Chapter 230 - 230: 230: The Dragon Farm
"You must be Professor Kasen, right? My brothers often talk about you at home," said a red-haired wizard—clearly a Weasley—walking over."Very glad to meet you, Bill, they're always telling me about you too!" Kasen took two quick steps forward and gave the man a hug.
"Thanks, but I'm Charlie," Charlie replied, hugging Kasen back.
"Oh… ah… sorry about that, I really don't give a fuck to be honest," Kasen said, looking a bit... embarrassed...?
"Umm.. I really don't know what to say now.."
"Hahaha! I was just joking! You resemble the Twins a lot. I thought I would start with a joke."
"Ahahaha, and I can see why they respect you so much, professor."hat a Muggle might expect.
To a wizard, though, he still had that strange, instructive, almost majestic presence, like the beauty of a well-kept park.
Soon after, Neos left to go find more dragons, leaving the group staring at each other in awkward silence—until Charlie broke it. "Shall we go sign the contracts?"
"Let's go, let's go," they replied, heading toward one of the few buildings in the dragon reserve. Before long, Charlie had picked out over forty sturdy-looking wizards and brought them over.
Kasen took a contract out of his pocket. "This isn't just a magical contract—it also includes a confidentiality clause you'll need to follow."
Charlie glanced back at his colleagues, then blinked in mild surprise—because Lupin, who was supposed to be standing on Kasen's side, had somehow ended up in their group instead… and was already casually chatting with the wizard next to him, looking like he might whip out a deck of Exploding Snap cards and start a game on the spot.
Poor Lupin had no idea that this magical contract was meant to bind the dragon reserve's staff. For him, what really mattered was not signing it.
After all, he was part of Hogwarts, and had even served as a professor for a year—teaching young wizards should come twice as easily for him, and he couldn't afford to be tied down by a magical contract.
Meanwhile, behind Kasen, Sirius and Harry kept sending Lupin messages in their party chat, and finally, just as it was almost Lupin's turn to sign, they managed to get through to him.
