Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 335 You can become the Minister of Magic
Gate hours were later than usual on Saturday night, but it was raining heavily outside and students were running around the castle.

This week is Hogsmeade week, and because there is a game on Saturday, the day off has been changed to Sunday, but the weather is enough to dissuade many people.

So students gathered in front of the takeout cabinet, and everyone just wanted to buy takeout.

Today everyone discovered that there is a trademark on the cabinet door, which is a red phoenix with wings spread. Charles changed the Allied logo from "Red Alert 2" and it became the trademark of Phoenix Logistics.

Charles took out a bag of jam sandwich biscuits from the cabinet and was about to visit Harry in the school doctor's office when he met Cedric carrying a bag of red grapes along with him.

Charles asked him: "Has the training for the Potion Championship begun?"

Cedric replied: "It starts next week. We hope to defend the championship this time. The requirements are much stricter than before."

"The principal found the latest magazines and books about potions from around the world, and also found someone to translate them. Each of us has the task of reading."

Charles smiled and said, "Professor Horace Slughorn agreed to return to Hogwarts for a period of time after the Christmas vacation to specifically assist Professor Snape in training you."

"Let me tell you quietly, you also know about the werewolf potion. Now Professor Slughorn is also working with other top potion masters from all over the world in the Himalayas."

He asked again: "Have the third and fourth grade players been decided yet?"

"No." Cedric shook his head, "A few people have signed up and plan to take a look during the training camp."

"By the way, are you still here to help?"

Last time, Charles took charge of logistics and received unanimous praise from everyone. Cedric naturally hopes that he will return to the world.

Charles said: "I have a lot of things to do recently. The late night snacks during your training camp are sponsored by the Dancing Grass Restaurant. I should also be a translator when you go to Kodos Doriz to compete."

He suddenly thought of something, counted on his fingers, and said: "You are in fifth grade this year, and you will be in seventh grade in the next competition. You should be the captain when you go to the magic house."

Cedric shook his head and said, "I'm just good at potion processing, not formulas. How can I be the captain?"

"No, no, no!" Charles stretched out his finger and shook it. "There are many types of team leaders. There are indeed many people who are proficient in professional knowledge, and some can coordinate the overall situation and give confidence to the team members."

"I think you have great leadership potential. Although I didn't go to the Quidditch match today, I also heard that at the last moment, the members of our team believed that you could catch the Golden Snitch, so they fought until the last moment. "

Cedric couldn't help but sigh when he heard him mention today's game, shook his head slightly and said, "We won today's game disgracefully. I apply for a rematch."

"I was behind and to the left of Potter. When Potter fainted, the broom drifted to the left. I thought he was trying to block me, so I flew to the right to avoid it."

"When I caught the Golden Snitch, Professor Snape flew past me to stop the Dementor in order to save Potter. That's when I realized that the Dementor was coming."

"If I had noticed that something was wrong with Potter and pulled him, he would not have been blown into the Whomping Willow."

"This game was disrupted by Dementors and was not our true victory."

Charles asked him: "Do the rest of your team agree to rematch?"

Cedric answered firmly: "Some people disagreed at first, thinking that it was very hard to win this game. If we rematch, we will probably lose, and today's efforts will be in vain."

"I asked them, are you willing to regard Dementors as teammates to help you win? Now everyone agrees."

Charles patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "You are very suitable to be the Minister of Magic."

He admired Cedric. It was rare to lead his teammates to victory, but it was even more valuable to be able to convince everyone to rematch.

This requires that you first have an upright heart, and only by persevering can you have the confidence to convince others. Otherwise, you will be hesitant when speaking, vague when being refuted, and others will ignore you at all.

Secondly, you must accumulate reputation in daily life. If you were a freshman in the first grade, they would still ignore you.

The third point is to have the ability to discover the core contradiction. The identification of dementors as teammates is down to the core. The team members can admit failure, but cannot accept such a teammate, so the persuasion work is simple.

Cedric's face suddenly turned red and he hesitated, "I never thought about becoming the Minister of Magic." Charles smiled and said, "You can think about it before going to bed."

Among those born in the 70s, Hermione is currently too naive, and Percy is too bureaucratic. In terms of leadership qualities, he is not as good as Cedric.

Moreover, Cedric's conditions were good, and Charles even felt that he had taken the template of the protagonist.

First of all, his handsomeness, temperament and approachability are great advantages. Just like when the old man ran for parliament, almost all the middle-aged and elderly women in the constituency voted for him.

Needless to say, his ancestors had ministers of magic, and they were also eminent.

Not to mention his personal life, the girls who walked along and took the initiative to say hello to him could play a game of Quidditch.

Charles continued: "I don't think Wood agreed to a rematch."

Cedric nodded.

Wood will graduate next year and wants to lead the team to win a championship at Hogwarts, and has put in a lot of effort for this.

He suddenly lost the first game when he was about to win. He felt very regretful, but he was not someone who couldn't afford to lose. It was impossible to refuse to play again. Even if he won, he would be regarded as accepting some kind of acceptance. alms.

Charles saw someone coming across the corridor, so he smiled and said loudly: "It doesn't matter, I believe Gryffindor can get enough points from Ravenclaw."

Among the Ravenclaw girls walking across from him was Qiu Zhang. She glared at Charles fiercely, and then smiled sweetly at Cedric.

Charles immediately made a heartbroken look and said: "Oh...it's not good to go with handsome people. I'm like dragon dung under the flowers. Beautiful girls don't want to take another look at me." ”

After saying that, he took two steps away from Cedric and walked to the edge of the corridor.

Cedric's face suddenly turned red, and the Ravenclaw girls couldn't stand upright with laughter.

When going down the stairs, Charles bumped Cedric with his elbow and said in a middle-aged tone: "I think you are not young anymore and it's time to find a girlfriend. I think Qiu Zhang is good. She treats you well." The impression is also very good, do you want to consider it? "

Cedric didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't reply. A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old has reached this age.

Charles was going to visit Harry in the school hospital, thinking that Cedric was going to go back downstairs to Hufflepuff's dormitory, but he didn't expect that he was also going to visit Harry.

Cedric asked Charles: "I heard that Potter's broomstick is broken?"

Charles rolled his eyes and replied: "Don't worry, he won't be short of broomsticks."

Cedric thought that Charles would buy Harry new ones and asked no more questions.

Charles continued: "I think the bigger concern is the Whomping Willow."

Cedric couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that Granger uprooted the Whomping Willow. It's really unexpected. If Professor Dumbledore hadn't seen it, I don't think anyone would believe it."

Charles nodded in agreement. When Dumbledore saw that he had the ability to drive away the dementors, he went to find Harry. When he arrived, Hermione had already rescued Harry.

Fortunately, Harry was wearing clothes with the Iron Armor Charm, so the Whomping Willow didn't do him much harm.

Charles was also scared. If Harry hadn't been given the clothes he was wearing because he was afraid that he would be thrown to death, he would have bought him a coffin now.

Now Harry had woken up, sitting on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the fragments of Nimbus 2000 in front of him.

Charles and Cedric talked to him for a while, but he only responded dully. Upon seeing this, the two put down their snacks and fruits and left.

Ginny was going to visit Harry in the ward with a singing card. Unexpectedly, she met Charles on the way and was pulled aside by him to mutter something.
