HP meets at Hogwarts

At the door of Hermione's house, Mr. and Mrs. Granger stood at the door, looking around.

Parking the car safely at the door, Hermione opened the door and got out of the car, hugging her parents.Ann went to the trunk and lifted the luggage and Crookshanks' cage beside Hermione.

"Mr. Granger, Mrs. Granger, good evening." Ann said, "I'm sorry to make you worry..."

"It's okay," Mr. Granger said hastily. "It's fine for Hermione to spend a little longer at a friend's house, but I'll trouble you to bring her back so late. Let's go in and have some tea."

With a smile, An agreed happily.

This is Ann's first visit to Hermione's house. Mrs. Granger accompanied Hermione upstairs. Ann and Mr. Granger are sitting in the living room drinking tea. There is an Indian-style tea set in the living room. Set of tea sets in Japanese style.

"Does Mr. Granger like tea culture? Do you know anything about Chinese tea culture?"

Mr. Granger, who was pouring tea, paused, and then asked curiously, "Stoke, do you know Chinese tea culture?"

Nodding, Ann said, "My family is in the international trade business, and I am interested in many things in the Far East, so I know a little bit about it..."

When Hermione and Mrs. Granger went downstairs, Mr. Granger and Ann were having a heated discussion, and they even changed their name to Ann, who was a step closer.

When Hermione sent Ann out, Mr. Granger did not forget to say to Ann, "Ann, come and play next time."

"It's rare for my dad to have someone to talk to him about tea..."

"Hey, it's very important to match what you like, after all, there will be time to play in the future..." Ann said with a playful smile, and before Hermione had time to react, she quickly kissed Hermione's face.

At night, under the dim street lights, there were only Hermione and Ann, and the shadows of the two on the ground quickly overlapped and then separated.

After Ann succeeded, he got into the car at a very fast speed and waved to Hermione, "Happy summer vacation, Hermione! You and your parents have agreed to call me anytime! Good night——"

Driving home, Ann hummed a ditty to the basement, where Aaron was taking care of his Fantastic Animal friends.

Ann self-consciously picked up a bucket of slugs and helped Aaron feed the Mortla.

"Is Miss Granger home?" Aaron asked. "Nothing happened?"

"Home safely." Ann said, she glanced at the food in Aaron's hand, "Aaron, have you been busy recently?"

An unnatural expression flashed across Aaron's face, but then a smile appeared, "You know, the Ministry of Magic has been in a mess recently due to the invasion of mysterious people, so it's been quite busy recently."

Ann nodded. The Ministry of Magic was devastated by this matter. Countless wizards sent shouting letters to the Ministry of Magic, "After Fudge steps down, who will be the new Minister of Magic?"

"Rufus Scrimgeour, the former director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic." Aaron said, "Rufus is a vigorous and decisive person. The power of the

"When will the report come out? Tomorrow?"

"It should be. The Daily Prophet has also been hit hard recently..."

Before going to bed on the third floor, Ann took the initiative to give Aaron a big hug, "Uncle Aaron, I have grown up and can take care of myself. If you want to do something, even if Aunt Dinah disagrees , but I will definitely support you."

Aaron was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and rubbed Ann's hair, "Okay..."

"Maybe I can help you a lot then..." Ann said happily, "Good night, Aaron. Go to bed early, you have to go to work tomorrow."

"Well, good night, Xiao An."

Seeing Ann going upstairs and disappearing at the corner of the stairs, Aaron seemed to have made up his mind. Instead of entering the bedroom, he went downstairs to the living room.

There was a flash of green light in the fireplace, and Aaron left the house through the Floo network. Two hours later, he went upstairs into the bedroom with a tired face but the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.

The summer sun shone on the green grass. In the greenhouse of Roland Manor, An waved his magic wand to make many potted magic plants line up and fly out of the greenhouse door, and landed neatly on the arranged wooden shelves outside the greenhouse.

As soon as the sycamore wooden frame was put on, the poisonous thorn vines all stretched their waists, and each stretched to find the most comfortable place to bask in the sun.

With a wave of the magic wand, a folded canvas unfolded in the air and slowly landed on the top of the transparent greenhouse. Suddenly, one-third of the greenhouse was darkened, and many yin-loving demon plants showed Cheer up.

Place different magic plants at different heights and positions.Ann applied a freezing technique to two buckets of water placed next to a wooden frame, and this small area in the greenhouse suddenly became cooler.

Go to the side of the wooden frame, and there is a small wooden basket hanging on the nails.Reaching out her hand to take out a plant diary from the basket, An Fan read it. After a while, she took the diary and walked past the wooden frame, checking the magic plants on the wooden frame one by one, and from time to time wrote in the diary. Keep track of the latest developments.

After tidying up less than half of the wooden frames, it was time for lunch. Ann walked back to the castle and had a meal. In the afternoon, she still tidied up the magic plants. The plants are concentrated in a special small greenhouse.

Walking out of the greenhouse, it was just at sunset, and the gorgeous sunset glow rendered the entire western sky, and the sun only showed half of its face between the low mountains.

Ann stretched her waist and walked to the lake. There was a wooden stack in front of the lakeside wooden house extending into the lake.Walking to the end of the wooden stack, An took off his canvas shoes, rolled up his trousers, and sat down. The lake water was slightly cool, but the temperature was just right in summer.Hitting the water, propping it up with both hands, Ann watched the sun slowly set.

With a soft "snap" behind him, Gu Ke apparated behind An.

"Little master, the master is back. Dinner is ready." Gu Ke said respectfully.

"Okay. Thank you, Gu Ke." An said, standing up on support, without shoes, barefoot, bent down to pick up the shoes with one hand, and walked slowly towards the castle.

Barefoot, Ann did not walk on the cobblestone road, but stepped on the grass step by step along the grass slope to the castle gate halfway up the mountain.

Walking to the door, Gu Ke snapped his fingers, a pair of gray cloth shoes appeared on the stone steps, and he handed Ann a towel.

"Gu Ke, you are still as careful as ever..."

In the dining room, Dinah sat at the main seat drinking coffee, staring at the newspapers and data reports on the right.

"Good evening, Dinah." Ann greeted with a smile, and sat next to Dinah.

"Good evening, Ann."

The materials and reports on the dining table were gone, replaced by a sumptuous dinner.

"Isn't the Ministry of Magic very busy today?" Anche asked while eating the steak.

"The new minister took office today, the work of our ministry has been suspended, and many international activities have been cancelled. The main direction should undergo a major change." Dana said that she has passed the previous period of busy and panic, and just got She was shocked to learn that the mysterious man had invaded the Ministry of Magic.

"The internship in China has been arranged, you can go there on August [-]st." Dinah said, "This time not only to be familiar with the business in China, I also want to arrange for you to learn about the business in India..."

After cutting the steak, Ann turned her head slightly and looked at Dinah suspiciously.

"The assets of the family's British side may make big moves during this period. In the future, my main focus will be on this matter."

Nodding clearly, An agreed.

The next move of the Ministry of Magic and the next asset and trade changes of the Roland family were discussed. The dinner lasted about an hour.

"Ah, by the way, Dinah, I have a new business plan here..." An Zhaoguke nodded, and several thin white papers appeared on the dining table.

"This is?" Dinah picked up a few thin sheets of paper.

"I thought about it yesterday afternoon. I think it's quite feasible..." An said.

When Dinah read the first page, she frowned slightly, but when she read the next two pages, her eyes lit up.

"Xiao An, do you know what this plan means?"

Does that mean it's doable?Ann became serious. She originally thought that Dinah would not agree. According to her understanding, the Roland family had never done related business before.

"Well..." Ann nodded, "As far as I know, the Roland family has never done any related trade before. If the plan is successful, the Roland family will make a "war fortune", and it will be a lot of war fortune..."

"But the risks are not small..." Dinah said, "and at this time..."

"Without risk, how can there be such a big profit..." An Xiao smiled, "And, from a certain point of view, this risk is controllable..."

Dinah tapped her fingers on the table, obviously thinking about this problem. She squeezed the white paper in her hand, looked at Ann again, and finally shook her head, "Xiao An, I think your safety is more important... Last time, Ya Lun is right, I would rather be conservative at this time..."

"Well... okay." Ann put away the plan on the table.

"Well, although I can't go as deep as you, but it's still okay to play around the edges..." Dinah said, she glanced at her watch, "There is a meeting of European directors and agents in the conference room at nine o'clock in the evening, you Come and join us, at this meeting, we can discuss this matter."

Still have a play?Although it's just a side ball, it can be regarded as a small step.

"Well, I'd love to go."

One day in mid-June, in a restaurant of an ordinary house in the suburbs of London, several copies of the Daily Prophet were spread out on the dining table, there was only a little black coffee left in the coffee cup, and a bitten piece of paper was placed on the white dinner plate. Half of the toast.

One of the newspaper's eye-catching headlines read: Harry Potter: The Savior?

People continue to buzz about the mysterious riot at the Ministry of Magic recently, during which the unnamed monster reappeared.

"We're not allowed to talk about it, don't ask me anything," said a worried-looking amnesticist, who did not want to give his name, as he left the Ministry last night.

However, sources at the Ministry of Magic confirmed that the center of the disturbance was the fabled Hall of Prophecy.

Although a spokesman for the Ministry of Magic has so far refused to confirm the existence of such a place, there is a growing belief in the wizarding community that the Death Eaters serving time in Azkaban for assault and theft were trying to steal a Prophecy Ball.The contents of the prophecy ball are unknown, but speculation abounds that it has something to do with Harry Potter, the only person known to have survived the Killing Curse, and is said to have been at the Ministry that night.Some even called Potter "the savior," believing that the prophecy indicated that only Potter could free us from a man who must not even be named.

Even if the prophecy ball really exists, its whereabouts are still unknown, but (continued to the second edition, column 2)

Next to the first was a second newspaper with the headline: Scrimgeour to succeed Fudge

Much of the front page was taken up by a large black-and-white photo of a man with lion-like hair and a savage face.The picture is animated—the man is waving his hands toward the ceiling.

Rufus Scrimgeour, former head of the Auror Office at the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Division, succeeds Cornelius Fudge as Minister for Magic.The appointment was widely and enthusiastically welcomed by the wizarding community, though within hours of the new Minister Scrimgeour's appointment, there were rumors of a rift with Albus Dumbledore, the recently reinstated Wizengamot Head Wizard.

Scrimgeour's representative acknowledged that the Minister met with Dumbledore as soon as he assumed the top job, but he declined to say what they discussed.It is known that Albus Dumbledore (downwards, 3rd edition, column 2)

There is also a purple booklet with bold text:

With two snaps, two wizards in long gray trench coats and hoods appeared in the restaurant.The two looked around the room and then met in the dining room.

One of them touched the coffee cup, "It's still warm, it seems that he just left not long ago..."

Another person picked up the purple booklet on the table and flipped through it, "You think this book is really useful?" Aaron's voice.

"What do you think? If it's useful, why are we arrogant..." the man said, "Okay, since he's not here, let's go back quickly..."

Aaron threw the booklet in his hand on the table and nodded, "Okay, let's go..."
