of money, and he didn't know how much he could get tonight.

He asked Jones: "Can the cost be reduced reasonably?"

Charles knows very well that there is a limit to reducing costs. Blindly reducing costs will lower quality, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Jones thought for a while and said: "If you want it cheap and good, you can only go to that magical place."

Charles raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is it?"

Jones replied seriously: "Yiwu."

Charles was silent, then nodded.

After talking about the renovation, Charles called Dobby over, told him about the restaurant, and asked him what dishes the current chef would cook.

Dobby said that several elves who are good at cooking can cook excellent British dishes, as well as some French and German dishes.

Charles asked him to go to No. 3 Privet Drive to get the recipe from the bookcase in his room for everyone to learn, and then go to the beach house to cook it for Jack and Grindelwald to try.

Although Jack is not a good cook, he has eaten all over the seven continents and four oceans, and even went to a research station in Antarctica.

When Grindelwald traveled across the Atlantic, he took a high-end route, and he had seen it before.

If the chef who works as a working elf can get their approval, then there will be no problem.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when everything was done, and the students began to return to the castle.

Charles asked Professor McGonagall for leave, saying that he was going to the centaurs tribe and would not be back tonight.

As night fell, the students of Hogwarts were in the cafeteria chatting about what they had seen in Hogsmeade today and enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

Under a big tree in the Forbidden Forest, Charles stood there with his eyes closed. After a while, the features and hair on his face began to melt, making him look more like a boiled egg than Voldemort.

Then his body began to change, like a ball of white clay.

Half an hour later, a man who looked exactly like Grindelwald stepped out of the shadows under the moonlight.

The human transformation technique that the old man obtained from the Veela was not difficult for Charles. What was difficult was how to shape his face, so it took a lot of time to transform into Grindelwald for the first time.

Charles took out a mirror and looked at it, adjusted his expression, and was confident that even if Dumbledore came over now, he would definitely not be able to recognize him as long as he didn't take off his pants.

The problem is, the dementors patrolling here don't recognize him either.

The one patrolling here was a relatively small young dementor. When he saw someone in front of him, he quickly rushed over.

But the Dementor suddenly felt nauseous, and a white luminous object suddenly appeared in front of him. It looked like a woman in appearance, holding a long sword in his hand, and seemed to be swinging it over!

It was daybreak when the dementor regained consciousness.

Charles nodded with satisfaction. The patron saint of the ship girl knocked the dementor unconscious with the back of his sword. It seemed to be quite powerful, but he didn't know how to kill people.

He didn't expect that there would be Dementors this far into the Forbidden Forest, so he walked deeper.

When he was sure the area was safe, Charles took out a plastic bag containing a black hair.

He couldn't understand what Grindelwald was thinking. The nest he built for Black was actually still there, and he found a few transformed hairs in it.

With hair, the missing person spell is convenient.

The temperature in the mountains north of Hogwarts was already very low, and the bonfire burning in the cave brought warmth. There were many bird feathers and leftover roasted birds beside the fire.

Blake sat by the fire, holding two lockets in his hands, one very rough, the other very delicate, with an ornate snake-shaped "S" on it.

"I suggest you not to have too much contact with that evil thing."

The sudden sound made Blake quickly pick up the wand beside him and point it in the direction of the sound.

But the visitor who appeared in the light of the fire surprised him. He was actually the old wizard who had picked him up from the beach and raised him for several days, and almost killed himself.

The wizard was wearing a dark trench coat and a round-brimmed hat. He looked like an old gentleman and was holding a bag in his hand.

Charles glanced at the remains of the roasted bird beside him, shook his head, sat down by the campfire, put the bag aside, and said calmly: "You haven't eaten well recently. I brought you some food." .”

The bag that had been expanded with a traceless expansion spell fell over, and all kinds of cans rolled to the floor.

Blake was not sure of the other party's intention for a moment, so he pointed his wand at the other party cautiously.

Charles glanced at the wand in his hand. The Daily Prophet said that he had stolen it by knocking on a sap.

"Are you an Auror or a bounty hunter?" Blake could only think of these two identities. "Are you going to capture me and take me back to collect the reward?"

Charles smiled and said, "My bounty is much higher than yours."
