Harry Potter: Reunion with the Enemy

While Harry tried to make his handwriting on the parchment look neater, he also paid a small amount of attention to the conversation between Draco and Professor Eugene.

The quill pen slid across the parchment, leaving the contents of the self-review. The ink was quickly absorbed, and Harry's usually flamboyant and sloppy handwriting actually showed a bit of elegance under conscious control. He paused his rapid writing and moved the parchment a little further away to take a look. Not bad. From the wording to the text to the handwriting, even the most picky people would find it difficult to find any faults.

It should be able to meet the requirements mentioned by Kingsley.

"The Ministry of Magic needs to give a positive explanation to the outside world. Although I can understand why you did this, maybe you have taken the best action at that time." Kingsley Shacklebolt said this in a private conversation with Harry before. "Although these apologies cannot change what has happened, the public needs an attitude, which is also a way of comforting. I also hope you can understand that you have always been an excellent child."

Harry licked his dry lips and began to write furiously again. Of course, he would definitely fulfill the promise he had made to Kingsley, but what surprised Harry was the fatigue and exhaustion that Kingsley, the reliable former Auror, showed when he met him last time. His bloodshot eyes and tense state made it difficult for him to hide the hard work.

Before this, Kingsley was one of the few people in the Ministry of Magic who had almost no negative comments. When he became the Minister of Magic, the people were also very satisfied with him - a reliable, powerful and professional person, no one was more suitable than Kingsley.

When Harry carefully expressed his concern in the middle of the conversation, Kingsley just smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "It is impossible for the Minister of Magic to satisfy everyone - or all species. Everyone has their own concerns and demands. The intricate relationship of interests is like a balance that can never be balanced. All I can do is to prevent it from shaking too much when the balance is wavering."

"I will try not to cause any trouble to the Ministry of Magic in my next mission." Harry straightened his back and promised, "Why don't you take a few days off first - you look very tired."

"Nothing is certain in this world. We can't relax for a moment. Someone has to do the difficult things." Kingsley answered in his usual calm voice. "But I heard from Arthur that you are in love--"

Harry felt the temperature in his cheeks suddenly rise. "Yes, yes."

Kingsley's worried face relaxed a little at this moment. He seemed to be unable to hold back the twitching of his mouth. "I didn't expect that the Malfoy kid could still move your stubborn bones. Love is confusing, isn't it." But Kingsley quickly returned to his serious state. "Combining work and rest, and remember to hand in the self-criticism on time."

Harry came back to his senses from his memories and heard the conversation between Draco and Eugene.

"That's right. You can always see some interesting collections at Lancelot. They come from all over the world and the quality is amazing." Draco had completely stopped writing a small part of the self-review and was talking to Eugene in a low voice.

"He helped me with a lot of small things and helped me make some money. He's a very good seller." Eugene seemed to think of the rising amount in his bank account and smiled with satisfaction. "So, you two work in cross-border trade?"

"Yes, yes." Draco was surprised that Eugene did not continue to use the fake identities he had made up for the two of them when he was a tutor - excellent students at a prestigious university. Maintaining this fake identity required relying on the Confusion Charm to make Muggles ignore and avoid delving into the issue from time to time.

Considering that the subsequent tutoring employment relationship with the Forsyth family might be terminated, and he also had to infiltrate the Lakeside Club for the next step, Draco simply found a wizarding company that the Malfoy family had invested in, part of which had a lot of intersections with Muggle society. Due to the Malfoy family's large financial support, the company agreed early on to set up a separate position for Harry and Draco that did not exist before and supported background checks.

Draco decided to quit his tutoring job when he said goodbye to Alex's family, saying that he and Harry had completed their credits ahead of time and found satisfactory jobs.

"It has a bright future." Eugene's eyes lit up after listening to Draco's introduction. This company is very famous in the Muggle industry. Of course, Muggles don't know that part of the reason for its great success is the use of magic.

"If you are interested, we can keep in touch. Our company also has channels to access high-quality collections that you are interested in." Draco smiled and nodded. "I believe that the project resources over there should be very rich."

"Okay, I'm happy to do that. Oh, I got what I wanted." Eugene stared at the auctioneer, his attention shifting to the stage. The auction was moving very fast, the current item had been finalized, and the next item was the Horus pendant.

Draco used his peripheral vision to observe Eugene, who straightened up because the item he had been looking for finally appeared. Since he had already achieved his goal of contacting Eugene, there was no need to bid for the Horus pendant.

It must be said that Eugene does look like a kind professor, knowledgeable and talkative. Draco thought of the information revealed by Lancelot - Eugene's brilliant scientific research and project resume on the school's official website was actually mostly the results of his students, and the black market transactions involved also involved arbitrage of school funds, but at the same time, Eugene also participated in many charity projects and special activities for subject development.

Can a person be both good and bad at the same time? This strange question popped up in Draco's mind. Perhaps in a complex animal like human, greed and nobility can coexist.

Harry spread his fingers and waved them in front of Draco's eyes, "I'm done." Draco came to his senses and found that the parchment in his hand had been twisted back by Harry at some point, and was now full of words.

Eugene kept raising his placard, and it was obvious that there were many people who favored this item, and the competition was fierce. The price had already soared tenfold. Seeing the auction price gradually exceed the expected price, Eugene gradually became quiet, and crossed his legs angrily. In the end, the Horus pendant was won by a mysterious buyer from the online auction. Eugene sighed unwillingly, said goodbye to the two people and left the venue directly.

"Today's mission is accomplished." Harry turned his head and said to Draco.

"No, the highlight for me is here." Draco focused his eyes on the stage. The auctioneer had switched the information display to the snake ring. The beautiful design and unique color seemed to catch the attention of everyone present in an instant.

Draco had a determined look on his face.

Harry opened his mouth, but hesitated to tell Draco that he had commissioned the Weasleys to help him buy it via telephone auction.

Please, is this young master Malfoy in front of me bidding against me?
