It was getting closer and closer to the start of school, and there was not much time left for the holidays.
Unlike the previous years, many wizard families were busier than before. The renovated residential area of the Hogwarts had been completed, and many wizards had chosen to move in, especially those in the Harris faction of the Ministry of Magic and the employees of the Umbrella Group. They regarded being the first to move into the city as a special honor.
Moving was a top priority for any family, and wizards also hoped to move in before the start of school. Many wizards were in a hurry. They had to decorate their homes, move things in a hurry, and clean up. The joy of moving to a new home made these busy wizards full of energy.
However, although the facilities in the renovated residential area were getting better day by day, each area was too big and the population was too small. It was too quiet. Some picky owners and many large-scale public projects were not completed, but would be completed one after another after the start of school.
At this time, in front of a newly built three-story villa near the University by the Black Lake, the whole building had a symmetrical shape. The body of the building was fresh, bright, and modern, forming a light and lively architectural form, which broke the heavy and dull appearance of the concrete box. The roof was in the Mengsha style, with a twist in the slope. There were many exquisite tiger windows on the roof, which were either round or pointed. The outer walls were mostly decorated with stone or antique stone. The details were handled with French columns, carvings, and lines, showing a romantic and elegant style.
After being stimulated by the strange house of the Lovegood family, Mr. Granger tried to redesign the house. However, because of his identity, he was not familiar with magic. After looking at the ideas of his neighbors, he finally listened to Hermione and proudly used the pure Muggle architectural style as a Muggle. This made him look a little unique among the strange buildings.
A few Undead Knights were helping the Granger family to move the dental equipment and equipment to the dental clinic in the villa. In this Muggle style house and room, Mrs. Granger hung a few white doctor's coats on the clothes hook in the changing room. Mr. Granger was carefully placing the oral phone sterilizer, dental forceps, dental excavator, and other surgical instruments neatly on a long table.
"Dear, these things are unnecessary …" Mrs. Granger complained, "Wizards use magic and magic potions to treat their teeth. You will know when you see Hermione's teeth."
"But didn't you notice that many wizards have rotten teeth too?" Mr. Granger's hand paused. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and turned around to put his arm around his wife's shoulder. He smiled and comforted her, "Even if there are no wizards coming to see the teeth, it is not bad to keep them as a memento and as a hobby."
"Mom, Dad … I'm sorry … Because of me, you have to give up your career …" Hermione was coming down from upstairs with a stack of drawings and plans. She happened to hear the conversation between her parents.
"Don't worry, baby." Mr. Granger waved his hand a little frantically, "This place is great. To be honest, your mom and I have some old lumbar problems because of work. We can take this opportunity to recuperate for a while. Speaking of which, why haven't I seen Allen recently?"
"It is not safe outside now. When it is safe in a few years, we can still go to London to open a clinic. By then, we can install a fireplace in the clinic and connect it to our new home. It will be convenient for you to go to work." Hermione apologetically tried to describe her idea to her parents. She then explained, "As for Allen, because school is about to start, he wants to make some big news before school starts, so he is rushing to work."
"Except for Harris's family, the neighbors' attitudes are different from what your dad and I were worried about. In fact, they are not bad. Grimson, who always wears a hat next door, invited your dad to play cards tonight." Mrs. Granger also comforted her daughter, "Speaking of which, I heard from his wife that his husband is actually quite good at cards. But why does it seem like he has never won?"
"I heard him complain that after he lost his hat to a little girl, his luck was extremely bad … I saw him being drenched in bird poop or something … So I never thought about it. So, it is not normal for him to lose so many cards … You know, I just started learning not long ago …" Mr. Granger suddenly turned around and looked at his daughter, "Hermione, could it be that he has something to ask of you? Looks like I can't play with him anymore … "
"It's possible if it's someone else, but Grimson doesn't show any mercy when he plays cards with Director Owen …" Hermione held the drawing and denied, "Dad, don't worry about it. You don't have to talk to them too much. You know, they used to follow The Dark Lord who tried to oppress the ordinary people. Now, they are always looking for you to play with them to show their attitude …" Hermione paused and changed her tone, "Also, dad, the Umbrella is trying to magicize the ordinary people's technological products. So, the combination of treatment and magic is very promising. If you want to do something serious, I'll ask Mr. Arthur Weasley, whom you know, to come over and study with you. Let's see if you can combine dentistry and magic. Like you said, although the treatment is not troublesome, many wizards live like us a hundred years ago … Erm, I mean, they don't pay much attention to it. Besides, they are probably influenced by the Hogwarts environment and they like to eat snacks. That's why many of them don't have good teeth."
"Speaking of which, their house is really … eye-catching …" Mrs. Granger's tone was similar to her daughter's. She paused midway and changed to a more polite way of speaking, "I can feel that Molly and the rest are really enthusiastic about us ordinary people … Although they are a little too enthusiastic, it's still nice to be neighbors with acquaintances. However, Hermione, I noticed that their family doesn't seem to be welcomed by others? I mean, like Mrs. Grimson and the rest, they never seem to have the intention to invite Molly to a gathering. "
"The Weasley Family's relationship with the pureblood sorcerers is not very good … Although the sorcerers are now changing their attitude towards us Muggle under Allen's guidance, they still don't quite agree with the Weasley Family's attitude …" Hermione shook her head. Seeing her parents' gaze, she knew that they had misunderstood her. She quickly explained, "In the past, they did see the Weasley Family as traitors because they were too friendly with the Muggle. However, now it's more because … You may not know this, but the Weasley Family used to be a little tight on money. It's not a big deal because there are many pureblood families who don't have a good life. However, after they won a big prize once, they immediately spent all their gold coins on traveling during the summer vacation. After that, they didn't even have enough school supplies for their children …"
"Mrs. Grimson did mention to me that they felt that Arthur was a little irresponsible. So that's what she meant …" Mr. Granger said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Hermione, I've finally understood the sorcerer's world. Some things are just like a hundred years ago. However, speaking of gold coins, Hermione, hmm … Does Allen have an elder brother named Lunn Harris who's a secretary in the sorcerer's government? I've seen the news these few days reporting that he had a conflict with the fairies of Gringotte … There are also people who are attacking your protection, saying that you're trying to monopolize the market … "
"Everyone around me is talking about this. When I was walking around the Black Lake, I heard the wizards who were working on the construction were also talking about this. It seems like the wizards are taking sides in this matter. I saw many of them arguing until their faces turned red …" Mrs. Granger rolled down the sleeves that she had rolled up when she was working and smoothed out the creases. "Hermione, your father and I are very worried about you. This is your protection base, but there are still people who have opinions about you. What about the other places where the wizards gather?"
"Don't worry, mom. Those construction wizards are just here to work. They're not Harris' men. It's normal for them to have their own opinions …" Hermione comforted her. "Many wizards are worried that the contraband items in their vaults will be confiscated by the Ministry of Magic for similar reasons. That's why they strongly oppose it. Those fairies have control over the economic lifeline of the sorcerer's world. That's why they're so arrogant and have the guts to reject the Ministry of Magic's search … This situation needs to be changed. Otherwise, the fairies will inevitably become a huge threat to the sorcerer's world in the long run." Hermione patted the blueprint in her hand. "This is the way to deal with them. Our Muggle World is far ahead of the sorcerer's world. This expansion project and plan can change everything …"
"Hermione, we don't understand the laws and the situation of the sorcerer's world …" Mrs. Granger and Mrs. Granger looked at each other. Then, Mr. Granger said with a worried tone, "But from what I've seen these days, don't you think you're a little too … I mean, based on what I know, a lot of wizards seem to be very nervous and afraid of your actions … Of course, baby, your mother and I will definitely support you and Allen … But maybe you should be more careful and slow down a little?"
"Yes, baby. Allen and the others have the Elixir of Immortality … Most of the wizards don't have it so you don't have to be so anxious." Mrs. Granger looked at her daughter with concern. "Even in the world of normal people, we don't know what they'll do if they're provoked …"
"Mom, dad, you don't have to worry about these things. Other than some of Allen's personal requests and family affairs that need to be kept secret, Allen's father, Owen, has asked his aide, Mr. Barsa, to form a small organization similar to a staff to assist us. Most of the plans are carefully thought out and not decided by anyone." Hermione's expression also showed her confidence as the president of a protective umbrella. "So, mom, dad, please don't open a personal vault in Gringotte."
