A day at Hogwarts

Thanks to Dumbledore's timely intervention, Charles was not chopped by Snape.

Finally, under Dumbledore's persuasion, Snape finally agreed to join the research team as a researcher.

Later, Charles suggested to the research team that two Death Eaters be randomly captured from Azkaban as a comparison group.

The days of Hogwarts returned to their former peace, except for Snape.

Charles submitted an application report to Dumbledore to set up a private long-term alchemy laboratory, which was soon approved.

Dumbledore rented a remote small tower in the castle to Charles for 5,000 Galleons a year to avoid affecting other people in case of experimental accidents.

There was basically no one there, and it was full of old desks and chairs that had been preserved for hundreds of years.

Charles thought at first that he could find some historical treasures or spells, but in the end he found that their only use was to use them as firewood.

In Hogwarts, only Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Professor Delacour knew about this matter except Charles, and Charles did not intend to tell others.

He asked Dobby to decorate the tower. The first floor was a maze that was off-limits to outsiders. The second to fourth floors were laboratories and warehouses. The top fifth floor was a study and lounge.

When he prepared the experimental equipment and some potions, he suddenly realized that it was October and students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were coming.

"So early?!" Charles was a little surprised. It was only the first week of October.

Filch posted the notice and replied, "I heard from Professor Dumbledore that the competition organizing committee will work together to arrange the venue in advance."

Charles thought so too.

"Good morning, Charles, Mr. Filch."

Mafalda Prewett, a freshman in Slytherin this year, went to the cafeteria early with two girls and greeted Charles and Filch when she saw them.

Filch had a good attitude towards Mafalda and greeted her calmly.

Charles chatted with her for a few words and asked how she was doing at Hogwarts.

The two girls next to her were a little surprised that Mafalda actually knew Charles, and they kept asking questions when they walked into the cafeteria.

Charles was about to chat with Filch when someone came up from the basement.

"Charles, good morning." Daphne looked very happy when she saw him, "What have you been busy with recently? Why haven't I seen you?"

"Good morning." Charles replied politely, "I've been busy with a lot of things recently."

Filch walked away at this time. Daphne glanced at the notice on the notice board and saw that Charles was leaving, so she followed him and said, "Students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will arrive on Friday. I wonder how their students are doing."

Charles deliberately pinched his chin and said, "Hehe, I think there must be cute girls."

Daphne said angrily, "Is there no beautiful girls in Hogwarts? ”

Charles nodded and said, “Indeed.”

Daphne’s eyes lit up and she asked, “Which girl do you think is pretty?”

Charles answered seriously, “Professor McGonagall, Peeves, Nearly Headless Nick and the Fat Lady all said that she was pretty when she was a student.”

Daphne was silenced by his unconventional approach and asked, “What about now?”

Charles thought for a moment and said, “Now, Qiu Zhang is pretty, and Hermione Granger was pretty too… Ouch!”

Harry and his group followed behind and eavesdropped on their conversation. At the end, Hermione kicked Charles hard in the calf.

Charles took the opportunity to hold his legs and jump towards the cafeteria, leaving Daphne, but Hermione was not going to let him go. During breakfast, Hermione noticed that Ron looked at her from time to time, so she asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Ron said puzzledly, "I don't understand, why did Charles say you were more beautiful before, obviously you are more beautiful now, does he like big front teeth?"

Harry was drinking milk, and he choked so much that he couldn't even eat Voldemort's dinner.

In the Majiazhuang, which was hidden somewhere, Lucius Malfoy asked nervously, "Master, is breakfast not suitable?"

Voldemort shook his head, took the napkin and wiped his mouth gently, and said, "It's okay."

He also knew that it was too much of a stretch to let Lucius make breakfast. He read a book all night last night, and this morning he kept repeating that Professor Slughorn did this, so he couldn't be too demanding.

Voldemort continued to eat his oatmeal while asking, "Lucius, what's the latest news?"

Lucius replied, "The Ministry of Magic has put all those caught in the Quidditch World Cup finals in Azkaban, and many of them are your servants."

Voldemort said, "That's the Ministry's bait, don't worry about them."

"And that Jack Smith is also a bait."

"You can place some traces around Jack Smith for the Ministry of Magic to see, so that they will think your attention is still on him."

"Is there any news in Hogwarts?"

Lucius replied, "Master, Dumbledore announced that the Triwizard Tournament will be held soon."

Voldemort nodded, and when he saw Lucius was a little hesitant, he asked, "What else?"

Lucius asked nervously, "Master, Crouch has heard that there are rumors in Hogwarts recently that you and Charles Smith... have a close relationship."

Although the news from Crouch was a little tactful, Lucius did not dare to ask Voldemort directly if Charles was your son.

Voldemort said angrily, "That's it?"

"How dare he risk exposure and contact you just for this?"

Lucius immediately said: "He may think it will be helpful to that matter."

He made an agreement with Barty Crouch Jr. and asked Crouch to help Draco secretly and send some money to Draco so that the boy would stop selling his aunt and uncle's things. For this reason, the two families Almost got into a fight.

Voldemort thought of the child three years ago who had been killing people since he was a child and had no feelings about it. He was also very interested in dark magic and made himself addicted to the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

So Voldemort said: "Charles and I have a special relationship."

Lucius tried to keep calm.

Voldemort noticed something strange about Lucius and asked, "What did Crouch do?"

Lucius replied nervously: "I asked Crouch to give ten thousand galleons to Draco, and Zabini sent the news. In the end, Charles Smith gave the money to Draco."

Voldemort knew about this and Crouch reported it to him, and he acquiesced, on the condition that Crouch kept it confidential.

He said: "It is possible that Crouch used the Imperius Curse on Charles, which would have been a better cover."

"Tell Crouch not to get too close to Charles to avoid being discovered by Dumbledore."

"He should concentrate on doing his own thing well and not do unnecessary things or worry about unnecessary things."
