Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 738: Vinegar
Chapter 739 Vinegar
"God, it's a mess over there, haven't you caught the fugitive yet?"
Daisy put the steaming black tea in front of Herb, picked up the Daily Prophet on the table, flipped through the front page news, looked sideways at Albert, looked up and down, as if See if he's hurt.
"Just a little trouble."
"Small trouble? But here's..." Daisy raised her eyebrows slightly and read out a paragraph from the newspaper: "The Ministry of Magic has relaxed law and order, Blake is still at large, and the Dementors stationed near Hogwarts have not yet He was able to capture the fugitive Blake, but instead caused chaos at Hogsmeade Station due to 'routine business' and injured many returning students.
"I can't believe they let the Dementors **** the joy of the students!"
A client told reporters that the Ministry of Magic did not take the safety of Hogwarts students seriously, and the dementors' 'routine business' led to pushing and stamping incidents at the station.
Fortunately, a student stepped forward and summoned the Patronus to drive away the dementors, maintaining order on the platform in time.
"That Auror actually thought that the student who chased away the Dementors and kept order was obstructing the Ministry of Magic's business? Oh my God, does the Ministry of Magic mean by 'doing business' just watching students get hurt? "Another party complained to reporters.
"My kids were pushed over and trampled. It's unbelievable that the Ministry of Magic kept the dementors stationed near Hogwarts to keep the kids safe?" an emotional parent commented. dissatisfied.
"The brave young man who stood up to protect everyone deserves an award. If it wasn't for him, it might have caused more terrible chaos and more students would have been hurt."
"Dementors are very evil dark creatures and they should stay away from those kids," said one professional.
"The Ministry of Magic has never taken the safety of its students seriously. As early as a month ago, Dementors lost control once, and they trespassed on the Quidditch pitch at Hogwarts. Dumbledore was very annoyed by the fact that Harry Potter of the Ditch game fell off his broom and nearly died."
According to an unnamed student, Harry Potter fainted when the Dementors raided the Hogwarts Express on the first day of school, and there was a case of sucking the joy of the students.
Dementors are known to evoke the worst memories in people's memory, and Harry Potter's experience made him less resistant to dementors and vulnerable to dementors.
Daisy didn't read any further, and the entire report blamed the British Ministry of Magic.
"What is a dementor?" asked Nia, who was grooming Tom.
"A very evil dark creature that feeds on human happiness and sometimes **** human souls. It is the guard of the Azkaban Prison of the Ministry of Magic." Albert took out a piece of paper , outlined the appearance of dementors with a few simple strokes, and introduced this dangerous monster to his family: "Ordinary people cannot see dementors, but they can feel their existence. When dementors appear, The temperature around you will plummet, it will be difficult to feel happy emotions, and the worst memories of your life will come to your mind. Once the dementors appear in groups, a cold fog will form, and the plants will be destroyed by the cold. Wither. Right now, there's only a spell that's hard to master to keep those monsters away."
"You will!" Daisy looked at her son.
"Of course."
"So, the student in the newspaper who chased away the Dementors is actually you, right?" Herb raised his eyebrows slightly and asked. He vaguely guessed it when he was reading the newspaper.
"I drove away. I was also in the crowd at the time. When the Dementor appeared, it caused a commotion, and I almost fell over." Albert picked up the black tea, took a sip and said, " You should know how scary it is to have a stampede on a crowded platform."
"Thank you for calming them down."
Heb knows that this kind of thing is difficult to do, fear will spread, and once it spreads completely, it will be out of control, not to mention the surrounding dementors that can spread fear.
"How did you do it?"
"Use magic to shout loudly, it's like holding a loudspeaker in their ear, making them have to calm down." Albert said lightly.
"Will the Ministry of Magic trouble you?" Daisy is more worried about this issue, and this report can be said to have slapped the Ministry of Magic in the face.
"No, I know a lot of famous wizards, and they have won two world-class championship trophies for them. They are considered famous in the magic world. They dare not do that." Albert laughed Leo smiled and said: "What's more, my fists are harder than theirs, and most wizards' abilities are actually average."
"But you can't use magic!"
"Actually, I can use magic with my bare hands now."
"Really?" Nia blinked curiously, as if she wanted to let Albert turn her into magic.
"Look carefully."
Albert palmed his hand, and there was an extra gold coin between his fingers.
"Are you sure it's magic?" Nia complained, "It's just an ordinary magic trick."
"Although you can't use magic in the outside world until you are an adult~IndoMTL.com~, if you encounter an emergency, you can still use it." Albert put the gold coin back into his pocket, looked at Herb and asked: "How is it over there."
"It's quite prosperous over there. I visited some compatriots over there. Some people plan to return to China, and some people don't want to come back." Herb briefly described his trip to the East, "However, you It is true that many people are worried. However, more people seem to plan to raise house prices in order to make a profit, and it is said that many residents are optimistic about the prospect of a return.”
"Well, there will probably be signs next year, housing prices will rise significantly in 1995, and by the summer of 1997, housing prices should show a downward trend." Albert took out a notebook from his pocket and tore it from it. The next page was handed to Herb, "And those two cities are also good investment locations. Housing prices in the capital usually don't go down. There's no harm in buying early. However, I suggest you set up a company and find a local person to name it. You can give them a share, and then you can control them. Foreigners who deal with these things are easily hated. After all, they are only for making money, and there is no need to bear those infamy.”
Albert's practice is actually very common in some countries. Most of the companies are foreign-owned, and the management is done by local people.
"You are really talented in these areas." Daisy immediately noticed the benefits of this approach, and reputation is sometimes important.
