Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 345 Old Deng's prestige declines

On the night of August 2nd, Harry encountered the Dementors. After that, old Dumbledore seemed to be even busier and was nowhere to be seen all day.

Not only old Dumbledore, but even Professor McGonagall frequently went out of school.

Sainz's daily routine was not greatly affected. He was either at his base or at the fence every day.

Professor Sprout is in the same situation as him.

Professor Sprout is better than him.

After all, unlike animals, plants do not need to be fed every day.

Fortunately, there are many house-elves in Hogwarts, and they are happy to help, so there is not much work in the fence that Sainz really needs to do personally.

On this day, Speed ​​brought Sainz a reply from Mundungus, and the two agreed to meet at the Three Broomsticks Bar.

This was also a casual move on his part, just to make himself familiar with the person. If this person could get the pendant box, he might come to him on his own initiative.

Of course, although this person is unreliable, he would not steal other people's things while the big black dog is alive. It is hard to say whether he can get the pendant box this time as usual.

In fact, the current way to get the pendant is to go directly to the Big Black Dog. If Sainz shows interest in some ancient items, maybe he can get it directly from him.

From the original trajectory, we can see that the big black dog did not pay much attention to his family's ancestral home. He wandered outside for more than a year and even rummaged through garbage in the garbage dump without returning to live in the ancestral home.

It was not until Fu was resurrected that Old Deng reconvened the members of the Order of the Phoenix and donated his ancestral home to the Order of the Phoenix as its headquarters.

Sainz revealed the identity of the mouse in advance and was handed over to the Ministry of Magic by old Dumbledore, who restored the freedom of the big black dog. It is not known whether he has returned to the ancestral home in the past year and whether the things inside have been thrown away.

"Oh, that was a mistake," Sai thought to himself, having neglected the big black dog too much, "but it's already like this...

It seems that we really need to make preparations for both scenarios and be prepared for the possibility that the Horcruxes may not be completely eliminated."

"Mr. Autumn, I don't know what you want to talk to me about." Mundungus Fletcher took out his pipe from his pocket, glanced at Sainz's disgusted expression, and put it back.

"Mr. Fletch," Sainz said calmly, "I heard that you often get some interesting gadgets. It happens that I am also a little interested in these things. If you have something you are willing to sell, you can consider transferring it to me."

"When I saw you that day, I felt that you were a man who could do great things." Fletch was very excited when he heard about the business. "I have a list here. You can take a look. It would be an honor for them if you can choose them."

Sainz took it and looked at it. There was nothing good in it. "Well... I already have a lot of these common things. What I want is some special stuff, or some interesting things, or some historical relics or something..."

"You are indeed ambitious," Fletch took back the list, "It's normal that you don't like these things. I have noted your request. If there is something good that meets your requirements, I will inform you as soon as possible, but..."

"Don't worry, if there is really something good, I will give you an ideal price!" Sainz stood up and said.

Fletch was very tactful and stood up to say goodbye. "It's been a pleasure chatting with you. I have something else to do so I won't bother you any more."

After the other party left, Sainz ordered a cup of black tea. "Professor Autumn," said the bar owner, Ms. Rosmerta, "You are the only one who orders tea in the bar, and without milk."

"Dear Madam!" Sainz said jokingly, "That means your bar business is not extensive enough. How can a bar not have tea?"

Ms. Rosmerta laughed and said, “Why would I have tea as a bar?”

"Because you'll have a picky customer like me!"

"Haha, please enjoy your tea slowly!"

"Thank you!"

Ms. Rosmerta looked around and sat down across the table. "Not many people are here right now. I have a question I want to ask you. Is that okay?"

"Tell me about it, but I can't guarantee that I can answer it."

Sainz already had some guesses about what he could ask at this time. After the other party opened his mouth, he thought to himself, "Sure enough."

"Professor Autumn," Ms. Rosmerta said, choosing her tone, "there are rumors that... that person you know... that person has returned. What do you think?"

"Ma'am, I don't know why you suddenly thought of asking me this question. Didn't the newspapers always say that it was a rumor?"

"You're all like that!" Madame Rosmerta said, a little annoyed. "You never speak your mind. I thought you would be more sincere."

Sainz thought to himself, "So you thought I would be easier to get because I'm young. Besides, who do you think you are? Why do you think Sainz would be sincere to you? You really don't know what you are talking about."

Sai was dissatisfied in his heart, but smiled on the surface, "Didn't Dumbledore and Harry Potter say that the other party is back?"

"But the Ministry says it was a conspiracy," said Madam Rosmerta. "Everyone thinks Harry Potter is a clown who wants attention."

"Oh~ so," Sainz said lightly, "that's difficult, it requires you to decide who to trust, I have always done so."

Perhaps she heard the meaning of sending the guests away in his words, and Ms. Rosmerta was slightly stunned. "Sorry, the bar over there needs someone, I can't continue chatting with you."

"Of course, of course, business is important, please do as you please, ma'am."

After coming out of the bar, Sainz kept wondering all the way, does the bar owner ask anyone he catches, or does he come specifically to ask Sainz?

Could it be that he heard some rumors?

He didn't notice the last time Skeeter moved his position, so in order to prevent any omissions, he also subscribed to Witch Weekly.

He follows both newspapers.

"Witch Weekly" still focuses on academic content, while "Daily Prophet" is mostly intended to make people think that Harry Potter is a person who expects others to admire him, and does not involve a certain person named Sai.

Every time Harry Potter was mentioned in the newspapers, it was implied that he was a man who was trying to attract attention in every possible way and thought he was a tragic hero.

Many comments are guiding people's ideas, and sometimes they will pretend to make a casual comment about Harry Potter. For example, when commenting on an unfounded report, they will pretend to suddenly realize, "Only Harry Potter could make that up!"

If someone gets into a funny accident, someone will comment, "I hope he's strong enough not to get a scar on his forehead, or he'll ask us to worship him next..."

At present, it seems that the Ministry of Magic's guidance of public opinion has achieved remarkable results. Even the owner of the bar next to the school doesn't know whether to believe what he says, and he doesn't even believe what Dumbledore says.
