Chapter 768: Weasley Joke Toy Shop (2 in 1)
Ivan pondered for a while, then glanced around in the classroom, especially for Malfoy and the Slytherin students.
The parents of these people have joined the Death Eaters, and they all have the possibility of attacking themselves...
However, apart from them, others should not be taken lightly. After all, the black wizard with high magic can control anyone with the Imperius Curse.
Thinking of this, Ivan glanced at Snape again. The other party must have more information, but for some reason he was reluctant to tell him directly.
Is it because of some reasons that can't be said, or is it pure and mysterious?
Ivan touched his chin, feeling a little difficult. Snape kindly reminded himself that he couldn't get Snape up for questioning, right?
The two potions classes ended soon, and when they walked out of the potions class door, all the little wizards were relieved.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were discussing the upcoming O.W.L. exam and future career choices, while Ivan was still thinking about who was going to murder him.
"Ivan, Ron, Hermione, do you think about what you will do after graduation?" Harry looked at several people and asked curiously.
His knowledge of the magical world is limited to the years of study, so he can't determine which courses will be more important.
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet." Ron said slowly, "but I think the Auror is pretty cool..."
It's a pity that the requirements are too high...
Ron added silently in his heart that the NEWT exam is inherently difficult, and to apply for Auror, you need at least five relevant subjects to get O (perfect) or E (exceeding expectations). Only a few people can do it every year. Do it.
"Auror? I think it's nice to be a professor at Hogwarts, just like Lupin and Moody's." Harry said, and because of Fudge's successive brain-dead actions, he was not very good with the Ministry of Magic's senses. .
On the side, Hermione vowed to do something more meaningful after graduation.
"Meaningful things? Like liberating the house elves?!" Ron couldn't help but spit out.
"This is just one of the things! Ron, besides that, I still have a lot of things I want to do, such as prohibiting wizards from calling ordinary people who don't know how to do magic as Muggles. This is a very bad name... "Hermione said firmly.
In Hermione's view, the entire British magical world is full of medieval decadence, and laws and regulations are full of inequality and loopholes.
It is precisely because of this that these Death Eaters like Lucius can get away with it, and Voldemort's conspiracy will succeed time and time again.
Ron scratched his head and couldn't understand what Hermione was trying to express. Is there anything wrong with calling someone who doesn't know magic as a Muggle?
They have always called it that way.
And Hermione's other ideas were completely whimsical. Whether it was giving house elves preferential treatment, prohibiting slander, or changing the law, they were nothing short of fantasy.
"Who said it's impossible? As long as the Minister of Magic is willing to formulate corresponding regulations, these things can be avoided to a great extent." Hermione said confidently.
"So you really want to be Minister of Magic?" Harry looked at Hermione with a weird look. Hermione said that once last year, thinking that Hermione was just joking.
Ron also shook his head. The probability of a Muggle-born witch becoming Minister of Magic is almost zero.
Hermione ignored Harry and Ron who were pouring cold water, and continued to talk about her plan.
Although she is still far from this goal, she can start working hard from this academic year, such as applying for all subjects of the O.W.L. exam, and striving to get the highest evaluation.
Excellent grades and resume are the capital for promotion to Minister of Magic in the future...
Harry and Ron were a little embarrassed to hear that Hermione was preparing to take twelve exams at the same time this year.
Is this the Xueba? Can't afford to provoke, can't provoke...
"Ivan, are you going to take all the exams as I did this school year?" Hermione turned her head and looked at Ivan, who hadn't said anything, and asked.
"Yeun...Huh?" Ivan nodded subconsciously while thinking about it, and then realized what Hermione was saying.
"At that time, we will be more optimistic about the comparison!" Hermione said happily.
Ivan touched his nose, when did he agree?
But Ivan didn't say any more to refuse. After all, these exams were nothing to him. If it weren't for worrying about damaging Hermione's self-confidence, he would have no problem taking the N.E.W.T. exam now.
Hermione then looked at Harry and Ron again, asking if they wanted to participate together.
Ron shook his head frantically. For a self-aware scumbag like him, it is a blessing to be able to pass the O.W.L. exam in six to seven courses this school year.
Harry also hurriedly changed the subject. "By the way, Ivan, you haven't said what you want to do in the future?"
"Me? After graduation, I bought a house big enough, built a magic research room, and studied magic every day..." Ivan hesitated for a while and said.
That's it? Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at Ivan with weird eyes.
As the recipient of the Merlin Medal of the First Class, Hogwarts's greatest genius in history, after graduation, he plans to study magic at home and become an otaku.
This...it's so weird.
Hearing the weird gazes of several people, Ivan curled his lips and didn't mean to explain.
To be an Auror or a professor with his strength is completely overkill.
As for dominating the magic world? It seems to be meaningless.
If it weren't for being forced into helplessness, Ivan had never been interested in forming a force, and fighting with Voldemort was just to protect himself and his family and friends.
The thing he was most interested in was studying magic, especially after he learned the essence of magic from Nicole LeMay, his thoughts became deeper.
Change material, immortal, bring back to life...
The power of magic is unimaginable, and it is really fascinating!
...
The course on the first day of school was over soon. After walking out of the gate of the divination class, several people returned to the Gryffindor lounge together.
When they walked into the entrance, they happened to see George and Fred standing surreptitiously on the bulletin board.
"George, Fred, what are you doing?" Ivan stepped forward in confusion, and then found that George and Fred were using magic tape to put an advertisement on the bulletin board.
Hermione also saw this scene at this time, stopped them angrily, and said. "The bulletin board in the lounge is used by the prefect to issue emergency notices, but not for you to post advertisements."
"Let's use it for now, if there is an urgent notice, we will definitely tear him off..." George said with a smile.
It's a pity that Hermione doesn't eat this set, and she firmly doesn't allow them to use the bulletin board as a place to promote "products."
"Also, you are not allowed to sell truant candy, cheating quill pens that can automatically answer questions, and ecstasy in the school. This is a serious violation of order!" Hermione stared at the two.
"Don't be so pretentious, Hermione, everyone will want to have a little fun while studying!" Fred emphasized in a faith-like tone.
"Yes, yes, for example, we have newly developed Wonder Witch (Edifice). I think many wizards need this to enhance their charm..." George also nodded, then rolled his eyes and took it out of his pocket. A bottle of Wonder Witch was stuffed secretly into Hermione's hand and whispered.
"Think about it, if you sneak a drop of this in Ivan's drink, then he will love you to death..."
Hermione blushed with anger, and threw the Wonder Witch back in her hand. She didn't need this kind of thing.
Ivan was speechless. George's bribery seemed secret, but his body had been strengthened many times. Naturally, this little action could not hide from him.
"What are you doing in such a hurry to promote new products?" Ivan asked.
"Of course it is to earn more Jin Jialong. Fred and I are planning to open our own magic shop after graduation this school year. Now there is still a lot of money." George spread out helplessly.
"Do you need my help? Three thousand gallons, is it enough?" Ivan said a number casually.
"Three...three thousand gallons?!" George and Fred were startled, and took a breath. They had never seen so much money!
From the third grade, they made a gambling game and earned initial research expenses. Since they started to make magic items by themselves, their money was no more than 100 gallons when they had the most money. The other money was used to buy materials or support new ones. Research on the props.
Even sometimes I can’t make ends meet...
Because of this, they are only preparing to distribute flyers and make money this year.
But even so, according to the two people's expectations, if you want to rent a cheap store in Diagon Alley and decorate it, you need at least Bakalong, and you have to sell it for several years before you can get it.
After all, they are now short of manpower and time is limited, and they cannot expand production at all.
"What? Three thousand gallons is not enough?" Ivan asked George and Fred in a daze for a long time, and asked again.
"No, no, it's too much!" George jumped up and said excitedly.
Three thousand gallons!
They originally only wanted to rent a remote location and have a venue, but with 3,000 gallons they can choose the most suitable location, and the decoration can be more complete, and more importantly, there is no need to worry about follow-up research Fund.
They felt excited just thinking about it, but it didn't take long for their enthusiasm to cool down.
George hesitated and said a little embarrassingly. "Ivan, you helped us a lot before, and we can no longer accept your help... and three thousand gallons are too much..."
Ivan stretched out his hand to stop George's subsequent words and explained. "Make no mistake, this is the kind of investment that needs to be repaid! How to say, I am very confident in the joke toy store you are going to open..."
George and Fred looked at each other, then nodded together. "Okay, yes, but profit..."
"I only accounted for three achievements. After all, the magic items you researched are the roots of the magic shop..." Ivan took the lead and said.
The Weasley joke toy store is George and Fred's dream and effort, and Ivan is not ready to seize it.
However, George and Fred felt that Ivan was too disadvantaged and firmly disagreed.
After some discussions, they unanimously decided to sell 40% of the Weasley joke shop to Ivan at a price of 1,500 gallons, and they would borrow the remaining 1,500 gallons.
Ivan couldn't hold back the two of them, so he simply agreed, and then the voice changed, reminding him. "Since you have the money, you have stopped posting flyers everywhere recently. The new Defence Against the Dark Arts class professor is not easy to deal with. If you are caught by her, it will be more than just confinement."
"That Umbridge from the Ministry of Magic? We are not afraid of her..." Fred said carelessly.
"And you are now the biggest shareholder of Weasley's joke toy store, can't you always help your girlfriend? You should be tough, Ivan, can't let her everything..." George ignored Hermione next to her. Angry eyes, spit out.
"No, it has nothing to do with Hermione, I'm just worried that you will cause trouble." Ivan sighed, looked at Fred and asked suddenly.
"What would you think if someone bought your Wonder Witch (ecstasy) and secretly dropped it in Angelina's drink? Fred?"
Fred followed Ivan's thoughts for a while, only to feel the green light flashing above his head, and he shivered suddenly.
"I have always been optimistic about Angelina." Fred said firmly.
"You can't stay by her side all the time." Ivan shook his head, "So, you still don't want to sell the ecstasy, it's too dangerous! If you have time recently, you might as well study more new products... and soon graduate If you are caught and expelled from school, it will be difficult to handle..."
Under Ivan's persuasion~www.mtlnovel.com~ George and Fred finally gave up the plan to sell dangerous goods, and happily planned their big plan.
After the two left, Hermione finally couldn't help it, "You shouldn't have promised them, Ivan, that's three thousand gallons..."
Ron nodded a bit in agreement. He was sluggish. He had never seen so much money.
"That's only three thousand gallons!" Ivan said indifferently. He can now sell hundreds of gallons for making an alchemy item. The Philosopher's Stone is like a money printing machine. This little money is for him. It's nothing.
What's more, George and Fred are very talented in making magic items. Although they are thinking about some crooked ideas, I have to say that these items are very popular with students.
Why not do a business that only makes money but not loses? He will not be short of money, he will not be too rich, and he can help his friends by the way...
Hermione was very helpless. Although she knew that Ivan was rich, she couldn't use it like that if she had money... Besides, if George and Fred were devoting themselves to the magic shop, they would definitely have passed the NEWT exam this year. Not anymore.
