The Soul of Hogwarts Across Worlds

Chapter 22 Back to School
The mice who were forcefully gulped a few mouthfuls of potion by Melda did not show any adverse reactions.

Judging from the appearance alone, there is no other change except that the outline of their limb muscles is a little clearer.

"Is it really useful?"

Melda was very honest and didn't reap the lives of those mice, but threw them back into the corner.

Because it might be useful someday.

Then he lightly lifted the cup and carefully looked at the potion inside.

"It smells nothing."

"It looks okay, it doesn't look like poison."

"Would you like to try it?"

Melda, holding the cup, lowered her head.The tip of his tongue quickly dipped some potion.

"Well, it's sour. There seems to be no reaction." Immediately afterwards, he opened his small mouth again and took a small sip.

"Huh?" As the potion passed through her throat, a hot current gradually rose from Melda's abdomen and quickly spread to her whole body.

This time Melda was sure that he really succeeded, because a sentence clearly appeared on the system panel in his mind.

[Elementary physique enhancer (pseudo), 2 hours. 】

"Elementary physique enhancer?" Melda asked in confusion.Is it because I adjusted the prescription myself that it changed its effect?

Fortunately, his health has indeed improved a lot, and Melda didn't worry about it too much.

Too many things happened today, and now she can finally relax, Melda only felt a wave of exhaustion.He simply lay down on the sofa in the alchemy workshop and fell into a deep sleep.

------

Early the next morning, Melda used the family statue to return to the British mansion.

However, how to get to Hogwarts was difficult for him. The Floo network in the headmaster's office was single-line, which meant that Melda could not directly use the Floo network to return to Hogwarts.

But when he was distressed, a knock on the door interrupted his meditation.

It's Professor Dumbledore.

The moment Melda opened the door, she clearly felt the difference in Dumbledore's eyes.

He must have seen something, Melda guessed.

Facing the most powerful white wizard in the world, Melda obviously became restrained.

But the professor didn't say much, he just took Melda to the Ministry of Magic calmly.Then returned to Hogwarts from the Ministry of Magic's exclusive Floo network.

He didn't ask any questions along the way.

This made Melda's doubts even more exuberant.

------

"Okay, Melda, I think you should go to class now." Dumbledore said softly: "Oh, I think you should be in a hurry. Professor McGonagall's transformation class is about to start in 5 minutes .”

After finishing speaking, Dumbledore left on his own, leaving Melda with question marks all over his head.

"Does the professor know something?"

After learning that her ancestor was also a time traveler, Melda knew that this world must be completely different from the Harry Potter world in her memory.

Perhaps the magic in this world is definitely stronger than that in the original book.After all, the magic of the two worlds collided with each other, and there was no reason why it wouldn't become stronger.

And as the strongest white wizard in the world today, Albus Dumbledore.His strength is definitely stronger than in the original book, and he may even know some secrets about the Estes family.

Melda frowned and thought hard for the whole class, he didn't even notice the sound of Professor McGonagall's dismissal.

Near noon, a kind of little wizard sat chattering in the auditorium talking about what he had seen and heard for the past few days, which brought Melda back to his senses.

"Hey, Melda, what are you thinking?" Ron asked first.

"I see you've been frowning all morning. What's the matter? Has something happened at home?"

In the past few days when Melda left school, Professor McGonagall informed the professors of various subjects on the grounds of an accident in his family. It is no wonder that Ron would ask this question.

"No, what can happen to my family, you forgot that I am the only one in my family." Melda said vaguely while biting a three-finger-wide sausage.

He really wanted something to happen at home, but how could something happen to no one?

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ron said guiltily.With a happy family, it is hard for him to imagine what would happen if he was left alone one day, all he can do is say sorry.

"But Professor McGonagall said." Hermione glared at Ron, signaling him to shut up quickly.

"It's nothing, it's just about family property." Melda, who really couldn't find an excuse, had to make up a random reason to prevaricate.

"Property?" Speaking of this, Harry immediately thought of the history of the Potter family that Melda had explained to him.

He immediately asked curiously: "Is the Corris family rich?"

"Rich?" Melda was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he didn't know how much wealth his family had.

"The Corris family is the descendant of the Estes family, and it is also a new family that inherits the greatest legacy of the Estes family." Melda explained after a long time, somewhat confused.

"How rich is the Estes family? Actually, I don't know. Because there are too many, no one has ever counted them."

"All I know is that because of the family's busy business, the Estes family has commercial locations in countries on every continent in the world."

"For example, the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union (it was the end of September 1991, and the Soviet Union had not yet disintegrated.) South Africa, the United States, Mexico, India, Japan, and other countries all have commercial locations of the Estes family."

"The commerce and trade involved are even more intricate. Almost any form of business is included, and there are even many cooperations with other people or families that started hundreds of years ago. So I don't know how much money my family has."

Melda's calm Chen Shu successfully aroused the eyes of the friends present.They didn't expect this guy to be so rich.

It also aroused strong dissatisfaction from the two impoverished people, Ron and Hermione.

Leaving aside the reasons that everyone knows about Ron's family, the reason for Hermione's extreme poverty is directly related to the fact that she was born in a Muggle family.

If it were in the Muggle world, Hermione's father, who was a dentist by profession, would still earn a considerable income.Although it can't be called rich.But also middle class.

But in the magical world that's quite a different story.The British pound was exchanged for gold Galleons, which was funded by Hogwarts as an endorsement.There is a limit to the number of Galleons that each Muggle-born wizard can exchange for.

And Hermione's tight life is due to the decrease in Hogwarts capital injection in recent years.Correspondingly, the number of Galleons that each Muggle-born wizard can exchange is naturally decreasing.

What Melda didn't expect was that Ms. Hermione Granger, who was the Minister of Magic at the time, made it clear in a special interview with the Daily Prophet many years later.My own idea of ​​rebuilding the multilateral trade agreements between Britain and other countries, thereby suppressing the monopoly position of pure-blood families in commerce, started from a conversation with Melda when I was in school.
