"It's okay, the students are indeed more decent."
"It's a good thing. The times are different now. Wizards always look sloppy and unsightly."
"Maybe everyone is usually too loose."
"..."
Shaw chatted with old Foley about some family gossip and school anecdotes.
It seems that it didn't go straight to the topic, and it didn't play any tricks.
It really seemed like an ordinary visit and reception.
However, they all figured out a lot of information from the other party's daily attitude towards some magic circles.
The two chatted for an hour, and Alice, who was serving tea, got up and went to the kitchen to arrange a lunch.
Then, suddenly no one, old and young, spoke.
The atmosphere became a little secretive and dull for a while.
Xiao Er stabilized for a while, and sighed inwardly, he didn't have time to waste time with a boring old man.
Taking a sip of tea from the cup, he spoke directly.
"Mr. Foley, I don't know how to get the school board seat from you."
Foley lifted the small teapot and refilled Shaw's teacup, then he calmed down and said leisurely.
"Sure enough, Lucius is your man."
Seeing that Xiaoer didn't deny or confirm, Foley smiled and said again.
"The school board seat is actually not profitable, but it is a symbol of social status. This seat has been handed down in the Foley family for hundreds of years. If it is not necessary, I have no reason to sell it."
Xiao Er narrowed his eyes, this situation was still in his expectation, and he answered the question out of question.
"Listen to Alice, you are willing to help me get Grindelwald's witch party heritage, and you will spare no effort to support me, assuming that if I can monopolize the school board seat, I can influence the appointment of the headmaster, and even expel Dumbledore Out of Hogwarts, can Grindelwald take a look at me?"
Old Foley's expression didn't change at all, and he nodded in appreciation.
"It's a good idea, but it's quite in line with expectations. Well, if you can get a seat in the other eleven families, I won't be a villain."
Xiao Er didn't expect the old man to be difficult, so he agreed, but it was like he didn't say anything.
Old Foley could see the dissatisfaction in Shaw's eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm actually doing it for your own good."
Xiao Er was amused, and raised his hand to signal.
"Please advise, sir."
Old Foley shook the cup in his hand, and the tea began to spill, splashing water on the table.
"You see, the action is too intense and too rough, and I'm afraid there won't be much in the end."
Then he slowly pushed the undrinked teacup Alice had left to Xiao Er.
The tea does not overflow a tiny bit.
"Look, be patient and careful, other people's things will eventually become yours quietly."
Xiao Er stared at the two teacups with different shapes.
Speechless, why do old guys like to use things as metaphors?
The most superficial truth of old Foley's metaphor just now is easy to understand.
It seems that I have made a lot of noise recently. It seems safe and I have not exposed myself, but people who are interested have definitely noticed the clues.
And Old Foley must have known something!
But Shaw felt that Old Foley's demonstration just now had a deeper meaning.
These teas belong to Foley's family!
Want it yourself?Only when Old Foley is happy will he agree to give it to himself.
A trace of annoyance flashed across Xiao Er's heart, but his face remained unchanged, and he also smiled.
"Mr. Foley's wisdom is remarkable, and I deeply admire it."
Foley smiled more kindly when he saw Xiao Er being so honest and persuasive.
"You're only in the second grade now. Don't worry. The world is big and the water is deep. Before you become a giant, it's right to hide at the bottom of the pond. You're good at cultivating newcomers on campus. The pure-blooded and I will help plan the matter of the Wuzi Party, so don’t worry.”
The first half of the sentence uses an old saying, that is, the hidden dragon lies in the abyss.
The meaning of the second half of the sentence is that Foley is Shaw's nobleman.
Xiao Er knows how to deal with these old guys whose thoughts are as deep as the sea. Before he can't tear his face, he should show sincerity to paralyze the other party.
"Let Mr. Foley worry about it."
After that, Xiao Er didn't try to test, and chatted with Old Foley normally, until Alice came to call them to eat.
The food is the Chinese craftsmanship that the Forley elves learned from the Hogwarts elves. Of course, the copper spoon was instructed by Shaw.
The luncheon had a harmonious atmosphere, and the dishes were all Xiaoer's favorite.
This made old Foley tease his granddaughter Mu Shaoai from time to time, which made Alice very embarrassed.
Xiao Er didn't say anything, he just ate his lunch gracefully.
After the luncheon, Shaw took Alice to bid farewell to Old Foley.
The new semester is about to start, and today they have to go to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies, and they will pick up Draco and Theodore later.
Going out the door, Shaw asked Alice a question before taking her to Apparate.
"Does the Foley family have any powers under their jurisdiction? How did you find someone to do things and stalk them before?"
Chapter 142 Theodore's "Transformation"
Alice didn't think much about Shaw's inquiry, she was very loyal and dedicated, and she thought that the Foley family belonged to Shaw.
And the grandfather, for their ideals, even dared to fight the ideas of people like Grindelwald.
"Except for some employees in shops, workshops and plantations, my family does not have any direct influence. Before my grandfather found people to handle errands, he was looking for people on the black market. The sources of information about those hidden pure-blooded old men should be accumulated by my grandfather over the years. The role played by the network.”
After Xiao Er heard this, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, and even the black market was involved.
Moreover, he and Tom haven't found the last hidden house of the pure-blooded antiques so far, which makes people suspect the old Foley who provided the information.
Xiao Er said "Got it", and left with Alice, who still wanted to add a few words, apparated.
In front of the window sill of the western-style building, Old Foley smiled after watching the two disappear, then went back to the study room, took out a double-sided mirror after thinking about it...
Shaw and Alice Apparate to Theodore's Dark Manor.
The two informed the servant at the door, and after a while, Gloria walked out quickly, glaring at Shaw.
"First, hum! Shoal Black, why do you still have the face to show up at my house!"
Xiao Er touched his nose, feeling a little puzzled, what happened to Sister Theodore?
He didn't ask any questions or make any further moves. Alice understood, stepped forward and said coldly.
"Gloria, pay attention to your identity and words. If it weren't for the chief, your Nott's house would have been swallowed up."
Gloria was originally a delicate and beautiful girl, but her eyes also had the madness that the Nott family should have.
Hearing Alice's words at this moment, her little face was a little distorted.
"I know what I'm talking about. I'd rather my family be ruined than my brother be targeted by the Dark Lord. Take a look at what this is?"
She then tore open her sleeve, revealing a mark of the Dark Demon, and a pitch-black poisonous snake squirmed and stuck out its tongue on her slender white wrist.
"It's all because of you, Shoal Black, everyone knows about my brother's relationship with you, but my brother refused to join the Death Eaters, and now he has become even more inhuman and ghostless.
And in order to appease the anger of the Dark Lord, I can only join the Death Eaters on behalf of the Nott family. All of this is your fault. Get out, get out, don't hurt us again. "
Gloria pointed at Shaw and said frantically, tears came down, crazy and pitiful.
Shore wondered which game Tom was playing?Why don't I know.
And what does the other party mean when they say that Theodore is neither human nor ghost?
Alice felt concerned and opened her mouth to say that we would help.
At this moment, a young man of eighteen or nineteen slowly walked out of the manor.
The young man has brown hair and blue eyes, pale skin, and a cold and arrogant temperament, but the magic power in his body is overflowing so much that the air around him is slightly distorted, obviously unable to restrain the magic power.
Although the young man's figure was tall, he was too slender, and he was wearing a green robe with silver patterns dangling on his body.
His familiar face and illogical height shocked both Xiao Er and Alice, who were already good at nourishing their spirits.
"Theodore!?"*2
The tone of the two people was shocked and uncertain.
Gloria walked over distressedly, reproaching her in a tone of voice.
"What are you doing here? You need to rest and eat more after using the secret method."
The young version of Theodore refused Gloria's support, and still walked towards Shaw firmly, and said in the suspicious eyes of the other party.
"chief!"
Xiao Er recovered from the blind circle.
"What's the matter with you?"
Before Theodore had time to explain, Gloria frowned again, pointing at Shaw and reprimanded him.
"You still have the nerve to ask, since the beginning of the holiday, my younger brother has always said to the little animals that he is too weak to follow you. age, it will cost him 30 years of life! Woohoo, my poor brother."
Xiao Er's eyes were dignified with sudden surprise.
The Christmas present that Theodore gave him was a manuscript on the study of human bones. Although it was very abnormal, it also showed that the Nott family had a profound research on the human body, especially on human bones.
It is not surprising that the Nanot family has a bone and blood secret method that has an effect similar to that of a permanent aging agent.
That's the price, it's too high.
