Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1730 A War without a Winner (One Hundred and Eighty)

Perhaps due to holiday syndrome, the young people who had just spent Christmas in Avalon looked lazy and didn't seem to want to move.

Everyone gathered around the oven in twos and threes, leaning on the cushions, enjoying the leftover desserts from last night's banquet, and talking in low voices about what happened during the night.

Especially the men who have been married for a long time, all talking about their feats in high spirits, attracting the eyes of others around them.

Then, I don’t know who suddenly said lightly: When are you going to get married?

These words directly caused the young man who was still laughing and joking to suddenly feel as if his throat was being strangled, and he fell into a deathly silence.

"If you accidentally get pregnant, let me see what you should do!"

Cedric, who was holding a large bowl of pancakes in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at the guys who had been most complacent before, and placed the plate of pancakes on the small table in front of everyone, "You'd better pray yourselves..."

"Okay Cedric, you don't have to scare them." Fred poured a glass of freshly warm butterbeer for Cedric who was bringing the food, interrupting him.

It is undeniable that Fred had a very comfortable time last night, and his feelings for Angelina also heated up rapidly during the exchange. What Cedric said was indeed a problem, but Fred hoped that they could have a child as soon as possible. , in order to dissuade Angelina from becoming a Quidditch player.

As for others, it depends on whether they have that kind of luck.

If you really accidentally win the lottery, the rest of your life will be difficult.

After all, marriage was indeed too far away for them who had just graduated from Hogwarts and didn't even have time to find a job.

Naturally, other solutions were not within Cedric's consideration.

Most of the boys were not mentally prepared. What they did last night was more of a reckless act caused by a hot head.

"I don't think so..."

"No, if I were you, I wouldn't say those words." Harry stopped what he was doing after eating a piece of pancake while it was hot.

"I thought you had gone back to work at the Ministry of Magic, Harry." Cedric raised his hand and greeted Harry.

"No, I've been busy for more than half a year. Everyone is exhausted. It's time to take a good rest during the rare Christmas holiday."

Harry stared at the hash browns he took a bite of, already deciding to find a way to get a recipe from Albert for Ginny.

Mrs. Weasley's food is indeed very good, but there are really big differences between people. After eating Avalon food, Harry had little interest in British recipes.

Although they are all simple cooking methods, the difference in the finished food is really scary.

"Harry, is the Ministry of Magic still recruiting people?" someone suddenly asked.

"Hi! There are still many vacancies in the Ministry of Magic, but..." Harry paused and did not continue to say anything, so as not to cause any unpleasant things.

After all, he should have stayed to help build Avalon, instead of living in the Auror office of the Ministry of Magic like he is now.

"You should become a regular this year." Cedric suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, I heard that the British wizarding world has been in chaos recently, and the conflict between wizards and goblins seems to be getting bigger and bigger."

"It's not as bad as you think. In fact, both parties are relatively restrained." Harry said nonsense that he didn't even believe, and changed the subject, "When are you and George planning to get married?"

"Harry, why are you more concerned about our wedding than my mother?" Fred couldn't help rolling his eyes at Harry, "It will probably be July or August next year. The specific time has not been determined yet, but It doesn’t matter.”

"It's not that I care about your wedding, it's Kingsley who cares. He seems to think that Albert will wait for your wedding to be over before he starts traveling around the world." Harry knew exactly what Kingsley was worried about.

Although he is very reluctant to admit it, Albert's strength has indeed helped suppress many uneasy factors in the British magical world.

Once he leaves, a big incident is likely to break out in the UK.

This was definitely not something Kingsley wanted to encounter.

"He didn't try to convince Albert to stay?" Fred asked tentatively.

In fact, not only Kingsley, but also the residents of Avalon don't want Albert to travel around the world next year. Having him in the UK makes everyone feel more at ease.

"Do you think that kind of thing is possible?" Harry rolled his eyes at Fred. "If it were possible, Kingsley wouldn't have to worry about things exploding all at once."

"Yes! How is such a thing possible?" Cedric looked at Harry and suddenly said meaningfully, "Albert actually doesn't want to travel around the world, but he really can't care about this mess. I just plan to leave the UK temporarily.”

Even with his suppression, there is no guarantee that something will not happen.

If it cannot be poured out, the continuous backlog will only cause bigger problems in the end.

However, they don't actually need to care too much.

Because even if there is real turmoil in the British magical world, it will most likely not affect the residents living in Avalon.

Unless they actively get involved, trouble will most likely not come to your door.

Everyone fell into silence after hearing this.

After Harry walked away with the food, someone said, "Maybe we should speed up Avalon's progress a little."

The current construction progress of Avalon is not slow, but it will take more time to complete Albert's idea.

They can wait for a year or more, but they may not be able to wait.

After Albert starts to travel around the world, whether Avalon, which is still under construction, can stand the test of time.

Even they themselves don't know.

But even if they are anxious, it seems useless.

Their progress is already fast enough, and it is difficult to increase it further.

…

"Oh, they want to build the villa area first?"

Albert, who got this news from Sana, was not surprised.

"Yes, they are likely to be eager to settle in Avalon."

Sana is willing to talk to Albert about this, but it does not mean that she supports others to disrupt the construction process of Avalon.

As the housekeeper of Avalon, Sana knows better than most people that every step has its meaning, otherwise even if the villa area is built, it is likely that it will not be possible to move in.

Just supplying water to the villa area is a big problem, and sewage discharge cannot be solved, and the problems that will be exposed are far more than that.

Rather than spending a lot of time cleaning up the mess later, it is better to solve all the problems in one go.

After listening to the explanation that Sana got from Albert, everyone accepted Albert's words. Because everyone also realized that building a village requires good planning, and it is not as easy as they thought.
