A day at Hogwarts

It rained non-stop and the students were soaked as they walked into the castle.

After entering the castle, many students cast spells on themselves and others to get the rain off their bodies.

However, Peeves got a lot of balloons from somewhere, filled them with water, and threw them at whoever was drying himself.

Ruby suddenly appeared behind Peeves and flapped her wings hard, sending him flying far away and hitting him head first on the stairs.

Peeves dared not speak out in anger, so he walked away.

Seamus said, "Ruby looked angry."

In the past, Ruby and Charles's fights were just for fun, but they had never been so energetic.

Dean said: "Did Peeves mess with Ruby?"

No one knows what happened.

Neville looked around and asked, "Where's Charles? I don't seem to see him?"

"What do you want from me?" Charles' voice suddenly came from beside him.

Neville and the others were startled. Unexpectedly, they didn't notice that Charles was right next to them, but they didn't notice at all.

Seamus asked him: "You weren't on the train today?"

"No," Charles said calmly, "I got up late."

Seamus said in surprise: "You actually overslept?!"

In his memory, there seemed to be no incident of Charles oversleeping.

Charles just smiled and said nothing.

Neville thought something was wrong about Charles, but couldn't put his finger on it.

Seamus didn't mind that his robe was covered with rainwater. He put his arm around Charles' shoulders and asked, "Hey, we encountered something very interesting today. Do you want to know about it?"

Charles shook his head and said, "No."

Simo said mysteriously: "This matter has something to do with you."

Charles shook his head again.

The students soon entered the cafeteria, and this time it was Fred and George's turn to pull Charles to the corner of the long dining table.

They began reporting on their summer vacation earnings and applying for further investment.

Charles listened very carefully and finally gave instructions: "Continue researching new products when school starts. I will help you contact the professors at Kodos Doriz. You can write to them to discuss some issues."

"When you have time, you can go to Farbarton Castle and sit there. There are very talented wizards from all over the world. You will benefit a lot from discussing with them."

Fred's eyes lit up and he asked, "So we will be your employees from now on?"

George also asked: "The director of the new department?"

They heard from Percy's girlfriend Penelo that the salary at Phoenix Logistics was much higher than that at the Ministry of Magic.

Charles shook his head and said, "No, it's considered a joint venture between us."

He doesn't want to spread his business too big. The gaming industry is not an emerging field and requires more innovation to develop.

Fred and George themselves have done this very well. If they are drawn into the company system and given too many restrictions, it will be harmful.

Charles told them these things carefully, and they felt it made sense.

"Indeed," said Fred.

George said: "If you work at the Ministry of Magic, you really can't do anything good."

Charles remembered something and whispered: "Don't do those new games I told you before, and don't mention them to others."

Fred asked, "Why?"

Charles said: "You will know later. This is what Professor Dumbledore meant. He asked me to tell you."

Brothers, you look at me and I look at you, feeling very depressed.

It was as if the whole world knew what was going to happen next, only they didn't.

At this time, Professor McGonagall brought this year's freshmen into the cafeteria, and the sorting ceremony began.

While watching the Sorting Ceremony, Fred asked Charles: "Where were you and the Veela the night of the Quidditch match?"

"You know what happened that day, we have been looking for you for a long time."

Charles looked at the ceiling and said, "It's deeper in the woods."

George suddenly asked: "Could it be that you were playing with the Veela until this morning, so you missed the train?"

"Haha..." Charles laughed twice, "Is it possible?"

George said seriously: "I think it's possible."

Fred also said, "Yeah."

Charles ignored the two of them and looked at the empty seat on the professor's chair.

At this time, the Sorting Hat suddenly shouted: "Slytherin!"

"What?!"×2

Fred and George stopped teasing Charles and watched in stunned silence as their cousin Mafalda Prewett put down the Sorting Hat and walked to the Slytherin House table.

"How is this possible?" Fred muttered, "How is this possible?"

George also murmured: "The Prewett family has always been Gryffindor."

Charles said: "Didn't the Black family also produce a Gryffindor?"

The two brothers could not refute.

Charles smiled and said, "I'm surprised that you brothers are both Gryffindors."

Fred said, "It'll make Ron sad if you say that."

George said: "Although he is not very good and clumsy, we never doubted that he would be sorted into Hufflepuff."

Charles said: "Don't look down on Hufflepuff."

The sorting ceremony ended quickly and the dinner began.

Charles took the steak in front of him, cut it into small pieces and put it on a plate, then put it on the ground behind him for Ruby to eat.

Then he took some pieces of roasted lamb ribs and ate them.

Usually, Charles eats a lot, but tonight he seems to eat more than usual. Soon, there are a lot of lamb ribs in front of him.

Fred told him about Daphne looking for him on the train today.

Charles took a sip of pumpkin juice and said, "Don't worry about her. I don't have time to do this now. My studies are more important."

George put a few lamb dumplings on the plate and said while eating, "I don't think Greengrass will give up easily."

Charles took the roasted lamb leg and said, "I'll reject her later."

Fred said seriously, "You'd better think of a plausible and impeccable reason. Some families are stubborn and self-righteous. They think that their requests cannot be rejected, but the price is not enough."

George continued, "Yes, with your conditions, maybe the two Miss Greengrasses can be played together as cards."

Charles curled his lips and ate the lamb leg quietly.

There was a sudden noise from the long table. The cup in Hermione's hand fell on the table, and pumpkin juice flowed all over the table.

Then came Hermione's horrified voice: "There are house-elves here too? In Hogwarts?"

George heard it and said to Charles: "Hermione seems to have a different view of house-elves."

Fred also said: "Yes, she saw Winky, the house-elf of the Crouch family on the day of the competition, and we have been worried for the next few days."

Charles just continued to eat dinner in silence, not wanting to care about it.
