Harry Potter Hello Dark Lord

The Welfare Castle was indeed not that big. Under the leadership of the old butler Mr. Tosta Valen, Qin Weijie followed the old Marquis Welfare to the banquet hall.

After walking for nearly twenty minutes, the three of them arrived at the banquet hall.

When he arrived at the banquet hall, Qin Weijie couldn't help but secretly muttered: Will Old Welfare get lost in the castle when he goes back to the bedroom to sleep one night? It's quite interesting to think about it.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door of the banquet hall, melodious music reached Qin Weijie's ears. Apart from luxury, there are no words to describe the magnificent banquet hall.

Anyway, Qin Weijie was already used to the prodigal family of the Welfare family, so he had already expected such a grand event. After all, if you have money, you can really do whatever you want.

Seeing the old Marquis Fuli come in, the guests at the banquet got out of the way and stood on both sides of the red carpet at the banquet, watching as Old Fuli pulled Qin Weijie towards the banquet hall's stage.

Walking up to the ceremonial stage, Old Welfare remained calm and calm. He took the lead and looked around the banquet hall. All the music and voices stopped abruptly, and everyone's attention was focused on the ceremonial stage.

At this time, Qin Weijie also quietly estimated the number of people present. Looking around, he could see that at least four to five hundred people had come to the house to eat and drink. Fortunately, the banquet hall was relatively large, so it did not seem crowded with four to five hundred people.

"Thank you all for being invited," the old Marquis Welfare said. "Today's banquet is not a serious occasion, but it is to celebrate my little grandson, Vijay Qin, who has traveled across the ocean to England."

After hearing Lao Fuli's introduction, Qin Weijie couldn't help but look at Lao Fuli. He didn't force himself to change his name. What does this mean? Are you trying to please me?

"You also know that a lot of things have happened to the Welfare family in recent years. Now the only direct heir left in the family is Vijay. Today is just for him to meet you and get acquainted with you. After all, we will still need you in the future.

Isn’t it a favor?”

The guests in the audience laughed a few times without comment, but to be honest, Qin Weijie didn't really find anything funny.

Is this British dry humor?

"Of course..." Old Marquis Welfare suddenly changed his tone, "I also want to remind some people to take care of their dirty hands and don't touch the head of the Welfare Golden Lion. Be careful of the lion getting angry and swallowing some people alive... I believe it.

I, the welfare family today are crazier than ever before."

The voice of the old Marquis Welfare was hoarse and low, and the murderous intent could clearly be heard in his voice. Qin Weijie could not help but feel that the air around him was several degrees colder.

All the guests present were also silent, no one dared to look directly into the eyes of Old Welfare at this time.

"Mr. Clayton Selwyn, bring those two guys here!" Old Foley said to an old man with a sinister expression in the audience.

At this time, Qin Weijie turned his attention to the old man named Clayton Selwyn. This man's face was gloomy, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and there were extremely deep wrinkles between his eyebrows. He obviously frowned frequently, and his eyebrows were like sword blades, very sharp.

But there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people an indescribable and sinister feeling.

The old man Clayton was wearing a simple black dress and holding a cane in his hand. The head of the cane was a ferocious bat. He himself also looked like a huge bat, which was strange and sinister, making people shudder.

Clayton Selwyn waved his hand casually, and the four strong men behind him turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.

"Ahem~ Augustus, you have to thank me properly. These two guys are not easy to catch...ahem." Clayton Selwyn's old, gloomy and depressed voice sounded extremely...

Discomfort.

"Welfare family will pay you a satisfactory price."

"Jiejie~ I just like doing business with the Foley family..." Clayton Selwyn said, looking at Qin Weijie, "Little Weijie, I hope I can continue to do business with you in the future."

"Of course, that's my honor."

Not long after, four big men came in carrying two strangely dressed guys. These two guys had obviously been severely tortured. The nails on their hands had been pulled out, steel nails were driven into their palms, and their mouths were full of teeth.

They were all knocked off, their noses were collapsed, their eyes were gouged out, and their hair was forcibly pulled out...

To be honest, it is simply a miracle that these two people can survive to this day.

The guests present had never seen such a formation before. Many women had been frightened and fainted, and many men could not stand it at this time.

"These are the two bishops of the Church of the Goddess of Death. They planned the evil incident that happened in Diagon Alley more than a month ago. They intended to assassinate my grandson Vijay. Although they did not succeed, they caused a lot of damage.

Damage, at least five innocent wizards were accidentally killed, and fifteen shops were damaged."

"Today, I asked them to meet you in this way just to see your performance and to see if some of you hired them."

Old Fuli's voice was rich and powerful, leaving no room for doubt. At this time, he also began to look at the guests in the audience.

Almost all the guests lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Old Welfare, not even daring to make a sound while breathing.

"Of course, I believe that the murderer will not be among you. After all, you are all distinguished friends of the Welfare family. I still hope that you can help Vijay more in the future. After all, he is still young. He will inevitably go to study where you are in the future.

Traveling and playing, I hope you can take good care of me when the time comes."

"If Vijay unfortunately encounters an accident in a friend's territory, I'm afraid it will be an unbearable pain for the Welfare family. Maybe an accident will happen soon. After all, things are unpredictable."

Threat, the threat of Chi Guoguo.

The subtext of Lao Welfare is already obvious.

My grandson, no matter where he is, if there is an accident on any one of your lands, the Welfare family will make your entire family disappear from the earth the next day.

Lao Welfare's move has given Qin Weijie a layer of insurance. At least the people in front of him don't dare to have any thoughts now.

"But what if someone hires a killer to kill me in someone else's territory?" Qin Weijie secretly complained in his mind.

Qin Weijie glanced at the guests present seemingly casually. A short old man in sixty or seventy years old or older wearing a pointed wizard hat and gorgeous clothes caught Qin Weijie's attention.

The old man was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.

He was sweating like he was wearing a cotton-padded jacket in the dog days of summer, but looking at the man's expression, it was obvious that he was not sweating hot, but was sweating coldly.

Looking next to the old man, a familiar figure stood there.

Professor Dumbledore.

At this time, Dumbledore also looked at the gorgeously dressed old man with a wry smile.

Only then did Qin Weijie remember that he had been checking information about the magical world during this period and had seen the old man's photo more than once on the Daily Prophet.

The current headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Armando Dippet.

"Poor principal, it wasn't me who cheated you, it was my grandpa who cheated you."

Not only did Qin Weijie feel unfazed, he even wanted to laugh.

After some hair-raising threats, the banquet finally got back on track.

Everyone should eat, drink, chat, and brag.

"Grindelwald has been gathering believers in Europe, I can't believe Hector is still unmoved!!"

"Have you heard? That squib Hitler actually annexed Austria and gave a so-called bloodline speech in Heroes' Square. It's really ridiculous..."

"Grindelwald is a hateful villain. He once used 'pure blood supremacy', 'magic and power' and 'abolition of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy' to win over his followers. But now? He has deviated from his original intention!

"

"I conclude that the Spanish Republican camp cannot hold on for long. They will be defeated by Franco in a few months at most."

"The United Kingdom cannot continue like this. The appeasement policy will only cause the situation in Europe to get out of control. The Ministry of Magic also needs to face up to the situation in Europe. Whether it is Hitler or Grindelwald, they will suffer the consequences..."

The topics discussed by the men at the banquet basically focused on the analysis of the situation. Everyone had their own opinions, and of course they were limited to opinions. They were just a bunch of guys talking on paper.

But there was a name that caught Qin Weijie's attention during the conversation.

Hector, Hector Foley, current Minister of Magic.

In fact, Qin Weijie was not interested in him personally, but he noticed his surname, Welfare, and he was a person named Welfare.

Qin Weijie actually knew early on that all the direct heirs of the Welfare family, except him, had died of black magic.

But there are many collateral relatives. Although they have no inheritance rights, they are also named Foley, and the Foley family will also provide them with certain protections. This Hector Foley is one of them.

"The Minister of Magic couldn't be bought by that guy, right? It's very possible. This is in line with the welfare family's approach. This is very welfare..."

While he was thinking about it, Lao Fuli called Qin Weijie to his side and pointed at a short, fat middle-aged uncle and introduced him.

"Vijay, this is Hector Foley, the current Minister of Magic. His father is my cousin, and he can also be considered your uncle."

Old Foley did not ask Qin Weijie to call Hector Foley Mr. Minister, but asked Qin Weijie to call him uncle. It is conceivable that the authority of this Mr. Minister seems to be unable to affect the Foley family at all.

"Hello, Uncle Hector." Qin Weijie greeted politely.

"Master Vijay, you don't have to be so outspoken. We are all a family. I think you have reached the age to enter Hogwarts. I look forward to your graduation from Hogwarts. I will definitely recommend you to the Ministry of Magic when the time comes.

I think with your talent, it won’t be long before you can become a department director. Of course, if you like to be in politics, I believe you can become the Minister of Magic before you are thirty. After all, our Welfare family has a lot of wealth.

This lineage.”

Hector Foley was obviously very talkative and very enthusiastic, but Qin Weijie could always hear a sense of showing off in his words.

It was obvious that Old Welfare didn't like him very much either. After a cursory introduction, he led Qin Weijie towards Armando Dippet, who was not far away.

"Mr. Dippet, you don't look too good~" Old Foley said in a deep voice.

Qin Weijie secretly said: My face turned pale because of your fright. Only good people can be evil.

"It's okay, it's okay~" Armando Dippet said with a smile.

"Vijay, this is Mr. Armando Dippet, the principal of Hogwarts. In a few months, you will enter Hogwarts to study. You must obey the principal's words. Do you understand?

?”

"I know, grandpa." Qin Weijie responded obediently, as if he were a filial son and a virtuous grandson. He kept calling grandpa, not to mention being affectionate.

"Vijay Qin...Mr. Vijay Foley will definitely be one of the best students in the history of Hogwarts. Albus told me that he is very talented, right, Albus?"

Armando said and looked at Albus Dumbledore standing aside.

Dumbledore nodded, and then asked: "I wonder which college you plan to enter?"

In Qin Weijie's view, Dumbledore's neither humble nor overbearing attitude made him more like a principal, while Armando seemed a little too easily influenced by others.

"House? I haven't thought about it yet. I'll wait and see how the sorting hat is distributed."

Qin Weijie said casually, exchanged a few words with Principal Dippet, and then left with Old Welfare.

This time, Lao Welfare was not in a hurry to take Qin Weijie to meet new people. Instead, he casually walked to the dining table, picked up a glass of white wine and handed Qin Weijie a glass of juice.

"I just mentioned colleges. Do you have a favorite college?"

"It's all the same, I'm very casual. Gryffindor needs courage, I think I don't lack it, and I can also accept the red school uniform; Slytherin is not bad, I think I have a chance to enter, and I can make a lot of friends there.

My friend, I don’t seem to know how to camp, but it doesn’t matter;

Hufflepuff is honest and honest, which is a rare quality. I think I will get along very happily with my classmates there, and I heard that their lounge is very close to the kitchen, which is a good place; Ravenclaw,

Except for the trouble of having to answer brain teasers to get in, everything else is good. The eagle on the college totem is also very nice, and the blue uniform is also good."

Qin Weijie expressed his opinions nonchalantly, but Old Fuli's face became uglier as he listened.

"Can't you be a little assertive? Make a decision that you can be responsible for!" Lao Welfare is a strong person, so he must also be strong in his demands for his children and grandchildren.

"Uh... Don't be angry, old man. I can just choose one! Then let's go with Gryffindor!"

"Why!?" Old Fuli's face turned even darker. He didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with Gryffindor or Qin Weijie's attitude.

"Gryffindor's house totem is the lion, and the Welfare family's totem is also a lion. I think you should want me to choose the lion."

Qin Weijie said, with an expression on his face that said, "Be good, don't be angry, I'm already accommodating your opinion." It was as if he was coaxing Lao Welfare.

"How can that reckless lion of Gryffindor be compared with the golden lion of our family!" Old Welfare drank inexplicably angrily.

Qin Weijie shrugged: "Haha, I know that you, such a strong old man, say on the surface that you want me to have my own opinion and be stronger, but as long as I dare to make a decision forcefully and recklessly, you dare to veto it. Let's not waste time.

Now, tell me, which college do you want me to choose?"

"Except for Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, the other two houses are as you wish." Old Welfare was also slightly embarrassed and pretended to be dignified.

"Why?"

"Don't you see the current situation?"

"Does this have anything to do with the situation?"

"Grindelwald is making trouble in Europe, the Muggle world is not at peace, and the wizarding world is about to face chaos. If it were normal, I would not object to you choosing Gryffindor, but in this situation, Gryffindor

That kind of reckless attitude can easily affect you, and I don’t want you to run off to the battlefield in a hurry. As for Hufflepuff, it’s purely a matter of personal preference. I don’t like Hufflepuff.”

Lao Welfare said a little arrogantly, at least in Qin Weijie's eyes, this was arrogance.

"Strong, invincible! The reason is great. If you don't like being domineering enough, then you have no choice." Qin Weijie shook his head: "We will see when the time comes. I will consider your opinion."
