“…… How much is it? Sergei coughed, suppressing his restless heart.

“…… 39,700 Galleons," Joel swallowed, "and I didn't count some change and daily expenses. ”

Hearing this number, Sergey felt his throat itch more and more, "After removing the initial capital of 2,800 Galleons, we earned a total of 36,900 Galleons?" ”

"That's right." In the room on the second floor of the Leaky Cauldron, Joel and Sergey sat cross-legged on the bed.

Joel reached out and twisted two gold coins from his suitcase, which shimmered in the light of the setting sun.

"We'll divide it into three, one for 12,300 Galleon......s," Joel opened the pocket bag and began to spread the gold coins inside, "You take one and I'll take one, and the last one will be for Helis, after all, she gave us the first money." ”

Sergei's hand shook his head together, "No, no, no, I didn't contribute so much at all......"

Joel was in trouble, and he didn't know how much gold Galleon to give Sergei, if it weren't for Sergei, he would not have been able to smuggle gold in the Soviet Union single-handedly, but to stay in London honestly and earn the difference between gold and silver.

In this way, it seems that Sergey has indeed won more profit space for them.

"6900 Galleons," Joel said after a thought, "I don't want to give less." ”

Sergei was stunned for a second, "...... Yes. ”

He hesitated for a moment and replied, to be honest, he felt that he didn't even deserve the 6,900 Galleons, and that Joel had come up with all the ways to make money, and that he was just a Russian translator.

Sergey's eyes were red, and he took the pocket bag handed by Joel and held it tightly in his hand, "Thank you...... Thank you. ”

Joel patted Sergei on the shoulder and told him not to mind, he also knew that Sergei's family was probably in some difficulty, otherwise where would all the dividend money he got every month go?

He divides the remaining 3W Galleons into two parts, one for himself and one for Haylis.

Suddenly remembering that he hadn't prepared the gift for Christmas last year, Joel glanced at the gold coins in his suitcase and had an idea.

With two days to go before the end of the holiday, Joel went on a shopping spree in Diagon Alley, where his owl Bobby was on the other side of the ocean at the Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in France, and at the moment he had to rent Tom's owl, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, send them all the gifts, and then sit in his room to tinker with things.

Sergei disappeared after receiving the money, and Joel saw him again on the upcoming Hogwarts train.

"Did you get a Christmas present?" Joel asked, and Sergei, who ran into the car out of breath, blushed and nodded.

"Is that the Theory of Magical Defence with Mr. Slinka's message?" Sergei had all his luggage in his pocket-sized bag, and Joel was relieved to see that his face was much stronger than in previous days.

Alan and Eddie also came after the train started, and they seemed to have endless things to say when they got together, except for Sergei, who remained as cold as ever, sitting in his chair and looking intently through the textbook using the quantum wave speed reading method.

"You two are really good, the Christmas holidays are almost over before you think of giving Christmas presents?" Eddie had a bit of banter in his eyes.

"I thought you two were in some trouble." Alan said slowly.

"Ah...... The two of us went on a tour together. Joel prevaricated, "I went to France and Germany, and I forgot to send you gifts before Christmas." ”

"What?" Eddie was anxious, "You two sneaked out behind our backs?" ”

As he spoke, he almost beat his chest, "Joel, Joel, do you remember the apple pie I gave you for Christmas the year before?" I made it myself, and it's a testament to our friendship! ”

No wonder it's so unpalatable, Joel complained in his heart, with a smile on his face.

"Do you still treat the two of us as friends?" Eddie pulled Alan up as well, and the silly white sweet Alan helped the glasses that had just been put on for the Christmas holiday, with a very serious expression, "It's too much to say a word." ”

Seeing this, Joel hurriedly took out a small gift from his suitcase—some French specialties bought by Professor Towidt, and said a few words of relief, and the two friends finally smiled again.

The two of them don't have to travel with Joel Sergei, but they don't worry about the safety of the two of them, Joel grew up in an orphanage without a father or mother, and after a year of living in a group, they also know that Sergei has a bad relationship with his family, what if the two children have an accident in a foreign country?

Once the speed of the car stabilized, Joel left his three roommates behind and carried his suitcases out of the cubicle, and walked down the hallway, soon finding the box where Helis was.

She sat with her brother, Cho and Marietta sat across from each other, Bernie was talking about something, he hadn't seen him for a holiday, his body was much stronger than before, and the three girls frowned in unison, obviously a little irritated.

Joel knocked lightly on the door, and all four of them looked up at the cubicle door at the same time.

"Haylis?" After the door was pulled open by Cho Zhang, Joel whispered, "Can you come out with me, I have something to tell you." ”

"You ......" Bernie blurted out as soon as he saw Joel remembering the 2,000 Galleons his sister had lent her, and asked him to pay it back.

But Helis's sharp eye knife made him swallow the words into his stomach.

After putting down the eye knife, Haylis turned her head to look at Joel, pursing her lips and smiling lightly to reveal two small dimples.

"You're coming for me?" Following Joel out of the compartment to a remote corner at the back of the train, Helis walked briskly, with a little joy in her soft voice.

"I borrowed you 2,000 Galleons before the Christmas holidays, and now it's time to pay you back." Joel opened the suitcase, revealing the golden Garens inside.

Haylis was about to say that she was not in a hurry to return it, but then she was dazzled by the gold coins in the suitcase.

"It's ......," she said, in a soft voice, as if stepping on a cloud.

"With interest, a total of 12,000 Galleons."

"Why do you give me so much?" Haylis didn't understand, "Just pay me back 2,000 Galleons." ”

"Your 2,000 Galleons have helped us a lot in a business," Joel explained, "and you can take the money." ”

"No," Haylis said firmly, "as much as it can be, and I'll ask for my 2,000 Galleons." ”

She snorted angrily, puffing into a bun face.

"You really don't want to?" Joel raised an eyebrow.

"Don't!" Haylis was categorical, "It's your ability that you can make money, I borrowed your money because we have a good relationship, and I didn't lend you money because you can make money." ”
