Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Chapter 17 Selling a house and moving, a win-win situation for both parties

"What! You want to sell this house?"

"how do you know?"

Harry and Sirius spoke almost simultaneously.

It's just that the former is asking Sirius, and the latter is asking Clark.

"Yes, I want to move away from here and change to a better environment." Sirius explained to Harry.

Clark answered him, "You have been back for a month, but I don't see that you have cleaned those rooms at all. It doesn't look like you are planning to stay there for a long time."

As he spoke, he laughed again, "Besides, the entire British magic world is so big, and the fact that the Black family is selling their ancestral home has long been spread in the circle."

"But, I think this place is pretty good," Harry looked at Sirius in confusion, "This is your ancestral home, the place where you grew up. You want to sell it because you brought me here to live there. , so you have no money?”

Harry looked at the empty display shelves around him, and then at the unkempt Sirius.

"If you are short of money, I still have some money in Gringotts. It was left by my father and the others. You are my godfather. If you need it..."

"No, no need!"

Sirius waved his hands repeatedly, but Clark guessed part of the reason and asked tentatively: "You must be very tired living here!"

The room suddenly became quiet, and Sirius fell into silence. After a long time, he showed a bitter smile, as if everything was silent.

Harry quickly reacted and understood what Clark meant.

It is precisely because this ancestral house carries so many bad memories for Sirius Black that he feels particularly uncomfortable when he moves in.

Perhaps he desperately hopes to make a break with the bad past so that he can start a new life.

"Actually, I have already found a new house. It is in Hogsmeade Village. The prices of houses there are now greatly reduced. The money in my family is more than enough. As for the funds from selling the house, it can allow us to live a decent life. life."

Sirius smiled and told him his plan, and Harry felt relieved.

However, Clark had different opinions on Sirius's decision, "Hogsmeade? From an investment perspective, I don't really recommend you buy your new house there."

"Why?" Sirius asked confused.

"Of course it's because there is no investment value there for the time being!" Clark said matter-of-factly, "Buying a house means buying the location, supporting facilities, and environment. What is there in Hogsmeade? The place is shabby and there are few shops on the street. Just a few candy stores and taverns.”

As he said this he glanced at Harry again.

"There are some unscrupulous people wandering around there every day. If you buy a house there, it won't be of much help to Harry's learning and growth.

There is a mother in China who moved three times for her child's education, just to have good neighbors so that her child can receive a good education.

As Harry's godfather and guardian, you should consider these things. "

After hearing Clark's words, Sirius, who didn't think there was any problem at first, began to fall into deep thought. After hearing what he said, the house in Hogsmeade didn't seem to be that good.

"Then where should I buy a house? Do I still want to live here?" Sirius asked.

"Here?" Clark looked around the empty treasure room, making Sirius feel embarrassed before he said.

“Although this place is close to the center of London, it is just a slum, and even Muggles are not very happy to live here.

Of course, this problem may be an advantage for old-school wizards. After all, they live in isolation for fear of being discovered by Muggles.

But things are different now. There are more and more wizards like Harry who grew up in Muggle families, and their social habits are completely different from those old wizards in the past.

If you ask them not to shop, not to socialize, not to hang out, or to go to dinner parties, that is impossible! "

This was so reasonable that even Harry couldn't help but nod.

Before he came, he only wanted to get away from Uncle Vernon and his family and live with his godfather.

But after Clark said this, he felt particularly depressed when he thought about living here in the future, surrounded by such an environment.

On the other hand, he could accept it in Hogsmeade.

"So, if you really want to buy a house, I recommend you a new property," Clark looked at the two of them and said word by word, "That is - Fire Dragon Community!"

"Fire Dragon Community?"

"Fire Dragon Community!"

"Where is that? I've never heard of this wizarding community." Sirius asked curiously.

"Of course you haven't heard of it," Clark explained with a smile, "This fire dragon community hasn't been built yet."

"It hasn't been built yet?" Sirius and Harry looked confused. They haven't built it yet, so what are they buying?

"Yes, it hasn't been built yet," Clark nodded, "but this community has entered the planning process and the project is being approved."

Next, Clark introduced this property to Sirius and Harry in the Black family's treasure room.

"The Fire Dragon Community is a new wizarding community led by the Hogwarts School Board of Trustees and based on the excellent educational resources of Hogwarts and the rich work resources of the Dragon Farm Industrial Park.

The community address is planned to be built on the shores of Hogwarts Black Lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. When you open the window, you can see the majestic Hogwarts Castle, and feel the influence of knowledge day and night.

In addition, the community is surrounded by the largest dragon farm and fire dragon park in the UK, the most luxurious commercial shopping street (to be built) and the largest clustered industrial park (to be built).

In the not-too-distant future, there will also be childcare centers and modern community hospitals staffed with experienced property managers.

The entire Fire Dragon community will definitely become a new model and benchmark for the wizard community. It can be said that all aspects of your living needs are taken into consideration.

At least, it won't be like the streets here, where the roadside is full of garbage and no one has to clean it. "

Clark's words were indeed very attractive, and even Sirius had to admit that he was moved.

"Then how do you buy a house in this Fire Dragon Community?" he couldn't help but ask.

"This community is still under planning, but in order to take care of those of you who have received the news in advance and are willing to buy a house, the Fire Dragon Community has also launched a pre-sale activity in advance."

Clark looked like you were making a lot of money.

“When you place an order and sign a contract now, you can not only choose the location of the house in advance, but the down payment is only 30%.

In addition, we will help you register via Floo for free, and give you a one-year Fire Dragon Park Pass worth 100 gold galleons, which allows you to take one person to play in the Fire Dragon Park for free without purchasing a ticket. There is no need to queue up for planting projects.

Regarding the value of this card, I think you can ask Harry, he should be very clear. "

Harry nodded subconsciously. Of course he knew how popular the Fire Dragon Park was. Being able to get free tickets and not have to queue up. The 100 gold galleons for a card was indeed worth the price. If you go to play a few more times, you will get your money back.

"Then what is the house price in this Fire Dragon Community?" Sirius asked a little nervously. In his opinion, since this house is so good, the price must not be cheap.

"The price of the house is related to the layout and area. If you and Harry move there, three bedrooms will definitely be required. It is initially estimated that it will cost about 5,000 to 6,000 gold galleons."

"That's not bad." Sirius breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the offer. It was only more than 5,000 gold galleons. He still had this money, and he didn't even need to use the money from selling his ancestral home.

Clark also knew that Sirius could afford such a price. After all, the Firebolt he gave Harry last year cost several thousand gold galleons.

This suite only contained one or two competition-level broomsticks. Sirius, who had just been compensated a large sum of money by the Ministry of Magic, was absolutely stress-free.

Moreover, Clark and other developers have carefully calculated the pricing of the houses in the Fire Dragon Community.

Take Clark's uncle Arthur Weiss as an example. As a mid-level magician, his monthly salary is about 50 gold galleons.

The room in the Fire Dragon Community is almost equivalent to what he can afford if he works for 9 to 10 years without eating or drinking.

This price is exactly the standard that middle-level wizards in the magic world can achieve by gritting their teeth and working hard.

If it is more expensive, only a small number of wizards will be able to purchase it, which is not conducive to the normal development of the fire dragon community.

And if it were cheaper, it would be impossible to screen home buyers, and it would be difficult to maintain the high-end community image of Huolong Community.

So this price can be said to be just right.

“And if you buy a house in the Fire Dragon Community, you’ll make a profit.

You think it's just a house, but it's actually an investment.

I remember that the Ministry of Magic paid you a lot of money this time. Do you want to pile up those gold galleons in the basement of your home like your fathers? Or put them all in Gringotts?

That's the stupidest way. The gold Galleons in Gringotts won't give birth to little gold Galleons. What's the difference between putting money there and putting a pile of rocks there?

Rich people like us must learn to invest and capitalize, let money flow, and use money to make money.

Buying a house, especially a property with a good location and a small quantity, is precisely a means of investment preservation and even appreciation. "

Clark watched Sirius talk. At this moment, he was not fighting alone. The intermediary skills he saw on the Internet in his previous life were now transformed and thrown out by him.

How could a guy like Sirius Black, who had been in prison for more than ten years and had fallen out of touch with society, resist this? He was instantly moved by Clark's words and wanted to go to that fire dragon who didn't even have a shadow. Community, buy seven, eight, ten houses.

Of course, Clark didn't do this to trick Sirius.

The Fire Dragon Community project itself was previously discussed by the Hogwarts School Board of Directors. The Prewett family is solely responsible for the development of this project, and it will definitely not be an unfinished building.

Moreover, there is no concept of real estate in the British wizarding world today, and there is not even a commercial housing market, so there is no so-called real estate financial bubble.

When Sirius buys a house, he really makes money when he buys it.

As for why Clark did this, it was just an impromptu idea after he learned that Sirius was going to sell his house and move.

After all, what could be more attractive than the gimmick of the noble and pure Black family moving into the Fire Dragon Community even if they sell their ancestral home.

This will make the name of the Fire Dragon Community instantly famous in the British wizarding world, which is the same as asking a celebrity to endorse it in advertising.

Regarding this point, Clark also made it clear to Sirius directly.

Sirius didn't care about this kind of transaction that might damage the reputation of the Black family. Instead, after confirming that there was no problem, he said that he could buy another set.

"Harry will definitely use the new house when he gets married, so just think of it as an advance gift from me."

This sentence moved Harry to tears, and Clark was also very happy. He immediately said that he could use his internal authority to take out another house from some of the reserved houses.

So in the following time, Clark had forgotten about the Black family's treasure collection.

They talked about buying a house again, and then decided that it would be better to hit the right date.

The three of them first teleported to the empty Black Lake and walked around the community address Clark mentioned. Then Sirius paid the down payment for two houses at once and directly signed the letter of intent and contract to purchase the house.

"Congratulations, Mr. Black!" Clark handed the house purchase contract to Sirius's hand and held his hand tightly. "Soon, you will find out how wise it was for you to choose the Fire Dragon Community. chosen."

The two sides said goodbye to each other in a friendly atmosphere. Harry followed his godfather back to 13 Grimmauld Place, and Clark also prepared to return to his castle.

They agreed to meet again during the Quidditch World Cup.

As for the Black family's treasures, they have no foundation. They just sold them to others for two houses. What more bicycles are needed?

Clark returned home with a smile, turned around and passed the fireplace, and began to order his business manager, Mr. Pike, to find a group of people to set up the construction company and the development company first.

As for third-party supervision, the real estate industry in the magic world is still in a barren state. There is no need to consider supervision and acceptance, and it can just grow wildly.

After arranging the work, he remembered that he still had one unfinished task today.

Clark stood up, and naturally a house elf appeared in front of him.

"Are you ready with everything I want?"

"Master, everything has been moved to the basement." The elf quickly bent down and bowed.

Clark nodded, waved his hand to indicate that no one would follow him, and then came to the basement alone.

It was still the same room that Harry had been in, but now there were various supplies piled in the center of the magic circle on the ground.

There are sausages, lunch meat, bread, milk, tomatoes, potatoes, eggs, canned food and other foods, as well as bedding, clothes, shoes and other daily necessities.

In a large wooden box, you can even see some books, magazines, playing cards, inflatable dolls and other entertainment equipment.

These miscellaneous things filled the entire magic circle to the brim. The amount was enough to sustain a dozen people for half a month.

Clark was quite satisfied with this. He opened his hands and a subspace portal larger than the one he had used at Blake's house appeared above the basement.

The next moment, this silver-white vortex was like a huge mouth, swallowing up all these materials.
