After a series of negotiations, countless documents were signed, construction land and other land uses were planned, and the National Park finally compromised on affordable power supply, Charles’ road to buying the island finally entered the process of hiring a consultant hired by the County of Surrey.
Professionals run the stages of the process.
It takes some time to become an island owner, but you can start building a house after the deposit is received. As for the problem of non-compliance with laws and regulations, local people who have received their share of the meat will make it a non-issue.
The British economy was in recession during those two years. Although tens of thousands of pounds may not seem like much, it is still a piece of meat for a small place, and no one wants it to go away.
Not to mention that the island is so weird that fewer people come to the national park for bird watching and hiking recently.
After choosing the style of an ordinary villa and the appliances it was equipped with, Charles returned to Hogwarts and waited for Fudge to notify the buyer of the small wizarding building.
The holiday was not over yet. During that time, the sky was so clear without a single cloud. There were many students riding broomsticks on campus, and everyone was playing the game of grabbing streamers.
Everyone has a streamer trailing behind their broomstick. If you grab their broomstick, you win. If you get it, you lose. There is no physical contact.
Everyone is having fun and having fun, but it would be bad if they dropped their shoes while playing and almost hit the flowers and plants in the garden. Even if they didn't hit the flowers and plants, it would be bad if they hit people.
So Ruby joined the battle group and surrounded the garden in Fang's "airspace".
Charles walked on the vine chair, holding a thick stack of parchment, which contained a letter written to him by Erica, his pen pal at Durmstrang College.
At the beginning of the letter, Erica thanked Charles for the steel mantis, which was a great help. Then she thanked Charles for the African snacks, which she liked very much.
The appearance of the letter from Jie Donglai was the same as before. He recounted his experience in taking care of magical plants during that time in detail.
Charles discovered that most of the plants she grew and took care of for the school were dangerous and could easily kill people.
What came with the letter was several barrels of beer, a specialty produced by Erica's family.
Also bringing souvenirs was Yamada Hakumitsu, who brought a big bag of Taiyaki and Dorayaki.
The image of classmate Harry Potter holding a dorayaki as big as a human face and gnawing at it is quite rare.
"What do I think of Snape?" Harry asked as he ate.
Charles turned to look at him for two seconds and then continued to read the letter, while replying: "Not very good."
Harry was a little dissatisfied with his perfunctory, and whispered again: "That stone, I know what he is talking about. He suspects that Snape wants to steal that stone!"
"Professor Dumbledore hid the stone in the castle and was protected by several professors, including Snape."
"Swap must have known about it, so he wanted to steal the stone!"
Charles said calmly: "Then why has he been so inactive until now? Is he waiting for Hogwarts to give out the bonus at the end of the semester?"
Harry said: "He can't break the magic of other professors and has been threatening Professor Quirrell to help him!"
He then recounted what he had overheard Snape threatening Quirrell.
Charles turned to him and asked: "Am I sure Snape was warning Quirrell to steal the stone?"
Harry chewed the dorayaki and asked, "Why did Quirrell ask to steal the stone?"
Charles asked again: "Why can't Quirrell steal the stone?"
Harry was a little confused. He thought for a while before saying, "There's no reason for Quirrell to steal that stone."
Charles turned to him and asked: "You and Quirrell are familiar with each other?"
Harry shook his head.
Charles asked again: "How well do I know Swamp? How much do I know about his past experiences?"
Harry thought for a while and continued to shake his head.
Charles said: "I'm wrong that Quirrell and Snape don't know anything about the actual situation. They only have superficial information. Can you be sure that there will be no problem with your judgment?"
Harry scratched his head and asked him: "What should he do?"
Charles replied seriously: "Call the police."
Harry took a few mouthfuls of Dorayaki thoughtfully, and finally shook his head and said, "That's not good, then everyone will know where the stone is hidden."
Charles shrugged and took out a bottle of happy water and handed it to him.
Harry felt a bit dry after eating most of the dorayaki. After drinking two sips of happy water, he said, "Then they have to find out something about the past of Snape and Quirrell."
Charles thought for a while and said: "I am not allowed to play because Hermione is pressing me at the desk to review. It just so happens that he gives me something to do. Every Friday after lunch, someone will take the knight bus and drive to the school gate.
I gave him something in front of him, and I helped him get it back."
"No problem!" Harry immediately agreed to ask for help from Donglai. Hermione would definitely not go back on his mistake. If the operation was good and he could play for a whole day, there would be no charge.
Charles smiled. Now every Friday after lunch, Lupine would deliver the supplies needed by the Centaur tribe, and Dumbledore would go and murmur to him when he was at Hogwarts.
It's very interesting to let Harry meet Lupin now, and Harry should be with Ron, and Ron will be with Scabbers, and with Dumbledore present, the scene will be nice.
Charles had little expectations.
Then Harry asked Charles about buying a house.
Charles simply said something and asked him: "What, do you want to move here?"
Harry kept nodding.
Charles was noncommittal about this. The kid now really needs to go to his aunt to brush the buff every year. Let’s talk about it after finishing it.
Harry asked him in a low voice: "Can I keep a dragon at my place?"
Charles shook his head: "No, it's not a national park, and there are many small animals living there. He signed an agreement not to raise animals that would harm those small animals."
He knew why Harry was asking, so he said: "If I am interested in dragons, I can contact Ron. His second brother Charlie is raising dragons in Romania. Contact Yidong, and maybe we can go and have a look during the summer vacation."
"
Harry's eyes lit up and he nodded.
The two chatted for a while, and then a Ravenclaw girl came over to see Charles.
Joyce handed a bottle of medicine to Charles: "The medicine I asked for should not be taken too much at one time. Use one drop at a time according to my weight. If you take too much medicine, your life will be in danger."
Charles smiled and took the potion, thanked her and gave her a large bag of taiyaki.
Joyce herself didn't say much, so she left when she saw Harry was there.
Harry asked Charles: "Am I sick?"
Charles shook his head and made an excuse: "That's the medicine for acne."
The medicine was said not to be troublesome, but the effect was overpowering, and it had to be used in areas of urgent need, so he asked Joyce, who didn't talk much, to help.
