Homecoming from Hogwarts

When everyone present heard Brian say that he would help them solve their business problems, they realized that things were really difficult.

Brian wanted to make them give an explanation for the large-scale shutdown under the watchful eyes of the entire wizarding world.

He would not let them go without a reasonable explanation.

Narcissa frowned slightly, undecided.

Before the Dark Lord was resurrected, her husband sent a letter to Brian, and it was self-evident what that letter meant.

Although Lucius never mentioned to him that he and Brian had communicated again, she knew that her husband had actually secretly joined Brian's camp.

But at the same time, they still need to show loyalty in front of the Dark Lord.

Therefore, in an occasion like today, she had to confront Brian head-on. Even if she had to keep the workshop open in the end, she had to make herself appear to have no choice but to agree first.

"If the Ministry is really going to do anything for us."

After a moment's silence, Narcissa raised her head and bowed gracefully.

"Mr. Brian, our business is indeed in trouble and there are some difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Amosta smiled and held out his hand in invitation.
"You are welcome, Mrs. Malfoy."

The business empire built by the Malfoy family is one of the best even among many pure-bloods.

Seeing Narcissa Malfoy come forward, the wizards present at the meeting breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her expectantly.

"The decline in orders, Mr. Blaine—"

In her familiar field, Narcissa showed strong confidence.

"You know, ever since the return of the mysterious man, the British wizarding world has been in turmoil, and even the wizarding civilizations of European countries have been impacted as a result.

Magical civilizations around the world are concerned about the current situation facing the British wizarding world. They are afraid that we will not be able to deliver the goods in time, so that the deposit they paid to us will be wasted.
Therefore, buyers who used to buy goods from us would rather pay a higher price to buy inferior goods.

Without new orders, the workshop cannot operate. There is nothing we can do, Mr. Braine."

People immediately turned their eyes to Amosta Blaine to see what he was going to say.

“That sounds.”

Hermione looked at Sirius hesitantly.

"Doesn't look like an excuse, what do you think, Sirius?"

"If it were Remus, he might be able to answer your question, Hermione—"

Sirius looked unhappy.

"I'm not very good at business."

Everyone present looked at Brian cautiously.

how to say
What Mrs. Malfoy said was true, but not entirely.

The workshops under their names are well-known throughout the world. For example, the production of Floo powder is unparalleled in the global wizarding world.

So, although the turbulent situation has affected operations, it is not that bad.

In essence, the closure of the workshop was caused by the struggle between Brian and the mysterious man, and those who attended the meeting did not want the workshop to be closed down deep in their hearts.

After all, who has a grudge against the golden Garlon?

"Anything else, Mrs. Malfoy?"

The calm smile on Amosta's face put Narcissa in a trance.

She had the illusion that Brian seemed to want her to say something more!
"The workshop is running low on funds, Mr. Braine—"

Pursing her lips, Narcissa continued, and her words won another wave of approval.

"Operating funds. Does she mean that the Malfoy family is out of money?!"

Harry looked sinister.

"How ridiculous! I bet the Malfoy family has more gold stored in Gringotts than in the Ministry of Magic's vault!" "Shameless lie!"

Some of the onlookers at the square shouted loudly,
"Who would believe this? Oh, you who run so many workshops are out of money!"

For a time, criticism was rampant!

"It was quite some time before we decided to temporarily close the workshop—"

Narcissa raised her voice.

"Many workshops under the name of the Malfoy family have entered a state of continuous losses!
We need to pay taxes to the Ministry of Magic, pay our workers salaries, and pay suppliers of raw materials, but we can't get new orders. You know, every day we work unemployed costs us a huge price.

Therefore, in order to avoid greater losses, after careful consideration, the Malfoy family decided to temporarily close the workshop.

We will resume production when the situation stabilizes and the world's magical civilization regains confidence in the British wizarding community."

"Our situation is much worse, Mr. Blaine—"

Callum, the representative of the Greengrass family, stood up again.

"The Ministry claims that Mr. Greengrass is a Death Eater loyal to You-Know-Who. Oh, I have no comment on this, but I believe you all know that this is a very serious blow to the family's reputation!

Partners who used to have a good relationship with us no longer trust us. I suspect that even if the turbulent situation is completely stabilized one day and the wizarding world resumes prosperity, people will no longer trust our workshop because of this. "

Callum turned around and faced the reporter's camera, three parts true and seven parts false.

"It is very likely that our workshop will never recover from this, so we are forced to make a choice!"

"Mr. Brian, you know that our workshop is the property of the Nott family--"

The wizard with slicked-back hair also stood up, his eyes full of sorrow.

"You know, the Nott family is in even worse shape than the Greengrass family!"

This is true.

Old Greengrass is still wanted, and old Nott just moved into the 'new house' today.

Amosta kept smiling as he thought with a hint of evil humor.

Everyone attending the conference is either directly affiliated with a family among the twenty-eight pure-blood clans, or is already inextricably linked with those families in some roundabout way.

What they have in common is that they all became Voldemort's minions.

The biggest dilemma currently facing the Ministry of Magic is actually the impact of the contest between Amosta and Voldemort on another battlefield.

However, the outcome of this contest was not in doubt from the very beginning.

Because, from the beginning to the end, the situation was under the control of Amosstar. Even Voldemort's conscious opening of this battlefield was induced by Amosstar.

The resources in the hands of these pure-blood families are the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the wizarding world.

Amosta wanted to change this situation, which led to the current scene.

The spokespersons of the various forces involved were no longer reserved and rushed to "complain", as if it was a great miracle that their workshops could last this long!

Amosta remained patient and listened to complaints from all sides.

Generally speaking, it can be attributed to three aspects.

Lack of orders, lack of operating funds, lack of security.

Of course, this was the only reason they could think of for closing the workshop in the short term. Both parties in the negotiations knew very well that these were just excuses.

The protesters looked increasingly confused as they listened to the gentlemen's complaints.

It seemed that these old masters who used to live in a high position had a harder time than them, as if they were being unreasonable and causing trouble!
"alright--"

When these people could no longer come up with a suitable excuse, Amosta raised a hand to stop them from continuing.

"I understand all the information you have provided. Now, let's solve these problems—" (End of this chapter)
