The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Mr. Granger takes Tom and Hermione to Sheffield to meet his old friend Hal Hunter.

Hal Hunter is young and powerful, and has accomplished a lot. If it were replaced by a fantasy novel, he would be the standard backbone of the sect, the genius of the previous generation, the sect's rising star, and a "half-step professor" who is about to break through to the "professor" level. , as such a scholar is naturally entitled to an independent office.

"Teacher, you are so ridiculous! How can you take two children to the Sahara Desert for archeology?" A man with short hair and tanned skin angrily punched Mr. Hal's desk. He looked to be in his early thirties, but he was probably younger than that because the thick black beard on his chin made him look older.

"Will, calm down." A black-haired woman stood aside and smiled to comfort her classmates. She tied her hair into a braid and hung it down on the back of her head, giving people a crisp and neat look.

She only wore a sleeveless sports top and a pair of short shorts, with a wide belt tied around her waist, exposing her slender limbs and large areas of wheat-colored skin, spreading the smell of hormones and perfume in the air. Her lower abdomen is flat without a trace of fat, but the upper part is "like a ridge when viewed from the side and a peak from the side." Her whole body is filled with a feeling of youthfulness, health, and vitality.

This outfit was enough to seduce the gentle young man next to him, but it couldn't make Will waver in the slightest.

"Sarah!" he said angrily, "You should know how significant this operation is. If we can really find the ancient city the teacher mentioned, we will be famous in history! This honor can be compared with other small Did the bastards share it? They are just a bunch of mediocre people who only know how to sit and enjoy——"

"Will Evans!" Hal Hunter saw his protégé jumping repeatedly on the edge of danger. He could only tap the cup to shut him up. He believed that Will would calm down in a few minutes. .

"Teacher," the young man at the end who was addicted to hormones finally came to his senses, "Will was so angry that his words were a bit harsh, but he was also thinking about us. After all, the Sahara Desert is not Disneyland. With It's too risky for two children under fourteen years old to go there. If, I mean if, something happens..."

Hal shook his head, "Alan, I was already tracking pythons in the Amazon rainforest when they were that age."

"But you are different from them, they are just two related people -" Will said hurriedly, but Hal slammed his table, interrupting him.

"Will Evans! I advise you to be careful in your words and deeds! If you keep talking like this, I will remove you from this list!" Hal was really angry, but the reason for being so angry was In large part because Will Evans told the truth.

Tom and Hermione really came in through connections. If you think about it carefully, even if Hal's deeds when he was young were used as an example, it would be impossible for him to take his two children into the desert under normal circumstances. But this is not a special situation!

The old friend who had been friends for decades spoke up, and Hal had no room to refuse. Although he carefully educated Mr. Granger on the risks of the desert, Mr. Granger was extremely resolute this time and firmly believed that his daughter could cope with the difficulties. As for the boy named Tom, Hal knew what was going on with his toes. His initial feeling for Tom was: love. But this idea was quickly overturned.

Because an international transportation businessman named Yuri contacted him and was willing to provide him with funds for this adventure and recruit elite guards for him. However, after finding the ancient city, the two parties needed to communicate a little. This kind of operation is very normal in Hal's opinion. It's just another big shot who wants to clear himself or take the opportunity to go ashore. For him, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages - after all, he is just an associate professor and the project in hand Funds are limited and it is impossible to support an archaeological team in Egypt. Even if Yuri doesn't come to him, he will still go to other big guys to attract investment.

So Hal readily agreed and listened to Yuri's words. He wanted to know how much control Yuri had over this team. However, Yuri said that the communication link between the two parties was Tom, and his people would give priority to listening to Tom's instructions.

After doing this, Tom's identity suddenly became confusing in Hal's mind. But no matter what he guessed, these two people had to join the team.

Seeing that their "boss" was angry, Sarah and Alan both closed their mouths and stood on the sidelines watching the show.

"They can take care of themselves." Hal stared at Will for a while until he looked away.

"I understand." Will finally gave in, but he also secretly swore in his heart that when he became a professor in the future, he would never open a back door for these insects.

"Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the office door. Mr. Granger came in with Tom and Hermione.

He and Hal hugged each other excitedly.

The two exchanged pleasantries and introduced each other to the people present.

Tom looked at Hal: middle-aged, with a resolute face, thick limbs, strong muscles, and rough skin. He was more of a Texas redneck cowboy than a scholar.

Through Hal's introduction, Tom also met the other three people. The sexy and wildly beautiful woman is named Sarah, and the remaining two men are the bearded man named Will and the pretty boy named Allen. They are both doctoral students under Hal. Will is considered the senior brother in their division, and Sarah La is the senior sister, and Allen is the junior brother.

As Tom observed them, Hal also observed Tom: he looked good and seemed to be in good spirits. This was his first impression of Tom. As for Hermione's child, he didn't pay much attention to it. He just lamented that time flew by so fast and that the little one was now so big.

"Okay, we all know each other, so come with me to WORK66." After the greetings, Hal took the initiative to invite his old friend to have dinner with him. WORK66 is a Chinese buffet he often goes to, and it tastes pretty good. As for him choosing here, there are two reasons. First, the taste here is really good, and it is of high quality and low price. During weekdays, each customer can eat all he likes for only 5 pounds, including but not limited to fried chicken, seafood, Beef and onions, sweet and sour pork, shrimp dumplings...

If you book in advance, there are private rooms!

He was very familiar with the boss there. Every time he went there, the boss would give him a bottle of beer or a large bottle of Coke.

The second reason is naturally because he has to meet with his "helpers" here today.
