Today is the last day of their stay on campus, and students returning home will take the Hogwarts train tomorrow back to King’s Cross Station in London.

When Ye Ting arrived at the Great Hall, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were busy arranging Christmas decorations, and he saw Hagrid walking in with a large fir tree, and the needles were touched everywhere.

“Ah, Hagrid, the last tree came in too—put it in the corner over there, okay?” Professor McGonagall said casually.

The auditorium looks beautiful and spectacular. The walls were covered with weeping ribbons of holly and mistletoe, and twelve towering Christmas trees were erected throughout the room, some with shining Xiaoice pillars and others with hundreds of candles twinkling.

Unfortunately, none of this had anything to do with him, although he himself was looking forward to staying at Hogwarts during the holidays, attending Christmas parties, and tasting the unique food of Christmas—to be honest, Hogwarts food has always been both hearty and delicious, far exceeding the unbearable indigenous cuisine of British Muggles.

But he also has his own money-making scheme.

Leaving Hogwarts during school days was quite a hassle, not only through long journeys – no apparitions could be used at Hogwarts – but also to avoid the watchful images of the castle, statues, ghosts, professors, and creatures of the Forbidden Forest, and he had to return before the next morning, which was completely embarrassing.

Therefore, the Christmas holiday is his only chance, the opportunity to short the yen under the Plaza Accord in Japan a few years ago, the opportunity to short oil in the Gulf War at the beginning of the year, and the time for Soros to short the pound next year is completely too late after the start of school in September, and all such a major event as the collapse of the Soviet Union must be seized.

Early the next morning, he boarded the Hogwarts Express and set out on his journey back to London.

His three female friends, Hermione Granger, Zhang Qiu, and Penelo Clifft, didn’t stay at school during the holidays, so at King’s Cross Station, he and the three of them hugged each other goodbye.

“Don’t forget to write back to us.” Penelope reluctantly said to him: “I know you don’t have an owl, but I will write to you, and Christmas presents.” ”

“Of course, I remember.” Ye Ting smiled and nodded, feeling some warmth in his heart.

In the end, each of the three girls secretly gave him a kiss while no one was paying attention.

Ye Ting was both moved and a little helpless in this regard, and there was a little excitement and relief in his heart.

It seems that he is destined to be a man with deep sins, but what about him.

……

After bidding farewell to the three girls, Ye Ting was ready to get down to business.

For this operation, he had already prepared well: large doses of petrochemical potions, antidotes to petrochemical potions, and a whole crucible of semi-finished compound decoctions – it was he and Oriana who had sneaked into Snape’s private storage room some time ago, stole the herbs, and then made them in the Room of Requirement.

Originally, the petrification potion was completely redundant, after all, there was still the existence of the spell of the petrification spell.

However, Ye Ting felt that his mana was not strong enough, and his mastery of the petrification spell was not deep enough, so the petrification spell did not last long enough, so he had to use a potion to replace the effect of the spell.

These things were all cast a shrinking spell and hidden in the pocket of his cloak.

After leaving King’s Cross Station, he did not immediately return to the Woods orphanage, but went directly to London Airport.

Using the Confusion Charm and the Illusion Charm, he mixed in with a plane bound for New York.

Of course, due to the presence of the trace, underage wizards will be sensed by the Ministry of Magic after using the spell outside the school, and then the young wizard who uses the spell will receive a letter from the Ministry of Magic warning, and in serious cases, it may even let the Auror come to the door.

But the trail is not without flaws.

According to Ye Ting’s analysis, the trace cannot sense which little wizard used magic, and its principle is to sense the position of the little wizard when he uses magic.

When young wizards lived in Muggle households, since the positions of young wizards were quite scattered and their parents were not magical, it was easy for the Ministry of Magic to determine the identity of the violator by the home address of the young wizard.

And when the little wizard who illegally uses the spell is in a wizard family, it is not so easy to determine the identity of the little wizard through the trace, but it doesn’t matter, because the wizard’s law stipulates that for the minor wizards of such a family, their illegal use of magic must be supervised by their parents.

The reason why Ye Ting was able to come to this conclusion came from the fact that Harry Potter was framed during the summer vacation of the first semester in the original book: it was Dobby who obviously used magic, but the Ministry of Magic insisted that Harry used magic and sent him warning letters one after another.

This proves that the Ministry of Magic can only identify the location and not the user.

And now, Ye Ting has already prepared.

What he chose to mix with was a plane that was about to depart, so when the Aurors rushed to the airport through the phantom apparition, the plane had already taken off, and Ye Ting had already left the crime scene and flew out a long way.

The Aurors looked around the airport in a daze, but found nothing. As a result, the nearby Muggles were taken aback by their sudden appearance – who would have thought that a minor wizard would dare to use magic in public.

In the past events they dealt with, due to their location in the Muggle world, young wizards often secretly cast spells in secret places to prevent being discovered as monsters, while Aurors appeared directly at the scene of the incident through phantom manifestations and could capture the perpetrators on the spot.

But this time they ran into an accident.

Some Muggles thought they were hallucinating, some Muggles ran away in fright, and some Muggles excitedly stepped forward to ask questions – if there were smartphones in this era, pictures and videos of Aurors would have appeared on social media and been watched by Muggle netizens.

The next step is the large-scale oblivion curse, and it is estimated that the Minister of Magic will also notify the British Prime Minister to cooperate in controlling the fishing boat – after all, the accident place is the airport lounge, and the flow of people here is too large. Perhaps there are also witnesses who have left by plane, if not handled well, let the incident further ferment, maybe there will be one more famous unsolved mystery in the world.

As for Ye Ting, he didn’t know how much trouble his chicken feathers had caused the Ministry of Magic and the British government, and he was on his way to New York at this time.

Now he is already a fish leap in the sea, and the sky is high and birds fly, because the trace can only be effective in the UK, that is, after he leaves the country, he can use magic casually, and the British Ministry of Magic can’t control him at all.

As for the ministries of magic in other countries – at least there is no international sharing of trace information.

The flight lasted eight hours, and by the time the plane arrived in New York, it was already dark. But Ye Ting didn’t immediately deal with trivial matters such as finding a place to live or solving dinner—he was pressed for time now.

The feast of the collapse of the Soviet Union was about to begin, most of the people had already entered, and he had to hurry.

First of all, the first step is to solve the identity problem, of course he can’t do this through his own identity, because he is too young and has no original funds, even with the empty gloves white wolf method nowhere to start.

His solution was to find someone who was big enough to carry out his project, who worked financially, had enough credibility and wealth, and was currently single or living alone.

This is not to say that Ye Ting wants to plunder other people’s property, he is not so tasteless, he feels that robbing Muggles with magic is neither technical nor in line with his identity – what is the future law god robbing mortals?

He wanted to choose such a person because he needed a loan – and his best bet was to make money by making money through loans.

As for being single and living alone, it’s even simpler: just use magic to get the target himself, and putting it in a family and falsifying their memories at the same time will be a big trouble, and few people will believe in such a thing as group hallucinations.

And the best place to find such a single, credible and wealthy financial worker is Wall Street in New York.
