Chapter 322: Dinner at Blake's Ancestral House
George and Fred were mischievous and laughed carefree all day. But the two of them care about their families very much www.biquge.info they open gambling games at school and sell all kinds of goods, all in order to make more money and reduce the burden on their families. So even if they know it's going to make money, they can't ask their families for it.
Although the Weasleys are pure-bloods, they are very poor and have no bloodline at all. In the eyes of other pure-blood families, this is simply a shame, but in the eyes of Bruce and the others, the Weasleys are really enviable, and everyone in this family cares about their loved ones, so they are called home.
Looking at the appearance of the three of them, Bruce smiled and said, "If it's money, I can help." ”
"What?!"
George and Fred hurriedly came to Bruce's side and asked excitedly, "Bruce, what you just said is true?" ”
Ron said, "Bruce, don't lose your net worth to help. It's okay to be successful, but it's bad if it fails. I don't want you to end up on the streets when you marry Hermione. ”
"you!" Hermione blushed and said angrily, "Beware of me turning you dumb." ”
Harry laughed, "Huh! Ron, don't worry. This guy is amazing right now, have you forgotten that he's made a lot of money with his new wand. ”
"yes!" Ron slapped his head and laughed, "Damn, I forgot about this." ”
As soon as Bukhari said this, George and Fred remembered the scene where Ron boasted to them that night that he had received a cramp in his hand.
Bruce said, "I'll pay for it, and George and Fred will pay for it. As for the money earned? Well? You have seventy percent, and I only have thirty percent. ”
Although Bruce became the majority shareholder, he thought that researching these gadgets was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he just had to pay for it and didn't have to worry about it. And Bruce wasn't a businessman, he was only doing it to help his friends, and of course he wasn't a rich man to take money for it, and he wouldn't have done it if it weren't for the offer and his faith in the Weasley brothers.
"No way!" George Fred Roon objected at the same time.
Ron said dissatisfiedly, "How can you only take 30%? It's not fair! ”
George nodded and said, "Bruce, if you want me to make more money, this is absolutely fine, because Fred and I can do it." But we can't accept your share like that. ”
"That's right! Half and half. Otherwise, we don't talk about it. Fred said.
Bruce laughed, "In that case, then do what you say half and half." ”
"Haha!" After Bruce agreed, the two smiled excitedly: "Great, we will definitely get rich." ”
Harry spoke, "Excuse me, George Fred! You're still students, will the school agree to open a shop and do business? ”
Hermione explained, "George and Fred have passed the general wizarding level assessment, and they are considered quasi-wizards, and the school should not stop them. ”
George said smugly: "That's right, we can open the store first, and we can usually let my mother manage it, and we have enough time to make the goods that need to be sold at school." ”
Hermione looked at Bruce worriedly and asked, "How much money do you have?" Don't throw it all in. Ron was exaggerating, but I don't want you to go to school on a grant. ”
Bruce laughed, "Don't worry! The money taken out is only a share of the new wand, and although it is not enough to buy a house, it is still possible to rent a storefront in Diagon Alley. ”
In this way, what was originally a discussion about the conversation of the people downstairs turned into a discussion of business, and of course, thanks to this, the Weasleys' living conditions began to change for the better, and the Weasley Joke Shop, which would become famous in the wizarding world in the future, was born in this conversation.
"Kids, come down for dinner!"
At this moment Mrs. Weasley's voice came from downstairs, and Bruce said, "These things will be discussed later, and now we will go to dinner." ”
Bruce Hermione, Harry and Ron came to the first floor, and Mrs. Weasley said, "Come on, boys, we've got a little too many guests to have dinner in the living room...... Well? Ron, George & Fernandes...... Yes! ”
Before she could say that, George and Fred suddenly appeared behind her, and Mrs. Weasley, frightened, almost didn't jump.
"Haha! Good evening mom! The two of them smirked smugly.
Mrs. Weasley roared angrily, "How many times have I told you, that although you can use magic now, it doesn't mean that you have to take out your wand and play around with everything!" “
As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his hand to teach the two of them a lesson, and George Fred had long been accustomed to slipping away with oil under his feet before his mother could make a move.
Ron smiled wryly, "Now you know how I got over this summer!" ”
"Mom, don't make such a fuss, okay?" Ginny came down from upstairs and said dissatisfiedly.
When they saw Jenny, the three of them immediately said, "Hi, Ginny! ”
"Hey! Harry, Bruce, Hermione, it's a pleasure to see you. Ginny laughed.
At this point, Mr. Weasley came up behind his wife and comforted him, "Okay, don't be angry, the kids are just joking." Quick, Harry, Bruce, Hermione, and Ginny, come over for dinner. ”
Mrs. Weasley adjusted her expression and said with a smile, "You three must be hungry." ”
Mr. Weasley looked at them and smiled, "Are you alright, Bruce, Harry?" It's a shock to hear about you. ”
Harry said, "Thanks, I'm fine." But Bruce was bothered by me. ”
"Oooh! Harry Potter is a friend again? Sirius's voice came from behind the Weasleys.
The Weasleys hurriedly stepped out of the way, and Sirius smiled as Harry stretched out his outstretched arms. Seeing his godfather Harry, he was very excited and immediately hugged him: "Sirius! ”
"Oh! Good fellow, you're getting taller again, let me see! Sirius took a step back and looked at Harry, saying, "It's getting James too." ”
Lupin walked over and smiled, "I hope you don't get as much trouble as the pointed fork." ”
Harry immediately hugged Lupin and smiled, "Hello, Professor! It's great to meet you. ”
Sirius said, "Come on, let's try Molly's craft, and introduce you to some friends by the way." ”
The group arrives at the dining room in the living room, where Sirius introduces Bruce to his two friends, none other than Nydofara Tonks, a punk beauty whom Moody calls Nydofara. And the black wizard who wore an unknown national costume, Kingsley Shackle.
Snape, whom they heard in the "bugging", wasn't here, nor were some of the wizards who had come with them, presumably leaving after the meeting.
Mrs. Weasley got up and went to the kitchen to bring dinner to the table, when Tonks came to Harry and talked to him about flying with great interest, Bruce looked at Tonks curiously, Hermione snuggled into his ear and quipped, "You don't like women older than you, do you?" ”
Bruce looked at her speechlessly and said, "Where do you want to go?" I'm just curious why she hates her name so much? ”
Hermione was surprised, "Isn't it? You don't even know this? Are you British? ”
Bruce asked curiously, "Does this have anything to do with the British?" ”
Hermione glanced at Tonks and saw that she and Harry were having a good conversation, so she whispered, "Nifa is an indecent title in England. ”
Bruce suddenly nodded in realization, but at this moment, Tonks suddenly shouted, "Hey! What do you two say? ”
The two looked at Tonks in surprise, she was staring at them suspiciously, and said, "Are you talking about me again?" ”
Bruce laughed, "You hear what we're talking about?" ”
Tonks said, "Of course not! ”
Bruce smiled lightly and said, "Then we didn't say you again." ”
"What? You ......" Tonks didn't expect Bruce to answer like this, and he held back a lot of words, and Sirius and Lupin on the side immediately laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Tonks yelled at the two angrily, the two of them hurriedly put away their smiles, Tonks stared at Bruce expressionlessly, and suddenly laughed: "Bruce Sterling!" It's so interesting! ”
Bruce laughed, "Is this praising me again?" ”
Tonks said, "Sort of, I heard Remus say you're a genius, and you mastered Animagus in your third year." ”
Bruce touched his nose and said, "That's because of Professor McGonagall's help." ”
Lupin interjected, "Bruce, don't be modest. Tonks is an expert in Transfiguration, not under Professor McGonagall. ”
"Oh! Is it? Bruce said with great interest.
Tonks smiled at Lupin, and her handsome face suddenly had two more cat mustaches, and her face turned into a meow. Before Bruce could exclaim, Tonks had an extra pig's nose on his face and a grunting sound that made Ginny laugh.
Hermione looked at Tonks in surprise and hurriedly said, "This is ...... Disguised Magus? Merlin is on top, and Maggus is disguised for real? ”
Harry asked curiously, "What is the disguised Magus, and is there a difference between it and Bruce's Animagus?" ”
Hermione explained, "Of course there is a difference, and a big difference. The Animagus is an acquired and can only be transformed into an animal. And disguised Magus is innate, these people are born with the ability to change their appearance at will. I've only seen it in books, it's amazing. ”
"Oh my God!" Ron hurriedly shouted, "Mom, bring the food quickly, or Hermione will start hypnotizing again." ”
"Haha!" The crowd laughed, Hermione's face flushed, and she said angrily, "Damn Ron." ”
Mr. Weasley laughed, "OK! ok! That's the end of the dinner banter, kids! Now let's talk about Bruce, I guess you don't want your friends to be fired, right? ”
Everyone fell silent, and Ron hurriedly asked, "Dad, did you get any news?" ”
Mr. Weasley said, "This afternoon the Ministry of Magic sent documents, Bruce's hearing will be held in front of the entire Wizengamot. ”
Wizengamot, the highest court in the wizarding world. It consists of a chief magician and more than 50 members. The trial is conducted in the form of questions posed by the interrogator, the registrar is responsible for taking notes, and the final decision is made by a show of hands.
Bruce said, "So I'm going to the Ministry of Magic's headquarters?" ”
