Chapter 963 ? My Luck Is up to Me
"In order to better protect everyone and your family, after the wizard primary school, temple university, etc. are completed, they will surround the Hogwarts area and temporarily expand the scope of expansion to a large area around them. At that time, corresponding Residences, neighborhoods, industries under the umbrella company, such as laboratories and farms, will also use this place as their headquarters after expansion. They can also provide convenient services for students' teaching and university research projects, and we will all move to Honolulu. Living around Gewarts... Even your Squib Muggle relatives, as long as they are relatives you care about and are willing to give up their life in the Muggle world, they can also move here to live here. The Ministry of Magic will provide convenience and support in this regard. To assist, wizards who are best at forgetting spells will make unwilling Muggles forget this invitation... In addition, the Ministry of Magic will also complete the negotiation work with the International Federation of Wizards in this regard."
These remarks about Muggles and the International Federation of Wizards caused a lot of people to whisper, but Hermione did not stop introducing, and Lun continued to show the drawings non-stop, except for the original campus of Hogwarts , outside of Hogsmeade village, various buildings and reports appeared on the original open space.
"In our magical world, there are only a few blocks and villages exclusive to wizards such as Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. They are all small areas and small-scale gathering places. There are no cities belonging to wizards at all. And Allen Taking advantage of the opportunity of this Hogwarts renovation and expansion, we plan to expand it into a safe and prosperous wizarding school city with Hogwarts as the core, and welcome all wizards who are pursuing knowledge to come and settle here..." with a full face The excited Hermione made Anka on top of her head shake her feathers impatiently, "If all goes well, the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic and St. Mungo's Hospital will be moved here. The original site was only used as a branch."
The construction of the wizard city is certainly exciting, but at the same time, it also sparked discussions among the wizards off the field.
Compared with those who seem to have heard of this arrangement for the first time, wizards who realize that this is a disguised surveillance method have no courage to express any opinions on this, and wizard families with sufficient qualifications have long responded to Harris’ request to gather and live together. They have prepared, and they have been persuaded in advance. It doesn't make any sense. In fact, it is a good thing for outsiders like them to stick together. They can use the armed forces of the umbrella to avoid being attacked by local pure blood when the struggle is fierce.
It's just about the International Federation of Wizards, which made them a little bit concerned after being deflated once. Most wizards don't regard their Muggle relatives as real relatives, but due to the current environment and Hermione's identity, they I didn't get too entangled in this, anyway, Muggles who don't want to be cast will be oblivious to the curse. Yes, the number of people should not be too many.
But in contrast, these wizards focus on the good graphics and reports on the planning drawings. For wizards, they have magic that ignores the rules of physics and the ability to apply space similar to the traceless stretching spell, allowing them to be more effective in construction. The domain is too much beyond Muggles. As long as luxury materials are not considered, some commoner wizards with poor grades can easily renovate their houses-the only thing that costs a lot is the appropriateness of building a new office building for the Ministry of Magic. If the decision is passed.
Therefore, the buildings on the blueprints seem to be large-scale, but in fact, apart from the construction of the elementary school university and the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic, other projects are still within the reasonable range of their cognition. Compared with the construction of the building itself, more troubles come from how to use these houses. The wizard fills up.
"If it can be done... If it can be done, it will be a feat! We will be the envy of all the wizarding world... a city of wizards!"
"If you want to create a city-level wizard gathering place... that will require a lot of people to move in... The staff area means that even the staff of the umbrella will be allocated residences? But the people close to us may have to support such a large area. The area is still choking..."
"But what's with the circle that surrounds Hogwarts and its surroundings? It seems to be Hogwarts as the center,
Including the surrounding Forbidden Forest, Black Lake, Hogsmeade, and the planning area of the Academy City, it seems that the explanation on the report will continue to dig? Let the underground become a hemisphere...and the loose soil has to be turned into hard rock...I really can't understand, why do you want to do this? It kind of looks like half an egg with its shell cut open..."
...
"This needs to be kept secret for the time being, but what can be revealed is that this project is related to the content that my brother has spent a huge amount of money on researching... When it is successfully completed, Hogwarts will become a holy place in the hearts of all wizards." Lun Eun put away the drawings, "Now, let's have fun."
The celebration will start again, and the atmosphere will relax from the tension and seriousness just now.
After declaring that he was done, Allen spoke a few words with his brothers, and then turned his gaze to his father at the long table.
Owen had already left the poker table and stood behind someone. The poker game was at its most intense and critical moment, so he had no time to pay attention to them.
Allen took a few steps closer and saw that his sister Emily was already sitting in Owen's position. Owen was behind Ai Meili, with his hands resting on the back of Emily's chair, leaning forward, watching The dynamics at the poker table - the positions of father and daughter have been completely reversed.
Grimson, the red-nosed witch, lost his relaxed expression. He stared at the little girl in front of him and said aggressively, "I'll be with you, and I'll be 30 Galleons older than you."
He picked up a bunch of chips and threw them in the middle of the long table, making a gesture of indifference.
Emily pressed the card to her mouth lightly, narrowed her eyes and thought, showing a look of embarrassment, which made Grimson on the opposite side couldn't help but raised her hand and stroked her ear.
Owen said behind Emily: "Sweet Bear, I think he's got you."
Emily turned around, covered her mouth with a card, and whispered to Owen, "He's bluffing...he touched his ears as soon as he was bluffing."
Grimson straightened his felt hat with feathers, and noticed the whispers of the father and daughter in front of him urging: "How about it, will you follow?"
Emily turned her head and winked at Owen triumphantly.
"Of all the children, you and I are the most similar!" Owen whispered in Emily's ear, and he looked up at Grimson who was trying to calm down, "Down with him!"
Emily smiled, turned around, threw all the weights in front of her on the table, and said firmly: "Follow you~"
Grimson put the cards in his hand on the table, leaned back helplessly, and exaggeratedly said to the wizards around him, "I hate this child!"
"What are you doing?!" Morgan Le Fay's suppressed angry voice sounded.
The sound immediately made Owen, who was collecting chips, stand up straight, his eyes widened in horror.
Emily quickly jumped off the chair, pointed at Owen beside her and shirked responsibility without hesitation: "Dad taught me! I've wanted to play with Daisy for a long time!"
After finishing speaking, Emily jumped out and ran away.
Ignoring her daughter, Morgan Le Fay looked at Owen with incredible eyes: "Owen, are you teaching Emily to gamble?"
Owen froze on the spot for a while, not knowing how to react, his eyes turned around the cheeks of the circle of people on the long table, and he saw that their faces were a little timid and didn't look at his wife's face. Grimson even spread his hands at him, making a helpless gesture of beating him, but there was a look of watching the show on his face.
Morgan Le Fay straightened his back, folded his arms around his chest, and said seriously to Owen: "Owen, I have to talk to you."
"Sorry, Morgan Le Fay, if there is anything we can talk about when we go home." Owen pointed to the card table, "If I leave, they won't be able to get together, it's a disappointment."
Morgan Le Fay was at a loss for words for a moment, she understood that Owen knew that he would not do anything to him in public, so she just lingered.
"Father, since my mother has something to do with you, let me play a few cards with the elders, so there will be enough people." Hearing this, Allen came over and took the initiative to replace Owen. He sat down with Emily In the position, arrange Owen's chips on the table.
Seeing Owen's unspeakably bitter expression, the wizards on the long table not only showed no sympathy for this, but cheered excitedly one by one. Grimson's red nose looked redder because of excitement, and he said angrily: "Hurry up, Owen, it's enough to have Allen here, Morgan Le Fay is still waiting for you!"
Owen, who had no reason to continue to shirk, had no choice but to follow Morgan Le Fay and leave the principal's office helplessly.
"Vladimir! Split the cards! Split the cards! Let's continue." Owen's dejected look made Grimson, who had just lost, excited, and he repeatedly urged the dealer's long eyes to deal the cards.
Soon, Grimson's mood turned bad again. It seemed that Allen's poker skills were far superior to Owen's and Emily's. Did you spend all your energy on research, how could you spend so much time playing cards? Why are you so lucky..."
With his head down, Alan heard the words, raised his head, and waved the cards in his hand: "My luck is up to me."
Grimson touched his red nose: "Owen revealed something to us old men... We will let the juniors support you... I hope you will have enough luck this time to lead us from the last failure to the future. Let’s succeed... This is our whole body’s regret, but I didn’t expect that there would be a day when it would be possible..."
The old man's words were exchanged for the echo of the other old men. They didn't speak, but looked firmly at Alan who was watching them, and nodded under the focus of the other's gaze.
"Thank you, I will..." Allen responded gratefully, and then flashed the hole cards in his hand, "I won this hand again, old gentlemen, please push out some chips, Changyan, please push them Give me…"
"I hate the Harris kids!"
Later, Allen seemed to let go of the attack completely, winning again and again and stacking most of the old men's chips in front of him, and then in the new round, when Allen bowed his head, Grimson suddenly Shouted: "Slow down! Look up and let me see your eyes!"
Everyone was reminded that they found that the pupil of Alan's left eye had shrunk to only a small pupil in the middle, and a large white eye was exposed in the rest: "These eyes are... too cunning! This family is too cunning! Cunning!"
"I don't know how you got this ability! Although it would be nice to see it at other times! But you are cheating with your divination ability!" Grimson muttered angrily, "Mr. Grindelwald is playing cards with us I wouldn’t do that even when I was here! Give me back my pocket money!”
"Don't be angry!" Allen begged for mercy with one corner of his mouth curled up, and at the same time, he divided the chips piled up in front of him as a junior three equally and returned them to the old men. He only kept a little bit, and then he waved to himself behind his back, " Then let this Miss Luna Lovegood continue instead of me, she didn't know how to play before, but she should have learned almost the same after watching it for a long time."
Everyone was surprised to notice that there was a little girl with light blond hair standing behind Allen. She seemed to be in a daze, and after responding, she had already sat in the seat that Allen made way for.
