The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

"Shut up, both of you! If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

Mrs. Weasley was the first to react. After scolding George and Fred, she smiled at Link and said, "Don't take their words to heart. They always talk so freely, but in fact they don't have much malice." ."

"Of course, George and Fred and I are old friends, and I know their characters very well.

But I must explain, Mrs. Weasley, the treats you make are delicious.The reason I didn't eat was not because I didn't like it, but because we had just finished a long lunch with my mother.

As mothers, they are always worried that their children will not have enough to eat, so they make a lot of delicious food and stuff it into their mouths, so we really can’t eat it now. "

To be honest, Mrs. Weasley did feel that Link and Emily might not like the homemade snacks she made at first, but she suddenly realized it after listening to Link's explanation.

As both a mother, she really understands the situation that Link and Emily encounter.

After exchanging some pleasantries with Mrs. Weasley, Link turned his 'kind' eyes to George and Fred.

Through the passive Legilimency spell, he could easily sense the faint malice emanating from the two twin brothers.

Although he didn't know where this malice came from, Link had never been an arrogant person.

"George and Fred will graduate soon, right? I wonder what they have in mind about their future employment?"

Link said to Mrs. Weasley with a smile.

Hearing this, Mrs. Weasley's face looked a little embarrassed.

Their family's situation did not allow them to arrange a good way out for their children, so all the children, including their eldest son, had to fend for themselves after graduation, and from time to time they had to give some money to their families.

Link asking her this question was basically asking in vain.

Perhaps seeing Mrs. Weasley's embarrassment, or for some other reason, George and Fred squeezed over and said:

"We're going to open a magic wand shop after graduation!"

"That's right! We have saved a small amount of business capital for this, and we will definitely succeed!"

Hearing this, Link nodded.

This is basically consistent with the direction of the original work. If nothing else happens, George and Fred will rely on the whimsical props they invented to develop the Wizarding Wheezes into the most popular prank shop in Diagon Alley, and finally even He also opened a branch in Hogsmeade Village.

Of course, Link estimated that the success of their store was most likely due to the fall in housing prices caused by Voldemort's second rise, as well as the blessings of the war hero's halo.

Otherwise, these two guys with no background would not be able to defeat other players with just a few gold galleons.

After thinking for a moment, Link smiled and said to Mrs. Weasley:

"This can be regarded as a way out, but as you know, our Foley family makes a living from commerce and trade, so I also have some understanding in this regard.

According to my opinion, the market for young wizards in the country of Yu is actually not that big, after all, the population is sparse.In such a small market, Zuko's Joke Shop in Hogsmeade Village and the Jumping Magic Joke Shop in Diagon Alley have basically been exhausted.In other words, the current market for magic jokes and pranks in the country is approaching saturation.

I don't deny that George and Fred are indeed geniuses. The various magic fireworks and props they create are very interesting.

But this is really not enough in front of the authorized items accumulated by the above two stores for decades or hundreds of years.

So what I want to say is that opening a store may not be a good choice. "

As soon as these words came out, the entire living room fell into silence.

Sirius stopped talking. This guy who had been imprisoned for more than ten years couldn't understand what Link was saying at all, and was in a daze with an unclear expression on his face.

Harry and Ron also had similar expressions.

Hermione looked at Link with bright eyes - unlike those wizards who had no common sense, she had a little understanding of basic business. With her knowledge, she felt that what Link said was very reasonable, and even made her She was very inspiring.

George and Fred's faces turned pale, and their mouths kept opening and closing as if they wanted to refute, but they couldn't make any sense.

As for Mrs. Weasley, after the initial shock, she said to Link in a panic:

"Then...what should we do?"

The corners of Link's mouth rose, this was the sentence he had been waiting for!

"You don't need to be too anxious, Mrs. Weasley." Link smiled, "George and Fred are both good friends of mine. Maybe I can recommend them to work in the pharmaceutical factory run by my grandfather in Germany.

By the way, how were their results in Potions? "

As soon as Link finished speaking, Snape on the side sneered.

Link understood instantly.

George and Fred, two standard Gryffindors, were both staunch opponents of Snape Road, and their grades in Potions were very high.

Link even suspected that they had not even participated in Snape's advanced courses.

Mrs. Weasley looked a little ugly and said with the last glimmer of hope:

"Well, Link, George and Fred actually have some ability in potions. For example, they created one earlier. What is it called? Quick-acting candy?"

"Quick-acting skipping candy! That's a great invention. It can make people sick or have nosebleeds quickly, so the user can skip classes!"

Ron said excitedly to Mrs. Weasley, he felt that he was helping his two brothers find jobs.

It's a pity that both George and Fred were about to explode at this time.

You have to know that Snape, the Hogwarts professor, is still here. If the other party knows about the quick-acting skipping candy, how can they sell it in the future?

As expected, Snape showed an expression of sudden realization when he heard this, making George and Fred look defeated.

"I have heard that it is indeed a very useful invention." Link said with a smile, "In this case, George and Fred may be able to work as pharmacists in pharmaceutical factories after graduation. Don't worry, Mrs. Weasley , they are my friends, my grandpa will not ask them for a new potion certificate."

"You don't have to worry about remuneration. The average weekly salary in that pharmaceutical factory is 100 gold galleons, and the salary and position will increase year by year based on the number of years of service. Although George and Fred may not get so much money when they first join, People will be a little tired, but the upward path is still clear. Whether it is a transitional job or a long-term development goal, it is a good platform."

Emily obviously understood what Link was thinking, and smiled and added to Link's behalf.

"Really? That's great! I really don't know how to thank you all!"

Weasley said cheerfully.

She was really happy for George and Fred.

But the expressions of George and Fred at this moment were uglier than those of a dead horse.

They knew very well what kind of people Link and Emily were. These two vicious guys would not be so kind.

George and Fred protested in unison:

"We're not going to make medicine! We're going to make magic jokes..."

The two brothers' voices stopped abruptly.

Mrs. Weasley blocked their mouths with both hands in an instant, then hugged their heads left and right and went to the next room to carry out educational work. Before leaving, she gave Link a 'Sorry, the child is not allowed. sensible. ' look.

After a while, the wailing sounds of brothers George and Fred came from next door.

Ron looked very excited, lying quietly at the door to peek, and snickering while watching. It seemed that he also had deep resentment towards his two brothers.

Link was even more smiling.

His original intention was to sign a contract and take George and Fred to a German pharmaceutical factory, forcing them to enjoy 997 blessings to take revenge. But now he didn't expect that he could collect some interest through Mrs. Weasley first. It's really congratulations.

"Those two little brats don't mean any harm."

A hoarse and unpleasant voice suddenly sounded from the corner of the living room. Everyone heard the sound and turned around to see Moody, the scar-eyed man, limping out of a secret door.

He took out a wine bottle and took a swig, then continued:

"They just eavesdropped on our meeting and found out that you were late for two days on purpose, so they were a little dissatisfied. This is a small mistake that won't make you retaliate against them like this."

Link did not answer, but tilted his head and said:

"Where is Dumbledore? He invited me here, but why is he not here?"

"Dumbledore is very busy. As long as we are here to talk to you..."

Sirius frowned and said, but before he could finish his words, Moody stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Everyone who doesn't matter should get out first!"

Moody said, glaring.

Looking at his ferocious expression, Sirius gritted his teeth, and finally left the conference room with Harry and Hermione who looked confused, and finally closed the door heavily.

Snape was obviously someone that Moody called 'irrelevant', but no matter how much Moody glared at him, he remained unmoved.

Finally, Moody gave up. He took a deep breath, took out his wand and drew a mysterious rune of silver light in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the runes dissipated, the flames suddenly exploded in the living room, and Dumbledore appeared in front of Link with the help of Phoenix Fawkes.

"Long time no see, Link."

Dumbledore greeted with a smile.

The long snow-white beard on his chin looked unkempt, as if it hadn't been tidied up for a long time, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Yeah." Link said coldly and perfunctorily, "Why did you ask me to come back this time?"

Faced with Link's knowing question, Dumbledore raised his eyebrows.

He knew very well that this trip to Germany had reduced Link's favorability to him to a more alert level.

The reason why the other party asked knowingly was most likely just to see him ask, which would be embarrassing.

But Dumbledore doesn't really care about his reputation, not to mention there are no outsiders here.

He said very naturally:

"I believe you already understand Harry's situation. I think it's time to activate your arrangements at the Ministry of Magic."

Link had a cold expression and did not answer immediately.

True to what Dumbledore said, he did make some arrangements at the Ministry of Magic.

The reason why Mrs. Foley did not accompany him to Germany, but chose to stay in the country, was to promote the implementation of those arrangements, and after development, these arrangements have been able to erupt with a quite terrifying energy.

These things are not a secret to a wizard of Dumbledore's level.

But the most critical issue now is that Dumbledore himself has the energy to solve Harry's problem this time. The reason why he called Link here now seems to be that he wants to force Link to take sides.

This makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, I have other uses for those arrangements. Besides, those arrangements are not mature yet and are far from ready for harvesting.

And the most important thing is, I don’t seem to be your subordinate, right?As a collaborator, there is no reason for me to take orders from you. "

"Don't be like this, Link. You and I both know that this incident is also an opportunity for you."

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Your chess piece can use this matter to further undermine Fudge's majesty and reach a higher level."

Of course Link understood that Dumbledore was right, but he remained unmoved and said:

"But I don't want him to run too fast, as that would be difficult to control."

Dumbledore looked helpless.

He pulled out a chair, sat down, and said sincerely:

"Link, I know you have grudges against me, but that's about it. The one who needs help now is Harry. Whether it's out of friendship or for future strategic purposes against Voldemort, you have to help him.

It's like Severus hates Harry, but he always protects Harry when he is in danger. "

While speaking, Dumbledore also looked at Snape. The latter was a little resistant and embarrassed when he was asked in a casual way, and his face turned red, but in the end he said nothing.

Facing the weird looks from Link and Emily, Snape lowered his head.

"By the way, the International Federation of Wizards is very dissatisfied with your manipulation of the Beckmann family to invade the German industry. They are discussing with the German Ministry of Magic how to fight back. I will help you solve this problem as a gift to calm your anger. "

Dumbledore smiled and said, "As for whether you want to help Harry or not, you can just think about it yourself. Oh, by the way, what are you going to do later?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Link's mouth:

"Who knows? Maybe I should learn the Apparition Charm and get a certificate."

"This is indeed a good idea. Once you can learn the phantom transformation spell, your actual combat ability will be greatly improved!

In this case, I will take my leave.Fudge has been up to a lot lately, and I have to deal with it before school starts. "

After saying that, Dumbledore summoned the phoenix Fawkes, and let it use the super-high-priority disembodiment spell to take him back to Hogwarts.

"By the way, your OWL test scores were withheld by the Ministry of Magic for a while, and I just got them back. Now that you are here, I will give them to you directly."

At the moment when he was about to be engulfed by the phoenix flames, Dumbledore threw down a roll of parchment and nodded to Link with great satisfaction.

He knew very well that Link had actually promised to help Harry.

After all, as a student who has not yet graduated, Link's only way to quickly obtain a license to use the Apparition Curse is to go through the back door of the Ministry of Magic.

Link's words are so understated now, which is actually hinting that he will look for his secret agent in the Ministry of Magic later.
