263. Help from the twins
"Drained by Daphne?"
"No, she was ravaged by Daphne."
"What difference does it make?"
"Extracting someone dry is active, while robbing someone is passive."
"But I think she took the initiative. After all, she married Shafiq──"
"Not necessarily, there is also the form of marrying into a wife─"
"...That's enough of you." Elaine couldn't bear it anymore and raised her middle finger to the living treasures in front of her. "I just lack sleep and am like this because there are so many things to deal with! Don't give me random inferences!"
"Then you can go catch up on some sleep now?"
"That's right, we don't mind, it's still in the preparation period anyway─"
"They will all be at Hogwarts from now on──"
"The same goes for finding time to sign the contract after returning to school─"
The Weasley twins said with playful smiles, because Elaine's face looked too haggard.
It was obvious that she hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, but it wasn't all Daphne's fault.
Slughorn, Sirius, Dumbledore, Snape and Adair all got involved.
First of all, the remaining Inferi in the Inferi Cave need to be freed, and the potion must continue to be analyzed.
So Sirius and Slughorn took Elaine for another trip.
Unfreeze the ice, clean the inferi, drink the potion, and decorate the cave with Kreacher, making sure to give Voldemort a big surprise.
Next, Dumbledore told Elaine that the Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts, Caredi Bubbaji, resigned and went to the United States to further his studies.
He said that he thought he was incompetent and wanted to know more about Muggles... Although Elaine seriously suspected that this was Dumbledore's avoidance method after knowing the content of the seventh episode of the novel.
Elaine had no problem with asking Professor Bubaji to leave the UK early to see if he could avoid death.
But in order to save money and trouble, asking her or Adair to temporarily serve as Muggle Studies professor is completely nonsense!
Did you say it only five days before school started? !
Even if the professor who takes over is not to your liking, you can’t just rush the ducks to the shelf like this!
However, Elaine really had to take this job...
Thanks to the live broadcast room, as long as Elaine asked, many sociologists would help her analyze the reasons.
Voldemort was able to cause great disturbances in the past. In addition to power, philosophy was also an important factor.
He advocated the theory of pure blood and wizard supremacy, catering to the psychology of some—or should I say, most wizards.
Let many wizards condone his evil deeds, and then rely on ruthless means to eliminate the rebels and rise to power.
Wizards are more or less discriminatory against Muggles. The stereotype of Muggles has given rise to prejudice, and prejudice has led to discrimination.
If Muggle studies courses are taught well and wizards' impressions of Muggles are corrected, most prejudice and discrimination can be eliminated to a certain extent.
Seventy percent of wizards in the UK are from Hogwarts, and the remaining thirty percent are home-educated or outsiders. The influence of professors is extraordinary.
Currently, the premise is to teach well.
Elaine doesn't have to worry about the teaching content. The live broadcast room is very enthusiastic to help her prepare lessons, but she still has to spend time watching before she can give lectures on stage.
It might be better if Adair's main body was willing to help her share the burden, or if the ghost could temporarily leave the body and take her place in class.
But Elaine only dares to think about this kind of thing in her dreams...
As well as the routine affairs of the Shafiq family and the magical world.
Researching information, disseminating intelligence, wooing various wizard families, looking for reliable wizard manpower, holding Fudge back, and all kinds of messy things.
Compared with these, Daphne's problems are nothing at all.
Moreover, the girl's body was warm and soft. Elaine slept better while holding Daphne in her arms.
It's just that the psychological pressure is a bit high...feelings of guilt and the like...
"That's it. I'm so tired because I'm busy. It has nothing to do with her, o, k?"
Elaine explained angrily again, but the twins still had ambiguous and evil smiles on their faces.
"I think they are all excuses──"
"Come to us to discuss our products whenever you have time──"
"How could there be no time to rest─"
"What you are taking is from the Shafiq family. As the head of the family, of course I have to conduct an audit to check whether my galleons are being spent excessively." After the matter was over, Elaine sneered and threatened, "Otherwise, I will take it now. The money and samples will be taken back, and the cooperation will be cancelled?"
"Well, you are such a responsible head of the house. Thank you for your hard work. Do you want a massage?"
"It's not okay to be so tired. Your body is your capital. How about I make a cup of hot tea?"
As soon as they used their ultimate move, the twins immediately changed their direction and used various tricks to please and flatter them.
It made Elaine dumbfounded. She could roughly understand what Mrs. Weasley felt.
The first day of school is approaching, and the Weasley family has returned to London from their trip to Egypt and is preparing to send several children to school.
As usual, they stayed at Shafiq's house temporarily, and then went to King's Cross Station the next day.
And Elaine arranged a special room for the twin brothers.
It looks like an ordinary guest room, but there is a secret door inside, leading to a secret laboratory, which allows the twins to study secretly without Mrs. Weasley's random inspection.
You won’t need it this year, but you may have the opportunity to use it next year or the year after.
And she came here to explain to the twins the secret door, the laboratory, and the use of various Muggle products inside.
There are also future product development styles, store opening matters, recruitment of manpower, etc.
This is the first investment case she has made on her own after becoming the head of the family, so Elaine takes this case very seriously.
If possible, Elaine hopes that a year later, in fourth grade, the twin brothers will be able to produce mature samples.
Just enough to catch the Triwizard Tournament and sell it to Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.
However, the twin brothers were obviously more interested in Elaine's gossip.
Of course, they also wanted to cooperate with Elaine, but - after all, Elaine was too strong, and they failed several times when they tried to play pranks.
It was rare for them to have something to tease her about, so how could they let it go.
Don’t forget to play while working, and don’t forget to work while having fun.
"However, I still want to say that you really don't understand women's hearts." Fred shook his head while drinking tea. "We have specially prepared a room for us, why not for Daphne? If we tell it─"
"I heard that Hermione also has a private room, special treatment." George smiled evilly and said pointedly, "Oh, honestly admit it, did you get engaged to the Greengrass family because of the restrictions of the pure-blood family? Is your true love actually Hermione?"
"If you have been to other people's rooms, you will know that your room only has a darkroom. Everything else is the same, just a guest room!" Elaine gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't customize a room for Daphne because I didn't know. Her habits! Unlike Hermione, neither the house elf nor I know what kind of room she likes! Stop spreading rumors and causing trouble for me─"
"I don't know, you can ask?" Fred clicked his tongue. "I bet you, Xi Ke, you haven't asked her this question at all - so you still don't understand women's hearts."
"You don't have to worry about me!"
"You are obviously a girl, but you don't know how to pick up girls. Do you want us to help you?" George took out two small bottles from his arms and shook them maliciously. "Although this is a trial work, it is very effective. Fred used this to get an appointment with Angelina last time─"
"Hey, that's a secret!" Fred quickly stretched out his hand to grab it, "You can't tell anyone! If Angelina finds out, I will——"
"What does it matter? Elaine is not an outsider, she is the boss." George waved his hand and threw the bottle to Elaine, "Think about it? Even if you don't want to use it on Daphne, you can use it on Hermione, right? This is for you──"
"Once again, you don't need to worry about my relationship issues!"
Elaine snorted coldly.
But after much hesitation, she ignored Fred's frantic pleas and put the small bottle into her pocket.
But little did she know that after she left the room, the twin brothers high-fived each other and smiled as if they had succeeded in their prank.
