There's something wrong with this Hogwarts

Chapter 69
There are two major commercial districts in the wizarding world.

Diagon Alley!
Hogsmeade!
Among them, Diagon Alley is divided into light and dark sides.

There are many glamorous shops on the bright side, such as Ollivander's Wand Shop, Gringotts, Madam Malkin's Robe Store, Lihen Bookstore, Fu Luoli... Florin's Cold Drink Shop.

Wizards like to visit during the day, the shops are booming, the business is booming, and a lot of Galleons are credited to the account every day.

Not far away is the dark side of Knockturn Alley.

This place is exclusively for dark wizards.

Selling stolen goods, buying and selling black magic items, props are strictly prohibited by the Ministry of Magic, as long as the money is in place, there is nothing you can't do.

Knockturn Alley usually looks deserted, but that's not the time.

In the dead of night, wizards put on black robes and came to Knockturn Alley, looking for all kinds of strange things.

The development of the wizarding world needs dark wizards.

Many people have this need.

And the same in Hogsmeade!
On the bright side, the Three Broomsticks Tavern, Zuko's Magic Joke Shop, Literary Habitat Quill Shop, and Honeydukes Candy Shop are full of customers, while on the dark side, the Pig's Head Bar is making money in a low-key manner.

Poor service, poor lighting, poor drinks, low prices.

The boss has both sides, earning information money.

A large number of dark wizards come here every day, discussing important matters with gloomy voices...mainly thinking about how to steal things in the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid once won a dragon egg in a bet with someone in the Pig's Head.

This is strictly forbidden by the Ministry of Magic to smuggle creatures!

Hagrid's IQ can get banned items, so you can imagine how many illegal things happen here every day.

The great legendary wizard Dumbledore knew very well that the masses of the people have needs of dark wizards, which cannot be killed or eliminated.

This demand really exists, even if the dark wizard's lair is destroyed now, it will be reborn in other places after a while.

So, Dumbledore sent his younger brother Aberforth to sit in the Pig's Head Bar!
Dark wizard?bring it on!

Small problem, turn a blind eye.

Big problem, Dumbledore will find a chance for a magic soldier to descend from the sky and hack you to death directly.

Today, all the store owners in Hogsmeade Village gathered together, sitting in the Pig's Head Bar, with Sima's face on their faces in silence.

"Friends, the news is true." Mrs. Puddife said in a deep voice, "Hogwarts will be closed, and all teachers and students are strictly prohibited from going out."

She runs a teahouse, the shop is small, decorated with lace everywhere, in an ambiguous petty bourgeois style.

Hogwarts students like to come here if they want to fall in love or pretend to be deep.

If you really want to close the school, you can directly declare bankruptcy.

There are many wizards living in Hogsmeade, but they are all adults, and no one goes to the teahouse with their spouse to sit around.

The old couple is old, who is willing to spend that money.

The little wizard is her only source of income.

"Playing the piano!" Zuoko gulped down his butter beer. He sold magic jokes and made money from students.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water, relying on Hogwarts of course to eat students.

What money is better than a child's?

"What should I do, what should I do!" Edmo, the owner of the quill shop in Wenrenju, was sweating profusely. He had no students. Who would he sell his quills to?

villagers?

Do not make jokes.

People buy a few quills to last a lifetime!

This is only a few dollars!
Mrs. Rosmerta of the Three Broomsticks Tavern has a sad face. She is a very attractive and attractive woman.

In places where black wizards frequent, this kind of woman is usually molested.

It's better for Hogwarts teachers and students to come here often. Dark wizards are not easy to attack, for fear of being chivalrous.

If you don't come...

Mrs. Rosmerta has a headache. Could it be that I am going back to the days when I was teased and dared not speak out, and made compromises?
That's too embarrassing!

Wilson, the owner of the Honeydukes Candy Shop, leaned back in his chair and put his face in his hands.

Apart from Dumbledore, he had never met an adult wizard with a sweet tooth.

After finally erecting the sign, Hogwarts does not allow little wizards to leave the school.

Merlin, I took advantage of the back-to-school season to hoard a lot of goods to make a small profit, please don't mess with me.

Most bosses are desperate, they don't know how to survive without Hogwarts.

The wizarding world is so crowded that it is difficult to find a job.

Excellent as Voldemort, when he graduated from the Ministry of Magic, he didn't get a suitable job, and he didn't want to dawdle, so he had no choice but to go to Knockturn Alley to work for the boss of Bojinbok's black magic shop.

Later, he became famous and wanted to become a professor at Hogwarts to clean up his crimes. Others had no objections, but Dumbledore jumped out and disagreed.

Seeing that the iron job in his hand was blocked, he said that no matter who is Voldemort, he will want to strangle Dumbledore to death.

The bosses of Hogsmeade Village are middle-aged, their magic level is average, and their learning ability is not good. Most of the knowledge they learned back then has been returned to the professors, which does not meet the current job hunting standards in the magic world.

Generation after generation of wizards with higher, faster and stronger magic, lower salary requirements, better health and ability to work overtime have graduated. These middle-aged people have almost been eliminated by history.

They will do nothing but open a shop.

Silence is today's Pig's Head Bar.

"Everyone, it's useless to just sit around, you have to come up with a charter." Aberforth was gray-haired like a mighty white-haired lion, and his voice was deep and powerful.

All the bosses are willing to listen to him.

I can use the tavern as a gathering place for dark wizards, and I am still alive and kicking after dealing with dark wizards for so many years.

Everyone knows that the owner of the Pig's Head Bar has powerful magic powers and hides a big secret.

"Is the news confirmed?" Aberforth asked.

The bosses nodded. They absolutely confirmed that Hogwarts strictly forbids teachers and students to go out. Combined with various gossip, [-]% of them will not go wrong.

"In this way, those who still want to open a store will continue to open, and those who don't want to open a store will sell to me." Aberforth said: "Of course, you know what the current market is, the price..."

Not worth a penny.

What is a store without consumers?It's just a few brick houses, and the wizards can build them casually.

Only the goods and decorations are valuable.

The bosses looked at Aberforth suspiciously.

We are about to close down, and you still want to buy us?
Aberforth took a gulp of his butterbeer.

The remaining wine dripped down his white beard, showing boldness.

"Be greedy when others are fearful, and fearful when others are greedy." Aberforth laughed.

Mrs. Rosmerta frowned slightly. She had heard this sentence before, but she didn't say that.

It seems that others are fearful and I am greedy, and others have small losses and I am bankrupt.

But she dared not say it.

"Besides, I'm in the business of dark wizards, and it has nothing to do with me if people from Hogwarts come out."

"All year round, they can't give me a few Galleons."

"It's bad news for you if they don't come out, but it's good news for me."

"I want to make Hogsmeade the largest gathering center for dark wizards in the world!"

"At that time, the wealth will flow in!"

Aberforth is ambitious.

"Anyone of you who wants to stay with me to do a big business can join me!"

The bosses looked at each other and smiled awkwardly at each other.

Can such a great undertaking be done casually?
Anyway, they dare not.

Is the owner of the pig's head bar sick?
It’s fine if you sneak around in the business of dark wizards and earn a little money. If you really gain your reputation, Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic will definitely suppress you and send you to Azkaban!
The bigger you do, the faster you die!
