Chapter 175: I'm just an ordinary rich man
Just now Snape saw White Night waving his wand and chanting incantations.
But there was no fluctuation of magic power on his body, and there were no signs of magic.
It's weird.
So, Snape asked directly.
Obviously, he didn't mean anything to hide or beat around the bush, and his character wouldn't do such a thing.
"Oh yes, Professor, as you can see, I'm a Squib." Bai Ye said with a smile.
The so-called Squib refers to a person in the wizarding world who comes from a wizarding family but does not know how to use magic at all.
Does White Nights magic?
Of course he won't.
At least in this world, he didn't feel the so-called magic at all, and he didn't know what it meant to learn magic - it was still unknown whether he could learn it, but he should be able to "become a wizard" through trading.
Whether a person in this world can become a wizard or not has been decided at birth.
Even if a Muggle (ordinary person) born in the non-wizarding world has the potential to become a wizard, at a young age, he will show some unusual qualities.
It's basically the equivalent of "mana leakage".
Then these people will be discovered by the wizard and sent to the "admission invitation" of the magic school to become a wizard.
Harry Potter's little friend, Granger Hermione, is one such example.
Muggles like this were considered unworthy to be mages by some radical pure-blood wizards, who disparingly referred to them as "Mudbloods".
In this magical world, the solidification of class can be said to be quite serious.
Even if ordinary people have the possibility of becoming a wizard, but that is also a "destiny" thing, want to become a wizard through acquired efforts?
Sorry, that's impossible.
As for the Squib, if you think about it, it's much more pitiful than a Muggle wizard who joins the wizarding world.
Being in the wizarding world, but not using magic, the discrimination you encounter will definitely not be small.
It was the first time Snape had seen someone say that he was a squib, without the slightest hint of negativity.
"Really?" Although he was a little surprised, Hogwarts was not without squibs, and Snape was not one of those who would have mood swings over such trivial matters, so he casually replied, "About that potionβ"
"Professor, do you want to buy it?" Bai Ye asked.
"No, actually, I want to talk to you." Snape's dead face said such a thing, and it was full of disobedience.
"There's nothing to talk about." "I didn't invent this potion, although it belongs to me. β
Snape frowned, as if wondering whether what White Night had said was true or false.
"You may not believe it."
Bai Ye continued to smile and said, "I come from an ancient and wealthy family in the East. β
"I don't know any magic, and I'm not a wizard, but I'm very rich, so I can hire a wizard to do the work for me, and one of my wizards made it."
"I'll just take some and sell them for fun."
"I'm just an ordinary rich man."
Rao was Snape's calmness and indifference, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood - rich man!
No wonder this thing doesn't have the sadness of being a squib at all.
You can hire a wizard to work for him, and I'm sad and fartful!
After all, wizards also have to spend money to live.
The rich X generation, Bai Ye successfully put a label on his face.
But since White Night wasn't the distributor of potions, Snape had nothing to communicate with him.
Snape lifted his footsteps and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, Professor." White Night stopped Snape, "We can't trade them, but I can sell you these potions." β
"Huh?"
"You can take these things and study the principle or something, and if you really study it, sell it to me, and I'll buy it at a high price." Bai Ye said.
Snape didn't speak.
When it comes to potions, he really likes them.
Since Lily's death, his life has been black and white, and there are only a few things that can interest Snape a little.
Potions are one of them.
"In addition to turning men into women, there are also people who turn into cats, people who become pigs, and this one is very powerful, it can turn people into pandas. Think about it, once you become a panda, you can keep rolling around in this life, and you will have no worries about food and clothing. Bai Ye pulled out a bunch of small bottles.
"You can buy these professors and study them at will, I won't interfere in any way, and if you study them, they can be regarded as your potions."
Snape's eyes flickered and he said, "I don't have any money." β
ββ¦β¦ No money? Bai Ye asked.
Snape nodded bitterly, he wasn't much of a rich man.
"Then let's make money together." Bai Ye clapped his hands and said, "Professor, you're a master of potions, aren't you?" Research a new potion at random, get a patent to sell, and tens of thousands of gold gallons in minutes. β
"......" Snape didn't speak, he had never thought about it.
Moreover, some of the potions and formulas he researched were directly contributed to Hogwarts.
"It's not a problem with the formula, you see, the headmaster definitely won't deliberately covet your stuff, he's just more selfless. But you can't ask others to be as selfless as he is, potions are something you invented, and you have a natural right to profit from it. Bai Ye said, "This is a natural thing. β
"My suggestion is that you go to Headmaster Dumbledore and discuss, there is no need to reject normal money-making behavior."
"With Headmaster Dumbledore's wisdom, I think you'll have a sum of money coming in soon, and taking a step back, it's good even if it's the school's funds."
"I also donated 5,000 gold Galleons when I came in, maintaining such a big school is always a bit of a hard work, and it's a good thing to make more money."
Snape grozed as he walked to Dumbledore's office.
The mind is full of "make money, make money" that Bai Ye said.
Money is not important, but what it matters is what money can bring.
A wizard is not a person who lives in a vacuum.
In a word, once they have money, including what they are doing now, they will get a lot of help.
In addition, you can live as chic as a white night.
"It's normal to ignore the power of 'money' after having supernatural powers. After all, it is only under order that money can exert its power. White Night looked at Snape's back and said secretly, "But the wizards of this world are not too extraordinary. β
"At such times, no one can ignore the value of 'money'."
What Snape and Dumbledore would talk about, White Night didn't bother to worry about.
They are all smart people.
Even if Snape had ever thought about it, it would have been more of a blind eye.
After Bai Ye uncovered the leaf, there was no need for him, an outsider, to dictate.
A little total, it is not necessary to make a lot of money, but it is definitely no problem to make 80,000 yuan casually.
The rest of the year was calm at Hogwarts.
It was Snape's unusual "discordant" voice that rang out often.
"Courage! Gryffindor Plus 10 points! β
This is a sentence that "Harry Potter" couldn't help but refute Snape.
"Will arrange the time reasonably, Gryffindor is adding ten points!"
This is "Harry Potter" who was unable to finish his Potions class homework due to lack of sleep.
"Ruled out a wrong refining method, Gryffindor plus ten!"
This is when "Harry Potter" made a mistake while refining potions in class, and almost exploded.
"It's too similar - anyway, Gryffindor plus ten points, those Slytherin classmates including Malfoy, this school year, you all stand for me in Potions class!"
Not long after the start of school, Gryffindor rode the dust because of various "plus ten" relationships.
The scores left the other three houses far behind.
Professor McGonagall has a big opinion - McGonagall is the head of Gryffindor, and Snape is the head of Slytherin.
Then, rumors spread throughout the school that a solution had been found to deal with the feared Professor Snape, who liked cute "boys".
Well, Hakuya's "Cute Boy Potion" became an instant bestseller.
Fortunately, Professor McGonagall had the foresight to make it a rule not to sell to students.
Bai Ye also said that he couldn't help it, but he hinted that he couldn't sell it to students, but he couldn't sell it to others!
Bright and rich students understand right away.
So, the ghost or something went to the White Night Store to buy something.
For a while, there were a lot of cute boys at Hogwarts.
All sorts of things are in a mess.
It wasn't until Dumbledore came back from a business discussion that Professor McGonagall, as well as Snape, got angry at the same time, and threw the hapless kids into the confinement cell.
Normal "free activity" is not allowed until the effects of the drug have completely worn off.
At the same time, Snape also concocted some magic potion to hasten the end of the drug's effect.
In this way, the "cute boy phenomenon" at Hogwarts was curbed.
And as the first cute boy, "Harry Potter" was not punished in any way.
According to some grapevine.
Originally, "Harry Potter" was also going to be confined, but the three parties had a heated discussion.
Legend has it that they all drew their wands in the end, and in the end, "Harry Potter" was not allowed to be imprisoned.
Presumably Headmaster Dumbledore was supporting Harry?
Or is it Professor Snape supporting Hallie?
A group of bear children have been punished, so Bai Ye, the culprit, naturally can't be let go easily - even if he donates 5,000 gold gallons.
But when Professor McGonagall came to the door, the commissary was closed for the day - on the grounds that he was going back to his hometown.
However, no one has ever left the school during this time.
How did White Night leave?
Professor McGonagall found Nero, the White Night Bodyguard and Teaching Assistant, who was still at school, to inquire about the situation.
Nero said that he was just a bodyguard, and he had no idea what the boss was thinking, and his whereabouts were not very clear.
"Alright, next class I'm going to play as a Dementor and get knocked down by Lockhart or Lockhart, the students love it, don't disturb our practice, Professor." Finally Nero dismissed McGonagall with these words.
By the way, there's also the fact that Lockhart doesn't do well in class and turns the class into a personal show.
McGonagall and Dumbledore both frowned deeply, deeply.
Why did you blindly agree to these people in school in the first place?
