Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"No need," said Wade. "Just transfer it directly to my vault - number 317. You can contact the goblin Kuller at Gringotts. I hope to see the news of the Galleons being deposited in the letter on Monday."

Next Monday, Gringotts would, as usual, send Wade an account of the changes in funds in his vault, down to the minute details of every change in the number of Knuts.

It's Saturday now.

This means that Malfoy had better transfer the money immediately after returning.

In everyone's perception, teenagers will only complain about having too little pocket money, but they will not ask for payment so blatantly.

Malfoy gave Wade a strange look, took the box, and left without looking back.

Later, Crabbe also said goodbye.

"The Flow Mirror is a very good invention. In the future, every wizard family may want to own one. But at 6,000 Galleons, only the nobles may be able to afford it."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Professor, if you want to buy one, it only costs 30 Galleons."

Vader paused and added, "This is the internal price."

"And what's the normal price?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"About a hundred, maybe? That depends on Mr. Marchionne's opinion."

Vader thought for a moment and said.

Dumbledore couldn't help but remain silent when he thought of Malfoy's generous gift of 6000 Galleons.

When Malfoy finds out the normal price, he’ll be so angry!

Of course, considering how scarce two-way mirrors were in the past, this price doesn’t seem so outrageous.

Wade coughed dryly and explained, "It's like this, he bought a set... The mother mirror is not for sale and is much more expensive."

"If you sell it for 100 Galleons, will you make money?" asked Dumbledore.

In fact, he rarely cared about business and economic issues, but since it was related to Wade, he also wanted to learn about it.

"You can only make a little money," said Weed. "But if it's more expensive, many people can't afford it. TV... I mean, things like streaming media, the more viewers there are, the greater its value will be."

100 Galleons may sound like a lot, but it is actually affordable for most people.

For example, Filch, who earns 15 Galleons a week and lives in school, can easily buy himself a "TV" if he saves for two months.

For example, the Weasley family is notoriously poor in the wizarding world, but with Arthur Weasley's salary, if he lives frugally, he can save enough for a few months.

The main reason why the Weasley family lived a tight life was because the couple had no habit of saving and basically lived paycheck to paycheck every month, so much so that when the children started school, there were not even two gold Galleons in the entire vault.

In fact, most wizards are very self-sufficient and attach much less importance to money than Muggles. If they want, they can even go without spending money for years.

For example, Dumbledore did not pay himself a very high salary as headmaster, but he still saved a lot of money.

But after hearing Wade's price, Dumbledore immediately took out the money and bought a mirror from Wade.

He fiddled with the mirror and noticed some switches on the side. After turning them on, he asked curiously, "Why is there no picture?"

"The content will be displayed after the broadcast begins."

Wade came over and introduced the man, who was over a hundred years old:

"If you're someone who doesn't know magic, you can adjust the sound with this knob on the side."

"At present, the sub-mirrors can only play the same pictures, but within a year, we will allow viewers to choose at least three programs at the same time..."

Dumbledore understood immediately: "Just like Muggle TV... can you change channels?"

"Yes."

“Can this mirror do that?”

"Of course not." Wade smiled like a capitalist: "It doesn't have such a function yet!"

Dumbledore looked at him with a smile: "... Vader?"

"Ok?"

"You do know that magic is dangerous, right?"

Vader blinked, "Of course."

"Then do you know how many attacks Mr. Marchionne has encountered?" Dumbledore asked again.

Wade was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe by then... there will be a service like exchanging old items for new ones?"

Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction.

I won't stay up late today, there's only one chapter left

Chapter 263 Father and Son

"boom!"

The door didn't actually close loudly, but Draco still shuddered involuntarily.

He didn't dare look up at his father's eyes.

His mother was left outside, as was the professor.

A slightly cold hand pressed on his shoulder, and Lucius softened slightly when he felt the child's body tense.

"You know what I'm going to say, Draco."

He said in a low voice.

"Yes."

Draco lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Lucius asked.

Draco stared at the floor, stiffly repeating what the professor and the school doctor had repeated several times before -

"The Gut-pulling Curse is a very dangerous magic. I shouldn't have used it on my classmates... Even though Vincent is annoying, I don't want him to become like this..."

"Wrong, Draco."

Lucius patted his shoulders twice, neither too lightly nor too heavily, and said:

"Your biggest mistake was learning a magic that you didn't understand at all—"

Draco looked somewhat resistant.

He knew that his father had also learned a lot of black magic spells before entering school, and they were taught to him by his grandfather himself.

Even when Draco himself entered school, Lucius taught him some "little self-defense tips".

Then he heard his father say:

"——You only saw the harm he brought to Vincent, but have you ever thought about what if this spell worked on you?"

The boy looked up in horror and blurted out subconsciously: "Can it also work on the wizard himself?"

"of course."

Lucius said calmly, "There was a wizard from the Everly family who had a blocked intestine. He wanted to be lazy and used the Evisceral Spell to solve the problem directly, but ended up emptying half of his stomach."

Thinking of Vincent's miserable appearance, Draco shuddered violently.

"So can you understand? How worried your mother and I were when we received Severus' message... worried that something might happen to you." Lucius said.

For some unknown reason, Snape was vague in his message, intentionally misleading them into thinking that Draco was in trouble.

At that time, Lucius wanted to kill someone, and he had already thought about how to use the power of the twelve directors to drive out the incompetent headmaster Dumbledore.

As a result, when I arrived at the school, I ran into Crabbe and was almost beaten. Only then did I understand the whole story.

Lucius Malfoy's momentum suddenly disappeared like a punctured balloon, and he began to think calmly about how to calm the impact of this incident.

Facing his obviously terrified son, Lucius ultimately did not punish him severely as he had hoped. Instead, he warned Draco of the worst consequences in a relatively gentle manner, and repeatedly emphasized to him -

Don't learn dangerous magic, even the most common ones. Throughout history, there are many wizards who were killed by their own magic.

Dad can take care of this problem (26000 Galleons), but you must be careful next time and not be so impulsive. Spend more time studying or Quidditch.

You, a Slytherin student, must be like a snake... a snake is a carnivorous creature that stalks the shadows and is most dangerous when it exposes itself to the sun.

Don't worry that Vincent will take revenge when he returns to school. Dad will always support you.

Also, when facing conflicts with classmates, don’t retaliate directly. You can handle it like this…

Lucius imparted a lot of his experience.

And in the process, Severus Snape's name was repeatedly brought up as an example, letting Draco know that his terrible head of house had also been bullied by his classmates when he was young, which made him laugh out loud from time to time.

So forty minutes later, Lucius walked out of the empty classroom, holding his son's shoulders.

Snape was somewhat surprised to see that Draco actually had a slightly relaxed smile on his lips, and his cheeks were a little rosy because of it. He didn't look like he had been scolded at all.

He raised an eyebrow and glanced at the elder Malfoy.

—Is this still the Lucius Malfoy he knew?

Seeing Snape's expressionless face, the mockery and even contempt that Draco had just felt in his heart disappeared instantly.

He realized that the tall man in front of him was not the poor little villain in the story (Lucius only told the part where Snape was bullied), but a mature, powerful, and bad-tempered dean of the college.

Draco's smile suddenly disappeared.

He watched his parents exchange a few words with the dean. Their address was intimate, but their attitude seemed strange.

Before leaving, Lucius said, "Then I'll leave Draco's detention to you, Severus."

Draco looked at his father in astonishment, who had just been patient and persuasive.

"No problem." Professor Snape raised a malicious smile: "It just so happens that I still have a lot of potion materials to deal with."

For example, bat wings, beetle eyes, cockroach antennae, etc.

Draco turned pale again.

How he wished his father could take him away with him!
