[HP] If youth has an ageless face

Edwin never expected that the "goodbye" that Darren said would come so quickly.

"I invited Mr. DuPont and Mr. Zabini to dinner tonight, as a thank you for their support in the team." Uriah rushed straight to the stands after training, and he impatiently urged Ai Devon pulled home and reminded him, "Don't talk nonsense like last time!"

Apparently Uriah still remembers the scene where she argued with Darren in Diagon Alley.

"Why did you invite them to your house for dinner?" Edwin was taken aback, "It's obvious that you became a regular because of your strength, okay..."

Yulia glanced at her sympathetically: "Usually I think your EQ is quite high, why do you lose the chain at a critical moment?"

"You invited them to dinner at home for no reason, wouldn't it be too ostentatious?" Edwina vaguely guessed that Uriah probably wanted something from them.

"I'm playing the banner of thanking you, and there's nothing wrong with saying it." Ulea said, "Matthew will come too."

She didn't understand: "Why is he here?"

"First, he is kind to me. Second—" Uriah paused for a moment, "Do you still remember Haydn?"

Haydn!

Although the owner of the name had not been in her sight for many years, Edwin's heart still missed a beat.

"I remember." She replied calmly, "What is he here for?"

She hadn't forgotten the disgusted look Haydn had given her as a child, and how he had intimidated her into remembering her identity.

If he knew what she had done before, I don't know how he would evaluate it.

Edwina smiled sarcastically, while Uriah had already begun to explain: "Now he works in the European Magic Sports Association, and it is said that he has close contacts with many teams in the European continent. Our team intends to Dig a few good seedlings from abroad and come back to cultivate them. Among them, there must be someone to make a bridge, so I would like to introduce Haydn to them. As for Matthew, he has already been appointed as the next captain, and he will hand over the current captain before Christmas. Of course it is necessary to be present at this dinner."

"Wait, you mean Haydn will come too?" Edwin tried his best to hide his panic.

"Yes." Ulea saw her nervousness, "You don't like him?"

"That's right," she readily admitted. "I think he looks down on me."

"Haydn was only in his teens at that time, and he was not very sensible. Now that he has climbed to such a high position, no matter what, for my sake, he will not embarrass you in public." Ulea understood, and quickly comforted, " Besides, you're not easy to bully, are you?"

At this juncture, Edwinla thought that she should not tell Uriah all the trivial and endless conflicts with Haydn before. She nodded and decided to have a fight with Haydn tonight. Keep a safe distance.

Perhaps in order to steady her, Uriah secretly revealed to her while the siblings were preparing dinner.

After next year's Quidditch World Cup, several popular national teams, including Ireland, will undergo a major shake-up.If you can get the support of the team owner, Yulea's chances of being selected will be greatly increased.

"Do you want DuPont and the others to speak well for you in front of the coaches of the national team?"

"If this is the case, things will be easy to handle." Ulea sighed, "You know, I have only been a regular for about half a year, and the team is definitely not willing to let me go in such a short period of time. So..."

Edwinra understood: The Three Lions certainly hope that such a strong player can stay, but Uriah has high ambitions. As a person who dreams of winning the Quidditch World Cup, he must not be happy to stay in a mere England team inside.Although Uriah is still young and the future is full of all possibilities, if she misses this opportunity, she doesn't know how long she will have to wait for the next selection.

"I hope that DuPont will allow me to participate in the selection. This will save a lot of trouble." Ulea said, "If I forcefully leave the team, it will be fine if I am selected, but if I am not selected, I will be in trouble again."

The European region implements a unified Quidditch management system.When each national team selects new players, if the original team is willing to actively recommend players for selection, once selected, the player’s contract will be automatically transferred to the national team that selected him, and after he retires from the national team. Return to the original team as a coach.

Ulea is worried about the second situation.If the Three Lions refuse to let him go, he can only unilaterally terminate the contract to participate in the selection.But in that case, if he loses the election, Yulia will have to pay his liquidated damages.For the Davis family, which has just been revived, this amount of money is not easy to come by.

"Have you thought it through?" Edwin asked sternly, "First, you may not be able to convince the two of them. Second, what should you do if you lose the selection unfortunately? Third, suppose you are really accepted by a certain team. If you like it, then you will definitely be the one with the lowest qualifications in the team, if someone trips you, have you thought about how to deal with it?"

"Anyway, I want to give it a try. If I lose the election, at best I will be ridiculed by others, and at worst I will change my career. If I am really selected, I have not experienced the days of being looked down upon by others. Now I'm only worried that Mr. Dupont won't let him go, the key issue is that I don't want to offend him, you know, he helped me a lot after I joined the team, and it's actually because I didn't do it properly enough."

"But don't miss this opportunity. If he is willing to help you again this time, we will repay you twice in the future." Edwin said resolutely, "You have been delayed for a year or two, so don't worry about this opportunity." Everything must be grasped. Regarding the issue of liquidated damages, I think we can consider selling this house...By the way, why do you only consider DuPont? What about Zabini?"

"Didn't I tell you last time that the actual person in charge of the team is DuPont." Ulea explained, "Zabini's ambition is not here. He only comes to visit occasionally and collects bonuses every year. , never really managed the team."

Ulea's words became more and more chaotic, and Edwin raised a hand: "Then what's the relationship between Dupont and Zabini? Since you invited Zabini, but you didn't ask him what he meant, wouldn't it offend people?" No matter how bad he is, he is the real owner of your team."

"DuPont and this little Mr. Zabini are teachers, friends and partners. Since I invited Zabini, of course I will ask him what he thinks. You don't have to worry about that." Ulea said, "And, I Another reason not to offend DuPont is that he manages more than just one team."

"It's also like your team. Others contribute, is he in charge of management?"

"Yes."

Edwin La finally figured out what this Mr. Dupont did.At the same time, comparing the two, she had to admit that even in the heyday of the Davis family, their financial resources might not be able to compete with the Zabini family. After all, Mr. Davis has always been in charge of things by himself.

"All in all, my main purpose tonight is to convince Mr. Dupont." Uriah urged again, "As for you, just don't anger Mr. Zabini."

Edwina glanced at him.After Yulia figured out the relationship between Mr. Zabini and her, he might be the one who was furious.

There was a good atmosphere at the table.

Mr. DuPont, Haydn, Matthew and Uriah chatted happily, and even Darren interjected a few words from time to time.

Fortunately, she had mistakenly thought Darren was a taciturn bookworm before, and Edwina couldn't help but stare at the dinner plate and secretly smiled, and then quickly put it away.

This feeling is a little strange.

Edwina thought.

When she saw Darren today, her heart suddenly became less peaceful.There was a burst of soft and swollen emotions in the chest, up and down, like a pot of unsteady honey bubbling sweet and greasy bubbles.This is not the tension and excitement of hiding secrets.

"Edwin La."

She quickly straightened her expression.Uriah was staring at her, and their conversation stopped at some point.

"What are you giggling about?" Uriah asked, without any reproach in his words.

"I remembered something interesting in school." Edwina responded vaguely.Darren turned his head squarely and smiled at her where no one else could see.

Fortunately, the candlelight in the dining room was orange, otherwise Uriah would definitely be able to see the blush on her face.

"Mr. Dupont is asking you something."

"I'm sorry," she hurriedly apologized to the honored guest, "What did you just say?"

"Uriah told me you're going to be in the sixth grade soon," asked Mr. Dupont. "What do you want to do next, Miss Davis?"

A trite question.Edwin breathed a sigh of relief, and replied without thinking, "Maybe it's the spellbreaker from Gringotts."

"Good ambition, Ms. Davis." Mr. DuPont laughed, "But I heard that most of the spellbreakers will be stationed abroad. It's not the same as going on vacation. It's very hard work."

Edwina received the look from Ulea: "However, this kind of life is definitely much more interesting than staying in the office, and it is worth the hard work."

"I thought girls of your age would prefer colorful things like banquets."

"That's true, Mr. Dupont." Edwin said with a smile, "But in my opinion, banquets and jewelry will never go away, and some things are hard to buy."

"for example?"

"I don't know, Mr. DuPont." Edwin smiled innocently, "I can't think of any practical examples right now, but if you insist on asking... such as time?"

"Ulea, your sister is much more interesting than what you describe." Mr. Dupont looked at her and gave her a fair evaluation.

"So, Miss Davis," Matthew looked at several people, "please take this as a joke. However, between the inexhaustible gold coins and the ability to freeze time, which one would you choose?"

Everyone at the table was looking at her, and Edwina knew that the conversation had gone beyond Uriah's expectations.She thought for a moment: "I either want it, or I don't want it."

There was a moment of silence.

"You are very ambitious, Miss Davis." Matthew broke the silence.

"That's not true." Edwin pulled a slight smile, "I just don't like to give in. What's more, you have to get what you want, otherwise it will be cheaper for others for no reason?"

Mr. Du Pont couldn't help asking: "Isn't enough enough good?"

"You don't understand, Mr. DuPont." Haydn laughed shortly, and there was hostility in his eyes that Edwin La was no stranger to. "My cousin has never been a person who likes to stop when enough is enough."

"Most people who like moderation have become mediocre people, but I am not a thing in the pool." Edwina smiled, and his eyes flicked from his face.
