HP's Platinum Temptation

Since I entered school, I have only had one correspondence with Old Lister.Clarence believes that the other party will not find him unless necessary.In other words, this letter means that something unexpected happened.

Dear Mr. Lambert:

I'm sorry to bother you with the letter during your study time, but it's urgent, and I hope you can reply me as soon as possible.

Originally, your arrangement was to keep us low-key and mysterious in the first few years, and to develop the peripheral families of the alliance without being discovered as much as possible.

But yesterday I discovered a little 'little surprise'.On Tuesday, I held a small banquet in the manor, and met with several family patriarchs who kept in touch with me, and exchanged some of the latest developments of each family.With my consent, a newly joined small family brought the patriarch of another family as a recent big gain.Our hospitality seems to please new guests very well.

It is a pity to receive a letter in the evening from the introducer, whose new guests had inadvertently informed old Mr. Medici of our little activity.Although our banquet probably only revealed the title of 'Business Alliance', judging from the reaction of the Medici family at that time, and the internal situation observed by the 'old friend'.There is a high probability that our alliance has attracted the attention of the old Medici.

I informed His Excellency the Duke of this situation overnight.It was discovered that the Medici family has recently conducted investigations against the Lambert family.According to our speculation, the other party wants to find out more participants through secret investigations, and divide our peripheral members before we form a formal comprehensive alliance.

In view of the above, the result of the discussion between His Excellency the Duke and myself is to advance our plan and unite all members before the Medici finds out more information about us.Our decision to voluntarily expose must disrupt the rhythm of the Medici's undercover investigation.

Thank you for giving us a great opportunity to hide the biggest decision makers in the league.We have notified all members of the alliance that through your competition with Mr. Medici for the grade leader in the academy, the Lambert family will be elected as the external leader of the alliance.All the families with students in school have already notified their heirs. After seeing the package you received this morning, which was specially marked with the logo of the Business Alliance, they will take the initiative to join the camp to support you.

We have made some temporary arrangements outside the campus, and Miss Heyman will report the details to you.I hope you will reply to our new adjustment strategy after understanding the situation.

Yours faithfully Enoch Lister

Clarence frowned tightly at the very beginning of the letter.As his gaze moved down, the expression on his face became serious.In the process of reading, the letter in Clarence's hand was slightly deformed due to unconscious force.

He was hit three times in one day, and this result made Clarence's mood drop to the bottom in an instant.

First, he passed Theodore in the principal's office and spoke first, then Daphne complained that her performance was not in line with her age, and finally, the most important thing was the exposure of the business alliance.

He had every reason to believe that the sudden turn of events had originated in him.If it weren't for his eye-catching performance in school, the Medici family would not have deliberately investigated the Lambert family to trace the business alliance.Or it can be said that the cause of the matter was not his eye-catching performance, but that the initial layout of this matter was not cautious and perfect enough.

The above facts made Clarence very frustrated.

In his previous life, Clarence felt that things like time travel would never happen to him.But the so-called rebirth and crossing will be a very good opportunity.If you are reborn or time-traveled, you will be able to better control your life and change your destiny.

Now that he was really given such an opportunity, he suddenly felt that he couldn't do the perfect performance like an actor following the script.

"What's wrong? Did something happen? Your complexion is very bad." Theodore, who was studying written work with Daphne, only noticed the change in Clarence's expression later than Jeffrey.He sat down next to Clarence with a worried face, lowered his voice and asked.

"Something happened to the business alliance." Clarence summed it up succinctly.Because Theodore, like Terrence, only knows a general idea of ​​Clarence's operations in the wizarding world, and there is no way to explain the specific things to them.

"It's a bad situation? Is there a way to deal with it?"

"It's not out of control, but it's facing a critical choice. It's not irreversible." Because of the reminder of Theodore's question, Clarence realized that now is not the time for him to feel lost.Responding as soon as possible is the most important thing to do.

Old Rist's observation ability can be said to be very keen, and the measures he took at the first time can be said to be very simple and effective.Knowing that the Lambert family occupies a dominant position in the alliance, there are only five carefully selected by Clarence.Except for the Hall family who were asked to conceal their identities, and their own family, there were three others.Their interests are already tightly tied to the business alliance, so they will not want to expose the Lambert family and destroy the overall plan.So the other families only know that the leader is among the four families (the Hall family is in the dark), so it doesn't matter if they don't know who the real leader is.

Old Rist's method was to take advantage of Clarence's performance in the academy to take the initiative to disclose some of the member families of the business alliance, and to recommend the Lambert family as the external leaders of the alliance.This cover-up tactic can be very effective when done well.

Seeing that Clarence fell into a state of quick thinking, Theodore stepped aside and called the other three children who had been attracted by the brothers to return to their work.

Before lunch, the five of them made a trip together to the owl shed before returning to the auditorium for dinner.

During the flight lesson in the afternoon, the attitudes of Baker and the others had changed very obviously. They gathered in a small circle centered on Clarence and chatted happily.Jeffrey looked like a villain, and repeatedly provoked Lorenzo, who was obviously much smaller than them, with his eyes.If it wasn't for Clarence's constant pull, maybe he would have gone from staring to verbal attack.

As long as it comes to hitting Lorenzo, Jeffrey seems to have stuffed all the etiquette and upbringing he learned from his father into the dog's belly.For the umpteenth time, a bystander wondered how much the two had formed.

☆ ★ ☆

At nine o'clock in the morning on Saturday, the first public class of the Violet Club started on time.

It is said that Theodore was so nervous that he didn't close his eyes the night before, but when he appeared the next day, he couldn't tell from his appearance at all.The performance during class can also be described as perfect.

Although it was his first time as a teacher, he well integrated his own experience, knowledge and the complete lecture notes provided by Clarence.In terms of teaching style, he imitated and interpreted his former grammar teacher, Mr. Norman, in his own way, making the whole class interesting without losing interest.It can be predicted in advance from the continuous applause and laughter that this time the event will achieve success beyond expectations.

The duration of the open class is expected to be one hour, followed by 10 minutes of free question time, and finally Theodore will briefly introduce the purpose and purpose of the Violet Club in a few minutes.

However, the time for free questions, which had already been calculated, was still not enough, which not only took up the time for the final introduction, but also made Theodore unable to get out after class, surrounded by water.

The enthusiasm of the crowd obviously exceeded the expectations of the members. Except for a few senior students who originally planned to join the club, many junior students took the initiative to ask for the introduction materials of the Violet Club after class.There were quite a few students who asked to join on the spot, so that the first swearing-in ceremony after the public class was postponed to the weekend of the next week.Before that, I am afraid that several existing members will have to spend a lot of time processing the applications sent by other students.

In the middle of the class, Clarence, who was sitting at the end of the classroom, noticed that Dumbledore and Professor Meade quietly came to listen for a while, and then left quickly.And when they finished all the finishing work of the activities and left the classroom, Professor Meade appeared outside the classroom and called Theodore away alone.It was already dinner time when they saw Theodore again.

A few first-year students gathered in the activity room to do their weekend homework exchanged puzzled looks, and they couldn't understand the behavior of the seventh-grade students beside them humming brisk songs and reading books.

"Hill, what's the matter with you?" Under the instigation of his friends, Clarence put down his homework and approached Theodore.

"Huh? What?" The cheerful humming stopped, and Theodore looked up blankly.

"What's wrong with you? You behaved very differently than usual. Although you usually like silly music, today's level is too exaggerated. Did Professor Meade tell you something?"

"Hey, do you want to know?" Theodore smiled tremblingly: "Then I won't tell you!"

Clarence's hair was black, and he felt the urge to shake his fist, but he restrained it.In Theodore's face, 'Come on, come on, I won't tell you, you bite me! 'When it comes to facial expressions, if you are serious with him, you will lose.He will definitely be doubly frightened.

"Forget it, I can ask Professor Meade. Besides, if you hadn't laughed so stupidly, we couldn't stand it anymore. Do you think I would care? Hmph!" Mr. Lambert simply gave up asking , Go back and study your homework.

"Oh, don't, don't go, I said, can't I say it?" Theodore grabbed Clarence's hand very discouraged: "I said, I'm your brother anyway, can't you let me? You Don't you think you treat Taylor and me differently? Show some respect and worship, okay?"

"Respect is always there, let's forget about admiration, let's talk about it when you do something that makes me admire." Clarence refused without hesitation: "Don't change the topic, do you want to talk about it or not?"

"Say! I'll say it now! Just now, Professor Meade asked me to go and said that after seeing my performance in the public class today, he thought I had great potential. Then he said that he was getting old, and asked me if I would like to be his teaching assistant after graduation. .”
