I've already become a Hogwarts professor, and the system only just appeared.

In other words, starting today, Su Yu has become a true Hogwarts Board of Trustees. Su Yu does not intend to reveal this news in the short term. He still authorizes Avery with the rights of the Board of Trustees, and everything seems to be the same as before.

Chapter 70 Strategic Development

Rita Skeeter left, and Su Yu, Lupin, and Avery returned to the meeting room inside the store.

Upon entering the room, Avery's attitude immediately underwent a complete 180-degree change. He bowed respectfully to Su Yu and said, "Mr. Su, is there anything else I can do for you?"

Su Yu said, "You don't need to do anything. Everything will be the same as before. If Voldemort contacts you, notify me immediately."

"Black... Voldemort... is he really still alive?" Avery's expression was rather grim.

Su Yu said with a half-smile, "Didn't he already contact you? Don't tell me that sending Dumbledore to the Department of Mysteries in June was your own last-minute decision!"

"Ah... Mr. Su is indeed incredibly insightful; nothing can be hidden from you!" Avery finally lowered his head and flattered him.

"Alright, go back now. One last piece of advice: don't try to remove the brain-devouring worm or try to hide anything from me, or you'll die!" Su Yu took out the bead again and shook it.

“I understand!” After saying that, Avery and the other two left.

"Su, is it really okay to let him go like this?" Lu Ping was still somewhat worried.

Su Yu said confidently, "Don't worry, once he suffers a few times, he'll truly realize the terror of the brain-devouring worm."

“What if Voldemort helps him remove the Brain-Eating Worm?” Lupin asked.

Su Yu shook his head: "The brain-devouring worm will slowly devour his brain and replace the part that was devoured. Over time, the brain-devouring worm will become his brain."

Su Yu said, "Voldemort might be able to help him get it out, but Avery will just become a corpse. He's a smart man and knows how to choose. Besides, I can also use this thing to influence his mind."

Lupin felt a chill run down his spine. This thing was almost identical to the Imperius Curse, but since the target was a Death Eater, Lupin naturally wouldn't let his compassion get the better of him. He was just glad that Su Yu was on the side of justice.

At 6 PM in the UK, which is exactly 1 PM in the US, Old Stuart had just started work when his phone suddenly rang. He looked at it and saw it was a new system message.

Ding! A new app has been added to the app store: "Today's Headlines." Stay up-to-date with the latest happenings in the British wizarding world anytime, anywhere. Be the first to experience it!

Since the Magic Network went online, Old Stuart has gradually come to understand Su Yu's strategy. The mobile phone is just a medium; it might make a quick buck, but for long-term benefits, the Magic Network is the better option.

He had actually been thinking about how to profit from the magic network, and when he saw a new application, he immediately clicked on it, downloaded and installed Toutiao.

Front-page headline: Feather Magic Phones and the Avery family have reached a strategic partnership, which may change the landscape of communication in the wizarding world!

Below is a photo and article of Su Yu and Avery shaking hands, detailing Rita Skeeter's interview with the two, and their optimistic outlook on the future of wizard communications.

Old Stuart continued flipping through the pages, discovering many other tidbits about the British wizarding world, such as the capture of a hidden dark wizard in Diagon Alley, or the harmonious relationship between a wizarding family and their Muggle neighbors.

Finally, old Stuart even saw an advertisement for Honeydukes candy store that featured their signature sizzling honey candy and chocolate frog.

There were also comments below; Stuart opened the page and saw someone had left a message:

"Zzzy Honey Candy, my favorite!"

"I'm in the US, how can I get this honey candy? Are there any manufacturers in the US that make this?"

"I'm in France, asking the same question!"

"They sell chocolate frogs on XX Street in New York, but I don't think they have honey candy. Hopefully they will in the future!"

……

Looking at these comments, old Stuart slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. So that's how it works; so that's how the Magic Network makes money.

No, no, that's not all. This Toutiao (Today's Headlines) is definitely not just for profit; it's also a mouthpiece. Does Su Yu want to manipulate public opinion in the wizarding world? If it's not Su Yu, he's not qualified. Could it be Dumbledore?

Has Dumbledore finally decided to seize power? For a moment, many images flashed through Stuart's mind, including that man from fifty years ago.

However, these are matters for the British Ministry of Magic, and have nothing to do with me. The American magical community is no longer what it used to be and is fully capable of handling them.

At this moment, Stuart was still concerned with how to expand his family's influence and business, so he immediately sent a message to Su Yu:

"Su, I want to start a newspaper too!"

Upon seeing the news, Su Yu's lips curled into a smile, and he asked, "Which newspaper?"

"Don't play dumb with me, kid. I want to make an app like Toutiao!" Old Stuart said directly, not wanting to beat around the bush.

Su Yu pretended to be troubled: "Stuart, do you know how much magic power it takes to maintain a global network of wizards? Maintaining just one Toutiao is already our limit."

Stuart's face immediately darkened: "Just tell me, how much do you want?"

Seeing that Stuart was so cooperative, Su Yu laughed and said, "Hehe, it's not too high. We've known each other for a long time. I'll just charge 10,000 Galleons a year."

"Ten thousand Galleons? Are you crazy! Five thousand at most!" Stuart said with an angry expression.

“Five thousand won’t do. It wouldn’t even cover the cost of hiring someone to maintain the magic network server. It’s absolutely impossible!” Su Yu argued.

After a long back and forth, Su Yu finally tearfully reduced the annual service fee to eight thousand Galleons. In addition, Stuart also had to pay Su Yu a one-time software development fee of five thousand Galleons.

The two sides quickly reached a verbal agreement, and Su Yu also created a group for Stuart and added the five members of Raven Feather to the group as well.

After briefly explaining Stuart's requirements, Su Yu said in the Raven Feather group, "After you complete this project, each of you will receive a bonus of 100 Galleons."

"Professor Su is so generous!" the five children exclaimed excitedly. Little did they know that Su Yu's profit from this one small project was tens of thousands of gold gallons, a profit that would make even capitalists weep.

Besides old Stuart, there are many other intelligent people in the world. The first one is the owner of the Daily Prophet, who immediately asked someone to find Su Yu.

Su Yu completely ignored him. Toutiao was his own business, and it had just been launched. If he immediately launched another one, Prophet's Daily, it would be stealing his traffic.

However, Su Yu knew in his heart that he couldn't stop it. The Daily Prophet had the backing of the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic wouldn't let him monopolize the media attention.

Therefore, Su Yu could only postpone the release of the Prophet's Daily to buy time, both to build up enough reputation for Toutiao and to prepare for raising prices later.

Time flies, and it was already the end of July. Hermione suddenly sent Su Yu a message: "Professor Su, I think something might have happened to Harry!"

Chapter 71 Birthday Rescue (Part 1)

When Su Yu saw Hermione's message, he had a rough idea of ​​what it was about, but now that Harry had a magic phone, he shouldn't be unable to contact the outside world!

"Harry's in trouble? What happened?" Su Yu asked.

Hermione quickly replied: "Harry hasn't replied to my messages for half a month. He doesn't reply to Ron's messages either, and he hasn't posted on social media."

“Ron and I both wrote to him, but we still didn’t get a reply. It was as if he had just disappeared from the world.”

Just then, the system notification sounded: Ding! Congratulations on triggering the main quest, The Boy Who Lived by a Thread 3.

Mission objective: Your friend Harry Potter seems to have encountered some accident and lost contact with the outside world. Please find Harry Potter and find out why he went missing before August 1st. The reward for completing the mission is one free skill point.

Su Yu stroked his chin. It seemed that the Malfoy family's elf had likely stolen Harry's magic phone as well. This task was really no challenge for him.

"What are you planning to do?" Su Yu asked Hermione.

“I don’t know, but Ron said he’s planning to go to Harry’s aunt’s house with his brothers on Harry’s birthday. But I’m worried they might cause trouble, so I came to you.” Hermione explained Ron’s plan in detail.

"Okay, I'll handle this, don't worry." After saying that, Su Yu contacted the twins and Arthur Weasley, telling them not to act rashly and that he would handle the matter.

On the evening of July 31, Su Yu brought Timo to London, to 4 Privet Road in Little Wheeington. They did not use the Phantom Teleportation, but instead drove Su Yu's Bentley.

Su Yu told Timo to wait in the car while he went alone and knocked on Aunt Harry's door.

When the door opened, Su Yu saw five people in the house, the two extra ones presumably being Vernon's so-called big clients.

Vernon didn't immediately realize that Su Yu was a wizard. Firstly, Su Yu's clothes were quite fashionable, and secondly, the Bentley under the streetlight not far away was clearly not a cheap car.

"May I ask who you are?" Vernon asked politely.

"Hello, my name is Su Yu, and I'm a professor at Hogwarts. I'm here to see Harry Potter. I heard from a classmate that he's been out of contact recently." Su Yu was quite polite.

Upon hearing "Hogwarts," Vernon's expression instantly changed, and Penny and Dali behind him widened their eyes in disbelief.

"There's no Harry Potter here, you've come to the wrong place!" Vernon's attitude changed completely, and he was about to close the door.

Su Yu didn't actually have much aversion to the Dursleys. To be fair, the younger sister died, and the older sister adopted her nephew.

Raising her nephew without any financial assistance, even setting aside the main character Harry Potter, is actually quite touching.

But the Dursleys were quite strange. They were afraid of wizards, and even harbored some envy and jealousy, yet when facing wizards, they would act extremely domineering.

In psychology, this should be considered a contradictory psychological manifestation of having extremely high self-esteem but also being extremely self-conscious.

Su Yu didn't dislike them, but he would never indulge them. He said, "Mr. Dursley, I advise you to think carefully about whether you can bear the consequences of refusing me."

Sure enough, Vernon's hand, which was closing the door, paused. His expression became very conflicted, and he even turned red in the face from holding his breath.

Su Yu ignored him and walked into the Dursleys' house on his own. He nodded to the other two guests and said, "Good evening! If it's convenient, I suggest you leave first. Something bad might happen here later."

"Who are you, and what gives you the right to be in my house..." Little Darli spoke first.

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yu raised a finger and gently shushed him, and Dali immediately shut his mouth, only able to make muffled sounds.

"I think everyone has no objections!" Su Yu said with a smile.

Seeing such a strange situation, the two guests realized that this was a dangerous place and they should not stay any longer, so they immediately bid farewell to Vernon and left.

Vernon's face turned from red to black as he glared at Su Yu and said, "My order is gone. Are you satisfied now? The Harry Potter you're looking for is upstairs. Go up yourself!"

Su Yu ignored him and went straight upstairs to Harry's room. Harry was extremely excited to see Su Yu and immediately gave him a hug, saying eagerly:

"Professor Su, it's so good that you could come. A house-elf stole my magic phone and intercepted all the letters addressed to me..."

Harry rattled off a whole bunch of complaints, and after listening to all of them, Su Yu finally asked, "A house-elf? How did you find him?"

“He told me himself, and he also said that there was a conspiracy brewing and that my life would be in danger if I went to Hogwarts,” Harry explained.

Su Yu nodded, took out his phone and sent a message to Timo: "Are there any other house-pocket creatures nearby?"

"I don't think so, Master!" Timo replied quickly.

It seems they've already left. Su Yu thought there would be a battle.

"Alright, Harry, pack your things, we're getting ready to leave." Su Yu didn't want to pursue the matter further; he wanted to complete the mission and get the reward first.

"Really? You can take me away?" Harry was overjoyed and quickly added, "I promised, I'll pack right now."

“No, you can’t take him away. We are his guardians, and you have no right to do so.” Vernon walked up at this point, clearly dissatisfied.

"You don't like Harry, right?" Su Yu asked.

"That's right!"

"Wouldn't it be just what you wanted for me to take him away?" Su Yu said.

“No…no, you…you don’t have that right…” Vernon stubbornly insisted.

Su Yu thought about it. In the original story, Vernon almost threw himself out of the window to stop Harry from going to Hogwarts. But why was that? Wouldn't it have been easier for him if Harry had left?
