Chapter 37 The eldest sister of a big capitalist family
Reclaiming wasteland is a troublesome task. In addition to weeds on the ground, grass roots and stones underground also need to be cleared away.
Of course, before that, the land must be plowed.
When Charles was thinking about how to ask Seamus to help him plow the fields in the common room, Hermione came to him with an older sister.
Hermione introduced to Charles: "This is Eleanor Chatterello, a sixth-grade student. She wants to ask you about those feathers... Hey, don't look at others like that!"
There is no such person as Eleanor Chatellero in Charles' "memory". He has only seen her a few times in the past month since school started, but she left a deep impression on her.
Eleanor is over 1.75 meters tall, and has good looks enough to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Her brown hair falls like a waterfall to her thighs, she has a good figure that cannot be concealed by a wizard's robe, and she always has a faint smile on her face. She saw Charles looking at her blankly, and then being kicked by Hermione. She covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Smith, your girlfriend is going to be angry!"
"No, no!" Charles hurriedly denied, "She and I were just classmates in elementary school. I was still thinking that when she wants to find a boyfriend, I will introduce her to my friend David Beckham."
Hermione was stunned for two seconds, stared at him and asked: "Who is David Beckham?"
Charles replied: "Oh, he is a football player and just went to Manchester United this summer."
"Really?" Eleanor laughed at this time, "My home is in Manchester. Are you also a Manchester United fan?"
Charles shook his head and answered very seriously: "I am a fan of AC Milan."
Hermione couldn't bear that the two men were going off topic, so she said to Charles: "Chateller wanted to ask you about those feathers."
Eleanor had an "I know what you're doing" smile on her face and said to Charles: "This is not the place to talk about this matter, please come with me."
Charles could tell that she understood the origin of those feathers, and that the common room was not a good place to discuss going to the Forbidden Forest, so he left the common room with her.
Eleanor took Charles to a corridor far away from the common room. On the wall was an oil painting of several ladies having a picnic by the lake. Eleanor greeted them and the painting moved away.
A door appears.
Charles was startled by what he saw behind the door. Entering the door was a potion laboratory with all kinds of equipment, and the shelves against the walls on both sides were filled with various medicinal materials.
There were two doors inside, and Eleanor took him to visit. Behind one door was the bedroom, and behind the other door was the study. There was a tea table by the window.
Eleanor asked Charles to sit down at the tea table and poured him a cup of tea.
Charles asked her in surprise: "Miss Chatelero, you actually have a dedicated laboratory in Hogwarts?"
Eleanor smiled and replied: "Just call me Eleanor, you don't have to be so polite with me."
"This exclusive laboratory was specially arranged for me by Professor Dumbledore. I am very interested in potions and have some talents. I need a place to do my own experiments."
"Only Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape who come to guide me from time to time know that you are the first guest besides them."
Charles sighed: "Professor Dumbledore actually arranged a laboratory for you alone. Your family must be a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic."
When he thought about it, being able to get the principal and vice-principal to agree to do this, and to have Snape give guidance, meant that Eleanor's family must be very powerful, even the Malfoy family couldn't compare.
Eleanor said to him nonchalantly: "My parents are both Muggles, which actually doesn't matter. I've donated 50,000 Galleons to Hogwarts every year since the first grade."
Charles blinked and opened his mouth in surprise. 50,000 galleons per year, that's 250,000 pounds. Next year, the broomsticks donated by the Malfoy family to the Slytherin Quidditch team are nothing compared to this. Eleanor smiled slightly and asked him: "Do you remember Ronella Aigre?"
Charles was stunned and immediately replied: "Do you know Ronila? She, I and Hermione Granger were classmates in elementary school."
"Of course I know Ronila." A bright smile appeared on Eleanor's face. "Her mother and my mother are biological sisters. We are all very grateful to you for rescuing her from the kidnappers. We had
I wanted to invite you to our home, but I didn’t expect you and your grandfather to go to France. Ronila was at her grandmother’s house in France at the time, and we wanted to contact you in France, but you suddenly returned to the UK.”
Charles determined two things. The first thing is that the world is sometimes very small. The second thing is that the woman in front of him is the daughter of a big capitalist. In terms of wealth, the Malfoy family is simply not worth it in front of her family. 250,000 pounds a year.
It’s nothing to their family, and it might bring higher profits.
He asked tentatively: "You wouldn't give the potion to your family to sell... no... give it as a gift?"
Eleanor looked at Charles with satisfaction and said to him: "The kidnapping case was not made public in the end because the police used the truth serum I prepared on the kidnappers and learned that the mastermind behind it was a member of the family. If it were made public,
It will have a bad impact if you go out."
"I can tell you what happened later. In early September, a very serious car accident occurred in Wales. The driver fell asleep while driving and hit a big tree on the roadside."
Charles understood and said regretfully: "The big tree is innocent, just fall into the river."
Eleanor covered her mouth and laughed, and then continued: "The wizard's Ministry of Magic is full of idiots. As long as you find a good excuse, taking the potion home for use is not a problem."
"With Veritaserum, the police in many places now have a good relationship with their families. Some friends at home are troubled by insomnia and have become drug-resistant after taking too many sleeping pills. Water of Life and Death can help them sleep well. There are also Baidu
Medicines such as Xianxiangjing and Shengguling that can treat injuries are also very popular."
Charles understood that capitalists are also very sophisticated. If Eleanor's medicine can help other business partners solve some problems, after a few business cooperations, the donation of nearly two million pounds in seven years can be recovered.
, and this kind of cooperation can continue in the future.
He asked Eleanor: "So you want to ask me for some medicinal materials from the Forbidden Forest? For example, those feathers."
"That's right." Eleanor nodded, and said to Charles with a wicked smile: "Among the feathers you gave Granger, the cheapest ones are the silencer bird feathers. Each one sells for 5 galleons in Diagon Alley.
, the rest add up to over 100 galleons."
"I think you have a way to get more materials in the Forbidden Forest. How about we divide the responsibilities. You help me find the materials I need, and I'll pay you."
Charles thought for a while and agreed to her proposal: "No problem. Now I have cooperation with Hogwarts and Snape. You can give me the material list. If there are materials you need, I will give them to you." p>
Eleanor smiled and said to him: "That's it. If you need magic potion, you can come to me, or you can come to my place to make it yourself."
"Hmph... The opportunity to be alone with me is a dream for male students."
Charles shrugged and said, "That's a pity, I don't have that much time now."
"You should know that I want a piece of land to grow some magical plants myself, and now I'm still having a headache how to dig the land."
"It's simple." Eleanor said, "The wizard who likes gardening invented the earth-turning and loosening spell. I can help you."
Charles scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "The land is not small, it is too hard."
Eleanor just smiled and said nothing.
What happened next is beyond words.
Charles and Eleanor came to the land. As soon as Eleanor loosened the soil of less than one square meter of land, a group of senior boys jumped out and actively helped to clear the entire land. During this time, Eleanor
