The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Inside the teleportation hall of Forli Castle.

Link walked out of the fireplace while patting the ashes on his body.

He'd be crazy to stay with Dumbledore on that seemingly empty file.

This was originally used by Professor McGonagall to retaliate against Dumbledore for leaving without saying goodbye.

He didn't have to get involved.

As a member of the school board, he only needs to give money and grasp the general direction of Hogwarts' development.

As for the rest of the tedious work, it is better to leave it to Dumbledore and the others.

They've been doing it for decades anyway.

It's just poor Dumbledore, he probably can't continue to sleep.

I don't know how he will be tortured by Professor McGonagall.

Thinking of this, the corners of Link's mouth slowly rose.

And as the door of the teleportation hall was pushed open, Mrs. Foley and Emily also appeared in front of him.

"Link, welcome back!"

Mrs. Foley said happily, and as she spoke, she helped Link brush off the ashes that hadn't been completely removed from his body.

It wasn't until Link was cleaned up that she took Link's hand and walked out.

Throughout the process, Link was extremely obedient.

Because he knew very well that this was the happiest time for his mother.

At this moment, the joyful light in Mrs. Foley's eyes is so strong that others can observe it without Legilimency.

Several people talked and laughed all the way to the restaurant.

Link also kept observing Forli Castle in the process.

The last time he was here was at Christmas.

At that time, the entire castle was covered in silver, and there were bright red Christmas decorations all over the interior.

Gives a strong visual impact.

But at this time, the bustle is gone, and the only thing left in Forli Castle is the dusty brick wall and the gloomy stone statue guard that Link had placed in the corner.

There is a kind of ugliness that cannot be described.

Although it is clear that this is a sequela that only appeared after he saw the Nicole Lemay Manor and Beauxbaton Castle in France.

Forli Castle itself shouldn't be that bad.

But when he thought that Mrs. Foley had been stationed in such a castle for safety reasons and was not allowed to go out, Link felt a little ache in his heart.

He held Mrs. Foley's hand tightly and said:

"Mother, maybe Forli Castle should be refurbished. We have seen a lot of good buildings in France this time, and I guess you will like it."

Emily on the side frowned, and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

She liked the decoration of Nicole Flamel's estate very much.

If Link really wants to transform Forli Castle into that, she will definitely agree with both hands and feet (well, in the room at night).

However, after hearing this, Mrs. Foley sighed and said:

"I have lived here for more than 20 years, Link, that is to say, this is my home. I don't really like too many changes here, it will make me feel at a loss and nervous instinct Get up. Of course, Link, I know your intentions are good. But if you really want to feel that I am alone, then come back and be with me more often, you don’t have to use that method.”

While talking, Link had been led by Mrs. Foley to sit down at the dining table.

All the dishes on the table are made by Little Button.

When this guy heard that Link and the others were coming back, he must have prepared for a long time and spent a lot of thought.

This can be seen from the long table full of dishes.

There are even complex dishes such as grilled Balmora venison tenderloin and many other complex dishes that only appear when entertaining distinguished guests in Forley Castle.

The smile on Link's face became a bit bitter.

Although he knew very well that both Mrs. Foley and Little Button only wanted the best for him.

But he just felt like it made him a guest.

No taste of home.

This depressed mood has been pervading Link until a pumpkin pot was pushed in front of him.

"Come and taste this."

Mrs. Foley smiled and said, "Home is a place to relax, there is no need to be so tense all the time. After lunch, you should take a comfortable bath and sleep. The hot water has been boiled, and the clothes Everything is ready, you just have to go. I also have the bedroom..."

Mrs. Foley talked on and on.

But Link's eyes were always focused on the pumpkin stew.

In his previous life, he didn't really like pumpkins very much.

This crop does not even account for one or two percent of his diet.

He really fell in love with pumpkins on his first Halloween at Hogwarts.

The pumpkin cultivated by Hagrid's magic gave him a taste of what is really sweet.

This kind of sweetness is not only tasteful, but also spiritual.

Maybe the pumpkin stew reminded him of his past life, or maybe the sweetness in the pumpkin did some magical chemical changes in his brain.

In short, once he eats pumpkin stew, he can become happy.

Since then, he has fallen in love with this not-so-expensive dish.

Link's body finally relaxed.

With a smile on his face, he scooped up the pumpkin pot vigorously.

This is really a very simple pumpkin stew, without even the most common ingredients such as dates, raisins, or taro.

But Link ate heartily, and even lost his usual demeanor.

Emily was so startled that she could barely hold her fork.

In my memory, the last time Link ate like this was more than ten years ago when I was a child.

Ever since Link went to school, Emily could tell that he had been restraining himself.

Unexpectedly, this scene happened again today.

She wanted to remind Link to pay attention to etiquette, but Mrs. Foley stopped her.

Mrs. Foley looked at Link silently, her eyes filled with relief.

She knew very well that her son had already understood what she meant.

Home is a place to rest!

Link is here, always able to rest well.

Just like what she said before, after eating, take a rest, take a shower, and then sleep...

Don't worry about anything anymore!

...

Link's rest lasted for half a month.

In this short half a month, he once again strengthened the spell protection around Forli Castle.

In addition, after actual testing, Link has already discovered it.

Due to older age and aging of body functions.

Compared with the young and vigorous hunters, the old saints in Germany are no longer suitable for high-intensity battles.

If these two teams fight head-on, the winner will definitely be the hunter group with stronger explosive power and endurance.

But in terms of defending the city, the old saints seem to be even better.

Their rich combat experience and all kinds of strange tactical ideas that Link doesn't know much about can exert 200% of their strength with the blessing of various equipment and formations in the castle.

As a result, Link naturally dispatched three groups of old saints to Forli Castle to serve as guards.

But this has almost drained all of the old Beckman's strength.

This is actually quite unfair to Beckman.

You must know that he is in charge of the Foley family, but most of the other party's trade, plus the part of the industry in Germany that originally belonged to the Beckmann family.

This should be placed in the ancient enfeoffment system. After all, he is also a big earl with real power.

But now, Link directly handed over all the military power in the hands of the great earl.

How does this make him work in the future?

How to suppress Xiaoxiao?

Link also knew it was a little too much.

So I thought about sending some hunters directly to replenish Beckman's strength.

Of course, it's not all good intentions.

Link is more, still wants to mix sand with Beckman.

But to his surprise, Beckman refused Link's help without hesitation.

Not only that, he also directly gave up the industry in Germany.

He ran directly to Forli Castle and became the security captain of Forli Castle.

All day long, he would not drink and chat with his old saint brothers, or go shopping in the garden with his daughter, Mrs. Foley.

A look of joy in it.

This made Link very speechless, and in the end, he had to send old Klein to take over the old Beckman's original job.

To be honest, if such a comfortable life is possible, Link can even live until the end of the summer vacation.

It's a pity that a letter with the fire wax seal of the Ministry of Magic broke all the peace.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Link heaved a long sigh.

Emily on the side poked her head and said:

"Are you going to work?"

Link closed the letter and nodded:

"Yeah, Old Batty and Percy have some thoughts on their minds, and they are eager to invite me over to talk with them."

He really didn't want to go if he could.

Been at home for so long.

There was inertia in him.

But there is no way, he can leave most of the work at Hogwarts to Dumbledore.

This was because he knew very clearly that Dumbledore would not do anything to hurt him or Hogwarts.

It's different over at the Ministry of Magic.

Neither Old Batty nor Percy is a good one.

If he really became a hands-off shopkeeper.

These two guys are bound to mess with each other.

Just relying on Cedric and his gang, they can't beat old Batty and Percy now.

This is the same as a migrant worker lying at home for two full days on weekends, only to have to go to work again on Monday.

"I guessed it a long time ago. The fact that they contacted you so late has already surprised me."

While talking, Emily got up to help Link organize his clothes.

Link opened his arms and let Emily arrange the clothes for him before he said:

"You don't want to go, help me take care of the house, and coax my mother by the way. There is a lot of work backlog this time, and I guess I won't be able to come back for a while."

While speaking, Link pecked Emily on the lips, and then walked into the fireplace with a smile.

boom--

Flames rose.

With a whirlwind, Link has appeared in the fireplace of the minister's office of the Ministry of Magic.

This office Link didn't make too many modifications.

Therefore, it also maintains the original appearance when Fudge was there.

Compared with the dusty Forley Castle and Hogwarts Castle, the Minister's Office of the Ministry of Magic is obviously more gorgeous.

Under the sufficient light provided by the magic curtain outside the window, the entire office shone with a golden brilliance.

Link didn't quite understand why Fudge made the office look like this.

But now, since he went to France, he understood.

This guy Fudge must have been to Beauxbatons and the French Ministry of Magic.

Because the decoration style of this office, and even the entire Ministry of Magic, is somewhat similar to the Versailles style in France.

It's just that Fudge failed to imitate the essence there.

So that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.

Engage in a nouveau riche taste.

Shaking his head, Link opened the door and walked out.

To his surprise, there were two people standing outside the door.

"Hey, Link, long time no see!" Cedric said with a smile, "To be honest, I really envy you. We've been so busy during this time."

Link smiled and stretched out his hand to hug him, saying:

"Please, I'm not idle, I'm doing another very difficult task!"

As soon as this remark came out, Link could clearly feel Cedric's body stiffen.

"Yeah, we've all heard about it. No, to be precise, we were all taken aback. Everyone is panicking when they come here this time, and they want some orders from you." Cedric took a deep breath and said , "But before that, there is another thing."

He let go of Link, revealing the old man behind him and said:

"Amos Diggory, my father, you should have seen."

"Hello, Mr. Foley!"

Mr. Diggory rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

"Oh! Cedric, what are you talking about? Of course I know Mr. Diggory." Link laughed and held Mr. Diggory's hand, "You are an amazing father, Mr. Diggory, you have cultivated an outstanding talent like Cedric for the magic world of the country! He will surely become a bright star, and your contribution, the Ministry of Magic and history will also be remembered!"

Hearing that Mr. Digory was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

But this is also normal.

Mr. Diggory preferred to hear his son praised than what he was told.

After all, he is very clear that his life has failed, and he instilled all expectations in his son early on.

And Link, obviously, is the one who can decide whether his son Cedric can fulfill his dream.

That's why he must come to see Link.

After exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Diggory for a while, Link and Cedric got on the magic elevator.

"call--"

Cedric sighed and said, "I'm sorry Link, my father... he was a little nervous, or rather, a little uneasy. After all, I was promoted too fast. According to him, this kind of fire-cooked oil The speed of development can't be said to be a good thing, but more like...a kind of omen before a disaster is about to happen. Therefore, he must come to see you."

Link heard the words and looked Cedric up and down.

Cedric was no longer the student big brother at Hogwarts.

Now, with his hair combed back and the Ministry of Magic's summer robes, he looks imposing and energetic.

He should indeed be in high spirits.

Because in the short period of more than a month since he entered the Ministry of Magic, he has perfectly completed his assistant internship in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, and he is about to officially become an official.

According to old Batty's feedback, Cedric should be debating whether to formally enter the Department of Magical Law Enforcement or the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures.

And that was the source of all Mr. Diggory's worries.

It is a good thing for his son to be promising, but Cedric is running too fast.

Throughout history, there are very few people who have risen as quickly as him.

This terrified Mr. Diggory's limited knowledge.

"These things should be handled by you as a son. After all, this is your family matter. No matter how much I say, your father will think I am lying." Link shook his head and said, "And instead of talking about this, you should How about trusting me and explaining what happened today?"

As soon as this remark came out, the expression on Cedric's face tensed instantly.

He looked at Link in a little surprise and said:

"Didn't you read today's paper?"

"The Daily Prophet?" Link said indifferently, "There doesn't seem to be anything special happening there."

"No, I'm referring to the International Wizarding Post. To be honest, we're all... a little scared by the things that are published there."

When Cedric spoke, the magic elevator had stopped.

He led Link out of the elevator and came to a huge black wooden door.

"In short, we actually just want to hear a few words of comfort from you, that's all."

Cedric helped Link open the wooden door while talking.

A huge conference room appeared in front of Link.

Batty Sr., Percy, Sceffen, Newland...

Almost all the people Link placed in the Ministry of Magic were sitting around the huge long slate table in the center of the conference room.

Seeing Link and Cedric appear, everyone stood up and said hello to Link.

At this time, Link also restrained the smile on his face.

Nodding his head, he silently walked to the top position of the long table and sat down slowly.

A sharp and heavy momentum surged from Link's body in an instant.

This kind of contradictory emotion was so overwhelming that everyone didn't even dare to take a breath, and each of them still stood there and dared not make any movements.

Link's gaze scanned them back and forth.

The Ministry of Magic is not Hogwarts. Even though Link is at home on vacation, he has never relaxed his observation here.

It is precisely because of this that Link is very clear that the lives of these people in front of him have undergone earth-shaking changes just like Cedric in the past month or so.

First up were Sceffen and Newland.

These two guys were directly inserted into the Auror office by Lin Ke'an after graduation.

Began to assist old Batty and other old hunters to carve up the power of the Auror office.

For now, they have successfully reached a rivalry with Sander.

It is estimated that in the near future, the entire Auror army should be completely owned by the Foley family.

Another person worth mentioning is Percy.

He was one of the main beneficiaries of the restructuring of the Ministry of Magic.

After Fudge's trial, he went straight to the showdown and became the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, which is the position that Umbridge once held.

But compared to the former Umbridge, Percy's power is much greater.

It can be said that he is now a veritable senior official.

Not only that, but due to the reorganization of the Ministry of Magic, it began to cooperate with the Order of the Phoenix to attack the remaining Death Eaters forces in the country.

The biggest conflict between Percy and his family disappeared.

This made Percy's family relations more than a little better.

According to Link's information, when George and Fred opened the magic joke shop in Diagon Alley, Percy even went directly to support him.

This can almost declare that the relationship between them has eased to the way Link was when he was in school.

And old Batty.

Link originally thought he was just a complete tragedy.

Inevitably a pure beast of power after the loss of his son, becoming as power-hungry as Percy was before.

But it is.

This old guy seems to want to open up after the Ministry of Magic reorganized and divided up a large piece of cake.

Recently, he remarried a young wife. In addition to completing the huge task Link gave him all day long, he was going home to have a baby with his new wife.

From a moral point of view, this is actually pretty bad.

You must know that in Link's original impression, he was always a loving husband and a father who loved his children (although he failed in their children's education).

But looking at it from the perspective of a superior, his behavior is a plus.

Because it means that he has completely let go of the hatred and resentment in the past.

Getting ready to start living again.

These people are living very well.

So much so that they almost forgot the fierce and cruel competition in the past.

Only when Link appeared in front of them again with a nearly invincible posture, did they recall their identities.

Become trembling, terrified.

In the entire conference room right now, only Cedric is slightly better.

He sighed, took out a newspaper from the filing cabinet next to him and handed it to Link, while whispering:

"Sorry, Link, we thought you should know, so we didn't mention it in the letter. However, it's still too late for you to read it now."

Cedric's words are actually superfluous.

Because Link's attention had already fallen on the "International Wizarding Post" early on.

As a paper media founded and controlled by the International Federation of Wizards, the sales of "International Wizards Post" are actually not good.

Generally speaking, except for officials of the Ministry of Magic and very few civilian politicians, almost no one would pay to subscribe.

After all, what is written on it is always some complicated, obscure and uninteresting international "major" events.

It is also because they are simply too big.

So big that it's almost out of the crowd.

So basically no one is interested in them.

In addition, the editors and writers of the "International Wizarding Post" seem to disdain to change this situation at all. They are not even willing to change some description methods to attract traffic.

This makes the articles they publish not only dry and boring, but also with simple titles.

like now.

The "International Wizarding Post" that Link was reading clearly wrote such a bold headline - 'Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry suffered a terrorist attack, and nearly a hundred victims were killed. '
