Chapter 416 Hello, I am the new professor

After Vader stepped off the stage, two outstanding-looking wizards and witches came up and began to demonstrate how to use the communication pea and its various functions.

There are still many things to do next in this launch event, but those have nothing to do with Vader.

Originally, for the sake of sales, there would be a cocktail party later. As a high-profile alchemist, Wade could also get to know some people on this occasion.

But when Marchionne asked for his opinion, Professor Murray directly refused for him.

"It's enough to show up to this level. Those greedy businessmen are the ones who get closer and further!"

Professor Murray said what he said in front of Marchionne. Marchionne had no consciousness that he was also a "greedy businessman" and nodded while stroking his chin.

"Yeah... What if they find out that Vader is so easy to talk to and trick you into signing a few contracts that you can't break?"

He said in a joking tone: "If Wade is abducted by an evil-minded adult, I won't have anywhere to cry!"

Wade was originally impatient to deal with this kind of situation, so he nodded immediately after hearing this, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, his speech was over, and he could freely go shopping with his friends in the remaining time. When Wade stepped down from the stage, his steps could not help but become brisk. He opened the curtain and entered the backstage, but was suddenly startled.

Professor Murray looked at him with a particularly gratified look, his eyes slightly moist.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so proud of you! It's really great! I can't believe it! Watching you grow from a little to such an outstanding person today...your hard work and achievements are so amazing I feel extremely joyful and happy, and I feel that all the hard work and dedication are worth it..."

Marchionne stood next to Professor Murray and said in an exaggerated tone. While speaking, he wiped the corners of his eyes with a small handkerchief, and then winked at Professor Murray:

"——Is that what you want to say, Professor? It doesn't matter, don't be shy! Tell Vader frankly how moved you are... I've already given you a sample, come on, let's get started!"

Professor Murray's lips trembled and he shouted: "Get out!"

"As you command, sir!"

Marchionne made a nondescript salute, patted Vader on the shoulder when he passed him, and said seriously: "Today is really great, Vader!"

Wade smiled softly: "Thank you."

Marchionne continued to host his launch party, leaving only Vader and Professor Murray in the background.

Looking at his most outstanding student, Professor Murray relaxed his brows, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and joy inadvertently showed from the corners of his brows and eyes.

Originally, he really had something to say, but it was stuck in his throat and he didn't know what to say first. When Marchionne interrupted him, his mood became much calmer.

"Although Marchionne is a bastard, he is right about one thing -" Professor Murray paused and said, "I'm so proud of you, kid."

"Thank you for your affirmation, Professor." Wade lowered his head slightly and said sincerely: "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Professor Murray looked at the boy who was almost as tall as his chin, and wanted to touch his head with emotion, but he hesitated after raising his hand, and finally fell on his shoulder.

"You have achieved enough to surpass me, but there is a broader landscape ahead. You must maintain this enthusiasm, continue to work hard, and don't be stopped by temptations halfway."

"Yes." Wade responded.

"Speaking of which, why did you change the second half of your speech?" Professor Murray asked: "I remember that you originally prepared it to be more understandable."

"Well... there were a lot of people, so I forgot my words for a moment." Wade said sheepishly, "I was worried about being left out, so I just talked about the design idea."

Professor Murray smiled and said: "There are many colleagues sitting in the audience! I was ready to go up and interrupt you. Fortunately, the core part was not leaked."

It was the first time for a young man to perform in a big scene. Professor Murray was already very satisfied. As for this small mistake, he didn't take it to heart.

What's more, although what Wade said was a bit unfriendly to the audience, it proved that he had real material. Based on the final reaction of the audience, Professor Murray still felt that this was a successful speech.

"Okay, your friends are still waiting for you, right?" Professor Murray said lovingly: "Go quickly! Otherwise, you won't be entangled by annoying guys later."

…

When Wade walked out of the back door of the venue, he still felt a little guilty.

Because when they were parting, Professor Murray cast a spell to unlock the door. When Wade saw his wand, he suddenly remembered that Professor Murray's original wand was still in his hand.

Speaking of which, when I came back from the island last time, it was actually a good time to return the wand. But the scene where Mabel suddenly turned into Obscurus was so impactful that Wade was so busy that he forgot about it.

But when he thought of the people at the table who were also sitting in the venue, Wade felt certain.

Sooner or later we will run into them... Let's find a reasonable time then...

…

In the past few years, the business of Aslan's Magic Workshop has grown bigger and bigger, bringing changes to many places, but Gringotts has remained unchanged.

After Vader reunited with Lupine and others, they came to the only bank in the magic world. They were all going to get some pocket money, and Harry wanted to change some pounds.

Lupine also rented a vault in Gringotts. Since Vader offered him a high commission, he already had a pile of gold Galleons and Silver Sickles in his vault.

While Wade and the others were waiting outside, they saw that he had put almost all the money into the bag, leaving only a few inconspicuous copper coins in the corner of the vault.

"Remus, what are you doing with so much money?"

Harry asked curiously.

"There is something I want to buy." Lu Ping said with a slightly uneasy expression.

"Is the money enough?" Wade said, "If not, I can lend it to you first."

Lupine smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just enough."

When the running car took them back to the ground, everyone saw a frowning man being led out of the hall by the goblin and into the stone corridor.

The man climbed into the car that Wade and the others had just taken, and the young elf also jumped on, stood on the driver's seat, and said, "Is this vault No. 716? Please sit down, sir, we are leaving now!"

Vader subconsciously glanced back and saw the car clanging off. It was getting faster and faster. It rushed forward and disappeared along the winding track.

"What's wrong?" Michael asked, "Do you know that person just now?"

"I don't know." Wade shook his head and said, "It's just that I remember that the rent for the vaults starting with '7' is very expensive. The person just now didn't seem to be able to afford the rent, so I thought it was a bit strange."

From top to bottom, the numbered numbers in Gringotts' treasury become larger and larger, and the rent becomes more and more expensive. The ones with smaller numbers are closer to the ground, have lower rents, and are less safe.

Perhaps because Marchionne's nagging words were still having an impact, Wade subconsciously observed what others were wearing.

He found that the man just now was dressed simply, and the black wizard robe could only be said to be barely decent, but if you looked a little more carefully, you could see that his cuffs were frayed, and the edges of the pocket where he kept his wand were shiny.

"Maybe he is a descendant of an ancient family?" Michael guessed: "His ancestors may have rented it for hundreds of years at a time, so they can continue to use it even if they have no money."

"Yeah, that's right." Wade nodded, feeling that this was probably the case.

…

Standing on the busy street, Lu Ping looked at the time and said, "You go buy gifts first. I also want to... uh... want to buy something."

Lupine left in a hurry, and Harry frowned and said, "Remus is a little weird... Could he have been defrauded of money?"

He remembered that when he was at the Dursley's house, he would occasionally read news about people who had lost their entire fortune due to gambling or fraud.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Harry raised his heels and said, "Let's go and check the situation."

But as soon as he took two steps, Michael grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

"Excuse me, Lupine might be buying a Christmas gift for his girlfriend! He would definitely be embarrassed if we were there," Michael said.

"Girlfriend?!" Harry said in surprise.

"Yes, look at his hesitant expression and his uncontrollable smile, he must be thinking of a certain girl!" Michael said with certainty and pointed to the person next to him: "Look, Wade is also See it!"

Wade: "..."

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\!)

In fact, he didn't notice it, but when Michael mentioned his girlfriend, he naturally thought of "Tonks" mentioned by Lupine yesterday.

That was Lupine's wife in the future, the kind who lived and died together, and the two finally left behind a son.

Harry looked at Vader. As expected, he didn't look surprised at all. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed - why was he so slow?

…

Lupine came to Aslan's Magic Workshop store with a bag full of money. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the light red vest still placed in the glass cabinet.

He put the money bag on the counter and said, "I'll buy this vest."

"Sorry, this is a display item. It has not been officially sold yet..." The salesperson hadn't finished speaking yet. When he looked up and saw the appearance of this customer, he couldn't help but be startled: "Mr. Lupin?"

"Yes." Lupine pulled his scarf down and said gently: "I know this product has not been officially sold yet, but can you sell this to me?"

This was the first time he used his identity to ask for privileges. He couldn't help but feel his face burning, but he still pretended to be calm.

The salesperson hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the counter and said:

"If it were you, of course there would be no problem... But wouldn't it be easier to get it if you asked Mr. Gray? This vest was originally invented by Mr. Gray and the two Mr. Weasleys."

——And you don’t have to spend so much money.

"This is a gift that I plan to give to others. Naturally, I have to obtain it myself." Lu Ping explained.

At present, Aslan's Magic Workshop's entire sales focus is on communication peas, and only a few samples of the anti-spell vest have been produced.

Marchionne foresees that this will also become a big hit. In order to prevent the two products from squeezing each other's profit margins and to prepare sufficient goods, the name of the anti-curse vest has not yet been exposed and is only available in stores. I put one on display and put a high price on it.

If anyone asks, the salesperson will mysteriously say that it is not for sale and will not sell it even if the price is paid.

But Remus Lupine is naturally different. To a certain extent, he represents Vader. He even helped sign the contract between the Weasley brothers and the magic workshop.

Therefore, although the salesperson was very surprised when Lu Ping insisted, she still took the vest out of the container and wrapped it in a gift box.

Lupine emptied his pockets to pay the bill, and used his last few Sickles to go to the post office to hire two owls. He watched them fly into the sky with unsigned gift boxes, and felt only a faint joy in his heart.

She doesn't need to know who the gift comes from... The job of an Auror is very dangerous, she just hopes that this vest can keep her safe...

Lu Ping thought with joy and sadness in his heart.

…

Vader and the others spent more than an hour shopping in Diagon Alley, buying everything they wanted to buy. During this period, Vader and Harry kept covering most of their faces with scarves in order to avoid being recognized.

The weather was cold, so it was not surprising at all that they were dressed like this. Among the students who were taking advantage of the holidays to buy Christmas gifts, they would not attract anyone's attention at all.

However, there is also a disadvantage in doing so, that is, the field of vision is inevitably limited. Harry had just selected the book he wanted to give to Hermione, paid for it, and when he turned to leave, he accidentally bumped into a passerby behind him.

The man was standing on tiptoes to pick up a book placed on a high shelf. He was hit by such a collision. He fell and fell on the bookshelf at the same time. There was a loud "clang" sound, and three or four bookshelves were like dominoes. They all fell down with a crash, until the last one hit the wall.

Hundreds of books fell to the floor and were piled in a mess. Fortunately, these were ordinary books, so it did not cause greater tragedy.

The clerk in the bookstore was checking out another customer. He was stunned when he saw this. He held a few coins in his hand and remained motionless. He completely forgot to react, as if he had turned into a stone sculpture.

Michael subconsciously took a step back and murmured: "I... let's run..."

Harry looked at him with his mouth open, and then at the miserable situation in the bookstore. After being at a loss for a while, he heard the man lying on the bookshelf yelling "Ouch, ouch, ouch".

Harry was startled and quickly took two steps forward to help the person up. Then he looked at the books on the floor and froze again.

"Don't be afraid, kid."

The person who was hit held his waist and took all the responsibility on himself in a good-natured manner.

"It's my fault - I didn't stand firm. But the solution to this situation is very simple, you see -"

He pulled out his magic wand and waved it, and several bookshelves stood up on their own, with books all over the floor flying and inserted back into the shelves, as if time had gone back.

The man left Sico behind and trotted over a few steps away. The bookshelf had returned to its original state. He opened his mouth sluggishly, looking stupid.

"We're so lucky. It seems that no books were damaged." A passerby said slowly, "That way we don't have to be held responsible, okay?"

"Ah... of course, of course..." the guy said awkwardly.

"That's awesome!" Harry said with admiration and sincerely, "Thank you, sir, I thought I was in big trouble."

"You don't have to be so polite. Are you a student at Hogwarts?" the passerby asked after looking at the size of the people.

"Yes." Harry nodded.

The passerby smiled: "Then I will become your professor soon. I hope we will get along well in the next six months... By the way, my name is Ryan Trocca."

"New professor?"

Several people looked at each other and said doubtfully: "But we don't have any courses that lack professors?"

"Huh?" Ryan Trocca scratched his head and said, "How did I hear that the last Defense Against the Dark Arts professor resigned?"
