Today, Kathleen has been sitting on the dressing table since she woke up. She swore that she had never taken care of her appearance so carefully.
Even when attending a dance at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I had never put so much thought into it.
About half a month ago, Nicholas told Catherine that a British guest would come to the United States to visit him. As Nicholas' heir, she needed to meet him.
Yes, heir.
Nicholas is actually very rich, even richer than the rest of the entire family combined. The strange thing is that his relatives, friends, and even family members don't know that Nicholas is rich.
They only knew that Nicholas was a lonely alchemist.
In the American wizarding world, alchemist is not a popular profession. The threshold for alchemy is very high, and alchemy experiments are regarded as money-burning experiments by most wizards, ranking first with potion research.
The United States Ministry of Magic monitors wizards very strictly, and even if it can produce any research results, it is hard to say whether they will be useful.
Therefore, the number of alchemists in the United States is very rare, and most of them are poor.
But Nicholas is very rich.
One day, while Katherine was spending her summer vacation at Nicholas' farm, Nicholas asked her if she wanted to be his heir.
At that time, Kathleen hesitated.
Katherine is a genius with a bright future. Although she also likes alchemy, she will not gamble with her future.
She has never forgotten that Nicholas seemed to see through her thoughts at that time and told her that as long as she became the heir, she would never be short of "Drócauldron" in her life, and she could spend a lot of time and energy on alchemy in the future.
In the end, Kathleen made an unbreakable vow with her grandfather Nicholas. It was also on that day that she realized how rich her grandfather really was.
As the only wizard in America who sells Floo powder, apart from half of the profits from this unique business, the rest of the money belongs to Nicholas alone.
Not long ago, Catherine, who had just graduated from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, received Nicholas's first gift: a house.
One day in the future, after Nicholas passes away, he will still inherit most of Nicholas' estate.
To be honest, no one hates this great job.
American wizards are actually very realistic. They like to follow the example of "Dragon". They usually compete to enter the United States Ministry of Magic first and have a job with a good salary.
Maybe this has something to do with the high cost of living in the United States.
Actually, Kathleen didn't like that place.
If she enters the Ministry of Magic, her only advantage is a good-looking transcript. Her starting point is not even as good as those of her friends who have some connections, and her talent will not even be of much help to her future.
Here, dreams are expensive.
This is also the reason why Catherine made an unbreakable vow in the first place.
She quickly fell in love with her current job and liked the feeling of being rich, which meant that she would have enough "Zhuo Guo" to support her dreams and use her talents instead of doing nothing on the desk.
Her father and even his family were not able to receive this honor, not only because they had no talent, but also because being the spokesperson for American Floo fans required absolute confidentiality.
No one else knew anything about it except heirs or assistants.
Katherine still remembers that when she was very young, a big event happened in the magical world.
The U.S. Department of Magic wanted to find out who was selling Floo Powder. Because the person in charge of the Floo Company had never registered with the Ministry of Magic, the U.S. Department of Magic regarded it as an illegal company and even arrested him from the Floo Company.
A house elf tried to pry something out of its mouth.
As a result, the house elf died.
The wizard who killed the house elf also disappeared not long after.
The Ministry of Magic believes that someone from the Floo Company killed the wizard, but they don't have any evidence, or can't even find any evidence.
Because no one knew who was making it, providing the floo powder, and the loyal house elves couldn't pry anything out.
When the wizards who were misled by the New York Ghost News rushed into the Floo Company, they found that no one was there.
Yes, the Floo Boom Company on Wizard Street in New York closed its doors and left.
It also stopped providing floo powder to the United States.
After Floo powder is out of stock, it is no longer possible to buy Floo powder on the market.
As a result, the American wizards were immediately dumbfounded.
This matter made a big fuss.
The United States Ministry of Magic had to introduce Floo powder from abroad, but the high price made it unaffordable for many wizards.
The good deeds done by the Ministry of Magic were quickly discovered, and everyone naturally figured out what was going on. It turned out that you wanted to peek into other people's wealth, and as a result, you drove away the Floo Bang Company.
So, everyone was criticizing the Ministry of Magic.
Finally, the United States Ministry of Magic bowed its head.
However, apologizing is useless.
The Floo Bang Company disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never existed.
The entire United States Department of Magic was very angry at Floo Bang's actions, but there was nothing they could do.
Later, the president of the Magical Congress of the United States resigned and resigned, and several Ministry of Magic officials involved in the incident were also fired.
However, in the following years, American wizards still could not buy Floo powder, and the Ministry of Magic had to pinch its nose and spend a lot of money to purchase it from abroad.
At this point, the Ministry of Magic all over the world knows that this extremely mysterious Floo company is not easy to mess with.
For this company, the big deal is, I won’t do your business anymore. If you can, go buy Floo powder from other countries!
Several years later, everyone suddenly discovered that the Floo Boom Company had quietly reopened in Wizard Street, New York.
There is no doubt that this is Nicholas' revenge against the United States Ministry of Magic.
The Floo Company is mysterious and powerful.
This was Kathleen's first impression when she learned about it.
Kathleen was even more curious about the Wild Smith family, the owners of the Floo Company.
According to Nicholas' description, he only met the then Wild Smith heir a few decades ago when he officially became the heir.
After he selected Catherine as his heir, he naturally needed to meet the new heir of the Wild Smith family again to continue this ancient contract.
Nicholas actually doesn’t know much about the Wildsmith family. He only knows that this family is very rich and attaches great importance to knowledge. Every family member is a genius, but they are not direct blood relatives, but are selected.
He is of Wild Smith family descent.
The most important thing is that not many people in the entire magical world know their true identities, just like no one knows the identity of Nicholas.
It was a mysterious, wealthy family where everyone was a genius.
Although this seemed a bit ridiculous to Kathleen, such an eccentric family had lasted for more than seven hundred years and kept the family prosperous.
To be honest, Kathleen really wanted to meet the legendary Wild Smith heir to see if he was really as great a genius as the legend said.
After dressing up carefully, Kathleen went downstairs to meet Nicholas.
"Are we going to the Ministry of Magic like this?" Catherine asked doubtfully.
"They will use the international floo network over France." Nicholas reached out to hold his granddaughter's arm and led her to apparate near the Woolworth Building.
"It should be almost time!" Nicholas took out his pocket watch and checked the time, and took his granddaughter directly into the United States Ministry of Magic.
Along the way, Kathleen's beauty attracted the attention of many men, who came to say hello to her and chatted with her in an endless stream, including many of her suitors in school.
