Chapter 0335 Conversation by the Black Lake
The next morning, Dana received a belated Christmas gift from her family over breakfast.
The two owls carried a large package, humming, and finally threw the package on the chair next to him out of balance, then fell onto the long table, breathing heavily.
He quickly lifted the two owls up, used magic to remove the water stains and snowflakes from their bodies, and gave them some food and drink as a reward for flying in such a windy and snowy day with such a large package. , it is not easy.
After finishing all this, Dana suddenly felt something was wrong. When he thought about luck, he realized why he felt something was wrong.
Normally, if I treat other owls a little better, I will definitely jump out if I am lucky enough to see them, show my presence, and declare my sovereignty. Why are I so quiet today and not doing anything?
He looked around in confusion and couldn't help but laugh. Lucky was lying on the package, spreading his wings as wide as possible to protect the entire package. He called out twice as he looked over, as if to say: "This package is mine, it's all mine." of."
Dana held Lucky in his arms and said, "This is not for you, it is a Christmas gift from my family."
Lucky pecked his hand with his mouth, looked at him reproachfully with two round eyes, and let out an angry cry. He understood that luck meant: "If it's not just for you, why should you share it with me? I'm so kind to you in vain."
For this reason, he was also drunk. However, there might actually be a gift for it. I didn't argue with it and didn't eat breakfast. I picked up the package and was about to go back to the lounge, but I almost lost my way. It's really heavy.
He took out his wand and directed the package to levitate forward, and luck fell on his shoulder. It seemed that if it didn't get something today, it wouldn't give up.
After returning to the lounge, the roommates woke up from hunger and were about to go to the restaurant. Seeing him directing such a large package to come in and not going to the restaurant, they gathered around him curiously. Lucky was flying around, shouting at them angrily, and protecting food and food fiercely.
He opened the package and didn't care about anything else. He first looked for a lucky gift and got rid of it early to avoid it making endless noises around him.
There is indeed a sleeveless mandarin-like cotton coat made by my mother. It is red and decorated with rabbit fur on the collar and shoulders. It is not only for decoration but also for warmth.
After putting it on Lucky, he was very proud and flew around the lounge excitedly for a few times. Before he could mention it, he asked to go back on his own initiative. He couldn't help but show off to the owls in the shed.
After sending Lucky out of the lounge, when he came back, he saw his roommates looking eagerly at the dazzling array of food in the package. He waved his hand and said, "Eat whatever you like. If you don't think it tastes good, don't blame me." That’s it.”
The roommates cheered and rushed towards the food. Wolfgang took a pack with quick eyesight, and while tearing open the package, he said: "No one will complain, brother, there are Bibi multi-flavored beans that taste better than chicken shit."
After saying that, he threw a bean into his mouth and complained, "Why are these beans so hard? It hurts my teeth." He looked up at the package and saw that they were spiced beans.
Before he could explain, Wolfgang chewed as if he had discovered a new world, and praised with an exaggerated expression: "It tastes really good." But his work was in vain, and none of his roommates who were busy tasting other foods ignored him. .
Ignoring his roommates who were tasting delicacies from all over China, he looked at the gifts given to him by his family.
As usual, his father received a check, and his mother received a Chinese robe made of silk. Ivan gave himself a bunch of toys, including a Huarong Taoist puzzle, a jigsaw puzzle, a nine-link ring, a Luban lock, and even a magical version of Chinese chess. What a kid.
He was also surprised to see the return gifts from Lu Fei and Wang Da in the package. They were both bronze medals with formations engraved on them. One was made by Lu Fei himself, a formation that he had borrowed to isolate the inside and outside, and the other was a defense gift from Wang Da. He carefully put away the formation.
Seeing his roommates competing for food and stroking the gifts from his family, he just felt that life was so beautiful and it would be great if it could stay like this for a long time. Unfortunately, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind stopped, and he thought again of the conversation he had with Bauer by the black lake last night.
"Assistant Bauer, what happened to you looking for me?" He asked after standing by the black lake and using a mental scan to make sure there was no one around.
"Fudge has something to discuss with Dumbledore, so I used this name to come to Hogwarts." He said with a serious expression: "There are some things that are not convenient to use owls to convey information. I think it is best to do it in person." Talk to you."
Dana waited quietly for his next words.
"Didn't you ask me to pay attention to who would check your records of the Tracer Charm?" Bolt paused and said: "Two days before Christmas, Mr. Goldstein came to the office after delivering the alchemy items to the Ministry of Magic. Misuse of Ministry inquiries is prohibited."
After speaking, seeing the puzzled expression on his face, Ball added: "Of course, he got nothing. I have destroyed the records." At this point, he showed an apologetic expression: "I originally wanted to forge a But I’m afraid it will be self-defeating.”
Dana knew what he meant. Not being able to find his own records actually reveals anomalies in it, which inevitably arouses suspicion and alarm. It's better to have a fake record. But the premise is that the forgery must be seamless.
It's already good that Ball can help himself destroy records. Goldstein has always had doubts and vigilance about himself. As long as he is not confused about his own strength, his goal will be achieved.
After waiting for so long, Goldstein finally took action. Being so careful has a big plan.
"It's just, how can you be so cautious?" Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "Thank you very much, just destroy it. Did Goldstein go there personally? Didn't he borrow it from others?"
Bauer said firmly: "I went in person." After thinking about it, he understood what Dana meant and helped analyze: "Maybe he attaches great importance to information and doesn't trust others to do it, so he just went in person. .
"Moreover, this information is not important in the eyes of others. Asking others to inquire will make it easier for people to doubt it."
That makes sense. After thinking for a while, Dana asked: "Do you know who the Goldstein family is close to in the magical world and who they have a good relationship with in the Ministry of Magic?"
Bauer thought for a while this time before saying: "I thought about it carefully. In the wizarding world, apart from the rumor that it has a good relationship with Hogwarts, it doesn't seem to be close to any family. At least not like Malfoy or Malfoy. A close-knit wizarding family like Crabbe and Goyle.”
Having said this, Power thanked him first: "I have made a small contribution to Fudge with this inspection." Then he returned to the original topic: "It's the same in the Ministry of Magic, it's just about business and economics. There is no particularly deep friendship between us.”
After finishing speaking, Ball raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is there any problem with the Goldstein family?"
