On Saturday morning, the students were eating breakfast in the cafeteria. The Weasley twins were talking to Harry about Quidditch. Ron on the side was a little envious.
Charles glanced at the professor. Dumbledore hadn't come back yet. He was probably selling unicorn tail hair and Acromantula venom in other countries.
At this time, the arrival of an owl disrupted Charles's plan to go to the Forbidden Forest today, and he immediately took the letter to find Professor McGonagall.
Half an hour later, the fireplace at No. 3 Privet Drive lit up with green flames, and Charles and Professor McGonagall, who looked frosty, emerged from the fire.
As soon as Charles came out, he saw Penny looking at him in the living room with a look of panic. Just when he wanted to say hello, Penny pointed upstairs and said: "They are in the study."
Five minutes later, Jack and Dumbledore were sitting on the sofa like children who had been caught doing something wrong, and Professor McGonagall glared at them fiercely.
"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable!" Professor McGonagall's hands were shaking with anger, "Albus, you... you... you actually played Muggle games for three whole days and three nights!"
"You... don't want to be the principal anymore!"
Dumbledore shrank his neck and whispered: "I originally wanted to play one more round and then go back."
Then Professor McGonagall gave him a sharp look, and he did not dare to speak.
Jack gloated as he watched Dumbledore being scolded, not expecting that it would be his turn next.
"Mr. Smith!" Professor McGonagall asked the old man to sit down obediently. "I originally thought you were a mature gentleman, but I didn't expect that you are just like Albus, like a child who has not grown up!"<
/p>
Charles hid in the kitchen in the name of making tea, fearing that he would accidentally laugh and end up being shoed by the old man and the principal.
Penny went back. She saw that the old man had not brought the newspaper for a few days, so she came over to check on the situation.
Recently, the "Empty Nest Elderly Caring and Mutual Aid Group" has been launched in the community. This was proposed by Charles when he wrote to the community before going to school. The main purpose is for neighbors to visit the elderly who are alone at home regularly to prevent no one from finding out if something happens to the elderly.
Penny was initially worried that something was wrong with Jack, but then she found two old men playing "Civilization" in the study. The most important thing was that the food in the kitchen was smelly.
It sounded like Professor McGonagall was ready to finish training, so Charles boiled the water again, made tea, and brought it to the living room with some sandwiches.
When Professor McGonagall saw him coming, she tried to save Dumbledore some face in front of the students, but she still didn't have a good face. She picked up the tea cup and asked, "How did the thing you went to do go?"
The first time Dumbledore played a computer game, he was still playing "Civilization". He didn't eat for three days and three nights. He ate a sandwich with a tea cup in one hand and then said: "I am giving gold to Mr. Smith."
”
After saying that, he put a few gold bars on the table, and Charles' eyes widened when he saw them.
Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore depressedly. He hadn't even remembered this incident in the past few days. Are Muggle games really so fun?
We have been best friends for many years, and she got angry after scolding her just now. She said to Dumbledore: "You go back to Hogwarts and rest. Charles and I will go and exchange the gold for Muggle money, and then go buy supplies for the centaurs."
."
At this time, Jack said proudly: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome, it can be done here."
After saying that, he walked to the phone and sat down, flipped through the phone book and started making calls.
"...Yes, I have gold here to buy for you. It was left by my ancestors..."
"...Haha, I invested in a shop in a Scottish film school, and I want to buy it from you... In addition to food, I also need some kitchen utensils as props..."
"...That's right, the arrows used for bows and arrows must be real, for filming...Okay, I'll wait for you at home..."
"... We'll talk about fishing later. I want to rent an independent warehouse... Okay, I've written down the number. When the time comes, I'll have someone pull the goods over and help me arrange for someone to unload the goods. Come and get money from me when you're free.
..."
"There will be a sum of money arriving in my account later... Yes, just like before, I will buy all Dell Computer stocks... Haha, that money is reserved for Charles's future marriage, and will not be used for other purposes.
Invested..."
……
After Jack finished the phone call, he smiled and said to Professor McGonagall: "We just wait here. During this time, can you tell me how Charles is doing at school?"
He has made a lot of friends as a congressman in the past few years, and he can basically get everything done with just one phone call.
Charles suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, so he took a bottle of Happy Water from the refrigerator and sneaked into the study to see how the computer was doing.
An hour later, the manager of a gold shop in Surrey came to visit with his men. They were a little surprised to see Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore wearing ancient robes. Jack said that they were the principal and professor of a film school.<
/p>
After testing, the purity of the gold brought by Dumbledore was about 90%. After the gold store manager negotiated the price with Jack, the gold store manager wrote two checks at Jack's request, one for daily expenses.<
/p>
Not long after, the manager of a large supermarket came, and Jack purchased from him a large amount of sugar cubes, granulated sugar, oats, salt, olive oil, happy water, pots, kitchen knives, hammers, axes, saws, nails and some shelf-stable fruits.
, all shipped to the warehouse we just rented.
After the supermarket manager signed the contract with Jack, he borrowed the phone number here to call back and asked the supermarket warehouse to prepare the first batch of goods immediately and send them to the designated warehouse.
At this time, a strong middle-aged man arrived. He owned a small metal processing factory and knew many of his peers. He could take the lead in making arrows. Charles was called down to describe the dimensions of the arrows used by the centaurs.<
/p>
Charles said to him: "The arrows should be more durable, good steel can be used, and the heat treatment should be done well. These have to be reused, so don't worry about money."
"No problem." The owner of the processing plant said, "The quality will definitely be the best!"
Jack negotiated the price with them and wrote a check to pay on the spot.
Except for the waiting time, Jack neatly solved the matter of purchasing supplies. Later, Charles can go to the warehouse to take some goods from the supermarket back to Hogwarts.
Two hours later, I received a call from the warehouse, saying that the first batch of goods from the supermarket had been unloaded.
It was time to leave. Professor McGonagall complained to Dumbledore: "You need to have a good rest when you go back. Do you think you are still young? I think you need a dose of life and death water."
After hearing this, Jack asked Professor McGonagall out of curiosity: "Professor, what is the water of life and death?"
Professor McGonagall replied: "It's a magic potion made by a wizard that can make people sleep peacefully."
She thought that Jack was also very old and played for three days and three nights in a row, so she asked: "Mr. Smith, you also need a good rest. Do you need some for you? I can ask the house elf to send it to you." p>
Jack smiled and said to her: "If you can say 'good night' to me, it will be better than all the sleeping pills in the world."
