I, Hogwarts Second Week

Miss Granger is determined and persistent.

Although Owen didn't have much hope for this, he finally agreed to let Nagini be admitted to the Rozier Magic Hospital for the Disabled and stay in the hospital for observation.

They then left Nick's house.

the following few days.

Owen began traveling back and forth between the estate and the hospital.

Busy treating patients.

Missing the days of being alone with Miss Granger.

It's nearing the end of the Christmas holidays. Sirius left Paris with Harry and Ginny.

They should have gone to the Burrow.

Owen never saw Ron again.

He should be at home in America at this time. He probably won't return to Hogwarts until school starts.

As for Hermione - she was busy again.

In addition to the sharp increase in their homework as they approached the O.W.L. exam - Ordinary Wizarding Level, more importantly, she began to actually manage this huge manor.

As one of the most important properties of the Rozier family, the manor has many cellars and basements, attics and hidden rooms.

It also has a sizable library.

Hermione said she should make a list and find out how many things there were in the manor!

Anyway, the rest of the time was spent like this.

The morning of the last day.

They ate breakfast in a hurry, put on their coats and scarves, passed through the clock door, and returned to the safe house in Hogsmeade.

The January morning was gray and chilly.

The earth is white.

There was heavy snow everywhere.

The village still maintains the cheerful atmosphere of Christmas, with Christmas trees decorated everywhere.

The two did not stay, but returned to the castle as quickly as possible.

Returning to the castle, it was as if the bustle had suddenly returned.

They were quite late.

Some little wizards had returned to the castle yesterday.

Many little wizards in the auditorium were chatting and laughing, sharing their Christmas experiences.

At noon, Harry, Ginny and the Twins also returned to Hogwarts.

But he was rather sad. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he bumped into Snape.

It should be said that Snape was waiting for him there specially.

"Six o'clock on Monday evening, Potter!" Snape said coldly, and then walked away.

He didn't say a second sentence the whole time.

Harry looked disappointed and lowered his head as if resigned to his fate.

There was no way, he couldn't help him this time, so Owen withdrew his gaze and pretended not to see it.

"Hi - how was your Christmas?" Gemini was very relaxed.

For them, this will be their last half year at Hogwarts.

They have finally graduated, and the vast world is waiting for them to explore.

Unlike Owen, who was willing to never graduate, they had long wanted to leave Hogwarts.

If it weren't for the fear of Mrs. Weasley's wrath, the two of them would have dropped out of school at the end of their fifth year.

"After two weeks of overtime work, I didn't get to experience much holiday anyway." Owen rubbed his wrists and crazily made up for his homework all morning. I'm afraid I'll need another pen and a miracle tonight.

Depend on! He didn't understand that he was busy saving people and the world!

I still have to do my homework—fuck! How ridiculous.

"Then you are really pitiful." George sat next to him and said to him, "I heard from Harry that you inherited your family's property?"

"What? You want to borrow money?" Owen said with a slight raised eyebrow.

"Invest! What about borrowing money?" Fred said seriously.

"Isn't that different?"

"We can bring you profits! Besides, can a big family like yours still produce babies if they bury the gold galleons in the cellar? Do you understand investment? Our new project is a cash cow! We will make a fortune in the future."

"Rhetoric." Owen continued to crazily make up his homework, "It's pointless for you to talk to me about this issue."

"I was defrauded of all my previous money by some old bastard with pink hair. All the money I earned from treating patients became the hospital's running water and was used to maintain daily operations. As for the inheritance my mother left me, I can find the person next to me. She holds the key to Gringotts' vault."

"Hermione?" The twins were startled, and then they immediately responded, "Are you making progress so fast? Have you already met your parents? When do you plan to get married?"

The two seemed to be chatting and laughing, but in fact they had quietly gathered around Hermione.

The little witch's cheeks were flushed, but she was no longer as nervous and speechless as before. She just coughed slightly, then glared at the two of them and said, "You can also invest."

"But you all came up with a complete project plan and market research report. After reading it, I thought it was feasible, so I will naturally invest."

Hermione was not one of those pure-blood misers.

As a person born in London, one of the world's financial capital centers, Hermione certainly knew something about Muggle angel financing.

How can you still see pigs running if you haven't eaten pork?

"Project plan?" George said.

"Market research report?" Fred said.

"What is that?" they both said in unison.

"It's a text briefing that analyzes and predicts the future development of your project." Irving on the side explained, "What is the underlying logic of your project? Where is the top-level design? What is the final value delivered? Where is the starting point of the process? How Ensure closed-loop marketing? What are your highlights compared to others? What are your advantages? What are your thoughts and reflections? Where is your unique value?"

"Have you found your own differentiated track? Have you conducted an in-depth review of the first half of your life cycle? Through quantitative benchmarking with social individuals with the same time accumulation, look for your own exposure in multiple dimensions. The gap between stock and increase.”

Irving brushed his pen and huffed and puffed.

The little wizard next to him was stunned.

Everyone was silent for a moment before turning around and asking, "What are you talking about?"

Hermione looked at him, confusion written all over her face.

She knew what those words meant and could put them together.

All she realized was, oh—it turns out these two words can go together!

"Jargon!" Owen said.

"Anyway - how much do you want?"

The twins, who were dizzy after being hit by a verbal machine gun, finally came to their senses.

Then he said eagerly, "Eighty thousand!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

"With only 80,000 Galleons, we can open Weasley's Alchemy Workshop throughout Europe and North America."

"What? Who do you think I am?" Owen stared at the two of them with wide eyes. "Are you rich and handsome? Just ask for 80,000?"

"Isn't it?" Gemini asked doubtfully.

"Well - you're right, it's true." He put down his quill, "But this is too much. Eighty thousand galleons. How can I have so much money?"

"It doesn't need to be that much. That's the total investment. We can do it in batches, develop France first, and then develop Germany when we are profitable. This way we can save a lot of money."

"Okay." Owen thought for a while. There should be tens of thousands of Galleons in the vault. After all, it is also the inheritance of the Rozier family. Sirius can inherit a large sum of money from the already declining Black family. He is sure There will only be more.

"As long as you can convince Miss Granger, I have no objection anyway." He waved his hand. Anyway, Rosier Magical Hospital for the Disabled is his personal property now, and the hospital is a money-making business, especially in the wizarding world. In a society where monopolies are prevalent, the money earned from this part alone is enough for him to spend.

"By the way, why don't you ask Harry to borrow money? He has a lot of assets." Owen then asked.

"Harry?" The twins were stunned. They all knew that Harry inherited more than half of the Galleons from his parents, but they didn't know how much it was. "Didn't his parents spend all their money?"

Fred stared at Owen, all the blame is on you, you have the nerve to ask!

In order for them to learn spells before, Harry had paid a lot of money.

"It's not his parents' money." Owen said with a dark face. As expected, the wizards of Gryffindor were very different from those of Slytherin.

As soon as Slytherin enters Hogwarts, he will look for the history of his family, because this long-standing magic school records many deeds that are not available outside.

They can easily find those great people and deeds about their family, thus gathering respect for their bloodline.

But the little wizards from other colleges - they don't seem to care about this kind of thing at all.

Owen dared to say that Harry Potter didn't even know his grandfather's name!

Not to mention the long history of the Potter family.

He continued: "What about the ancestral heritage of the Potter family? It is a pure-blood family with a small population and only one generation. Harry's grandfather is also a famous potion master. The magic conditioner he invented is very famous in the entire wizarding world. , sold overseas. This huge family, all the assets, magic weapons, and the house in Godric Valley were inherited by Harry alone.

And isn’t there Sirius? He would definitely leave all the Black inheritance to Harry.

Oh - maybe there is also Snape. If Professor Snape passes away one day, I think it is most likely that he will leave his inheritance to Harry. The mixed-race kid—he must have a lot of assets. "

Owen's words turned quickly, "He alone inherits all the properties of the three wizarding families! He will definitely be the richest wizard in the UK in the future."

"Oh - we never knew!" The twins looked back at Harry in shock. At this moment, Harry was shining in their eyes!

It was much easier to work with Harry than to fight with Hermione.

"What are you two thinking? That's Harry's money." Ginny immediately stood up and stood between the Gemini and Harry.

Inexplicably, George and Fred saw the shadow of Hermione in Ginny.

"Why are you so excited?"

On the other side, Harry suddenly became interested. He poked his head from behind Ginny and asked Owen, "What are you talking about? Why didn't I know?"

"Of course you don't know." Owen rolled his eyes at Harry, "Do you think Gringotts is a bank? Are you still obligated to notify the heir to withdraw money?"

"Guess who gets the money in the treasury when those pure-blood family heirs pass away?"

"Huh?" Harry immediately realized that it was the group of goblins who wanted to embezzle their family's wealth.

"Then do I have to go to Gringotts?"

"It's a trip. You must make it clear that you want to open the Potter family's vault, not your own vault. Those goblins will definitely shirk it. At this time, you have to act tough,"

"Don't need a key?" Harry asked.

"No need. Even if the security level of the Potter family's vault is not as good as that of the Black and Malfoy families, it still has a long history. These vaults are controlled by goblins, and the way to open them is a kind of goblin magic."

"Really? Doesn't that mean they can take away the wizard's wealth at will?" Harry said with a frown.

"In most cases they won't. This is the cornerstone of Gringotts' survival, but if a vault and its heirs are all confirmed to be dead, then the goblins don't need to bear any consequences."

"This is not good at all." Harry said angrily because the goblins were targeting him. "Even if there is no heir, they can't just take away the private property of the wizards. It doesn't belong to the goblins."

"This is the wizard's idea." Owen put away the papers on the long table. He had already finished writing about magic, and next was the history of magic.

"The goblins believe that wizards only have the right to use all goblin creations, including gold galleons. When the user dies, the things belong to the goblins again. Just like the Sword of Gryffindor."

"That's ridiculous!" Harry said, "They are just coveting wizards' wealth. I really don't understand why wizards don't build their own banks?"

"Oh - Professor Dumbledore is working hard to implement this, but I don't think it will have any results in the short term. It may not be officially implemented until 1999."

"1999? Why 1999?"

"Because that year the European Union will formally unify its monetary policy and implement the euro, which has a symbolic meaning. Well - there is no point in saying this. Harry, you'd better prepare for Snape's first lesson."

Hearing the sound, Harry immediately grimaced, "Don't mention it." He said irritably, "I thought I could hold on, but in fact, I just looked at him and I was already afraid of Monday night. .”

"Then you will probably be miserable." Owen said without regret. "The most important first step in learning Occlumency is to clear your mind and concentrate. If you are trapped in fear, you will never learn it. "

"Huh?" Harry wailed.

"I don't know what you are afraid of? Snape will not eat you, a person who can leave you an inheritance after death, so what are you afraid of?"

"I" Harry was startled, "He always ridicules me and laughs at me. I can't help but want to beat him."

"Well - then all I can say is, be prepared to endure hardship!" Owen stood up slowly, nodded towards Hermione, left the bench and walked out of the auditorium.

He was going back to the Hufflepuff common room.

There are more and more little wizards in the auditorium, and falling into it is not a good place to catch up on homework.

Drilling through the oak barrels, bending down through a wooden tunnel, and then the sight suddenly opened up.

The Hufflepuff common room was still so warm and bright.

Most of the little wizards from the academy have returned.

He saw Hannah talking to Susan.

Justin was there, but he didn't see Ernie.

"Hi - Hannah." He walked over, "The D.A's badge is not on."

"Sorry Owen." Hannah said apologetically, "My mother still doesn't want to leave home. She's afraid of the outside."

"Okay." Owen came to the table and chairs in the lounge, took out a blank piece of parchment, and prepared to complete his homework on the history of magic.

"Where's Ernie?" he asked. "He's not back yet?"

"I don't know, we came here by Knight Bus, and the Hogwarts Express didn't arrive until the afternoon. He should still be on the train." Justin said, keeping his eyes on Susan.

It seems that the two of them have made great strides in development during Christmas!

"Really?" Owen shook his head and said nonchalantly, and began to write the paper quickly.

Don't know what really happened.

Until nightfall, they still hadn't seen Ernie.

The school also held a dinner at seven o'clock, which was regarded as compensation for the Christmas dinner. During this period, Owen asked Hermione and Harry and heard that Ron had not returned yet.

Thursday is a new day.

Most of the little wizards have begun to integrate into the life of the school.

In the morning's Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall taught them a brand new Transfiguration Technique, which allows the wizard's senses to be connected to the transformed animals. For example, if you transform into an eagle, you can remotely detect it through the eagle's eyes. intelligence.

All in all, it's a very practical magic. Everyone’s enthusiasm for learning is very high.

In the afternoon it was History of Magic. A boring class, passed in a drowsy state.

Then came the elective course Ancient Runes, which made little sense, to Owen.

He plans to stop taking this course after the O.W.L exam this year.

Bathcida Barbling loved him very much. She definitely wanted him to take the N.E.W.T. class, an advanced class in this course.

If she knew what Owen was currently thinking, she would probably be very sad.

At night, Owen and the others went to the Room of Requirement.

D.A’s first gathering after the new year.

Everyone is very curious about this mysterious room in the castle.

Of course due to the large number of little wizards.

This time, the Room of Requirement was larger than before, and Owen also prepared a double layer of insurance. He placed the captured suitcase in the Room of Requirement and hid it with the Disguise Charm, just in case someone broke through. The little wizard can hide in the suitcase.

The party tonight was fruitless. The little wizards wasted too much time sharing their holiday experiences. Although they also practiced spells, they were absent-minded.

Two hours later, everyone left the Room of Requirement together.

Owen and Harry talked for a while, but there was still no news about Ron. There was also Ernie in Hufflepuff. There are also a few people on the Ravenclaw side.

After their investigation, they found that most of these little wizards went to the United States during the holidays.

To be sure, something happened in the United States and they closed the border, otherwise there is no other explanation.

After understanding this, everyone immediately became worried.

But to no avail, they could only go back to their respective dormitories and wait for news.

the next day.

In the morning's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

They met Umbridge again.

Although she had been tortured by Owen, today, she looked the same as before, wearing a pink suit, staring with terrifying toad eyes, and a disturbing smile on her lips.

It's only when his eyes look at Owen that his eyes change. It's a kind of hatred engraved in his bones.

Hannah and the others couldn't help but frown. Others may not have seen it, but she, Susan, and Ernie could see it clearly.

That was a look that shouldn't appear on a professor.

She must be preparing some evil plan.

No doubt about it!
