Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 510: Mysterious…
Today, Kathleen has been sitting on the dresser since she woke up. She swears she's never taken care of her looks so carefully.
Even at the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I've never been so diligent.
About half a month ago, Nicholas told Kathleen that a British guest would come to visit him in the United States. As Nicholas's heir, she needed to meet him.
Yes, heirs.
Nicholas is rich, even more rich than the rest of the entire family put together, and it is odd that his relatives, friends, and even his family don't know he is rich.
All they know is that Nicholas is a lonely alchemist.
In the American wizarding world, alchemists are not a popular profession. The threshold for alchemy is very high, and alchemy experiments are regarded as money-burning experiments by most wizards, ranking first alongside potion experiments.
Furthermore, the U.S. Ministry of Magic has very strict monitoring of wizards, and it is hard to say if any research results can be used.
So, alchemists in America are very rare, and most of them are poor.
But, Nicholas is rich.
One day, while Kathleen was spending the summer on Nicholas's farm, Nicholas asked her if she wanted to be his heir.
When it was, Kathleen hesitated.
Catherine is a genius with a bright future, and while he also loves alchemy, she won't bet on her future.
She never forgot that Nicholas seemed to see through her thoughts and told herself that as long as he became his heir, he would not be short of Zhuo pot again in this life, and he could spend a lot of time on alchemy in the future.
In the end, Catherine made an unbreakable vow with her grandfather, and it was on that day that she learned how rich her grandfather really was.
As the only wizard in the Americas who sells Floo powder, this exclusive business requires half of the profits, and Nicholas owns the rest.
Not long ago, Kathleen, who graduated from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, received Nicholas' first gift, a house.
If Nicholas passes away one day in the future, he will inherit most of Nicholas' estate.
Honestly, nobody hates this job.
In America, most wizards are actually very realistic, they like to look like drowning pots, and they usually scramble to get into the U.S. Ministry of Magic with a well-paying job.
Catherine actually doesn't like that place. If she enters the Ministry of Magic, her only advantage is a good-looking transcript. The starting point is not even as good as those of the students who are somewhat related, so it will not help her future much.
So, Kathleen quickly fell in love with the job, and she will have enough Zhuo Guo to support her dreams and use her talents, instead of meddling at the desk.
His father, and even his family, didn't get the honor, not only because they didn't have the talent, but because they didn't want to work on it.
Being the spokesperson for American Floo fans requires absolute secrecy, and no one knows anything about it except the heirs or assistants.
Catherine remembers a big event in the wizarding world when she was very young.
The U.S. Ministry of Magic once tried to figure out who was selling Floo powder, and even took a house-elf from the Floo Bang company and tried to knock something out of its mouth.
As a result, the house-elf died.
The wizard who killed the house-elf disappeared shortly after.
Everyone thinks it was Floo Bang's company that killed the wizard, but they don't have any proof, not even proof.
Because no one knows who is making or providing Floo powder, the loyal house-elves can't even pry it out.
The wizards, misled by the New York Ghost, rushed into the Floo Bang company to find that there was no one there.
Yes, the Floo Bang company on Wizard Row in New York has closed its doors and **** it up.
It also stopped supplying Floo powder to the United States.
After the Floo powder was out of stock, there was no more Floo powder on the market, and the wizards were dumbfounded.
This is a big deal.
The U.S. Ministry of Magic had to import Floo powder from abroad, but the price was too high for many wizards to afford.
The good deeds done by the U.S. Ministry of Magic were found out, and everyone naturally understood what was going on. It turned out that you wanted to spy on other people's wealth.
So everyone is scolding the Ministry of Magic.
Finally, the US Ministry of Magic bowed its head.
However, an apology is useless.
The Floobang Company disappeared out of thin air, as if it never existed.
The entire US Ministry of Magic is furious about this, but there is nothing they can do.
Later, the president of the Magical Congress of the United States resigned and immediately stepped down, and several officials of the Ministry of Magic involved in this matter were also sacked.
In the ensuing years, however, Floo powder was no longer available in the United States, and the Ministry of Magic had to spend a fortune to source it from abroad.
At this point, the Ministry of Magic all over the world knows that this extremely secretive Floo Bang company is not easy to mess with.
It's a big deal for this company, I won't do your business anymore. If you have the ability, you can go to other countries to buy Floo powder!
A few years later, everyone suddenly discovered that the Floo Bang company quietly reopened in Wizard Row.
There is no doubt that this is Nicholas' revenge against the US Ministry of Magic.
The Floo Bang Corporation is mysterious and powerful.
This was Kathleen's first impression upon hearing about it.
Catherine is even more curious about the Wild Smith family, the owners of the Floobang Company.
According to Grandpa Nicholas' description~IndoMTL.com~, he only met the then-Wilder Smith heir a few decades ago when he officially became the heir.
After he chose Kathleen as his heir, he naturally needed to meet again with the new heir to the Wildsmith family to continue this ancient contract.
Nicholas doesn't know much about the Wildsmith family. I only know that this family is very wealthy and attaches great importance to knowledge. Every family member is a genius, but they are not direct blood relatives. Instead, they are selected and all have the blood of the Wild Smith family.
On top of that, almost no one knows who they are, just like no one knows who Grandpa Nicholas is.
In Kathleen's words, a mysterious, rich, and talented family of everyone.
Although it may seem a bit absurd to her, such an odd family has been going on for over seven hundred years and has kept it prosperous.
Honestly, Kathleen really wanted to meet the legendary Wild Smith and see if he really was a genius.
She gets dressed and goes to meet his grandfather Nicholas.
"Are we going to the Ministry of Magic like this?" Kathleen asked suspiciously.
"They'll use the international floo network over there in France." Nicholas reached for his granddaughter's arm and Apparated near the Woolworth Building with her.
"It should be almost time!" Nicholas took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, and took his granddaughter directly to the waiting room of the International Floo Network.
During this period, Kathleen's beauty attracted the attention of many men, and there was an endless stream of people who came to greet her, including her suitors.
