The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"father!"

After meeting Mr. Victoria, the original apprehension and tension in Emily's heart dissipated, replaced only by longing for him that she hadn't seen for a whole semester.

Emily cried and threw herself into Mr. Victoria's arms. Mr. Victoria's eyes were also red, and he sobbed and patted Emily's back to comfort her.

This was originally a very touching scene, but unfortunately after years of growth, Emily has grown taller than Mr. Victoria, which makes the scene of the father and daughter holding each other and crying in pain seem a little bit to others. Funny.

Link and Mrs. Foley on the other side also hugged each other.

But compared to Emily, the scene on Link's side was much more normal.

He and Mrs. Foley just made a false alarm and quickly separated. Then Mrs. Foley began to reach out to check the original injured area on Link's body. After confirming that Link had recovered, she gave Link a big smile and said:

"It seems that Madam Pomfrey's medical skills are really good."

Link smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to echo a few words, he heard Mr. Victoria suddenly screamed beside him.

Turning back in a hurry, I saw that he was pointing at the strawberry on Emily's neck with trembling fingers, making a strange sound of "clucking" in his throat, and the expression on his face was even more indescribably complicated.

"Oops!~"

Emily reached out and covered her neck, and glanced at Link shyly.

This was great. Mr. Victoria's eyes widened instantly and he stared at Link with a ferocious look, as if he would pounce on him and take a bite at the next moment.

What else could Link say to that?

He couldn't say anything, so he could only reply with an awkward and not polite smile.

At this time Mrs. Foley finally took action.

She stood up and directly organized everyone to return to Foley Castle. Although Mr. Victoria was determined to settle accounts with Link, he still gave in under Mrs. Foley's eyes. Emily held her arm and walked into the castle meeting angrily. living room.

"do not worry."

Mrs. Foley also held Link's hand and comforted him softly with a smile.

Link nodded.

Of course he wasn't worried at all.

In fact, Emily's nervousness and worries are completely unnecessary.

Because although today's meeting was said to be a discussion and negotiation about Link's engagement with Emily, it was actually just a formality.

You must know that Mr. Victoria had completely lost his right to speak when he signed the magic contract with Mrs. Foley.

Otherwise, the two of them should have signed an 'unbreakable oath'.

Just as Link expected, the group had just sat down in the living room when Mrs. Foley took Link's hand and said with a smile:

"Mr. Victoria, what date do you think would be a better date for Link and Emily's engagement ceremony?"

As soon as these words came out, Emily and Mr. Victoria on the opposite side were both a little confused.

Because according to the normal process, shouldn’t we first ask if we can get engaged?Why did it suddenly jump to the date of the engagement?

As smart as Emily was, she quickly guessed something, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, which was quickly covered up.

As for Mr. Victoria's expression, it wasn't very good-looking.

He looked at Emily, then at Link, who was smiling, and muttered rather dissatisfiedly:

"Emily is still young. I think today in two years will be a good day. Well, if the weather is clear."

"father!"

"Mr. Victoria."

Emily and Mrs. Foley shouted out almost at the same time.

The difference between their words was that Emily was simply anxious, while Mrs. Foley's tone sounded dissatisfied and cold.

Mr. Victoria didn't care about Emily, who was holding his arm beside him. He looked at Mrs. Foley nervously, with a struggling expression on his face.

But after a while, he still said dejectedly:

"Then let's hold it on July 7th."

"No. 10? Time is a bit tight."

Mrs. Foley frowned.

Regarding the engagement ceremony between Link and Emily, she had actually already thought about the general process.

Taking into account the preliminary preparations and the guests' free time, she felt that July 7 was the most suitable day.

After hearing this, Mr. Victoria's expression became even more depressed.

He seemed completely desperate and had no intention of refuting.

"Then let's set it for July 7th."

Link suddenly clapped his hands and decided.

This move made everyone present look at him in surprise.

Link smiled slightly and explained:

"If I remember correctly, July 7th is the death anniversary of Lady Victoria, right?"

Mr. Victoria's eyes narrowed and he murmured in disbelief:

"You, how did you know?"

Link pointed at Emily and said:

"Emily mentioned to me that you used to take her to visit Mrs. Victoria every July 7th."

"Forget it, you have a heart."

Mr. Victoria whispered, his tone sounding very depressed.

As for Emily, she had already burst into tears.

Mrs. Foley looked a little distressed when she saw this, sighed and said:

"No. 10 will be No. 10. Time is tight, but it's not impossible to achieve it if you work hard."

"By the way, let Emily and Mr. Victoria go home for a good reunion in the past few days." Link added with a smile, "They haven't seen each other for almost a whole year."

"Of course. But Emily, you'd better come to me tomorrow morning. After all, we still need to continue discussing the dress and pattern of the engagement ceremony."

Mrs. Foley nodded in agreement.

Mr. Victoria suddenly raised his head and looked at Link in disbelief.

The hostility towards Link in his eyes also faded a lot.

Mrs. Foley did not give him another chance to speak, she snapped her fingers and said:

"Then let's start the luncheon. By the way, the arrangements for the engagement ceremony should also start. We don't have much time."

The house elf Little Button appeared out of thin air and bowed to Mrs. Foley with great respect.

Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone, the entire Forlì Castle started to move.

This is not an exaggerated description, but the castle really moved.

I saw that the walls and various furniture in the castle began to deform as if they had come alive, automatically moving to the most suitable place.

The first thing to be affected was the reception room where Link and others were.

A giant long table suddenly rose from the ground, and a mountain of delicacies from various countries automatically appeared on the empty plates placed on it.

Mrs. Foley asked Emily and Link for their opinions while inviting everyone to eat.

The dishes in front of her were all carefully selected and prepared to be used at the engagement ceremony. Today was considered a test dish.

At the same time, countless flags and decorations bearing the coats of arms of the Forley family and the Victoria family emerged. While the entire Forley Castle was being cleaned up, the hall at the foyer of the castle was also organized into a large hall. The luxurious appearance of the auditorium.

Not only that, a large number of house elves also poured out from all over the castle, and hurriedly began to follow Little Button's instructions to prepare for the engagement ceremony.

Mr. Victoria no longer thought much about dining.

He looked at the house elves coming and going outside, his eyes a little straight.

You must know that the number of house elves has been reduced to a very rare level after so many years of exploitation and abuse by wizards.

Every surviving house elf can be said to be an extremely valuable asset. At the same time, the number of house elves also represents the heritage of a pure-blood wizard family.

At present, the strength of the Foley family's 'inheritance' has deeply shocked Mr. Victoria.

In fact, let alone Mr. Victoria.

Even Link, the heir to the Foley family, was a little surprised when he saw so many house elves.

For a long time in the past, he had always thought that his house elf only had a small button.

And the number that has emerged now is almost comparable to that of Hogwarts.

The luncheon ended in a weird atmosphere amid the busyness of the house elves.

Mr. Victoria took Emily back to his manor almost non-stop - he still had many things he wanted to ask Emily about.

Mrs. Foley also devoted herself to the preparations for the engagement ceremony. After all, there were many tasks such as preparing invitations that she needed to handle personally.

Looking at the living room that had become quiet again, the smile on Link's face gradually faded and his expression became cold.

Old Kelie appeared behind him unnoticed and looked at him with a pleased look.

Although the previous plan against Voldemort failed to achieve the perfect results as expected, it also proved Link's excellence to a certain extent.

No one else could have handled the situation better than Link.

And now that Link has not only laid the groundwork for the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore, he has also arranged for the Foley family to move to the United States. The future of the Foley family is still in good shape.

After standing there and admiring Link for a while, Old Kelley asked respectfully:

"Master, what should we do next?"

Old Kled's voice seemed to wake Link up from his deep thoughts. He turned his head slightly and glanced at Old Kled with his peripheral vision, closed his eyes again and said:

"Send someone to watch Old Barty Crouch, and then start sending him donations in batches. Leave the rest to him. He is the professional when it comes to seizing power. And we want What we do is to use him to extract profits from the Ministry of Magic. The initial goal is to focus on the share of foreign trade and taxes controlled by the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Of course, our ultimate goal is those Aurors, keeping an eye on old Barty Tell him not to get the target wrong."

"Understood," Old Kled nodded. "In addition, regarding Horcruxes, we have found out the whereabouts of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup based on the information you gave us, Master."

Hearing this, Link was stunned for a moment.

It was indeed Link's order to let Old Kelie and the others search for Horcruxes.

But as a time traveler, Link already knew the location of the Horcruxes very well.

The reason why Lao Kled and the others were asked to look for it was actually to carry out a process of backward reasoning, so as to perfect the cause and effect of Link's knowledge of the location of the Horcrux and prevent Dumbledore and the others from seeing the weirdness.

Originally, Link thought that this process would take a long time, after all, it was really a long time ago.

But I didn't expect Old Kelie to complete the investigation of the Jinbei so quickly.

"Is the chain of evidence complete?"

"Of course, my young master." Old Kled placed a leather document bag in front of Link and said, "All the investigation and reasoning processes are here."

Link opened the cowhide bag and looked through it.

Old Krei's work was indeed done very well.

According to the documents, they conducted a blanket search directly following the known growth trajectory of Tom Riddle (Voldemort).

After learning that Voldemort had worked in Borkin Burke's shop in Knockturn Alley after graduating from Hogwarts, Old Kled and the others naturally found Borkin Burke himself and took some inhumane measures from He learned there that Voldemort had had an inappropriate relationship with Hepzibah Smith for a long time.

Borgin Burke was very concerned about this, because he knew that Hepzibah Smith was the last descendant of Helga Hufflepuff and the keeper of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup.

He wanted to use Voldemort to seize the legendary artifact that could quickly process magical food and herbs.

However, Hepzibah Smith later died suddenly.

Borgin Burke found no trace of the cup among her belongings.

At the same time Voldemort also disappeared.

This can basically confirm that the golden cup has been in the hands of Voldemort, and there is a high probability that Voldemort murdered Hepzibah Smith and then held the soul separation ceremony to make the golden cup into a Horcrux.

The next thing is much simpler.

Voldemort always behaved in an extremely high-profile manner when he was at the height of his arrogance. Old Kled just caught a Death Eater who had escaped trial and coerced him for a while, and then he simply got the gold cup, which Voldemort had already awarded to Bellatrix. Lestrange, the crazy woman.

At this point, the speculation about the Gold Cup is basically over.

As for the fact that the Gold Cup was in Bellatrix Lestrange's Gringotts vault, Link could make up any excuse to get it over with.

"Good job."

Link nodded with satisfaction and said, "Find a way to pass this information to Dumbledore without anyone noticing. It is not convenient for us to rob the Gringotts vault at this stage, so let Dumbledore Order of the Phoenix, let's do it. By the way, it will also help us attract some firepower."

Old Kled obviously agreed with Link's plan, and said with a smirk:

"Leave it to me. I believe Dumbledore will be very happy to know this information."

After saying that, Old Kelie finally stopped waiting, retrieved the files and disappeared directly.

At this time, Link also slowly stood up, holding a wand and walking towards the magic training ground underground in Forlì Castle.

Unlike Old Kled, who only saw the gains of the Foley family in the overall situation, Link was more aware of how much the battle that night had increased his own strength.

And these enhancements require further testing by him before they can develop into real combat effectiveness.
