The Bard at Hogwarts

Someone once said that everything in the world is relative.

Black and white, good and evil, even noisy and quiet, are always in a state of mutual opposition but unity and coordination.

It is also true that in a noisy auditorium, there are always a few places that are quiet.

Slytherin's long table.

After Crom sat down next to Ino, he was surprised to find that none of the people who were chasing autographs before were there at the moment.

Of course, he also knows that this is not the decline of his fame, but that many people are unwilling to join in at this time.

This situation has also happened in Durmstrang, especially after this year's Quidditch World Cup ended, and the alma mater also experienced a wave of pursuit after the school started.

And this pursuit is also rational. As long as the professor is around, everyone has a tacit understanding not to disturb him.

Thinking of this, Krum looked at the young man beside him calmly. Although he was only wearing an ordinary plain robe, it looked like a tailor-made evening dress when he wore it.

With short black hair and a dark green collar, he is calm and mysterious.

After Ino noticed Klum's gaze, she turned her head slightly:

"If we're just chatting, I think it's almost time now. After all, we have classes tomorrow."

After the exchange just now, he knew very well that Crom had a certain purpose, but since the other party never said anything, he was too lazy to waste any more time.

On the other side, when Krum saw that Ino was about to get up and leave, he stopped rambling and said straightforwardly:

"It's about the video mirrors! I want to introduce them to Durmstrang..."

As a professional Quidditch seeker, Krum is well aware of the dangers of this profession and its short career. Therefore, before graduation, he always had to take advantage of his fame to make some plans for himself in ten years.

"You should talk to the person in charge about this matter, not me!"

Hearing that it was about the video mirror, Ino waved his hand and decisively refused.

Although the things belong to him and he is the major shareholder, since a board of directors has been established, some things cannot be done arbitrarily. The rules are the rules.

"I know this. I wrote many letters but never got a response. I don't expect privileges, so I lack a chance to meet Mr. Flint..."

Seeing that he was misunderstood, Krum ignored the language barrier and spoke out his thoughts and the general story of the matter as quickly as possible.

"No response?" Ino frowned slightly.

In a lot of broken English, he accurately grasped the key points.

It stands to reason that with Krum's reputation, especially after his success in Quidditch, it is impossible for his letters to sink into obscurity.

This is like a top Muggle football star requesting an endorsement from a luxury goods company. Even if the company has no intention of hiring an endorsement, they will politely refuse to respond.

In just a few seconds, Ino thought of many possibilities, but now that there was no basis for it, he couldn't say much.

"Thank you! I know about this. I will give you a positive answer before Halloween."

No unnecessary delays.

After Krum said goodbye, Ino stood up and walked out of the auditorium.

There was only a slight pause when passing Draco, and the latter also chose to leave together.

…

To be honest, in such a large auditorium, it is common for there to be one more person or two less people.

Of course, the premise is that the person leaving is irrelevant or unremarkable.

Ino and Klum sit together, this is no longer the effect of one plus one.

Seriously speaking, aside from the Irish team's team honors, only the two of them achieved success in the 422nd Quidditch World Cup.

So while no one intrudes during their chat, the focus is always on.

Ino's departure was noticed by many people, including the Gryffindor table, the Ravenclaw table, and even Beauxbatons...

Of course, the little badgers are still eating, drinking and having fun.

…

Underground of the castle.

People probably gathered in the Great Hall, making the silent corridor seem a bit cold, but it was the only way to the Slytherin common room.

Draco followed Ino silently. Although he didn't know what happened, he knew it was definitely not a pleasant thing. Remaining silent at the moment was the only smart choice.

In this quiet atmosphere, we soon arrived at the entrance to the common room.

After the password was verified, a passage opened from the middle of the wall.

All the way back to the dormitory.

"Draco, have you ever paid attention to the video mirror thing?"

After sitting down, Ino asked straight to the point.

In fact, he had also considered this matter on the way just now. There was a high probability that it had nothing to do with the Malfoy family. Even if Draco was really stupid, Lucius would stop him immediately.

"Movie mirror?" Hearing this, Draco was stunned for a moment.

But soon, he realized that there must be a problem in some link. This is no small matter. Without any hesitation, he immediately said:

"I had no control over their operations. I only invested ten thousand Galleons in capital and provided a shop covering an area of ​​900 square feet in Diagon Alley. Other than that, I didn't pay too much attention to anything. have……"

A series of information, even including dividends and tidbits, in short, Draco told everything he knew.

Ino sat calmly in the chair. It seemed that Draco was not lying, which made him feel relieved.

"Please write a letter to Marcus to gather all the people involved in the operation. We need to hold a meeting next weekend! Of course, those who only enjoy dividends are also welcome to attend."

"I'll write it now." Draco nodded calmly, and asked after a moment: "Where is the location? In the Diagon Alley shop or Malfoy Manor?"

"Let's put it in the Diagon Alley shop. This is not a banquet, so it doesn't need a big place!"

After a little thought, Ino still chose Diagon Alley. Some things can't always be placed in other people's places.

Similarly, this incident also reminded him that maybe he should buy a manor. Although it may cost a lot, what he lacks the least now is money.

In order to facilitate the distribution of dividends, he also took time to go to Gringotts, but after opening his own vault, he never cared about it again.

Although it is not clear how much money there is now, it is not less.

...

After talking about business, the dormitory became quiet.

Draco was bent over his desk, writing a letter while thinking about the conversation he had with his father before school started.

‘Galloon has magical powers, but as the heir of the Malfoy family, the first thing you need to learn is to refuse greed…’

His father’s advice was still ringing in his ears. He didn’t think it was anything at the time, but now it seems that Galloon really has magical powers.
