Hogwarts: Please graduate soon
Chapter 229
Except for the grand welcome ceremony at the beginning, Mrs. Greengrass's attitude became easy-going after entering the house, and she did not do those fancy things.
Instead, she asked the sisters Astoria and Daphne to take Wayne around to tour the entire castle.
She went to tell the house elves to prepare the dinner.
The entire castle covers an area of about 30 acres (about 180 acres), which is not too big or small in the castle circle, but for the Greengrass family of only three people, it is really too spacious.
The main body of the castle has more than a hundred houses, two side towers, and dozens of acres of gardens and meadows.
Therefore, most areas of the castle are idle, and the long-term activity area is so small.
Back home, Astoria's personality has become much more lively, like a lark, complaining to Wayne about her miserable experience in the past few days.
After returning, she didn’t even have a day to rest. Mrs. Greengrass asked her to make up for the classes she missed due to illness.
She needed to learn etiquette in the morning and receive combat training with her sister in the afternoon.
She couldn’t rest even in the evening. She had to finish some summer homework before she could move freely. Wayne felt a little annoyed.
“Isn’t Mrs. Greengrass too strict?”
“That’s right.” Astoria looked at him pitifully: “Wayne, please say something good for me. If it doesn’t work, take me away.”
“That’s not the case.” Daphne finally couldn’t listen any more and pulled Astoria into her arms in a bad mood.
"Since my sister recovered from her illness, she has been a little...overly active."
"On the night she came back, Astoria blew a hole in the castle wall. My mother arranged this to kill her excess energy..."
Wayne looked at the white-haired loli with empty eyes. Astoria stuck out her tongue embarrassedly:
"Didn't "Zero Six Zero" just learn the Crushing Spell? I just wanted to try it."
Daphne snorted: "Then what about chasing the catkins around the garden the next morning?"
"Oh, sister, stop talking." Astoria blushed and started to act like a spoiled child.
Wayne looked at Astoria, who was already very skilled at acting like a spoiled child, and fell into deep thought.
This girl's personality has changed a lot.
I still remember that when they just met, she was almost scared to tears by him twice in a row. Now she has become so lively again...
It seems that the curse was too repressive. Suddenly the shackles were removed and her temperament rebounded.
It is estimated that after a while, she should return to normal.
In order to change the subject, Astoria took Wayne to her boudoir. The area was not large, only about a thousand feet, and there was a bathroom, a study room, and a cloakroom.
The room was full of Astoria style, with unicorn toys everywhere.Puppet, stickers, and even two unicorn-shaped wooden horses.
The little girl ran to the bed and jumped on it, patted it hard and asked excitedly: "Wayne, come and try it, can you get used to it?"
Daphne was full of black lines.
What kind of invitation is this!
Due to Astoria's invitation, Wayne couldn't refuse it, so he had to go over and try it.
"It's okay, but it's a little too soft. I prefer a hard bed, which is good for my waist."
"Then I'll ask Brin to change it for you."
"No, even if I have to stay for two days, I will definitely sleep in the guest room. Your room is too pink, I'm not used to it."
"......."
Daphne sighed and quietly walked out of the room.
She has realized that her existence is completely redundant.
Damn...Why didn't her mother give her the same beauty as her sister when she gave birth to her.
After visiting the bedroom, Astoria took Wayne to several reception rooms, exhibition halls, restaurants, and finally the library.
This is also the place that makes Wayne most excited.
The Greengrass family has a history of nearly 1,500 years, nearly a thousand years older than Nicolas Flamel. It is conceivable that the family has a deep foundation.
Especially, although this family is usually tepid, it is precisely this low-key attitude that can be passed down steadily to this day, without any natural disasters or man-made disasters, so the preserved documents and books are extremely complete.
Seeing that Wayne ignored her as soon as he entered the library, Astoria pouted, but did not disturb him. Instead, she quietly stayed by Wayne's side, holding her chin with her hand, admiring the boy's appearance of reading.
It was not until the house elf named Brin came to call them for dinner that Wayne put down the book in his hand and walked out of the library.
During dinner, Mrs. Greengrass didn't say much, just listened to Wayne's conversation with her two daughters.
Until the end of the meal, when Astoria wanted to take Wayne away, she drove him away and left the boy alone.
"Mr. Lawrence came this time, is there anything that the Greengrass family needs to do?"
When they parted at the train station, Wayne took the initiative to ask for a visit, and she knew in her heart that the other party must have some purpose.
Mrs. Greengrass was not surprised by this, or felt threatened.
Compared to what she had to pay, she got more.
Even if there was more treasure, it couldn't buy her daughter's health and life, and she had already prepared for this.
Wayne didn't say anything politely, and handed over the plan made by several lobbying group executives to Mrs. Greengrass.
The reason why he chose the Greengrass family was actually that Wayne had considered it from many aspects.
Among the people he knew and had a close relationship with, only Mrs. Greengrass was the most down-to-earth one.
Newt and Nico were too otherworldly., they are not interested in these worldly things, they only love their own life and career.
From another perspective, Nico is French, and Newt is from Dumbledore's faction, which is naturally opposite to the target group he is targeting.
The Greengrass family is just right, with a good relationship with most pure bloods, and has not shown an overly radical stance, and can talk to both sides.
However, Wayne does not have to rely on Mrs. Greengrass, he has a spare tire in his heart.
That is Lucius Malfoy.
The advantage of being a fence-sitter is now reflected, that is, it is easy to be arrogant... No, it is easy to be poached.
At least before Voldemort's resurrection, he only needs to crush the Malfoy family once, and the other party will work for him obediently.
While Wayne was thinking about it, Mrs. Greengrass became more and more frightened, and finally stared at the boy with a complicated expression.
"Who made this plan."
She didn't know how to evaluate this plan...
Influence, cannibalization, invasion, assimilation, control, interlocking, silent.
In the magic world, it is definitely a dimensionality reduction attack, which made her sweat profusely.
Once the bait is bitten, it is not so easy to get rid of it.
"Some Muggle elites." Wayne smiled shyly: "Although they don't understand magic, there is no connection between IQ and magic."
"You are right..." Mrs. Greengrass looked complicated: "Muggles are becoming more and more terrible."
"You don't have to worry so much."
Wayne took a sip of lemon juice, and he frowned because of the sourness. "The reason why I dare to do this is because I have the strength. If it were someone else, they would not be qualified to use this plan."
"You are too ambitious." Mrs. Greengrass sighed.
"You misunderstood me." Wayne retorted seriously: "I am just a child who wants a comfortable living environment."
"It's just..." The boy lowered his head embarrassedly and said embarrassedly:
"I have had a relatively good living condition since I was a child. I have the inheritance of my ancestors and my uncle takes care of me, so I live a relatively comfortable life."
"But after coming to the magic world, I am the only lonely child. No one supports me behind the scenes. It feels weird."
"Since I can't adapt, I can only change this world."
Mrs. Greengrass opened her mouth slightly.
Feelings... It's not you who adapt to this world, but let the world adapt to you?
Such a domineering idea, are you the Dark Lord?
"Mr. Lawrence." Mrs. Greengrass took a deep breath and said slowly: "In theory, you saved Astoria, I can agree to any request you make."
"But this is not a trivial matter. I know you are very talented and have a bright future, but you are still too young after all."
"What will happen in a few years?How about this? After you graduate, I will cooperate with your plan to make the Lawrence family completely established in the magic world. "
"Are you worried that my strength is not enough to support such a huge plan?" Wayne asked calmly without getting angry.
"That's right." Mrs. Greengrass nodded: "But I believe you can do it in the future."
"Please take a look at a memory first." Wayne took out the memory of his battle with Grindelwald again.
This is almost equivalent to his personal profile. With clear records and comparison objects, others can know whether his strength is qualified.
Soon, Mrs. Greengrass, who watched the battle process with the memory helmet, stopped talking.
Wayne thought she still didn't believe it, so he stood up: "If you want to be safer, I can take you to Nurmengard and fight Grindelwald again. It just so happens that I have something to ask him."
"No, no. "Mrs. Greengrass came back to her senses and waved her hands.
"That's not what I meant. I was just too shocked and didn't react for a while." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Wayne actually wanted to take her to find Grindelwald. This is unnecessary!
How could she not know his identity and strength?
The two's evenly matched performance in the battle and the devastating magic made her realize how shallow her understanding of Wayne was at the beginning.
"Mr. Lawrence, I accept your plan." Mrs. Greengrass used honorifics unconsciously.
"I will go to the headquarters of the Daily Prophet tomorrow. Don't worry about the money. I only have one request..."
The next day 0 .......
Wayne stayed in the castle temporarily. Early in the morning, Mrs. Ringgrass went to Diagon Alley via Floo.
The first step of the plan was to control the media.
The Daily Prophet and Witch Weekly were both within the target range.
Some wizards seek wealth, while others seek fame.
If Wayne was the boss of these two large media outlets, Lockhart would have wanted to kneel down when he saw him, and politicians like Fudge would have asked him for favors, using the influence of newspapers to create a positive image for them.
When Wayne saw the energetic Astoria, he remembered the incident at Greengrass House last night. The request of the person made his face look a little strange.
Fu Loli needed to take etiquette lessons in the morning, and Wayne followed her out of curiosity.
The one who was in charge of the lesson was another house elf named Tracy in the castle. She was over a hundred years old and was very proficient in etiquette and history.
After watching for a while, Wayne ran away under Fu Loli's sad eyes.
These things were purely made by the old family to show off their extraordinaryness, which were flashy and impractical.
There were strict requirements for the volume of speaking, the different ways of greeting different people, and the greetings, even bowing, and the amplitude of arm swinging when walking..
I am just bored.
If I have this time, I might as well go to the library and read some books.
Wayne originally thought that he could always see Mrs. Greengrass come back, but in the afternoon, he was pulled out by Astoria.
"Wayne, can you just accompany me? That old man is too fierce, I am scared."
"What are you afraid of? He won't hit you."
"Oh, I am scared when I see him, and he is very rude when he speaks. I feel safe when you are next to me."
Unable to resist Fu Loli's pleading, Wayne could only put down his book and follow her to the training ground.
I saw the old man she mentioned.
"You are late, Greengrass." The old man said in a low voice, with a blue fake eye rolling around, and Astoria hid behind the boy in fear.
Wayne looked at the old man, amazed at Mrs. Greengrass's generosity.
She was so powerful that she could invite this man to be a tutor for the two sisters...[]
With bright blue eyes and scars all over his face, it was no wonder that Astoria was frightened.
A wooden leg made his body lean to one side, and he was holding a thick wooden stick in his hand.
The old man's identity was obvious.
It was Alastor Moody, the greatest Auror in Britain in this century.
For many Death Eaters, his name was more intimidating than Dumbledore. More than half of the people in Azkaban were captured by him, and the injuries on his body were also left in the process of fighting with dark wizards.
All of them were terrible black magic, and even the pharmacists of St. Mungo's could not remove them.
Moody is now able to retire. I really don’t know how Mrs. Greengrass invited him to be a tutor.
Wayne frowned slightly, feeling a sense of being watched. A ball of white light appeared on his body surface, and Moody let out a slight "eh".
His magic eye was blocked.
"Boy, who are you?"
Moody looked at the boy in front of him with an aggressive look, as if he was looking at a suspect.
This is a habit he has developed over the years. His excessive vigilance once made people think that this old man has become abnormal because of his age.
Wayne introduced himself: "Wayne Lawrence, a third-year student of Hufflepuff."
"Lawrence?" Moody's magic eye turned and thought of something.
"I know you. Dumbledore has mentioned you many times. I am Alastor Moody, a former Auror."
"I know you too." Wayne smiled politely: "The title of the strongest Auror, anyone with a little common sense will know."
"Very strange magic." Moody tried many times, but in the end he was unable to break through the layer of white light on Wayne's body, and expressed his approval.
"It seems that Dumbledore is right. You are indeed the most talented student in history, even better than the You-Know-Who."
"Even you have to call him the You-Know-Who?"Wayne looked at him in confusion.
Moody was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, but the ordinary smile on his face became particularly ferocious.
"I'm just afraid of scaring you, kid."
"There is no one in this world that I dare not call out directly, but every time I say it, it always makes people around me terrified."
"Over time, I get used to it."
Moody looked at Wayne with appreciation: "Since you are here, then learn with them. I will teach you some skills to become an Auror."
"Sorry." Wayne looked harmless and smiled gently.
"First of all, I have no intention of becoming an Auror."
"Secondly... I don't think you have anything to teach me."
The smile on Moody's face slowly disappeared.
Sorry for being a little late, there will be another chapter later.
