MTL - Harry Potter and the Badger Who Can’t Magic-Chapter 122 godson
Auston looked at the pocket of money and thought of the embarrassing scene in the store this afternoon. After buying something, the elf rushed to pay, but the store clerk shook his head helplessly with the 500 euro bill.
It turned out that it was impossible to get change. In fact, many places in France do not use the face value of 500 euros, because most things cannot be sold at this price.
Auston snickered on the side, and before taking out France from his wallet, his father exchanged a lot of scattered euros for him, and he basically didn't spend much after arriving in France.
So the rest of the way was basically all Alston's own pockets, and even the little dresses that Dolly bought at the children's store came from his wallet.
Dolly felt embarrassed.
"Originally, you were my master's guest. The master told me to take the money and treat you carefully, but all the way, sir, you spent money and asked you to buy me clothes. Dolly is really an unqualified house elf."
Dolly held the purse and looked at Auston sincerely, "In return, please accept it."
Auston just smiled and pushed the purse with the big money towards Dolly, "Dolly, I would love to be your friend, not just see you as a servant of the Lemay family, I hope you can understand. ."
"But...but..."
"It's nothing good," Auston interrupted. "Put your money. Even if you don't want to be my friend, please don't measure my kindness in money." The more he spoke, the more serious he became. .
The elf was even more at a loss when she heard this, "No, it's not like that. Dolly has no friends who don't want to be a husband."
"It's just...just..., Dolly is just a house elf, and an elf is not qualified to be friends with wizards."
A smile appeared on the corner of Auston's mouth. He stood up and walked to Dolly's side, squatting down and looking at the house elf who was still wearing a big mask.
"Then let's secretly be friends, okay?" Auston blinked slyly, "Don't tell anyone."
Dolly listened and nodded dully.
Auston used his little finger to hold Dolly's little finger, "Then let's pull the hook, this is an unbreakable oath of Muggles, so we can be good friends."
Dolly was fooled into becoming a friend by Auston in such a daze.
————————————
It was a little late when the two returned to Lemay's house. Auston rode a broomstick and saw the brightly lit Lemay Manor from a distance.
Auston landed at the gate and walked inside, but was stopped when he passed the garden.
"Long time no see, Mr. Brown."
Auston looked for the pavilion in the garden, where Dumbledore and LeMay were sitting and drinking black tea.
"Long time no see, Professor Dumbledore, how are you doing?"
Auston asked Dolly to go in first, and then walked towards the gazebo by himself, saying hello to Dumbledore as he walked.
Dumbledore put down the teacup and nodded, smiling.
"Well, it's not bad, you Mr. Brown, I heard from Nicole that you had some novel experiences."
Auston glanced at Lemay who was sitting across from him, "Yes, Professor, as you said, I did have some experiences that are not worth mentioning."
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Dumbledore didn't ask any further questions, and Auston also understood that even if he didn't say anything, Dumbledore would still learn about his experience from LeMay. Fortunately, he also kept his mind in advance when he said it, and didn't really tell the whole story.
"What did you do all day long?" asked Mr. Lemay.
Auston leaned over and sat on the chair, smiled and shook his head, "I didn't go anywhere, just strolled around the wizard's shopping street, and asked Dolly to take me to the famous Champs-Élysées in Paris."
"Ah, I was negligent. In fact, Dolly has never been to the Muggle world. I should have asked a friend who knows more about the Muggle world to take you with me."
"It's okay," Auston said sincerely, "I've had a great time, please don't say that."
Auston also picked up the teacup on the plate and brought himself a cup of tea, this time it was lemon tea with honey. Probably to take care of Dumbledore's taste with a little more honey.
Sweet things always swept away exhaustion, and Auston took a sip before he felt refreshed.
"I didn't expect Professor Dumbledore to come so soon." Auston put down his teacup and said sternly.
"Professor, you must already know the purpose of the Death Eater who plotted against me. Are you going to go to the auction he held with Mr. Lemay?"
Dumbledore nodded, his azure blue eyes looking at Auston through the half-moon spectacles, "I'm definitely going with Nico. But it's Mr. Brown Jr. who surprised me the most. You I am impressed by his bravery and intelligence."
Auston also raised his head to look at him, trying to see something else in his eyes. But nothing came of it, and there was a rare sincerity in Dumbledore's eyes.
"Professor, you are wrong, I just did what I should." Auston said modestly.
"Don't say that, child, you deserve to be praised."
Mr. Lemay opened his mouth and said, and then looked at Dumbledore, "Come on, Albus."
Looking at the two of them like a puzzle~www.novelbuddy.com~ Auston was full of doubts. He looked left and right, waiting for Dumbledore to decipher it for him.
"That's right, Mr. Brown," Dumbledore put down the teacup in his hand and leaned slightly to look into Auston's eyes, "As you can imagine, there are definitely more than just Death Eaters coming to the auction this time, in order to guarantee the plan. It goes well, and Voldemort will be there in person. You saw him last term, and although he has become like that, his dark magic is still not to be underestimated."
Dumbledore paused and continued, "I can't guarantee that I can bring Nico back safely this time. You know, many wizards regard this Lemay Manor as a holy place. The inheritance of the Lemay family cannot be taken lightly. It's gone. Do you understand?"
Auston nodded. Indeed, even these days, many wizards still visit Mr. LeMay.
"So, Nico decided to accept you as his godson before he left, and I'll be a witness. This way he can fight against the Death Eaters without any worries. If Nico is in any danger in the future, you will replace him. Inherit this place and continue the tradition of the Lemay family that has remained unchanged for a hundred years.”
"How can this work!" Hearing Dumbledore's words, Auston bounced from his chair in surprise, "I... I'm just a student at Hogwarts, and I can't take on such a heavy responsibility."
Dumbledore patted him on the shoulder and motioned him to sit down, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to replace him immediately. But please understand Nico's mood. Didn't you say everything, even if you don't go to the auction this time? If you dodge once, the plot of the Death Eaters will never end. But we all know that Nicole will never give in to Voldemort. Once he is in any danger, Nicole May, the most famous mentor in the wizarding world, will not If it exists again, the spiritual support of countless wizards will also collapse."
