On the way back to the shop, Harry told McGoth what he heard in Tumbledown Alley.
"You mean Lucius. Malfoy sells a lot of stuff in the Bogin-Bock store? And what about Malfoy? He's not there. Ron was a little nervous, Malfoy had been their fellow in making magic cards with them last year.
Harry's expression was a little strange, "Yes, but." He paused, "But his expression was not very good, and Lucius lectured him there for a while, as if it was because he was angry with McGoth because of his good relationship." ”
"Why?" Ginny knew that her family and the Malfoys had not dealt very well, but last year she had heard that her brothers had become on good terms with the Malfoy children because of McGoss.
"It's not because Maggoth's parents are Muggles, and that sinister guy is a supporter of the Mystery, but now that his son is on good terms with McGoss, I think his expression must be very good." Mr. Weasley scoffed at the pure-blood theory with a look of disdain.
"But why is he going to sell things, the Malfoys aren't very rich?" Hermione was still a little puzzled.
"He was scared, although the Minister of Magic did not admit that the mysterious man appeared again, but how could Lucius's nose not smell the smell, he was afraid that those things would be found by us and turned into evidence, and he couldn't wait to make a move. Hey, I wish I could catch his evidence. ”
"Arthur." Mrs. Weasley shouted at him heavily, "That family isn't easy to mess with. ”
"Do you think I'm afraid of him?" Mr. Weasley said unhappily, but then he didn't mention Lucius again.
While they were discussing, McGoth was thinking about Lucius's diary, and if nothing else was going on, he would find a way to put it in Ginny's hand. He was wondering how to get that journal without drawing their attention.
Back at the shop, the twins and Harry Ron wandered inside, and the Weasleys were discussing how to save the gold galleons they had, everyone here knew about the Weasleys' poor life, but the dignity of wizards made them not accept handouts, so no one said anything to give them money.
It's just that McGoth looked at the empty shelves in front of him and suddenly had an idea, he originally wanted to sell some technology here, but then gave up due to power and signal.
It's just that now looking at Mr. Weasley who is frowning, this idea of being passed by him has been restored, there is no signal and electricity in the wizarding world, but, don't forget the car that Mr. Weasley transformed, it is not powered by gasoline and electricity, and it can fly, since he can use magic instead of cars and electricity, is there a way to signal it?
He was a little anxious to tell Arthur what he thought, but seeing Mrs. Weasley next to him force it down, he knew that Mrs. Weasley would most likely not approve of her husband doing such a 'useless' thing.
"Professor." McGoth walked over to Quirrell and told him to call Mr. Weasley.
Quirrell nodded, and without asking why, walked over to the Weasleys, smiled and invited Arthur over to say a few words.
"What's the matter, Quirrell." Mr. Weasley followed Quirrell to McGoth and asked.
"You should ask my little boss, Mr. Will." Quirrell smiled and pointed at Magos.
"Magos?"
"That's right, Mr. Weasley, I want to do a business with you."
"Partnering in business?" Mr. Weasley looked confused, completely unable to understand what McGoth meant.
"Yes, you are out of technology, we are responsible for sales and then dividends." Magos's words made Quirrell curious, and he looked at Arthur, not knowing what he would do.
"Wait, wait, McGoss, what the hell are you talking about, what technology do I have." Mr. Weasley's face was blank.
"Magic cars, Mr. Weasley, are those magic altered items."
Arthur. Weasley's eyes widened, and he glanced back at his wife.
"Do you want me to transform Muggle items and sell them here?" Arthur immediately understood what the technique McGoth was talking about, and then shook his head repeatedly, "That's just for me to play, and magic Muggle items have always been forbidden by the Ministry of Magic." ”
"Don't be too busy refusing yet, does the Ministry of Magic explicitly prohibit wizards from modifying Muggle items?"
Arthur hesitated for a moment, "Not really, but that's what everyone agrees on." ”
"Yes, Mr. Weasley, it's just lip service anyway, so there's no law that prohibits people from modifying Muggle things, which has never been tried before, I'm sure they're going to be very popular when they come out, and most importantly, you know, a lot of Muggle stuff is very convenient, like cell phones, in the wizarding world the cell phone signal is blocked, if we can replace the signal with magic, think about it, how convenient it is."
Quirrell also understood what McGoth meant, and he and Arthur. Weasley had a vague understanding of technology, having lived in the Muggle world for almost a year in order to take a better course in Muggle studies, and his knowledge of Muggle items was much better than Arthur's, so he looked at Mr. Weasley like a Golden Galleon machine after knowing what McGos meant.
Arthur was a little hesitant, if McGoth only said that he could earn gold Galleons, he would not hesitate to refuse, but he heard him use the mobile phone as an example, he didn't know how to choose, if Harry had a mobile phone that used magic to transmit messages, how could it make them worry for so long.
"But using magic instead of gasoline and electricity is already my greatest ability, it is difficult or impossible to use magic to deliver messages, and the method that Quirrell has just informed me is a very advanced use of magic, and it is better to recreate a magic item that can transmit information if you want to integrate it into an item."
"There's no need to rush this, you can study it slowly, Professor Quirrell can also help, let's try to modify some common items first, such as a Walkman that can play music, computers and the like. We need to make these things acceptable to wizards first. ”
If it were other wizards who didn't have much of a hobby for the Golden Gallons, they might have turned it down by now, and even if they could actually make a magic phone, it would only make them slightly interested. But Arthur. Weasley was different, his obsession with technological objects could be seen from the inside and from his house, this was an opportunity for McGoss, but it was also an opportunity for Arthur, who liked to study electronics, at home he could only secretly study those things, and his wife would confiscate them when he saw them, and now that there was such a bright opportunity in front of him, he was shaken.
"I need to think about it, and I'll have to discuss it with Molly." Mr. Weasley's face was full of confusion, and he wanted to agree, but reason told him that it was illegal, and that what McGoth had just said was just an excuse to comfort himself.
"Of course, and you don't have to worry about this session costing you a lot of time, if you agree, you can change a few small things every month, so that it can arouse everyone's curiosity and not let the Ministry of Magic pay attention."
McGoss's last words were not known to be listened to by Mr. Weasley, and he walked towards his wife with a strong ideological struggle.
"Do you think he'll agree?" Quirrell asked, looking at Arthur who was in a state of despair.
"I don't know, Mr. Weasley must be intrigued, but Mrs. Weasley doesn't like him studying those things, and it's hard to guess, by the way, Professor, can you change those things?"
Quirrell shook his head, "It's hard, I've changed it, but after a certain amount of time, the mana in the item will be used up again." Listen to the car that Arthur remodeled, it was a permanent transformation, and I have never heard of a wizard with such abilities. ”
"Then I can only hope that he will agree."
"I think you're not just seeing a business opportunity, you're trying to help the Weasleys."
"Yes," Magos replied directly, "the Weasleys are no worse than the Malfoys, and the reason why they don't have the right to speak in the Malfoys is because they don't have money, and once the assets catch up with the Malfoys, Muggle wizards like me will be able to have a backer in the Ministry of Magic." ”
Quirrell knew him for the first time, "Are you really only 12?" Why do I think you're thinking farther than I am? ”
"The education I received since I was a child is different, my family has a large estate, and I am the only child in the family, so my father will teach me what I don't understand from a very early age." McGoth also knows that some of the things he does can easily make the people around him wonder about his age, but fortunately, the family can use magic to prevaricate, and the wizarding world can also be explained by the difference in education since childhood.
After talking to Quirrell, McGoth called Harry, Ron and Hermione to buy the books they needed, and was going to call the twins, but Ron said that they had just left, and Ginny and her parents took her to buy the items she needed.
First accompanied Harry to Gringotts to withdraw the money, and then Harry, who instantly became a tyrant, invited everyone to eat a big strawberry peanut butter ice cream. But McGoth thought it tasted a little weird.
When they had bought both of their odds, they headed to their last stop, the Blotted Bookstore.
"Hey, we'll be able to buy them from McGoth when his shop starts selling books in the future." Ron said with a smile.
"Of course, everyone is welcome to buy it when the time comes, and I will give you a 9.99% discount."
"So you're still a Grande." Hermione said in surprise.
"I thought you wanted to know." McGoth took out a couple of copper nuts and shook them in front of her. "Time is money, money is life, my friend."
Laughing and approaching the Blotted bookstore, he found that there was already a large crowd of people there. Most of them look very old.
"What's going on? The boss ran away with his sister-in-law? ”
