This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

"You are really..."

Professor McGonagall looked at Andrew who was reporting, and didn't know what to say for a while.

It was too outrageous - Andrew had been nagging for a price of one-third for an entire afternoon, and didn't give in at all.

"It's definitely not possible to negotiate, but I'm a student..."

Andrew didn't care.

Although there is a saying that it's not good even if you are a beast - but the professor over there didn't turn hostile.

This was outrageous - so he simply followed.

Anyway, everyone was communicating privately, and it was not bad to delay it for a day in exchange for a higher share.

"Continue in the evening... Don't hold on to one-third... It's too much..."

After a moment of helplessness, the professor asked Andrew to relax a little - it's not like he was talking to an enemy, the three companies are friends no matter what, and they can't play such a shameless thing.

——

So continue in the evening.

Professor Franz greeted Andrew with a relaxed expression, as if the quarrel in the afternoon didn't exist at all.

"Look at the starry sky. It's rare. We have also begun to use our own lamps. The lamps you make are very good, but they are really a pollution to astronomy."

"That's another matter, Professor Franz. Besides, telescopes have been under development."

"That's right. Although the progress of telescopes has slowed down a lot after the emergence of the confidentiality law, it is still improving overall."

The two walked and looked at the starry sky, as if they had no conflicts in the afternoon.

"I am the astronomy professor here. How is Taylor's astronomy?"

? ? ?

We negotiated and chatted. In the afternoon, I admit that I was a little shameless and used my student status to cheat, but you can't say anything uncomfortable.

But Andrew knew very well that although astronomy is not like mathematics, you can't say you don't know, but it is easy to make stars if you answer randomly.

That's even more embarrassing.

Fortunately, he has common sense of astronomy on the other side.

The use of wizards' astronomy is to understand the composition of the world and lay the foundation for later divination-and some mystical things will be used.

As for Muggle astronomy, that's another feeling.

"Fortunately, look at the star over there, it's the North Star, yes, Muggles call it that too."

Andrew pointed to the distant star from afar.

Professor Franz's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal - Durmstrang is a thorough pure-blood faction, and does not accept any Muggle-born wizards. After the implementation of the Statute of Secrecy, there is even less.

"Ah, the North Star, a basic subject."

"Yes, the North Star, and then there can be an angle confirmed, let me think about today's date - yes, if you calculate it this way..."

Andrew recalled, but couldn't remember it for a while.

After all, it's been too long since I put it down - and at that time I only knew a little bit of it for interest.

I didn't calculate it at that time, and now it's been so long...

"What are you doing? Student Taylor?"

Professor Franz smiled and watched Andrew's performance - it was too shallow, he was not very happy in the afternoon, so he thought about it for a long time before thinking about this question.

Use the professor's identity to disgust the other party.

Excellent results.

"Ah, sorry, Professor Franz."

Andrew gave up, but it was not a big deal - it just led to the concession the professor mentioned.

"I tried to calculate the location of Durmstrang, but I didn't quite understand the formula, so I made a fool of myself."

He said honestly, and planned to report according to Professor McGonagall's price list.

"Calculate the location, haha... Impossible, the location of Durmstrang is very well kept secret."

"But the stars are over there, the Muggles have a very effective calculation method, just look at the stars or the sun, and you can figure it out through the calculation of certain data. You also know Professor Franz, the stars are over there."

Andrew smiled, he was ready to give in.

"Yes, the stars are over there."

Professor Franz said happily - great, a win.

At least I didn't disgust this little boy from Hogwarts, and the next step is victory.

This sentence is good - the stars are over there.

Huh?

His face turned pale all of a sudden.

The stars are over there!

Merlin's socks!

He is a professor of astronomy! How come he has never thought of this problem!

Damn, what did the Muggles come up with after the Statute of Secrecy came out! Using stars to determine longitude and latitude? That means that the damn magic protection is exposed in front of the stars!

This...

Although he was not willing to admit it at all, his years of teaching experience and understanding of the stars made him realize the possibility after being enlightened.

"Sorry, Mr. Taylor, I'm afraid I have something urgent and can't continue to talk with you."

He bowed solemnly, "Thank you for the generosity of Hogwarts. I think I have figured it out. This is really, very grateful. Please allow me to say goodbye."

Professor Franz turned around and left quickly, leaving Andrew in a daze.

No way!

Do you really not realize the troublesome part of this damn problem?

Your position has been known as the first secret for so many years, and even the starry sky is real?

I thought you would create a bunch of illusions or offset the starry sky or something!

All expectations are ruined - really, although the Muggles did not come up with it until after the Statute of Secrecy appeared, you Durmstrang are too pure-blooded.

Andrew shook his head - but he had no intention of finding out the other party's location.

Even if he told Professor McGonagall, the professor would not allow him to find it.

The direction of everyone's competition is not this - it's not a business war, and it's not reliable to snatch the official seal and expose the coordinates.

'I'm afraid I can't give in. I guess the other party will give in tomorrow. After all, everyone has to save face. '

Andrew sighed and went back to prepare to report to Professor McGonagall.

——

"Coordinates?"

"Oh, yes, there is this, I remember, but I never thought of it - Durmstrang is known as the school that can best protect its own location, but it didn't prevent this?"

Professor McGonagall's expression management was completely out of control.

She seemed to be unable to hold back her laughter.

"You did the right thing. You should tell them about this problem. We are competitors as well as friends."

"We can't reveal their positions, but I'm afraid Karkaroff will have to pay a lot. He will pay one third."

The professor took a long time to control his emotions. "You will receive a special thank you. Don't be surprised or refuse. Durmstrang charges tuition. You don't have to worry about them not being able to pay."

Of course, Durmstrang's scholarship is higher than Hogwarts's - it's because they have money.

Andrew agreed with a smile - as long as it's not excessive, the negotiations here will be stable.

It's really a pleasure to get the work done on the first day of the business trip.
