Chapter 458: True Purpose

"The name of the store can be talked about later-"

Remus debunked the topic and talked eloquently,

"As I said, we need a shop and workshop to mass-produce harmless joke products that can be approved by the Ministry of Magic, and my suggestion is to open a shop in Hogsmeade, which is the only pure wizard village in the whole of England, close to Hogwarts, and most importantly, the rent there is much cheaper than Diagon Alley, and the cost of hiring the villagers is lower than finding regular staff.

I'll be in charge of running the shop, and managing the workshop, and you're going to do it."

Remus dragged his accent,

"-- it's a good study at Hogwarts."

"Oh, what does that have to do with that?"

When it comes to reading well, the twins look resistant.

"Stores need to be constantly updated to keep things hot, and sooner or later, you'll find that your knowledge can't support the genius ideas that keep popping up in your smart heads, so--"

Remus looked at Fred and George gently,

"You have to enrich your brain as much as possible, and since I'm in charge of the production, you can make good use of that time."

This was not so unacceptable, and the twins nodded thoughtfully.

"And I have a suggestion--" Remus continued, after a moment's thought, "I suggest it's best to bring in Amosta as well." ”

"Professor Blaine?" Hermione, who had been frowning as she listened to the plan, shouted, "Why do you need him to join?" ”

"You want to take advantage of it. I mean, you want to use Amosta's relationship with the Ministry, right, Remus? ”

True to Sirius, he immediately understood Remus's intentions.

"That's true--"

Although he no longer teaches at Hogwarts, Remus is still willing to take this opportunity to teach the young wizards in the room a lesson.

"It's not that easy to do business, Fred and George, first of all, you have to be legally qualified, your products must be tested by the Ministry of Magic, and your competitors will not cause trouble for you.

In short, you can't do without the support of the Ministry of Magic, you are still underage, and you can't let Molly know about this matter for the time being, so you can't use Arthur's door, and Amosta's senior adviser in the Ministry of Magic, Wizengamot, is a wizard, and he himself has a good personal relationship with some high-ranking officials, including the Minister of Magic, if he is willing to escort our cause, then many problems will be solved. ”

After all, they were underage wizards, and the biggest wizards in the room, Fred and George, were also ignorant, but at least they knew that Professor Brian could help them solve a lot of trouble.

"Well, let's think about how to drag that gentleman into the water!"

George's right fist slammed into the palm of his left hand.

"I'll look for a chance to talk to Amosta, and if he's willing to get involved, then I'll be able to really prepare for the store."

"Joke shop in Hogsmeade"

Ron looked at Fred and George blankly, he felt like he was in a dream, obviously when they walked into the room just now, they were still planning to ease their relationship with their mother, how did it become like this now,

"You're going to steal business with Jokowi's joke shop."

"Ah, yes, that's a strong competitor!" Fred nodded, "But--"

"Sooner or later, we're going to beat him up!"

George added.

"That sounds interesting--"

Harry grinned, "If I wanted to invest in you too, would you be happy to accept it?" ”

"No, Harry—"

The voice of refusal did not come from Fred and George, but from Remus, who said very seriously,

"I know that Jaime and Lily have deposited a sum of gold for you at Gringotts, but that money is meant to ensure that you graduate from Hogwarts for now, and I don't want you to use that money for anything else until you reach adulthood."

"But Fred and George are also underage, but you're willing to help them!"

Harry said unconvinced.

"Hey, don't mess with our business, Harry!"

George was afraid that Remus would regret it, so he quickly rejected Harry's kindness, and after rolling his eyes, George looked at Remus with a shrewd smile,

"So, Remus, we're partners now, right, maybe, we should negotiate our respective shares, right?"

Sirius, along with Harry, Hermione, and Ron, were all kicked out of the room, as the twins believed that what was next discussed was a core trade secret that outsiders were not qualified to know.

"I'm going to tell Mom!"

In the hallway outside the door, Ron yelled angrily,

"Trade secret., oh, who's going to want to inquire about that, if I'm willing, I can get them to die right now."

Looking at an indignant Ron, Sirius smiled silently, and Harry sulked at Remus meddling in his use of his wealth.

"I suggest you don't do that, Ron--"

Remus told Fred and George not to sneak around at Hogwarts and spend more time building knowledge, which Hermione couldn't agree with, but she still felt that Remus shouldn't pull Fred and George, who were still students, into the business.

Even though she knew that Ron was angry, Hermione gave a sensible warning,

"Unless, you want to be a complete enemy with Fred and George, are you willing to see that happen?"

Harry and Ron went outside to play Quidditch in the open field, the best way to get them in a better mood, while Hermione returned to Ginny's room, close to the start of school, and it was her tradition to memorize all the next year's textbooks.

Sirius sat in the courtyard, looking at Harry as he was smiling brightly over the hillside, until Remus walked into the courtyard through the back door.

"How's the conversation, those two little ones aren't fuel-efficient lamps."

"It's not easy—"

Remus sighed, his face not showing much joy, and he looked at Harry not far away, just like Sirius.

"Are you planning something, Remus?"

A crisp breeze swept across Remus's cheeks, revealing some of the wrinkles he had hidden under his bangs, and perhaps he looked a little tired from a difficult negotiation.

Coldly, Sirius suddenly asked.

"Like I said, Sirius--"

Remus didn't seem to be surprised by Sirius's problem at all, his gaze never took off Harry, and his voice was a little vicissitudes,

"Fred and George's talent for joke products is just as good as Harry's talent for Quidditch, and I deserve my help, and it just so happens that I need a paying job."

"What else?"

Sirius asked earnestly with a crooked face at Remus.

"We all have that hunch, Sirius—"

After a brief silence, Remus responded to his friend's gaze,

"Voldemort is coming back, and the first thing he will do when he comes back is to deal with Harry. Of course, Hogwarts has Albus and Amosta, and I'm sure they can protect Harry, but I have to do what I can, don't I, I stay in Hogsmeade and hear the wind at all times, which can help Albus a little bit, and if something unexpected happens, I can get to Harry immediately.

Lily and Jaime, they gave their lives for Harry, and you made sacrifices, Sirius, I can't do nothing, can I? ”

"You don't have to bear any less, Remus—"

Sirius pursed her lips.

At that time, Hogwarts was full of spirit and beauty, one died as a hero, one died as a traitor, one was imprisoned in Azkaban for twelve years, and the last one struggled to survive in the wizarding world.

"I can go and help you, Remus--"

After a little melancholy, Sirius smiled and said,

"Those two little ones still have to go to school, and if you work with them, you will have a lot to worry about, I can show you the shop or manage the workshop."

"These jobs aren't for you, Sirius."

Remus laughed,

"These things are too boring for you, and if you want to find something to do and take care of your godfather responsibilities, I suggest you consult Abu. Amosta, he'll have an idea. ”
