The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 739 Vinegar
"Oh my god, it's such a mess over there, haven't you caught that fugitive yet?"

Daisy put the steaming black tea in front of Herb, picked up the "Daily Prophet" on the table, flipped through the news on the front page, looked sideways at Albert, and looked up and down, as if to see that he had something to say. No injuries.

"Just ran into a little trouble."

"Little trouble? But here's what..." Daisy raised her eyebrows slightly, and read out a passage from the newspaper: "The Ministry of Magic is lax, Black is still at large, and the dementors stationed near Hogwarts failed to capture the fugitive Blake, instead, caused chaos at Hogsmeade Station due to 'routine business', and many returning students were injured.

"It's unbelievable that they let the dementors suck the joy out of the students!"

A person involved told reporters that the Ministry of Magic did not take the safety of Hogwarts students seriously at all, and that the Dementors' "routine business" caused pushing and stampede incidents at the station.

Fortunately, a student stepped forward, summoned the patron saint to drive away the dementors, and maintained order on the platform in time.

"The Auror thought that the student who drove away the dementors and kept order was obstructing the Ministry of Magic's official duties? My God, is the Ministry of Magic's so-called 'executing official duties' just watching students get hurt?" Another The parties complained to reporters.

"My child was pushed and trampled. It's unbelievable. Is this how the Ministry of Magic stationed dementors near Hogwarts to keep children safe?" an emotional parent expressed dissatisfaction.

"The brave young man who stood up to protect everyone should be commended. If it weren't for him, there would have been more terrible chaos and more students would have been hurt."

"Dementors are very evil dark creatures and they should stay away from those children," a professional said.

"The Ministry of Magic has never taken the safety of the students seriously. As early as a month ago, the dementors once lost control. They broke into the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch without authorization, causing a Quidditch match to be held. Dumbledore was very annoyed that Harry Potter fell off his broomstick and nearly died."

According to a student who did not want to be named, the dementors searched the express train at Hogwarts on the first day of school, and there was a case of sucking the happy emotions of the students, and Harry Potter fainted because of this.

It is well known that dementors can awaken people's worst memories, and Harry Potter's experience has made him less resistant to dementors and susceptible to dementors.

Daisy didn't read any further, and the whole report blamed the British Ministry of Magic.

"What's a dementor?" asked Nia, who was grooming Tom.

"A very evil dark creature that feeds on human happiness and sometimes sucks human souls. It is the guard of the Ministry of Magic's Azkaban Prison." Albert took out a piece of paper, simple He outlined the appearance of a dementor with a pen and introduced this dangerous monster to his family: "Ordinary people cannot see dementors, but they can feel their presence. When dementors appear, the surrounding temperature It will plummet, and it will be difficult for you to feel happy emotions, and the worst memory of your life will appear in your mind. Once the dementors appear in groups, a cold fog will form, and the plants will wither due to the cold. Currently , only a spell that is difficult to master can drive away those monsters."

"You're right!" Daisy looked at her son.

"Of course."

"So, the student who chased away the dementor in the newspaper is actually you, right?" Herb raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, he vaguely guessed it when he was reading the newspaper.

"I drove them away. I was also in the crowd at the time. When the dementor appeared, it caused a commotion. I almost fell over." Albert picked up the black tea, took a sip and said, "You should know It's a horrible thing to have a stampede on a crowded platform."

"Thank you for calming them down."

Herb knew that this kind of thing was difficult to do. Fear would spread, and once it spread completely, it would be out of control, not to mention that there were dementors around who could spread fear.

"how did you do it?"

"Using magic to shout loudly, it feels like shouting into their ears with a loudspeaker, making them have to calm down." Albert said lightly.

"Will people from the Ministry of Magic trouble you?" Daisy was even more worried about this issue. This report can be said to have severely slapped the Ministry of Magic in the face.

"No, I know quite a few famous wizards, and I have won two world-class championship trophies there. They are considered celebrities in the magic world. They dare not do that." Albert said with a smile : "What's more, my fists are harder than theirs, and most wizards' abilities are actually very average."

"But you can't use magic!"

"Actually, I can use magic with my bare hands now."

"Really?" Nia blinked curiously, as if she wanted Albert to perform a magic trick on her.

"Look carefully."

Albert palmed, and a gold coin appeared between his fingers.

"Are you sure it's magic?" Nia complained, "It's just an ordinary magic trick."

"Although you cannot use magic in the outside world before you become an adult, you can still use it in case of an emergency." Albert put the gold coin back in his pocket, looked at Herb and asked, "How is it over there?"

"It's fairly prosperous over there. I visited some compatriots there. Some of them plan to return to China, and some of them don't want to come back." Herb briefly talked about his trip to the East, "However, what did you say? Wrong, there are indeed many people who are worried. However, more people seem to intend to inflate housing prices in order to make a profit, and it is said that many residents are optimistic about the prospect of returning."

"Well, there will probably be signs of it next year, and housing prices will rise significantly in 95. By the summer of 97, housing prices should show a downward trend." Albert took out a notebook from his pocket and tore off a page. Pass the paper to Herb, "These two cities are also good investment places. The housing prices in the capital usually don't go down. There is no harm in buying early. However, I suggest you set up a company, find a local name, and you can give them A little share, and then controlled by you, foreigners are prone to hatred for handling these things. After all, it is only for making money, and there is no need to bear those infamy."

Albert's approach is actually very common in some countries. Most of the companies are foreign-controlled, and the management is owned by locals. He also recited the infamy.

"You are really talented in these areas." Daisy immediately noticed the benefits of this method. Fame is sometimes very important.
