Chinese students at Hogwarts

Zhang Xiao took a donation slip and walked out briskly, regardless of the consulate staff's enthusiastic attempts to persuade him to stay.

The sunshine outside is just right, the breeze is gentle, with a little moistness from the sea breeze, and it feels like summer when it blows on your face.

Lifting up the donation certificate, the donation certificate was made of very good material and glowed in the sunlight, with the donation amount clearly marked on it - US$1.2 million.

Donor: Chinese

The United States steals money from China and spends it! Perfect - Zhang Xiao happily put the donation certificate away carefully.

1.2 million US dollars is already a very huge number in this era when China's per capita salary is only 350 yuan.

If you use it to buy a house, you can easily buy a residential building in Shanghai, and it must be in the best location.

Standing on the bustling street, my joyful mood gradually calmed down, and I felt a little confused for a moment.

What’s next?

Should we continue to perform street art performances?

Zhang Xiao pondered for a while, but he didn't want to continue. Although the street performance made money very quickly, so much cash was really eye-catching.

I'm not afraid, but this kind of thing is just disgusting and a waste of time.

But what would you do if you didn't perform on the street? According to Dumbledore, remuneration must be legal and compliant to be considered income.

You can't go to work part-time. A word jumped out from the depths of memory.

Chinatown!

Zhang Xiao's eyes lit up, yes, Chinatown!

I grew up in Chinatown. Although this is New York and not London, Chinese neighborhoods have extremely strong commonalities, and there must be what I want there.

Let’s go, Chinatown!

"Granger, have all the instruments been sterilized?"

"Of course, Dr. Bate."

"Oh - good!" Dr. Bate was a little surprised. He spread his hands and expressed his satisfaction to the nurse.

Bette never thought that she would find such a great nurse on a whim.

She is so experienced that she doesn’t look like a recent graduate. Even though she has a dental clinic at home, what about her daughter?

Not to mention doing a good job of setting up the table, I can't even recognize the equipment clearly.

Dr. Bate walked around the clinic twice, and for a moment he didn't know what to do. This little nurse named Granger made everything in order.

Even the cases and outpatient diaries that doctors hate the most are written neatly, without a single flaw.

Dr. Bate even doubts that his clinic can be selected as the "National Model Clinic" - if there is such an award in the United States.

We must keep this nurse!

Dr. Bate, who suddenly felt a sense of crisis, turned around and looked at Hermione, who was still writing the disinfection record carefully:

"Miss Granger, what is the remuneration we agreed on?"

"Ten dollars an hour, Dr. Bate."

"Now it's 20 US dollars! After you apply for a new certificate, if you are willing to stay, we can negotiate the specific salary."

A faint smile appeared on Hermione's face, and she quietly waved her fist under the table.

yes!

Hum hum, when we meet, I will definitely be the one with the most money!

Cedric had a faint blush on his face, and when he looked at his handsome face, the woman opposite couldn't help but smile sweetly:

"Ced, you can really try. How many people have realized their dreams through this road? Didn't you say you want to find a part-time job?

You can make a guest appearance first, I think you have great potential. "

Cedric said hesitantly:

"But - I have never acted before, and I'm afraid that I won't do well."

The female agent moved forward, and her thigh had already rubbed against Cedric's arm. The handsome Hufflepuff boy was startled and he hurriedly retracted his hand.

It’s too tender, but only handsome boys like this who haven’t been contaminated can have taste——

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you can't act. All you need to do is let your youthful and handsome face appear on the screen. The pay is very high. I'll give you 200 US dollars a day. What do you think?"

$200? Cedric's breathing quickened a little:

"What's the name of that movie?"

"In "Interview with the Vampire," believe me, you were born to play this kind of handsome, mysterious, and charming character. Yes, you have it in you."

The female agent came closer again, teasing and hinting: "Mysterious breath——"

In the Hogwarts Great Hall, Qiu Zhang silently grasped the wand and began to recall the curses he had learned in his mind.

Maybe it's the fate, maybe it's the will of God.

After Harry and Malfoy met each other around the corner, they met Ron dramatically on the street.

The "Three Idiots" of Hogwarts gather together again.

They just didn't say anything. The way the three of them looked at each other in silence almost made the audience laugh.

"So - Weasley why are you here?"

Malfoy's face was extremely complicated. He had been thinking about why he made such a big fool of himself in the second round.

When reviewing the case, Malfoy felt that he should be able to find some clues anyway.

But what I thought was abnormal at that time was repeatedly led astray by Harry and Ron.

It even made Malfoy wonder if the two of them had teamed up to play him.

In the end, it was Zhang Xiao who revealed the truth.

"Did you know Draco, why many people are obviously very smart but never win an argument?"

Malfoy felt that Zhang Xiao was like an ancient Greek sage when he said this, with a divine radiance on his face, no, it was the radiance of wisdom.

"Because they'll pull you into their world and beat you with their vast experience!"

A word awakens the dreamer, Chinese culture is profound and profound!

Malfoy deeply believed this, and secretly made up his mind that if there was a next time, he would shut up those two idiots and make all the decisions by himself!

"So, you just stood in front of a store called Pink Lady and wanted to go in to see what was inside, and you were warned?"

Ron nodded and complained: "I haven't seen anything yet, but I think it must be very profitable, because it says $88 for 90 minutes.

This is much better than working part-time. "

"$88 for 90 minutes??" Harry looked at Ron in surprise. As the only young wizard who knew something about Muggle society, this hourly wage was quite high.

"Stop it, Potter, Weasley!"

Malfoy waved his hand and said vigorously:

"You all listen to me this time, we have to learn a lesson!"

As soon as they mentioned this, Harry and Ron immediately lowered their heads and lost the courage to argue, because looking back, their actions at the time were indeed reckless.

"Then what exactly do we do?"

Harry asked, while desperately thinking about the part-time jobs he had heard about before, and coming up with ideas:

"We can go to the cafe and do odd jobs, maybe make $8 an hour! That's three of us."

He added in silence for a while, then said uncertainly:

"Twenty-four dollars! That's a lot of money!"

"Wow, 24 U.S. dollars? So much?" Ron said in amazement. In fact, he had no idea about the U.S. dollar. He just thought it was very powerful, so he asked enthusiastically:

"How many galleons is that equivalent to?"

How many galleons is that equivalent to? Harry frowned, not so sure.

"Less than 1 galleon -" Malfoy's voice came over. He glanced sideways at the two of them, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his somewhat pale face showed "Malfoy's exclusive little expression":

"Gringotts provides the exchange of pounds and galleons, but it is only one-way exchange of pounds for galleons, and 5 pounds is exchanged for one galleons. However, this is a special channel established to facilitate those students from Muggle families to purchase teaching supplies. .

Only the young wizards at Hogwarts have it, and the upper limit is 100 pounds. "

Malfoy spoke quickly, and not only Harry and Ron, but also the audience in the stands listened carefully.

"If you include the Muggle exchange rate, Gringotts is almost 10 dollars to one galleons, but that's not actually the case.

This exchange rate is only a continuous subsidy by the Hogwarts School Board, so the Hogwarts School Board invests a lot of money every year. You should have more respect for me, the future School Board, do you understand?

Weasley, Potter? "

"Ah, ah, your great school director."

Harry and Ron bowed to Malfoy with "sincere fear", their sinister looks almost made Malfoy's nose crooked with anger.

He glared at the two of them fiercely before continuing:

"But the actual exchange rate is definitely more than that, because Muggle money is basically useless to wizards, do you understand? But Galleons are useful to many people!

So actually"

Malfoy paused. He wanted to say it was from the black market, but when he thought it was a live broadcast, he stopped abruptly and said vaguely:

"In fact, some people need galleons, and they will exchange them at a ratio of 50-100, depending on the time.

So Potter, your plan to work part-time in the cafe is just stupid!

3 people can’t make 1 galleone an hour? "

Er Sha lowered his head in shame, but Ron was still a little unconvinced:

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Malfoy's eyes wandered around and he said softly:

"It is the simplest and most common way to make money with one's own strength. What we have to do is to earn added value beyond strength."

His eyes stopped and landed on a building that looked a little special, and a smile gradually appeared on his face:

"Like. This, guys, follow me!"

Lincoln Center Theater

Tory Doblin smoked anxiously, and the ashtray in front of him was filled with cigarette butts.

The thick smoke made the room feel like a fog.

Damn, why did this happen suddenly?

There was still half an hour until they were about to go on stage, but the three actors accidentally fell down one after another during the rehearsal, and luckily they all sprained their feet!

They are ballet dancers!

The Trocadero Ballet has been established for 20 years and is preparing to give everyone a grand performance.

If you mess up.

Tory Doblin couldn't help but shiver. He felt that his mouth was extremely dry and he firmly twisted the cigarette that he had only taken a few puffs into the ashtray.

I held my head in pain, what should I do?

His eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and he was licking the corners of his chapped mouth. His brain was spinning desperately, trying to find a way to solve the predicament at hand.

Postponing the show?

No - the program preview has been sent out and the audience is entering.

If the performance is postponed at this time, the reputation of the Trocadero Ballet will be ruined!

Relocating people from elsewhere?

No, New York is a big city, but almost all ballet dancers have a fixed troupe, and there are even fewer male ballet dancers.

I’ve already called other acquaintances, but they can’t come!

Oh, God!

Tori grabbed his hair and moaned in pain, please, give me a little help——!

“Bang bang bang”

The door to the room was knocked open, and his assistant rushed in with disheveled hair. Before he could speak, he was choked by the smoke in the room and coughed non-stop.

"Ahem, cough, cough, cough, cough, Tory, cough, cough, Mr. Tory, outside, outside."

He covered his mouth, coughed violently, and managed to say:

"There are three young guys outside - saw - cough cough cough cough - saw our notice and came to apply!"

Toli stood up suddenly and looked at him in disbelief. Someone was really coming?

Posting a notice is the last resort. What is the probability that three male ballet dancers will see the notice and be willing to apply within half an hour?

Infinitely close to zero!

But such a bizarre thing happened just like that!

Is it really God who is helping me?

Toli couldn't bear it any longer and rushed out of the room like the wind.

"Draco, what are we doing here? What job are we applying for?"

Harry and Ron looked guiltily at the magnificent Grand Theater, one of the two most famous theaters in New York.

The Lincoln Center Theater is of course magnificently decorated and extremely exquisite.

"Of course I'm looking for a job!"

Malfoy said confidently: "You also saw it, the notice said that we are urgently recruiting three dancers."

"But we can't dance!"

Ron and Harry said anxiously, they never imagined that Malfoy would actually bring them to apply for a job in the dance troupe!

"You don't understand!" Malfoy adjusted his collar, with a kind of 'sadness':

"If the two of you often go to watch singing and dancing performances, you will know that not everyone in a large dance group like this needs to have superb dancing skills.

It is enough to have a pair of outstanding dancers on the stage, and the rest is just to set them off. Only with the imperfect dance as a contrast can their dance be more perfect.

In the same way, this pair of dancers will attract most of the attention. During the whole performance, you will not even notice how the pair in the corner dances. "

He turned around and looked at the second idiot with an expression of "I don't understand what you are talking about, but it makes sense":

"So, we can do this part-time job!"

Tory rushed over in a hurry. He saw Malfoy standing at the front of the team at a glance, and his breathing immediately became rapid.

Because this young man exudes the aura of a 'strong dancer'.

Elegant, confident, tall and tall

"Hello, sir, I saw the notice, you are now——————"

Before Malfoy finished speaking, he heard Tory asking urgently:

"Can you dance?"

"Of course!" Malfoy puffed up his chest proudly: "No matter what it is, rumba, waltz, Latin."

"Great! You're hired!"
