I'm Willing to Bring My Talents to Scotland
The four of them left the office and headed towards Slughorn's office.
This unusual combination undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.
Many students thought that William was so angry he was practically grinding his teeth in hatred for him, bringing three female companions with him at once.
The boys thought that William not only had Granger, who was both beautiful and academically gifted, but he was also greedy and unsatisfied!
Don't you know that the male-to-female ratio is currently imbalanced, and many male wizards are still single?
The biggest scumbag at Hogwarts!
The little witches were even more furious. Did Stark really prefer to invite Lovegood, that Loony, to the party rather than invite them?!
In what ways are we inferior to her!
England's number one scumbag!!
William was speechless. He thought his reputation had hit rock bottom in recent years thanks to Hermione and her sister Anne.
Even if we don't expect a rebound, we should at least be able to maintain our current level, right? I didn't expect there to be room for further decline.
On the way, William also encountered Peeves.
After the twins left, Hogwarts' biggest rumor-monger floated in mid-air, singing wildly:
"Baby Potter invites the Weasley King to a party!"
Silly baby has fallen in love with the King! Silly baby has fallen in love with the Weasley King!
He flew away in a flash, giggling and screaming all the while.
William knew that Harry had invited Cho and Ginny, but they had both declined. He never expected that Harry would invite Ron in the end.
Peeves is still spreading the word everywhere; I wonder if Malfoy will come to catch them cheating tonight.
William gave Malfoy plenty of time to think; if he was smart enough, he would definitely attack tonight.
Because it caused a big commotion, but with William there, no one would die, which would be good for Voldemort to explain.
When I arrived at the Entrance Hall, there were many girls loitering there.
They didn't have invitations and couldn't sneak in, so they could only stand at the entrance and see if there was a chance to slip in.
Many girls came over and asked William if he could take them in with him.
William, of course, refused.
He also saw the India twin sisters, Parvati.
Parvati hinted to William that if he brought her in, he could simultaneously date her and her sister Padma.
What kind of weird sister is this?
But wow, those are beautiful twin sisters...
But William refused without even thinking it over.
He swore it had absolutely nothing to do with Hermione's icy gaze or her right hand holding the wand.
Hermione knows him!
"Didn't you go back to India? Why are you back again?" William asked curiously.
After Hannah, the blacksmith, went home, the two twins also left.
At the time, their parents even wanted to collaborate with William to sell India miracle drugs in the United Kingdom.
"I've temporarily convinced them that Hogwarts is safer," Parvati sighed.
"You don't know, India is even more terrifying than United Kingdom."
There's just war here, but an epidemic has broken out over there, hospitals are out of beds, and there aren't enough oxygen cylinders.
Not only the healthcare system, but even the funeral system has been overwhelmed. Crematoriums are burning all day long, releasing excessive levels of sulfur dioxide.
Another 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck in the last two days...
"..."
It seems India's national fortunes are a bit bad; they still have a long way to go to achieve their goal of becoming the world's most populous country.
After saying goodbye to Parvati, the four of them headed toward Slughorn's office.
Slughorn's office was enchanted with Undetectable Extension Charm, making the room feel quite spacious.
The walls were draped with emerald green, deep red, and gold curtains, making it look like a large tent.
In the center of the ceiling, a golden lamp shone brightly, casting a red glow.
House-elf House-elf inside the lamp, each one a bright point of light.
In the corner, there was also the White-bearded Wizarding Bandits.
The lead singer was an old man, while his sons played the percussion instruments.
It's said that to join this band, you have to recognize the old man as your godfather.
Several male wizards, engrossed in conversation, were puffing out smoke from their pipes, their heads enveloped in wisps of blue mist.
House-elf squeaked as they moved about, carrying heavy silver platters laden with various drinks.
Slughorn was pulling Harry's arm, introducing him to famous wizards and helping him build connections.
"Harry, you've been busy with Quidditch Match lately. This is a real professional player; you could try talking to her."
Slughorn wore a velvet hat with tassels and carried a large opium pipe.
He pointed to a witch, as if introducing a big star, and solemnly said:
"That's right, she's the captain of Gwenog Jones ' famous Holyhead Harpies."
Gwenog was a very well-built young witch, and she looked a good size older Harry.
Harry was a little excited and wanted to ask if he knew Wood.
By the way, what skill level is required to join the club?
Ron, who had been standing next to Harry, was now pushed aside and stared longingly at Gwenog.
This person is far more well-known in the United Kingdom than Krum.
One is Bulgaria star; the other is a domestic Quidditch star, and also a great beauty.
The popularity will definitely be different.
Ron followed Harry here because he wanted to ask her for an autograph.
But now nobody pays attention to him, Slughorn won't introduce him either, so he's been completely squeezed out.
Just as Ron was about to muster his courage, everyone turned to look at the door, and the room fell silent.
It seems an important person has entered.
Slughorn, who had been watching closely at the door, immediately abandoned Harry and said in Sonorus:
"William, ho ho, my child!"
The main characters have finally arrived, along with Hermione and Anne.
Slughorn pushed through the crowd, looked at the stunningly dressed Hermione, and exclaimed in surprise:
"Oh, you two are so beautiful, the most beautiful little witches I've ever seen."
His praises poured out recklessly.
When they heard that Stark had arrived, everyone crowded around.
The main reason they attended the gathering, besides Slughorn's invitation, was that they had heard Stark would be there.
Upon seeing him, many wizards gasped in surprise, their eyes filled with fervor, worship, and awe.
Unlike the students at the school who see William every day and don't feel much impact, these wizards are the ones who know about Stark's fame and power.
Especially in the last year, he has been portrayed as one of the people You-Know-Who fears most.
In an instant, the center of attention at the entire party was focused on William, and everyone was waving at him.
Seeing that everyone had gone far away, Ron felt he had an opportunity and walked towards Gwenog.
He opened his mouth to ask for an autograph, but Gwenog didn't even look at him and climbed onto the table instead.
She was like a fangirl, standing on the table, waving excitedly:
"Mr. Stark, it's been a long time."
"Gwenog, you're here too?" William looked up at her.
"Oh, you know each other?" Slughorn said in surprise.
William met this captain during the time loop.
There were even rumors of "broom shaking" circulating in the newspapers.
The news was obviously fake; William simply wanted to infiltrate the Holyhead Harpies and train with the professional players.
Of course, it's worth mentioning that the Holyhead Harpies are an all-female Quidditch club.
William genuinely just wanted to train; he had no other ill intentions.
Outside of the time loop, William also had a friendly exchange with Gwenog.
Through his acquaintance with William, Gwenog finally managed to squeeze into the group.
She inquired enthusiastically:
"William, I heard you've bought the Chudley Cannons. How much did you spend?"
"Not much, just a few hundred thousand Galleon," William said vaguely. "What, you want to transfer?"
"Of course." Gwenog blinked.
She was the captain of the Holyhead Harpies and had a high profile, but the team was all female, so they couldn't win a championship.
Now that William, this tycoon, has bought the Chudley Cannons, things are different...
"If you're willing to rebuild the team around me and help me get a few players..." Gwenog said enthusiastically.
"I'd love to take my talent to Scotland and play my hometown Quidditch!"
William: "..."
