#56 - Section 56

Ethan also saw her embarrassment. Not everyone could face pure-bloods without pressure, as he could.

"Getting ten certificates is a pretty good result!"

This year, only Gryffindor's Percy Weasley did better than her, getting twelve certificates; everyone else was inferior to her.

It wasn't that Penelope couldn't get them, but it was meaningless. Seven mandatory courses, five electives. Penelope gave up two electives: Divination and Muggle Studies.

Getting a Divination certificate was useless, and the course was easy to pass. Getting the certificate wasn't difficult.

A Muggle Studies certificate was only useful for interviewing for a Muggle Liaison position, and Penelope was Muggle-born anyway. She could pass with a little study, but she didn't want to become a Muggle Studies researcher.

In fact, she had no confidence that she could get a job at the Ministry of Magic with ten certificates.

"With this kind of result, Hogwarts might not produce one in a year. Don't worry, your wish will definitely come true."

Ethan comforted her.

Ten certificates. There were only three recorded recipients of twelve certificates.

Barty Crouch Jr. If his mind hadn't gone wrong, his father would have been Minister for Magic, and he would have had a bright future. Unfortunately, he screwed his father over.

Bill Weasley went to work at Gringotts after graduation, the only financial institution in the wizarding world.

Percy Weasley also entered the Ministry of Magic upon graduation, with a pretty good position.

In the original book, even Hermione only took ten subjects, but only got nine certificates. Her Defense Against the Dark Arts was only 'Acceptable'.

Ron got none, and Harry only got one in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

This shows that the O.W.L.s exams have some value.

"I hope so!"

"Rest assured, as you wish!"

Ethan was quite certain about this.

Excellent students can get rewards for becoming Minister for Magic, and there should definitely be rewards to be earned, and the grade won't be low.

So, after seeing these two achievements this morning, Ethan also had the idea of becoming Minister.

In the original story, after Dumbledore and Voldemort kicked the bucket, Great Britain had only a few small fries. Who could stop him?

Even if they didn't kick the bucket, he could forcibly rise to the top after developing himself.

As the saying goes: The strong and powerful are king!

Regardless of Muggles, pure-bloods, or half-bloods, the one who can fight is the Minister for Magic.

After getting the reward, Ethan didn't want to be any kind of Minister for Magic. He could just throw the position to Penelope.

As for Hermione, although she became Minister for Magic in the original story, she wasn't really suitable for the position. It wasn't just about being smart.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The carriage door was knocked from the outside, and Harry's voice rang out.

"Ethan, are you in there?"

He had asked a few classmates before finding Ethan here.

"Yeah, just pull the door open."

Harry pushed the door open, smiled shyly at the others, and then said:

"Ethan, can you come out for a moment?"

"I have something to tell you."

He couldn't quite say it in front of so many girls!

"Okay!"

Ethan left with Harry and came to an empty passageway.

Harry took a deep breath and said sincerely to Ethan:

"I came to apologize. I misunderstood you last time."

"I'm sorry!"

After waking up in the school hospital, Harry had a long chat with Dumbledore, including the issues of Ethan taking the Philosopher's Stone and mixing with Voldemort, and using himself to block the curse.

Dumbledore also gave an explanation and tricked Harry, and the final result Harry got was.

Ethan was arranged by Dumbledore to protect the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone has now been destroyed by Dumbledore. He is not afraid of Voldemort's magic because of his mother's protection. Ethan was also able to defeat Voldemort by using this point, so Ethan is on his side, and he is the best weapon to deal with Voldemort.

Harry felt regretful at the time. He shouldn't have said that to Ethan.

Ethan clearly prevented Voldemort from obtaining the Philosopher's Stone. Although he suffered a little in the process, the result was good. Good people shouldn't be framed.

"It's not your fault. I shouldn't have used you to deal with the Dark Lord either, but there was no better way at the time."

"No, I don't mind you using me to attack Voldemort. He killed my parents. As long as I can ruin his plot, I can do anything."

Harry's expression was quite serious when he said this.

Knowing that Voldemort killed his parents, and that he ruined Voldemort's plot and turned his body to ashes, Harry was very grateful to Ethan. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been able to do this. As for the physical pain, what was it compared to the hatred of killing his parents?

Then Ethan chatted with Harry for a few words, and they separated when someone walked over here.

Voldemort, or the Dark Lord as they called him, was not something that could be discussed publicly.

Back in the carriage, Ethan continued to accompany the four girls, and Harry could only chat with his good buddy Ron.

In the evening, the train slowed down until it stopped at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

As before, Ethan, who had just got off the train, saw a large number of parents coming to pick up their children.

Ethan saw Fred and George talking to a middle-aged fat witch, and then either Fred or George's ear was grabbed.

Perhaps Professor McGonagall had sent the Weasley family the good deeds they had done this semester!

There was also a red-haired, freckled, round-faced little girl next to them, who was probably their sister Ginny.

Belinda Vole walked gracefully towards Ethan.

"Mr. Adrien, we meet again. When will you come to our house this summer?"

Looking at the expression on Ethan's face, she added: "We agreed last time."

"Did we?"

Ethan felt that this large Cassandra was a bit difficult to handle!

"Next time, definitely. Isn't that what you said?"

Mrs. Vole looked at Ethan with a smile, glanced at the few witches present, and gave Cassandra a look that said, 'Mom will help you'.

Another one!

"Yes! Next time, definitely!"

"Hmm?"

"This time, definitely. I'll contact Cassandra."

There was no way around it. There was a price to pay for raising a loli. He had to admit defeat now. He couldn't offend his future mother-in-law!

"That's settled then!"

Watching Mrs. Vole leave, Ethan also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he had to take some time to go there this summer.

Next, Ethan faced Qiu Zhang's father, who was as wary of Ethan as if he were a wolf, and Mr. and Mrs. Granger, who invited Ethan to their house as a guest.

"Penelope, where's your family?"

She was the only one left by his side.

"I'm going to buy a train ticket back to Plymouth later. I've been going home alone since third grade."

Penelope's parents were both ordinary workers, and taking time off to pick her up would require asking for leave. As a wizard, even if she was still a student, Penelope was not comparable to ordinary people.

Therefore, they weren't afraid of Penelope encountering any danger. She had been traveling alone since she was fourteen.

"How about going to my house to rest for a night, and I'll book a plane ticket for you for tomorrow? What do you think?"

It was already past six o'clock in the summer evening. By the time Penelope queued to buy a ticket, even if she got one, the waiting time plus the travel time would mean she wouldn't arrive in Plymouth until tomorrow morning.

If she was unlucky, she would have to spend the night at the train station. She didn't know how long she waited here last Christmas holiday.

"Okay!"

"But I need to make a call home first, so they don't worry."

【Thank you,大佬 fuhon, for the monthly ticket, thank you,大佬!】.

Chapter 82: Premium Acquisition

Morning!

Ethan had just come down from the second floor when he saw Penelope stretching in the courtyard.

Her perfect figure curve, facing the morning light, looked good, and was pleasing to the eye. Ethan couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Ethan, you're up!"

Penelope turned around and greeted Ethan. When she came yesterday, she was a little worried about how to answer after seeing Ethan's parents.

After all, she was four years older than Ethan, and she didn't know if they would mind.

As a result, she didn't see Ethan's parents at all. It was really a waste of worry.

"Yeah, morning!"

Penelope in Muggle clothes looked a bit good!

Her long brown hair hung straight down to her waist, and her delicate face was beautiful and moving under the light of dawn. The white printed T-shirt was even more bulging, and the denim shorts below made her long legs reflect white under the reflection of the dawn light.

These were the clothes she wore in the Muggle world. She couldn't possibly wear a wizard robe home on the train later, that would be too eye-catching.

In the past, she would change in the carriage when she was about to get off the train, and there was no problem when there were several girlfriends there.

But yesterday she went to Ethan's carriage, so she could only come out wearing a wizard robe, and only changed back into Muggle clothes this morning.

"How is it? Does this outfit look good, senior?"

Penelope glanced at a certain part of Ethan, and then her face turned red all of a sudden.

"Very good, it would be even better if you added black silk stockings."

Ethan gave a thumbs up directly as he spoke.

As for Ethan himself, there was nothing to say.

What's wrong with a twelve-year-old boy having a little strong temper when he gets up in the morning?

Penelope rolled her eyes.

"You!"

"I just gave a suggestion."

Ethan spread his hands, looking quite innocent.

"I see that it's your fetish. Now everyone at Hogwarts knows that you, Ethan, entered Ravenclaw as a Hatstall just to target us seniors."

Ethan immediately retorted: "Slander, absolutely slander!"

This can never be admitted. Who the hell said that?

Don't let me find out!

Penelope glared at Ethan unhappily: "Whether it's slander or not, you know it yourself!"

Just the fact that you took four girls in one carriage yesterday. Look at the Hogwarts Express, are there any others like that?

There are many men and women staying in one carriage, but Ethan is definitely one of a kind.

"It's time for breakfast!"

As he spoke, Ethan turned and walked towards the dining table. This issue couldn't be discussed in detail.

"Hehe!"

Penelope sneered and followed behind Ethan, but didn't say anything more.
