Admiral of Hogwarts

The Ravenclaw students who were waiting for Hugo and the others in the common room mainly wanted to ask them one thing, and that was why Veneto wrote that purely flattering poem in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

After Veneto showed the book "Transformation and Combat" which should be in the forbidden book area, everyone present suddenly realized the reason why she did that before.

Soon, messages began to circulate among Ravenclaws that as long as they flattered Lockhart, they would be able to obtain the restricted book zone approval note from him.

Considering that if they all asked Lockhart to sign his name, it would be easy for him or other professors to find out that something was wrong and cut off the path, so the eaglets quickly formed several small groups and began to cooperate, asking Lockhart to sign every week. The number of special approval slips is limited to two.

According to the analysis of some Ravenclaw seniors, this approach should not be hidden from Professor Dumbledore. But if they can control it, the principal will most likely turn a blind eye to their actions.

After all, it can be said that it is a traditional Ravenclaw custom for eaglets to sneak into the restricted area of ​​​​the library at night. To say that Professor Dumbledore has no idea at all would be to look down on this greatest person. The white wizard is gone. It's just that Dumbledore didn't stop this private action.

"Why should we tell everyone this information?" Veneto asked with some confusion during his free time during practice at the company one day.

"As a result, it becomes much more difficult for us to borrow books. In addition, in order to avoid public outrage, we must control the frequency of obtaining restricted books as much as possible."

"You are indeed right." After seeing that Hermione, who had been pulled to the other end of the room to teach alone by the company, did not notice him, Hugo approached Veneto and whispered.

"But you know, it's okay to borrow books through this channel once or twice. But if it happens more often, I'm worried that it might arouse the principal's suspicion."

"Ah, I understand." After being reminded by Hugo, Veneto suddenly realized why Hugo did this.

"In this case, we will be considered to have just discovered this vulnerability accidentally. Instead of deliberately trying to use this vulnerability to do something."

"Yes, this is the same as the best way to hide a drop of water is to hide it in the sea." Hugo nodded. "By the way, I heard yesterday on the Admiral Network that Tennessee and California are coming to the UK recently. Do they have anything to do?"

"Oh, the main reason is that they have basically established an organizational framework in the United States during this period, and they have also recruited a lot of people. They don't need so many ship girls to stay there for the time being."

Veneto whispered to Hugo. "So we sent out the mobile forces that the two of them could dispatch to facilitate our expansion in the UK."

"You know, because Grindelwald wreaked havoc across Europe but was blocked from Britain by Dumbledore. Therefore, the British wizarding community did not suffer as tragic losses as other European countries. In this way, the British wizarding community naturally became The place where bloodlines are most solidified.”

"This is not good news for us, because it means that if wizards like us who are not pure-blood wizards want to make a career, the space for development is much smaller than normal. "

"Is the situation in the British wizarding world so serious? Hugo asked with some confusion.

Although when he was reading books in his previous life, he realized that the British wizarding world was probably much worse than what was described in the novel. But now after hearing what Veneto said, Hugo felt that the real situation here might be worse than he imagined.

"It's very serious, even beyond everyone's imagination." Veneto looked at Hugo seriously and said, "According to our recent estimates, those pure-blood families account for about 70% of the economic share of the entire British wizarding world."

"In addition, they also have a monopoly on the production of a series of items that are vital to the wizarding world."

"To give you the simplest example, Bu Tong originally wanted to choose the town of Hogsmeade to open a store. However, because the relationship between this town and the pure-blood family was too close, after encountering many overt and covert After the obstacles, she had to open a store in Diagon Alley, which was more open.”

"I probably understand what the situation is." After Veneto briefly introduced the situation in the British wizarding world, Hugo nodded very seriously.

"And I think your choice is right. It is right to avoid the sharp edges of those pure-blood families before we can successfully establish ourselves."

"But we can't continue to compromise like this." Veneto said, as ship girls, the blood of warriors flows in their bones.

"So after we successfully established ourselves in Diagon Alley, we once again extended our power to Hogsmeade, and achieved certain results."

"Have we achieved certain results?" Hugo asked curiously, "Didn't I say that this place rejected you before? So how do you solve that rejection problem now?"

"People here still reject us," Veneto said. "But the strength we have developed over the course of a year no longer allows those guys to completely exclude us from this circle like they did before."

"So these guys can only acquiesce to our existence after trying many times to no avail. Although we still can't buy ready-made houses here, they will ignore us and build our own on the vacant land around the town. The room serves as a shop.”

With that said, Veneto sent the location of the store to Hugo through the Admiral Network. After a brief look, Hugo discovered that there was no open space because Hogsmeade was now filled with various houses, so they simply built the store on the outskirts of the town.

"Being neighbors with the Pig's Head Bar?" Hugo asked through the Admiral's network. "You should know the specific situation of Aberforth."

"Of course, of course I know," Veneto said. "But there are really too few places in Hogsmeade where houses can be built, so we have chosen only those places that are relatively empty."

"In other words, only by choosing to set up camp in that place can we avoid others noticing that something is wrong." At this time, the voice of counterattack also inserted into Hugo's discussion.

"After all, except for us, basically no one knows that the owner of the Pig's Head Bar is Principal Dumbledore's brother and the founder of the Order of the Phoenix. In this case, it would make us feel guilty if we actively avoid him."

"This does make sense." Hugo said after thinking for a while. He felt that the choice of counterattack in this regard could be said to be completely correct. My previous approach was really too influenced by the original text.

"By the way, what business will you run here?"

"A restaurant." He countered with a choice that was beyond Hugo's expectations. "According to the plan, I will open a restaurant here with Unicorn and two other locally recruited indigenous employees selling dishes and snacks from various countries."
