Hogwarts: What bad intentions could the little badger have?

Hermione just left like that.

"Oh... I've learned my lesson. Sometimes when making a plan, you have to take into account people who don't play by the rules." Blake sighed softly.

But if you think Blake will do his homework tonight, you are wrong.

An hour later.

Room of Requirement.

Blake was writing furiously in a diary.

"Senior Tom, this Transfiguration paper is really difficult. I can't even do this homework..."

"…What? You help me do it? That would be so embarrassing!"

"Oh, you need a little ink? No problem!"

Then Blake took two bottles of ink and poured them into the diary.

After Blake had automatically copied all the essays written in the diary onto parchment with the magic quill pen...

Another sentence popped up in the diary.

"I have already helped you with your homework, so can you please..."

But the writing in the diary has not yet been completed.

Blake took out his wand and pointed at the diary with a smile on his face.

"Everything is forgotten!"

Diary: Wo Ri...

After a while.

Another line of words appeared in the diary.

"Hello, my name is Tom Riddle..."

……

A few days later.

Snape returned to Hogwarts before his weekend Potions class.

Blake, who had received the news long ago, came to the door immediately.

Now that Snape is back, it means his shop should be set up.

"I have given you all the five thousand gold Galleons. Not even a copper Knut is left."

Snape said to Black expressionlessly.

He received Blake at the door of his office.

He wasn't even allowed to enter the door...

Of course, Blake, who had long been accustomed to it, had no time to argue with him about it.

He wanted to go and see how awesome this store, which cost five thousand gold galleons to open, was.

In terms of ability to get things done, Black still thinks Snape is reliable.

Otherwise he wouldn't have gained Dumbledore's trust.

Of course, before that, he went back to the top of the mountain in person.

Took back the Vanishing Cabinet from Agatha who was training Bode.

Blake decided that it would be better for him to do such a commemorative act himself.

However, after hearing that a new store opened.

Everyone at the base of the mountain wants to see this shop.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, that potion shop will become their secret base in Diagon Alley in the future.

It is also a secret passage for going up and down the mountain.

So, Snape was sent to Diagon Alley by Black first.

Soon, Blake appeared in front of him with a large group of people.

Blake was very keen to notice the somewhat unnatural look on this guy's face.

Hiss...there won't be any mistakes, right?

After all, this is five thousand gold galleons...

However, when Black brought his people to the potion shop.

Even someone as steady as old Rep had a slight twitch on his face.

"You spent five thousand gold galleons on this shop?"

Black calmly pointed at the short, small and inconspicuous shop in front of him and asked Snape in front of him.

"Yes, I think it's not cost-effective to rent a store. Moreover, considering the real purpose of your opening a store...so I think it would be better to just buy this place."

·· ···Request flowers· ·········

"Well, plus the decoration and design of the store, I just used up your bag of gold galleons."

"It should still be a good deal...right..."

Snape's tone also became a little hesitant.

"Oh...I see..." Blake looked at the store expressionlessly.

When Old Rip saw Blake's silence, he knew that the little guy was about to get angry.

However, Blake did not lose his temper, but walked directly into the store.

Obviously, he still had some fantasies and wanted to see how awesome the store that cost so many gold galleons to decorate would be...

then……

Blake pulled up a chair and asked Snape with a smile.

"Professor Snape, this chair looks a little familiar to me."

The corners of Snape's mouth twitched slightly, but he still pretended to be calm.

"It may be the same style of chair, so you may find it familiar."

"Oh, is it so?"

Blake held up the chair and pointed to a small gap in it.

"Are all chairs nowadays so amazing? Chairs of the same style, even the gaps are exactly the same..."

"Probably... I don't really understand."

.... ... 0

Snape's expression became a little unnatural.

"Really? You don't quite understand?"

"Professor Snape, you actually know a lot..."

"Why do I feel that... this gap is so similar to the last time you hit me with a spoon and I used it to block it, and then it became dented?" Blake asked through gritting his teeth.

"Really? Maybe it's a coincidence." Snape said expressionlessly.

"Coincidence? You are too cruel to take kickbacks..."

Blake pointed at the messy decoration in the store with a smile.

"You take kickbacks, forget it. I can tolerate you replacing the tables and chairs as if you were redecorating the place."

"But... you actually moved the tables and chairs from your office here and treated them as new..."

"I finally know why you didn't let me into your office just now! Did you move it here?"

"Tell me, how can I bear it..."

"If you spend a few gold galleons to buy an old set from a second-hand furniture store, I'll think you're doing your best!"

"You are taking kickbacks so blatantly that you don't even bother to hide it from me..."

Snape coughed twice, "You have to know that it is very difficult to buy a store in Diagon Alley with 5,000 Galleons!"

"To be honest, after asking around, only the owner of this store is willing to sell..."

"Unless you're just renting it... But with all due respect, if you want a store to hide some secrets, then it's better for you to own the store!"

Blake said helplessly: "I admit that your idea of ​​buying a store is right. But..."

"This shop is definitely not worth five thousand gold galleons."

"Tell me, how much kickbacks did you take?"

Snape covered the pockets of his robes.

"I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"

Originally, Snape didn't have much concept of money.

But, thinking about the possibility of having a daughter in the future...

Snape couldn't help but want to save more benefits for her...

It’s not easy to save some money for milk powder, but we can’t let Blake take it back.

For a wealthy man like Blake, why not take advantage of the situation?

Besides, Snape felt that this was what he deserved.

Who asked Black to change the 30:70 ratio back to 19:1 in front of Snape?

What if you, Blake, change it behind no one's back?

If you do the first grade of junior high school, I will do the fifteenth grade.

Therefore, Snape had no psychological burden at all when taking kickbacks!

The Black people were numb.

This is because I have already spoiled my daughter before she was even born...

Chapter 296 Grindelwald: Transfer to another school? There are many pretty girls in our school!

Although Snape was indeed very cruel in taking kickbacks.

But there is one thing he did not lie about.

That is the entire Diagon Alley, and only the owner of this shop near Knockturn Alley is willing to sell the shop.

Diagon Alley is the most prosperous place in the entire British wizarding world.

It's okay to open a store in this place, as long as what you sell is not too weird.

Basically, it is unlikely to lose money.

Therefore, the shops in Diagon Alley are the goose that lays golden eggs.

Most people would not be willing to sell the goose that lays golden eggs.

You can live comfortably just by collecting rent every month, so why sell the store?

No matter how many gold galleons you have, they will all be spent one day.

But if you have a store, you can open it yourself or rent it to someone else.

There is an endless supply of gold galleons...

but……

The store that Snape bought was in a really bad location, right next to the exit of Knockturn Alley.

Because of the infamous Knockturn Alley.

Therefore, people passing by here will leave quickly.

I won't stop at all.
