A day at Hogwarts

In the Gryffindor common room, Charles sat at the long table and wrote and drew seriously, designing experiments on growing herbs, which was his focus for the next school year.

During this time, Charles and Professor Sprout used chemical fertilizers to fertilize several magical plants and achieved good results.

This time, in order to publish excellent results in the journal "Flower Hat" instead of a water paper, Charles decided to expand the plant species and obtain more data.

There are very few students who can publish articles in top journals while they are in school. Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall have done so. They and Professor Sprout are both optimistic about Charles' experiment, and Dumbledore specially approved a greenhouse. and a grant to support the project.

It is now the end of May, and Charles has to submit the experimental plan to Dumbledore for review before the holidays.

Harry, who was sitting opposite him, had just finished writing an assignment and looked up and asked, "Charles, where are you going to play this summer?"

Charles travels every summer vacation, but Harry can't go. He can only listen to stories and imagine that he can go too?

"I am quite busy this summer vacation." Charles said as he wrote, "Yesterday Mrs. Angelina wrote a letter saying that their family will go to Marseille for vacation and invited me to stay there for a few days after the vacation."

Hermione, who was sitting next to him, was comparing his homework with his own. When she heard it, she immediately said, "My mother wrote in a letter saying that my family is going to Dijon for a vacation during the summer vacation."

Harry and Charles smiled immediately upon hearing this, which meant that Mr. Granger was not in the UK and they did not need to check their teeth.

Charles smiled slightly and said: "The mustard in Dijon is very good. There is also a candy there with ten flavors: star anise, black currant, lemon, ginger, orange, mint, orange blossom, licorice, violet and rose. I like it. Lemon and orange blossom ones.”

Harry said weakly: "Oh, I can only stay at Privet Drive. Maybe Aunt Maggie will come to stay for many days."

Charles immediately raised his head and said to him as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "If she comes, remember to notify us immediately!"

Ron next to Harry was very curious when he saw Charles's reaction, so he asked: "Who is Aunt Maggie you are talking about?"

Charles and Harry replied in unison: "Very annoying people!" × 2

Ron immediately equated this man with Snape.

Harry didn't want to mention it again, so he asked Charles: "What about after you come back from Marseille?"

Charles didn't want to mention that person and replied: "I asked my grandpa to sign me up for an interest class at the London Historical Fencing Club. I will live in a villa and practice there easily."

He suddenly remembered something and took out a perpetual calendar sold by Tuo Fangxiang from his bag. After opening it, he found that there was a big problem.

The full moon night in July this year is on the 4th, so it seems that we have to go to the Black Forest in Germany first, and then go to Marseille.

At this time, an owl flew out of the window. Judging from the anklet, it was an employee of the Owl Post Office in Diagon Alley. There was a letter tied to the foot, and it landed lightly in front of Charles.

After reading the old man's letter, Charles couldn't help but frown.

Hermione had just finished comparing their homework, and when she saw him like this, she asked, "What happened?"

Charles shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that grandpa opened a company."

Harry immediately raised his head and smiled and said to him: "Haha, if I can't find a job in the future, I can continue to work for Mr. Smith. He will also need a gardener then."

He now also knows the importance of money and how hard it is to get it. According to the old man's approach of not treating pounds as money, he can't imagine how high his salary will be in the future.

Charles thought to himself that if you knew who my gardener is now, he would be frightened. He said to him calmly: "The manager of this company is Vernon Dursley."

Harry's smile froze for a moment, then twisted.

Charles continued: "From a work perspective, Vernon is quite good. He is capable and somewhat ambitious, and he meets Grandpa's requirements."

“In addition, grandpa’s salary was high and there were equity incentives, so Vernon changed jobs.”

"This may be good news for you, because Vernon will go abroad often in the future, and you will rarely see him."

The smile returned to Harry's face and he said, "It would be great if Petunia and Dudley went abroad too."

Charles shrugged and said, "Dudley will go to school in China, and Petunia will stay to take care of him."

Harry was depressed. It would be great if the mother and son also left England.

There were also family matters, such as a chair that someone had lost, and a visitor who was coming to England in early June.

After reading the letter, Charles put it away and frowned. Why did the old man invite this person to come to England?

He thought for a while and thought of a possibility, in which case he would ignore it.

As time goes by, the weather gradually gets hotter, and the fifth and seventh grade students become more and more anxious.

During this time, in addition to reviewing for final exams, Hermione began to move stacks of books on alchemy from the library.

One day in June, on the way to the cafeteria for breakfast, Charles frowned and asked Hermione, "Have you stayed up late recently?"

"Huh?" Hermione immediately shook her head, "No, I didn't stay up late."

Charles said angrily: "You have dark circles under your eyes."

Ginny, who lives in Hermione's dormitory, walked downstairs with her and broke the news: "Hermione stays in bed reading until late every night."

"She's always worried about not being able to keep up with alchemy class next semester."

Charles thought that this was indeed the case, and without saying anything else, he gave Hermione Tianlinggai a hand knife.

After he finished knocking Hermione, he said to Ginny: "Ginny, I give you the authority to supervise Hermione to go to bed on time. If she stays up late again, I will knock her just like I did."

Hermione elbowed Charles in the ribs angrily.

Ginny covered her mouth and laughed, happily accepted the job, and said excitedly: "I see you do this often, and I've wanted to try it for a long time!"

Charles nodded and said, "I didn't tell you earlier."

After saying that, he reached out and gently gave Ginny's Celestial Spirit Gai a hand knife.

Ginny covered her head and said depressedly: "I mean I want to try to knock Hermione, not you to knock me!"

Charles deliberately pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said seriously: "I see, if I didn't make it clear earlier, I would like to knock two more times."

When the young people walked into the cafeteria chatting and laughing, Jack greeted the guests from afar at the airport.

The visitor looked quite young, wearing a hat, with some gray eyebrows and beard. He was a little thin, with very sharp eyes. He was carrying a travel bag for inspection on his back.

When he saw Jack, he strode over and greeted happily: "Brother Jack, it seems that your body is still strong."
