"Now I plan to use this bonus to invest in our store. With this money, we can officially open it, instead of only selling goods through the mail as we do now." Ryan said to the Weasley twins sitting opposite.
By now, it was a week after the end of the Triwizard Tournament, and the excitement of the game and the uneasiness caused by the Death Eaters' escape from prison had slowly calmed down. Ryan found the twins after eating one morning and told them his plan.
"You don't need all of it, just another 800 Galleons is enough." Fred said, he was in charge of the accounts recently and knew how much money was needed to officially launch the store.
As soon as he finished speaking, George continued beside him: "But we should redivide the shares. You paid more and helped our family a lot. We can't take advantage of you."
After negotiating for a while, Ryan and the twins redivided the shares. He held 50%, while the twins held 25%. After discussion, everyone decided that the store would officially open during the summer vacation.
"Then what's your mother's explanation?" Ryan suddenly thought of Mrs. Weasley.
"I can only tell you frankly. I think if we all work together to persuade, my mother will be able to agree to our request in the end." The twins said this in unison.
"What's more, the Daily Prophet has been whitewashing the peace recently. My father said that at least half of the people in the Ministry of Magic don't think that what Fudge said is normal is true, because Azkaban has never breathed a sigh of relief.
A criminal escaped from prison, not to mention that those who escaped were all extremely evil people. Under this situation, our mother is not as obsessed with us going to work at the Ministry of Magic in the future as she was recently." George added.
"Fudge has really gone crazy recently. Just because Dumbledore mentioned in some public places that the wizarding world is now more dangerous, and hopes that everyone can be more vigilant, he directed the Daily Prophet to slander Dumbledore as crazy." Fudge
Reid also talked about the news he heard recently.
"So what do ordinary people think?" Ryan asked. This week he was busy helping Hermione get familiar with using puppets to cooperate in combat, so he didn't pay attention to the recent news. But did he know that in the original article, Fudge relied on this kind of vilification to make many people
They all mistakenly thought that Dumbledore was really confused because of his age.
"Most people think that Dumbledore is a little nervous, but it's understandable. After all, ten vicious criminals escaped from prison this time. At the same time, everyone also thinks that Fudge is doing it all for himself and wants to cover up the bad news about him.
." Fred explained.
"But Fudge completely went his own way and even withdrew the people who were sent out to search for dark wizards. In this way, there are still people who agree with Fudge. For example, my father said that Umbridge, the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, sang for Fudge on various occasions.
Praise, I really don’t know if her mind is filled with splendens or if she has a despicable personality and ignores all morals in order to please her boss." George added.
After discussing the latest news for a while, Ryan and the twins said goodbye and went to the library to look at the books hidden in the secret library. They didn't come out of it until lunch time.
He was sitting at the table in the auditorium and was about to eat when he saw Harry hurried over and handed him an envelope and said, "Principal Dumbledore asked me to give this to you."
"What is this?" Ryan asked casually after taking the letter.
"I don't know. Professor Dumbledore didn't tell me. He just asked me to give you this letter." Harry's answer was also expected. Dumbledore has always been like this, doing many things mysteriously.
Secret.
After receiving the letter, Ryan decided to eat first. Harry also sat next to him and devoured it.
"By the way, what did you do in Dumbledore's office just now?" Ryan asked Harry next to him.
"Bad news, he told me that I should go back to the Dursleys to stay for a while during the summer vacation." Harry looked a little depressed.
"Didn't Sirius buy a house next to your aunt's house? It shouldn't be as bad as in the past, right?" Ryan said with some confusion. The current situation is completely different from that in the original work. Sirius regained his
After I became free, I bought a new house near Harry's aunt's house. I would live there during the summer vacation to accompany Harry.
"Here's the problem. Last year, I knew that staying at my aunt's house every year was because of my mother's protective magic. Fortunately, it was not so difficult to accept living there with Sirius's company. But this year, Professor Dumbledore just told me that Sirius
I have things to do during the holidays and I have to live alone at my aunt's house again, which is terrible." Harry poked his steak at this point.
"It's really bad. I'll try to write to you." Ryan patted Harry on the shoulder to express his sympathy. Harry's aunt and uncle did raise him, but that's all.
It's perfectly normal for Harry not to like them.
After finishing the meal, Ryan left the dining table and walked toward the common room, where he opened the envelope Dumbledore had given him.
The letter was an invitation to him and Hermione, inviting them to visit Sirius' old house at the end of the second week of the semester. Dumbledore also specifically stated in the letter that he would introduce some important people to them. The letter also contained
A small note was attached, but it stated that you can only open and view the contents if you confirm that you accept the invitation.
"It seems like Dumbledore has an organization he leads." Hermione said thoughtfully in the common room as she looked at the invitation letter.
"Indeed, I have seen one of Harry's photo albums. There is a photo of his parents and a large group of wizards. Later, when I told the twins about it, Fred told me that he also had an identical photo at home.
Photo. Their father once let slip that Dumbledore had founded the Order of the Phoenix to fight against the mysterious man. The photo was from the Order of the Phoenix, and there were two uncles they had never met in it. Unfortunately, they were all together last time.
He was killed by a mysterious man during the war."
"Then this invitation means that Dumbledore wants to recruit new people." Hermione responded. "According to Professor Dumbledore's character, it is very likely that he will disband the Order of the Phoenix after the war. Now it is also true that he has chosen to recruit new people after the war broke out.
Very normal.”
After discussing for a while, the two people decided to accept the invitation. Anyway, as hemp wizards, they were destined to have a relationship with Voldemort. In this case, it would be better to stay temporarily affiliated with an organization than to fight alone.
, Besides, according to Dumbledore's character, under normal circumstances, he would not push these students to the front line of the battle. Compared with Voldemort and Malfoy being cannon fodder, Dumbledore is indeed a good leader.
After confirming his acceptance of the invitation, Ryan opened the note attached to the letter. Inside it was written in slender notes: "12 Grimmauld Place, London."
"This is" as soon as they finished reading, the paper curled up and burned. Hermione was startled by this unexpected situation.
"This house is guarded loyally, and the secret keeper is Professor Dumbledore. It seems that he has a high degree of trust in us. At least it is not optional for Professor Dumbledore to be the secret keeper.
