Chapter 23: The Meaning of Money to Arthur (Daily Recommendation Ticket Monthly Pass)

"What do you two want to do?"

"Don't be so cold, we've been friends for years."

"There are good things to share. Come in and sit! ”

With George and Fred's enthusiasm, Cedric reluctantly entered Harry Potter's box half-on-half.

And Arthur, looking at the fire of gossip in George and Fred's eyes, also followed in with interest.

The already small and closed box was extremely crowded after the addition of four Arthurs.

Fortunately, none of the five people in the box were heavyweight, otherwise the somewhat restrained Harry Potter could only stand in the aisle.

Cedric smiled wryly at the Weasley Twins sitting across from him, old friends he had known since he had not yet entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

He knew very well that George and Fred were only interested in books that could be pranked, and would not read any other books at all.

I remember when I was a child, when I shared "The Tales of the Poet Bean" with them, they were only interested in the pranks that played on others.

Even in order to make the same prank alchemy item in the book, they actually frantically used their younger brother as an experiment.

In the name of it, we want to raise my younger brother to be like them...

Retracting his thoughts, Cedric turned his gaze to Harry Potter sitting by the window.

The worn-out glasses, the short hair that has not been repaired for a long time, and the restrained and well-behaved face, all of this is connected with this box.

Cedric suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

Harry, who was staring at Cedric's fiery gaze, had his heart pounding and his little face reddening slightly.

He hadn't made friends since he was a child, and he didn't know how to respond to the other party's eyes, so he had to twist his head to the side and pretend to look out the window.

"Arthur... You! ”

Cedric suddenly reacted, isn't this exactly the same as the previous plot of Chapter 6 of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "The Journey from Nine and Three-Quarters"?

It's just that the glasses worn by Harry in the novel are not as badly damaged.

The Weasley twins helped Harry pack his bags and left, without the current episode.

"It's just a coincidence."

Faced with Cedric, who had already guessed something, Arthur only responded lightly.

He took his wand from under the nascent wizard's robes, and then looked at Harry, who was a little restrained.

"I'm sorry to write a novel under your name without your consent. As an excuse for my apologies, please let me fix your glasses. ”

Without waiting for Harry to indicate if he needed it, Arthur waved his wand and chanted a curse in a low voice.

'Gain the favor of the other party first, so that when he knows the truth, he is very likely to forgive you..."

Aunt Teresa's words echoed in Arthur's mind.

When it comes to all matters related to money, Arthur will be very cautious!

In the wizarding world, there are very few infringement of the right to name and reputation.

But Harry was something special in that he had been living in a Muggle family since his parents died.

He may not understand the laws of the Muggle world when he is young, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand them when he grows up.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" not only uses his name, but also many recent experiences.

Violation of the right to name, the right to reputation, the right to personal dignity, the right to personal privacy...

Any lawyer who has obtained a lawyer's license can find evidence from Arthur's novel that it violates Mr. Porter's rights and interests.

For Arthur, who is very short of money, even if he knows Harry's character, he must make sure that nothing goes wrong.

Except for Harry... There was one more person who gave Arthur a bit of a headache...

She's not much smarter than Harry, if she finds out that she is the real self in the novel...

Arthur didn't dare to think any further.

It's not about money, it's okay......

But for Arthur, who is in huge foreign debt, who talks to him about money is not a matter of hurting feelings.

It's about his life, it's really about life!

It's also the first time Arthur has used a spell to repair his glasses, but luckily Lady Luck isn't late today.

As he had expected, Harry's ill-fitting glasses began to heal as quickly as the spell took effect, as if they had just been made.

Harry suddenly felt his vision become clearer, and the incongruity he had felt from the cracks in his lenses disappeared.

"It's a restorative spell. A very useful spell. is a spell that seamlessly repairs most broken objects. Arthur, I didn't expect you to master the Restoration Charm before you even went to school. Terrible! ”

Cedric exclaimed from the bottom of his heart after watching Arthur's very standard spell casting moves.

"Thank you, you just said that it would be Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to write a novel in my name, right?"

Harry took off his new glasses and looked at them for a while, only to see that neither the new crack nor the previous wear and tear were gone.

He laughed happily, looked at Arthur gratefully, and voiced the question in his mind.

"Yes. Because you're a household name in the wizarding world, writing an adventure story about Hogwarts with you as the main character must be very popular. ”

Arthur reinserted his wand into the lining of the newborn wizard's robes, slowly but gracefully.

When making the little wizard's robe, Madame Morkin thoughtfully made several wand-placed interiors on the inner lining of the robe to meet the habits of different young wizards.

"Wow, you wrote the novel that made Lockhart and Professor Snape angry."

"It's amazing. Just because of this novel of yours, a very interesting thing happened in Diagon Alley. Hey~"

George and Fred burst into laughter when they heard Arthur admit that he had written Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

You describe the interesting things they saw in Diagon Alley.

The two had a great talk, but when Arthur asked Lockhart why he was arguing with Professor Snape, they looked at each other and could only say their guesses.

After listening to the explanations of the two, Arthur felt that these speculations were a little unreliable, and there were too many subjective speculations.

However, there was one thing that made Arthur very happy.

On the first day of his and Lockhart's new book sale, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone sold three more copies than Vacation with the Dominatrix.

Three copies, what a faint gap! The thief Lockhart must have been furious when he found out...

"That's... Arthur, did you bring your novel, I want to see it..."

Gildero, Snape, these Harry are not familiar.

But after hearing that the book about himself had become the number one seller of the day, he suddenly became interested in the book.

He wondered how he lived a strange and mysterious life as a first-year wizard in the fictional world of fiction.

"So many people like novels with me as the main character, so the story in the novel must be very exciting..."

Every young teenager has had countless fantasies.

Within a month of Harry learning that he was going to school at his uncle's house.

Whenever there was silence in the middle of the night, he lay alone in bed.

I have in my mind imagining what might happen to me at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry......
