Valentine's Day.
The holiday never seemed to have much to do with John.
Oh, no, one year he also received something that was either a love letter or a prank.
This year's Valentine's Day is still John's day alone.
He asked the security guards to leave, and he was left alone in the huge Silver Hand Manor.
It's not as cold as Christmas.
John also had no intention of going home.
He was dealing with files from the International Institute of Magical Science and Technology, as well as some questions from the Ministry of Potions about the werewolf vaccine.
There will be the first school-level league this year, and preparations need to be made half a year in advance.
The goblins instead minted coins, and the First Magical Savings Bank established by John was responsible for issuance and storage.
None of these things could get him out.
Basil stayed beside Riddle and tilted his head, watching his master struggle with the endless files.
Tom lay curled up at John's feet.
Helmer runs through the empty manor and Hector can't find it.
The atmosphere was quiet except for the sound of quills scratching parchment.
From time to time John needed to stop and look at the ingredients.
"Countries have also suffered some losses. The Bulgarian Ministry of Magic wants to buy more Silverhand products? That's right."
Some matters concerning cooperation with the Ministry of Magic in the Second Dynasty also required John's nod.
There are more and more documents he has annotated on the right.
...
The top wizarding league has not yet started, and Malfoy appears in Hogsmeade.
"Ato, here." Malfoy waved his hand.
Astoria came running over.
Today is also the day when Hogwarts goes to Hogsmeade village, where the two people have agreed to meet.
"The opponents are very strong this year," Astoria and Malfoy were sitting on a bench in Hogsmeade, drinking hot drinks and talking about Hogwarts Quidditch.
The team led by Ginny put great pressure on the Slytherin team, especially the team that lost its excellent seeker, and they needed to work harder in scoring.
The Ravenclaw Seeker took advantage and had a huge advantage when the Seeker was in trouble.
Slytherin narrowly defeated Ravenclaw.
Their score was not big, and they couldn't gain an advantage at all. The opponent still caught the Golden Snitch.
This made Malfoy itchy, and he even bullied Atto while he was away.
Now the shame has fallen on Astoria's head, which puts a lot of pressure on her.
This made Malfoy very distressed.
When the young couple went on a date, someone recognized Malfoy and came to him for an autograph.
As a rookie at Puddlemere United, his performance has been recognized by the strongest seeker in the UK.
Everyone can see that he has a bright future.
Astoria smiled, and when the other little girls came over, she took Malfoy's hand and declared her sovereignty.
Of course, she also has to pay attention when a man comes over.
After all, Malfoy has learned from the past, no good person calls Potter dozens of times a day.
The palace stares in warning.
...
Cedric finally understands what it means to be an Oriental parent.
Qiu Zhang's relatives actually came to England.
The elders first came up and asked the young man what he did for a living, whether he drank, whether he smoked, and whether he used a broomstick or a floo network to travel.
What?
Take it away?
This is not possible. My children are about the same age as you and have already bought cars.
One of Cho Chang's aunts was a little unhappy to hear that Cedric didn't have a job yet and was just traveling around the world.
Qiu Zhang's uncle also said that young people should focus on starting a family and establishing a career.
You can't have a family but not have a stable job to support your wife, right?
For example, Qiu Zhang's cousin has a stable job at the Ministry of Magic.
"Actually, I am a family business." Cedric looked embarrassed.
He explained that his home was in the Ancient Alliance.
It was the turn of the uncle who had just given an example of his son to become embarrassed.
My aunt's eyes sparkled and she asked what kind of work the family did.
After learning that Cedric's father was a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic, his family was from the Ancient Alliance and had a lot of galleons every year.
Not only the aunt, but also other people's eyes changed.
Especially when there are cousins at home who are about the same age as Cedric.
This is simply a golden turtle son-in-law.
Just now, I said that the young man is not good, but then he turns into a young and promising young man.
What?
Traveling around the world without doing your job?
That's wrong. It's obviously very romantic.
...
Unlike Cedric, Percy spent Valentine's Day directly at the Ministry of Magic.
Penello felt a little resentful about this.
"Did you receive the flowers I gave you?" Percy said.
Penello remembered the flowers she saw in the office, and she could only smile helplessly.
Isn't this the kind of man I like?
It's just that a strong woman meets a stronger person, which makes Penelo feel suppressed.
"Aren't you going home?" Penello smelled the flowers happily.
Percy got a headache when he thought about the situation at home, and said, "Don't go back now, Fred and George will go back."
Of the Weasley children, only Fred was married.
The three brothers above him were still silent, which made Mrs. Weasley start to worry.
Fortunately for Percy, at least he had already booked a wife.
Charlie and Bill were miserable.
One of the two people was originally a dragon tamer, but now that the dragons are gone, they naturally can't tame them, so they had to find a job as a salesperson for a Quidditch boutique in Diagon Alley.
Bill was also in trouble. John restructured Gringotts and directly eliminated the Curse Breaker profession.
After losing his job, Bill had to find another one.
So far he has not been found.
There is also Ron at home who is going to Auror training class.
Just thinking about Percy gave me a headache.
"The Cursebreaker has a wealth of knowledge about curses," Penello advised, "and it should not be allowed to go unused."
"I think so too, but there is no suitable position for a curse-breaker yet." Percy replied seriously.
In this way, the nature of this date gradually changed.
Later, the two people were actually discussing whether the Ministry of Magic should set up a position of Curse Breaker.
They had all forgotten that this was supposed to be a very romantic date.
...
The sky darkened and John finally finished his business.
He looked at the time, it was six o'clock in the afternoon.
Dusk stubbornly left a trace in the sky, but it was quickly dragged down.
The basil was sleeping on the shelf, and Riddle stared at it, probably worried that it would fall.
Tom has run away.
A dog can be seen being ridden by Helmer in the manor, chasing the hapless Hector.
As Hector ran, he shouted that Helmer had no morals.
John stretched, startling Basil awake.
"The day is almost over."
Getting up and walking outside, John admired the flowers.
He took out his badge and looked at it. Everyone was busy doing something.
After a short walk in the garden, John returned to the manor.
He saw Helmer and Hector holding a piece of wrapped chocolate in their hands, each fighting for it.
"Where did it come from?" John was stunned and stepped forward to take down the chocolate.
He looked at the two protoss, "Whose?"
The stars pointed at a paper crane at the same time, and John looked over.
He was slightly startled, this paper crane seemed familiar.
He stretched out his hand, and the paper crane flew into his palm.
John opened it and saw a line of writing inside.
"Eat some chocolate and rest for a while."
The familiar font made John smile knowingly.
He opened the chocolate, broke off a piece of white chocolate and put it in his mouth.
"Well, I think it tastes good."
Outside Silverhand Manor, Daphne blushed slightly.
