Chapter 335 You Can Be the Minister of Magic

Gate hours were later than usual on Saturday night, but it was raining heavily outside and students were running around the castle.

This week is Hogsmeade week, and because there is a game on Saturday, the day off has been changed to Sunday, but the weather is enough to dissuade many people.

So students gathered in front of the takeout cabinet, and everyone just wanted to buy takeout.

Today everyone discovered that there is a trademark on the cabinet door, which is a red phoenix with wings spread. Charles changed the Allied logo from "Red Alert 2" and became the trademark of Phoenix Logistics.

Charles took out a bag of jam-filled biscuits from the cabinet and was about to visit Harry in the school doctor's office when he met Cedric carrying a bag of red grapes with him.

Charles asked him: "Has the training for the Potion Championship begun?"

Cedric replied: "It starts next week. We hope to defend the championship this time. The requirements are much stricter than before."

"The principal found the latest magazines and books about potions from around the world, and also found someone to translate them. Each of us has the task of reading."

Charles smiled and said, "Professor Horace Slughorn agreed to return to Hogwarts for a period of time after the Christmas vacation to assist Professor Snape in training you."

"Let me tell you quietly, you also know about the werewolf potion. Now Professor Slughorn is also working with other top potion masters from all over the world in the Himalayas."

He asked again: "Have the third and fourth grade players been decided?"

"No." Cedric shook his head, "A few people have signed up and plan to take a look during the training camp."

"By the way, are you still here to help?"

Last time, Charles took charge of logistics and received unanimous praise from everyone. Cedric naturally hopes that he will return to the world.

Charles said: "I have a lot of things to do recently. The late night snacks during your training camp are sponsored by Dancing Grass Restaurant. I should also be a translator when we go to Kodos Doriz to compete."

He suddenly thought of something, counted on his fingers, and said: "You are in fifth grade this year, and you will be in seventh grade in the next competition. You should be the captain when you go to the magic house."

Cedric shook his head and said, "I'm just good at potion processing, not formulas. How can I be the captain?"

"No, no, no!" Charles stretched out his finger and shook it. "There are many types of team leaders. There are indeed many people who are proficient in professional knowledge, and some can coordinate the overall situation and give confidence to the team members."

"I think you have great leadership potential. Although I didn't go to the Quidditch match today, I also heard that at the last moment, the members of our team believed that you could catch the Golden Snitch, so they fought until the last moment. "

Cedric couldn't help but sigh when he heard him mention today's game, shook his head slightly and said, "We won today's game disgracefully. I apply for a rematch."

"I was behind and to the left of Potter. When Potter fainted, the broom drifted to the left. I thought he was trying to block me, so I flew to the right to avoid it."

"When I caught the Golden Snitch, Professor Snape flew past me to stop the Dementor in order to save Potter. That's when I realized that the Dementor was coming."

"If I had noticed something was wrong with Potter and pulled him, he wouldn't have been blown into the Whomping Willow."

"This game was disrupted by Dementors and was not our true victory."

Charles asked him: "Do the rest of your team agree to rematch?"

Cedric answered firmly: "Some people disagreed at first and felt that it was very hard to win this game. If we rematch, we will probably lose, and today's efforts will be in vain."

"I asked them, are you willing to regard Dementors as teammates to help you win? Now everyone agrees."

Charles patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "You are very suitable to be the Minister of Magic."

He admired Cedric. It was rare to lead his teammates to victory, but it was even more valuable to be able to convince everyone to compete again.

This requires that you first have an upright heart, and only by persisting can you have the confidence to convince others. Otherwise, you will be hesitant when you speak, and you will be vague when being refuted, and people will simply ignore you.

Secondly, you must accumulate reputation in daily life. If you were a freshman in the first grade, they would still ignore you.

The third point is to have the ability to discover the core contradiction. The identification of dementors as teammates is down to the core. The team members can admit failure, but cannot accept such a teammate, so the persuasion work is simple.

Cedric's face suddenly turned red and he hesitated, "I never thought about becoming the Minister of Magic."

Charles smiled and said: "You can think about it before going to bed."

Among the people born in the 1970s, Hermione is currently too naive and Percy is too bureaucratic. In terms of leadership qualities, they are not as good as Cedric.

Moreover, Cedric's conditions were good, and Charles even felt that he had taken the template of the protagonist.

First of all, his handsomeness, temperament and approachability are great advantages. Just like when the old man ran for parliament, almost all the middle-aged and elderly women in the constituency voted for him.

Needless to say, his ancestors had ministers of magic, and they were also eminent.

Not to mention his personal life, he could play Quidditch with the girls who took the initiative to say hello to him along the way.

Charles continued: "I don't think Wood agreed to a rematch."

Cedric nodded.

Wood will graduate next year and wants to lead the team to win a championship at Hogwarts, and has put in a lot of effort for this.

He lost the first game when he was about to win. He felt very regretful, but he was not someone who could not afford to lose. It was impossible for him to refuse to play again. Even if he won, he would be regarded as accepting some kind of charity.

Charles saw someone coming across the corridor, so he laughed and said loudly: "It doesn't matter. I believe Gryffindor can get enough points from Ravenclaw."

Among the Ravenclaw girls who came across was Qiu Zhang. She glared at Charles fiercely, and then smiled sweetly at Cedric.

Charles immediately pretended to be heartbroken and said: "Alas... It's not good to walk with handsome people. I am like dragon dung compost under flowers. Pretty girls don't want to look at me more."

After that, he left Cedric two steps and walked to the side of the corridor.

Cedric's face turned red, and the Ravenclaw girls laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

When going down the stairs, Charles elbowed Cedric and said in a middle-aged tone: "I see you are not young anymore, it's time to find a girlfriend. I think Qiu Zhang is good, she has a good impression of you, do you want to consider it?"

Cedric didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but didn't reply. A boy of fifteen or sixteen is also at this age.

Charles was going to the school hospital to see Harry, and thought Cedric was going to go downstairs to the Hufflepuff dormitory, but he didn't expect that he was also going to visit Harry.

Cedric asked Charles: "I heard that Potter's broomstick is broken?"

Charles' eyes rolled and replied: "Don't worry, he won't lack a broomstick."

Cedric thought Charles would buy a new one for Harry, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Charles continued, "I think we should be more concerned about the Whomping Willow."

Cedric couldn't help but sigh, "I heard that Granger pulled up the Whomping Willow by the roots. I can't believe it. If Professor Dumbledore hadn't seen it, I don't think anyone would believe it."

Charles nodded in agreement. At that time, Dumbledore went to find Harry after he saw that he had the ability to drive away the Dementors. When he arrived, Hermione had already rescued Harry.

Fortunately, Harry was wearing clothes with the Shield Charm, so the Whomping Willow didn't hurt him much.

Charles was also scared. If he hadn't given him that set of clothes for fear that Harry would fall to death, he would have bought him a coffin now.

Now Harry has woken up and is sitting on the bed, staring blankly at the fragments of the Nimbus 2000 in front of him.

Charles and Cedric talked to him for a while, but he just responded woodenly. Seeing this, the two put down the snacks and fruits and left.

Ginny was holding a singing card and was going to visit Harry in the ward. Unexpectedly, she met Charles halfway and was pulled aside by him to mutter a few words.
