The Great Writers of Hogwarts

Chapter 17 A trip to The Burrow, the first stop, Privet Drive!

In the following time, Xenophilius used a series of compliments to praise Andre, which in his opinion was an extremely genius idea, which made Andre feel embarrassed for a while.

This kind of proxy model has been used in the Muggle world for many years, and many industries are using this proxy model, and I can be praised as a genius for copying it as it is.

However, this also proves how backward the sales model of the entertainment industry in the magic world is. With the knowledge in Andre's mind, it may be possible to trigger a revolution in entertainment in the magic world centered on "The Quibbler".

At that time, as long as "The Quibbler" is made into a leading entertainment platform, there will be no need to think about sales strategies or hype hot spots as much as now.

With the resources of "The Quibbler" alone, any work can be pushed to the point where it becomes a household name in the magic world!

Thinking of the beautiful vision in his heart, Andre's eyes also showed a fiery color.

At this time, Xenophilius also fully understood the importance of a good relationship with the Weasley family-this is the key to "The Quibbler" cornering and overtaking to seize market share!
Then the two children of the Weasley brothers are the living advertisements of "The Quibbler" in the Weasley family.

If the distant relatives of the Weasley family knew that the two children, Fred and George, could earn money by acting as agents, would they not be tempted?

With this in mind, Xenophilius also resolutely agreed to Andre's proposal to invite the Weasley brothers.

"It's been several years since I visited the Weasleys, let's go, let's meet the big family."

……

At this time, the Burrow was not as happy as the Lovegood family, but was full of joy.

Mrs. Weasley, broom in hand, ran after Fred and George, cursing them bloody.

"Fred, George, your pranks have gone too far this time!"

"Sent letters to so many distant relatives, and some even used your father's name. If you don't teach you a lesson, you will be lawless!"

Fred and George looked at Mr. Weasley with distressed eyes as they jumped up and down to dodge the broom.

Usually Mr. Weasley would dissuade Madam, but this time he didn't even have the slightest intention to stop it.

Fred and George complained incessantly.

"It's miserable, my parents haven't been so angry for a long time."

"We'll have enough this time."

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have agreed to the Lovegood family brat. The brat's promise counted, why did we believe his nonsense?

This time we will be beaten in vain, I am afraid we will not get half of it, we are confused! "

At this moment, the Burrow doorbell rang, which interrupted Mrs. Weasley's movements for a while.

She gave Fred and George a hard look, and the meaning was obvious—wait for the guests to leave before cleaning you up!
At this point, Mr. Weasley had already opened the door.

When he saw Xenophilius and Andre standing at the door, Mr. Weasley was taken aback for a moment, and immediately welcomed them in.

He thought he understood what Xenophilius meant when he brought Andre to the door, and he must have come because of the prank the kid had played with Fred and George.

Mr. Weasley handed over the teacup, asked Andre and the others to sit down, and then spoke to Xenophilius.

"Mr. Lovegood, there is no need to take the child's mischief too seriously."

"Andre is not like Fred and George who are always fooling around. I think he also wants to help you sell "The Quibbler", so don't scold him too much."

Fred and George, who were forced to stand in the kitchen, listened to the words in the living room.

They muttered under their breath.

"It's not fair. We were tricked into selling "The Quibbler" for him because this kid wrote us a letter!"

"This is great. We will be beaten up by our parents when he leaves, but my father is still trying to persuade Mr. Lovegood not to be angry. What's the matter..."

Mrs. Weasley glared at them sullenly.

"Your father and I were quite tolerant the first time, the second time, and even the tenth time you played pranks."

"But Fred and George, how many times have you guys been?!"

Ron and Ginny were also huddled in the kitchen at this time to watch the fun, listening to Mrs. Weasley's criticism of Fred and George, they also snickered for a while.

At this moment, Xenophilius in the living room waved his hands again and again, looking at Andre with pride and recognition in his eyes.

"No, no, Mr. Weasley, you misunderstood. I didn't think that the things about Andre, Fred, and George were nonsense."

"According to me, Andre's decision to ask them to help promote "The Quibbler" couldn't be more clever. Your children have helped us a lot and increased our sales a lot."

"I came here this time to settle the agreed upon rewards for them."

Xenophilius' words were obviously extremely shocking. Not only did Mr. Weasley spit out a mouthful of hot tea, but even Mrs. Weasley who was preparing snacks in the kitchen almost broke a plate.

"what did you say?!"

Then, Fred and George, who were already quite depressed, became alive and lively in an instant, and rushed out of the kitchen.

"Aha, we all said that we are not fooling around this time, we are doing business!"

With an appreciative smile on his face, Xenophilius gave the two brothers a thumbs up.

"You guys have been a great help, well done."

"Come on, this is the reward you deserve."

Then, Xenophilius took out a gold Galleon and handed it to Fred and George.

When the shining golden Garen appeared, everyone in the Weasley family stared wide-eyed, including Fred and George.

The two Weasley brothers looked at each other, as long as they had a few silver Sickles, they would have no burden, and they could take them happily.

But a gold Galleon is by no means a small number. The two hesitated for a moment, but neither reached out to take it.

Mr. Weasley's expression became serious, and Mrs. Weasley hurried out of the kitchen.

"This is exaggerated, they just wrote a few letters to help a little bit."

"To be honest, this is a matter between the children, a small snack is enough, there is no need to pay for it, let alone take gold galleons.

They can't take this money. "

The attitude of the Weasleys did not surprise Xenophilius, he said to Andre.

"Andre, it's up to you to tell whether Fred and George's help is worth the Galleon."

The Weasleys were stunned, never expecting that Xenophilius would ask the child Andre to explain such a thing.

And then, something even more unexpected happened.

Andre used a very short time and clear data to explain how much benefit the Weasley brothers have brought to "The Quibbler", which is far more than a gold Galleon.

During the conversation, Andre didn't seem like a child at all, but an adult with well-spoken and logical logic, which made Mr. and Mrs. Weasley look at him solemnly.

After saying this, Andre took the Galleon and put it in Fred's hand.

"If even this kind of credit is not worthy of being rewarded with Galleons, then it will really make people think that "The Quibbler" is mean when it is spread!"

After what Andre said, the Weasleys didn't say anything, but acquiesced to Fred and George holding the Galleon.

Fred and George were full of surprises.

With this Galleon, they can free up a lot of interesting gadgets, and they are one step closer to their dream of opening their own magic item shop.

In the kitchen, Ron and Ginny saw this scene with envy in their eyes.

As the children of the Weasley family, they have enough food and clothing, but all the clothes and toys are basically old, and the pocket money they have spent over the years may not be enough for a Galleon.

Seeing that Fred and George had received a Galleon payment in such a short period of time, it was impossible not to be envious.

Not only them, even the Weasleys were a little dazed at this moment.

A Galleon was not a small amount for the Weasley family, it was enough to maintain their expenses for a long time, but Fred and George just wrote letters to promote the magazine and earned it?

Andre looked at their expressions, smiled slightly, and continued to tell the story of "The Quibbler" hoping to reach an agency cooperation with the Weasley family.

"By then, Mrs. Weasley wouldn't even have to leave the house, just by selling letters to acquaintances at home, or bringing a copy of The Quibbler to a party to earn an extra income.

Those distant relatives of the Weasley family, if they have a difficult life, can try to be our agents.

The more Quibblers sold, the more Nati achieved.

This is a matter of mutual benefit. Can Mr. and Mrs. Weasley consider it? "

The Weasleys looked at each other, never expecting that it was Andre who made such a tempting proposal in front of them.

Mrs. Weasley was almost heartbroken.

With these few children to take care of, it is difficult for her to do other work, so she can only manage housework at home.

The whole family is supported by Arthur Weasley's salary at the Ministry of Magic, which is really stretched.

If being the agent of "The Quibbler" can make money without leaving home, it can also supplement the family a little, and it won't affect her taking care of the children.

That way, maybe the kids will have decent new clothes this year.

Mrs. Weasley spoke.

"Arthur, I think..."

Mr. Weasley was also moved by this, but he still had concerns about this never-before-seen pattern.

Andre hit the railway while it was hot.

"Actually, as far as I know, this sales agent model is already extremely mature in the Muggle world."

"This time we invited Fred and George to London for a few days, and we wanted them to experience the potential of this model for themselves."

"If you two feel that you can't make up your mind for the time being, why don't we discuss it after Fred and George bring back what they have seen and heard in London?"

After the Weasleys looked at each other, they were finally persuaded by Andre.

They nodded and allowed Fred and George to follow the Lovegoods to London.

The children of the Weasley family looked dumbfounded at the way Andre and the Weasleys talked.

They had never seen a child able to negotiate with an adult wizard like this, and even seemed to take the initiative.

Ron's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Andre, his name is Andre..."

"Simply cool!"

"My God, if I hadn't been invited, I'd have liked to go to London with him."

Ginny looked at Andre's leaving figure, her eyes were also shining, she nodded subtly, echoing Ron's words.

"He's so handsome..."

And it is precisely because of Andre's previous trip to the Burrow that Fred and George came to Lovegood's house with their suitcases.

After being busy for a while, everyone finally took all the things that should be brought.

Xenophilius let out a long breath.

"It's finally packed, and it's time for us to go."

"According to what Andre said, let's treat ourselves as Muggles this time and experience the Muggle world."

"Then we won't be staying in the Leaky Cauldron, but in a Muggle hotel.

Let me look at the map, where should we go first? "

A strange look flashed in Andre's eyes, he pointed to the map, and gave his own suggestion.

"The first stop is not in a hurry to go to the city of London, how about going to Surrey, southwest of the suburbs of London?
No. 4 Privet Drive in Little Whinging is there, very close to London, and it is also the place where "Harry Potter" begins.

I think since J. K. Rowling wrote this place name on purpose, maybe there can be a little surprise there. "

After Xenophilius was stunned for a moment, a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"Yes!"

"Generally, such place names that appear in reality are closer to the author's place of residence. Judging from the beginning of "Harry Potter", J.K. Rowling is very familiar with that place."

"We might meet J.K. Rowling there!

Then it's settled, the first stop is Surrey! "

Andre's mouth curled into a smile.

I'm afraid Xenophilius will be disappointed this trip, he will definitely not find JK Rowling.

But as compensation, it would be nice to meet Harry Potter, the famous savior of the wizarding world.

Whether "The Quibbler" can turn troubles into opportunities this time may depend on this savior.

Thinking of the scenes that might appear in the magic world next, Andre's eyes couldn't help showing excitement.

He fiddled with the camera in his hand.

"Mr. Savior Potter, I first wish us a happy cooperation."
