Hogwarts School of the Dark Arts

Chapter 36, dividing the spoils

The experience of revisiting the old place and coming to Xavier in Diagon Alley is completely different.

The first time he came, he was full of novelty and fear about everything. This time, Xavier looked at everything and wondered whether it would be useful to him.

This was not good, so Xavier bought himself a large portion of ice cream and ate it while shopping, and wandering around randomly.

At the same time, pay more attention to the conversations of other wizards and don't think about your own Xiao Jiujiu.

While shopping, Xavier came to a very small store.

Everything in this store is shabby, including the counters and shelves, but the sign at the door is new and reads "Clover Magic Food Store".

A somewhat fat witch was sitting behind the counter knitting, and next to him there was a little red-haired girl reading a book.

"Business doesn't look good, Mrs. Weasley."

"The hot pot has been sold out, you can make a reservation if you want."

The two of them said the words almost at the same time, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

"Oh, you are Xavier, right? Gray pupils, Ron has talked about you more than once." Mrs. Weasley stood up and walked over to Xavier enthusiastically and gave Xavier a big hug.

"it's me."

Xavier got rid of his restraints unnaturally and looked at the empty shelves.

"When did the goods sell out? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Just sold out, just sold out... It's no big deal, don't worry about it, you can play for a few more days before school starts." Mrs. Weasley said.

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is not a concentration camp."

"This...nearly 300 copies have been booked so far."

Xavier nodded clearly: "It's okay, it's not too much, it can be made in one day."

After speaking, Xavier looked at the layout of the store again.

"Mrs. Weasley, I personally think that the decoration of this store is... a little bit old... but I don't know how to operate it. What I want to say is that if you want to renovate or expand, you can directly use the money earned by the company to expand. The fees are included in the cost, and if the cash is not enough, I can add some more funds.”

"Oh, dear, there is no need to waste money at all. If you just sell food, this small store is enough and the business is very good."

Mrs. Weasley shook a somewhat worn notebook, which was full of names left by customers who ordered hot pot.

Then, Xavier asked about the sales situation. Originally, he just wanted to have a brief understanding, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Weasley directly brought the account book over and told Xavier non-stop.

From the purchase of raw materials to the specific sales figures every day and which flavors are sold, Xavier's head is spinning.

Fortunately, Ron arrived, and with him were Mr. Weasley, Harry, and Hermione.

"Xavier, when we just met Hermione, we were still talking about whether we would meet you too... It just so happened that the four of us got together, why don't we share the money today. I will go to buy second-grade magic later. The book...you probably didn’t buy it either, right?”

Ron came over and hugged Xavier and then looked at Xavier with empty hands and said.

"It's true that I haven't bought it yet...let's calculate the profits and see if we make a profit or a loss."

"How can we compensate... Oh, yes, and the rent..." Ron, who was in high spirits, suddenly lost his temper.

"I've done the math. Excluding rent and raw material costs, our total profit is 153 Galleons, 7 Sicols and 11 Nats... This does not include the 300 reservations made during this period."

Mrs. Weasley patted Ron on the shoulder and said with a happy smile on her face.

"That's great!" Ron waved his hand vigorously: "Harry, George and Friar made more than 50 galleons in the school, which adds up to more than 200 galleons!"

"Ron, what your brothers are talking about is sales, not profit. The cost of raw materials must be deducted to determine the profit...their profit can only be counted as 27 Galleons, 3 Sickles and 5 Knuts." Mrs. Weasley looked serious. said.

"That's a lot!"

Ron shook his head, started counting on his fingers.

"I want to calculate how much I can get...1, 2, 3..."

"How long are you going to keep doing this?" Hermione patted her forehead helplessly: "According to the previously agreed ratio, based on the total profit of 180 Galleons, you can get 54 Galleons, Harry 72 Galleons, and Ze Vile is 27 Galleons, and I... am also 27 Galleons."

At the end of the sentence, Hermione suddenly became silent and her ears turned slightly red.

She didn't seem to have made any contribution.

"I didn't help much, my share is still..."

"The suggestions you wrote in your letter were of great help to me in improving my products." Xavier interrupted Hermione and said, "If it weren't for your suggestions, I would definitely not have made those flavors that I don't like, and the sales would have been certain." It cannot be what it is now.”

"Indeed, taste is still very important." Harry nodded and looked at Xavier firmly: "I don't need to divide my share. It is considered an additional investment to buy more raw materials and research more new flavors."

Looking at Harry's firm gaze, Xavier thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Rich man Harry is not short of money. If he is willing to make additional investments for free, then let him make more investments. It is not Xavier who deceived him.

Rich people are willful!

"Ok."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go to Gringotts together later, and I will pay you back the money I borrowed from you before."

"no problem."

After the discussion, everyone happily began to formally divide the money.

The happiest person was Ron. However, poor Ron was not happy for long. His money was confiscated by the Weasleys, saying that he wanted to buy new clothes and school supplies for his sister.

But instead of confiscating everything, Ron was left with 4 galleons and a fraction.

This still made Ron very happy, and he ran away without a trace, leaving only a sentence waiting for him to come back, and he would treat everyone to ice cream.

Xavier originally wanted to refuse. He had just finished a large portion, but seeing that Ron was in high spirits and he was running really fast, Xavier couldn't refuse.

After waiting for a while, Ron really came back with ice cream, all of which were large portions. Xavier could only silently pray that his stomach could withstand the pressure.

A group of people walked majestically down the streets of Diagon Alley with a large portion of ice cream in hand. If you didn't know better, you might have thought it was a black organization in the magic world.

But if you think about it carefully, if the whole family acted together, the Weasley family would seem to be even larger than they are now.

What’s more interesting is that in the plot, Ron served as a goalkeeper, the twins were batsmen, Ron’s second brother Charlie was a chaser and a seeker, and Ginny was also a chaser, but she also served as a chaser for a long time. Seeker of time.

In other words, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley gave birth to a Quidditch team!
