Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Sirius received tickets from the shop owner for all of the Quiddich League's games next year, all ten of them privileged seats, for the full purchase of the crossbow.

Quiddich League is the abbreviation for the Quiddich Team Super Confrontation League between Britain and Ireland, blocked by the thirteen best teams in the magic world.

Unlike the simple confrontation between the Hogwarts four faculties, the Quidditch League is a professional competition.

They are highly competitive and recruit players from all over the world.

Gryffindor Quiddich captain Oliver Wood's biggest dream was to join the Pdmill coalition after graduation as a professional player.

When he was in school, he always brought you the latest news about the Pdmill League game, articles for Hogwarts Magic, all about it, new tactical analysis used by Pdmill League, and so on.

Because Wood usually listens a lot, Ivan, Harry and Hermione look forward to seeing what the professional league looks like.

They looked at the schedule for next year and discovered that on the first day of the New Year, the Pdermir League was competing against the Wimbledon Hornets.

Because this is the first Quidditch game after Christmas, both teams have high winning voices, next summer is the Quidditch World Cup and many other reasons, the game is very popular, one vote is hard to ask for, thanks to Sirius getting the tickets.

After discussion, everyone decided to go to the game before going back to school and invite the Weasley family to join them.

Ivan walks down the stairs, and these are the things he needs to do for the rest of his Christmas holiday, the most important of which is to improve his strength.

Leaky Cauldron Bar is a mess on the ground floor with no Christmas vibes at all last night.

Almost overnight, the tavern recovered from a lively Christmas party setting to look small and dirty as if it hadn't been cleaned for centuries.

But the air doesn't smell bad, it smells like food.

Bar owner Tom stood behind a dilapidated bar, grilling a string of perfumed sausages, and when he saw Evan, he had an ugly smile on his face.

“Good morning, Mr. Mason! ”

“Good morning!” Ivan said hello.

Not far from the hall, Lupin, Sirius and Hermione are up, sitting around a round table eating breakfast and happily discussing what.

As if Ivan was expected, they prepared a breakfast for him.

“Just in time, Ivan, we were just talking about you!” When Ivan walked in, Sirius waved, indicating that he was sitting beside himself, opening the door to the mountains and saying, "I just heard from Rhymes and Hermione that you were planning to rent a house in Diagonal Alley? ”

“Exactly!” Ivan nodded, wondering why Sirius had mentioned this, and he took over the milk Hermione handed over, explaining, "I have carefully considered what Professor Lupin must do to further expand Hogwarts Magic sales and influence, like Prophet Daily to move the newspaper's headquarters to Diagonal Alley, so that Professor Lupin can also manage..."

“Have you chosen your seat?” Sirius asks, "Diagonal Alley stores are not cheap to rent, which requires a large amount of gold gallon! ”

Ivan shook his head, and in fact, that's exactly what he had a headache about.

While Ivan has made a lot of money from Hogwarts Magic's costly advertising over the past two years, he is also costly.

Not to mention the cost of sponsoring various magic research projects for Fred, George, Hermione, and other little wizards, which cost him the vast majority of his income by simply asking Richmond Bookstore to collect precious magic books and buy large quantities of magic materials.

Ivan now has about two hundred gold gallons of money available, which he can only pick one store in a remote location, hoping not to be too biased.

The most distressing thing is that he can't spend all that money.

Ivan must leave a part as a daily newspaper turnaround and to buy the necessary magic test materials, as well as things that need to be enhanced...

The amount of money you need to spend on your magic boost is a completely bottomless hole.

Don't say 200 gold gallons, just give him another 2,000 gold gallons, it's not enough for him.

Ivan sighed, and from either point of view, he had to find a project that could make a lot of money in the long run.

The operation of newspapers, although profitable, was far from sufficient, and newspapers were operated primarily to increase influence and control public opinion, and the money-making aspect was secondary.

And Hogwarts Magic has reached a bottleneck in its revenues, which is hard to improve in a short period of time.

As for viable profitability projects, Ivan currently knows only one.

That's Fred and George's Weasley prank product, and they make these things that are very popular with other little wizards. Making money is not an issue if it doesn't come as a surprise and can even become the biggest brand of prank products in the magic world.

The problem now is that to get all those ideas out of their heads and open the pipeline, they still need a lot of Golden Gallon investment in the first period.

Without that money, Fred and George were even less likely to have it, and almost all of their previous R&D expenses were sponsored by Ivan.

Also, to make jokes, you need to rent a shop in Diagonal Lane.

All the questions are back to square one, and they don't have enough money to rent the right store in Diagonal Alley.

The Weasley joke shop thing goes backwards, but the newspaper headquarters thing is imminent and must be resolved in the days of Christmas holiday, not until next summer.

Evan calculated that a shop is not too remote, and based on the surrounding conditions and human flow, the annual rent ranges from 300 to 500 gold gallons.

That means he'll have to find a way to get at least two hundred gold gallons.

Ivan was ready to identify the specific store first, and the money on hand could be used as rent. If, at the end of the day, there is really no way, in his personal collection, there are many precious magic books and some already refined magic potions that can be sold first.

But Ivan wouldn't do that if he had to.

He was thinking of a quick way to get 200 gold gallons, even if he reached out to his family and asked for it, his parents wouldn't give him so much money at once.

You want to borrow money, you can barely borrow it.

Whether it's the Weasley family or Lupin, Harry, Hermione, or Ivan, these people are fairly economical, or even difficult, unless...

Ivan suddenly remembered Sirius, who had been in Azkaban for twelve years, but who, as the sole heir of the noblest and oldest Black family, still possessed incredible wealth that ordinary people could not imagine.

As you can see from his random Christmas gift for Harry with a crossbow, he's not bad for money, not to mention a few hundred gold gallons.

Evan's eyes lit up and before he could open his mouth, he heard Sirius continue.

“I can help you with the house, and if I remember correctly, there are several shops in Diagonal Alley that are the heritage of the ancestors, and you can always use them if you need them.” Sirius said indifferently, "Otherwise I would be idle there, and if I lease it out, I don't have time to manage it or collect the rent. ”

Upon hearing Sirius, Ivan stood still. He had just raised the idea, and the other party had already raised the matter. Obviously, he had planned to do so long ago. So this is what he had just said to Lupin and Hermione.

Ivan is anxious to thank Sirius, but he says these things don't have to be on his mind.

In Sirius' view, this small busy offering several shops is nothing compared to what Ivan helped himself do before.

Sirius can't remember the exact number and location of the store because it's been too long.

When Harry arrived, they discussed it for a while, and decided to go after breakfast to the Blacks' vault in the Palace of Goodlings to find the deeds.

Ivan was also curious about the Blake family vault, and he wanted to see how amazing the wealth the pureblood family had accumulated over the past millennium.
