Chapter 229 Talking About Smuggling in the Dormitory

Slytherin dormitory.

No one would have imagined that two third-year wizards would talk about smuggling before going to bed.

Ino had a negative attitude towards Draco's naive suggestion.

During this time, he bought rations for the Acromantula, and he also learned that the smuggling business in England's magical world was actually contracted by the Abbott family.

Perhaps the original purpose of the Leaky Cauldron was to facilitate the exchange of information.

Even though Old Tom has a gaping tooth and a bald head, he smiles and cleans cups all day long, but if someone really touches the Aibo family's cake, it will only take an instant for him to fall out.

Compared with smuggling, Ino cared about another thing more.

"Draco, how much share do you own in that dragon farm? I mean, do you have a say? Or is it just a dividend?"

"Of course I have the right to speak!" Draco jumped out of bed and said excitedly:

"If we start with less, the Aurors won't check two students. And if we make five thousand Galleons, we will stop. By then, each of us will have a Firebolt."

"Stop it!" Listening to this daydream-like longing, although he was a little moved in his heart, Ino decided to throw cold water:

"Even if you bring the dragon in safely, how will you do it? Who will you sell it to? There are no sales channels, so you can only sell it to Knockturn Alley Shawl Shoppers at a low price. If this fails, we will still lose money."

"Then what should we do?" Draco lowered his head.

He is not stupid. He already figured out the problem when he heard about sales channels.

Probably, smuggling is not just about quietly transporting things back.

"There must be a way." Ino said firmly.

"You just need space and supporting processing services, and your dragon farm is the best choice, and the most important thing is that it is legal."

"Legal?" Draco's eyes lit up when he heard the word.

"Yes, it's legal! And it's an exclusive business." Ino once again reiterated the legality, while also emphasizing the monopoly.

These two words were connected together, and Draco couldn't sit still anymore and walked out of bed in his pajamas.

"Let's talk! If we can't afford it, we can find someone to buy shares, Pansy, Daphne, Brak..."

"We alone can do it!" Ino interrupted: "I have this kind of tame Acromantula, and their venom has always been a rare potion material."

In fact, when he heard about smuggling and dragon farms, he thought of the Acromantula in the box.

Although some will be left for Lina, according to the reproduction speed of the Acromantula, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

The only thing that limits the growth of the Acromantula is food, or meat that contains magic power.

This point, however, exactly complements the dragon farm.

The only valuable things in a fire dragon are dragon blood, dragon skin, dragon heart tendons, even dragon liver, dragon dung, etc., but I have never heard of dragon meat having any economic value.

As for the Acromantula, as a 5X magical animal that lives in groups, it is also very dangerous for ordinary wizards, especially after being surrounded by a swarm of spiders.

As for the preciousness of venom, it's probably because capable wizards don't bother to earn this money, while incompetent wizards can't afford it.

…

In the dormitory.

Ino explained his plan in detail, but there were only two problems in front of him. The first was legal breeding procedures, and the second was sales channels.

The second point is easier to handle. He plans to contact some brand-name potion stores through Snape. The high-quality and stable supply of goods is unlikely to be rejected.

However, legal breeding procedures require the influence of the Malfoy family.

Of course, in this regard, it would be more convenient to find Newt or Dumbledore.

But when he was chatting before, after hearing two firebolts, he had an idea in his mind.

Comparing one's feelings with one's own, he was promised a broom worth two thousand five hundred Galleons for his efforts and no capital. In fact, this already explained a lot of things.

After more than two hours of continuous discussion.

Finally, due to strong sleepiness, Ino had to end the chat.

"Go to sleep quickly, there are some things that need careful planning! Rome was not built in a day."

Compared to Ino's sleepiness, Draco was slightly excited, his cheeks were flushed, and he just had to write something big on his forehead.

Although he was in a state of excitement, Draco still asked tentatively:

"Can you tell my dad about this?"

Not forgetting his pride, upon hearing this inquiry, Ino nodded secretly.

"Of course, I originally told Uncle Lucius through you!"

"Okay! Then I'll write a letter tomorrow."

Draco's tone was a little disappointed, but he was used to it, after all, it was not his turn to make the decision in the Malfoy family.

…

The next morning.

After waking up, Ino was not in a hurry to get up. Instead, he leaned on the bedside shelf and looked at the ceiling quietly.

Unlike the original story, Draco chose four electives in his third year.

Therefore, most of the time, the dormitory will always look empty.

Thinking of the original story, he was surprised to find that the content of the story had changed so much that his memories were blurred.

Many things were slowly fading away, and unless he used a pensieve, he could not recall much of the original story.

For example, what happened in the second half of the third year; for example, in the story, how many courses Draco chose... too many.

Although I have forgotten many details, I still remember the big events.

The turmoil of the Quidditch World Cup, the Triwizard Tournament in the fourth year, even Cedric's sacrifice and Voldemort's resurrection.

"No one will die in the castle..."

Leaning on the bedside, Ino secretly made up his mind.

I dare not say that he has grand ideals. At least during the few years he stayed at Hogwarts, he would definitely not let those tragedies happen again.

As for the plan, he had already thought about it. As long as Barty Crouch Jr. dared to come, he would definitely win it on the spot.

This is not a kind of arrogance, but as time goes by, I feel more and more that there are not many people in the magic world who can beat me.

Unlike the first year, everyone would be frightened when faced with the possessed Quirrell. To this day, only the four deans made him feel a little bit of pressure.

However, in a peaceful era, he could not find anyone to verify his strength. Although Dumbledore once said that magic is close to Snape, this is only a macro description.

He is now looking forward to next year, just in time to test the waters with little Barty.
