Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 72 71. Misuse of Muggle Substances Division

The business of selling experimental equipment didn't last long, and Dudley had received news from Malfoy in the past week alone.

"Dudley, you've been reported for Muggle misuse."

It's interesting to say that there is a magical or boring institution in the Ministry of Magic, called the Department of Prohibiting the Misuse of Muggle Items. Many people will subconsciously think that this is an institution that prohibits wizards from using Muggle items.

Actually no, that's just a misunderstanding of the literal meaning, they are mainly responsible for dealing with wizards' indiscriminate magic on Muggle objects.

Some wizards will be idle, cast spells on items used by ordinary people, and then sell these items to ordinary people. This behavior will cause many ordinary people to be injured and seriously violates the International Federation of Wizards' secrecy laws.

Ron's father, Arthur Weasley, worked here, confiscating these enchanted things.

But such 'joyful wizards' are in the minority after all, and most of the time the 'Department of Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Items' is very idle.

"What? What should we do then? Brother D won't be punished, right?"

Hearing the news brought by Malfoy, Harry immediately stood up and said with a worried face.

Harry was more interested in Dudley's affairs than in his own.

Hermione put down the book in her hand and said calmly, "Don't worry, Harry. There's nothing wrong with it."

In fact, the Ministry of Magic does not prohibit any wizards from using Muggle items, but most wizards do not know how to use them and are unwilling to learn, so there are very few Muggle items in the wizarding world. These wizards will not attribute the reason to themselves, but It was subconsciously thinking that the Ministry of Magic banned the use of Muggle items and blamed the Ministry of Magic.

Over time, the custom of wizards subconsciously not using Muggle products has been formed. In fact, even if you use them, you will be stopped at most, and it is definitely not illegal.

As Hermione said, there was no problem.

"Yes, Miss Granger is right, nothing will happen to Brother D."

Malfoy said.

When Malfoy called Dudley Brother D, Harry's face flashed with displeasure, but his attention was quickly diverted.

The previous fight was quite useful, at least the relationship between the two of them didn't deteriorate any more, and of course there were still occasional spats.

"But maybe we can't continue to sell those experimental equipment."

Malfoy continued.

However, since someone reported it, the Ministry of Magic would still put on a show, but would not punish him. In addition, Dudley himself was just a young wizard, so he might not even have given a verbal warning.

"What? Why?!" Ron yelled.

Because of the sale of equipment, he made a small fortune, and he was still immersed in the state of 'I have made money, I don't know how to spend it'. He was planning to use the money to make something for his family and family members. Say no now.

You know, the previous Ron, not to mention Garen, would count as my loss if I could pull out a Sickle in my pocket.

"Who is so hateful?"

Ron said viciously that he had just experienced the joy of losing money, and it was gone before he started enjoying it.

"Who else, it must be a stupid Gryffindor."

Malfoy was almost talking through his nose: "Who else would be that boring but them."

The way a few people make money is almost pure profiteering. Naturally, some people will be jealous. No one in Slytherin dares to offend Dudley. Ravenclaw is not that boring. Hufflepuff can only be Gryffin too much.

It's just that Malfoy realized just after he finished speaking that there were a total of three Gryffindors present.

Harry didn't care whether it was a Gryffindor or a Gryffindor, he only knew that someone in this crappy college had punished his brother, but he didn't know who it was, so he could only sit aside angrily.

Hermione looked indifferent, as if she had nothing to do with her. She had always had a bad relationship with other little wizards in Gryffindor.

Only Ron looked a little embarrassed, he really regarded himself as a Gryffindor.

"It's okay, if you can't do it, then stop."

"I don't intend to do it often either."

Dudley really didn't plan to do it for a long time, this kind of business would most likely be a one-shot deal.

Muggle experimental equipment is not a rare commodity that is kept secret. Other Muggle wizards also have channels to get it. He just wants to reap a wave of quick money to pass this time.

Recently, the content of Snape's teaching has become more and more difficult and esoteric.

Even Dudley had to work hard, after all, the cost of materials was too great.

But I can not do this business, but not because of being reported. If I don't give it to you, you can't grab it. Write down this account first. Let's take our time. Anyway, there are still several years left.

By the way, I would like to add a digression, because almost all the little wizards have been replaced with experimental equipment. This result caused Snape to speed up the teaching progress. He finished the first-year course in two or three clicks, and now he has started to work on the second-year potions. Lesson content.

It is conceivable that the class he leads will definitely have the highest passing rate of the O.W.Ls exam Potions class.

rolled up.

For Dudley and Snape, this wave is WINWIN, that is, win-win.

When Dudley was reselling the experimental equipment, he actually had another project

Still in my old profession, writing novels.

Compared with ordinary people, wizards really have very few entertainment activities, except for a small number of poor board games (such as: wizard chess), and then there is Quidditch.

Otherwise, you can only read newspapers and read books, which is very boring in short.

There are no radio channels, no TV shows or even video games, which is why Quidditch matches are so popular, because that's all you have to watch.

Dudley intends to start here, as we all know that entertainment is the best way to make money.

The first step is to integrate into the circle of wizards and make a name for yourself.

Fiction is the easiest.

As far as Dudley knows, there is a wizard named Lockhart in the wizarding world. He is a well-known novelist in the wizarding world. How famous is he? Almost all adult witches in the wizarding world are his fans, and he himself is the holder of the Order of Merlin, Third Class.

Although this medal can be obtained in many special ways, such as donating a large sum of Galleons to the Ministry of Magic, it is still quite rare in general. Newt Scamander, a well-known magical zoologist in the wizarding world, is famous for "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". ", was awarded the Order of Merlin, Second Class.

For this novel, he tentatively decided on "Dragonlance Chronicle", and he has already taken the time to write a part of it.

All that remains is to find the right wizarding publishing house.

Let these wizards feel the shock of DND's worldview.

Since Dudley was going to stop, the others would naturally not say anything, after all, he was the one who got the things and the idea, and Ron and Malfoy were just doing some publicity and sales.

Malfoy himself is not short of money, and Ron is short of money, but he is an open-minded person and a person who is easily satisfied. The money in his pocket is enough for him to 'spend' for a long time.

Only Harry was still sitting on the chair and kept chanting, saying that he must find out the 'villain' who reported Dudley.
