Chapter 306 Return
Just as Professor McGonagall and Andrew guessed, Durmstrang showed his kindness at the banquet at noon the next day.
All projects related to the Triwizard Tournament are fully concessioned, including the time, location, funding, related magical creatures, and Durmstrang participants - everything is basically the best deal In terms of treatment, the other party really bears one-third of everything, as if they are the organizer.
“It went really smoothly. We originally planned to talk for a week, but looking at the situation, Durmstrang’s staff is eager to send us away tomorrow.”
In all negotiations Afterwards, Andrew spread his hands at Professor McGonagall's residence.
"No, Taylor, you made a mistake on this point. They want us to leave in the afternoon - although we won't record their positions, they don't dare to bet on this."
"That's right," Andrew thought from his perspective. After a while, he even felt that the people from Durmstrang were too polite. Before he could think about it, he would have to drive them away in the afternoon. "It's not a good sign to expose the coordinates. By the way, Professor, where are we?" ?”
“We?” Professor McGonagall smiled, “We don’t have such high confidentiality requirements. We just can’t add Muggle expulsion on the map. Hogwarts does not cultivate dark wizards. "
'Yes, Durmstrang is rich in dark wizards and is a pure-blood base, so the security requirements are different...'
Andrew felt relieved.
"But we have to pay attention to the coordinate issue. Let's do this. I'll go back and entrust Albus to handle it and extend a spell to offset the star projection from the astronomy tower."
That'll be fine - there's Dumble. The profits are there, so there is nothing to worry about.
"I guess your compensation will come in the afternoon. Even if they are impatient, they will have to prepare a decent dinner to see us off in the evening."
The professor nodded, "You're welcome. Take it down.”
——
"It's really a big help, Mr. Taylor." It was still Professor Franz who contacted Andrew after the dinner. "We were really unprepared for such a serious mistake. Thank you for your help."
" The friendship between Hogwarts and Durmstrang was established hundreds of years ago and will continue forever."
"Of course, we think so too, and our friendship will continue forever. "
Professor Franz smiled, and then took out a small bag, "But the school belongs to the school, and the private belongs to private. This is Durmstrang's personal gift to Mr. Taylor. On behalf of our personal good friendship ”
“I’m honored”
Andrew didn't even say a word of rejection - he had already been slapped in the face once, and he couldn't slap him in the face again this time.
Sure enough, after he put it away, Professor Franz's face became relaxed - it's best to pay back, the person in front of me is probably going to stay in school on the day of graduation, and if there are some personal favors mixed in, It will be really difficult for the two sides to communicate in the future.
After returning the things, everyone will get along naturally, which is the best.
——
"Karkaroff is quite generous."
When Andrew carried the small bag to Professor McGonagall's residence, the professor looked at the small bag and nodded - only this kind of seamlessly expanded packaging could reflect Durmstrang's magnanimity.
“Let’s take a look, I want to see what they have prepared.”
The first thing I took out was a thick pile of books.
"Spells, curses, transformations... are all common here but not easy to collect completely, so-so."
"This - war magic?"
< br>
Professor McGonagall picked up one of the thin booklets and said, "It's from the bottom of the box. It's just the basics, but it's enough. Make a copy of it and donate the original to the library."
< br>Of course there is nothing wrong - it is not an endorsement from Hogwarts. If Durmstrang's coordinate loophole is discovered, it will not be a gift but a silence... The abundance of dark wizards here is not a legend, it is true.
“For auxiliary research, we don’t even have relevant professors. This is Durmstrang’s special skill.”
“Well, I can ”
"Okay, let's look at this again...it's really rich..."
"This is?"
"Twenty portions of Fuling Elixir raw materials, and ten standard doses of Fuling Elixir , probably a 24-hour dose.”
“Merlin’s socks!”
Andrew yelled, the impact Lockhart gave him was still there, how much did a serving of raw materials cost? He didn't know about the hourly stuff, but ten days' worth of elixir, hell, if you save a little bit of it, it would be enough for half a year!
"Not counting the raw materials, one standard dose of raw materials can produce up to seven standard doses of Felixir. I doubt Severus even has that many collections in his cabinet."
Professor McGonagall Shaking his head, "It seems that they are really reluctant to let their knowledge leak out. I don't know how much determination they have made with such a basic knowledge. Pack up your raw materials and potions. Don't use them indiscriminately on a daily basis. Keep the raw materials sealed. Forget it, I'll do it - You may learn how to cook it in the future when you learn potions."
"There is something else, Professor."
"Let's take it out and take a look. There's probably nothing good after all. It's a holiday, and there's only so much I can give out. "
Sure enough, there's nothing left - a money order for a thousand galleons from Gringotts, a small cup that can automatically generate ice cubes, that's all.
"It's really a lot. Keep it for yourself. Remember to copy the book of War Magic and donate it."
Professor McGonagall shook her head, "That's about it. Go back and have a good rest and find one tomorrow morning." Let's make an excuse to go back to school. If we don't leave, we'll be in a hurry."
"Well, okay, Professor, I'll go back right now."
There's something wrong with the schedule--it was originally planned. Buy the local curse book, but the wizards of Durmstrang will go crazy if you stay any longer.
So Andrew had to go back and start selecting - find a good-looking book among the gifts, go back and make a copy, and then give the original as a gift.
——
In the early morning of the next day, the professor decisively asked Albus to have a meeting. The school could not leave with the excuse that no one would be watching. Principal Karkaroff performed the last farewell performance, and then everyone was depressed. Happy to leave Durmstrang.
This time is the door key to return to Germany.
The proud Andrew felt the dizziness again.
But it's much better this time - I don't know if it's because of the heavy bag.
"Let's go buy a ticket and then return."
"Professor, are you buying a ticket too?"
"Do you really want Albus to go to the meeting?" The professor was unusually calm, "We Let’s leave the country first, and then go buy some books when we get to England. I have to research what that position is about before I can tell Albus what we need.”
Just ask the principal to attend more classes...
Okay - Andrew said nothing.
