Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1073: No shortage of money
"Albert!"
A surprised voice echoed in the room along with the creaking of the door. Hermione stood at the entrance of the Room of Requirement with books in both hands, looking at the figure sitting on the sofa, her mouth slightly open.
"What's wrong?"
Albert turned his head to look at Hermione and asked in confusion.
"Nothing, I'm just...surprised you're still in school?" Hermione walked into the Room of Requirement with her book in hand, with Crookshanks at her feet.
"Everyone knows?"
Albert put down "The Quibbler" and turned his head to ask.
"Well, some people wonder if you left the school quietly, and some people think you're actually hiding in the Room of Requirement, after all, you always disappear after the weekend." Hermione held the pile in her arms. Putting the book on the table, he reached out and touched Tom's head, sat opposite Albert and said, "There are too many people in the library, I hope I didn't disturb you."
"No."
Albert waved his wand and conjured a cup of milk tea for Hermione out of thin air.
"Thank you." Hermione looked away from the milk tea cup and asked with big curious eyes, "Do you often sneak out to play?"
"The school's curriculum is almost done." Albert smiled and diverted the topic, "I'm waiting for graduation, so I can borrow the school's library by the way."
Hermione could actually guess what Albert was sneaking out to do, so it would only be embarrassing to not ask further.
Her eyes fell on The Quibbler on the table, a magazine that's been so popular lately, it's almost as famous at Hogwarts as The Defense Letters, and some say they're the ones who put the Defense The Express was transferred to The Quibbler, which successfully avoided the Ministry of Magic's ban.
"Rita Skeeter has changed a lot."
Hermione picked up "The Quibbler" and flipped through it, looking sideways at Albert who was feeding Crookshanks, and asked softly, "I'm more curious how you convince her?"
"It's actually very simple." Albert rubbed Crookshanks' head and said, "Also, it's better to keep your cat, and it's okay to leave it alone, but problems will inevitably arise over time. "
"Your Tom is overnourished." Hermione said to herself as she picked up Crookshanks and groomed her, "I asked Dobby earlier, and he said my stuff is for the family. The elf caused trouble. I honestly had a hard time for days."
"There are some ideas that you can't change in a moment." Albert looked at Tom, who was yawning lazily, and stroked his belly with a smile. "Otherwise, Tom would have succeeded in losing weight."
"I'm so lost right now!"
Hermione looked at Albert, who was playing with the cat, and expressed her doubts: "I don't know how to help them. I'm considering whether to join the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control in the future."
"Are you going to join the house-elf resettlement office?" Albert was a little surprised. His knowledge of the Ministry of Magic came from Bard's explanation. He knew most of the Ministry's departments and their work to ensure that It will come in handy when you need it later.
"The house-elves relocated the office?" Hermione was a little puzzled. She had never heard of this office, but according to Albert, it was undoubtedly related to the house-elves.
Hermione retrieved a stack of employment documents from the stack of books, and found no information on the house-elf relocation office.
"What is this office for?" Hermione asked.
"Literally, it's said to be boring." Albert looked at the confused Hermione and gave him some advice: "I suggest you climb up to the Director of the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control first, then you can Opportunity to codify some laws that are beneficial to house-elves. Of course, you can also work in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, which is the most important department in the entire Ministry of Magic. The Minister of Magic is usually the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Heaven becomes the Minister of Magic, and can also pass some magic in favor of the house-elves."
Hermione is a little numb, she feels that the Director of the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and the Minister of Magic are too far away from her.
"It is said that at the Ministry of Magic, it is difficult for Muggle wizards to achieve high positions," grumbled Hermione.
"There are such potential rules, but..."
"But what?" Hermione asked.
"However, it's not these things that you should worry about most." Albert said softly, "People change, especially when it comes to politics, it's a big dye vat, and it's easy for people to change. After being baptized by the wizarding world and the Ministry of Magic, you may not care so much about what is going on now,"
"Is this really going to be the case?" Hermione was puzzled, obviously not willing to believe it.
"Fudge is the best example, I remember saying it before." Albert whispered, "In order to hold the power of the Minister of Magic, he finally chose to discredit Dumbledore, otherwise you really think Fudge is an idiot? No? , he knew very well that the return of the mysterious man would make him lose his position as minister, so he took a fluke and postponed this matter for as long as he could, preferably until the end of his term. Throw a big burden to the next one."
"Fudge really screwed things up very badly." Hermione pondered what Albert had said.
"I can actually see this from Percy. He has changed a lot, and he has become more snobby. I heard that Percy is about to fall out with his girlfriend. Maybe he will do it for himself in the future. future, marry a powerful pure-blood witch as his wife." Albert said softly.
"So, you don't want to join the Ministry of Magic?" Hermione had heard many people say that if Albert entered the Ministry of Magic after graduation, he was expected to be the youngest Minister of Magic in history within ten years.
"Too tired." Albert shook his head and said, "Besides, I'm not really interested in power. Wouldn't it be better to do something I like? If I became Minister of Magic, I would probably lose all my money. Throw things to others, do it yourself, be lazy in the office, eat **** and die."
Actually, Albert did just that, throwing most things at Fred, George and Lee Jordan for training them. As long as the two sides have enough interests tied, there is no need to worry too much. With what Albert has in mind, it is actually very easy to really want to make money.
"You don't look like that, and I dare say no one in school works harder than you."
Hermione doesn't believe this kind of nonsense. In her eyes, Albert has always been the most diligent student in the entire Hogwarts. Maybe Albert is a genius, but his success is absolutely inseparable from him Effort and dedication.
In Hermione's memory, when she met Albert, most of them were reading, writing, or doing other things.
"You know, I hardly lie," said Albert.
"Almost not a lie? It would still lie." Hermione rolled her eyes, pretended not to hear, and asked another topic, "You know why Dumbledore didn't become Minister of Magic? If he Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as it is now if I became Minister of Magic."
"Dumbledore, he doesn't think he can stand the temptation, so it's best for him not to touch or hold power." Albert said softly, "I think he'd be good to be the headmaster. Okay, making sure the students have a great house life at Hogwarts and making Hogwarts another new home for the students is important to a lot of people and the Headmaster is clearly aware of that This."
"I don't even dare to join the Ministry of Magic after hearing you say that." Hermione threw the employment documents on the table and asked, "What do you plan to do after graduation?"
"I may occasionally write a book so that my knowledge can be preserved. Then it is to live a life that I like. Anyway, I have no shortage of money, and making myself happy is the most important thing." Albert didn't hesitate to think. road.
In fact, this is actually his life goal in his previous life. As for making money and gaining more knowledge and power, it's just because of need.
"It's surprising." Hermione seemed unable to believe her ears, "I thought you would..."
"Doing a career?" Albert asked with a smile.
"Or become an expert in a field." Hermione suspected that Albert was fooling herself.
"I should have counted it." Albert said with a smile, "Although I don't like the word expert very much."
"Well, you haven't said how to convince Rita Skeeter?" Hermione brought the topic back to life.
"I didn't persuade her, it was Galleon who persuaded her." Albert probably saw the confusion on Hermione's face, and explained with a smile, "I told Rita Skeeter that Fudge was in That position won't last long, and when he steps down, the Ministry of Magic will reshuffle the deck, and then it will be less hostile to Dumbledore, and even help Dumbledore get his reputation back."
"But what does this have to do with money?" Hermione was even more confused.
"Although these articles by Rita Skeeter will not earn Galleons for the time being, when Fudge steps down, in order to change their tone, the Daily Prophet will definitely buy the reposting rights of these articles, and then they will If she can get a lot of galleons, she can also get a lot of galleons out of it.”
"That's why Rita Skeeter published those articles on The Quibbler?" Hermione's sympathy for Rita Skeeter vanished in an instant.
Although Hermione also liked the recent articles in The Quibbler, which focused on why no one wants to listen to Albus Dumbledore, and no one wants to believe the truth.
...people all want things to turn out well, and are unwilling to face the harsh reality that may exist... Not many people are willing to believe Dumbledore's words until the lies are ruthlessly pulled out... But If the people who are willing to help them fall into their own hands~IndoMTL.com~ who can help them out of the predicament?
"It may be painful to burst at the beginning, but it is short-lived and the loss can be minimized. When the bubble of fantasy inflates and bursts itself, the cruel reality may completely crush people." Ai Burt said softly, "But sometimes people tend to choose the latter, which is realistic and helpless."
"What's so frustrating?"
Just then, Fred, George and Lee Jordan entered from outside.
"How is it."
"I've seen them all, and some of them are in good locations." Fred took out the photos from the paper bag and arranged them on the table. These photos were taken inside and outside the store.
"I talked to them and gave them an answer before the holiday." George raised his finger to the pile of photos and said, "There are some good locations here, and we've chosen these."
"The location of these two is the best, but the price is also the most expensive. If you want to buy it, you need to pay a lot of Galleons. I recommend renting first, and then see if you can buy it. This is also Bill's suggestion. ." Fred said to Albert with pictures of the two stores.
"If possible, it's best to do it once, and next time there will be no such good opportunity." Albert said, looking at the photo.
"Are you going to buy a storefront?" Hermione asked with wide eyes.
"Yes, what's the problem?" All four looked at Hermione suspiciously.
"No, I mean it's probably going to take a lot of Galleons," Hermione said weakly.
"It's not too much, and it's not a loss." Albert explained, "The price of the Diagon Alley store will definitely plummet, so I plan to present a few more stores."
Hermione finally understands what Albert means by not being short of money, really!
