Hogwarts School of the Dark Arts

He asked Nicol 6 Flamel a lot of questions again. The next day, Dumbledore returned to his principal's office at Hogwarts, but he was alone and did not bring Nico 1 with him. ?6 Flamel.

About half an hour later, Professor McGonagall came to the principal's office.

"Albus, what's the matter? I have a class in the morning." Professor McGonagall asked.

"Do you still remember what I told you some time ago about opening restrictions on the use of magic materials for some students? Minerva."

"Well, what's wrong?" Professor McGonagall asked after nodding.

"I have found a generous sponsor who is willing to fund this project at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Dumbledore smiled slightly and took out two keys.

"These are the keys to two vaults. I don't know exactly how much money is in them...but it must be a lot."

"You and Snape each have one, he will purchase potion materials, and you will purchase other magical materials. The more, the better, especially those that can be stored for a long time."

Professor McGonagall was overflowing with surprise. This is a great thing for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!

Without asking any further questions, Professor McGonagall nodded and went to Professor Snape to discuss what magic materials to buy.

……

…………

On the other side, Xavier is also thinking about what magic materials to purchase.

Principal Dumbledore promised to buy the essence at 20 times the cost of the materials, and promised to buy a minimum of 100 Galleons.

Xavier is now hesitating whether to take the risk and buy more materials and traps... to sell Principal Dumbledore some essence.

1000 Galleons is not less than 100 Galleons~

"Let's forget it. It's a steady stream... It's a business without capital anyway. Even if I can't sell it at such a high price in the future, I can still make a profit."

Having made up his mind, Xavier was in trouble again.

"But I don't have the capital now. The Weasley family probably can't help me advance the payment. And if I give them the vault key... it won't work either."

It's not that Xavier is afraid that the Weasley family will embezzle his money, but in addition to the money left by his parents in the vault, there are also letters left by his parents, especially the letters left by his father, which are really not convenient for outsiders. See.

Even if the content is nothing, it is still a family letter after all. There is no reason for a family letter to be read by outsiders.

As he was thinking about it, Xavier suddenly slapped his forehead and woke up.

"Damn, I almost forgot. Principal Dumbledore asked for 100 Galleons of essence. When converted into magic materials, it only costs 5 Galleons! What I have on hand now is enough!"

After thinking about this, Xavier quickly found a detailed price list of materials that Mrs. Weasley had given Ron when he asked Ron to purchase magic materials for him. This list listed the original price of each magic material in detail. The final price after bargaining with Mrs. Weasley.

Taking out a pen and paper and calculating the materials for five galleons, Xavier took out one of his remaining three galleons from the box and put it in his pocket, then picked up the owl cage and walked out of the dormitory to knock on the door of the dormitory next to it.

The dormitory next to Xavier is where Harry and Ron are.

dong dong dong~

"Please come in."

"Xavier, what's the matter?" Harry asked.

"Where's Ron?" Xavier looked at the dormitory and found that Ron was not there.

"He and Neville went to the restaurant to eat first, and I was about to go... together?"

"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't eaten yet."

The two of them walked out of the dormitory and came to the dining hall together, and sure enough they saw Ron and Neville eating and chatting.

"Ron, help me buy some glass bottles for potions. I need all kinds of glass bottles." Xavier walked over quickly and said.

Ron suddenly became energetic: "The research was successful?!"

"Not yet, I have other uses."

"Oh, wait a minute until I finish this."

"Okay, I'll go see what's available to eat first."

Xavier placed the owl cage next to Ron and went to find food himself.

After a while, Ron finished the last bit of mashed potatoes on his plate, wiped his mouth, took out a pen and paper and started writing a letter.

"How much do you want to buy?"

"One galleons."

With that said, Xavier took out the Galleung and handed it to Ron.

Ron looked at it, put the Galleons and the letter into the envelope and sealed it, then opened the owl cage and used Xavier's owl to send a letter home.

He had no owls of his own, only owl food—rats.

"By the way, Ron, how did your family come up with the idea of ​​raising this mouse as a pet? I would understand if it was a hamster or a white rat. At least they are cute, but your Scabbers... when he was young Is it cute?" Xavier asked.

"No, I've always been this ugly...but very obedient...usually very obedient."

Xavier: "What about extraordinary circumstances?"

"In the past, it often disappeared. The longest time was that there was no trace of it for a whole week, until a week later it came out of nowhere."

Xavier: "Tsk, I guess they are digging holes in your house. They are rats after all."

"Well, there is indeed a possibility."

Ron didn't seem to want to continue talking about Scabbers, and quickly changed the topic to talk about today's class.

There are two classes today, both in the afternoon, namely Charms and Transfiguration.

Xavier preferred the Charms class to the Transfiguration class because he could learn many techniques for using magic from Professor Flitwick, including those in actual combat.

Of course, this part is generally not taught in class. You need to ask for advice after class.

"Do you have any activities in the morning? Do you want to go to Hagrid's place to play together?" Harry asked.

Xavier shook his head: "You know, I'm going to the library later."

"It's okay to take a day off once in a while, right? I heard Hagrid said that he was rescuing a civet kitten recently."

Xavier: "Civet? Are there civets in the Forbidden Forest?"

"I don't know if it's from the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid didn't say it in the letter... Why don't you go and ask in person?"

Xavier touched his chin and thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"Then eat quickly. We will set off after eating."

The three of them quickly finished their food and left the dormitory building together to go to Hagrid's hut.

Since arriving at Hogwarts, Xavier has not left the castle, and it feels good to come out and breathe some fresh air now.

"I'm still a little too anxious. Maybe I should enjoy the campus life at Hogwarts...but I have to wait until I solve the financial problem."

Xavier sighed, calmed down, opened his arms and embraced the rushing wind with a smile.

As a time traveler, and as a person who grew up in an orphanage after time traveling, Xavier understands the importance of money better than others.

"When I earn 1000 Galleons, I will stop and enjoy life to the fullest. What about you?" Xavier suddenly asked.

Harry and Ron were stunned at the same time, as if they did not expect Xavier to suddenly ask this question, nor did they think about this issue.

"In my words... 100 Galleons should be enough." Harry said after thinking for a moment.

Ron nodded: "Me too."
