Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Because of Clark's words, the atmosphere in the principal's office suddenly became solemn.

Theodore Abbott and Darren Burke frowned, as if caught in a difficult choice.

At this time, Clark lowered his tone and began to persuade them.

"Several uncles, now that the construction of the Dragon Raising Farm project is over halfway through, and the original investment has all been turned into building materials. At this time, you have to withdraw. It's reasonable and reasonable, but you can't justify it."

Theodore Abbott looked at him embarrassedly.

"Clark, we know what you said, but we don't just represent ourselves. Because of this incident at Hogwarts, some opponents in the family have objections, and we must be responsible for the family.

You are also the patriarch, so you should be able to understand. "

He sang the white face, and Darren Burke on the other side sang the red face.

"Why do you talk so much? We have already asked Headmaster Dumbledore just now, and even he can't solve this matter. I don't know when this project will be delayed?"

Dumbledore could only explain when he heard the other party call his name.

"The monster raised by Slytherin has a part of Hogwarts' authority attached to it, which should be the part that belonged to Salazar Slytherin when the school was founded.

Even as the principal, I am only on par with it in terms of authority, and I cannot know its specific situation and find it and the secret room. "

It turned out that when Hogwarts was founded, in order to show fairness, the four founders equally shared the magic circle authority attached to the magic castle itself.

But as Slytherin and the other three parted ways, that part of his authority disappeared.

Now it seems that when Slytherin left Hogwarts, he did not take away this part of the magical authority, nor passed it on to his descendants, but left it in the secret room.

It is precisely because of this that Dumbledore has been unable to do anything about the monster in the secret room.

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Darren Bock strengthened his determination to withdraw from the dragon farm project. Even the greatest Dumbledore in the wizarding world could not do anything about it. This project is probably going to be yellow.

Clark persuaded them a few more words, but the lower his stance, the stronger the other party's willingness to withdraw.

Especially when they know that there is not much money left in the project account, they don't want to wait for a moment.

If you don't leave now while you have a little money left, you won't be able to leave until you run out of money.

After all, the dragon farm has already been built, how can they divide it up and demolish the venue? Fire dragon dismembered?

"I don't care, anyway, you have to return the funds of our Boke family first!"

In the face of Darren Bock, who is insufferable, Clark has no patience.

"The contract is very clearly written. If your family wants to withdraw, it will be a breach of contract, and you need to pay half the cost of the liquidated damages. You can think about it."

The words that came out of Clark's mouth were as cold as the cold wind in the extreme north, but the more this happened, the more firm Darren Burke's thoughts of breaking away.

After all, it has reached the point of threat, which shows that Clark is already out of skill, and half of it is less than half, and at least part of the money can be returned.

It’s like buying a large off-plan house. Faced with an unscheduled delivery date, it seems like a good choice to recover some of the cost. It’s better than losing everything.

"We will pay the liquidated damages." Darren Burke's words were firm. "Not only me, but also the Ollivander family and the McMillan family that I represent."

His words obviously affected the other two as well, and Theodore Abbott looked at him with an embarrassed expression.

"Hey, Clark, you know that too..."

"Uncle Theodore, I understand you, but a contract is a contract. If the Aibo family wants to quit, the same is true."

Theodore Aibo sighed helplessly, "Thanks, you can pay back half of our family's money later, and the same goes for the Shaker family. I'll communicate with them."

Darren Burke had a smug smile on his face, glad he was in Clark's predicament.

There are already five companies that are ready to quit, and even if each company deducts the liquidated damages, they still need to return 2,500 gold Galleons.

This is not a small expense, not to mention that their original investment has been converted into material materials. In the face of the run-off from the school managers, Clark couldn't take it out for a while, and could only use their Prewett family's funds. money to fill the hole.

And once the money can't be returned, then they can come over again like vultures to share the food.

Clark obviously understood this, but his face didn't show it. On the contrary, he looked at the last school manager so calmly.

"And what about you, Mr. Yaxley?"

Elijah Yaxley sat quietly in the chair, without Darren Burke's pride and greed, nor Theodore Abbott's shame and guilt.

He just sat there, watching Clark's expression carefully.

Clark knew that this one was the real old fox.

Sure enough, Elijah Yaxley said suddenly: "Mr. Prewett, you are really calm, you don't look like a 12- or 13-year-old kid at all, if that kid in my family has half of your ability in the future, I'm satisfied."

Clark sighed, "Mr. Yaxley, what decision do you have, just say no, why are you mocking me here, am I making a pitiful, weeping look, you guys Will it not be withdrawn?"

"Of course not," Elijah Yaxley said decisively. "In business, it's nothing to talk about."

He looked at Clark's face and suddenly said, "But, I'm not a businessman. I actually prefer investors to money investments. You have great potential, Clark."

"So what's your decision?" Clark's tone was neither sad nor happy.

On the other hand, Theodore Abbott and Darren Burke noticed something was wrong. This was different from the strategy of advancing and retreating as they said before.

"My decision?" Elijah Yaxley paused, then said, "The Yaxley family has also withdrawn from the Hogwarts dragon farm project."

Both Theodore Abbott and Darren Bock breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not only that, but the Selwyn family as well."

This sentence made Darren Bock even happier. Seven, seven families withdrew from the dragon farm project. This is 3,500 gold Galleons.

No matter how rich the Prewett family is, they can't come up with this number for a while. You must know that the prize money for the Triwizard Tournament two years later will only be 1,000 gold Galleons.

"Although the Aibo family's money doesn't need to be paid now, our family's money can't be delayed..."

Before Darren Burke's words were finished, Elijah Yaxley suddenly continued what he just said: "However, the Yaxley family's shares will be taken over by me, which counts as my personal investment in you."

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment. One thousand gold Galleons, even if Elijah Yaxley is an official of the Ministry of Magic, this is not a small amount. It is really a loss, but even if it is bleeding .

"Thank you." Clark nodded lightly, accepting the other's kindness.

Then he looked at Darren Bock, who was sitting not far away, and stretched out his right hand, "Pay with one hand, and deliver with the other, and when I get the magical contracts of your families, I will naturally return the money to you. "

Darren Bock curled his lips in disdain, glanced at Elijah again, and then took out a previously signed magical contract directly from his arms.

Obviously, he carried these things with him and was ready to attack Clark from the beginning.

"Don't say that I bullied you. In this way, I will give you more time to prepare the money. When you bring the money, we will be settled."

As he said that, he kept the magic contract in Clark's arms. This thing has magic, and he naturally didn't worry that Clark would take the contract and not give the money.

But before he could turn to leave, Clark stopped him.

"No need, I'll return the money to you now."

With that, he took out the magic pocket from his robe and threw it to Darren Burke.

"There is exactly 500 gold coins in this pocket, no more or no less, do you want to count it?"

Darren Bock hurriedly grabbed the purse and looked at him with a surprised look. You know, whoever has nothing to do would carry five hundred gold Galleons with him, and it's not too much or not.

Did this kid already know our plan?

Darren Bock was a little flustered in his heart, but at the moment the arrow was on the string, and he had to send it out. He had completely torn his face with the Prewett family.

Besides, the school directors themselves are not of one mind, and it is normal for someone to reveal the news, so he quickly sneered, "It's tough enough, how much money do you have in the Prewett family?"

After that, on the magic contract belonging to the Bock family, the signature instantly changed from Darren Boke to Clark's name.

"Then don't bother you."

Clark looked at the changed shares of Dragon Raising Farm, and his heart was full of joy, but he did not show it on his face, and forced his hard air.

He even wished that these old foxes could see that he was strong outside and in the middle, and traded with him earlier.

Darren Burke snorted coldly and took the bag of money to leave, but Clark stopped him again, "Wait, take the money, leave the pocket, that pocket is worth five Galleons."

Clark certainly didn't lack the money, but he didn't mind being disgusted by Darren Burke.

Darren Burke was so angry that he couldn't hold back any longer. He looked at Clark with fierce eyes, took out five gold coins from his pocket and threw them at him.

"Give you!"

A few golden coins flew towards Clark with a whistle, fast and fast, but he just lifted it up, and those Galleons were blocked by an invisible force and floated in front of him, "Let's go, don't send it. ."

After watching Darren Burke's irritated back, Clark looked at the other two school board representatives.

Theodore Aibo felt ashamed to see him, didn't say anything, and left in a hurry when he apologized.

Only Elijah Yaxley took the initiative to shake hands with Clark when he left, and spoke to him in a very low voice.

"I remember that there is a supplemental agreement in the contract. If someone withdraws, other families can pay for his part of the equity. If you don't have enough money, I'm still very interested in exercising this right."

After all three left the principal's office, Clark had the energy to look at Dumbledore.

The old man looked haggard, obviously heartbroken by the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets.

"Thank you, Clark." Dumbledore forced a smile on his sad face. "Thank you for your support of the school."

"It's me who should say sorry, Headmaster." Clark said apologetically, "About the magazine..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dumbledore interrupted him, "I understand this matter, and you are doing the right thing. On the contrary, our consideration was indeed a little inconsiderate."

After speaking, he sighed again, "I'm getting old, maybe I should really consider retiring."

Clark didn't answer him, Dumbledore waved his hand, indicating that he could leave, "Go, go, go back to the lounge early, don't walk around."

Clark nodded and exited the room, leaving Dumbledore alone in the headmaster's room, sighing and working hard for the future of Hogwarts.

For the rest of the day, because of the care of the professors, nothing happened.

At night, when the people in the dormitory stopped discussing the secret room and finally fell asleep, Clark and Harry got up from the bed, dressed again, and put on Harry's invisibility cloak.

The three of them huddled under the lightless invisibility cloak and walked cautiously through the gloomy corridor.

Along the way, I didn't have the pleasure of the night tour in the past, and there were a lot of excitement and fright. Last semester, Clark also wandered around the castle in the middle of the night many times in the middle of the night~www.readwn.com~ in order to brush up his specialty tasks~www.readwn.com~ but never saw the There are still so many people after the sun goes down.

Teachers, prefects, and ghosts patrolled the corridors repeatedly in pairs, checking for abnormalities.

Although Harry's invisibility cloak uses the power of the shadow dimension to block sight and some magical detection, it cannot completely transfer them to another dimension, and naturally it cannot prevent collisions.

On one particularly terrifying occasion, Ron stumbled while walking while Snape was standing guard just a few steps away from them.

Fortunately, Clark was quick-witted and held him up, which prevented him from falling down in front of Snape.

However, the oak gate of the castle was also closed at this time, and Clark and the three did not dare to go from there. After all, no one knew whether the heavy gate would make a sound.

Fortunately, Clark had another way. They came to the corridor on the second floor. Clark used the powerful retractable performance of his magic rope to first put Harry and Ron down, and then grabbed the rope and slowly lowered to the ground. superior.

In this way, when they finally left the castle and saw Hagrid's cottage in the distance, they were relieved.
