Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

Jody had never had direct contact with Mr. Malfoy before. The last time I heard about him was something that Gibbs heard when he was conveying Damitir's movements to him.

"Do you have any special friendship with this Mr. Lucius?"

"That's a noble man, Mr. Lucius Malfoy, who has always been a leader among the pure blood. It is very important for me to gain my current status. I must know that like me

Small characters born in poverty must be recommended by someone to participate in the upper class.”

What is higher-ranking or not is said to be upper-ranking society, but in fact it is just some stable and solidified old-fashioned interest groups.

Since the headache began to relieve and the pain gradually disappeared, Lohat's words increased day by day, and soon exposed his talkative attributes. At this time, he put down the medicine bowl and laid his arm, and Barabala began to introduce the St. Bittery Manor.

Something about.

From his introduction, St. Bettery is the second most famous teaching institution in the UK except Hogwarts. Unlike Hogwarts, St. Bettery Manor belongs to the private training model, and there are a large number of outstanding teachers from there every year.

Go to various families to provide services to their offspring.

It was a very famous manor among pure bloods, but for the poor, Saint Bittery was something that belonged to other worlds.

"...You haven't seen it in person. The magical aura in that magic manor is so active, the beautiful courtyard and the sculptures that will dance in the air on weekends, and the flowers that are as warm as those fires.

Elf. There are also the housekeepers and women who are trained there, as well as the maids and bodyguards who have been trained since childhood…”

Jody recalled the memories she read seemed to have a similar picture flashed by.

It was difficult for Hogwarts to maintain its neutral position after the successive appearance of Dumbledore and Voldemort, and compared with that manor, it was truly neutral.

Jody carefully recalled the scale in his memory. No matter how big the manor is, it is just a manor. Moreover, if the magical organization loses the area, it will cost more to maintain the richness of its origin.

"…Hi, you have to talk about the scale. In recent years, everyone has been rumored that Hogwarts will be incorporated by the Ministry of Magic. Once it is incorporated, it will become Mr. Malfoy's thing. At that time, the status of the manor will definitely be affected.

Influence, so recently St. Bittery has been busy expanding. In order to expand the area, they need a lot of resources to solidify the space and maintain the mystery in it."

So, is it necessary to carry out a charity sale?

Jody heard some suspicious points and browsed, "So, as you say, are there actually conflicts between the interests behind St. Bittery and the interests led by Malfoy?"

"Hi! The conflict between big people is not like you and me, and you have to start fighting when you meet with your wand. The entanglements of interests between big people are so complicated!" Lohat waved his hand exaggeratedly, as if he was sighing for a small person like himself, "Since we are

It's already a group of people, I can tell you some gossip. In fact, there are some problems with the Malfoy family's finances."

Jody read a lot of information from Lockhart's mind, and there were many things that he really couldn't remember if he didn't mention them.

"It's just your speculation?"

"This is actually not a secret!" Lockhart proudly showed off his gossip, and remembered that he could not let others hear it, and lowered his voice a little guiltyly.

Jody did not make any extra moves, and the magic book automatically floated out and unfolded, casting a silent spell.

This brilliant magic operation made Lohart curl his lips.

"The Malfoy family declared property losses after Voldemort fell. Many people know that his family treasure house was looted by Death Eaters! Of course, I don't believe that the ancient pure blood family that passed on like him would be really poor.

, The funds Lucius invested in the Ministry of Magic over the years have combined to make an amazing huge sum of money!”

The Malfoy family lacks money? Jody was confused by this concept. How could the Malfoy family lack money? The good father in the second year after Scart Head started school was a whole Quidditch team.

Feitian broom, equivalent to the light wheel of a high-end sports car, is not a bargain.

Speaking of the Death Eater looting his treasure house? Stop it. Didn’t the Death Eater be with him? He took out the money for military expenses himself?

"...So Mr. Malfoy must have wanted to find a suitable way to make money when attending a charity party. The gentleman would invite me to the public and I must have liked my ability. The charity sale will attract many elites to find a way out.

It's a good opportunity to show yourself!"

"Are you sure you need to find someone to make up for the numbers?" Jody couldn't stand his excitement and inexplicably proud look.

"How is it possible? Every person who can be invited is a well-known figure in the magic world. You may not know that many magic shops start with self-display at these banquets, the development of many spells, and the formulation of potions.

The first development investment in the creation or the development of magic props is obtained from here. After all, magic research is very expensive."

Jody nodded in agreement, but he suddenly looked up at Lockhart when he thought of something the next moment, "What did you just mention?"

"What? Magic research is very expensive?"

"No, I mean investing..." Jody just felt that he had any thoughts wandering around his mind, waiting for him to hold it in hand.

"Most of the wealth of the magic world is gathered in the hands of these high-ranking people. What else can I do to raise funds besides finding them?"

The word investment kept shaking in front of Jody's eyes, and every time it shaking, there was a flowing water-like Jin Jialong coming out of this word.

Lockhart, who had spoken a lot more, found that Jody stopped talking, raised his head in confusion and saw that he looked complicated.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"What were you going to the dinner?" Jody had a bold plan.

"I? I haven't attended such a banquet a few times. If I can attend it, I must first appease my friends in the upper class. It's not that I brag, but that's a lot of ladies and wives like my books! Then it's for me.

Let’s create momentum for a new book, although I don’t know if the new book can be published successfully.”

According to the Book of Prophecy, Dumbledore's handle to catch Lohat should be the last time he used this as a condition to teach at Hogwarts. In other words, Old Deng did not plan to do anything to Roha at the beginning.

But Lockhart himself didn't know that in his opinion, the attention of the White Wizard had put him in an extremely dangerous situation. His uneasiness can be seen from his recent efforts to find someone to ask for help.

He would definitely agree to make quick money like this, right? Jody thought so.

"Put your original plan aside, and next I want you to serve my plan with all your heart. If you do it well, you may be able to make enough money for you to squander your life."

Lockhart first looked disbelief, then made up his mind to Zheng Keyou.

"Who are you... going to kidnap?"
