Chapter 414: Refusal

"Thank you, Professor, I was so frightened that I thought I was going to be captured by the Death Eaters." Hermione tapped her small chest, not noticing the change in Ron's gaze.

Wang Xu saw it but didn't care, and just as he was about to say something, he saw more than a dozen white smokes rushing in from outside the door.

"Order of the Phoenix, prepare for battle!"

With a roar of rage, more than a dozen white lights fell to the ground, turning into members of the Order of the Phoenix led by Moody.

More than a dozen Order of the Phoenix stood in a row, each with a wand, ready for battle.

As a result, when I looked up, the Great Hall was empty, and there was no shadow of a Death Eater.

"McGonagall, what about the Death Eaters?" Moody's magic eye flickered, and he yelled angrily, "Don't tell me, you want to test the reflexes of the Order of the Phoenix, you don't... Death Eaters! Moody said no more, and hurried a few steps forward to the corpse on the ground.

"Brother and sister Caro, Yaxley?"

Glancing at the corpses, Moody quickly recognized who they were, and said in a whisper, "You fought the Death Eaters?" ”

"It's not us, it's Professor Wang." Professor McGonagall stepped up and whispered a few words into Moody's ear.

Moody nodded as he listened, and a magic eye was fixed on Wang Xu, as if to see him through.

"Ron, Hermione, are you alright?" Arthur walked up to Ron and gave him a hug.

"Dad, we're fine." Ron smiled reluctantly and asked, "What about Harry?" ”

"Harry was in a safe place, I knew we should have taken you with me yesterday, I thought the Ministry of Magic couldn't have fallen so quickly, and the Death Eaters would only be secretly dealing with Harry, I was really dizzy."

Arthur was full of self-reproach, they could have taken Hermione and Ron away yesterday, but at that time he thought that the Ministry of Magic would last a while, and the Death Eaters would not dare to mess around.

Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Magic fell overnight, and if it weren't for Professor McGonagall's summons, they wouldn't have known about it, after all, Scrimgeour didn't report to the Order of the Phoenix before he died.

"Daddy..."

Ron was about to ask again, but Arthur interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "The Dark Lord is probably coming, now is not the time to speak." Ron, Hermione, do you still have anything to pack? We're going to take you away at once. ”

"Mr. Arthur, you can take Ron, Hermione won't need to, she's going to study Potions with Professor Slughorn." Wang Xu stood up at the right time, Hermione was now in the sixth grade, and there was still a lot of Potions knowledge that she hadn't learned.

Wang Xu wanted her to become a master potions master, but he couldn't sit back and let Arthur take Hermione out to hide the cat.

After all, there are no Potions masters in the Order of the Phoenix, and Hermione will only waste her time if she goes with them, and Wang Xu has no time to talk to them.

"Professor Wang, Hogwarts is no longer safe, the Dark Lord could come at any time, Hermione is not safe here." Arthur tried to persuade Wang Xu to give up this unrealistic idea.

Wang Xu shook his head slightly, not thinking that there was any need to talk about this issue, and said bluntly: "I will deal with this matter, you just need to be yourself, don't worry about the problems you shouldn't worry about." ”

"Professor Wang..."Arthur was angry and wanted to reason with him, as soon as he spoke, Wang Xu's eyes turned cold: "This is not a request, Arthur, bargain with me, you are not qualified enough!" ”

Arthur was discouraged and could only look at Professor McGonagall with a pleading gaze.

Professor McGonagall shook her head slightly and whispered, "Arthur, you guys should leave quickly, Professor Wang should be sure." ”

"There's no time to waste, it's time for us to go." Moody roared, and with the three corpses on the ground, they turned into white mist and rose into the sky.

More than a dozen members of the Order of the Phoenix turned into white smoke and followed, Arthur glanced at Wang Xu helplessly, grabbed Ron's shoulder and followed.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen members of the Order of the Phoenix disappeared into smoke.

Wang Xu turned his head slightly, looked at Hermione, who was reluctant to leave, and said: "Don't be reluctant, now the Order of the Phoenix is a group of homeless rats, waiting to be served by a pot with their feet exposed." If you go with them, it's not safe to be afraid and not say it, and it's not that you can't meet in the future, and you won't be able to die for a few days. ”

Hermione's eyes were slightly red, and she definitely couldn't die, but she hadn't been separated from Harry and Ron since she entered Hogwarts.

Now that we can't see each other, this loneliness is not pleasant, especially for a sixteen-year-old girl.

"Let's go, there is no class today, I'll take you to the potions shop in Diagon Alley to have a look, so you can recognize the way." Wang Xu called Hermione and went straight to the office, the Harry Potter world has a huge Floo network, as long as you get the owner's authorization, you can go to any place with a fireplace through the Floo network.

The fireplace in Wang Xu's office has opened a line to Diagon Alley, as long as you stand in the fireplace and sprinkle a handful of Floo powder, the flames are burning, and people can be teleported over instantly.

"Diagon Alley, the flower planter's potion shop." Wang Xu stood in the fireplace with Hermione, and sprinkled a handful of Floo powder as he opened his mouth to say his destination.

Rumble!!

Blue flames rose up, enveloping Wang Xu and Hermione and teleporting out.

In the next second, in the fireplace of the Flower Planter's Potion on Diagon Alley, a blue flame erupted in an instant.

Two seconds later, the flames disappeared without a trace, and there were two more figures, one large and one small, in the empty fireplace.

"Professor, is this your potion shop?" Hermione looked around, her eyes tinged with novelty.

Wang Xu walked out of the fireplace, opened the window to let the sunlight shine in, and said without looking back: "The first floor is shelves and some ordinary potions, the second floor has three bedrooms and a potions making room, the warehouse is in the basement, and the bathroom is at the corner of the stairs on the second floor." In the future, you can take classes at Hogwarts during the day, and you can come and live here at night, there are a lot of medicinal materials in the warehouse in the basement, and you can refine any potions you want. ”

"Is it safe here?" Hermione looked around at the wooden shelves, picked up a few bottles of potion and sniffed them.

"The first floor is not good, but the second floor is very safe, I applied for the guardian enchantment of the Loyalty Spell for the second floor in the Ministry of Magic, and the secret is me, no one can go up to the second floor without my permission. By the way, you have permission to go upstairs, and the enchantment here has no effect on you. In normal times, I will also sit here, and when I am here, it is safe everywhere, and when I am not in danger, you can just hide on the second floor, and remember not to go out. ”

Wang Xu replied casually, the Brave Loyalty Spell is a powerful guardian magic, which is stacked by thousands of defense spells, and even Voldemort and wizards of this level cannot break the barrier of this strength.

However, good things usually have a good price, and the Ministry of Magic is responsible for the power supply of the Loyalty Charm, and the cost of one arrangement can be as high as 560,000 gold Galleons, and an additional 120,000 Galleons for each charge.

You must know that Harry Potter's bounty is only 100,000 gold Galleons, and usually only wealthy pure-blood families have the ability to cast the Loyalty Spell for their family coffers.

For example, the Potter family's house in Godric's Hollow, as well as the Black family's ancestral home, 12 Grimmauld Place, are shrouded in this powerful defensive barrier.

If it weren't for James Potter, who replaced the Secret Man with Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort wouldn't have been able to get in and kill them.

Moreover, once the Loyalty Spell is in effect, even the Ministry of Magic cannot stop it, and a single charge lasts for at least five years.

Hermione breathed a deep sigh of relief when she heard that there was a Brave Loyalty Curse to protect her, it is human instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and safety is always the most important thing.

Wang Xu opened all the windows of the room, hung a sign of closure outside the door, and said, "I'll take you to the potions room upstairs to see, what potions do you think will help you improve your level, and what potions will be refined from today on." Materials are not a problem, don't worry about waste, you write me a list later, I will let Shiny go out and buy it, even if you want to refine the mana amplification potion now, I can get you the materials. ”

During the conversation, Wang Xu took Hermione to the second floor.

Walking up the stairs, you will see a small living room, and inside you will find four rooms with different house numbers.

Wang Xu took Hermione to the potions room first, and as soon as the door opened, the potions room with the infinite expansion spell was cast, and the space inside was comparable to a basketball court.

There are a lot of equipment densely packed inside, different from ordinary wizards, Wang Xu has also prepared a lot of modern equipment here.

Electronic scales, material analyzers, freezers, centrifuges, industrial dehydrators, drying ovens...

Technology and magic are combined here, and Wang Xu even transferred an experimental robot from the reverse world to act as an assistant for Hermione.

"This, this is my potions room?" Hermione looked at all this in surprise, walked quickly to a magic cauldron, stroked the model code on it, and said in disbelief: "This is the Foxley Type 5 Magic Automatic, the latest alchemical creation in the wizarding world, even the crucible used by Professor Snape is only the Fox Type 3 Crucible, this crucible is two generations more advanced than the one used by Professor Snape, it is simply too extravagant!" ”

Looking at the various equipment in the potions room, Hermione felt dazzled.

Especially the round robot with countless mechanical arms made Hermione look at it again and again, and she couldn't believe it was real.

"Hello Miss Hermione, I'm your testing assistant, I'll be in charge of using the technology here, and following your instructions, you can call me Edison." The circular robot stepped forward and greeted Hermione.

Wang Xu leaned against the door with his arms crossed, looked at the ecstatic Hermione, and said, "Let's be a villain first and then a gentleman, and the ugly words will be said first." I will give you the best resources and shelter, and you will repay me with the best potions. Normally, I don't make loss-making deals, for every 1 Galleon I spend on you, you will give me 10 Galleons in the future, 100 Galleons in return.

You're not working for me, we're working together, and I'll give you 30% of the benefits for every potion. For example, the lucky water on the market, the purchase price is 1500 Galleons, and the selling price is 6000 Galleons, I will not calculate with you the purchase price, but will only share dividends with you at the selling price. I'll give you 1,800 Galleons for every bottle sold, and you can make it your own. ”

A gold galleon has a gold content of 14.8 grams, and 1800 gold galleons is only about 26000 grams, which is 26 kilograms of gold.

Wang Xu is in the reverse world, controlling the huge cosmetics market, saying that he has little money every day.

You must know that the area of the reverse world is more than ten times that of the earth, and the resources are as high as more than 20 times, and the total amount of gold on the earth is 40,000 tons, and the minimum amount of gold in the reverse world is 100,000 tons.

Wang Xu said unceremoniously that he had the ability to effortlessly mobilize thousands of tons of gold, which was 70 million gold gallons.

Therefore, he was not afraid of giving Hermione more dividends, but he was afraid that the potions she refined were not good enough.

If it weren't for the Harry Potter world, those legendary powerful wizards would eventually be nowhere to be found, which made Wang Xu faintly a little jealous, he could have given full play to his financial advantages and bought the entire wizarding world.
