A Day as a Foodie at Hogwarts

"So, Yun He signed an agreement with Editor Joey in the ice cream shop?" Lucius narrowed his eyes and asked.

Draco nodded: "Yes, Father. He said a lot of strange things, as if they were about business agreements and the like. I don't quite understand. But it seems that Editor-in-Chief Joey is very happy to sign an agreement with Yunhe, He wants to serialize a novel in the Daily Prophet, and it costs ten kats a word!"

Draco told everything he saw in the ice cream shop, including how Yunhe bargained with him and so on.

Draco's tone was a bit exaggerated, because he had never thought about making money by writing.

Snape had already lost his temper with Lucius earlier. He told Lucius about Yun He living in his place and that Yun He was writing a novel.

At the same time, Draco's seemingly chance encounter with Yunhe in Diagon Alley was actually arranged by Snape.

Because the relationship between Lucius and Snape has always been very good. The two families are related, and Snape is Draco's godfather.

Although it sounds unpleasant to say, the Malfoy family has actually been funding Snape's various potion experiments.Because the Malfoy family's only two remaining properties are the Delphi Crucible Factory and the potion plantation in Nicaragua.

Snape is a bit paranoid. He likes to make potions, and his level of potion refining is extremely high. He is one of the top five potion masters in Europe.But this man was arrogant, and he never refused to sell the magic potion he refined.Nor does it accept other people's requests for customized potions.

Otherwise, Snape's success rate in refining [Elixir of Fortune] is actually quite good, and a successful bottle of [Elixir of Fortune] costs platinum galleons on the market, and it is still priceless.As long as [Elixir of Fortune] appears in the potion market, it will inevitably be bought by others.

As long as Snape refines five bottles of [Elixir of Fortune] a year, his financial income will be greatly improved.But this guy just won’t do it. Even if you kneel down and beg me, slap me in the face with tons of gold galleons, and shout that Professor Snape is the most handsome wizard in the world, I just won’t do it. !

Yes, Snape is such a twisted person.He can obviously be very rich, but his twisted character makes him rely on salary to live.

Developing new potions consumed a large amount of his income.If it weren't for the fact that the Malfoy family's potion plantation often provided him with free potions for him to experiment with, Snape would have gone bankrupt.

So it's not surprising that he has a good relationship with the Malfoy family. After all, they are still related.

Lucius said to Draco: "Is there anything else gained in Diagon Alley today?"

"Oh, I met Harry Potter! But he looked stupid and only knew how to eat chocolate ice cream."

"Harry Potter? Oh, it doesn't matter. No one will care about him in the future." Lucius had no interest in his son getting to know Harry.

"Okay, it's getting late. You have to go to bed early. Tomorrow morning, follow your mother to start previewing the school lessons. Your goal is to become the top student in your age group after entering Slytherin. And you must have a group of followers. This You need to show enough strength." Lucius patted Draco on the shoulder: "The Malfoy family will depend on you in the future."

Draco returned to his room to sleep, while his mother Narcissa came to Lucius's office.

"My dear, is it necessary? Let our children fawn over Dumbledore's children." Narcissa hugged her husband.

Lucius pinched her face: "It's necessary. Did you know that kid wrote a novel?"

"I just heard you chatting. Draco said that he has signed a contract with the Daily Prophet? Are the Daily Prophet's contract standards so low? Can even a novel written by an 11-year-old child be serialized?" Narcissa said with some disdain: "Even if Joey is trying to please Dumbledore, this is too much. Can he please Dumbledore like this?"

Lucius was also a little helpless that his wife had no political sense.

"My wife. Yunhe is writing a serious novel. And it's a novel of 300 million words. Do you think a child can really do this? You and I have seen many geniuses, and... Remember Max, the German prodigy who was regarded as a genius? Do you think he can do this?"

"Or is it that some other kid you've seen can write millions of words of logically coherent novels? I know Joey. Even if he wants to curry favor with Dumbledore, he won't do it to the detriment of the Daily Prophet. He did this at the expense of profit. Moreover, Yunhe also took the initiative to lower his bargaining chips in exchange for an increase in royalties. Do you really think this is something an 11-year-old can do?"

Narcissa understood a little bit after hearing this, and she said hesitantly: "Are you saying that Dumbledore was behind all this to help him make plans?"

Lucius nodded: "That's it for now."

"Why? Dumbledore shouldn't be so free to do these things."

"Why not? This is his only son! Dumbledore naturally has his own ideas if he is willing to do this. His son must bear a lot of pressure as Dumbledore's son. So he has to cultivate his own Child, just like we raised Draco," Lucius explained to his wife.

"He will do his best to make Yunhe the brightest new star among wizards of this generation. He can do this, and he has the strength to do so. Any parent will hope that his child will be outstanding, just like you and I hope that Draco will be better than We are better."

"So he paved the way for Yunhe to take. Yunhe has stayed away from the British magic circle for the past 11 years because of the Dark Lord. Now that he is back, Dumbledore must let him return in a brilliant way. And now All of this may be just the beginning.”

After Narcissa lay in her husband's arms and listened to this, she suddenly said: "If this is entirely Dumbledore's instruction, Joey has seen through it all, so he is willing to accept it by default." Praising his own child? Yes, in school he was a master at adapting to the changing circumstances, and he never dared to say no to Professor Dumbledore."

"But Lucius, what if Dumbledore didn't instruct all this? Didn't Joey lose money this time?"

Lucius smiled and patted his face: "No, if it wasn't Dumbledore's instruction, then Joey would have handled this matter more carefully. Think about it, an 11-year-old boy can write Publishing such a long novel proves that his logical ability is much better than that of many adults."

"At the same time, in business negotiations, he knows what to catch and what to let go, and he also knows about win-win cooperation. He does not want to take away high royalties and most of the profits from physical book publishing. And he also knows how to use " Wizards Today, the second largest newspaper in Europe, threatened him. He even knew how to bring out Dumbledore to suppress the situation when necessary."

"And do you think he really bumped into Harry when he went to the ice cream shop today?"

Narcissa was confused: "Isn't it?"

Lucius shook his head: 'Of course not, he went to observe his opponent.He is developing his own strategy.Although I don't know what he was thinking.But it's certainly not simple.What if this was all really conceived by an 11-year-old kid?Do you know what this means? '

"What does it mean?" Narcissa asked.

"It means that the shortest piece of the Dumbledore family's board has to be filled."

"The shortest board?"

"Politics!" Lucius's eyes were as sharp as a falcon: "The return of Dumbledore's son will definitely cause an uproar. You see, if tomorrow the Daily Prophet starts serializing Yunhe-Dumbledore's novel, and also spreads it widely If it's well received, the tide of British politics will start to change."

Narcissa has always trusted her husband, because her husband is a person with an extremely sensitive political sense.Jump from the Ministry of Magic to the Dark Lord, and from the Dark Lord back to the Ministry of Magic.Every time he stood up, he was successful, saving the Malfoy family's property and making the originally shaky family increasingly stable.

There are not many people in this world who have Malfoy's political sense, but they are not few either.Just an hour before the August [-]th edition of the Daily Prophet was released, most political figures and important pure-blood families across Europe learned the news one after another from various channels.

"Dumbledore's children have signed a novel serialization agreement with the Daily Prophet, and the novel is called "Hogwarts: Strange World"."

When the British Minister of Magic Fudge received this news, he broke three water glasses.

"Dumbledore! What do you want to do!"
