Chapter 489 The cost of eating at Hogwarts
Umbridge was originally angry and planned to teach these ignorant little wizards a lesson.
But now this idea has long been thrown away by her.
When I turned around again, I saw that Dumbledore and Robert Potter were standing far away, but they were coming over, with their hands folded in front of them, as if they were watching a good show.
Umbridge glared at the two guys with hatred,
When I turned around and came back again,
Instead, a look of flattery appeared on his face.
Regardless of whether Raven could see her expression at the moment, she had to keep her expression in place so that her tone of voice would be more genuine.
This is just like how some people nod and bow when talking on the phone.
Fortunately, Raven is still here with her head buried.
Otherwise, seeing Umbridge’s current face and this expression,
I'm afraid I won't be able to eat at the welcome dinner later.
Just because Umbridge's face is really mutated at this time,
She was injured by her "patron saint" toad before, and herpes appeared like grapes on her face.
Although Fudge would not offend Raven for Umbridge,
But he wouldn't mind taking Umbridge to St. Mungo's to find a doctor from the Curse Department to help with treatment.
Looking at it now, the herpes on Umbridge’s face has indeed been cured, at least the pus will no longer leak out.
Malice and curses are indeed cleared away,
But "gift"?
But I can't clean it up.
I don’t know if it’s because of the influence of the toad’s “patron saint”.
Umbridge's face now felt as leathery as pink and purple rhinoceros skin, and it seemed that the original skin had become swollen and swollen.
On such skin, small toad-like tumors accumulate one after another, just like the bumps on the belly of a puffer fish.
It's not that disgusting anymore.
But what really made Raven laugh wildly was her nose and mouth.
I don’t know if it’s because the flesh on my face is swollen or for some other reason.
Umbridge's nose now only has two nostrils turned outwards.
And her mouth is even more funny. It opens directly to her cheeks, and her lips are swollen like sausages.
This reminded Raven of a certain comedy TV series that he had watched hundreds of years ago, but could no longer remember the name or plot.
such
Only he understands this joke,
Pappy and the others couldn't see Umbridge's face at this time, so naturally they couldn't figure out what Raven was laughing at.
After a while, Raven stopped laughing.
Looking up,
Seeing Umbridge standing there in a daze, he said to her with a bright smile,
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just thought of something interesting. According to what you just said, is Deputy Minister Umbridge coming to settle accounts with me?"
How could Umbridge dare to answer this? She just brushed it off.
"You are joking, I am here to send greetings to you on behalf of Mr. Cornelius Fudge."
Raven nodded, indicating that he understood.
Umbridge breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Raven had no intention of targeting her here today.
She was about to bow and leave,
Raven smiled, but her light words made Umbridge feel as if she had fallen into an icy abyss.
"Then you also send greetings for me [the domestic dog with its tail between its legs]."
!!!
Umbridge was extremely shocked,
[Domestic dog with tail between legs]
This was the word she had just used to scold Fudge in her mind.
So this is... [Legilimency]? How could he...! ?
[No, of course this distinguished gentleman can do this]
The desire to survive made Umbridge immediately interrupt her somewhat unfriendly words,
At the same time, subconsciously, she was thinking in her mind,
[I didn’t use any bad words just now, did I? 】
"That's not true, but the fact of cheating on food and drinks is debatable. Professor Dumbledore, the tuition we paid should be enough for food and drinks."
Raven said to Dumbledore with a smile,
As soon as these words came out, Umbridge couldn't help but tremble.
[As expected, it’s Legilimency. 】
Then her legs softened and she collapsed on the ground.
"It was my fault, Mr. Weasley."
Raven just glanced at her;
"Hey, you're right. It depends on what Principal Dumbledore says."
Dumbledore hesitated for a long time before saying,
"When did you pay your tuition...?"
Good question!
Raven was speechless. It seems that Hogwarts does not have tuition fees.
The list sent every year is only for students to prepare the teaching materials and consumables they need to use in the teaching process.
I never mentioned sending money to the school.
Then Raven was very strange. He ignored Umbridge who was lying on the ground.
If you continue to ask questions, it is more important to satisfy your curiosity.
"Then...where does the money for Hogwarts come from? Just eating and drinking for so many young wizards is a huge expense, right?"
Dumbledore smiled and said,
"Those are very cheap. We purchase the meat from Muggles. The pound is not valuable to wizards. It can only be exchanged for 100 gold galleons every year. It cannot be exchanged for more. The alumni will give the extra to Huo Gwartz buys groceries.”
Raven......
Okay, very down-to-earth, the food we eat together is all Muggle frozen meat, right? It turned out that what Ron was eating was white-feathered chicken legs?
Dumbledore continued,
"Vegetables are even simpler. We can do it with magic. As for artificial... you know."
Amazing magic? Expansion spell, right?
There are also free heirloom house elves,
Good guy, if you calculate it like this, you will definitely get free meals if you round them up.
However, occasionally there are some things that need to be purchased, such as Halloween candies, and Christmas and Halloween decorations.
There is a budget every year, as well as professors’ salaries and so on. So where does this money come from?
