Chapter 227 Cherish the Last Time

Since he violated the agreement, he has to bear the consequences. This is not a child's game. Locke feels that the patriarch of the Delacour family is really going back.

"If all you want to talk about is this matter, please go back. I will only discuss this matter with the person in charge of the Delacour family. There is no need for you to get involved."

After all, the other party is also a beautiful woman, and her personality can be regarded as decent. Locke didn't speak ill of each other, but his tone was a little tougher, and he asked the other party to leave.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Locke, I just wanted to thank you, but, can you please let our family go this time..."

"Ms. Delacour!" Locke's tone became a little harsh: "I will talk to you about this matter when you become the patriarch of the Delacour family, so you should go back to the dormitory now Well, now it's the curfew time."

Locke said with a gesture of invitation, and drove the aggrieved Fu Rong out of the office. Although it is not graceful to treat a beautiful woman like this, Locke has no intention of letting Delacour go easily just because of the other party's pleading. family.

He opened the door and drove Fu Rong out of the office. At this time, he found a black cat standing at the door of his room. He didn't know that it was a pet brought by the student to the school.

Most of the students at Hogwarts bring their favorite pets to school, most of which are owls, and the frequency of cats is quite high. Locke squatted down and observed, and found that this black cat did not seem to be afraid of people. Seeing him approaching, he meowed softly.

"Sure enough, he is a smart cat." Locke lifted the black cat up with a smile, and then found that it was a female cat, but this action seemed to provoke it, causing it to struggle violently.

Locke put it down casually, and returned to the office. Most of the pets brought by Hogwarts students have the blood of magical animals, and their spirituality is still very high. It is estimated that they will find their owners by themselves.

I just didn't expect that when Locke walked into the office, the black cat also walked in, jumped on the desk along the seat, and looked at Locke just like that.

"Why do you feel that there is something wrong with this pet cat?" Locke frowned slightly, but did not drive the cat out immediately, but said: "You can stay here for a while, but don't run around and bark, let alone defecate anywhere."

Having said that, Locke still conjured up a cushion, took out some small dried fish and put it in front of the other party, but it seemed that he was full, and these small dried fish had limited appeal to him.

Then Locke seemed to ignore the cat, and picked up the book to read. In fact, he was distracted to observe the other party's situation, only to find that the cat seemed to have fallen asleep lying on the cushion.

"Am I too sensitive?" Looking at the cat's behavior, Locke thought in his heart, looked at the time again, cast a few monitoring spells, cleaned up the things in the office, and ran Went to sleep in a lounge separated from the office.

The next morning, the black cat who was still dreaming was suddenly picked up by Locke and walked out of the office.

"I'm going out, you go back and find your master." Locke said and put the other party on the ground in front of the office door, and then left.

As a result, Locke found that the black cat might feel comfortable in the office, and would come here for the next few nights, as if it regarded it as its own nest.

Locke was skeptical, but he didn't drive the other party away. Anyway, there was nothing special in the office. They were all the magic books he usually read. He would not keep the really precious and rare books in the office, and would directly collect them without reading them. dimension space.

Now leave this black cat here and see if there is really someone behind it.

"Ms. Delacour, I've made it very clear before. You really don't need to come again. It's better to let the person in charge of your family come."

That night, when Locke was in the office, he saw Fu Rong who came to visit again.

In fact, Fu Rong was also very embarrassed at this time. At the beginning, Locke saved her, which made her full of gratitude. She wanted to find an opportunity to thank her, but she didn't expect to receive a summons from her family, asking him if he knew Mr. Locke.

She told about Locke saving her by the way, but she didn't expect that her father seemed to react more than her, so she must come to express his thanks.

Furong was smart since she was a child, otherwise she would not have become a player in the Triwizard Contest. When she sensed something was wrong, she started asking, but her father just put it off and refused to tell the real reason.

It wasn't until she asked her mother in private that she knew that the family was facing a crisis of bankruptcy. If Mr. Locke's understanding was not obtained, the liquidated damages for that single business could make the Delacour family fall apart.

After hesitating for a long time, Furong finally came to the door, but Locke seemed to be very angry, which made him even more flustered. If Locke's understanding cannot be obtained, the Delacour family is really in danger.

Fortunately, although Locke said that his face was not good-looking, he still let her into the office. She cheered herself up in her heart and said, "Mr. Locke, I hope you can let the Delacour family go..."

"Since the contract is signed, it needs to be abided by, and as far as I know, the Delacour family didn't really have no goods to deliver to me, but just temporarily handed over the goods prepared for me to other people."

Locke said slowly: "Perhaps the Delacour family at the time thought I was just a small person. If I was bullied, I would be bullied. It's no big deal, and I didn't dare to ask you for liquidated damages.

It wasn't until I eliminated Voldemort that I hurriedly wanted to ask for mercy, and I even asked you, a little girl, to talk. Do you think your request is worth 60 Galleons? "

"60!" Fu Rong couldn't help covering her mouth. She just knew that the liquidated damages were huge and might put the family in crisis, but she didn't expect this figure to be so large.

"And Ms. Delacour." Locke said slowly: "If you broke the contract but didn't get the punishment you deserved, then you said next, will someone think I'm easy to bully and do the same thing? Then Do I still have to do my business!"

The assets of the Delacour family may exceed this figure by a lot, but assets are just assets, and compensation for liquidated damages requires cash.

Moreover, when selling assets at this time, those who know the plight of the Delacour family will definitely try their best to lower the price, and they may not even be able to sell at half the price, so in desperation, the Delacour family can only find a way to make Locke hold high. .

And after learning about Fleur, Locke guessed that those in the Delacour family still had some special thoughts, but the girl in front of him didn't seem to know that she had been betrayed by the family.

Thinking of this, Locke felt a little pity, and his tone softened a little: "Ms. Delacour, this matter is beyond your control, so you should cherish the last time you are a guest at Hogwarts." .”
