I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 381

c378 Encounter with Fudge

Ian finished speaking.

A blush appeared on Hermione’s face. Although the two of them had almost slept in the same bed when they traveled to Egypt before, it could be said that except for the final breakthrough, they had done everything else they could do.

Logically speaking, she knew everything…but when things came to a close, Hermione still felt nervous for no reason.

At this moment, Hermione seemed to be under a spell. She didn’t make any move, she just looked at Ian with mist in her eyes. It was only the moment she was held back that her eyes widened again.

“You… wait… the drawer… bring it here!” Hermione struggled to make her final protest, while looking at the bedside unconsciously.

Ian knew exactly what was in the bedside drawer, nothing more than the distance between people. But…how can it be used when things come to a head, especially for the first time.

“Using that thing is cheating. I never cheat in exams…”

Faced with Ian’s absurd reasoning, Hermione still had the heart to retort, but soon she had no intention to speak anymore.

A slight sense of strangeness kept invading her thoughts.

Due to nervousness, Hermione couldn’t help but clenched her hands tightly, and every toe of her smooth feet hidden under the blanket was tightly clasped together.

“uh-huh……”

…

Magic is really magical, a simple ‘silence’ can cut off all the noise. Even if you are in a busy city, you can still enjoy the ultimate tranquility.

Similarly, even if you are hiding in your room and doing renovations, you won’t worry about disturbing your neighbors.

After one hour……

The fight just now left both of them out of breath. Especially Hermione, whose face was obviously sweaty and red.

Ian leaned against the bed and looked quietly at his girlfriend who was a little limp in his arms.

At this moment, he was also silently reminiscing…

After all, in the match just now, both of them suffered losses for the ‘first time’. If he hadn’t secretly fired a ‘recovery’ shot at him in the end, they would have been able to fight at a 50-50 level.

“It’s great to know magic…” Ian couldn’t help but secretly rejoice.

God knows what Hermione learned in the dormitory. She obviously had no practical experience, but she had an astonishingly solid theoretical foundation.

After a brief period of inexperience, she was quickly able to turn all that theoretical knowledge into practical skills.

“What kind of magic are you talking about?” Although Hermione was a little tired, her hearing was not affected, especially in this quiet atmosphere, they could clearly hear each other’s heartbeats.

“Don’t be so curious and go to bed quickly. Don’t forget to go shopping in Diagon Alley today. There are more than a hundred items.”

Ian leaned down and lightly stamped Hermione’s forehead.

…

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, Ian was woken up by the itching between his nose. He opened his eyes dimly and saw Hermione looking at him with a smile on her face, and the ends of her hair in her hand also silently acknowledged. The prank just now.

Ian glanced at the clock on the wall and said speechlessly: “Don’t make trouble! It’s only half past seven.”

Hearing this, Hermione immediately retorted: “What’s going on at 7:30? Do you know how much we have to buy today?”

“No matter how much you buy, you still won’t miss this time in the morning…”

Finally, under Hermione’s repeated emphasis, Ian reluctantly sat up from the bed.

In the winter morning, ask others to get up early…

This is Hermione. If it were anyone else, he would cast a transformation spell and turn into an alarm clock that would quietly run for two hours. At least he would have to learn the concept of time first.

…

December 24th, the second day of Christmas break at Hogwarts.

At eight o’clock in the morning, Diagon Alley also ushered in its own bustle. Even though it was early in the morning, there were quite a lot of people passing by on the street.

The Leaky Cauldron, the face of Diagon Alley, also welcomed a guest today – Fudge, England’s Minister of Magic.

“Old Tom, long time no see!” Fudge walked to the bar and greeted him warmly.

“Hey! A rare guest, the minister who has many things to do has come to my small bar.” Old Tom also responded with a smile.

Others may be in awe of the minister’s power, but not Tom Abbott.

In addition to the confidence given to him by his surname, the countless connections that old Tom has accumulated are his greatest support.

Just like when he kindly took in Ian, that was neither the first nor the last.

After decades of accumulation, no one knows how much potential power Old Tom has.

“Small bar?” Fudge chuckled, choosing to ignore Tom’s modesty and said instead:

“The ministry is busy all year round. If others know that we can’t even take a break at Christmas, we won’t be able to recruit more people in the future.”

After ordering a glass of butterbeer, Fudge sat quietly at the bar.

After a long time, after Old Tom finished his morning preparations, he walked back to the bar again and said, “Tell me what happened that made you come to me so early in the morning.”

“I want to hire some help, someone reliable…”

…

On the other side, Ian hesitantly looked at half of the shopping list in his hand. The dense contents on it also made him feel dizzy.

Since there were so many things to buy, the shopping list was divided into two by Hermione, with one person responsible for half. Finally, they agreed to meet up at the Magical Creatures Shop and pick out the cats together.

But even half of the list still contains nearly 70 kinds of items.

Ian looked around and found that Hermione had run away to nowhere. He gritted his teeth and said, “Ella! Buy items according to this list and come to the Leaky Cauldron to find me after buying.”

When he got up in the morning, he had already proposed to let the house elves go shopping, but Hermione rejected it with a vote. She said a lot about the sense of festival rituals, what she didn’t pay attention to, etc…

“You can’t help but be handsome outside, but I don’t believe you are faster than a house elf!” Ian couldn’t help but praise his wit.

Rather than going shopping, wouldn’t it be nice to sit quietly in a bar and have a few drinks? You have to work extremely hard to give your legs strength.

As for cheating? As long as he didn’t say anything, no one would know that Ella bought these things, even if Hermione asked Ella alone.

There is no equality in the concept of house elves, they will choose to obey first… otherwise, there will be trouble if the orders conflict.

“Ding~ding-ding!”

Ian pushed open the door of the Leaky Cauldron. Four years had passed and everything here was the same as before.

The bar in the morning is always the coldest time, and it can even be said that no one patronizes it at all.

Therefore, as soon as Ian entered the door, he saw two sneaky middle-aged men huddled together next to the bar. The close distance between the two made people couldn’t help but think about it. You must know that this is not an ordinary country.

“Old Tom is still having an affair with Fudge?” Ian couldn’t help complaining in his heart.

After thinking about it, he still walked to the side and sat down without any curiosity.

Just by looking at the postures of the two people, you can tell that they don’t want a third person to hear it. Otherwise, what can’t be said in this empty bar, and why do they have to get together and bite their ears?
