Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Welcome back, Master Irwin, Master Harry!"

Kreacher, the house-elf in a clean apron, ran by with his slippers, and seemed to be staying there.

"Hello, Kreacher!" Harry whispered, "Thanks..."

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Ron's mother, Mrs. Weasley, came out of a door at the other end of the hall.

She walked towards them in three steps at a time, with a warm smile on her face.

"You're back, oh, Harry, how good to see you!" she whispered, pulling him into her arms, nearly crushing his ribs, before pushing him away One point, looked at him carefully.

"You look thinner and you need to eat more, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while for dinner."

She hugged Ivan again, and turned to the group of wizards behind them.

"He just arrived, and the meeting has already started," Mrs. Weasley urged in a low voice.

The wizards all made sounds of concern and excitement, and began to walk from Ivan and Harry towards the door that Mrs. Weasley had just come out of.

Harry was about to follow when Mrs Weasley pulled him back.

"No, Harry, only members of the Order of the Phoenix are allowed to attend the meeting." Mrs. Weasley said, lowering her voice, "You two go up, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny are all upstairs. Wait until the meeting When it's over, we'll eat."

Keep your voice down when speaking in the hall. Although Kreacher cleaned the whole house, he didn't take down the portrait of Sirius' mother. Mrs. Black's attitude towards everyone has not changed at all.

Once it wakes her up, it will be a terrible disaster.

"What the hell is going on here?" Harry whispered, walking up the stairs. "Who does Mrs. Weasley say that is?"

"Probably Dumbledore." Ivan replied, looking at Kreacher who was leading the way in front of them, "I heard from Fred and George that Snape had something important to report tonight, so he Will come here."

"Headmaster is here!" Harry opened his eyes wide, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable.

Dumbledore was here, but wouldn't see him, and he didn't understand why.

What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that Snape was there, and Snape actually came to Sirius' house.

He felt like a fool, kept in the dark by everyone.

Ivan didn't know what Harry was thinking, he said to the house elf in front of him, "Kreacher, where did you get the broomstick you gave me when I set off?"

"There is a broomroom on the top floor, Master Ivan, and there are all kinds of broomsticks in it." Kreacher said, making gestures with his hands, "All of them are left by previous family members, there are many."

"Then can you show me around?"

Aiwen kept thinking about this on the way back. Since he planned to produce flying broomsticks, he wanted to see the collection of broomsticks in the Black family in preparation for future research on new broom products. precise.

Chapter 852 Harry's Unhappiness and Moon Dreams

"Of course, Master Aiwen, the broomroom is on the top floor." Kreacher said.

Ivan seemed to be interested in that broomroom, and Harry didn't understand what was going on.

Although he also wanted to see it, the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became more and more obvious.

He didn't know how to vent this emotion, he was trapped in the Dursleys for a whole month, and others were using his godfather's house to fight Voldemort here, and refused to tell him anything, as if it had nothing to do with him nothing.

"Ewen, you haven't told me what a phoenix is..."

At this moment, the snake-head-shaped doorknob of the third bedroom on the second floor was turned quickly, and Hermione rushed out.

Ron followed him, and they both looked at Harry so excitedly that they nearly knocked him onto his back.

And Ron's little owl, Piglet, was also flying around and around their heads excitedly.

"Harry, you're here, we didn't hear you just now," said Hermione excitedly. "How are you? Is everything all right?"

"Not bad!" Harry whispered back, in fact he meant to say that he was very bad.

"Yeah, I guess you must be angry and can't tell you anything, but Dumbledore made us swear not to say anything, and he specifically asked Ron and me before the holiday." Hermione said quickly, " You don't know how worried I was when Ivan and I heard that you were attacked by a dementor in Egypt, for fear that you would be in an accident, and the thing about going to the Ministry of Magic for trial was really shameful, I After carefully checking the information, they can't fire you, absolutely can't, it's clearly stipulated in the law..."

"Okay, Hermione, let him take a breath." Ivan said, hugging Hermione to calm her down.

After knowing that Harry was going to the Ministry of Magic for trial, Hermione kept looking through a lot of thick legal books.

Hermione let go of Harry, still beaming, but before she could say anything else, she heard a soft whirring sound from inside the bedroom.

A white thing flew over from inside and landed lightly on Harry's shoulder.

"Hedwig!" Harry stroked the feathers of the snow-white owl.

Its mouth made a clicking sound, pecking gently at Harry's ear lovingly.

"It's been restless!" said Ron, also smiling at Harry. "It brought those letters you wrote about me, Alvin, and Hermione, and kept urging us to answer them. It almost sent us away." Peck to death, look at this..."

He held up the index finger of his right hand, which had a near-healed but clearly deep gash.

"I'm so sorry, but I wanted an answer, you know..." said Harry apologetically.

"We also want to give you an answer." Ron said, "But Dumbledore specifically asked us a few days ago to force us..."

"Swear not to tell me!" said Harry. "Yeah, Hermione already said that."

The cold feeling in his heart became more and more obvious. Harry looked at Ivan, Ron, and Hermione. Although he had longed to see them for a whole month, he now felt that he would rather the three of them go away and let him be alone. with.

There was a tense silence as Harry stroked Hedwig mechanically without looking at the three of them.

"Okay, let's not stand here. Kreacher is just going to take me to visit the broomroom of the Black family. There are many treasured broomsticks in it. Who of you wants to go?" Ivan said in a relaxed tone.

Because of the connection between Harry and Voldemort, Dumbledore made a decision that was in the best interest of the moment, keeping Harry safe while keeping him out of anything related to the Order of the Phoenix, not even letting him leave the Dursleys family.

He had thought of everything, and it was the right thing to do, but he ignored Harry's own feelings.

Or he thought of it and thought it didn't matter, which was Dumbledore's main problem.

The greatest white wizard in the world is not a saint, he has made many mistakes in his life and is still making new ones.

In his youth, he was a pure careerist, planning to conquer the magic world with Grindelwald and gain the strongest power.

When his sister died because of this, he repented and returned to Hogwarts to become a highly respected professor, insisted on fighting against black magic, treated every member of the wizarding world fairly, and eventually became the headmaster of Hogwarts .

In 1945, when the chaos caused by Grindelwald reached a fever pitch, he came forward under the expectations of the world, defeated the dark wizard Grindelwald, and successfully imprisoned this former friend at the highest level of Nurmengard Prison.

Later, until the rise of Voldemort, Dumbledore never did not have a greater interest in mind, but the method changed, instead of using violent methods like Grindelwald and Voldemort to change the magic world, but using more gentle means .

As Ivan judged before, Dumbledore is now a "strategist". He is not planning for worldly rights, but for a higher purpose that has always existed in his mind, even his own life. No hesitation.

Compared with these, Harry's emotions were indeed trivial matters.

"Let's all go and see the brooms that the Black family has collected," said Ron hastily.

Under the leadership of Kreacher, several people silently climbed up to the attic and came to the top of the old house.

The house elf opened a door, and Alvin walked in.

He originally thought that he was back in a storage room like a utility room, but it was not like this. There were many shelves on the wall, on which were placed broomsticks, and sealed in glass cabinets, all kinds of There are all kinds of models, like an exhibition.

Apparently, an ancestor of the Black family had a hobby of collecting broomsticks.

"My God, there are so many broomsticks." Ron said in surprise, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief, "I lived in this house for a month, but no one ever told me that there was such a room .”

Harry also forgot the unhappiness just now, and compared the pictures of brooms he saw in the books with the things in front of him one by one.

He came to a green broomstick and gently wiped the dust off it.

This is Dream of the Moon, the prototype of the Silver Arrow series.

This broom was a product of the expansion era at that time, and it had a leap forward qualitative breakthrough.

There was a time when these slimmer brooms with wooden handles were in high demand as Quidditch brooms.The main advantage of the Moon Dream over other brooms is that it can reach heights that previous brooms could not reach, and still manage at such heights with ease.

Quidditch players clamored for more Moondream brooms.

At that time, the flying broom was still in the production mode of the manual workshop, and the producers of Moon Dream were unable to meet the market demand. This led to the emergence of the Silver Arrow series, which became the true ancestor of the Quidditch broom and began mass production. The most successful business model in the wizarding world.

The hot sales of the Silver Arrow series finally led to the rapid rise of the Jukes family, which is also an individual broomstick manufacturer, and became a prominent wizard family for a while.

Chapter 853 Aiwen's broomstick production plan

The rise of a wizard family is not simple, and involves many interests beyond the imagination of the world.

The social composition of the magic world is actually very complicated, and it is not simply classified according to pure-blood wizards and ordinary wizards.

Like the Muggle world, pure-blood wizarding families are a bit like the outdated nobles of European countries.

They have only the glory of their ancestors to remember, but they have actually fallen and have little influence.

Right now in the magic world, it's those corporate chaebols who have a lot of Galleons.

The reason why the Malfoy family can influence the development of the magic world is not because their family is old enough and their blood is pure and noble enough, but because they have many industries under their name and control the economic lifeline of the British magic world. The Ministry of Magic and those in power dare not offend him .

Of course, the difference from the Muggle world is that there are magical powers in the wizarding world that go beyond the rules of the world.

If they become as powerful as Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Grindelwald, become great wizards, and form their own army, they can indeed break the balance and change the entire wizarding world. This is what they have been doing.

While Harry was carefully examining the Moon Dream, Ivan was also looking at the sweeping series of broomsticks on the wall.

From sweeping one star to seven stars, covering all products in the early and middle stages of the sweeping series.

This is a famous British broom brand, founded in 1926 by three brothers Bob, Bill and Barnaby Ollerton.

At the time, this broom made a new breakthrough in technology compared to previous broomsticks.

It greatly improves the safety performance, and can be assembled, the production speed is extremely fast, and the cost is also greatly reduced.

Since its launch, the sweeping series has driven its previous brooms into a dead end at an unimaginable speed. In less than a year, it has occupied the mainstream broom market in the world, including competition brooms, household brooms and entertainment brooms. .

The sweeping series of broomsticks became the main export product of the British magic world at that time, and the Silver Arrow broom brand was successfully acquired. It was the most glorious era in the British magic world.

A look at old newspapers from the time shows that almost one-third of all wizards in Britain work for Sweep.

It wasn't until the Comet Trading Company produced their first Comet 140 that the business myth of the sweeping series was shattered.

The founders of Comet Trading Company are Randolph Cage and Basil Horton, two players of the Falmouth Falcons in the United States.

The two Americans have developed a new spell "Shipping Charm" and applied for a patent for it.This spell means that the possibility of Quidditch players scoring outside the field or flying offside is greatly reduced, which increases the fun and fairness of Quidditch, and is an epoch-making spell in professional Quidditch games.

For this reason, the broomstick with the braking spell has become the designated product for competition brooms.

The sweeping series missed out on broomsticks and didn't re-enter until more than a decade later, but it was too late.

In the following decades, the Sweep series and the Comet series have been competing on the market.

The two companies launched improved broom models one after another, which became the mainstream of the entire wizarding world and set off the trend of flying brooms.

At the same time, other broom factories were popping up all over the world.

Various types of broomstick brands are dazzling. They have different performances and their own advantages. Even the magic circles in some small countries regard the broomstick industry as the hope of revitalizing the entire country's economy.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that the two broom brands launched by the French company, the Arrow and Speedy, have super elasticity and are loved by ordinary wizards. They are the first choice for entertainment brooms, but they have always lagged behind the same period in terms of speed. Sweep and Comet series.

There is also the Meteor developed by a Japanese company, which is said to be the cheapest broomstick in the world, and it is also very popular.

However, due to the saving of materials, the speed and lifting ability of this broomstick will decrease after a long time of use.

Therefore, the Meteor series has always been the first choice for entry-level, and cannot be loved by professionals.

In short, although there are hundreds of various broomstick brands all over the world, the broomsticks used in official competitions have always been the sweeping series and the comet series, which have never changed.

These two companies mastered the development trend of flying broomsticks. It was not until 1967 that the establishment of the Nimbus Racing Broom Company headquartered in Berlin, Germany changed this situation. They shocked the world and were considered a symbol of the rise of modern Germany. .

Truth be told, wizards have never seen a broom like the Nimbus 1000.

The no-nonsense German combines the safety of an old-fashioned Oak Arrow broom with the stability of a Comet and the ease of handling of the best Sweeps.

The Nimbus 1000 can reach a speed of one hundred miles per hour and can make sharp 360-degree turns anywhere in the air.

The Nimbus broom was immediately favored by all professional Quidditch teams, and then various models were launched, including the Nimbus 1001, Nimbus 1500, Nimbus 1700, and Nimbus 2000 series. They reproduced the glory of the sweeping series. Has always been the leader in the wizarding world.

But considering the current demand and popularity of broomsticks, the light wheel series is actually much more powerful than the sweeping series.

Since then, the brilliant sweeping series has completely declined, and only in the UK still occupies a certain market space.

But everyone knows that this is not the best broom, just as an alternative to the Comet series if you can't afford the Nimbus series.

The Comet series is stronger than the Sweeping series. They also occupy the largest market share in the household broom market, and insist on launching their own racing broom models every year, hoping to surpass Nimbus and become the overlord of the broom market.

After long-term persistence, they finally launched the Firebolt the year before last.

This is a so-called most perfect racing broomstick, representing the highest level of craftsmanship in the magic world.

Once the Firebolt appeared, it became the first choice that all Quidditch players dream of. Of course, the price is enough to scare people to death.

Except for the two teams in the Quidditch World Cup final and the Firebolt in Harry's hand, Ivan doesn't know who owns the broom.
