New Hogwarts Professor

Chapter 245: Investment

"Werewolves basically don't want to get too involved in this war. It's not clear what the giants' attitude is, and the goblins tend to be in the dark wizard camp." Xia Ran muttered, "The dementors have long since surrendered to Voldemort, and the same is true for vampires. .”

"It seems that we are in a difficult situation."

Professor McGonagall said: "Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic and us have formed an alliance at this time. We are in the same camp and on the same line. If Fudge was still in power..."

She couldn't help but shudder as she spoke, clearly remembering all the obstacles and obstacles in the past year.

Cornelius Fudge's sentence was a welcome one.

"How about..." Sirius said, "We just take down Gringotts and drive out all the goblins!"

"No!" Xia Ran objected, "There are a lot of goblins in number, and goblins have territory in Gringotts and no other place. If the plan is implemented like this, the goblins will inevitably break out into uprising and riot collectively. This is really direct. Pushing them to the side of the dark wizards."

"It really doesn't have to be so extreme." Dumbledore also said.

Bill said: "I observed the situation in Gringotts. The goblins only have this tendency, but they are actually similar to werewolves. They don't want to get too involved in the war between black and white wizards. Anyway, they are just Gringotts." A territory, no matter who wins, their basic base will not change, and it is impossible to change, unless one party completely annihilates the goblin race!"

"It's just that the mysterious man's promise of freedom makes them more excited."

"It's not a matter of genocide," Dumbledore said, "but there is a record of the goblins really turning to the side of the dark wizards at the critical moment, so we must make plans in advance."

"I have asked many curse breakers in Gringotts unintentionally and unintentionally. Their attitude is consistent with that of the Ministry of Magic. They also agree with the ideas of our Order of the Phoenix. Almost no one is willing to join the dark wizards." Bill said with a smile. "So if the goblin rebellion really happens one day, they will first have to pass the level of our curse breakers."

Later, regarding the dark creature races in the magic world, a group of people discussed for a while and made various targeted measures.

If you don't think about winning, think about losing first.

"Kingsley, please explain these measures to Amelia and ask her for her opinion." Dumbledore finally said. Now the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic are allied. Although Dumbledore is the most powerful white wizard, they are on both sides. He is a leader-level figure, but he still does not want to steal the limelight from the Ministry of Magic. He hopes to have more communication with the Ministry of Magic and work together to fight against Voldemort and the dark wizards.

After the meeting, Xia Ran originally wanted to say a few words and give some advice to Mundungus, but she thought better of it.

In the original time and space, the reason why Harry was attacked by dementors during the summer vacation was because Fudge was still in power at the Ministry of Magic, and Umbridge privately ordered the dementors to attack Harry. Now that Fudge is in jail, Umbridge is doing the same. After being imprisoned in Azkaban Prison, all the dementors turned to Voldemort. According to Voldemort, Harry must deal with Harry's temper personally. How could there still be a situation where dementors attack Privet Drive?

Moreover, he secretly informed Harry that there was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and not only Mundungus, but also Mrs. Figg. Although she was a squib, she actually cared more about him than Mundungus.

"Xia Ran, what's the matter?" Mundungus noticed that Xia Ran was looking at her.

Xia Ran shook her head and replied: "Nothing."

"By the way, Sirius, I want to ask your opinion on something." Mrs. Weasley said, clearing her throat, "There are a few children who want to live here for a while during the summer vacation. They want to contribute to the Order of the Phoenix. Do your best when you have a job... Well, if you don't want to - they are really asking for trouble - I will just..."

"Welcome!" Sirius smiled, "I welcome you warmly! We just need someone to help clean this old house."

"They'll be happy," Mrs. Weasley said with a smile.

Sure enough, a few days later, Xia Ran came to the Black Mansion again. Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, and even Hermione were all here.

"Hello, Professor." Hermione explained with a smile, "I stayed at home with my parents for a week - sometimes when I came home during the summer vacation, I bought a lot of things in Hogsmeade. My parents were very happy. After seeing so many interesting things and snacks - I felt bored, so I went to the Burrow, and then we went to Grimmauld Place together."

"I wonder when Harry can come?" Ron said excitedly, "It feels like staying at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, it's different from being at home!"

Xia Ran smiled and said, "You will know how boring it is after a while."

"Bored? No, no! We feel very interesting!" George said.

"How are you doing with your prank product development?" Xia Ran asked.

Fred smiled and said: "Professor, do you want to buy some? We have a lot of orders. Inside and outside the school, wizards all write letters to order." Suddenly lowered his voice and said: "By the way, don't tell mom, she has been You don’t want us to do this kind of thing!”

"It's better, Dad, let us make our own decisions." George whispered.

Ron said depressedly: "You even charge your own brother for taking things away..."

"My dear brother," George said, "When doing business, the price must be clearly marked, so that it can last for a long time and be really prosperous, right?"

Ginny laughed.

"You are graduating soon, what are your plans then? Open a joke merchandise store in Diagon Alley?" Xia Ran asked again.

Fred and George looked at each other, scratched their heads, feeling distressed, and said, "We have this plan, but the location of Diagon Alley is too good, the rent is very high, we don't have that much money, and our mother is not willing to support us. , she just wants us to work in the Ministry of Magic."

"I'll invest you a thousand galleons." Xia Ran smiled, "It's enough for you to rent a store in Diagon Alley. It just so happens that people are panicking right now, and the rent will fall to a certain extent to varying degrees."

"Really?"

"Professor, you didn't lie to us, did you?!"

The twin brothers' eyes instantly lit up.

Ginny was surprised: "Professor, do you really want to invest in Fred and George?"

"I think you are talented - talented in pranks - and you are very good." Xia Ran smiled, "By the way, don't tell your mother, it doesn't matter if Mr. Weasley knows."

"Don't worry, professor, we won't say that we have it." The two brothers said together, with extremely excited expressions. Now that they have graduated, they will have the funds to open a store. They were still worried about this before.

A few days later, when Xia Ran came over again, he asked Bill to take out a bag of Galleons from Gringotts, and gave them all to Fred and George.

Bill was surprised when he saw it.

"Professor, you..."

"Bill, Professor Frémont here invests in our joke shop." Fred said, and he and George carried the bag upstairs.

"By the way, Bill, how are you and Fleur?" Xia Ran asked.

Bill blushed and smiled awkwardly: "She is already working at Gringotts. I am helping her with English lessons. She is studying very seriously."

Ginny snickered and said, "Bill has a crush on Fleur."
