The Little Superman of Hogwarts
#238 - Chapter 238 [Sponsor]
At Hogwarts, everyone staying at the school during the summer began preparing for the Triwizard Tournament.
However, at the same time, Azkaban had become a complete mess.
Minister of Magic Fudge had arrived on the scene an hour earlier, and he looked at the empty cages in distress, unsure of what to do.
"Why did this happen? What the hell have you done?!" The Minister of Magic's roar echoed throughout Azkaban prison.
Standing before Fudge were about a dozen men and women—all with dejected faces. The scene was reminiscent of a classic movie—'Downfall'.
Although the Ministry of Magic tried its best to cover up the news, the number of escaped prisoners was simply too large. Almost all of the Death Eaters had escaped from the prison.
You should know that last summer, Sirius Black caused a great uproar by escaping alone, let alone the fact that more than just one or two had escaped this time. Almost all of Voldemort's confidants had fled.
In the original story, this event should have occurred in early 1996, the year the Order of the Phoenix was re-established, but now it's only mid-1994…
As for how this matter was exposed, it was naturally inseparable from Keli, Hermione, and Ginny.
As everyone knows, Luna's father is the editor of 'The Quibbler' magazine. The most common and favorite news of this magazine is to expose all kinds of negative emotions.
When Keli confirmed the actual situation of Azkaban and determined that a dozen Death Eaters had escaped, Keli used his superhuman brain to write a passionate news article and sent it to Luna's father overnight.
When Luna's father received this news article, he thought Keli was joking until Keli sent the photos and videos from inside Azkaban, which finally convinced Luna's father.
Thus, 'The Quibbler' magazine published an explosive news story—Dozens of Death Eaters Escaped!
The subtitle was—This is the largest escape from Azkaban prison since its construction! You should know that these people are all vicious criminals!
In the beginning, not many people believed it because this magazine often published false news just to create hype.
However, just a few hours later, the news reached the Ministry of Magic. The relevant heads of the Ministry of Magic were almost scared to death, and then, the Ministry of Magic's supervisor flew directly to Azkaban prison.
Then he discovered that it was really as the magazine said. The Dementors, although still working, ignored those who had escaped, as if someone had controlled their minds.
So, in the next few hours, the entire Ministry of Magic was in turmoil, and almost all Aurors ran to Azkaban prison.
They dug three feet into the ground of the prison, trying to find any clues.
At the same time, wizards proficient in soul magic were sought out by the Minister of Magic. They wanted to dissect the Dementors.
The current state of the Dementors was obviously abnormal. In the past, although they occasionally offended some supervisors, at least they were obedient.
Now, the Dementors were acting numb and disobedient.
How could the news confirming the escape be released? After it came out, the entire magical world of Great Britain was almost shaken.
However, the Minister of Magic was, after all, an old fox. He quickly contacted other newspapers and magazines to dilute the news of the escape.
The rhetoric in those magazines looked unusually familiar, such as:
[Although they escaped, they have been imprisoned for decades, and they have become better!]
[The escape of the prisoners has nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic. Obviously, this is a conspiracy by the Dementors!]
[Under the leadership of the Minister of Magic, the Aurors have taken over Azkaban prison. Currently, the prisoners in the prison are in a stable emotional state.]
To be honest, Keli almost laughed out loud when he saw these reports.
He couldn't help but think of a famous TV series, 'Yes, Prime Minister!'
In this TV series, the male protagonist once had a very classic four-step theory:
[First stage, we declare that nothing has happened!
Second stage, we say maybe something happened, but we shouldn't take action!
Third stage, say maybe we should take action, but we can't do anything!
Fourth stage, maybe we could have done something in the beginning, but now it's too late!]
Yes, what a perfect tactic. It can be seen from these magazines that things are still in the second stage.
The prisoners of Azkaban have escaped, and we also know it, but these prisoners have become harmless, so we don't need to take any action.
When Keli talked about this matter, he bet with Hermione and Ginny, predicting that 'The Daily Prophet' would enter the third step in about two days at the latest.
"I guess that newspaper will say—'Because there are not enough Aurors, we cannot send special personnel to track them down now, but please rest assured, everyone, we are still safe!'" Keli said with a smile.
Hermione and Ginny witnessed almost the entire process, and they felt that Keli was right, so no one was willing to bet with Keli.
All in all, this escape from Azkaban prison caused a major shock to the Ministry of Magic and also caused turmoil in the entire British magical world.
The ongoing Quidditch World Cup was also severely affected. Many spectators, after hearing that the Death Eaters had escaped, flew out of Britain overnight and returned to their hometowns.
Of course, for most wizards, escaping quickly is terrible, but the idea of 'eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die' is more popular. So the Quidditch World Cup went on as usual.
During this period of chaos in the Ministry of Magic, the arrangements for the Triwizard Tournament were proceeding in an orderly manner.
First of all, the organizing committee, that is, Keli and others, began to look through all the historical data of the Triwizard Tournament, screening some possible competition topics.
In the original story, the three tasks of the Triwizard Tournament were—
[The first task of the competition is to retrieve the golden egg from the dragon, in order to test the courage of the contestants, and it must be completed in front of other students and the jury. When completing the competition project, the champions must not ask for or accept any help from their teachers. When facing the first round of challenges, the only weapon in the champion's hand is his wand.
The second task of the competition is to rescue the hostages from the merpeople. In the original story, Harry used some potions and some spells to ensure that he could breathe underwater in order to win this level.
The third task of the competition is to find the Triwizard Cup in the maze made of hedges.]
Originally, the maze treasure hunt game was very creative. It was neither very violent nor very unbalanced. It was indeed a rare good game.
Unfortunately, the maze treasure hunt in the original story eventually became a maze to send people to their deaths.
The handsome hunk Cedric lost his job because of this.
But thinking about it carefully, although Harry Potter is very miserable, he is not as tragic as Cedric.
Because what Cedric lost was a person's most precious life.
Outside is a complete mess, and although Hogwarts is slightly better, it's not much better.
Because the preparation work for the Triwizard Tournament has entered the most critical stage—which is also the most incredible thing for Klee.
"What does this mean? What are you talking about?" Klee suddenly realized what kind of mistake the wizards had made. How many centuries ago did their thinking stay?
"I just said that our total budget is about 55,000 Galleons, with each school contributing 10,000 Galleons, and the remaining part will be supplemented by the Ministry of Magic!" This was said by an official from the Ministry of Magic.
Now they want to prepare the budget—this makes Klee feel completely incredible.
Aren't we organizing a large competition? There are so many spectators, and many spectators from other schools may come. Why doesn't anyone think about selling tickets or getting sponsorships?
Hogsmeade Village has so many shops, and even Diagon Alley has so many rich shops. These are all excellent sources of financial income. What can 50,000 Galleons do?
It sounds like 50,000 is a lot, but for a large competition, it's just a drop in the bucket.
A decent set of clothes would cost at least 20 Galleons. If you prepare a good set of clothes for each judge and service person, as well as some rulers and tools, it would cost almost 8,000 Galleons.
You also need to find outside reporters to pay attention to and promote the event.
Based on this budget, it's no wonder that the final prize money for the Triwizard Cup is only 1,000 Galleons. With such a small budget, it's already tight to allocate 1,000.
"Of course we can't just use these 55,000 Galleons! What can that do?" Klee said sarcastically.
"You brat, do you know how much 55,000 Galleons is? They can bury you! Do you know that!" Another member of the Ministry of Magic also felt that Klee was just looking for trouble.
Klee was very helpless…
So he picked up the small suitcase he was carrying.
"Watch out! Poor gentlemen and ladies!" Klee opened the box and then gently dumped it on the table.
Only a rustling sound could be heard, deafening.
Accompanying the rustling sound was piece after piece of gold coins, tens of thousands of gold coins pouring out of the box!
All the wizards present were stunned—the only people who were relatively calm were Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Klee, Hermione, and Ginny.
After seeing these gold coins, Hagrid's eyes almost popped out of their sockets! Although his math is terrible, he immediately judged based on his intuition that the gold coins on the table and on the ground alone exceeded 100,000.
Cutting Hagrid into pieces and selling him by the pound wouldn't fetch that price!
Hagrid had also heard some legends at school, saying that Klee was a real big shot, but he had never imagined that the so-called big shot could be so rich—at this time, he couldn't help but wonder, if the entire Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was packaged and sold, could it be exchanged for so many gold coins?
The six teachers from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were completely speechless. Their mouths were open like toad mouths after the rain.
The three staff members of the Ministry of Magic were even more shocked. What did they see? An ordinary Hogwarts student suddenly poured out about 100,000 gold coins from the bag he was carrying!
This scene was a bit like the scene in "Hello Mr. Billionaire" where Shen Teng saw 1 billion RMB for the first time—a bit funny, a bit humorous—full of dramatic color.
The only two calm people among the teachers were Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape.
Professor McGonagall said: [That's it? I saw this scene three years ago, small potatoes!]
Professor Snape said expressionlessly: [You stupid fools, let you feel the little shock that belongs to Hogwarts! Great Poverty Spell!]
Well, compared to these 100,000 Galleons, these people are indeed very poor.
After Klee showed these gold coins, no one had any opinions on Klee—perhaps this is the magic of money!
All the organizing committee members sat down quietly, waiting for Klee's arrangements regarding money.
So, before the budget was determined, everyone was sent out to solicit sponsorships.
Under Klee's earnest teachings, everyone's mouths were as if smeared with honey—[Sir, you see, this advertising space is our largest advertising space for the opening ceremony. At that time, dozens of officials, including the Minister of Magic, will participate!]
For example… [Beauty, do you know? We can put your cosmetics advertisement at the end of the Goblet of Fire! The flames of the Goblet of Fire will reflect the appearance of your cosmetics! Is that enough! Everyone!]
As the saying goes, hard work pays off. In just one week, the organizing committee members pulled in more than 40,000 Galleons in sponsorship.
Of course, the biggest sponsor now is Klee.
The Arcane Association has invented many interesting little gadgets in the past six months.
Some of them can be put into production. Klee will create a brand in the magical world and fix it, and produce and sell these things for a long time.
"I think our brand should be called [H\u0026G]. You know? In the Muggle world, there is a famous brand called Pantene. Their English name is P\u0026G. Maybe after we create this brand, we can become a chain company spanning the world like this company!"
Hermione and Ginny instantly understood! Both of them widened their eyes.
Obviously, the abbreviation of this brand comes from Hermione and Ginny!
"Sounds not bad!" Ginny replied proactively.
"You have some conscience!" Hermione punched Klee hard.
Klee estimated that this blow must have had more than 400 tons of impact.
"Ah… I'm dead!" Klee closed his eyes and fell to the ground with a thud: "Only a kiss will wake me up!"
"Pfft… Do you think you are Sleeping Beauty?" Hermione sarcastically said: "Ginny, let's go eat! When we come back, let's buy a coffin and put this corpse in it!"
"Hahahaha…"
