Chapter 244 Cats never do business at a loss
"Argus, after the little wizards who are above the third grade leave the castle, close the gate immediately, and any little wizards under the third grade are not allowed to leave the castle, and those secret passages, you must watch closely," Umbridge and Ferrer said. Qi stood on the castle tower, looked at the crowds of wizards below, and laughed and boarded the carriage to Hogsmeade, "Dumbledore is really calculating!"
"What's the calculation?" Filch scratched his thinning hair, "Today is Hogsmeade Week, as it always does every year."
"Of course this is Dumbledore's plan!" Umbridge looked at the little wizards with resentment, "After my efforts, the loose learning environment at Hogwarts has improved a little bit, and he will give these students A chance to relax, he wants to win over these students and ruin our plan!"
"Argus! Think about it, if every student just wanted to have fun, the whole school would become an unprogressive comfort zone. No rules would bind them, and no one would be punished. Your shackles will always be there." Can't use it!"
"The key point is that the minister's plan cannot be missed. We must let the outside world see that under the management of our Ministry of Magic, these students can become talents, and he Dumbledore! Can only be a crazy old man! people despise!"
"Ah! So that's how it is!" Filch suddenly realized, and then he frowned again, "But now we can only control students below the third grade, and Hogsmeade Week is a custom."
"Do you think I didn't think of that?" Umbridge said triumphantly, "I wrote to inform the major reporters last night that they are already on their way to Hogsmeade village. When the time comes, I will tell those Reporters, a large number of underage wizards, went to the bar to hang out during Dumbledore's Hogsmeade week, if they really met little wizards inside, they would be drinking recklessly!"
Is this the method of a senior official of the Ministry of Magic?Filch looked at Umbridge in shock, this shit was so accurate and ruthless!
"Argus, you have to learn to use your brain." Seeing Filch's shocked expression, Umbridge felt more and more proud. "When the reporters finish taking pictures, I'll take them to the castle and see what's going on inside me. Under the management, how do those junior students spend their weekends..."
As soon as her words fell, the Floating Void City on the south side of the castle, 12 propellers with golden tail flames, burst into the sky with a huge roar at the same time!
This take-off was completely different from the previous ones, surrounded by the floating platforms floating around the floating city, they flew into the sky together.
"How did it take off?" Umbridge asked Filch blankly as he watched the gigantic floating city rise rapidly into the sky.
"Hmm! It's flying very fast, which direction is Hogsmeade?" Filch squinted his eyes, looking at the black dot that was fading away in the sky.
"Forget it! That black cat is not in our plan, we'd better go and close the gate first, little wizard in the castle, you must watch carefully," Umbridge said, and hurried down the tower. Qi followed closely, "When I come back with those reporters, there must be no trouble here!"
"I think it's impossible for there to be any disturbances here." Filch stopped in his tracks, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet. He quickened his pace and rushed to the foyer to look around. No matter whether it was the main building of the castle, the auditorium, or the corridors, there was nothing there. Any little wizard.
"Huh! Huh! What, what's wrong! Argus!" Umbridge was out of breath, and asked Filch with her tired voice from a long distance, "What happened? What's wrong?"
"It's gone! The castle is empty! The little wizards are all gone!"
"Are you satisfied now?" Macon stood on the sightseeing floor, looking at the crowded square, "According to your request, all the little wizards from the other four colleges are here."
"Very satisfied! Now I really want to know what Umbridge will look like when he finds that there is no one in the castle!" Hermione said happily. She heard about Macon's plan last night, and she was not afraid of being held accountable afterwards. .
The floating city slowly stopped above Hogsmeade Village, and the floating steps stopped circling, flew down to the ground, and turned into a platform. The merchants who had been waiting below pushed their mobile stalls onto the platform, waiting quietly for the platform to pass. They took the floating city.
The senior students who came here earlier looked in surprise at the merchants who closed their shops one after another and rushed to the center of the village pushing their carts.
"Why are you all closed? Are you still pushing the stalls? How come the floating city?"
"Ha, you little wizard from Hogwarts, you are not well informed about business like us, today the floating city is open to the public for a day! Allow merchants in our village to go up and set up stalls, my God! You can go up to visit the floating city, I can do business on it again! This is simply perfect! Although each booth will take [-]% of the profit, this kind of opportunity! Look at the entire wizarding world! Only Hogsmeade Village has this kind of treatment!"
"Stop chatting! Hurry up, you won't be able to get a good seat if you go late! I just saw the proprietress of Three Broomsticks, Ms. Rosmerta, and a few of her buddies, pushing a dozen barrels of fruit juice up early! "
"Yes, yes! Hurry up, look at those guys! The merchants who came here overnight after hearing the news! I don't know which guy leaked the news!"
"Don't worry! You only see a lot of competitors, but don't you see the tourists on the street? This is much more than the people who come here at Christmas!"
The merchants boarded the floating city in an orderly manner, because there was nothing they could do in a hurry, there was only one platform each time they landed, and crowding could easily cause unnecessary casualties. After they all boarded the floating city, half an hour later, it was the turn of tourists them.
"Quick! Quick! Argus! Quicker! Ah!~" Umbridge screamed.
Argus drove a dilapidated and moldy carriage very fast, and the muddy road was full of small puddles.
"Argus!~ What broken carriage are you looking for?" Umbridge stepped on strange shapes with both hands firmly grasping the handle on one side. Whenever the carriage passed through puddles, the muddy water splashed by the wheels They will all fly up from under the carriage, and the chassis is full of holes.
"Be patient! I've already seen Hogsmeade!" Filch swung his whip and lashed at two old Cleveland Bay horses. "This is already the best carriage I could find. !"
When they arrived at the center of Hogsmeade village, the last floating platform carried an elderly witch on crutches, slowly ascending.
Umbridge and Filch were like two mud figures at this time, and the whole Hogsmeade village was as strangely quiet as the castle.
