Falsifying history is good business
Chapter 447: Earl's Family Tradition and Goddess' Blessing
Time passed very quickly in the Great World. Perhaps only two or three days had passed in the God Realm, which was synchronized with the real dimension, but the Earth of the Great World had already entered the year 1995. The second match of the Triwizard Tournament was just around the corner.
Hearing that they could go to the castle again, Minerva was extremely happy. Usually, the little fellow would rather stay in bed until noon, but today, she jumped up by herself before the old housekeeper called her, and shouted that she wanted to go see the pretty lady, and also wanted to "fight" the fire dragon.
Lin You, who already knew the content of the game, suppressed his laughter and deliberately kept silent, waiting to see the disappointed expression on the little girl's face.
The old housekeeper chased after the little girl, helping her put on her clothes and comb her hair - he never asked anyone else to do these things. At the same time, he reminded Lin You with some concern: "Master, Miss Minerva looked at the stars for a long time last night. She spends more and more time in front of the window every night.
"Don't worry, she's just looking at the constellations in the sky." Unlike the old housekeeper who was worried, Lin You knew the truth and didn't take it to heart. However, this light comfort could not reassure the old man at all.
After several years of getting along, the old butler already knew Minerva's special identity; in his opinion, the young lady was not simply looking at the stars, but at the sky.
Will the little lady become a god again when she grows up, leave the Forester family and go back to heaven? I can't bear to let her go!
There were some things that Lin You couldn't explain too clearly, and thus he couldn't eradicate the old butler's groundless worries, so he could only let it go.
Anyway, when the time comes in the future, these unnecessary worries will naturally disappear with the changes in Minerva itself.
Soon, the beautifully dressed little girl filled her stomach again and happily followed her brother into the Hogwarts campus again. Then she looked left and right, but she didn't see her sister or the dragon. There was only a group of people swarming by the lake, looking at the dark lake in boredom.
Because the news of Voldemort's resurrection has gradually spread, the wizarding world is in panic, and the number of non-school people who came to watch the game today is much less than the first game; the cold wind of early spring blew across the lake, and the scene seemed even more deserted.
The little girl's face quickly fell, and she looked at Lin You aggrievedly, her chubby hands grasping her brother's arm and shaking it. Although she didn't say anything, Lin You seemed to understand what the little girl was saying: "Can you take me to see something nice and have fun?"
"Where do you want to go?"
Minerva's big eyes sparkled, and her chubby little hand pointed to the forbidden forest in the distance without hesitation, and she said in a baby voice: "The big horse last time..."
"How many times have I told you that it's a unicorn? How come you can't remember its name?" Lin You covered his face, worried that the Forester family would have the first poor student in the family history in the near future. "We have unicorns on our own island, too. You saw them when you were a child!"
The little girl had a flattering look on her face and shook her arms even harder; although she could hear the tone of her brother's criticism, she didn't care at all about the content of the criticism.
Lin You retracted his arm a little too slowly, and was shaken until he felt dizzy. At this moment, he saw from the corner of his eye an uneasy figure standing not far away, looking at him, seemingly hesitating, not knowing whether to approach.
"Wait a moment, okay?" Lin You quickly held down Minerva, feeling that if he continued shaking, his bones would fall apart. "After a while, the beautiful lady from last time will come out of the lake. After she comes out, you can see the beautiful lady, and then we can go see the unicorn."
"Beautiful sister?" Minerva tilted her head and looked at the lake, seeming unable to make a decision.
"I guarantee that the beautiful young lady will be the first one to come out, and we will be able to see her soon." Lin You made the promise based on his memories of his past life.
"Well, okay!" When Minerva is not in a bad mood, she is the most lovable girl in the world - many people, including the old butler and Newt Scamander, can testify to this.
After handing the little girl over to Diana, Lin You stood up and walked towards the embarrassed middle-aged man. The man's clothes were very old, with patches on inconspicuous places, indicating that the degree of damage had reached the point where the "repair spell" was powerless. Lin You even suspected that this patched piece of clothing was probably the most glamorous outfit the man could wear.
Even in such a difficult situation, Remus Lupin was already the luckiest person in the werewolf group.
"Hello, Your Excellency the Earl." Lupin had obviously received Dumbledore's reminder and did not show any surprise at Lin You's sudden change; although everything is possible from a magical point of view, it would still be big news if a child in his early ten years old suddenly turned into a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Dumbledore should have told you what I hired you to do, right?" Time was running out, so Lin You went straight to the point; when Fleur Delacour came out of the lake in a while, he would have to take the little girl to the Forbidden Forest immediately.
Lupin nodded, but his tone was not very confident: "I already know it, but I'm not sure if I can do it well."
"Dumbledore said that you are an outstanding representative of Hogwarts graduates. In addition to your academic performance, he also mentioned that you have many outstanding qualities. Did he lie?"
Lupin shook his head quickly: "No, Professor Dumbledore is certainly not that kind of person; but, you know, I am a werewolf..."
"Mr. Lupin, today is your first day on the job. Now I'm going to tell you the first work rule, which is also the most important requirement of the Forrester family for their employees." Lin You held up a finger, "That is, from today on, except for the full moon night of each month, you must completely forget your werewolf identity at other times, and only remember one thing at work: you are exercising power on behalf of Earl Goff. With this identity, let alone a school board, even in the office of the Minister of Magic, in front of the Minister of Magic, you can speak loudly and slam the table."
"What..." Lupin was stunned; as a member of a vulnerable group that had long suffered discrimination and oppression, he could not imagine such arrogant and unscrupulous behavior, let alone anyone who could take such bullying for granted.
"What? You don't understand? Are there any words in what I said that you can't understand?" Lin You asked.
Lupin stammered, "No, I just feel... a little out of my imagination."
"Then you have to get familiar with it as soon as possible. Our style, or the Forester family's 'corporate culture' is like this; we won't make trouble without reason, but as long as you have a point, I will give you full support and let you do it." Lin You reminded, "Pay more attention, you won't have much time to adapt."
"Oh, okay; can I ask, how long is the adaptation period you mentioned?" Lupin asked cautiously.
"You have about two minutes."
"what?"
Lin You glanced back and said, "I'm not kidding you. In two minutes, I will have my first meeting as a school director. I will introduce you to the other school directors, and you will represent me in dealing with them in the future. Don't worry, those pure-blood gentlemen will help you adapt to the novice period."
Lord Goff strode forward, and the werewolf followed closely behind him. After about two minutes, Lupin understood why his employer said, "Those pure-blood gentlemen will help you adapt to the novice period."
The spectator stand of the Triwizard Tournament was used as a social venue; Earl Goff and a group of school directors completed the entire process of meeting and certifying the new directors in a very short time. This "ceremony" should have been held in a formal venue, but today it was carried out in the spectator stand of the competition as if it were a child's play - simply because Earl Goff said he didn't have time on weekdays.
When Lin Youru casually said, "Mr. Remus Lupin will be my full representative and exercise my power on the school board on my behalf," every school director showed Mr. Werewolf a kind and warm smile.
Lupin knew most of them, and he also knew that several of them had helped the Ministry of Magic to criticize Dumbledore's "absurd behavior" of allowing werewolves to enroll in Hogwarts not long ago. But now, these people seemed to not know him at all, and didn't know that the middle-aged man in front of them was the person involved in the "werewolf enrollment incident."
At this moment, Lupin finally realized what the title of "Earl Goff's Plenipotentiary Representative" meant. Being able to get so many pure-blood gentlemen to rush to help "adapt to the novice period" really qualified him to go to the Minister of Magic's office and slam the table.
After all, the Minister of Magic himself has to seek the support of these pure-blood gentlemen in order to keep his seat securely.
"What do you think?" After the meeting, Lin You suddenly asked while taking Lupin back to the original stand.
"Those pure-blood gentlemen..." Lupin suddenly found that he really liked the sarcastic tone of his employer when he evaluated the pure-blood families. "Wearing the shackles of money, they are willing to become slaves of power. Did they kneel down in front of You-Know-Who like this back then?"
Lin You sneered, "I am much more open-minded and tolerant than Voldemort. I didn't even ask them to call me master."
"I feel like those pure-blood gentlemen would prefer you to let them shout; that way, they might feel more at ease," Lupin teased.
"Very good, it seems that you have adapted quickly and have understood how to face that group of people." Everyone praised Lin You for the new employee's growth rate.
As they were talking, there was a burst of noise from the lakeside; it turned out that the game was over and the three warriors had returned to the shore. At this moment, the referees were discussing the scores, and the audience was also scrambling to discuss the performance of the warriors in this round of competition.
Lin You secretly had a headache.
I had originally promised Minerva that we would go to the Forbidden Forest to play as soon as Fleur, who failed the challenge, came ashore. But I ended up underestimating the ability of those pure-blooded losers to talk nonsense. It seemed that these people had used all the talents inherited from their bloodlines to learn social skills. Each of them was better at talking nonsense than the other. I ended up delaying the time for nearly half an hour and missed the appointment with the little girl.
What Earl Goff didn't expect was that when he returned to the stands, Diana and Minerva were gone.
Looking up and around, he saw a familiar tall figure standing on the shore near where the warriors were resting; not far away, there was a petite figure not even as tall as an adult's thigh, half-crouching beside the Beauxbatons warrior Fleur, shaking her little head, and it was unclear what she was saying.
"This girl, is she socially adept?" Lin You recognized the petite figure as his sister at a glance, and couldn't help but be surprised at the little girl's courage and initiative.
It is probably because she has been raised with a high self-esteem by the old housekeeper who always grants requests since she was young, so when she sees beautiful things, she really dares to approach people.
Although he was far away, Lin You could also feel Fleur Delacour's embarrassment; she failed to complete the competition today, causing her sister to be trapped underwater for a full hour, and was finally brought to shore by a mermaid. Guilt and frustration were already disheartening, and in the end, she was comforted by a little girl younger than her sister...
But this little girl had a natural aura of being approachable. Even with Furong's not-so-good temper, she couldn't get angry. She could only accept the little adult's consolation with a helpless look on her face.
Only then did Lin You - and everyone else present - witness Fleur Delacour's embarrassed expression.
Lin You was just about to go down and pull back his "untactful" sister when a cry of surprise suddenly came from the shore; as Minerva pointed with her chubby hand, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared on Furong's chest.
A ball of warm invisible flame emanated from the golden light and swept across the lakeshore in an instant.
Not only does the flame have no killing power, on the contrary, it has a unique effect of warming people's hearts and lifting their spirits. Wherever the fire reaches, everyone feels a warmth from the bottom of their hearts spread throughout their bodies, and their spirits are lifted.
If this was the case for others, Furong, who was in the center of the golden light, naturally benefited even more; before her expression of surprise at the golden light and flames could subside, all her negative feelings such as fatigue, loss, depression, etc. were swept away, and her whole body was rejuvenated from the inside out.
It seemed as if he could return to the court at the next moment and immediately participate in the next three-way competition with full confidence.
The golden flame was released and then retracted, and soon the light was reduced. It was not until then that everyone discovered that there was a hexagonal transparent gem on Furong's chest; the surface of the gem was faintly flowing with the same light as the previous golden flame, revealing that the previous abnormality was caused by this.
"This... what is this?" Furong was surprised and asked while holding the gem.
"Don't be sad about the gift I give you." Minerva's voice sounded childish and innocent; but to those who knew the subject, it sounded very generous.
In the eyes of wizards, a "gem" that can inspire and uplift people's spirits must be some kind of precious magic prop. This little girl can give it away at will. Isn't she rich?
"No, I can't accept it." Furong is also a connoisseur of value, how could she dare to accept it?
"But my brother said that I should give gifts..." Minerva's face wrinkled with anxiety, but unfortunately at her age she didn't know how to express her feelings in an orderly manner.
Now Furong was even more afraid to accept it; the little girl looked only four or five years old, and her speech was incoherent. She probably had no idea how precious the gift she had given was.
Seeing that the little girl couldn't communicate, Furong turned her eyes to Diana behind Minerva. At this time, she suddenly realized that there was a figure beside the person who looked like the little girl's sister.
"It's okay. My sister gave it to you. You can keep it. Don't feel sorry for her. She has at least eighty-eight gems like this." (End of this chapter)
