Because of the full purchase of the Firebolt, Sirius received a gift from the shopkeeper for all of the Quidditch League's matches for next year, a full set of ten, all Grand Seats.

Quidditch League is the abbreviation of the British and Irish Quidditch Premier League, which is made up of thirteen of the best teams in the wizarding world.

Unlike the simple confrontation between the four Hogwarts houses, the Quidditch League is a professional match.

They compete at a high level and are looking for players from all over the world.

Gryffindor Quidditch captain Oliver Wood's biggest dream is to join Pudmere United as a professional player after graduation.

When he was at school, he always brought the latest news of Pudemere United's games, and his articles to Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry were all about this, discussing the analysis of the new tactics used by Pudemere United.

Because I usually hear a lot from Wood, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione are also looking forward to it, and they want to see what the professional league is like.

They checked the schedule for next year and found that on the first day of the new year, Pudermere United took on the Wimbourne Hornets.

Because it was the first Quidditch match after Christmas, the clamoring for both teams to win the tournament, and the fact that next summer is the Quidditch World Cup, the tournament was so popular that tickets were hard to come by, but Sirius was lucky enough to get a set ticket.

After discussion, it was decided to watch the game before going back to school, and the Weasleys were invited to join them.

Evan walked down the stairs, these were the things he needed to accomplish in the remaining days of the Christmas break, and the most important thing was to improve his strength.

The first floor of the Leaky Cauldron Bar was a mess, completely devoid of last night's Christmas spirit.

Almost overnight, the bistro was transformed from a lively Christmas party venue to a small, filthy appearance that had not been cleaned for centuries.

However, the air is not unpleasant, but filled with the smell of food.

Tom, the bar's owner, was standing behind the shabby bar, frying a string of fragrant sausages, and an ugly smile appeared on his face when he saw Aven.

"Good morning, Mr. Mason!"

"Good morning!" said Evan in greeting.

In the side hall not far away, Lupin, Sirius, and Hermione had already gotten up, and they were sitting around a round table eating breakfast and discussing something happily.

As if anticipating Aven's arrival, they prepared a breakfast for him.

"Just in time, Aven, we just got to talk about you!" Sirius waved his hand as Evan walked in, motioning for him to sit next to him, and said straight to the point, "I just heard from Remus and Hermione that you're going to rent a house in Diagon Alley?"

"That's right!" Evan nodded, not knowing why Sirius brought it up, he took the milk from Hermione and explained, "I've thought about it, if you want to further expand the sales and influence of Hogwarts Wizards and Wizards, moving the newspaper's headquarters to Diagon Alley like the Daily Prophet did is a must, so that Professor Lupin can manage it."

"Have you chosen a spot?" Sirius asked, "The rent for the Diagon Alley shop isn't cheap, and it costs a lot of gold!"

Evan shook his head, in fact, it was exactly what he had a headache for.

Although Evan has made a lot of money from Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry advertising in the past two years, he also spends a lot of money.

Not to mention the sponsorship of various magical research projects for Fred, George, Hermione, and other young wizards, just asking the Brett Bookstore to collect precious magic books and buy a large number of potion materials cost him the vast majority of his income.

The funds that Evan can use now are around two hundred gold gallons, and these funds can only choose one shop in a remote place, but I hope the location is not too remote.

The most worrying thing is that he can't spend all this money.

Aven had to keep some of it for the daily turnover of the newspaper, as well as to buy the necessary materials for magic experiments, as well as to improve his strength

The amount of money that needs to be spent on the increase of mana is a completely bottomless pit.

Don't say two hundred gold galleons, even if you give him another two thousand gold galleons, it will not be enough for him.

Evan sighed, no matter what angle he looked at, he had to find a project that could make a lot of money in the long term.

Although the operation of a newspaper can be profitable, it is far from enough, and the main purpose of running a newspaper is to enhance its influence and control public opinion, and making money is secondary.

Moreover, the income of "Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry" has reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to make a big increase in a short period of time.

As for the practical profit project, Evan only knows of one at the moment.

That's the Weasley prank product developed by Fred and George, and the things they make are very popular with other young wizards. If nothing else, it can even become the biggest brand of prank products in the wizarding world, and making money is not a problem.

The problem now is that if they want to realize all the ideas in their heads and open up sales, they still need a lot of gold galleons in the early stage.

Evan didn't have that money, and Fred and George couldn't have it, and almost all of their previous R&D expenses were sponsored by Aven.

Also, if you want to open a joke shop, you also need to rent a shop in Diagon Alley.

All the problems are back to square one, they simply don't have enough money to rent a suitable shop in the right location in Diagon Alley.

The Weasley Joke Shop matter is put on the back burner, but the matter of the newspaper headquarters is urgent and must be resolved in the days of the Christmas holidays, not until next summer.

Evan calculated that the rent of a shop in a not too remote location would be between 300 and 500 gold galleons a year, depending on the surrounding situation and the flow of people.

This means that he has to find a way to scrape together at least two hundred gold galleons.

Ai Wen is going to determine the specific store first, and the money on hand can be used as rent. If there is really no way in the end, there are still many precious magic books and some potions that have been refined in his personal collection, and some can be sold first.

But as a last resort, Evan wouldn't do that.

He was thinking of a way to get two hundred gold galleons quickly, even if he reached out to his family to ask for it, his parents would not give him so much money at once.

Even if you want to borrow money, you can hardly borrow it.

Whether it's the Weasleys, Lupin, Harry, or Hermione, the people around Evan have a relatively average economic level, and they can even be called difficult, unless

Aven suddenly thought of Sirius, who, despite twelve years of imprisonment in Azkaban, still possessed an incredible fortune as the sole heir of the noble and oldest Black family.

From the fact that he casually bought Harry a firebow bolt as a Christmas present, it was clear that he was not short of money at all, and a few hundred gold Galleons was not a problem.

Aven's eyes lit up, and before he could open his mouth, he heard Sirius continue.

"I can help you with the house, and if I'm not mistaken, the Black family also has a few shops in Diagon Alley, which are ancestral inheritances that you can use whenever you need them. Sirius said nonchalantly, "Otherwise, I'll be idle, and I won't have time to manage or collect rent if I rent it out." ”

Hearing Sirius's words, Evan was stunned for a moment, he had just raised this idea, and the other party had already brought up this matter, obviously he had already planned this regard, it turned out that he had just talked to Lupin and Hermione about this matter.

Evan hurriedly thanked Sirius, but the other party said that these things should not be taken to heart.

In Sirius's opinion, the small favor of providing a few shops was nothing compared to what Evan had helped him do before.

Because of the long time passed, Sirius couldn't remember the exact number and location of the stores.

When Harry arrived, they discussed it for a while, and decided to go to the Black family's vault in Gringotts after breakfast and look for the deeds.

Evan was also curious about the Black family's coffers, and he wanted to see how amazing the wealth that this pure-blood family had accumulated over the past thousand years. (To be continued.) )
