Hogwarts Scholar System

Apart from Hermione's accident, nothing special happened in the first month of school.

In the busyness, time flies by.Just after September, the icy cold wave began to invade. Hogwarts did not use magic to change these natural weather, so that the damp cold air spread everywhere outside the castle.

A large-scale cleansing spell has been cast on Hogwarts and nearby areas, which has removed a large amount of pollutant gases emitted by Muggle factories, making the air around Hogwarts particularly fresh, but this also seems to make the environment closer to nature The weather in Hogwarts is much colder than in Muggle cities or even rural areas.

Sometimes people with umbrellas get more wet than people without umbrellas, and the same goes for Hogwarts.Occasionally, many students who appeared outdoors during the process of going to the classroom caught colds. However, Harry and his team members, who often braved the cold wind and even freezing rain outdoors to practice Quidditch, few of them got sick and went to the hospital. .

In order to treat the students' colds, Madam Pomfrey at the school hospital prepared a large number of refreshing potions.The effect of the refreshing medicine to dispel the cold is immediate, but the ears will smoke for several hours after drinking it.

This potion looks good. Sitting cross-legged is like meditating to cultivate your inner strength. You can directly shoot a martial arts movie without adding props. How convenient!

After seeing the speed of Slytherin's new broom Nimbus 2001, Wood, the captain of the Gryffindor team, became even more depressed and trained like crazy, torturing the team members.In this case, the Weasley brothers finally took out their new broomsticks without any disguise, but what they bought was not the latest Nimbus 2001, but the same Nimbus 2000 as Harry.

After a month of crazy sales at the Ollivanders store, nearly two hundred low-end Tes wands, two of which were the cheapest, two Silver Sickles and one, were purchased. However, the store did not have to worry about market saturation at all, because in Hog Overused by Watts's students, the wands began to break within less than a month.

But no one complained about this, because the instructions for use had been warned when purchasing, and the lowest level wand only cost two silver coins, which was too cheap compared to the real wand.

75 intermediate-level Tes wands were sold, each worth nearly half a Galleon and eight Silver Sickles.

Twenty of the high-grade Tes wands were sold for one galleon each.

As for the VIP's Tes wands, five were sold, each costing two Galleons and seven Silver Sickles.

It looked like the sales were going well, and Ollivander was working hard, but in fact it was not as much profit as Maple made from the Acromantula in a week.

One year of sales has not affected the fluctuation of Acromantula prices, because after establishing a stable supply channel, Mundungus's customers are also quick-thinking people.In order to maintain high prices, they only sell a small part of the magic in the UK and then smuggle large quantities abroad.

Compared with purchasing goods from chaotic Africa, smuggling from Britain to other magical countries in Europe is more profitable.

Moreover, the price of venom smuggled and imported from Africa obviously adds to the loss of human life in the process of obtaining the venom.

Because compared to the Forbidden Forest next to Hogwarts Castle, the danger factor in the primeval forests of Africa has increased countless times, and the magical creatures in them are all in an untamed wild state.Based on the standards of the group of wizards in Africa, except for the Egyptian wizards who have the legacy of the ancient pharaohs, it is common for other wizards to hunt Acromantulas and suffer half of the casualties.

Compared with the United Kingdom, which has the strongest power and the strictest management, smuggling venom to other countries is obviously more profitable.However, the most profitable place for smuggling is not France, but the territory of the former Soviet Union.

With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the wizards of the former Soviet Union who had been reluctantly brought together also went their separate ways.The population of the secular world is an important criterion for measuring the population of the wizarding world, because the population of the wizarding world is less able to withstand the ravages of war than the secular world, so wizards of Muggle origin have become the main source of the population of the wizarding world, which is beyond the reach of the wizarding world in various countries. changed facts.

Although European countries do not regard Russia and the former Soviet Union as part of Europe, and people in the wizarding world have a similar attitude, this does not prevent them from doing business with wizards in these places.

Not long after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it was a time when the wizards in the magical world who joined the small countries were at a loss. In order to protect their own safety, they had no taboo at all about using vile poisons.So much so that the wizarding world in the former Soviet Union is the hottest place for selling Acromantula venom in Europe. Even though the price here is several times that of the UK, demand still exceeds supply, and there is no market for it.

Channels are the king of sales. These talented people who can sell venom to the former Soviet Union can earn even more profits from resale than Maple, the person who provides the supply.

Although the food is not the most filling, it does not prevent Maple from spending a lot of money——

Sales of Tes wands were slow, and the current rate of making money was still not enough. Maple directly donated one hundred gold galleons to the Auror Disability Fund in the name of the Tes wand dealer who cooperated with Ollivander, so that they could Solve an urgent need.

Then with a stroke of his pen, everyone in Gryffindor was given Nimbus 2000.Although it is not as good as the latest Nimbus 2001, which costs more than 100 Galleons, the four broomsticks combined cost more than 300 Galleons.

In addition, he donated two Nimbus 2000 to the Ravenclaw cadet team in return for the collection that was very useful to Maple and Hermione.

It is worth mentioning that in order to pick up girls, Fred and George specifically asked Maple to send the brooms to them, and then they personally gave them to the girls on the team.

The two brothers also competed for the right to give Angelina the broom, with George winning in the end.And it was George who finally married Angelina Johnson in the original time and space. Is this a coincidence?

The incident that the Gryffindor team received sponsorship from a mysterious man and all members changed to Nimbus 2000 immediately caused a sensation in the school once it was leaked.The faces of the Slytherins were the worst, even though all members were equipped with Nimbus 2000, which was much faster than Nimbus 2001, which made them feel that they were sure of victory.

While other students were still looking for who this mysterious donor was, Hermione determined the target first——

"Where did you get so much money?" When she chose to repay Ravenclaw with a broom as a gift, Maple had guessed that this might be the result, and Hermione immediately thought of him as expected.

"I won't tell you the answer directly, but I won't stop you from investigating me or Fred George!" Maple said without denying it.

After all this spending, Maple's pockets were empty again, and he also received a portion of the money from the Acromantula sales in advance from Mundungus.

Mundungus still has not sold half of the venom that Maple obtained this month, but the profit from this part of the sales has little to do with Maple.

With the speed at which Maple hunted the Acromantula, the profit he made in January was far from the limit of what he could earn.But it was a pity that Mundungus' abilities were limited. Sometimes Maple wanted to give him a slap. If his strength could reach the Auror standards, Maple could gain far more than these profits.

As for the werewolves, it has become a bottomless pit because of the invention of the damn wolfsbane potion.And after drinking this medicine once, you can't stop taking it after enjoying the harmless feeling of transforming into a wolf, and there is a small group of dozens of werewolves gathered in Knockturn Alley.Before Maple learned how to prepare wolfsbane potion, the cost of consuming one cup per person before the full moon every month was too high.

Therefore, Maple did not get a commission on the Acromantula sent to the werewolves. Let them keep the proceeds from the sales.

The money is empty, and it will take Mundungus at least a month to clear out the venom inventory on hand. In other words, Maple will not have any income in the next more than a month.

At this time, Maple thought of the potion notes Snape gave her. Maybe she could give the potions she made to the werewolves and let them try selling them to see how the market reacted.

Halloween is coming, and Maple has stopped doing other things.Because he remembered that the first attack was on Halloween, and the first time Quirrell did something last year was also on Halloween.It has to be said that when the professor is involved, especially when Dumbledore is also attending the banquet and has no other attention, it is the best time to cause trouble.

And before Halloween, Dumbledore also announced something that the students were very concerned about.After Dumbledore and members of the Wizengamot negotiated with the Ministry of Magic, a preliminary decision was finally made on the unicorn's psychic contract.

In order to facilitate the organization of activities and not attract the attention of Muggles, psychic activities will be carried out in batches.After some bargaining, Fudge agreed to allow Dumbledore to contract five young unicorns to Hogwarts students. However, the remaining unicorns contracted by the students would have to be arranged by the Ministry of Magic to be followed by people from the wizarding world. They continue to contract.

In addition, Dumbledore also promised that the professors at Hogwarts would not participate in the contract between the five adult unicorns in the wizarding world.

Because of the cold weather, the first contract activity will be held in a few months when the weather gets warmer.

After hearing this exact news, almost all the students wanted to jump with excitement.As Halloween approaches, everyone's focus is no longer on the holiday itself, but on passionate discussions about unicorns.

At this moment when everyone was laughing, Wood was alone and sad.Because while this event was being held in Hogwarts school, Professor Dumbledore announced that the school's Quidditch competition was suspended this year.

After finally getting sponsorship, all members of Gryffindor changed to Nimbus 2000, which gave Wood another glimmer of hope of winning. However, at this time, the academy competition was canceled, which made Wood feel depressed and wanted to hit the wall.

At the same time, Maple also noticed that Celia Dorlux was one of the few students who did not appear particularly happy after the announcement of the unicorn incident. This incompatibility with the crowd undoubtedly aggravated Maple's suspicion of her. .
