"Our results are out." Hermione, who had been paying attention to the window, suddenly said. She could clearly see that several owls were flying towards the house. Their bodies were getting bigger and bigger, and Hermione could not help but grab the tablecloth.
The beautiful tawny owls each held a large square envelope. They flew in through the open kitchen window one by one, landed on the table, stood in a neat row, and raised their right legs in unison.
At this time, the little wizards who participated in the LS exam received special attention. Allen was the calmest. While the others were still nervous, he had already opened the envelope, glanced at it casually, and put away the letter.
"Allen must have gotten all twelve O's." Hermione, who had become more nervous, was envious. She wanted to wait until she could control her trembling hands under the table before opening her own envelope. On her right, Harry took the envelope down with stiff fingers. Ron stood up from his seat and took off his exam results in a flurry.
"Don't worry, Hermione. Bill and I both got twelve O's. In Allen's training class, there should be many little wizards who can get twelve O's. Not to mention, you are the best witch in your grade." Percy saw that Hermione did not open the envelope. He glanced at Allen and comforted her with a friendly tone. If it were not for the series of events that happened later, Percy and Hermione's relationship had always been good at the beginning. They were both straight-A students who liked to live by the rules and were not liked by others.
But obviously, Percy's comfort at this time made Hermione even more nervous. Miss Know-It-All fell into a hypothetical situation where everyone around her got twelve O's and she did not.
Harry took the parchment paper and read it over and over again. His body relaxed. He had expected that he would fail in divination and history of magic, but he had actually passed all the other classes. Even Potioneering, which he had been most worried about, had gotten a "good" grade. His finger repeatedly slid over the results of Defense Against the Dark Arts. He knew that he had done well in this class. He had actually gotten an "excellent" grade.
Ron's face was full of joy. He handed his parchment paper to Harry. "Come — exchange —"
Harry looked down at Ron's report card. There was no "excellent" … Like himself, only Divination and History of Magic failed.
"Defense Against Black Magic is excellent. Harry, I knew you would be the best in this subject.." Ron said as he punched Harry's shoulder.
"Hermione, how did you do?" Jenny put her hand on Hermione's slightly trembling arm.
Finally, Hermione stretched her hand out from under the table. She seemed to calmly open her envelope. Just as she opened her report card and saw the results, she saw Penello stand up from his seat and deliberately walk behind her. Hermione hurriedly slammed her report card on the table, but it was snatched away by the nimble Penello. Hermione jumped up from her chair, wanting to snatch her grade back. Penello turned sideways and raised his arm, using his height advantage to prevent Hermione from snatching it away. After seeing Hermione's grades clearly, Penello pursed his lips and returned the report card to Hermione.
Hermione hurriedly looked at her own grades and breathed a sigh of relief. Her grades for all twelve subjects were O's as well.
"Twelve excellent subjects. That's great, Hermione!" Jenny shouted and hugged Hermione.
"That's great. Twelve excellent subjects means that you'll have a wide range of career choices in the future." Weasley praised, then turned to Ron and Harry. "Of course, my dear, you and Harry did well too."
"Congratulations, now you are all students of …" Arthur Kuroto said. Arthur Weasley raised his glass in celebration. They had all inadvertently avoided asking about Allen's grades. Even Ron didn't believe that Allen couldn't get twelve O's.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank merrily amidst the jubilation. After the meal, Allen, Hermione, and Mr. Weasley avoided the jubilation in the shack and took a walk in the garden outside the shack. Arthur and Allen walked side by side, while Hermione was on Allen's right, half a step behind. Arthur? Weasley smiled as he watched a goblin sneak around the garden's fence, as if it was a very interesting thing.
In the hut, Penelope looked through the window at the three people walking in the garden. Penelope was depressed. She couldn't help Allen in business. At this time, she suddenly crossed the sofa and took a pair of binoculars from the cabinet at the other end of the hut. She quickly turned back, set up the binoculars, and looked at the garden.
"Miss … Miss Cleavage …" Percy's tone was a little erratic compared to usual. When he met Penello's eyes, he immediately turned his face away like a frightened little animal, not daring to look again. He hesitated for a moment, then reminded her, "That binoculars was left behind by George and Fred. With their personalities, I'm afraid it's something mischievous. And since they didn't sell it in a joke shop, it should still be a defective and immature product. Of course, I know you're strong and aren't afraid of anything, but please be careful. "
"Got it," Penello said impatiently, her attention completely focused on the garden.
Allen's words pulled Arthur Weasley back to reality. Weasley's attention was drawn. "Arthur, transforming Muggle items into items suitable for wizards will become part of the Umbrella Corporation's business expansion. I wonder if you would be willing to serve as the Umbrella Corporation's research and development consultant, so that these transformations can be carried out more smoothly and quickly. What I mean is that it's different from before, let's be more formal."
"You've always been interested in Muggle, and you know a lot of things that are useful even for wizards. But because places like Hogwarts are filled with magic, electronic products will automatically break down if they get too close. So we have to make them like wizards' radio stations and televisions that don't rely on electricity to function normally. In addition, there are regulations that prohibit the abuse of Muggle items and international wizard confidentiality laws, so if we want to transform Muggle items for wizards to use, we have to rely on an experienced master like you as a consultant. This will save us a lot of detours, "Hermione advised, for the sake of the future goals of the Umbrella Corporation that she managed.
"Turning many Muggle items into wizards …" Arthur suddenly realized the reason why Harris wanted to control the Office of Prohibiting the Abuse of Muggle Items. Everything was in preparation for the Umbrella Corporation to develop these items and promote them in the Wizard World. But this was a good thing, and the Office of Prohibiting the Abuse of Muggle Items that he had worked in for many years could be put to good use. As the former office director, he felt very gratified. However, Arthur didn't understand the meaning of Allen's last sentence. "But Allen, Hermione, aren't I already a consultant? What do you mean by something more formal? "
"Arthur, the reason why we transferred you out of the Office of Prohibiting the Abuse of Muggle Items is not only because we, Harris, need to take control of this position. More importantly, as the director of the Office of Investigating and Confiscating Fake Defensive Spells and Protective Items, your workload is actually quite light. You only need to go to the Ministry of Magic in the morning to do the necessary management work, and you can come to the Umbrella Corporation in the afternoon to take charge of the transformation of Muggle items." Allen sensed Arthur's repulsion towards this kind of behavior that was suspected of violating the rules, so he added, "Of course, if the Ministry of Magic has any tasks, the Ministry of Magic will take priority. It's just a more reasonable use of your free time."
Hermione added, "This is also a good thing for the magic world. It can help many wizards understand the lives of Muggle people."
"The Weasley family has been ostracized for many years because of your excessive curiosity and friendliness towards Muggle. I believe that when the transformation of Muggle wizard items becomes more and more common, when other wizards start to be curious about Muggle, the wizarding world will give the Weasley family a fair treatment." Allen released the last straw that broke the camel's back. He changed the term of the greater benefits that most people were sensitive to to and used it to persuade Arthur Weasley. "In the face of benefits that can benefit others, I don't think we can be influenced by some old-fashioned rules. We can exert more power to benefit the wizarding world, so why don't we do it?"
"Of course, of course I'm willing to accept this position." Arthur Weasley felt that he had no reason to reject such a good thing. His line of Weasley was regarded by some stubborn pureblood wizards as a "traitor of the bloodline" because he did not agree with their crazy belief in maintaining the pureblood bloodline, and was very friendly and interested in the world of Muggle. It was nothing for him, but his family had been treated unfairly by other wizards because of this. If he could correct this with his own interests, and as Hermione said, it would be a good thing for the wizarding world.
Just as Arthur agreed and they were chatting about the goblins in the garden, there was a loud bang. Penello's body, except for his two long legs, was completely covered by a large cloud of black smoke. Everyone in the room was shocked by this sudden turn of events.
