Hogwarts: Please Graduate Soon

Because of Sirius, the castle underwent two large-scale investigations.

Filch sealed all the secret passages he discovered.

This has caused a lot of trouble to many young wizards who like to go out for night walks.

But with the Marauder's Map in hand, Wayne could still find several secret passages leading outside the castle, and also told the girls how the Japanese paint was affected.

Late at night, passing through Hagrid's cabin, Wayne arrived at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where Penelo was sitting on the wooden pillar waiting for his arrival.

After meeting, it was a warm hug.

Wayne sniffed the fragrance in his nose and nodded matter-of-factly: "It feels like an affair.

Penelope rolled her eyes at the young man charmingly: "I don't feel anything at all. If someone is a few years older, it should be almost the same."

"Then I'll trouble you to wait a few years, and I'll make sure you're satisfied by then."

The senior covered her mouth and chuckled.

In fact, Wayne is already very tall, close to 1.8 meters tall, and with his handsome face, he blends in the crowd and looks like a fifth or sixth grade student.

But after knowing the boy's true age, Penello always felt guilty.

Are you eating young grass from an old cow?

But thinking about Najib...she felt much better again.

"What's the reason for asking me to come here in such a hurry?"

The surrounding wind and snow were very strong. Wayne used strong winds to sweep away the snow and erected a barrier, which made the noise much smaller.

"I don't plan to come to school next school year, what do you think?" Penello said softly.

"Not coming to school?" Wayne was a little surprised, but he quickly understood what she meant.

"Do you want to do an internship?"

"That's right." Penello nodded and admitted.

"That's great. Do you want me to introduce you to an internship? Or are you planning to return to the Firebolt Boutique?"

After Hogwarts students reach seventh grade, they have generally learned everything they can learn. Most of the entire school year is spent reviewing and preparing for the final NEWTS exam.

It is common for some outstanding students to find a job before graduation and can also apply for internships.

For example, Wayne once heard Cedric say that there was a senior student at Hufflepuff who was selected by the Auror Office in the sixth grade because of her outstanding talent and began to undergo specialized training.

And in the seventh grade, because Aurors had to reach an 'E' in Potions, they had to go back to school and continue studying with Snape, which almost failed her.

Crazy.

"Do you really not want to see me?" The senior looked at the boy sadly.

A woman's mind is really strange sometimes. She obviously wanted Wayne to support her decision, but when she saw that he agreed so decisively, she started to feel a little emotional again.

"Of course not." Wayne hugged her: "If you stay in school, you will probably be elected as the student council president next semester. Plus Astoria and the others are also "I don't have much time to spend with you. ."

"It's better to just stay outside and I'll come back to find you after the holiday. This way, you can have a sense of distance and a sense of freshness. Isn't it good?"

In front of Penelo, it is obvious that Wayne is a scumbag, which is an invisible tacit understanding between the two.

Regarding his affairs, Penelo should be the person who knows the most besides Nagini.

"You can talk." The senior sister rolled her eyes at the boy and stopped worrying about this issue.

If you think about it carefully, it's quite exciting.

"I don't want to intern at Firebolt Boutique anymore. Leaning into Wayne's arms, Penello said softly:

"There are too few things to do there to provide exercise."

For a monopoly-level product like Firebolt, her role in the store is no different from that of an ordinary store clerk.

After learning everything I could, I lost interest there.

"Is that so..." Wayne thought for a moment, and then said: "How about the Ministry of Magic? You can get an internship in the Department of Transportation or the Department of International Magical Cooperation."

"Forget it, the International Magical Cooperation Department is not suitable."

I thought that Percy would also go to work there later, and Crouch also had a strict personality.

He thought it would be better to go to Mrs. Greengrass.

"Then I'll listen to you, let's go to the Transportation Department." Penello agreed softly.

It is already rare for ordinary people to get into the Ministry of Magic, so there is no chance for them to be picky.

What's more, the Department of Transportation is still a popular department.

"I will go to Professor Flitwick next week to apply for an internship."

"DEL."

Wayne played with Penello's white little hands: "Even if you work, you can't fall behind in your magic studies. I will check your progress regularly.'

Penello nodded seriously: "I know that strength is the foundation of everything."

Before meeting Wayne, Penelo actually didn't have much feelings about these things.

On the contrary, she felt that blood was the passport to the wizarding world.

Even if Muggle-born wizards are not openly discriminated against, they still have little room for development.

Take a look at the top management of the Ministry of Magic today. Fudge is not from one of the 28 pure-blood families, but he is still a pure-blood.

Weasley family, Crouch family, Bones family, Greengrass family

These people still occupy the best resources.

But the young man in front of her was the one she admired.

But step by step, she broke her inherent knowledge.

What about Muggle-born?

Still able to gain recognition from professors and principals, all deans maintained an equal attitude when communicating with Wayne, "Even Dumbledore is no exception.

Doesn't Slytherin advocate pure blood?

But who dares to say in front of Wayne that their bloodline is nobler than his?

Since signing the contract with the Round Table, Penello can clearly feel that he has made huge improvements in all aspects.

She knew that she would definitely not be able to reach Wayne's level, but at least she would have to become stronger than most purebloods so that she could slap them in the face.

The two lingered for a while, and then Sui En asked Gardevoir to send them back.

If I didn't go to Hogsmeade tomorrow, I probably wouldn't have to come back tonight.

the next day.

It seemed that they knew that today was an open day, and the wind and snow outside also cooperated and became smaller.

Students in third grade and above wrapped themselves up tightly and walked out of the campus happily under the envious eyes of Xiao Douding, who was in first and second grade.

Astoria pestered Wayne for a long time in the morning, trying to get him to take her with him, but she was ruthlessly suppressed.

Today he is going with Qiu and Hermione. He is running out of energy and has no energy to take care of the naughty child.

Walking on a country road, Hermione was complaining to Wayne that Crookshanks had become increasingly difficult to find recently.

Obviously I have a pet, but I have almost no sense of involvement.

Usually when he is hungry, he will go to find Wayne. When he is full, he will run out to play, and he will not be seen in the wind for three days.

If you want to pet a cat, it all depends on the mood of the owner.

It's been even more extreme recently. Hermione hasn't seen her cat for a whole week.

But Wayne does know what Crookshanks has been up to lately.

It has become good friends with Sirius and always runs to the Shrieking Shack.

Not far behind the three of them, Norman and Toby pulled a lot of little badgers together mysteriously.

"Let me tell you, last time we came to Hogsmeade, we met a big black dog, who was very smart!"

"How smart can you be?" Hannah curled her lips disdainfully.

"I can do backflips, catch mice, and do whatever I'm told. If you don't believe me, ask Wayne. He even feeds me a lot of snacks."

In order to increase credibility, Toby also moved Wayne out.

Now everyone is interested.

Norman said loudly: "If any of you encounter that black dog, tell me and Toby quickly. We are fully prepared this time. We must let it perform peeing!"

As he spoke, he took out a steaming bag from his backpack.

Inside was the steak that the two men had gone to the kitchen to get from the elf before going out. It looked very appetizing.

Seeing how well prepared he was, the little badgers finally believed him and said they would keep an eye out for them.

Many people are also ready to give it a try to see how smart this dog is.

As a Hufflepuff, it is the most basic operation to always have snacks with you. Toby and Norman actually brought them with them last time, but they finished them before they met the black dog.

Half an hour later.

The three of them arrived at Hogsmeade.

As Christmas approaches, this wizarding village has also changed its style. Thatched cottages and shops are covered with a thick layer of snow, and every door has a garland of holly.

Outside many stores, there are evergreen trees decorated with lights and decorations. A small box hanging on the treetop is a small gift, and customers and students passing by can take one for free.

Wayne took one down and opened it to see that it contained a chocolate ball, Hermione's contained a piece of candy, and "Qiu's contained a small bright silver ball.

Although there are still more than ten days left before boxing-day (the first day after Christmas is the sales day, I don’t know how to translate it), today is the last time the little wizards come to the village this year, and the discounts in the stores are also very large. .

In fact, many store owners are wondering.

Since two years ago, it seems that the purchasing power of this group of students has been plummeting.

Could it be that the pocket money given by parents has become less?

Looking at the red discount signs all over the street, Qiu and Hermione's desire to buy was completely aroused.

Wayne became their little follower, following them in and out of various stores.

The place where Hermione spent the most money was a small bookstore, while Qiu spent a lot of money on a potions store, which sold a new series of skin care products.

Although there may be no one in this world who has a higher level of alchemy than Wayne.

But as long as there is a glimmer of hope to make herself more beautiful, Qiu Ye is still willing to try again.

Two and a half hours later, Hermione and Qiu finally felt tired, walking on the busy streets, their little faces flushed with cold.

...........

"Let's find a place to sit for a while and have a meal by the way." Qiu suggested.

"How about the Three Broomsticks?" Hermione put her hand into Wayne's big hand to keep warm: "We didn't go there last time.

"I think it's okay." Wayne nodded, "After all, it's not appropriate for three of us to go to Mrs. Puddifu's Tea House."

The two girls gave him a blank stare.

The three of them arrived at the Three Broomsticks Bar. It was still early, there were not many people here, and half of the seats were empty.

The proprietress, Ms. Rosmerta, was chatting with a wizard behind the bar. She has a graceful figure, charming eyebrows, and good skin that is not suitable for European and American women of this age.

After seeing Wayne, Ms. Rosmerta's beautiful eyes lit up and she waved to him quickly.

"Little Wayne, come here quickly and sit here with me."

Wayne had no choice but to lead the girls over.

Hermione was so angry that she asked in a low voice: "Are you familiar with the boss lady?"

"I'm a big customer." Wayne's expression remained unchanged: "That's a VIP who has applied for the card."

"You also have a card at the bar

?" Hermione was even more speechless.

Last time he and Wayne went to Bee Duke Candy Store, they got preferential treatment. How come they still have it at Three Broomsticks?

Qiu pursed his lips and snickered: "He directly saved 500 galleons in the Three Broomsticks last year, and he doesn't know how much he has used."

"It should be almost spent." Wayne tilted his head and thought for a while.

"So fast?" Qiu was a little surprised.

"Who made us Hufflepuff?" Wayne said something that made the two of them unclear.

As a Hufflepuff, it's common to have late-night snacks.

........00

And how can you have a late-night snack without a drink?

So Three Broomsticks’ butterbeer became the best choice.

Every time Wayne doesn't eat alone, he often invites his roommates and other little badgers, so the consumption goes up.

Sometimes he would buy some drinks containing real alcohol, but he would not give them to the younger students, but would only drink some with Cedric.

The three of them sat down, and before Wayne could speak, Rosmerta brought a piece of butter beer, placed it in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Here you go, order whatever you want."

"By the way, why didn't you come to the last open day?"

Wayne divided the menus between the two women: "I went to Mrs. Puddifu's Tea House with my girlfriend."

Rosmerta raised his eyebrows, looked at the girls around him jokingly, smiled and said nothing.

A few people casually ordered snacks and drinks. While waiting, there were gradually more people in the bar.

"Wayne!" Harry, Ronald, and Neville also came and came over after seeing Wayne.

"How do you feel?" Wayne asked with a smile.

"Great." Harry smiled happily: "As interesting as Diagon Alley."

"Well, let's talk about it when we get back. You guys hurry up and find a seat. It should be full in a while."

Without saying a few words, Harry and the others left and came to the fireplace, which was blocked by a Christmas tree.

Suddenly a cool breeze blew in, and the door was opened again.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick walked in under the wind and snow, followed by the tall Hagrid, who was having an intimate conversation with someone.

Many people in the bar recognized the man's identity and greeted him one after another.

"Minister Fudge."

"Hello, Minister Fudge."

Fudge responded with a smile one by one, and looked around. There happened to be a few Aurors at the bar who had finished eating, and left after saying something to Fudge.

Several professors and Fudge also happened to see Wayne and the others and came over.

"Oh, I'm so glad to see you, Wayne." Hagrid greeted Wayne warmly and wanted to sit next to Wayne, but Hui Fudge beat him to it.

"Mr. Lawrence, we are really destined. I didn't expect to meet you here." Fudge's smile was more enthusiastic than before.

"Hello, Mr. Minister." Wayne also nodded and said hello to the other two professors.

Professor McGonagall glanced at the drinks in front of the three of them, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"You are much more obedient than the Weasleys. Last time I met them here, the two of them ordered a large glass of firewhiskey, which made me really angry."

In this context, there can be no other Weasley except Gemini.

"McGonagall, you can't blame me for this. If I don't sell to those two boys, I may not be able to continue my business." Rosmer came over and said exaggeratedly.

It was obvious that the relationship between the two was quite good. If ordinary people dared to sell alcoholic drinks to minors, Professor McGonagall would have gone crazy.

A few people quickly ordered drinks, and Fudge also invited Ms. Rosmerta to bring something and sit down and chat together for a while.

The landlady readily agreed.

Wayne originally didn't want to get involved in the chatter among the adults who came into the group, so he just said a few words to Hagrid before preparing to leave after eating.

But Fudge didn't give him this chance and kept dragging him to talk. .
