Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 278 278. A generous gift from Bill

After a Transfiguration class and a History of Magic class in the morning, Scott waited until he returned to the dormitory after lunch before opening the letter from Bill.

The part of the envelope that belongs to the letter is actually only a piece of parchment, and the other thick stacks are Bill's carefully drawn drawings and some photos.

Scott quickly read through the letter.

As a Gringotts spellbreaker, Bill is actually serving the goblins who control Gringotts.

The goblins are greedy and insatiable by nature, and they can always get some weird magic items. Bill's daily job is to break the dangerous spells on these magic items.

Egypt has a long history, and the remains of the pyramids standing on that land are actually far more than those discovered by Muggles.

As the mausoleum of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh, the pyramid was built in the historical time when wizards and Muggles were mixed together, and even served the royal power.

Therefore, ancient wizards must have participated in the construction of the Egyptian pyramids.

Modern Egyptian wizards have discovered that many ancient magic crystals are completely preserved in many pyramid ruins, and the greedy goblins will certainly not let them go.

Of course, compared to goblins, wizards are the rulers of the magic world.The goblins cannot get past the Egyptian wizards to obtain the right to develop the pyramid ruins.

But the shrewd goblins chose to cooperate with the Egyptian Ministry of Magic for joint development.

Leaving aside the complicated distribution of interests between goblins and Egyptian wizards.In short, under this background, Bill, who is a Gringotts spellbreaker, can often go deep into the pyramid ruins to explore.

He has witnessed the appearance of many ancient magic items when they were unearthed, and he can also study them for work.

This time, Bill's letter mentioned that the wizards of the Egyptian Ministry of Magic recently cooperated with Gringotts to open a large pyramid relic, and he also gained a lot from the relic.

Of course, this kind of harvest is not the harvest of material wealth, but the acquisition of insight and knowledge.

Those drawings were Bill's generous sharing of part of his research materials with Scott.

It includes dissected diagrams of some ancient magic items, ancient Egyptian rune records hidden in some murals, and even some magical animal specimen records unique to Egypt, all of which are accompanied by physical photos.

Scott flipped through the drawings and found that they were drawn very carefully. Bill even carefully wrote down his own research results on the drawings.

This is indeed a great gift.

Scott flipped through it excitedly.

He understood that if he hadn't been a great help to the Weasley family in the two incidents of Voldemort's diary and Peter Pettigrew, he would not have received such a generous gift from Bill.

Due to lack of time, he just browsed through it roughly, but he also felt that these materials could bring him a lot of gains.

He packed all the materials into a strong file bag, and put it in a deformed lizard skin bag for personal storage.

Afterwards, he packed up the textbooks and notes to be used in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and left the dormitory.

It's just... Eddie's voice was the first thing Scott heard when he came to the common room.

"...So if you have any needs, you can come to me, come, take this product list!"

Eddie was standing in front of several first-year students, handing them brochures one by one.

"Remember, my name is Eddie Mitchell, fourth year Ravenclaw, the most reliable underground businessman in Hogwarts!"

Scott tucked his textbooks and notebooks under his arm, walked lightly behind Eddie, reached out and took out a booklet from his hand to look through.

Those first-year freshmen seemed a little scared when they saw Scott, and quickly turned around and slipped away.

Scott didn't pay attention to them, and continued to flip through the booklet in his hand.

The cover of the booklet is only printed with the Hogwarts school badge, and there is no text, but the content inside is very rich after opening.

The first few pages printed a simple map of Hogwarts, emphasizing the routes between the common rooms, halls, and main classrooms of each house.

After the map is a guide to school life, which thoughtfully summarizes several pages of tips that freshmen don't know.

And after that is the so-called catalog.

It includes the prank props invented by the Weasley twins, the three-no potion that Eddie tinkered with, and even most of the goods in Hogsmeade village.

"Are you trying to smuggle?" Scott asked Eddie with a smile.

"Is this called smuggling?" Eddie shook his head disapprovingly, "This is obviously a purchasing agent!"

He said confidently: "Students in the first and second grades can't go to Hogsmeade Village to play. As seniors, we will provide them with purchasing services intimately!"

"Um……"

Scott smiled noncommittally, and turned the booklet over to the end.

"what is this."

He looked at the page in the booklet.

[Mysterious arithmetic divination, the arithmetic divination service provided by the genius fortune teller from Ravenclaw! ]
[Incomparably accurate, he used arithmetic divination to find the Ravenclaw crown that had been lost for thousands of years! ]
[Satisfaction 100%!To make an appointment for Arithmancy please contact Service Agents Eddieka Mitchell, Fred Weasley, George Weasley. ]
"How?" Eddie asked Scott triumphantly, "I made this up with those two Weasleys, of course, most of it is my idea!"

"..."

Scott glanced at the ad for arithmetic divination again, and suddenly felt that his compulsion had been lowered a bit.

"Is this also your idea?" He shook the booklet in his hand.

"Of course!"

Eddie held his head up, begging for praise.

"The content above is pretty good." Scott handed him the pamphlet, and said angrily, "But I don't think the arithmetic and divination service needs to be advertised."

Eddie looked a little surprised.

Scott glanced at him, "I didn't intend to divination to too many people, and..."

He lowered his voice, "The most important thing is that this destroys the mystery of divination. Didn't I tell you that you can't treat this as a business!"

"Don't worry." Eddie said quickly, "This is our advertisement, and it won't involve you. We will strictly check it for you. Not everyone's request for divination will be granted!"

Scott shook his head, "It's too late, arithmetic and divination has become a commodity after being printed in a pamphlet."

"That's okay." Eddie smiled pretentiously, rubbed his hands and said, "As long as you can make money, it's fine."

"You have a good point, but I don't accept it."

Scott gave him a smirk.

"I have decided to cancel the arithmetic divination service."

Eddie looked at him dumbfounded, "Oh! You can't do this, Scott, what will we do if you no longer provide arithmetic divination?"

Scott smiled, "Of course, you are my friends, if you ask me for help for your 'friends', especially those 'old friends' who have spent a lot of money with you, maybe I will soften my heart gone?"

"Oh..." Eddie's eyes lit up, and he murmured, "Good idea."

Seeing him lost in thought, Scott patted him on the shoulder before turning and walking into the college library.
