HP meets at Hogwarts

Nodding, An repeated the family training.

"Very good, did you remember the password to enter the door just now?" Dinah said.

"Remember, but who is Johnny Depps Roland?" Ann asked.

"That's your great-great-grandfather, who was also the founder of the Roland family," Dinah said, and accompanied Ann into the room.

This is a square room, two walls are wooden frames reaching the ceiling, on which various unknown items are placed, and the other wall is made of transparent crystal bricks, emitting a faint white light. Some of the bricks were engraved with names, which Ann guessed were family trees.There is a stone basin in the middle of the room, and there is a tall tower-shaped wooden rotatable shelf next to the stone basin.

On the shelf are glass vials, inside which are constantly changing silver substances.From the four or five glass vials on the highest floor to the fourth floor, there are dozens of glass vials.

"Here is the family tree." Dinah led Ann to the glowing wall.From the genealogy, it can be seen that the Roland family can be regarded as a sparsely populated family, basically a single pass.

Dinah pointed to a name at the top, where it said Johnny Rowland, next to a woman's name, Janet Rowland.

"Deps Rowlands is an ancient wizarding family in England. More than 300 years ago, in that age full of adventures, a group of ancestors set foot on the ship of the ocean voyage, and set foot on India with the Muggles who were looking for wealth and spreading religion. Land, at that time, they discovered all kinds of magical animals and plants that had never been seen before on the Far Eastern continent. They were very happy to stay there, and studied the magical plants and animals in the Far East. Children who have magic but don't know how to use it properly, teach them to use magic properly..."

"Just like the rule of the Muggle government there, the Deps Roland family also established a preliminary magical framework in India and became the leader. But this grand occasion did not last long, and the descendants of the Deps Roland family were born in India , grew up in India, and their attitude towards India had some differences with their elders. Until 1873, because of dissatisfaction with the way India was treated in the family, Johnny Depps Roland cut his surname and separated from the family. "

"He gave up his inheritance rights and led a small family caravan that supported him to become independent. This manor was also established by him after his international magic trade business expanded."

"The Roland family started with business and respects the rules of business."

Ann thought of the sixth rule of the Roland family, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.This is really a complete businessman.

"Kit Rowland and Camilla Rowland Trivedi (Indian Brahmin surname) were your great-grandfather and great-grandmother. Your great-grandmother was an Indian aristocrat, she had a high talent for magic, family motto The fourth article was added by her."

"Tim?" Ann asked in surprise.

Dinah smiled, "That's right, the family motto of the Roland family was added by generations of patriarchs. At first there were only two, and then gradually there were more. Of course, if you don't want to add it, you don't have to add it, like I don't have one. The Roland family is a family that advocates freedom, so, Xiao An, at the meeting later, although they are elders, don't be too reserved, it doesn't matter."

"Okay, next, it's your grandfather and grandmother. The sixth and seventh family instructions were added by your grandfather, and the eighth family instruction was added by your grandmother." Dinah said and laughed. He took a photo from the shelf, in which a handsome tall boy with amber pupils raised his eyebrows and hugged a smiling girl with brilliant golden hair.

"This is what they are." Dinah said, "Dad has always been like this. He is capable and does not show weakness. Now the Roland family can develop like this. A large part of it is his credit. Mom is a Ravenclaw prefect. .Although they often quarrel, but the relationship is very good."

Ann looked at the framed pictures of young grandfathers and grandmothers.

"What about them?" Ann asked.

"While traveling in the European continent, I ran into the dark wizard Grinwald." Dana said.

"Well... Dinah, I've actually been having a question."

"Ok?"

"My parents, what's the matter?"

"Xiao An..."

"I want to know, and, I should know too." Ann raised her head.

Dinah took a breath and let it out slowly, "Three people, Rodolph Slestrange, Labastan Lestrange, and Bellatrix Black."

Ann silently read the name again and nodded.

Dinah didn't seem to want to talk about this issue anymore, so she started to talk to Ann about the current main business direction of the Roland family and the operation of the International Magic Item Trading Standards Association.

At almost nine o'clock, the two came to the meeting room on the second floor of the castle.There are already some people sitting in the conference room, they seem to come from all over the world, and everyone's clothes are different.

Dinah introduced to An one by one. There are six people in total, all of whom are the principals in charge of the Roland family's international magic trade affairs on different continents.There is an American wizard in North America, a Brazilian wizard in South America, an Egyptian wizard in Africa, a French wizard in Europe, and two in Asia. After all, the main trade line of the Roland family is the Far East, that is, the Asian magic item trade.

One is from India and one is from China.

The meeting lasted only two hours. Each person in charge briefly introduced the main trade items, trade volume, direction and future development of each continent. The most important thing was to let Ann choose a person in charge. The business was gradually handed over to Ann.

Ann chose the Chinese wizard, whose Chinese name is Li Qing and English name is Margaret, a middle-aged lady with a standard London accent.

After the meeting adjourned, Li Qing was left behind. Next, she will stay in London for two months.

"Don't be surprised, take it easy, Margaret, it's not surprising that Xiaoan chose you. She likes China, a mysterious oriental country. She is very smart and easy to learn. You can spend the two months in London as you like." Teach her in your own way," Dinah said.

"I will learn with an open mind." An said in Chinese that she hadn't used for a long time.

After a brief chat with Li Qing, it was about 11:30, and Ann went to bed after saying goodnight to Dinah. Today, she had a better understanding of the magical world.

On the second day, Ann didn't sleep late, but woke up early.Today is the first day of her taking on family responsibilities, and Ann feels a sense of nervousness before going to work on the first day. From today, she officially becomes an adult in the wizarding world.

Being an adult means a lot.

Change clothes, go downstairs, have breakfast, and come to the conference room.Li Qing had been waiting there early, holding a large stack of parchment in her hand.

Seeing Ann, she greeted with a smile, "Ann, can we start?"

"Anytime." An Yang smiled.

A morning of study passed quickly, and An put down the pen in her hand around eleven o'clock, and looked at the data and words on the paper and let out a long sigh of relief.

Standing behind Ann, Li Qing watched Ann finish a question about the impact of lowering trade standards, "Very good, Ann, it seems that Dinah is right, you are very talented and smart in this area."

"Thank you, can I come over this afternoon?" Ann asked.

"I don't need it today. I know you have a lot of summer homework, and next year is your OWL exam. This exam is very important to you. I think our study time is mainly arranged in the morning and afternoon from Monday to Friday. How about some practice and two weekends off?"

"Okay, it's a good combination of work and rest." Ann nodded, she was still a little afraid that she would have to study every day for the next two months.

Nothing happened in the afternoon, and after lunch, Ann returned to Aaron's house by the fireplace.Aaron went to work, and there was no one at home. He greeted Al, who was in charge of cleaning in the living room, and Anne ran to the third floor to start doing homework. During the period, he answered some letters and called Lyle. De (Ann's Muggle friend, custodian of stocks and funds) chatted with him about the latest situation.

Ann has now amassed a fortune of around £4 and by the end of the summer she is on track to double that figure.

After hanging up the phone, Ann noticed the CD player on the table again, which was a birthday present from Hermione.He got up and took out a CD from the bookshelf, put it in the CD player, put on the earphones and listened to the music.

After listening to the four nice tunes, Ann took off the earphones.

Tapping on the table regularly, Ann thought about it for a while, and decided to ask Hermione out to watch a movie, and then invite Hermione to have a meal.Simply as a gift in return, An thought.

Now that the decision was made, An immediately took action.Picking up the phone that had been put down on the table not long ago, Ann made the call without thinking.

After beeping for a while, a middle-aged male voice answered the phone.

"Hello? Hello, this is Granger's house."

"Hi, hello, Mr. Granger, this is Hermione's friend at school, Ann Roland Stoke, I'm looking for Hermione."

"Ah, it's Hermione's friend at school? Okay, I'll call Hermione now, wait a minute." Mr. Granger looked very excited.

"Hermione! A man named Ann Roland Stoke called you! She said she was a friend from your school?" Mr. Granger shouted towards the second floor.

There was a slamming sound of the door opening, and Hermione's voice faintly appeared on the phone, "What? Ann?"

"Oh, Hermione, slow down and be careful going down the stairs." Mrs. Granger's voice.

"Hello? Ann?" Hermione took the phone, panting.

"Don't be so anxious, I don't know how to run." Ann teased.

"Huh... I was just reading a book just now, and then suddenly heard your name." Hermione was a little incoherent, "But I really didn't expect, Ann, you would call." Hermione breathed smoothly, "Ann , what's the matter with you?"

An suddenly didn't know what to say. Would she be too proactive in inviting her like this, ah, bah, too rash.

"Ann?" Hermione asked.

"Ah, yes." Ann regained her senses, since she has made up her mind, let's do it, don't run away.

"Are you free on the weekend? I want to ask you out to watch a movie?" Ann finished speaking in one breath, and then became anxious.

Unexpectedly, Hermione on the other end of the phone exclaimed directly, "This weekend? Ann, you want to ask me out to watch a movie?"

"Uh...if you don't have time, we..." Ann added hastily.

"No, I have time." Hermione said quickly, her tone full of excitement, "I have time on Saturday and Sunday."

"Well, that's good. Let's go on Saturday, okay? I'll take a taxi to pick you up at your house around 11 in the morning, then we'll go to a Chinese restaurant for dinner, go shopping in the afternoon, watch a movie, and then have dinner? Evening Shall I take a taxi to take you back? It won't be very late, around seven or eight o'clock?" An said carefully, wondering if there was anything missing.

Hermione listened carefully, and after Ann finished speaking, she happily replied, "Okay."

Ann scratched her head, "This is the main reason why I called, then, see you on Saturday, you can continue to read books..."

"Well, I'm going to read then." Hermione said, but didn't hang up the phone.

"Ah, wait a minute." An quickly added.

"What?" Hermione never took her ear off the microphone.

"Cough...I want to say, thank you for your birthday present, I like it very much." Ann stared at the CD player on the desktop and said.

"Really? That's great."

"Well, I like it very much." After settling down for a while, he added, "Then hang up, see you on Saturday!"

"See you Saturday!"

Ann hung up the phone, stared blankly for a while, and put the phone squarely on the table.Then he picked up the earphones, pressed the play button, and listened to the music.

The author has something to say:

Daily updates.

Saturday was Ann and Hermione's first "date" lol.
