Chapter 1116: Gold Galleons are still the best
Chapter 1116: Gold Galleons are still the best
Vincent and Arthur had just started talking about flying boots when Kenny, who was far away in Emilia, sent a video call.
Kenny is with Jennifer. They have already finished their graduation trip and are currently preparing for work.
"Wayne, I heard that you have offended the Ministry of Magic?"
Vincent made an international friendly sign, "Get lost, aren't you going to join the Magic Congress? How did you find time to contact me?"
"Of course it's to make fun of you--" Kenny was suddenly pushed aside, and Jennifer's beautiful face appeared on the projection screen.
"Kenny is actually worried about you. He just woke up and saw the speech video of your Minister of Magic. He also said that it is impossible for you to be brainwashed into a tool, so he immediately-"
"Jenny!"
The standard time difference between the UK and the US is 5 hours. It is 2 pm in the UK and 9 am in the US.
Kenny was still as blunt as ever, and his concern touched Vincent a little. "Okay, I'm not brainwashed and I'm not a tool. I've seen a lot of storms and waves. A small hearing won't be a problem for me."
Kenny, who reappeared on the projection screen, could see that he was not trying to be brave.
That's right, Dumbledore has a great reputation internationally, how could he be a hypocritical tyrant?
Vincent is not only a recipient of the Medal of Honor from the Magical Council of America, who has been recognized by the Emilian magic community, but he is also an apprentice of the legendary alchemist Nicolas Flamel. No matter where he goes in the magic community, he is always in high demand.
Unless the British Ministry of Magic does anything stupid, it will definitely not do something as simple as killing everyone.
Before hanging up the call, Vincent asked his friends to say hello to them.
Kenny has passed the Auror selection and is currently receiving training from the Magical Congress.
Jennifer also successfully passed the teaching certificate exam and will go to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a trainee teacher at the end of the summer vacation.
Auror and teacher are both very sacred professions.
Not long after the video call ended, another transoceanic call came in.
It was Rin from the Jingu family. The sky was just getting light at her place.
"Morning."
Lin Yin narrowed her eyes and stared at Vincent for a while, "It doesn't look serious, then I can go to work without worry."
The Jingu family has close ties with the Muggle world, and the family is involved in many related industries. As the heir, she is very busy every day.
Before she had time to say hello to everyone, the third video call came.
Vincent simply connected the projection screen of the magic communicator to the large projection in the living room. The appearance of Furong and Gabrielle surprised Linyin a little.
She glanced at Hermione who was greeting the Delacour sisters warmly, "My dear partner, it seems you are very lucky."
Vincent ignored her teasing and said, "Let me introduce them to you. This is Fleur Delacour, and this is Gabrielle Delacour. They are both students at Beauxbatons. Fleur just graduated this year. This is Rin Jingu. She is the heiress of the Jingu family, one of the three major wizard families in the Japanese wizarding world."
Rin and the Delacour sisters nodded to each other and chatted with everyone for a long time before ending the communication.
"It's so late now." Vincent looked at the clock on the wall in the living room. "Time flies so fast. It's already dinner time without me noticing."
No one had any plans to go back, but to prepare dinner for such a large group of people...
"Leave it to me!" Sirius waved his hand and directly booked an old family restaurant on Oxford Street.
Wales, who had been staying in the building opposite Wayne's house, reported his whereabouts truthfully and soon received a new task.
The hearing was to be held at 8pm, and he was asked to bring the person back to the Ministry of Magic immediately.
Wales looked out at the large group of people in the family restaurant.
If it was a year ago, he would definitely take the person away immediately and mercilessly.
But now...
There is plenty of time, let them prepare dinner first.
Thinking of this, Wales took out a piece of dry white bread from his pocket and started chewing it.
Gradually, there seemed to be an indescribable desire in his eyes when he looked towards the family restaurant.
Vincent, who was sitting by the window, looked up as if he had sensed something.
This feeling of resentment...
"Sorry, I'm going to be out for a moment." He stood up and left the restaurant, which startled Wales so much that he quickly swallowed the bread in his mouth.
The two looked at each other across the street.
Vincent's voice suddenly came to Wales' ears.
"You look so pitiful. It's a rare occasion that a rich man is treating us today. Come in and join us."
Wales stood there in a daze.
"What are you thinking about? Are you worried that your colleagues will tell on you?"
There were many targets that needed to be monitored in the family restaurant, and he was actually not the only Auror nearby.
Wales took a step forward and jogged across the street.
He looked around, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "It's just a dinner, there's nothing to be afraid of."
The two walked into the family restaurant side by side, and everyone was very confused by the appearance of the Auror.
Vincent motioned for him to find a place to sit down, and then introduced him to everyone: "His name is Wales. He can be considered my friend, so to speak."
The friendly smile on Wales' face disappeared in an instant, and he turned around and moved a chair to sit next to Vincent.
Fred and George at the same table seemed to remember something and were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
No wonder I always felt that this Auror looked familiar. It turned out that he was the one who was hung upside down by the Bat Family last year.
Since he can turn enemies into friends, it means he is not a bad person.
The twins came closer enthusiastically.
George put his arm around his shoulders, "A good buddy's friend is our friend."
Fred handed him the menu and said, "Come on, Dahei is treating us today, so you must be polite to him."
Wales couldn't resist their enthusiasm, but finally ordered mashed potatoes and fish and chips.
"I told you not to be angry with the hacker."
"That's right. He'll think you look down on him."
Wales actually had an embarrassing side, which changed Vincent's opinion of him again.
It seems that the British Ministry of Magic is not actually beyond repair, it just has too many rotten parts. However, if all the rotten parts are cut off, the Ministry of Magic may no longer exist.
"What's wrong?" Hermione stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of Vincent's eyes.
"Nothing." He had a faint smile on his face, "I just thought of some unnecessary things."
Hermione looked at him, then at the fidgeting Wales, and nodded thoughtfully, "By the way, we'll all be at the hearing later."
"Ah?" Vincent looked puzzled. "Didn't the Ministry of Magic say that it wouldn't be made public? You guys..."
He turned to look at Sirius, who was sitting at the fathers' table.
Gold Galleons are still useful. I don’t know if it’s too late to bribe Fudge now.
"What are you thinking about?"
Vincent gave Hermione a sly smirk, "I wonder how many Galleons it would cost to bribe Fudge to admit that Voldemort has returned."
