The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts Chapter 233

The latest website: "Please come in!" The witch knocked on the door, and a calm and powerful male voice came from behind the door.

Percy walked into Crouch's office nervously. The moment he entered the door, he was attracted by the man sitting behind the desk. The wizard's robe on the man was spotless, his short gray hair was neatly groomed, and the toothbrush-like moustache on his chin looked like it had been trimmed with a ruler.

This dress alone is enough to make Percy feel good.

"Please take a seat!" Mr. Crouch prepared a chair for Percy, and after he was seated, Mr. Crouch and Percy began to talk.

"Your resume says that you were student council president at Hogwarts...great resume. As it happens, I have a project on hand about crucible thickness. Well, we hope..."

After a few words, Mr. Crouch arranged a project for Percy.

"Familiarize yourself with our department with Monica first, and then start working as soon as possible. I think this project can reflect your ability well."

After speaking, he sent Percy out, and sat in his office chair for a while. Crouch has been a little confused recently. He seems to have been busy all his life, first for a higher status, and later for becoming Minister of Magic-his ambition has never been extinguished until Dumbledore opened the door, Expose your biggest secret.

Everything about him was wiped out, and the reason why he hasn't resigned just now is because Dumbledore won't let him resign.

Then why is he working so hard?

I've worked so long, can't I just enjoy it? Such a question from the soul often appeared in his mind. However, the habit of the years is still like inertia, driving him to continue to work diligently.

After meeting Percy today, an idea suddenly occurred to him: Why not give all these jobs to a reliable young man? This Percy is more to his own appetite - from a pure-blood family, hard-working and reliable, if his work ability is stronger, he can of course be entrusted with important tasks.

"Ice cream?" Hermione came over and handed Tom a box of three-color ice cream, "your favorite flavor of vanilla, yogurt, and chocolate."

Tom couldn't refuse such an ice cream.

"How about the part-time job?" Tom lifted the lid of the ice cream and started with the vanilla ice cream.

"Going for an interview tomorrow, Mrs. Morkin's Robe Store. How are you doing there?" Hermione began to pay attention to the last small advertisement of the Daily Prophet after she had the idea of ​​a part-time job for the summer, and finally let her find it. A part-time job that seemed like a good fit: Hermione was thrilled to have a summer clerk at Mrs. Morkin's Robe Shop.

Tom wants to find an alchemy shop to further his studies, but he must not join as an apprentice - that's looking for exploitation! In this industry, apprentices are used to exploit, work hard, do the hardest and most tiring work, get the meagre salary, and finally learn a little bit of knowledge from the master. It is more reliable to join as a collaborator for someone with a non-zero foundation like yourself.

"Tom, Minmin, it's time to eat." Mrs. Granger's voice came from the kitchen.

In order to welcome her daughter and Tom, Mrs. Granger prepared a very hearty meal.

"Okay!" Hermione jumped up from the chair and rushed to the kitchen quickly, while Tom looked at the half-eaten ice cream in his hand and got into trouble.

Finally, after two seconds of ideological struggle, he quickly stuffed the remaining ice cream into his mouth.

boom!

"Let's toast you!" To celebrate his daughter's return, Mr. Granger opened a bottle of champagne and poured everyone a glass of champagne.

"How's the semester going?"

"I have gained a lot in most subjects, but the pressure of study is very high. Fortunately, there is a time changer..." When it comes to studying, Hermione said something, she talked about her experience this semester. .

Mr. Granger smiled and listened to his daughter's story, while Mrs. Granger and Tom took advantage of this opportunity to put the dishes on the table.

"Okay, let's eat first, and the dishes will be cold when she finishes talking." Hermione's speech ended at the order of Mrs. Granger.

But after a few bites, everyone couldn't help but chat.

"Dad, this year's Quidditch World Cup will be held in England," or Hermione took the initiative to provoke the topic, "Do you two have any plans for this summer?"

"No." Mr. Granger immediately understood Hermione's voice, so of course he had time - as for those resorts he had already contacted, he could call them back.

"Then are you interested in going to the World Cup with me—and Tom? Quidditch World Cup~"

Mr. Granger knew that Quidditch was a very famous sport in the wizarding world. But it doesn't matter. For him, being able to hang out with his daughter is the most important thing.

"Of course! But aren't you comparing to Muggles like us... um, conservative? Is it really okay for me and your mother to be in the past?" Mr. Granger wanted to use the word "rejection", and the word came to his lips But I thought it was too harsh, so I temporarily found a neutral word instead.

"Of course no problem, I'm a wizard!" Hermione proudly raised her chest, indicating that everything was on her.

"Excellent." Mr. Granger nodded, and the matter was settled.

During the following dinner time, Hermione said 80% of the words alone. She was full of fire, and frantically complained about the fortune-telling class, while the Grangers and Tom were just listening with a smile on the side.

Diagon Alley has always been very lively, even in the summer when the heat is on the rise.

Tom and Hermione came to this alley early in the morning, hoping to find their favorite summer part-time job.

"I'm going to Mrs. Morkin's first, and I hope you are doing well."

"You too."

After entering Diagon Alley, Hermione and Tom were separated. She was going to interview at Mrs. Malkin's robe store, while Tom was going to walk around first.

He wandered along the alley aimlessly, thinking that he could go to Knockturn Alley to try his luck.

"Wize Ek Magic Supply Store..." Tom stopped in front of this magic supply store~www.mtlnovel.com~ This is a store located on the north side of Diagon Alley. Sells a variety of magic items, such as binoculars, hourglasses, and crystal vials.

It does need a clerk, but it's a far cry from the job you're looking for - it's just a regular clerk. If you work here, you might as well go to Mr. Ollivander's and continue to work.

Grab another five catties of pork hind legs, and stew pork tomorrow!

－－－－－－off topic－－－－－

When I turned over the original book, I noticed a detail. Aunt Luo did not describe in detail where Mr. Crouch's beard grew.

She just wrote "His toothbrush moustache, like..."

So is this beard on the chin or on the lips?
