The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 1073: no shortage of money

"Albert!"

A surprised voice sounded in the room along with the creaking sound of the door being opened. Hermione stood at the entrance of the Room of Requirement with books in both hands, looking at the figure sitting on the sofa, her mouth slightly open.

"What's wrong?"

Albert turned his head to look at Hermione and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, I'm just... surprised you're still at school?" Hermione walked into the Room of Requirement with her book in hand, with Crookshanks at her feet.

"everybody knows?"

Albert put down "The Quibbler" and turned his head to ask.

"Well, some people wonder if you left school quietly, and some people think you're actually hiding in the Room of Requirement, after all, you always disappear after the weekend." Hermione put the pile of books in her arms on the On the table, he reached out and touched Tom's head, sat opposite Albert and said, "There are too many people in the library, I hope I didn't disturb you."

"No."

Albert waved his wand and conjured a cup of milk tea for Hermione out of thin air.

"Thank you." Hermione looked away from the milk tea cup and asked with big curious eyes, "Do you often sneak out to play?"

"The school's curriculum is almost over." Albert smiled and changed the subject, "I am waiting for graduation, so I borrowed the school's library by the way."

Hermione could actually guess what Albert was sneaking out to do, so she didn't continue to ask, it would only be embarrassing.

Her eyes fell on The Quibbler on the table. Recently, this magazine has become very popular. It is almost as famous as The Defense Express at Hogwarts. The content was transferred to The Quibbler, which successfully avoided the Ministry of Magic ban.

"Rita Skeeter has changed a lot."

Hermione picked up "The Quibbler" and flipped through it, looked sideways at Albert who was feeding Crookshanks, and asked softly, "I'm more curious how you convince her?"

"It's actually very simple." Albert rubbed Crookshanks' head and said, "Also, it's better to keep your cat, and it's okay to leave it alone, but problems will inevitably arise over time."

"Your Tom is over-nourished," Hermione said to herself as she picked up Crookshanks and groomed her, "I asked Dobby earlier, and he said my stuff was causing the house-elves. Trouble. Honestly, I was sad for days."

"There are some ideas that you can't change in a moment." Albert looked at Tom, who was yawning lazily, and stroked his belly with a smile, "Otherwise, Tom would have succeeded in losing weight."

"I'm very confused now!"

Hermione looked at Albert, who was playing with the cat, and expressed her doubts: "I don't know how to help them. I'm considering whether to join the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control in the future."

"Are you going to join the house elf resettlement office?" Albert was a little surprised. His knowledge of the Ministry of Magic came from Bard's explanation. He knew most of the departments of the Ministry of Magic and their work content to ensure that he needed to use it in the future. It can come in handy when going up.

"The house-elves relocated the office?" Hermione was a little puzzled. She had never heard of this office, but according to Albert, it was undoubtedly related to the house-elves.

Hermione took out a stack of employment documents from the stack of books, and found no information on the house-elf relocation office.

"What is this office for?" Hermione asked.

"Literally, it is said to be boring." Albert looked at the confused Hermione and gave him some advice: "I suggest you climb to the director of the Magic Creatures Management and Control Department first, then you will have the opportunity to compile some Laws that are good for house-elves. Of course, you can also work in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, which is the most important department in the entire Ministry of Magic. The Minister of Magic is usually the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Minister, you can also use some magic to benefit the house-elves."

Hermione was a little numb. She felt that the Director of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Minister of Magic were too far away from her.

"It is said that at the Ministry of Magic, it is very difficult for Muggle wizards to get high positions," Hermione muttered.

"There are such potential rules, but..."

"But what?" Hermione asked.

"However, it's not these things that you should worry about most." Albert said softly, "People change, especially when it comes to politics. It's a big dye vat, and it's easy for people to change. After passing through the magical world You who have been baptized with the Ministry of Magic may not care so much about what's going on now,"

"Is this really going to be the case?" Hermione was a little puzzled, obviously not willing to believe it.

"Fudge is the best example, I remember saying it before," Albert said softly. "In order to hold on to the power of the Minister of Magic, he finally chose to discredit Dumbledore, otherwise you really think Fudge is an idiot? No, he is very It is clear that the return of the mysterious man will only make him lose his position as minister, so he took a fluke and delayed this matter for as long as he could, preferably until the end of his term, and throw this big burden away to the next one."

"Fudge did make it very bad." Hermione thought about what Albert had said.

"From Percy, I actually see this. He has changed a lot and has become more snobby. I heard that Percy is about to fall out with his girlfriend. Maybe he will be for his own future. Marry a powerful pure-blood witch as your wife." Albert said softly.

"So, you don't want to join the Ministry of Magic?" Hermione had heard many people say that if Albert entered the Ministry of Magic after graduation, he was expected to become the youngest Minister of Magic in history within ten years.

"It's too tiring." Albert shook his head and said, "Besides, I'm not really interested in power. Wouldn't it be better to do something I like? If I became the Minister of Magic, I would probably throw everything to Others, do their own work, be lazy in the office, eat and wait to die."

In fact, Albert did just that, throwing most things at Fred, George, and Lee Jordan for training them. As long as the two sides have enough interests tied, there is no need to worry too much. With what Albert has in mind, it is actually very easy to really want to make money.

"You don't look like that kind of person. I dare say that there is no one in school who works harder than you."

Hermione doesn't believe this kind of nonsense. In her eyes, Albert has always been the most diligent student at Hogwarts. Maybe Albert is a genius, but his success is absolutely inseparable from his hard work and dedication. .

In Hermione's memory, when she met Albert, most of them were reading, writing or doing other things.

"You know, I hardly lie," said Albert.

"Almost not a lie? It would still lie." Hermione rolled her eyes, pretended not to hear, and asked another topic, "You know why Dumbledore didn't become Minister of Magic? If he became Minister of Magic It might not be as bad as it is now.”

"Dumbledore, he thinks he can't stand the temptation, so it's the best choice for him not to touch or control power." Albert said softly, "I think it's good for him to be the headmaster, Ensuring students have a great house life at Hogwarts and making Hogwarts another new home for students is important to many, and the Headmaster is clearly aware of this. "

"Listening to you, I don't dare to join the Ministry of Magic anymore." Hermione threw the employment documents on the table and asked, "Then what are you going to do after graduation?"

"Occasionally, I may write some books so that my knowledge can be preserved. Then I can live a life I like. Anyway, I don't lack money. The most important thing is to make myself happy." Albert said without hesitation.

In fact, this is actually his life goal in his previous life. As for making money and gaining more knowledge and power, it's just because of need.

"It's surprising." Hermione seemed unable to believe her ears, "I thought you would..."

"Doing a career?" Albert asked with a smile.

"Or become an expert in a certain field." Hermione suspected that Albert was fooling herself.

"I should have counted it." Albert said with a smile, "Although I don't like the word expert very much."

"Well, you haven't said how to convince Rita Skeeter?" Hermione brought the topic back again.

"I didn't persuade her, it was Jin Galleon who persuaded her." Albert probably saw the doubts on Hermione's face, and explained with a smile: "I told Rita Skeeter that Fudge was sitting in that seat. It won't be long, when he steps down, the Ministry of Magic will reshuffle the deck, and then it will be less hostile to Dumbledore, and even help Dumbledore to restore his reputation."

"But what does this have to do with money?" Hermione was even more confused.

"Although these articles by Rita Skeeter will not earn Galleons for the time being, when Fudge steps down, in order to change their tone, the Daily Prophet will definitely buy the reposting rights of these articles, and then they will be able to get a A large amount of Galleons, and she can also get a large amount of Galleons out of it.”

"That's why Rita Skeeter published those articles on The Quibbler?" Hermione's fascination with Rita Skeeter disappeared in an instant.

Although Hermione also liked the recent articles in "The Quibbler", mainly about why no one wants to listen to Albus Dumbledore's voice, and no one wants to believe the truth.

...people all want things to turn out well and are unwilling to face the harsh reality that may exist... Not many people are willing to believe Dumbledore's words until the lies are ruthlessly pulled out... but if they are willing to help them Falling into their own hands, who can help them out of the predicament?

"It may be painful to burst at the beginning, but it is short-lived and can minimize the loss. When the bubble of fantasy inflates and bursts, the cruel reality may completely crush people." Albert whispered Said, "But sometimes people tend to choose the latter, which is very realistic and helpless."

"What's so helpless?"

At this moment, Fred, George and Lee Jordan came in from outside.

"How is it. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"I've seen them all, and some of them are in good locations." Fred took out the photos from the paper bag and arranged them on the table. These photos were taken inside and outside the store.

"I talked to them and gave them an answer before the holiday." George raised his finger to the pile of photos and said, "There are some good locations here, and we have selected these."

"The location of these two is the best, but the price is also the most expensive. If you want to buy it, you need to pay a lot of Galleons. I suggest renting first, and then see if you can buy it. This is also Bill's suggestion." Red took pictures of the two stores and told Albert.

"If possible, it's better to do it once, and there won't be such a good opportunity next time." Albert said looking at the photo.

"Are you going to buy a storefront?" Hermione asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, is there any problem?" All four of them looked at Hermione suspiciously.

"No, I mean it might take a lot of Galleons," Hermione said weakly.

"It's not too much, and it's not a loss." Albert explained, "The price of the shop in Diagon Alley will definitely plummet, so I plan to present a few more stores."

Hermione finally understood what Albert meant by not being short of money, she really wasn't short of money!
