"Professor, thank you. I was scared just now. I thought I was going to be captured by Death Eaters." Hermione slapped her chest and didn't notice the change in Ron's eyes.
Wang Xu saw it but didn't pay attention. Just when he was about to say something, he saw more than a dozen lines of white smoke rushing in from outside the door.
"Order of the Phoenix, prepare to fight!"
With a roar, more than a dozen white lights fell to the ground and transformed into members of the Order of the Phoenix headed by Moody.
More than a dozen members of the Order of the Phoenix stood in a row, each holding a wand, ready for battle at any time.
When I looked up, I saw that the auditorium was empty, and there were no Death Eaters anywhere.
"McGonagall, where are the Death Eaters?" Moody's magic eye rolled around and he shouted angrily: "Don't tell me, you want to test the reaction ability of the Order of the Phoenix. There are no Death Eaters at all!"
Di stopped talking mid-sentence and hurriedly walked a few steps forward and came to the body on the ground.
"Brother and sister Carlo, Yaxley?"
Glancing over the corpses, Moody quickly recognized who they were and said in a solemn voice: "Did you fight against Death Eaters?"
"It's not us, it's Professor Wang." Professor McGonagall walked up and whispered a few words into Moody's ear.
Moody nodded while listening, a magic eye fixed on Wang Xu, as if he wanted to see through him.
"Ron, Hermione, are you okay?" Arthur walked up to Ron and gave him a tight hug.
"Dad, we're fine." Ron smiled reluctantly and asked, "Where's Harry?"
"Harry is in a safe place. If I had known it, we should have taken you away together yesterday. At that time, I thought that the Ministry of Magic could not fall so quickly. The Death Eaters would only deal with Harry secretly. I was really crazy.
.”
Arthur was full of self-blame. They were able to take Hermione and Ron away yesterday, but at that time they felt that the Ministry of Magic could still hold on for a while and the Death Eaters did not dare to mess around.
Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Magic fell overnight. If they had not received a summons from Professor McGonagall, they would not have known about it. After all, Scrimgeour did not inform anyone in the Order of the Phoenix before he died.
"dad"
Ron wanted to ask again, but Arthur waved his hand and interrupted him: "The Dark Lord is probably coming, and now is not the time to talk. Ron, Hermione, do you have anything else to pack? We need to bring it right away.
You leave."
"Mr. Arthur, you can take Ron away. Hermione is not needed. She will study potions with Professor Slughorn." Wang Xu stood up at the right time. Hermione has just entered the sixth grade and is still in school.
There is a lot of Potions knowledge that I haven't learned yet.
Wang Xu wanted her to become a master potion master, but he couldn't just let Arthur take Hermione out to hide and seek.
After all, there is no Potions Master in the Order of the Phoenix. Hermione will only waste her time by following them. Wang Xu has no time to talk nonsense with them.
"Professor Wang, Hogwarts is no longer safe. The Dark Lord may arrive at any time. Hermione is not safe here." Arthur persuaded Wang Xu earnestly, trying to make Wang Xu give up this unrealistic idea.
Wang Xu shook his head slightly and did not think it was necessary to discuss this issue further. He said bluntly: "I will handle this matter. You just need to be yourself and don't worry about issues that you shouldn't worry about."
"Professor Wang" Arthur wanted to argue with him angrily. As soon as he spoke, Wang Xu's eyes turned cold: "This is not a request, Arthur, you are not qualified to bargain with me!"
Arthur was discouraged and could only look at Professor McGonagall for help.
Professor McGonagall shook her head slightly and whispered: "Arthur, please leave quickly. Professor Wang should be sure."
"There is no time to waste, we should go." Moody roared, and with the three corpses on the ground, they turned into white mist and rose into the sky.
More than a dozen members of the Order of the Phoenix turned into white smoke and followed closely. Arthur glanced at Wang Xu helplessly, grabbed Ron's shoulder and followed them.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen members of the Order of the Phoenix turned into smoke and disappeared.
Wang Xu turned back slightly, looked at Hermione who was reluctant to leave, and said: "Don't be reluctant, the Order of the Phoenix is just a bunch of homeless rats now, just waiting to be picked up if you show their flaws. You go with them, don't say anything."
It’s not safe yet, it’s not like we can’t see each other again in the future, and we won’t die after being apart for a few days.”
Hermione's eyes were slightly red, she was definitely not going to die, but she had never been separated from Harry and Ron since she entered Hogwarts.
Now that we can no longer meet each other suddenly, this feeling of loneliness is uncomfortable, especially for a sixteen-year-old girl.
"Let's go, there is no class today, I will take you to the potion shop in Diagon Alley to help you know the way." Wang Xu called Hermione and went straight to the office. There is a huge floo in the Harry Potter world.
Network, as long as it is authorized by the owner, you can go to any place with a fireplace through the Floo Network.
The fireplace in Wang Xu's office has opened a line to Diagon Alley. As long as you stand in the fireplace and sprinkle a handful of Floo powder, while the flames are burning, you can teleport people there instantly.
"Diagon Alley, the flower grower's potion shop." Wang Xu stood in the fireplace with Hermione, and while speaking of the destination, he sprinkled a handful of Floo powder.
boom!!
Blue flames rose up, wrapping Wang Xu and Hermione and teleporting out.
The next second, a blue flame spurted out from the fireplace of the flower grower's potion shop in Diagon Alley.
Two seconds later, the flame disappeared without a trace, and two figures, one large and one small, appeared in the empty fireplace.
"Professor, is this your potion shop?" Hermione looked around with curiosity in her eyes.
Wang Xu walked out of the fireplace, opened the window to let in the sunshine from outside, and said without turning his head: "The first floor is shelves and some ordinary potions, the second floor has three bedrooms and a potion making room, and the warehouse is
In the basement, the bathroom is at the corner of the stairs on the second floor. From now on, you can attend classes at Hogwarts during the day and live here at night. There are a lot of medicinal materials in the warehouse in the basement. You can refine any potions you want."
"Is it safe here?" Hermione looked at the wooden shelves around her, picked up a few bottles of potions and sniffed them.
"It won't work on the first floor, but the second floor is very safe. I applied for the protective enchantment of the Loyalty Charm for the second floor at the Ministry of Magic. I am the keeper of the secret. No one can go up to the second floor without my permission. By the way, you have.
You have the authority of the building, the barrier here is invalid for you. In normal times, I will also sit here. When I am here, you are safe everywhere. If you encounter danger when I am not around, you can just hide on the second floor. Remember
Don't go out."
Wang Xu casually answered that the Red Loyalty Curse is a powerful protective magic, which is superimposed by thousands of defensive spells. Even Voldemort and wizards of the same level of disadvantage cannot break this strong barrier.
However, good things usually come with a good price. The Red Loyalty Charm is powered by the Ministry of Magic. The cost of deploying it once is as high as 560,000 Galleons, and each time it is recharged, an additional energy fee of 120,000 Galleons is required.
You must know that Harry Potter's reward is only one hundred thousand gold galleons. Usually only wealthy pure-blood families can cast the Fidelity Charm for their family treasury.
For example, the Potter family's house in Godric's Hollow and No. 12 Grimmauld Place, the ancestral home of the Black family, are both shrouded in this powerful defensive barrier.
If James Potter hadn't changed the Secret Keeper to Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort wouldn't have been able to get in and kill them.
Moreover, once the Red Loyalty Curse takes effect, not even the Ministry of Magic can stop it, and one charge can last for at least five years.
Hermione breathed a deep sigh of relief when she heard that this place was protected by the Loyalty Charm. It was human instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and safety was always the most important thing.
Wang Xu opened all the windows in the room, hung a sign of closure outside the door, and said: "I will take you to the potion room upstairs to see what potions you think will help you improve your level. Starting today
Just refine any magic potion. Materials are not a problem, and you don’t have to worry about waste. You can write me a list later, and I will ask Shining to go out and buy it. Even if you want to refine a magic potion now, I can get the materials for you.
Come."
While telling the story, Wang Xu took Hermione to the second floor.
Walking up the stairs, you will see a small living room, and inside are four rooms with different house numbers.
Wang Xu first took Hermione to the potion room. Once the door opened, the potion room with the infinite telescopic spell was cast, and the space inside was comparable to a basketball court.
There are a lot of equipment densely packed inside. Unlike ordinary wizards, Wang Xu has also prepared a lot of modern equipment here.
Electronic scales, material analyzers, freezers, centrifuges, industrial dehydrators, drying ovens
Technology is combined with magic here. Wang Xu even transferred an experimental robot from the reverse world to serve as Hermione's assistant.
"This, this is my potion room?" Hermione looked at all this in surprise, quickly came to a magic crucible, touched the model number on it, and said in disbelief: "This is Foxley Type 5
The magic automatic crucible is the latest alchemical creation in the wizarding world. Even the crucible used by Professor Snape is only the Foxley Type 3 crucible. This crucible is two generations more advanced than the one used by Professor Snape. It is simply too luxurious!"
Looking at the various equipment in the potions room, Hermione felt dazzled.
Especially the round robot with countless mechanical arms, Hermione looked at it again and again, she couldn't believe it was real.
"Hello Miss Hermione, I am your experimental assistant. I will be responsible for assisting you in using the technological equipment here and following your instructions. You can call me Edison." The circular robot stepped forward and surrounded Hermione.
Take the initiative to say hello.
Wang Xu folded his arms and leaned against the door, looked at the ecstatic Hermione, and said: "We should be villains first, then gentlemen, and talk ugly things first. I will give you the best resources and protection, and you should do the same.
Use the best potion to repay me. Normally, I don't do loss-making business. For every 1 galleon I spend on you, you will have to give me 10 galleons or 100 galleons in return in the future.
You are not working for me, we are cooperating. I will give you 30% of the profit for each bottle of magic potion. For example, the purchase price of lucky water on the market is 1,500 Galleons and the selling price is 6,000 Galleons. I will not pay you the purchase price.
After calculation, I will only share the dividend with you based on the selling price. For every bottle sold, I will give you 1,800 Galleons, and you can completely treat this place as your own business."
One gold galleon contains 14.8 grams of gold, and 1,800 gold galleons is only about 26,000 grams, which is 26 kilograms of gold.
In the reverse world, Wang Xu controls a huge cosmetics market, and his daily income is very small.
You must know that the area of the counter world is more than ten times that of the earth, and the resources are more than twenty times higher. The total amount of gold on the earth is 40,000 tons, and the counter world is at least 100,000 tons.
Wang Xu bluntly said that he had the ability to mobilize a thousand tons of gold effortlessly, which would be equivalent to 70 million gold galleons.
Therefore, he is not afraid of giving Hermione a large dividend, but he is afraid that the potion she refines is not good enough.
If it weren't for the Harry Potter world, where the legendary powerful wizards were missing in the end, making Wang Xu vaguely afraid, he could have used his financial advantage to buy out the entire wizarding world.
