New Professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 247 Investment

"Werewolves basically don't want to get involved in this war too much. The attitude of the giants is still unclear, and the goblins are leaning towards the dark wizard camp." Xia Ran pondered, "The dementors have long since surrendered to Voldemort, and the same is almost true for vampires. "

"It seems that our situation is still a bit difficult."

Professor McGonagall said: "Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic and us have formed an alliance at this time, and we are on the same camp and on the same line. If Fudge is still in power..."

She couldn't help but shudder as she spoke, obviously thinking of all the obstacles and obstacles in the past year.

Cornelius Fudge's sentence was also very satisfying.

"How about..." Sirius said, "We just take down Gringotts and drive out all the goblins!"

"No!" Xia Ran objected, "The number of goblins is not small, and the goblins' territory is Gringotts, and there is no other place. If the plan is implemented like this, the goblins will inevitably break out in a collective uprising. This will really directly affect the situation. They're siding with the dark wizards."

"It really doesn't have to be so extreme." Dumbledore also said.

Bill said: "I observed the situation in Gringotts. The goblins just have this tendency, but they are actually similar to werewolves. They don't want to get too involved in the war between black and white wizards. Anyway, they only have Gringotts." Territory, no matter who wins, their basic territory will not change, and it is impossible to change, unless one party completely annihilates the goblin race!"

"It's just that the mysterious man's promise of freedom still makes them more excited."

"Genocide is unlikely," Dumbledore said, "but we must make early plans for the record that the goblins will really turn to the side of the dark wizards at the critical moment."

"I have consciously or unconsciously asked many curse breakers in Gringotts. Their attitude is consistent with that of the Ministry of Magic. They also agree with the philosophy of our Order of the Phoenix. Almost no one is willing to join the dark wizards." Bill smiled, " So if there is a goblin rebellion, they will first have to pass the level of our curse breakers."

Subsequently, a group of people discussed for a while about the dark creature races in the magic world and made various targeted measures.

Don’t worry about winning, think about defeat first.

"Kingsley, please tell Amelia about these measures and ask for her opinion." Dumbledore finally said. Now the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic are allied. Although Dumbledore is the most powerful white wizard, they are on both sides. Although he is a leader-level figure, he still does not want to steal the limelight from the Ministry of Magic. He hopes to have more exchanges with the Ministry of Magic and work together to fight against Voldemort and the dark wizards.

After the meeting, Xia Ran originally wanted to say a few words and give some advice to Mundungus, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do it.

In the original time and space, the reason why Harry was attacked by dementors during the summer vacation was because Fudge was still in power at the Ministry of Magic. Umbridge privately ordered the dementors to attack Harry. Now that Fudge is in prison, Umbridge is also under attack. After being imprisoned in Azkaban Prison, all the Dementors surrendered to Voldemort. According to Voldemort, Harry must deal with Harry's temper personally. How could it be possible for Dementors to attack Privet Drive?

Moreover, the member of the Order of the Phoenix who secretly cared for Harry was not just Mundungus, but also Mrs. Figg. Although she was a squib, she actually cared more about him than Mundungus.

"Xia Ran, what's the matter?" Mundungus caught Xia Ran's gaze.

Xia Ran shook her head and replied: "Nothing."

"By the way, Sirius, I have something to ask your opinion on." Mrs. Weasley said, clearing her throat, "It's like this. Several children want to live here for a while during the summer vacation. They want to contribute to the Order of the Phoenix. Do your best for the job...Well, if you don't want to--their request really makes trouble--I will just..."

"Welcome!" Sirius smiled, "I welcome you warmly! We just need someone to help clean this old house."

"They will be happy." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile.

Sure enough, when Xia Ran came to the Black Mansion again a few days later, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, and even Hermione were all here.

"Hello, Professor." Hermione explained with a smile, "I stayed with my parents at home for a week - when I went home during the summer vacation, I bought a lot of things in Hogsmeade. My parents were very happy. I saw so many interesting snacks - I felt bored, so I went to the Burrow, and then we went to Grimmauld Place together."

"I wonder when Harry can come?" Ron said excitedly, "The feeling of staying at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters is just different from being at home!"

Xia Ran smiled and said, "You will know how boring it is after a while."

"Bored? No, no! We find it very interesting!" George said.

"How is the development of your prank products going?" Xia Ran asked.

Fred smiled and said: "Professor, do you want to buy some? We have a lot of orders. Wizards inside and outside the school have written letters to order." Suddenly he lowered his voice and said, "By the way, don't tell mom, she has been You don’t want us to do this kind of thing!”

"It's better, Dad, let us make our own decisions." George whispered.

Ron said depressedly: "You even charge your own brother for taking things away..."

"My dear brother," George said, "When doing business, you always have to clearly mark the price, so that it can last for a long time and be really prosperous, right?"

Ginny laughed.

"You are about to graduate, what are your plans then? Open a joke merchandise store in Diagon Alley?" Xia Ran asked again.

Fred and George looked at each other, scratched their heads, feeling distressed, and said, "That's what we planned, but the location in Diagon Alley is too good, the rent is very high, we don't have that much money, and our mother is not willing to support us. , she just wants us to work in the Ministry of Magic."

"I'll invest you a thousand galleons." Xia Ran smiled, "It's enough for you to rent a store in Diagon Alley. People are panicking right now, and rents have declined to varying degrees."

"real?"

"Professor, you didn't lie to us, did you?!"

The twin brothers' eyes instantly lit up.

Ginny was surprised: "Professor, do you really want to invest in Fred and George?"

"I think your talent - your talent in pranks - is still very good." Xia Ran smiled, "By the way, don't tell your mother, it doesn't matter if Mr. Weasley knows."

"Don't worry, professor, we won't tell." The two brothers said together, looking very excited. Now they will have the funds to open a store after graduation. They were still worried about this before.

A few days later, when Xia Ran came over again, he gave the bag of Galleons that Bill had asked Bill to take out from Gringotts to Fred and George.

Bill was surprised when he saw it.

"Professor, what are you..."

"Bill, this is Professor Frémont investing in our joke shop." Fred said, carrying the bag upstairs with George.

"By the way, Bill, how are you and Fleur?" Xia Ran asked.

Bill blushed and smiled awkwardly: "She is already working at Gringotts. I am helping her with English lessons. She is studying very seriously."

Ginny snickered and said, "Bill has a crush on Fleur."
