HP meets at Hogwarts

Chapter 220 Five Finale

The Hogwarts Express whistled loudly, white steam kept coming out of the front of the car, and the wheels began to accelerate gradually.The towers of Hogwarts Castle became farther and farther away, and finally the train passed a bend, and Hogwarts disappeared completely.

"I didn't expect that we will be graduating soon! Time flies so fast." Fanny said softly, looking out of the window.

"Yeah. Time flies." Hermione also replied softly.

In the compartment, there were only Hermione, Fanny, and Ann.Last night's party lasted until one o'clock in the morning.Ann also played until the end, but the Hogwarts train departed at nine o'clock in the morning the next day.Ann only slept for a little over six hours.He got into the car half-consciously, almost being dragged by Fanny and Hermione.

After entering the empty compartment, Hermione helped Ann put on the blindfold, and she quickly fell asleep with her schoolbag on her head.

Looking at Ann who was curled up and asleep in the opposite seat, Hermione asked softly, "Fanny, what are you going to do after graduation?"

"Me?" Fanny fiddled with the teacup on the table, her tone joyful, "Ann told me that I could take a gap year after graduating from university in the Muggle world. I discussed it with my parents, and they agreed."

"Gap year? Sounds like a good idea."

"Yes, it's been two years. I plan to go to other countries to see the wizarding world in other countries, and go by myself. By the way, I will explore the development of Quidditch in other countries. Ann suggested that I write a book at that time, or Get an international Quidditch referee's license. Ha, I like the suggestion, in fact, she reminded me that with this, I'll be able to referee Quidditch matches in other countries."

"In this way, you can gain a deeper understanding of the development of Quidditch in each country? Great idea!" Hermione said appreciatively.

Fanny smiled. She looked at Sleeping Ann, and then turned to Hermione, "Of course, during this time, I will definitely come back no matter where you are when you get married. I will be the chief bridesmaid!"

Hermione blushed instantly, she tilted her head, looked out the window and muttered, "It's still early."

"Really?" Fanny smiled. "My intuition tells me that's not the case? Well, well, I'll get the invitation anyway, what about you? What are you going to do after graduation?"

"Me?" Hermione turned her face back, looked at the sleeping Ann, and smiled, "Naturally, I will enter the Ministry of Magic, and see if I can further promote the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association?"

"Wow! Great idea!" said Fanny sincerely. "You know, the house-elves helped a lot during the Hogwarts battle, and they saved a lot of wizards on the battlefield. And Dobby also With Skool's autograph, you will succeed, come on!"

"Thank you." Hermione thanked her with a smile. She couldn't help looking at Ann's face. She knew how much this man had helped and thought about on the way to help the house elves.

As night fell, Ann, Dinah, and Aaron chatted and had dinner in the restaurant of Roland Castle.

"Xiao An, are you sure you want to follow the arrangement in your letter after graduation?" Dinah asked Ann while cutting the roast Wagyu beef on the white dinner plate.

"That's good." An Zhengse replied, "Aunt Dinah, with the current economic size and future expansion plans of the Roland family, it's really hard for you to hold two jobs by yourself. Besides, I won't tire myself out."

"What arrangement?" Aaron asked, pouring himself a cup of tea.

"I think, after graduation, I will take over all the affairs of the Roland family." An analyzed, "In the next year, the upper and middle layers of the Roland family will be set up. Then I will enter the Department of International Magic Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic and learn about the official affairs of the Ministry of Magic. The operating rules and diplomatic affairs with other countries. After that, make plans?"

Aaron looked at Dana.Dinah took a sip of her tea and asked Ann, "Seriously?"

"seriously."

"Okay." Dinah nodded. "You will attend the meeting at eight o'clock the day after tomorrow. I will host it."

"Yes!" An Ying said, unable to hide her joy in her tone.

At the meeting at [-] o'clock in the evening, the meeting room of Roland Castle once again gathered the heads of various branches.North America, South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia all came. In addition, there were some retired or near-retired Roland family members. Orenscu had been chatting happily with them all the time.

The content of the meeting was very simple, whether An was qualified to be the patriarch of the Roland family, put on the ring of the patriarch, and take over all the affairs of the Roland family.

The vote by show of hands was unanimous.

That night, Ann and Dinah came to the basement level of the castle again. The dancing torches elongated their shadows, and they entered the storage room, bypassing the item rack.The two came to a wall and walked straight through.

This side of the wall is a short corridor, and the protective bricks and the magical defense of the upper mud make it very strong.Stepping on the flagstones, Dinah and Ann came to the end of the corridor.Emerging on the stone wall is the huge Roland family crest, a coat of arms with an elephant in the background embossed with the initials RL.

When the two approached, the silver elephant spoke in a cold and steady voice, "When? Where? Who?"

Dinah looked at Ann.

Ann said in a serious tone, "In 1873, India, Johnny Depps Roland."

"Correct answer. What's the matter?"

"Differences are inevitable, but respect each other."

"It's decided. Please stick to it."

The elephant's voice became thick and deep, and the stone door made a sound and moved to one side.

In the boxy room, both walls are wooden frames reaching to the ceiling.On wooden shelves are various magical items and wands used by deceased persons.The rest of the decorations were the same as when Ann came in last time, except that there was an extra Merlin Second Class Medal on one of the wooden stands, which was awarded to Dinah by the Merlin Sir Order as a reward to the Roland family for this war.

A wall made of transparent crystal bricks exudes soft white fluorescence. Some crystal bricks are engraved with names of people, and the names of people faintly glow with lavender light.Dinah led Ann straight to the family tree with a serious expression on her face. She asked, "Ann Roland Stoke, are you willing to swear to the family tree of the Roland family and under the watchful eyes of every family member who has passed away?"

"I am willing." An Zhan said straightly, clearly and firmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the lavender light of the names on the crystal bricks gradually deepened, and a portrait emerged in each crystal brick, and the portraits gradually enlarged, and then arranged neatly on the wall.Ann could see Sonia and Lambert smiling gently at herself in the portrait.

Dinah pressed the hand wearing the patriarch's ring on the crystal block engraved with her name. Dinah's name was pale gold, and she motioned for Ann to put her hand on it as well.Ann copied it, and she put her handprint on a crystal block below the Lambert Roland Stoker and Sonia Roland crystal blocks, and her name gradually emerged.

After reciting a spell in a low voice, the patriarch's ring on Dinah's hand gradually glowed white, and then slowly went out.Letting go, Dinah took the ring off her right thumb, and as soon as she took it off, lines of text appeared on the crystal brick.

"Swear it, Xiao An."

"I, Ann Roland Stoke, voluntarily assume the role of the patriarch of the Roland family—"

The oath, Ann recited slowly, but her tone remained firm. She was ready to take on the next responsibilities and affairs.

Taking the ring from Dinah, Ann put it on her right thumb.At the same time, her name turned pale gold.

On the second day, Dinah accompanied Ann to the Ministry of Magic, and Gringotts signed and changed all the relevant procedures and agreements. family affairs.

The results of the NEWT test will not be officially delivered to the students through the owl letter until early June, and only after obtaining the corresponding grades can they work and practice.So, naturally, the rest of May became a happy little holiday time for all Hogwarts graduates.

After attending Ann's birthday party, Fanny embarked on the road to take an international Quidditch referee certificate, and Hermione took out a very well-preserved box that night, which contained a tumbler that resembled Ann. Toy.

When Ann saw the tumbler, she was a little nervous, but after a while, she relaxed, and what should come will always come.

On the second day, at night, through the fireplace in the living room of Roland Castle, Ann briefly connected to the fireplace in Hermione's house, and took Hermione back to her house.

On the second floor, Hermione's room. As soon as Hermione entered the room, she couldn't help asking curiously, "Why did you come to my house?"

"Because you have 100% choice, Hermione." Ann said, using her wand to summon a stone basin, a Pensieve, and a rare magic item.

Putting the stone basin on the wooden stand that was put together automatically, An took out two glass vials from his pocket. The hands holding the glass vials shook a bit, but Ann still poured all the silver substance in the vials into the stone basin .Silver filaments swirl in the stone basin.

"This is? Pensieve? Ann? Is it memory you poured into it?" Hermione looked curiously at the silver substance flowing in the stone basin.

"Yes." Ann tried her best to keep her tone steady. She took a breath and let it out slowly. She took out the prepared miniature magic earphone from her pocket, and An stepped forward to put the earphone on Hermione's right ear.

Looking at Ann, Hermione grabbed Ann's hand, and she asked, "You're not going to go in with me, are you?"

Ann lowered her head, not looking at Hermione, "Yes, Hermione, if I go in with you, it will definitely affect your judgment, I can't do that."

Hermione frowned, held Ann's face in her hands, and let the other person look into her eyes, "Ann, why, why are you so unconfident in yourself? I didn't have this feeling today."

"I—" Ann pursed her lips tightly, and Hermione clearly felt that the other party began to be nervous, flustered, and even a little scared.

Hermione reached out to take off the earphones, but Ann stopped her.

"Ann, if what I want to watch scares you, then I don't want to watch it."

"Don't! Hermione." Ann looked into Hermione's eyes, "I am indeed a little scared. But, all judgments can be made after you read it? This is my last and biggest secret. Before, it was A secret that cannot be revealed, but now, I have to tell this fact. I don’t want to wait for a day in the future, because of this matter, if there is any conflict between us, at that time, I will definitely regret it even more.”

"So, you plan to advance this point to now, before everything starts?" Hermione's tone was a little harsh.

"I—anyway, after you've seen it, can we talk about it?" Ann looked at Hermione pleadingly.

He took a breath and let it out again.Hermione nodded, but before entering the Pensieve, Hermione said to Ann, "Ann, after so many things, I don't want to see the previous Ann who ran away when we encountered two problems."

"I'll try my best." Ann said without confidence.

Hermione pursed her lips, and finally said, "Forget it, I'll tell you after I finish watching."

Burying her face into the Pensieve, Hermione entered the memory Ann had prepared for her.

After a whirling sensation similar to Apparition, Hermione landed on the grass, which looked like a park, with some Asians running around on the grass, both adults and children.

They laughed and chatted with each other, and then, there was a sizzle sound from the earphones that An prepared, and after a while, she could understand what the people in front of her were saying.

"An'an! Don't run away!! Just play here!" A young looking lady chased after a fast running little girl with a smile.

The author has something to say:

One thing can be seen from Roland's family tree, haha, Lambert is married.

By the way, the next chapter will be updated, probably around nine o'clock tomorrow.
