Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

"Girl?" Old Ollivander was stunned at first, then quickly responded, "Qiu Zhang? That little girl who also has Chinese ancestry?"

Obviously, he still has an impression of this girl.

Glenn blushed and nodded awkwardly: "Yes, that's her."

Grandfather looked at Glenn thoughtfully, and then asked: "So, she will go to China with you?"

"That's right." Glenn said reluctantly, "This was Professor Dumbledore's idea. He said that if I had other people with me, I wouldn't go into those dangerous places."

"To be honest, I think Dumbledore's idea should be quite effective." Dearborn added at the right time.

Old Ollivander glanced sideways at Glenn again, as if he had thought of something, and a kind aunt's smile flashed in his eyes.

Glenn obviously saw the meaning in his grandfather's eyes, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

After the strange atmosphere lasted for a while, Ollivander finally took a step back, nodded slowly and said: "Since you have planned everything, it would seem that I am being unreasonable if I insist on not letting you go.

"

After receiving a positive answer, Glenn and Dearborn looked at each other, the embarrassment on their faces disappeared, and in a blink of an eye, they were replaced by expressions of joy.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

He walked quickly behind old Ollivander and pretended to squeeze his shoulders.

Seeing his arrogant look, Dearborn couldn't help laughing.

The three of them chatted for a few more words. Seeing that it was getting late, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Although the old mansion of the Ollivander family is hidden behind an inconspicuous shop, it is not small at all, and is even larger than the manors of other pure-blood families.

As early as when a few people were drinking and chatting, the elf Charles had already decorated the guest room for Dearborn.

With the kind invitation from Glenn and Old Ollivander, Dearborn was not in a hurry to return to his dilapidated house and simply settled here first.

The matter of cracking the seal has come to an end, and the time to leave for China has not yet been decided. Glenn's life has returned to peace. In addition to helping in the store every day, he takes Dearborn around Diagon Alley.

.

After all, he had been trapped in the ruins for more than ten years. Although Diagon Alley remained almost the same as before, there were still many novel changes that aroused Dearborn's interest.

For example, the most popular store in the alley is Eddie's second-hand store.

Taking this opportunity, Glenn also introduced him to Mr. Carmichael.

For Glenn, intelligence collection has always been a very important task. Although there has been a prototype of an intelligence agency under the management of Mr. Carmichael, it is nothing more than that and is far from qualified.

The ideal state of ethics.

In the conversation just at the end of the semester, Mr. Carmichael also put forward some good ideas and suggestions, such as separating the collection and organization of intelligence.

However, although the suggestion was good, it was ultimately short of manpower. It was difficult for him alone to sort out the large amount of mixed information.

The emergence of Dearborn can solve this problem.

As one of the core members of the Order of the Phoenix, it is obvious that his experience in intelligence collection is far better than Mr. Carmichael, who is a second-hand businessman.

This was exactly what Glenn suddenly thought about the night he returned to Diagon Alley——

Make Dearborn the head of his own future intelligence organization.

"By the way, Mr. Dearborn." When passing by a second-hand store again, Glenn took the opportunity to ask, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

Unlike a street kid like Mundungus, Dearborn also had a serious job before his disappearance as a civilian clerk in the Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters.

Although his status is not as good as that of Aurors such as Kingsley, he is basically on the same level as Mr. Weasley and can be regarded as a low-level leader.

However, after being missing for so long, it may not be easy to go back to work.

Therefore, when Dearborn heard Glenn's question, after hesitating for a long time, he still shook his head.

"I have a suggestion." Seeing that he had no plan at the moment, Glenn said quickly.

Dearborn looked confused, turned to look at him and asked, "What's your suggestion?"

Glenn pointed to the second-hand store in front of the door where there was an endless stream of customers: "Here."

"Here?" Dearborn looked back in confusion, his eyes even more confused. "You mean, work as a clerk here?"

"No, no, no!" Glenn quickly waved his hand and said, "How could I, a powerful wizard, be an ordinary store clerk?"

He greeted Dearborn and walked towards the store, and continued: "In fact, the boss here is the father of my classmate, and this store was opened with my funding. Before actually making my suggestion

, we might as well go in and take a look first?"

Although Dearborn didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Glenn's gourd, seeing his serious look, he didn't refuse.

The two of them walked through the crowd and walked into the store.

Although it is just an ordinary second-hand store, Mr. Carmichael, who is good at this, has obviously put a lot of thought into the layout of the store. Various items are divided into categories and placed in an orderly manner. They are obviously second-hand goods.

But it made Glenn, who suffered from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, not only feel no discomfort at all, but also feel relaxed.

Several young clerks were walking back and forth in the store, helping the wizards choose the products they needed.

There was a queue on one side of the store, with people holding old and unused items in their arms, waiting for the two clerks behind the counter to appraise them.

Glenn and Dearborn walked through the crowds of people and went directly to the rest area inside the store.

This place is different from the orderly one in the front hall. The layout is obviously much more random, with tables, chairs and benches randomly placed horizontally.

At first, Glenn had some plans for such a scene, but it was not until he discussed it with Mr. Carmichael that he gradually accepted it.

For these thieves and crooks who have received little education, only such an environment can make them feel familiar and relaxed.

Several scrawny, drunken middle-aged wizards were sitting at the table near the door chatting, their voices were harsh and unscrupulous. When they got excited, they would hit the table with the wooden wine glasses in their hands, and the contents of the glasses would

Cheap rum was spilled everywhere.

Seeing Glenn walking in, several people fell silent in unison, stood up in a hurry, and raised their glasses to greet Glenn.

Not only them, but almost all the people who were chatting and bragging would take the initiative to stand up and say hello when they noticed Glenn.

Glenn also waved to them and pulled Dearborn to sit down at an unoccupied table.
