Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 350 Ministry of Magic

 Overall, the gathering place in the Fire Dragon Sanctuary is pretty good, and it’s not as messy as Chris said.

 At least Kyle didn’t meet any strange people here.

 It’s just that those shopkeepers are all very wicked and always sell him stupid products that are expensive and impractical.

 Fortunately, Charlie is with us. As a "local" who has lived here for two years, he is already familiar with every store.

Most of the shopkeepers sighed angrily when they saw him following him. Instead of trying to sell Kyle the popular products they said, they moved out the real good stuff from the corner.

 In short, Kyle gained a lot from this trip and bought nearly three hundred galleons.

 At the end, Charlie was a little frightened when he looked at him again.

He knew that Kyle was rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich... He bought everything by the box, especially when he bought the accessories, he almost filled up the inventory in the store.

Even if there is a discount, you can't do it like this...more than three hundred Galleons, just spend it without blinking.

 Charlie also tried to persuade Kyle and told him to take it easy. Money is not wasted like this.

 But Kyle shook his head, "You don't understand, Charlie, this may not be enough."

If his box hadn't been borrowed by Newt to observe the Norwegian Ridgeback Norbert, and the space in the deformed lizard skin bag was limited, Kyle would have even wanted to buy another two hundred galleons to take back.

“Not enough?!” Charlie stared, “Do you have more than a hundred friends?”

“If you really want to count...it’s just a lot more.” Kyle thought for a while and said, “But I’m not doing this to give it away.

Many students at Hogwarts have never had the opportunity to come here, and they must have never seen such a great specialty. It’s a rare trip, so I bought it for them. "

 “Huh?” Charlie didn’t understand what he meant.

However, Kyle didn't explain much. Weasley is really not very smart in this regard.

"Anyway..." He put away the pile of packages and raised his head and said, "I may write to you again later. Then, I will have to trouble you to buy some things for me to send to Hogwarts."

"That's no problem." Charlie nodded and agreed without thinking, "But it may not be that timely. As you know, we only have two days off at most in a month."

 “That doesn’t matter.”

Kyle smiled and said: "Besides, I will pay you according to the original price, and you can keep the discounts given by the shopkeeper for yourself..."

 “How is this possible!”

Kyle was interrupted before he finished speaking.

 Charlie seemed to feel that he was being underestimated and said unhappily: "No matter how much you want, I will help you get a good discount. I still have this face."

"No..." Kyle explained: "I mean, those are your rewards."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Charlie was even more unhappy, "How can we talk about compensation for such a trivial matter? Who do you think I am!"

"That was not what I meant…"

 The two talked about it all the way, but they couldn't reach a consensus until they returned to the reserve.

No matter what Kyle said, Charlie said it was okay to help with shopping, but he would not ask for any reward anyway.

 It’s not that Charlie doesn’t understand what Kyle means.

It's nothing more than taking the specialties here to Hogwarts, adding some money and selling them to others.

 He understands everything, but he just doesn’t want to accept Kyle’s money.

Moreover, Charlie doesn’t think Kyle can sell much...after all, he’s not the first person to do this.

There is a shop like this in Diagon Alley, which specializes in specialties from well-known places. The last time he went home, he had seen Old John's handmade dragon's tooth necklace in it.

But the business there...how to put it, he has never seen more than two people inside...even on Christmas or before school starts when there are the most people.

They can't even open a store in Diagon Alley, let alone in Hogwarts. Those students only have a lot of money.

Charlie firmly believed that the ones he bought before would be enough for Kyle to use for several years.

 So as soon as he returned to the reserve, he patted Kyle on the shoulder and left without looking back.

At this point, Kyle could only smile helplessly.

 Forget it, let’s talk about it then.

 …

 In the last few days of August, those who had come to help began to leave the reserve one after another. Professor Locknear also left. Before leaving, he invited Kyle to visit Beauxbatons...either to transfer to another school or to have fun.

Kyle also readily agreed.

“When I finish sorting out the information on the new species, I will send you a copy.” After Professor Locknear finished speaking, he left through the portkey.

There is also Edward Lima. Before he left, he also said that he would send Kyle a new edition of "The Monster Book of Monsters".

 …

 Because Chris had to go through one more procedure and make the final handover with the Romanian Ministry of Magic, Kyle and Newt stayed here for another day to wait for him.

 The destination of the Portkey is set at the Ministry of Magic.

When they arrived, a haggard wizard walked over quickly.

“New arrivals register here and have their belongings checked...Oh, Chris, it’s you.”

"Arnold?" Chris looked at the person coming and asked doubtfully: "When were you transferred to the immigration office?"

 “Not a transfer.”

Arnold said: "I'm here to help."

 “Help?” Chris looked around.

There were indeed a lot of people, and there was a long queue in front of the registration office.

 “Are you here to help maintain order?”

"There's nothing we can do about it..." He sighed and said, "You know. Because of Sirius Black's matter, the investigation here has been very strict recently, and there has never been enough manpower."

 “Thank you for your hard work.” Chris said, getting ready to line up.

 “Oh…Chris, you don’t need to.”

Arnold pulled him, "The portkey shows that you came back from the Romanian Ministry of Magic. It's definitely impossible to have anything to do with that guy, right?"

"Of course." Chris nodded, "There were at least a dozen present."

"That's why I said it's not necessary." Arnold scratched a few words in a notebook and muttered in a low voice: "And Mr. Minister seems to have something important to ask you. I don't think he has the patience to wait for a few hours. At that time, I was the unlucky one."

 “The minister is looking for me?”

"Yeah, he came here half an hour ago." Arnold raised his head and looked at Kyle and Newt.

Chris said quickly: "This is Mr. Newt Scamander, and my son Kyle. We are here together."

"Oh, Mr. Scamander..." Arnold was a little surprised, but he didn't stop moving his hands and continued to write something in the notebook.

“Okay, there are three people in total, registration is completed!”

Soon, he closed the book and said: "Let's go quickly, don't keep our minister waiting."

 A few minutes later, Kyle was walking in the corridors of the Ministry of Magic with a confused look on his face.

He was just thinking about how to turn the box into Muggle mode, but he didn't expect it to be released so easily, without even going through the process?

“Arnold Peacegood, the memory writer, we’ve worked together a few times before.”

Chris explained: "And before we set off, the Romanian side should have contacted the Ministry of Magic in advance. In this case, there is generally no need to register again."

Then the three of them turned a corner and arrived at the splendid main hall of the Ministry of Magic.

 Due to different itineraries, the three of them separated after arriving here.

Chris was going to take the elevator to find Fudge, while Kyle and Newt walked through the crowd and came to two long rows of fireplace passages.

The Ministry of Magic, like Hogwarts, prohibits Apparition, so they decided to use Floo powder to go to the Leaky Cauldron and then go back from there.

 The main reason is that Kyle wants to go to Diagon Alley, and Newt just wants to find a place where he can apparate, and he can go anywhere.

 Because the Ministry of Magic has many visitors every day, even though there are more than a dozen fireplaces here, they are still not enough. People come out of them one after another, and as soon as the green flames inside are extinguished, they rise again.

After waiting for a few minutes, one of the fireplaces was finally free. Kyle quickly walked over and threw a handful of floo powder into it.

Kyle walked into the fireplace, and as the scene in front of him changed, he soon went from the lively Ministry of Magic to the equally lively Leaky Cauldron.

Thanks to book friend Hai Ziyuan for the tip.
