A friendly day at Hogwarts

"Girl?" Old Ollivander was stunned at first, then quickly responded, "Qiu Zhang? That little girl who also has Chinese ancestry?"

Obviously, he still has an impression of this girl.

Glenn blushed and nodded awkwardly: "Yes, that's her."

Grandfather looked at Glenn thoughtfully, and then asked: "So, she will go to China with you?"

"That's right." Glenn said reluctantly, "This was Professor Dumbledore's idea. He said that if I had other people with me, I wouldn't go into those dangerous places."

"To be honest, I think Dumbledore's idea should be quite effective." Dearborn added at the right time.

Old Ollivander glanced sideways at Glenn again, as if he had thought of something, and a kind aunt's smile flashed in his eyes.

Glenn obviously saw the meaning in his grandfather's eyes, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

After the strange atmosphere lasted for a while, Ollivander finally took a step back, nodded slowly and said: "Since you have planned everything, it would seem that I am being unreasonable if I insist on not letting you go. "

After receiving a positive answer, Glenn and Dearborn looked at each other, the embarrassment on their faces disappeared, and in a blink of an eye, they were replaced by expressions of joy.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

He walked quickly behind old Ollivander and pretended to squeeze his shoulders.

Seeing his arrogant look, Dearborn couldn't help laughing.

The three of them chatted for a few more words. Seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Although the old mansion of the Ollivander family is hidden behind an inconspicuous shop, it is not small at all, and is even larger than the estates of other pure-blood families.

As early as a few people were drinking and chatting, the elf Charles had already decorated the guest room for Dearborn.

With the kind invitation from Glenn and Old Ollivander, Dearborn was not in a hurry to return to his dilapidated house and simply settled here first.

The matter of cracking the seal has come to an end, and the time to leave for China has not yet been decided. Glenn's life has returned to peace. In addition to helping in the store every day, he takes Dearborn around Diagon Alley. .

After all, he had been trapped in the ruins for more than ten years. Although Diagon Alley remained almost the same as before, there were still many novel changes that aroused Dearborn's interest.

For example, the most popular store in the alley is Eddie's second-hand store.

Taking this opportunity, Glenn also introduced him to Mr. Carmichael.

For Glenn, intelligence gathering has always been a very important job.Although there has been a prototype of an intelligence agency under the management of Mr. Carmichael, it is nothing more than that, and it is far from the ideal state of Glenn.

In the conversation just at the end of the semester, Mr. Carmichael also put forward some good ideas and suggestions, such as separating the collection and organization of intelligence.

However, although the suggestion was good, it was still short of manpower. It was difficult for him alone to sort out the large amount of mixed information.

The emergence of Dearborn can solve this problem.

As one of the core members of the Order of the Phoenix, he is obviously far more experienced in intelligence gathering than Mr. Carmichael, who is a second-hand businessman.

This was exactly what Glenn suddenly thought about the night he returned to Diagon Alley——

Make Dearborn the head of his own future intelligence organization.

"By the way, Mr. Dearborn." When passing by a second-hand store again, Glenn took the opportunity to ask, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

Unlike a street kid like Mundungus, Dearborn also had a serious job before his disappearance as a civilian clerk in the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters.

Although his status is not as good as that of Aurors such as Kingsley, he is basically on the same level as Mr. Weasley and can be regarded as a junior leader at the grassroots level.

But after being missing for so long, it may not be easy to go back to work.

Therefore, when Dearborn heard Glenn's question, after hesitating for a long time, he still shook his head.

"I have a suggestion." Glenn said quickly when he saw that he had no plan at the moment.

Dearborn looked confused, turned to look at him and asked, "What's your suggestion?"

Glenn pointed to the second-hand store in front of the door that was full of customers: "Here."

"Here?" Dearborn looked back in confusion, his eyes even more confused. "You mean, work as a store clerk here?"

"No, no, no!" Glenn quickly waved his hand and said, "How could I, a powerful wizard, be an ordinary store clerk?"

He waved Dearborn toward the store and continued: "In fact, the owner here is the father of my classmate, and this store was only opened with my funding. Before actually making my suggestion , we might as well go in and take a look first?"

Although Dearborn didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Glenn's gourd, seeing his serious look, he didn't refuse.

The two walked through the crowd and entered the store.

Although it is just an ordinary second-hand store, Mr. Carmichael, who is good at this, has obviously put a lot of thought into the layout of the store.All kinds of items are divided into categories and arranged in an orderly manner. They are obviously second-hand goods, but they can make Glenn, who has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, not only feel no discomfort at all, but also feel comfortable.

Several young clerks were walking back and forth in the store, helping the wizards choose the products they needed.

There was a queue on one side of the store, with people holding old, unused items in their arms, waiting for the two clerks behind the counter to estimate their value.

Glenn and Dearborn walked through the crowds and went directly to the rest area inside the store.

This place is different from the orderly one in the front hall. The layout is obviously much more random, with tables, chairs and benches placed randomly.

At first, Glenn had some plans for such a scene, but it was not until he discussed it with Mr. Carmichael that he gradually accepted it.

For these thieves and crooks who have received little education, only such an environment can make them feel familiar and relaxed.

Several scrawny, drunken middle-aged wizards were sitting at a table near the door chatting with harsh and careless voices.When he got excited, he would bang the wooden wine glass on the table vigorously, and the cheap rum in the glass would be spilled everywhere.

Seeing Glenn walking in, several people fell silent in unison, stood up in a hurry, and raised their glasses to greet Glenn.

Not only them, but almost all the people who were chatting and bragging would take the initiative to stand up and say hello when they noticed Glenn.

Glenn also waved to them and pulled Dearborn to sit down at an unoccupied table.
