Chapter 464 Final (Modified)
In preparation for the final exam, the entire Hogwarts was enveloped in a tense review atmosphere. Especially when they learned that Durmstrang and Beauxbatons wizards would also take part in the exam, the professors tacitly increased their homework. The little wizards all felt that the difficulty and intensity of the exam must be far higher than usual.
Therefore, nowadays in Hogwarts, you can see little wizards holding books silently or waving wands everywhere.
In such a tense atmosphere, Alan walked calmly outside the castle. He wanted to take a walk by the lake to relax. When passing a remote classroom, "Be careful behind you." Ravenclaw's resident ghost Gray The lady suddenly poked her head out of the wall and warned him. At the same time, Allen heard a series of crackling sounds behind him. He looked back and saw a colorful firework flying towards his face.
Allen's wand instantly slipped into his hand and he waved it twice quickly. The colorful fireworks turned into black smoke, twisted several times in the air like a black snake and disappeared without a trace. When he turned his head and wanted to face the female ghost, When I expressed my gratitude, I found that the other party had disappeared.
"Ellen, just hope you're okay." George and Fred rushed over panting, "I don't know why, but this crackling colorful fireworks went out of control. Fortunately, it was you who met us, otherwise we would have been in trouble." "
"It's nothing, but your fireworks are indeed less stable." Allen said, "Are you doing research?"
"Yeah, we want to open a joke shop, like Zuko's Joke Shop. Fred and I are saving money for this, but we don't dare to tell our mother. She has always wanted us to work in the Ministry of Magic." George is rare. The ground felt embarrassed.
"That is indeed a good idea. You will be very successful." Allen praised.
"Thank you." Fred nodded and George turned and left.
"Fred—George—wait a minute." Allen suddenly stopped them.
The twins turned around.
"Have you ever considered finding someone to invest in?" Allen asked.
"What?" said Fred, stunned.
"If you want to open a joke shop like Joko Widodo's Joke Shop, it's not enough to just develop interesting products. It's too inefficient to save the first start-up capital by doing odd jobs and saving pocket money." Allen pointed out to them difficulties currently faced.
"But who would invest in a little wizard who hasn't graduated yet? That's definitely not a small amount of money." Fred said frustrated.
"Me." Allen pointed to his nose and said with a smile, "I am willing to fund you to continue your inventions and creations, and I am willing to invest in the joke shop you are about to open."
"But..." Fred hesitated. He knew that the Harris family had invested in many industries recently, but he couldn't understand why Allen was willing to invest in their two student joke supply stores. Although he was confident that he could make money, there was obviously a contrast. The profits from industries such as dragon farms are too little.
Allen blinked. He had been releasing Legilimency recently and read the twins' thoughts: "I am very optimistic about the inventions and creations of the two of you. I think you have extraordinary talents in this area. In addition, I am only responsible for producing You will be solely responsible for the funds and everything else. I will not interfere. I only invest in you because I am optimistic about your business. I believe you will not let my investment go to waste, right?"
Not only that, but what Allen didn't say was that although he knew that the joke shop's business would be very popular many years later, he actually hoped to take the opportunity to repair the relationship that the Weasley family had gradually become estranged in the past two years. During the summer vacation, he An idea called for the help of Arthur Weasley, who was good at modifying Muggle items.
"Thank you, Allen." George was grateful. Recently, the Harris family's power has expanded rapidly. They have such a huge industry but they are still willing to invest in their joke shop. It must be Allen who wants to help them, and he originally wanted to refuse. , but it was too difficult for him and Fred to save enough money to open a store on their own, and they were confident that Allen's investment would not be wasted and would definitely bring him sufficient returns.
"Take it," Allen took out a large bag of gold galleons, "This can be used as your recent research funds. The Harris family's consultant will contact you soon and sign a contract with you. Don't worry about the money needed to open a store. The problem is, you can just spend your energy on developing new prank items now."
The twins looked at him blankly. It turned out that other than the rumored Hermione, no one would really put so much money on them.
"Alan," George said softly, weighing the bag of gold coins in his hand, "thank you."
Fred nodded frantically beside him.
No matter how anxious the little wizards are, the final exam will come as scheduled. Contrary to the expectations of the little wizards, the difficulty of the exam did not suddenly increase as in the legend, but it is not easy to get high scores.
For the wizards in Allen's training class, this level of difficulty is not a problem for them at all. Most of them were originally top students, and now many of them are guaranteed to get all O's.
On this evening filled with relaxation and joy, in Hagrid's hut, three sets of bucket-sized teacups and saucers were placed on the wooden table in front of the fire.
Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were sitting on chairs, talking to Hagrid seriously.
"Professor Dumbledore, thank you for trusting us. Olim and I will definitely win over the giants and will not let the Death Eaters succeed. But please ask Filch to help me feed the snails while I am away. , Alan and his aunt finally helped me register them so that I can keep them legally." Hagrid said happily. He made tea, brought a plate of rock cakes to everyone, and then leaned on the chair , his dark eyes were full of seriousness.
Professor McGonagall looked at the large piece of rock cake in front of her with a troubled expression: "You don't call her Mrs. Maxim anymore? You must seize the opportunity during this trip." She suddenly changed her usual serious tone towards Haig. Laughed a few times.
Taking advantage of Hagrid's shyness, they said goodbye to him and exited the hut. The plates of rock cakes were still intact on the table, while Principal Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were strolling along the path, neither of them. Anxious to go back, but struck up a conversation.
"Albus, do you think Alan...Alan Harris..." The name mentioned by Professor McGonagall made Dumbledore stop. McGonagall turned to Dumbledore, "You should I also noticed that this kid showed superb black magic skills in the competition. His mastery of black magic far surpassed many long-established dark wizards. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net and those training classes students, do their admiration for Allen look familiar now? It is especially like the feeling that Death Eaters had when they looked at the mysterious man. And Allen performed better than the mysterious man, saying that he was the best in the history of Hogwarts. The best student is not an exaggeration at all. With his talent, if...then I'm afraid the harm will be far greater than that of the mysterious man. And I, as his professor, have no idea how to guide him."
"I'm more worried about his family than Alan. Owen Harris has been cleaning up the Ministry of Magic recently, and he keeps putting wizards who are close to him in power. Alan is not Tom's kind of person, he can feel love. But what I'm most worried about...is that his family may lead him down the wrong path." Dumbledore's slender fingers crossed together, his voice full of worry.
"Good evening, Principal Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall." Suddenly Luna walked out of the shadows and interrupted the conversation between Dumbledore and McGonagall.
The surprised expression flashed across Dumbledore's face. He had just been worried that Harris had not noticed Luna standing in the shadow, and his Legilimency could not see through the little girl in front of him at all. What is the girl thinking about.
"Miss Lovegood, why are you still at the edge of the Forbidden Forest? Curfew time is coming soon. If you don't go back, I guarantee Ravenclaw will lose points." Professor McGonagall's face became serious.
"I'm just feeding the Thestrals something they want to eat for the last time before the holiday." Then Luna tilted her head and looked at Dumbledore, the moonlight cast a halo on her white face, which made Luna His face looked a little blurry: "Principal Dumbledore, Allen has a family that cares about each other. Is this good luck or bad luck for others?"
