Chapter 464 End of Period (Revised)

In order to prepare for the final exam, the entire Hogwarts was shrouded in a tense review atmosphere, especially when they learned that the wizards of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons would also take the exam, the professors tacitly increased their homework The amount, the little wizards all felt that the difficulty and intensity of the exam must be far beyond usual.

Therefore, now in Hogwarts, you can see little wizards holding books and reciting silently or waving wands everywhere.

In such a tense atmosphere, Alan walked out of the castle calmly. 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 to warn him, and at the same time Allen heard a series of crackling sounds behind him, and when he looked back, a colorful firework flew towards his face.

Allen's wand slipped into his hand in an instant, and he waved it twice quickly. These colored fireworks turned into black smoke, twisted several times in the air like a black snake, and disappeared without a trace. When I expressed my thanks, I found that the other party had disappeared.

"Alan, it's good that you're fine." George and Fred rushed over panting, "I don't know why, this crackling colorful fireworks went out of control. Fortunately, it was you, otherwise we would have caused 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, and Fred and I are saving money for it, and I dare not tell my mother, she always wants us to work in the Ministry of Magic." George is rare Embarrassed.

"That is indeed a good idea, and you will be very successful." Allen praised.

"Thank you." Fred nodded and George turned to leave.

"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, dumbfounded.

"If you want to open a joke store like Zuko's joke store, it is not enough to just develop interesting products. It is too inefficient to save the first start-up capital by doing odd jobs and saving pocket money." Allen pointed out that they current difficulties.

"But who would invest in young wizards who haven't graduated yet? That's definitely not a small sum." Fred said dejectedly.

"Me." Alan pointed to his nose and said with a smile, "I am willing to pay for you to continue to invent and create, 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 a lot of industries recently, but he couldn't figure out why Alan was willing to invest in their two students' joke supply store. Although he was confident that he could make money, it was obvious that Industries such as dragon farms earn too little.

Allen blinked, and he, who has been releasing Legilimency recently, read the thoughts of the twins: "I am very optimistic about the inventions and creations of the two of you, and I think you have extraordinary talents in this area. In addition, I am only responsible for producing Funding, everything else is entirely in your charge, 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, what Allen didn't say was that although he knew that the business of the joke shop would be booming after many years, he actually hoped to take the opportunity to repair the relationship that the Weasley family had gradually become estranged in the past two years. There is an idea that requires the help of Arthur Weasley, who is good at transforming Muggle objects.

"Thank you, Alan." George was grateful in his heart. Recently, the Harris family has rapidly expanded their power. With such a huge industry, they are still willing to invest in their joke shop. It must be that Alan wants to help them, and he instinctively wanted to refuse. , but it is too difficult for him and Fred to save enough money to open a store on their own, and they are also confident that Alan's investment will not be wasted, and it will definitely bring him enough returns.

"Take it," Allen took out a large bag of Galleons, "This can be used as your recent research funding, the consultants of the Harris family will contact you soon and sign a contract with you, don't worry about the money needed to open the store Question, you can just spend your energy on developing new prank items now."

The twins stared at him blankly. It turned out that besides the rumored Hermione, there was really someone who would put so much money on him.

"Alan," George said softly, weighing the bag of gold coins in his hand, "Thank you."

Fred nodded furiously beside him.

No matter how nervous the little wizards are, the final exam will come as scheduled. To the surprise of the little wizards, the difficulty of the exam did not suddenly increase as in the legend, but it is not easy to get a high score.

For the wizards in Allen's intensive training class, this level of difficulty is not difficult for them at all. Most of them are top students, and now many of them can guarantee to get all O's.

In Hagrid's hut, three sets of bucket-sized teacups and saucers stood on the wooden table in front of the fire on this evening of light-hearted pleasure.

Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were sitting in chairs, talking with Hagrid seriously.

"Professor Dumbledore, thank you for trusting us. Olim and I will definitely win over the giant and will not let the Death Eaters succeed, but please ask Filch to feed me the snails while I am away." , Alan’s aunt managed to help me register them so that I can raise them legally.” Hagrid said happily, he made tea and brought a plate of rock cakes to share with everyone, then leaned on the chair , His dark eyes were full of earnestness.

Professor McGonagall looked at a large piece of rock cake in front of her with a puzzled expression: "You don't call her Madame Maxime anymore? You must seize the opportunity on this trip." She suddenly changed her usual serious attitude towards Hai I laughed a few words.

Taking advantage of Hagrid's shyness, they bid him farewell and retreated from the hut. The plates of rock cakes were still intact on the table, while Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall strolled on the path, neither of them Anxious to go back, but talk up.

"Albus, do you think Alan... Alan Harris..." The name mentioned by Professor McGonagall stopped Dumbledore in his tracks, and McGonagall turned to face Dumbledore, "You should I also noticed that this kid showed superb black magic skills in the competition, and his mastery of black magic far exceeds that of many long-famous black wizards. There are also those students in the intensive training class, and now they have a great understanding of Ai Is the kind of admiration of Alan very familiar? It is especially like the feeling that the Death Eaters used to look at the mysterious man. And Alan performed better than the mysterious man. He is said to be the best student in Hogwarts history. Exaggerated. With his talent, if...the damage would be far greater than that of the mysterious person. And I, as his professor, have no idea how to guide him."

"Compared to Alan, I am more worried about his family. Recently, Owen Harris has been purging the Ministry of Magic, constantly letting wizards who are close to him take over. 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 on the wrong path." Dumbledore's slender fingers joined together, his voice full of worry.

"Good evening, Principal Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall." Suddenly Luna came out from the shadows and interrupted the conversation between Dumbledore and McGonagall.

A surprised expression flashed across Dumbledore's face. He was just worried that Harris hadn't been able to find Luna who had been standing in the shadow, and his Legilimency couldn't see through the little girl in front of him. The girl is thinking about something.

"Miss Lovegood, why are you still on the edge of the Forbidden Forest? It's almost curfew time. If you don't go back, I guarantee that Ravenclaw will be deducted points." Professor McGonagall's face became serious.

"I just fed thestrals what they want for the last time before the holiday." Then Luna looked at Dumbledore with her head tilted, and the moonlight cast a halo on her white face, which made Luna His face looked a bit blurred: "Principal Dumbledore, Alan has a family who cares about each other. Is this luck or bad luck for others?"
