Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 586 Pit

At the wizarding card gathering at the end of November, Lee Jordan finally took over from Albert the task of preparing for the wizarding card game in the second half of the semester. He has already held two sessions of the wizarding card game. The race is easy to come by.

However, the number of participants this year is a bit unsatisfactory. Even if Albert took out an "expensive" amulet as a prize for the champion, he could barely get together 32 contestants, which made Lee Jordan depressed for a while. I wonder if it's because I'm not as attractive as Albert, but no girl has signed up for this year's Wizard Card Competition.

  He couldn't help complaining to Albert: "Is it my bad luck, or my face is too dark to scare the girls away."

  Although Lee Jordan also knew that it was not his fault, but... he still felt that he had messed up what Albert told him when he officially took over.

  Albert didn't care at all, and casually comforted the other party.

   Time entered December, Hogwarts Castle was covered by snow, and the owls who delivered the letter were all thinner, but there were always exceptions, Sheila had gained a lot of weight.

  Daisy and Herb wrote to tell him that the itinerary of the Christmas holiday had been changed. They would go to France first and stay there for two days, and after he attended the wedding, they would go to Italy together for vacation.

  Albert suspected that Mogg told his parents about the matter. With the enlightenedness of Daisy and Herb, it is not difficult to understand that they would make such a choice.

   Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Mogg tampered with the memories of the two. To be honest, Albert is really not flattering about the ethics of wizards.

  That afternoon, on Albert's way to the library, Hermione rushed over and brought him good news: Harry failed to make a deal with Mundungus Fletcher after all.

  Hermione was very dissatisfied with the thief Mr. Mundungus who was always trying to trick them. She would rather take the risk to deal with Snape.

  The failure of the transaction can only be regarded as following the trend of history. The world is sometimes so wonderful, but Harry and Ron suffered a lot. It takes a lot of risk to make trouble in Potions class.

   It is said that Mr. Mundungus, the thief, encountered some trouble a few days before the transaction. He broke into an empty door to steal things, but was hated by others. It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, for those old wizards with Garen and connections, it is too easy to take revenge on the thieves who wander in the gray area.

  Thus, Mundungus was targeted by employees of the Ministry of Magic. The other party detained Mundungus' suitcase on the grounds of operating without a license, and all the goods in it were naturally destroyed.

   Next, the process of gathering evidence is simple.

   The Ministry of Magic employee fined Mundungus a large sum of Galleons for losing some prohibited items, and planned to send him to Azkaban Prison for a few days.

  Mundungus Fletcher was naturally unwilling to let him go. He originally wanted to use the Confusion Charm on the Ministry of Magic employee when he wasn't paying attention, trying to fool him, but the spell bounced back.

  Thus, this Mr. Thief was charged with assaulting an employee of the Ministry of Magic, and was fined two hundred Galleons, plus half a year in prison in Azkaban.

   Really gratifying.

  Mundungus Fletcher's deal with Hermione (Harry) just fell through, and it even landed him on the second page of the Daily Prophet.

   If Mundungus knew that he had fallen on Albert's amulet, he wondered how he would feel.

  However, he also used his Galleon to make Albert's amulet famous. Because of this, the wizards who went out to execute the Ministry of Magic wanted to purchase similar amulets to resist some unexpected sneak attacks.

  Mr. Toller made a lot of money because of this, and he also planned to continue to purchase goods from Albert, and even had the desire to form a long-term cooperation with the Ministry of Magic, but unfortunately he failed to get his wish in the end.

  The field of defense against the dark arts is the cash cow that Albert left to himself, how could he be so generous as to share it with others?

  Even if you want to win together, you have to eat meat while others eat soup.

  In the beginning, it was fine if Kenneth Toller took advantage of the loophole. The other party was able to sell the amulet at a high price through his connections. That was someone else's ability, and he didn't care.

  The effect of most amulets cannot last for too long.

   At the latest one year, the amulet will completely fail, and it will not affect Albert's plan to sell amulets in the future, and the amulets will continue to be upgraded and improved.

"You have no idea that none of the people working in the Ministry of Magic can recite a decent Iron Armor Curse. Although the Aurors have been trained and are much better at this aspect, they can't guard against sneak attacks anytime and anywhere." Kenneth · Toller's spit flew wildly, excitedly introducing Albert to the prospect of the amulet.

  In their view, that is simply a cash cow!

  Of course, they need the amulet made by Albert himself, and the Ministry of Magic knows that it is reliable.

  Kenneth Toller is quite sincere and is willing to give half of the profits to Albert.

   "Sorry, although the business you said is indeed very tempting, but... making those amulets is a waste of time, and, you know, I have always been busy in school, and there is no extra time to waste on these things."

   Albert yawned lazily, and politely refused.

   It is naturally impossible for Kenneth Toller to continue earning Galleons through him.

After all, Albert is planning to open a Defense Against the Dark Arts specialty store, and he is not in a hurry to make this money at all. After Voldemort returns, as long as he manages it properly and the Second Wizarding War is over, Albert is confident that the Ministry of Magic will Many Aurors come to him to purchase, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money by then?

  Of course, when Albert generously stated that he could sell technology, Kenneth Toller immediately shut up.

   If there is no skill to match it, what is produced is simply another matter. After all, Kenneth had already tasted a loss once, and the matter of Buffy's brain refresher showed him a face.

  Kenneth Toller dryly rejected this "good intention", and there was no reason to complain about Albert.

   This is completely in Albert's expectation. Some things look simple, but it is really not the same thing without some foundation.

  Although the business has blown, the business of Hogwarts is still going on, and students will still come to him to buy cheap amulets.

  Until one day, Albert learned from Fred and George that Kenneth was beaten up.

  In George's words: Kenneth sold fake products, but was discovered by others.

  Since the cooperation between the two parties ended, Kenneth got a batch of amulets that looked the same from somewhere, and sold them to other Muggle wizards, but they were found to be fakes.

  A talisman cost two Galleons, so the other party couldn't swallow this. He contacted a few students who also bought fake products, dragged Kenneth into the toilet and beat him up, and asked him to return the goods by the way.
