The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

??

Link didn't know anything about what happened at the professor's meeting.

Over the next weekend, Link directly acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, entrusting all matters related to the factory renovation to Cedric, while he and Emily huddled in the Room of Requirement, studying and practicing newt potions. content, and by the way, do some things that teenage lovers should do.

The two of them are so dedicated to their work that even their daily food and drinking water must be provided by house elves at their doorsteps.

Knowing Shao Ai, Link didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

Although his soul age has actually passed that of a boy, Link still believes that the so-called boyhood actually refers to a state of the body.

It is a feeling caused by hormones secreted by the contraction of young and strong flesh.

On this basis, whether one is young or old has nothing to do with the age of the soul, but only with the state of the body.

What's more, as a wizard, sometimes you can better maintain your power by indulging your own desires.

After all, in this idealistic magical world, strong desires and beliefs are also one of the sources of power for wizards.

The above theories were actually the arguments given by Link when he asked Cedric to help supervise the factory renovation project.

Cedric was speechless about this.

He had known Link for more than a year or two.

He knew very well that Link always liked to throw out a lot of theories that sounded reasonable and shocking at first glance, but seemed to have problems when he thought about it carefully to get others to do things for him.

This set works very well for smart people.

Because smart people always like to speculate, and often the more you speculate on these specious sophistry, the more you will get stuck in them and unable to extricate yourself.

So Cedric has learned his lesson now.

Faced with this trick played by Link, he usually just shut down his brain and deal with it as if he had never heard of it before.

However, despite being indifferent to Link's statement, Cedric still firmly completed the task entrusted to him by Link.

In order to get the factory into production as soon as it was approved, Cedric used his reputation to find a large group of Hufflepuff students to help besides the house elves.

Of course, these efforts are not in vain.

Cedric promised that after the factory officially opened, these people who came to help would be the first batch of workers to be hired.

that's it.

Thanks to Cedric's efforts, when Link and Emily finally came out of the Room of Requirement on Sunday evening to check on the progress of the project, the factory renovation work had officially come to an end.

"Wow! Cedric, I can't believe you did all this in just two days, it's a miracle!"

Link sighed as he looked at the rows of renovated classroom doors on both sides of the corridor.

No one in the whole of Hogwarts knew better than him the magnitude of the work involved in renovating this factory.

You must know that compared to George and Fred's black workshop, the factory Link wants to build covers an area twice as large.

Not only that.

In addition to a potions workshop dedicated to the production of semi-finished potion materials and an alchemy workshop to produce low-end alchemical products, there are also multiple workshops dedicated to the production of physical Hogwarts peripheral products.

Although the renovation of abandoned classrooms can greatly reduce the time and materials required, in order to ensure the production safety and production efficiency of these workshops, the renovation of large-scale assembly line equipment and classrooms is unavoidable.

So Link really admires Cedric.

At least if he was left to do it by himself, he would never be able to complete such an entire project in just two days, even if he worked all night long.

But Cedric wasn't too impressed by Link's sincere admiration.

He looked back and forth at Link and Emily with a pair of dead fish eyes full of resentment.

It was not until Emily and Link looked a little embarrassed that they said:

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm just asking you, there shouldn't be any problems with the factory's qualifications, right? I've given away a lot of jobs in order to catch up on the project. If the factory can't be opened by then, we won't accept it. Not going anywhere."

"Don't you and I know very well what kind of work we have done for qualifications?" Link patted Cedric on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't forget that I am the school director of Hogwarts. What if Even though Dumbledore still refuses to let the factory open, I have the back-up to force him to agree. So, don't worry."

Cedric's body was shaken a few times by Link's slap, but his expression became obviously more relaxed, and he nodded and said:

"In that case, I won't say anything more. In addition, John asked me to send you a message. He said that he had figured it out and agreed to be the manager of the new factory, and promised that there would never be any problems."

"Huh?" Link frowned when he heard this, "Why didn't he come and tell me in person? Is it possible that he is embarrassed?"

It was better that Link didn't say this. As soon as he said it, Cedric, who had already relaxed, immediately felt resentment on his face again. He glared at Link and Emily and said:

"Do you think everyone is as irresponsible as you two and like to be the hands-off shopkeeper? John not only has homework to complete, but he has also been running over to help for free in the past two days. Now he is so tired that he has already gone back to rest!"

Cedric's voice was a bit loud, and many house elves around him who were doing the final cleaning work heard his shouting.

This made Emily extremely embarrassed.

She couldn't blame Cedric, so she reached out and pinched the soft flesh of Link's waist and whispered:

"It's all your fault! I told you not to do this!"

"Really? That's not what you said at the time. I remember you dragged me and said...ss--"

Link is much thicker-skinned than Emily, and he will start teasing as soon as he opens his mouth.

But just in the middle of what he said, he was interrupted by Emily who suddenly exerted force on her hand.

He grabbed Emily's hand with his backhand, raised his eyebrows at it, then took a mouthful of dog food and said to Cedric with deep resentment:

"Okay, okay, Cedric, I know it's hard for you. Let's take a vacation, stop worrying about those bad things in school, and go shopping and eat with Qiu Zhang. By the way Before the factory officially starts production, your office can be used for other things."

As he spoke, Link gave Cedric a smile that every man would understand.

However, Cedric understood, but his reaction surprised Link.

The resentment on his face was wiped away, replaced by a look of fear, shyness, and a little hidden yearning and longing.

Link has almost mastered the Legilimency Spell as a passive skill like Dumbledore. How can he not see what Cedric is thinking.

Upon seeing this, he immediately exclaimed:

"No, no, no, Cedric, haven't you and Qiu Zhang..."

Link was only halfway through his words when Cedric covered his mouth.

"Who...who said there is no such thing? We have already tried...tried it!"

Cedric was still trying to be brave, so Link opened Cedric's hand and couldn't stop the smile from spreading on his face.

Even Emily on the side couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering when she saw this.

It was really rare to see Cedric react like a schoolboy.

Later, when he saw that Cedric's face was turning blue and white, and he was about to get angry, Link stopped his smile and said consolingly:

"It's okay, Cedric. Being conservative and introverted are Qiu Zhang's excellent virtues as an Oriental. This is a good thing for you. Don't think too hard about it!"

Cedric knocked Link's hand off angrily, blushed and murmured:

"She's not conservative at all."

Cedric's voice was very low, but Link still heard it clearly.

Hearing this, Link said in disbelief:

"What did you say? You are the one who is emotionally conservative? I can't believe that, Cedric, you are still such a person."

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Cedric also got angry and roared, "That's behavior but the crystallization of love. Forget it about you and Emily. I haven't been able to make a promise to Qiu Zhang yet. How can I What qualifications and courage do you have to do that kind of thing!"

As soon as he said this, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Link and Emily both looked at Cedric with disbelief.

Emily looked at Cedric carefully, and after a long time, she nodded to him solemnly.

It was only now that the proud Emily truly admitted that Cedric could indeed be called a perfect Hogwarts student, or in other words, a perfect young man.

The perfection of the other party is not only reflected in the extraordinary magical talent and wisdom in handling things, but also in the noble character and huge sense of responsibility.

Just as the three of them looked at each other speechless, a sound of quarreling suddenly came from deep in the corridor, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

The three people immediately rearranged their expressions and turned to look.

Then he saw Ron walking quickly towards this side.

But what was different from usual was that Ron's expression today was extremely indignant, and he made great movements when walking, as if he wanted to cause some trouble.

He quickly came to Link and said directly:

"Link Foley! Didn't you say that Percy was sent by you to be an undercover agent at the Ministry of Magic? Then look at what this is! Look at it!"

As Ron spoke, he pulled out an envelope and reached out to slap Link on the chest.

Link remained unmoved, not even planning to dodge.

Because he knew very well that the letter could not be slapped on his chest no matter what.

Sure enough, as soon as Ron stretched out his hand, the house elves around him who were still doing cleaning work all pointed at him.

Although house elves are bad at doing things themselves, strictly speaking, they are also a type of goblins.

Their magic is no weaker than ordinary wizards.

The powerful magic power unleashed by a dozen house elves immediately froze Ron in place, making him unable to move at all.

"Why... why... would they... listen to you?!"

Ron said.

It could be seen that he had used all his strength just to say these words - his face turned red, and he didn't know whether it was from too much effort or from embarrassment.

The corners of Link's mouth raised slightly and he said:

"Because I am a Hufflepuff. In addition, I am also the school governor of Hogwarts! Of course, the most important thing is that I am also one of the best friends of the house elves."

After saying this, Link bowed to the house elves around him.

The house elves also followed Link's example and returned the favor.

Ron was shocked by this scene, and his lips moved as he wanted to continue saying something, but Cedric said first word by word:

"Ron Weasley, you attacked the school governor of Hogwarts and the prefect of Hogwarts, Link Foley. I will inform Professor McGonagall and Principal Dumbledore about this!"

"No! This is a misunderstanding! Ron never attacked Link!"

A familiar voice sounded from not far away. Harry and Hermione ran to Link and said again breathlessly:

"Link, Ron, he..."

Link ignored them and made a quiet gesture before taking down the letter in Ron's hand and reading it.

Dear Ron:

I just heard that you have become a prefect at Hogwarts.

I am very happy and surprised to hear this news, and would like to express my congratulations to you in advance.I must admit that I had always been worried that you would go down the 'George and Fred' path, so you can imagine how upset I was to hear that you had finally stopped showing disdain for authority and were truly determined to take responsibility. of pleasure.

But, Ron, I want to give you not only congratulations, but also some advice.

Therefore, I am sending this letter at night so that you can avoid the morning mail rush and try to read this letter in an environment where no one is around to avoid embarrassing scenes.

Next is the topic!

What I must let you know is that from now on you must reduce your contact with Harry Potter!

I know you have a very passionate relationship with him, and my words may come as a surprise to you.

But you just need to know this.

That is, if you continue to hang out with that boy, you are in extreme danger of losing your prefect badge!

This is not alarmist!

Yes, Harry has always been Dumbledore's favorite disciple. In theory, he should be someone who needs to be pleased.

But Dumbledore's power to call all the shots is about to be gone forever!

Please believe me on this. I have very reliable sources that can prove that some big shots are already very dissatisfied with Dumbledore and are preparing to remove his excess power so that he can concentrate on doing what he should do. .

Don't ask me what 'should be done', I don't know that either.

But in the coming days, Hogwarts will inevitably set off a terrifying storm!

This is a carnival for the strong!

This is a feast for heroes!

Ron, it’s not that I despise you. As long as you are capable, let alone sit at the dinner table and share the fruits of victory.

He can't even hide under the table like a dog, hoping that some crumbs will fall when the adults eat.

So Ron, stop hanging out with Harry Potter.

Also try not to associate with anyone who has Dumbledore tendencies, let alone disobey Umbridge.

Most importantly, watch out for Link Foley! ! !

Only in this way can you survive the storm unscathed.

Congratulations again on your election as prefect.

your brother
