Daily Life 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 the "expensive" amulet as a prize for the championship, he could barely get together 32 contestants, which made Lee Jordan depressed for a while. He suspected that It wasn't because he was not as attractive as Albert, that no girl signed up for this 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 screwed up what Albert told him when he officially took over.

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

As time entered December, Hogwarts Castle was shrouded in snow and wind, and the owls who delivered the letter were all thinner, but there were always exceptions, and Sheila had gained a lot of weight.

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

Albert suspected that Mogg told his parents about the matter. With the enlightenedness of Daisy and Herb, it is not difficult for them to 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 Mr. Mundungus, the thief who was always trying to trick them, and 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 it has suffered for Harry and Ron. 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 and stole 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 thief who wanders in the gray area.

As a result, Mundungus was targeted by the 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 straightforward.

The Ministry of Magic employees fined Mundungus a large sum of Galleons on the grounds of missing some prohibited items, and planned to send him to Azkaban Prison for a few days.

Naturally, Mundungus Fletcher was not willing to let him go. He originally wanted to use the Confusion Charm on the employee of the Ministry of Magic when he was not paying attention, trying to fool him, but the spell bounced back.

As a result, the Mr. Thief was charged with assaulting an employee of the Ministry of Magic, and was fined two hundred Galleons, plus six months in prison in Azkaban.

What a joy.

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

How would Mundungus feel if he knew that he had fallen on Albert's amulet.

However, he also used his Garonne to make Albert's amulet famous. Because of this, wizards from the Ministry of Magic wanted to purchase similar amulets to defend against 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 a long-term wish to cooperate 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 a win-win situation, you have to eat the meat while others drink the 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 effects of most amulets don't last very long.

One year at the latest, the amulet will completely fail, and it will not affect Albert's plan to sell amulets in the future. The amulet will still 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 needed the talisman made by Albert himself, and the Ministry of Magic knew that it was reliable.

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

"I'm 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 at school, and there is no extra time to waste on these things. "

Albert yawned lazily and politely refused.

It was 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, what is made is another matter altogether.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 had no reason to complain about Albert.

This was completely in Albert's expectation. Some things looked simple, but without some basic foundation, it really wasn't the same thing.

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 had been beaten up.

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

Since the two parties ended their cooperation, 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, so 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.
