Chapter 768: Weasley Joke Toy Store (2-in-1)
Ivan pondered for a moment, his eyes scanning the classroom, especially Malfoy and the Slytherin students.
These people's parents have joined the Death Eaters, and both have the possibility of attacking themselves......
However, it is not to be taken lightly with anyone else, after all, dark wizards with strong magic can use the Imperius Curse to control anyone.
Thinking of this, Ivan glanced at Snape again, the other party must have known more information, but for some reason he was unwilling to tell himself directly.
Is it because of some reason that it can't be said, or is it just a trick?
Ivan touched his chin, feeling a little difficult, and Snape kindly reminded himself that he couldn't arrest Snape and press him, right?
The two Potions classes ended quickly, and when they walked out of the Potions class, all the young wizards breathed a sigh of relief.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione discuss what's coming. L. exams, and the question of career choice in the future, Ivan is still thinking about who is going to murder him.
"Ivan, Ron, Hermione, have you figured out what you're going to do after graduation?" Harry looked at the group and asked curiously.
His knowledge of the wizarding world was limited to a few years of study, so he couldn't be sure which exams would be more important.
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet." Ron said slowly, "But I think the Aurors are pretty cool......"
It's just a pity that the requirements are too high......
Ron silently added in his heart,.. Exams are inherently difficult, and applying for an Auror requires at least five relevant subjects to get an O (Perfect) or E (Exceed Expectations), and only a handful of people are able to do it each year.
"Aurors? I thought it would be nice to be a professor at Hogwarts, like Lupin and Moody. Harry said that Fudge's senses weren't very good for the Ministry of Magic due to Fudge's successive brain-dead actions.
On the other hand, Hermione swore that she was ready to do something more meaningful after graduation.
"Something meaningful? Like liberating the house-elves?! Ron couldn't help but spit out.
"It's just one of the things! Ron, I have a lot of other things I want to do, like forbidding wizards from calling ordinary people who don't know magic Muggles, which is a bad slur......" Hermione said firmly.
In Hermione's view, the entire British wizarding world is full of medieval decay, and the laws and regulations are full of inequalities and loopholes.
It is precisely because of this that Lucius and the Death Eaters can get away with it, and Voldemort's plots will succeed again and again.
Ron scratched his head, he couldn't understand what Hermione was trying to say, was there anything wrong with calling someone who couldn't do magic a Muggle?
That's what they've always called.
Hermione's other ideas were completely whimsical, whether it was giving preferential treatment to house-elves, banning scorn titles, or changing the law, it was nothing less than a fantasy.
"Who says it can't be? As long as the Minister of Magic is willing to enact the appropriate 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 strange gaze, Hermione had said that once last year, thinking that Hermione was just joking.
Ron also shook his head, a Muggle-born witch had almost zero chance of becoming Minister of Magic.
Hermione ignored Harry and Ron, who poured cold water, and continued to talk about her plan.
Although she is still far from this goal, she can start working hard this school year, such as applying for the exam. L. Examine all subjects and strive to get the highest rating in all of them.
Excellent grades and resume are the capital of the future promotion to the Minister of Magic......
Hearing that Hermione was going to take twelve exams at the same time this year, Harry and Ron were a little embarrassed.
Is this a top student? Can't be provoked, can't be provoked......
"Ivan, are you going to take all the exams this school year like me?" Hermione turned her head to look at Ivan, who had been silent, and asked.
"Eun... Yes? Ivan, who was thinking about things, nodded subconsciously before reacting to what Hermione was saying.
"Then we'll be better at that time!" Hermione said happily.
Ivan touched his nose, when did he agree?
However, Ivan didn't say no more about refusing, after all, these exams were nothing to him, and if it weren't for the fear of damaging Hermione's self-confidence, he would have taken it now... There are no problems with the exam.
Hermione then looked at Harry and Ron, asking if they wanted to get involved.
Ron shook his head frantically, for a self-aware scumbag like him, he could pass six or seven courses this school year. L. The exam is already a blessing.
Harry also hurriedly changed the subject. "By the way, Ivan, you didn't say what you want to do in the future?"
"Me? After graduation, buy a big enough house and build a magic research room, and study magic every day......" Ivan hesitated for a moment and spoke.
That's it? Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked at Ivan with strange eyes.
As the recipient of the Order of Merlin of the first degree, the greatest genius Hogwarts has ever seen, he is ready to study magic at home and become an otaku after graduation.
This... It's weird.
Noticing the strange gazes of several people, Ivan pursed his lips and did not mean to explain.
To be an Auror, a professor or something with his strength is completely overkill.
As for dominating the wizarding world? It doesn't seem to be interesting.
If it weren't for being forced to be helpless, Ivan would never have been interested in forming a force, and fighting Voldemort was just to protect himself and his family and friends.
He was most interested in studying magic, especially after learning about the nature of magic from Nicol Lemay.
Changing matter, immortality, resurrection from the dead......
The power of magic is unimaginable, but it's also fascinating!
……
The first day of school was soon over, and after walking out of the door of the divination class, they returned to the Gryffindor common room.
When they walked into the entrance, they happened to see George and Fred standing on the bulletin board with something posted.
"George, Fred, what are you doing here?" Ivan stepped forward in confusion and found George and Fred taping an advertisement on the bulletin board.
Hermione would have seen this scene too, and stopped them angrily and spoke. "The bulletin board in the break room is used by the prefect to issue emergency notices, not for you to post advertisements."
"Use it now, we'll tear him off if there's an emergency......," George said with a grin.
It's a pity that Hermione doesn't eat this set, and they are adamantly not allowed to use the bulletin board as a place to promote "products".
"Also, you are not allowed to sell truant candy, cheating quills and aphrodisiacs that can answer questions automatically in the school, this is a serious violation of order!" Hermione said as she glared at the two of them.
"Don't be so careful, Hermione, everyone wants to have some fun outside of their studies!" Fred emphasized in a faithful tone.
"Yes, yes, for example, our newly developed Wonder Witch (Aphrodisiac Elixir), I think many wizards need this to improve their charm...... George also nodded, and then rolled his eyes, took out a bottle of Wonder Witch from his pocket and secretly stuffed it into Hermione's hand, and whispered.
"Think about it, if you sneak a drop of this into Ivan's drink, he's going to love you to death......"
Hermione's face flushed with rage, and she threw the Wonder Witch back in her hand, she didn't need anything like that.
Ivan was speechless, George's bribes seemed to be hidden, but his body had been strengthened many times, and this little action naturally couldn't hide from him.
"What are you doing in such a hurry to promote a new product?" Ivan asked.
"Of course, in order to earn more gold Galleons, Fred and I are going to open our own magic shop after graduating this school year, and we are still a lot of money short." George spread his hands helplessly.
"Do you need my help? Three thousand Galleons, is it enough? Ivan casually said a number.
"Three... Three thousand Galleons?! George and Fred were startled, and Qi Qi gasped, they had never seen so much money!
Since they started making their own magic items after making a gamble in the third year, they have only had more than 100 Galleons at most, and the rest of the money is used to buy materials or support the research of new items.
Sometimes they even can't make ends meet......
Because of this, they are ready to make money by selling flyers this year.
But even so, according to the two of them, if they want to rent a cheap storefront in Diagon Alley and renovate it, it will take at least eight or nine hundred Galleons, and they will have to sell the goods frantically for several years to get it together.
After all, they are now understaffed and have limited time, so they can't scale up production at all.
"What? Isn't three thousand Galleons enough? Seeing that George and Fred were stunned for a long time, Ivan asked again.
"No, no, no, it's too much!" George jumped up all of a sudden, and said excitedly.
Three thousand Galleons!
Originally, they only wanted to rent a remote location, and they could have a venue, but with 3,000 Galleons, they could choose the most suitable location, and the decoration could be more perfect, and more importantly, they didn't have to worry about follow-up research funds.
Just thinking about them was thrilling, but it didn't take long for their enthusiasm to cool down.
George hesitated for a moment and said with some embarrassment. "Ivan, you've helped us a lot before, and we can't accept your help anymore...... And three thousand Galleons is too much......"
Ivan stretched out his hand to stop George's follow-up words and explained. "Make no mistake, this is the kind of investment that pays off! Well, I'm confident in the joke toy store you're going to open......"
George and Fred looked at each other, then nodded in unison. "Okay, yes, but the benefits are ......"
"I'm only three achievements, after all, the magic items you have researched are the fundamental ...... of the magic shop," Ivan said before he spoke.
The Weasley Joke Toy Store was George and Fred's dream and brainchild, and Ivan wasn't ready to take it.
However, George and Fred felt that Ivan was too disadvantaged and firmly disagreed.
After some deliberation, they unanimously decided to sell forty percent of the Weasley Joke Store to Ivan for fifteen hundred Galleons, with the remaining fifteen hundred Galleons to be borrowed by them.
Ivan couldn't resist the two, so he simply agreed, and then changed his voice and reminded him. "Now that you have the money, you guys shouldn't be putting up leaflets everywhere lately, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is not easy to deal with, if you are caught by her, it will not be as simple as confinement."
"That Umbridge from the Ministry of Magic? We're not afraid of her......," Fred said with a big grin.
"And you're now the largest shareholder in the Weasley Joke Toy Store, can't you always help your girlfriend? You should be tough, Ivan, you can't let her do everything......" George said as he ignored Hermione's angry eyes next to him.
"No, it has nothing to do with Hermione, I'm just worried about you getting into trouble." Ivan sighed, looked at Fred and asked suddenly.
"What would you think if someone bought your Wonder Witch (aphrodisiac) and secretly dripped it into Angelina's drink? Fred? ”
Fred thought about it along Ivan's train of thought, only to feel a green light flash above his head, and suddenly shivered.
"I've always been bullish on Angelina." Fred said firmly.
"You can't stay with her all the time." Ivan shook his head, "So, you better not sell the aphrodisiac, it's too dangerous!" Recently, if you have time, you might as well research more new products...... We're all about to graduate, and if we get caught and expelled from school, it's not going to be easy......"
Under Ivan's persuasion, George and Fred finally gave up on their plans to sell dangerous goods and happily planned their plans.
After the two of them left, Hermione finally couldn't help it, "You shouldn't have promised them, Ivan, that's three thousand Galleons......"
Ron nodded in agreement, the whole person was sluggish, he had never seen so much money.
"That's just three thousand Galleons!" Ivan said indifferently, he can now sell hundreds of Galleons for an alchemy prop he makes, and the Philosopher's Stone is like a money printing machine, which is nothing to him.
What's more, George and Fred are very talented in making magical items, although they all think of some crooked ideas, but I have to say that these goods are very popular with the students.
Why not do a business that only makes money and doesn't lose money? He is not short of money, he will not be too rich, and he can help his friends by the way......
Hermione was helpless, although she knew that Ivan was rich, no matter how rich she was, she didn't use it like that...... In addition, if George and Fred were to focus on the magic shop, this year's . They won't be able to pass the exam.
