This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

Now Andrew has received two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that the principal is not slacking off or having a brain problem, but really has things to do, and the schedule is very tight.

The bad news is that he has to take on an extra job, and he is taken there as a mascot...

Damn it - how can he save face?

This is really hard to understand, but he has no choice but to prepare.

However, before that, he must prepare for the reception well - Professor McGonagall's special letter is very telling, he is not as carefree as Dumbledore.

Fortunately, it is not an official visit, and the problem can be solved by simply asking the elf to clean up.

But the reception is really...

'Ask Dumbledore for help? Forget it... Asking the principal for help is really outrageous... Fortunately, there is someone to ask for help. '

Unlike trivial matters such as decorating the auditorium, receiving three vice-principals is very impressive, and it is not shameful to ask for help from your own dean...

At least he will not be kicked out of the office - the etiquette level is still there.

So, Andrew did not hesitate to ask for help from his own dean with a bitter face, help, dean, the headmaster is just making things difficult for me, I am a pure Ravenclaw!

Although the tone and vocabulary must be very elegant, the actual situation is like this.

Fortunately, although Professor Flitwick was a little dissatisfied with him not seeking knowledge about spells, etiquette issues are at least within the scope of knowledge.

After teaching Andrew for about two hours, Andrew successfully figured out how to do it without being too rude.

As for more things, it doesn't matter - Professor Flitwick gave him a hint that bringing Dumbledore to the meal after the visit can make up for a lot of gaps. As for the etiquette of the reception, he generously assisted all the Ravenclaw prefects who stayed in school.

‘Gryffindor doesn’t have a prefect staying in school, but Professor Black can be invited out. Forget it, let’s not bring the professor… Let’s discuss with Hufflepuff and let the prefect who stays in school receive them… After all, he can still talk to Professor Adams…’

‘Of course, bring all the laboratory members out, they are mixed anyway, just remind them not to talk nonsense, otherwise they can’t be sold at a good price…’

‘That’s it, anyway, Professor McGonagall will accompany you throughout the whole process, it’s almost done…’

——

“Pegasus… is coming…”

Andrew stood at the reception point with a group of prefects and people from the power laboratory, waiting for the Pegasus in the sky to land, and Hagrid was in charge there…

Professor McGonagall was the first to get off the carriage, followed by four wizards, two men and two women.

??? ???

Andrew was stunned for a moment, but he didn't show it. He walked up to greet him quickly, "Professor, you're back."

"Well, everything is fine," Professor McGonagall nodded, "Let me introduce you, Taylor, this is the headmaster of Beauxbatons, Eka Amato."

"Welcome to Hogwarts, sir."

Then came the other three, Bardo Roland of Durmstrang, Dora Aurora of Castrobush, and Elf Neto of Ilvermorny. It is worth mentioning that Professor Neto is the only one who is not a vice-headmaster.

These four people came from four magic schools, two from the three major European schools, Ilvermorny, which has risen in recent years in the United States, and Castrobush, who Andrew is very familiar with and often exchanges documents with.

Yes, Castrobush, this magic school located in South America, has the best relationship with Hogwarts, and the two schools have exchange student programs from time to time.

Andrew once heard Percy complain when he was dealing with the list. His brother Bill used to be a pen pal with a student there, but unfortunately he couldn't get enough money to carry out the exchange plan.

‘There’s no way, exchange students have to pay, but the herbology there is very good, after all, the environment is advantageous, I remember Professor Adams said it…’

Andrew recalled, while greeting these visitors politely - I don’t know if Professor McGonagall had said it in advance or the other party was well-mannered, anyway, Andrew didn’t notice any too outrageous eyes.

“After all, it’s a holiday, if there are any problems with etiquette, please forgive me.”

Then he introduced the members of the laboratory. Knowing that he didn’t know much about alchemy, Andrew took a few steps back and let the professionals come. At the same time, he looked at the Ravenclaw in the team - watch it, don’t talk too much about the cost, and the price too!

After that, a group of people came to the castle and visited the laboratory, and then praised and evaluated, and even bargained - Andrew, who was not good at this, kept smiling and listening.

But the negotiation issue was not about how many sets to buy, but the purchase of the right to use - the permanent kind.

Yes, as a magic school with heavy protection, it is natural that outsiders cannot be allowed to participate in the construction and layout casually. So we have to make it ourselves, even if we take a step back, it has to be done by someone we approve of. And although this thing looks good, you can't just copy it.

There's no way to manage individual plagiarism, but everyone has to be proud, so buy out the license, and then it's your own business to change it. We don't sell it to the outside, so don't worry about how we play and install it.

'Yes... I thought too much...'

Andrew silently reviewed and watched Professor McGonagall and the others easily handle the negotiations.

"Happy cooperation, Taylor, you just go and draft the agreement, and come back soon."

He was called to print documents as a camera - use magic permanent ink on parchment, and then stamp it with the official seal.

After that, it was the reception and dining behavior - but this work was led by the prefects.

"You go and sign separately, Taylor, and then give them the sorted materials - although they can do it themselves..."

In the office, while the professors and the principal were taken away by other students, Professor McGonagall whispered.

"Just collect the original price from Ilvermorny, 30% off for the other two schools, and 50% off for our old friends. Don't be surprised when you collect the money, and don't say anything too much."

…

Professor?

Andrew was stunned - I didn't expect Professor McGonagall to start playing this trick.

But it's true, everyone has a different cooperative relationship, and the high price is definitely a scam for Ilvermorny... It's normal to double the price.

"Will Albus attend the lunch banquet?"

"Yes, Professor, I have talked to the headmaster and he is willing to change his schedule."

"That's good. Basically, there is nothing important. How is your Transfiguration during this period?"

"I am still working on the course assigned by the headmaster. It will be completed in two or three days."

"That's good. You have worked hard this time... Albus is really... I don't know what he is busy with..."

Professor McGonagall shook her head, "I will give you three days off to have a good rest."
