Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

In the later stage, as long as you maintain the popularity, you can stir it up a bit and make a lot of money even without doing anything.

The easiest and most convenient way to make money.

Write novels - sell well - build a brand - sell peripheral products. This was the path Dudley had planned from the beginning. It was planned because he couldn't go to Hogwarts, although he really wanted to go to Hogwarts to study magic.

In the previous life, I was always busy struggling for a living, so I can’t worry about money in this life.

Even if I can't get into magic school, at least I want to achieve financial freedom.

Especially in the technological age, the productivity of the Muggle world is no worse than that of the wizarding world.

Technology actually poses a great threat to spellcasters like wizards. Take other worlds as an example, such as FATE in the Type-Moon world, where Kiritsugu Emiya used a sniper rifle, a pack of bombs, and an origin bullet to make the elite magicians flee in panic.

In fact, Dudley has always been curious about one question: can guns kill wizards?

At least in the Type-Moon world, bullets can kill magicians.

Have a chance to try it.

Jimmy did not agree to Dudley immediately, but tentatively asked, "Teacher Jerry, can you give me some time to think about it?"

In fact, he was very willing to do so in his heart. After all, he was just working for a publishing house. If the publishing house made a lot of money, they would at most give him a bigger bonus, but the bulk of the money would still go into the pockets of those above them.

It’s different if you follow Teacher Jerry. Judging from the current popularity of "The Lord of the Rings", even a little bit of it can lead to the peak of your life.

But he couldn't tell if Dudley was serious or just talking.

Dudley nodded and gave the other party some time to think about it. He would definitely agree in the end.

No one has trouble with money.

There then followed an intense but friendly negotiation between the two over the division of the third volume of The Lord of the Rings.

The profit sharing ratio was finally determined.

As a result, both parties were very satisfied and ended the negotiation happily.

Dudley: "It's a pleasure working with you."

Jimmy: “It’s been a pleasure working with you.”

After watching Jimmy get up, Dudley drank the milk in the cup.

Dudley didn't really like the taste of coffee, whether it was Italian or American.

So the guy went to the coffee shop and ordered a glass of milk.

According to him, he is still growing and needs to consume more meat, eggs and milk.

Well, this guy who is nearly 11 meters tall is only years old and is indeed still growing.

A few days later, Dudley received a reply from Jimmy, saying that he was willing to follow Dudley.

So, one contributed money and the other contributed labor, and soon they acquired a factory and started selling "Lord of the Rings" peripherals.

The result was as Dudley expected. It became a best-seller in just one month. The most popular products were the derivative products of the three main characters, the Hobbit. Of course, the elf prince was more popular with girls.

This already popular work has become known to more people who didn't know about it before thanks to the hot sales of these peripheral products.

With these two complementary elements, The Lord of the Rings quickly became a phenomenal work.

Chapter 15 Dear Mr. Gargamel (Please collect, read and vote)

Time is like a wild donkey; once it starts running, it never stops.

Summer vacation (late June) is coming soon.

As long as we get through this summer vacation, it will be September, which is the time for new students to enter school.

As expected, Dudley is going to Smeltings Middle School, Vernon's alma mater. Although Penny thinks that Dudley should be able to go to a better school with his grades, Vernon insists on letting Dudley go to his alma mater.

As for Harry, Mr. and Mrs. Dursley originally planned to send him to a comprehensive high school - Stonewall School.

Because the price is cheap and Harry's grades are not outstanding, it would be a waste to send him to a good school.

However, after careful consideration, the couple decided to send him and Dudley to Smelting Middle School.

Harry was very happy to hear that he could go to school with his older cousin again.

To be honest, the school uniform of Smelting High School is quite ugly.

A maroon tailcoat, orange short knickers, a straw hat called a flat, and a knotty cane.

It was funny no matter how you looked at it, and Dudley didn't like it anyway.

Men should wear black overalls.

Harry was quite looking forward to it, as he had never worn a tuxedo before.

Today is June 6rd, Dudley's birthday, but Dudley has no time to take care of the pile of presents that is as high as a mountain.

"Harry, help me open the presents when you have time. I have to go out for a while."

Dudley packed his clothes in a hurry, picked up a gift from the mountain of gifts, and said to Harry, "If they ask, just tell them I've made an appointment with my friends to play ball, and I'll be back at noon."

Originally, on Dudley's birthday, the Dursleys were going to take him out for a whole day of fun.

But Dudley could only spare half a day.

This is because the whole family is going to the zoo in the afternoon.

"Brother D, where are you going again?"

"Of course, I'll bring you a Gandalf figurine when I come back."

In the sales of "Lord of the Rings" peripheral products, apart from the Hogbit trio and the Elf Prince, the most popular character is the white wizard Gandalf. Of course, there are also some people who like Saruman.

"it is good!"

Harry knew what Dudley was going to do. He knew many of Dudley's secrets. After all, Dudley never avoided him when doing these things.

Harry was completely in awe of his older cousin.

Whether it's sports, studying, or even starting his own company, he's the best at everything he does.

Dudley had promised him that if he could complete his studies successfully, he would hire him as a supervisor in the company, and Harry was looking forward to it very much.

Harry was currently struggling with a piece of bacon on the dining table.

Smoked bacon is a rare delicacy for the English.

For example, Harry ate with gusto.

This was one of Dudley's favorite meals when he wasn't cooking.

But for Dali, it's not as delicious as a piece of salt-fried chicken breast with a little chili powder.

"Eat less smoked food. It has a strong smell and is not good for your body's growth."

"You should drink more milk."

Dudley patted Harry's head and tidied up his messy hair a little.

“It’s time for another haircut.”

Harry's hair grew incredibly quickly, and he had more haircuts than all the students in his class combined.

In fact, there are more strange things happening to Harry. As he gets older, the frequency of these things happening becomes higher and higher.

For example, any electronic product that Harry has touched or used often malfunctions for no reason.

The Dursleys forbade Harry to come into contact with any electronic products because of this, and no family could afford the wear and tear of replacing a new TV every week or two.

Dudley knew that it was the magic in Harry's body that was causing trouble, and Harry didn't do it on purpose.

"I'm going out now. See you at noon."

"See you at noon, Brother D."

As Harry said this, he watched Dudley leave with envy on his face. Harry didn't know that he envied Dudley's outstanding abilities, but in fact Dudley also envied his wizarding talent.

When he opened the door of his house, Dudley had changed his appearance and his disguise skills had become more and more sophisticated.

When they arrived at the agreed location, a car was parked there. Dudley opened the door and got in.

If he wasn't too young, Dudley would definitely drive himself.

"Let me see what it is."

Dudley picked up the package that had been taken away casually. A large open letter H was written on it, and the name of the gift giver was on the surface.

I tore open the outer packaging and found a scarf inside. I wrapped it around my neck without saying a word.

After twisting and turning on the streets of London, we soon arrived in front of a residential building.

Dali didn't actually go to the company. That place had already been on the right track and was managed by professionals. It didn't matter whether he was there or not. He only needed to be responsible for counting the money.

He doesn't even have to worry about his business secrets being stolen, because there is no technological value at all. What he sells is the brand and the IP, and that can't be stolen.

"Will you pick me up at the same place and time as usual, sir?"

Dudley nodded to the driver, grabbed a small suitcase from the seat beside him and got out.

He put a brown top hat on his head, looked around, and walked into one of the alleys.

He came here to do business.

Dudley has been concentrating on the study of potions. As his research progressed, he was no longer satisfied with those simple potions. However, many potion materials were inaccessible to Muggles, so he had to use some special means.

This may involve making deals with certain alternative people.

From his conversation with the driver it was clear that this was not the first time.

As long as you have money, many things will become easy, even your social circle.

Walk to the end of the alley and knock on the door at the corner. A small window opens in the middle of the door, revealing only a pair of eyes.

"Who?"

A dull voice came out.

"Shadow," Dudley said coldly.

After checking the code, the door was slowly opened, and a mixture of strange smells came out of the room. Dudley frowned slightly, lowered his hat, covered his nose with his scarf, and walked in.

The room was about the size of a billiard room, and was filled with people, both men and women, all dressed in strange costumes. The mix of people made the air extremely turbid. There were no windows open and only a few candles lit, making the entire interior seem very dim.

If you didn’t know, you would think you had come to some drug addicts’ gathering place.

There was garbage everywhere and no one cleaned it up.

Dirty and messy was Dudley's impression of this place.

When they noticed a new person coming in, they all looked in the direction of Dudley, with greed and resentment in their eyes, but when they saw that it was Dudley, they silently retracted their gazes.

"Dear Mr. Gargamel, please follow me."

A waiter dressed in medieval costume came over, rubbing his hands and welcoming Dudley with a flattering look on his face.

Chapter 16 Gold and Galleons (New Book Period Vote Request)

Gargamel is the name Dudley gave himself.

Because Dudley's impression of Gargamel was that he basically didn't cast spells, but just kept brewing potions, Dudley felt that this was very similar to himself.

Although he had a thicker and more luxuriant head of hair than the real Gargamel, and was also strong enough to beat up twenty of those skinny guys in one go.

Do you think this is a gathering place for wizards?

No! Dudley couldn't get into that kind of place.

This is the gathering place for the Squibs.

Squibs cannot cast spells, so there is no traceless extension spell in the room. The image of a down-and-out wizard is not good enough, so don't expect a Squib to have a good image.

Squibs do not have an easy life in the wizarding world because they cannot use magic, which means they cannot engage in magic-related professions, which means they have no source of income. After all, not every Squib is as lucky as Mr. Filch, the administrator of Hogwarts.

If a Squib wants to survive in the wizarding world without relying on support from his family, he must find another way out.
