Prior to their expulsion from the Board of Trustees, the Malfoys were the most powerful families on the Board of Trustees, and many of the Malfoys' estates were among the most taxed in the British wizarding community, such as the Ministry of Magic.

There are several seats on the Board of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and that's where Amosta is in the throat.

Once the battle starts, Hogwarts is a spiritual flag, and whether this flag can be erected depends on the opponent's will. Of course, Amosta trusted Dumbledore's judgment, and Voldemort, who had always been under the banner of restoring the glory of the pure-blood family, probably didn't have such a vision, but this is a life-and-death struggle, and this hidden danger must be eliminated no matter what.

"What's your solution, Amosta?"

Dumbledore knew very well that since Amosta had come to seek his support with this question tonight, he was definitely inferior to Amosta when it came to accumulating wealth compared to having already had an idea.

"Before we can get rid of the burden of the school board, Hogwarts must have its own estate--"

Amosta said lightly,

"Before returning to Hogwarts, I spoke with Remus, and I hope he can help investigate all the materials that are indispensable to the daily lives of ordinary people in the wizarding world, as well as the workshops and actual controllers behind the production of these materials."

"I understand your thoughts, Amosta, but you're counting on a product that no one else has seen in the short term to crush those mature products, oh, maybe you're going to use your reputation as a guarantee, but it's still going to be difficult--"

Dumbledore said with a frown.

In the face of Dumbledore's doubts, he hesitated, hesitating to reveal the whole plan and the plan, because if he did not get Dumbledore's support, then the exposed plan would be equivalent to a waste.

But soon, Amosta made a decision, and Dumbledore showed him sincerity, so he must also show his sincerity, and mutual trust is the prerequisite for working together to face the crisis.

"It's a complicated plan—"

Amosta said in a calm tone, and the coldness in his eyes made Dumbledore frown secretly.

First of all, our original goal was to free Hogwarts from external constraints, and for that we had to give Hogwarts its own property.

I asked Remus to investigate the producers behind some of the materials that are closely related to the lives of ordinary wizards, I don't know who they are, but it is foreseeable that in the end, it will definitely affect some families in the school board, I don't want to uproot these families, but there is an insurmountable premise, that is, not to be on Voldemort's side, if anyone violates this premise, then the family and the family estate must go bankrupt, and Hogwarts will immediately take over the market after they exit, To achieve the goal of establishing Hogwarts' own funding chain. ”

"Money Chain"

Dumbledore chewed on the word for a moment, and his voice became heavy,

"How do you make sure that, Amosta, I don't think anyone else will watch Hogwarts take the empty gains."

"We need the support of the Ministry of Magic--"

Amosta looked calm,

"We don't have the right to announce to the public that a particular family is involved in Voldemort's terrorist activities, only the Ministry of Magic has the right to explain to the public, and to seize all the property in the family's name and bankrupt it, and at the same time, to protect the admission of Hogwarts agents, by the way, I think Remus is very suitable as an agent, he has lived in poverty for so many years, and he should enjoy enjoying the taste of being rich-"

"Remus will be pleased with the arrangement you have made for him."

Dumbledore said calmly, not caring at all about Amosta's private arrangements for Remus. They were currently discussing how to win a war, a war that would stake everyone's lives and the future of British magic, which was for the greater good.

"But if you can count on your help to the Ministry of Magic on Greyback and Quidditch final night, it's probably unrealistic to get Cornelius to do his bidding—"

Dumbledore was astute in pointing out the problems in Amosta's plan.

"I understand, and I'm prepared—"

Amosta said simply, crisply.

Dumbledore's blue gaze fell on Amosta's calm face, his eyebrows furrowed, he understood what Amosta was preparing, and at the same time, he knew that Amosta had made up his mind to do so.

Seeing Dumbledore in the tantamount of acquiescence, Amosta breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he continued,

"The cooperation of the Ministry of Magic is crucial, Headmaster Dumbledore, as you must know, when Voldemort first encircled his supporters, he flaunted the banner of restoring the glory of the pure-blood family, and only after gaining power did he reveal his true nature.

This is another way to deal with Voldemort, whoever dares to support Voldemort will seal all his family's property, crazy dreams and family, can only choose one or the other, I would like to see how many of Voldemort's Death Eaters are unwavering supporters. ”

This approach is a double-edged sword, it will undoubtedly affect the work and life of ordinary people in the wizarding world, Hogwarts can take over, but it is impossible to take over completely, and some of them will definitely lose the jobs they rely on to survive, so unless they are forced to, Amosta will not go crazy to expand the impact area.

"What a wonderful plan, little one--"

A sleek voice suddenly sounded in the dull office, and Sirius's great-great-grandfather, Phineas Black, stroked his goatee and said with great appreciation,

"But I'm afraid there's a problem you didn't consider--"

Amosta turned his head and bowed politely to the portrait of Phineas, as if he were listening to the advice.

"According to the ancient contract between Hogwarts and the families in the school council, Hogwarts is not allowed to make gold for itself, and Hogwarts' unilateral declaration of the ban on the school board is also of no effect, unless Hogwarts can repay all the funds it has received for hundreds of years since the date of the contract, which is an unimaginably huge debt!"

Amosta frowned and looked at the old figure across the desk, while Dumbledore frowned and nodded at him.

Come to think of it, pure-blood wizard families are not stupid, how could they not keep the means to restrain Hogwarts?

There was a rhythmic crunch in the office, the sound of Amosta tapping his fingers on the armrests, and he leaned back in his chair and tilted his head, staring silently at the artistic reliefs on the office dome.

If such a contract exists. Hogwarts' unilateral declaration that the removal of the school board is not effective, which means that some of the actions and statements of the Hogwarts headmaster are restricted, and there is no way to repay the financial support that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has received for hundreds of years, then

After a moment, Amosta's eyebrows furrowed,

"I think the pure-blood families who signed this contract must have thought about what they should do if they wanted to get rid of Hogwarts."

"They can stop disbursing education money at any time, which means they're essentially out of their relationship with Hogwarts."

Phineas Black said happily.

"Oh, thanks, Headmaster Black--"

Amosta smiled equally happily, and he looked at Dumbledore's blue eyes and said briskly,

"That's who shoots first. The question of which of the two wizards to use the spell first, if Voldemort can't think of using the school board to stop allocating funds to force you to do it, Headmaster Dumbledore, we will send someone to remind him-"
