Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard

Chapter 81 The beginning of the third grade (5,000 chapters) The book friends are too rebellious, so okay, I beg the book friends to subscribe more

Gretel had a flashback when he saw Harry.

This was when Harry blew up Maggie into a balloon and escaped from the Dursleys.

Oh, luckily it was Harry who made things difficult for Maggie, but if it was Voldemort, grass would grow on her grave now.

"Grete, long time no see," Harry looked extremely excited and ran all the way to Grete's side.

How should I put it, Gretel didn't dislike this kind little boy, he just didn't want to get into trouble.

There are really too many troubles around the savior, not to mention Dumbledore's plan on him, not to mention Voldemort's eye on him, not to mention his trouble-making physique, and not to mention his reckless temperament.

Gretel is still willing to make friends with him.

At least, their relationship was getting along well when they were punished with clearing snowdrifts with the trio of saviors.

Gretel did not reject Harry's enthusiasm and took a big swallow of ice water to relieve his motion sickness.

He raised his cup from a distance to Harry who was running towards him, "Happy holidays, Harry."

Who would have thought that Harry ran to Gretel enthusiastically, only to become coy again.

"Gretel, I thought you didn't want to be friends with me. Last semester, Ron and I invited you to meet Hagrid, but you never came.

Ron also said that you are very rich now, probably richer than Malfoy and his family, and you will definitely not want to play with us. "

To be honest, Gretel really didn't have this idea.

I didn't play with Harry. First, I was busy. I had to think about the market trend of mobile phone charms every day. In addition, I also had to complete schoolwork and work on the next invention.

The second reason is that after the Chamber of Secrets incident, for some reason, he felt that Dumbledore's attitude towards him had changed, and it seemed that he was not as harmonious as before.

Harry is the most important link in Dumbledore's plan to defeat Voldemort. In order to avoid unnecessary suspicion caused by frequent contact, Gretel has reduced his contact with Harry.

Besides, if they really stay together, they will inevitably be affected by the savior's disaster physique.

Gretel took another sip of ice water and asked back, "Harry, do you think I am the kind of person Ron said?"

"How is it possible," Harry jumped excitedly, "The Malfoy family is so rich and you haven't made friends with them."

After saying that, Harry lowered his voice again, "Ron just said it casually. He didn't mean anything else. Gretel, don't think blindly."

Gretel looked at the cautious Harry and became a little silent. If Harry was not the savior.

Or maybe his own ideals are not that lofty, and he should become a true friend with this kind and sincere little wizard.

There was no silence for too long. The ice water in his hand was drank down in one gulp. Gretel laughed and nudged Harry's shoulder.

"It's okay, that guy Ron, he is just afraid that I will take away his only friend, don't you know that?"

Gretel winked mischievously, and Harry understood instantly and spread his hands with a wry smile.

Ron had always been unnatural when it came to Gretel, and he'd noticed it a long time ago.

"By the way, Grete, there is a delicious cold drink shop in Diagon Alley. I will treat you to ice cream later."

Harry shook the small pocket on his waist proudly. It looked so heavy that he must have been browsing the Potter family's vault.

"Okay, but it might have to wait. I have to go to my store to take care of some things. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Gretel turned to leave, but Harry pulled him and asked him hesitantly for a long time if he could go with Gretel.

After so many days, freedom was freedom, but in fact he still felt lonely. Suddenly he saw a friend, and he really didn't want to be separated from Gretel.

Especially, when Gretel barely said a few words to him last semester, he was afraid that he was a perfunctory child.

Gretel thought for a moment and saw Harry becoming pitiful.

He had seen that look before.

When he sneaked out of the orphanage to earn money, those little guys had this look on his face. They were afraid that he would never come back.

"Okay, if you're not bored."

Harry became excited almost instantly, quickly ran to the table, gathered up a pile of summer homework, and threw it into the room on the second floor of the bar.

——

As Grete had expected, the person who came to investigate was not an Auror from the Ministry of Magic, but two men, one tall and thin and one short and fat, from an inconspicuous development department.

Grete felt the stench of bureaucracy when he saw the two people.

The two men held their necks high and carelessly moved two chairs to block the entrance.

Saini held back his anger, held his wand and smiled in apology.

Gretel's arrival did not make Seni feel relieved. All he could feel was intense humiliation, humiliation from this group of disgusting bureaucrats from the old era.

Harry followed him almost at a trot, while Gretel's steps were fast and heavy. As he got closer to the store, his face became more serious.

No one wants to be targeted by the Ministry of Magic, especially those in the Development Office.

Everyone knows that once they are targeted, they will either face a lawsuit or suffer heavy losses in their pockets.

"If this is the attitude of the British Ministry of Magic, then our Great Communications Store would not mind moving to France across the channel."

Before the Gretel arrived, a loud voice entered the store.

He suppressed the anger in his heart. More than a month ago, before leaving Diagon Alley, he and Seani came to the store.

After experiencing piracy and being sanctioned, many people want a genuine Gretel mobile phone.

Even the prices at Gretel's store are barely reduced.

It could be said that it was crowded at that time. If it weren't for the back door, Gretel and Saini would hardly be able to enter the store.

But now, there is no one around, and the two big guys from the development office sit here, as if they have tied up two vicious dogs.

Let alone anyone entering the store to make a purchase, even when passing by the door, they have to stay far away and stick to the wall on the opposite side of the street.

Gretel's words were not a threat, he did have such considerations. He was about to enter the third grade, and once Peter Pettigrew defected, Voldemort's return would not be far away.

When the time comes, everyone will be in danger, so how can they have the heart to come here to shop and take care of his business.

In addition, the Investment Promotion Office of the French Ministry of Magic has sent an invitation, welcoming them to open a branch in Rue Louis, France.

Rue Louis, like Diagon Alley in England, is the commercial street of French wizards, but compared with Diagon Alley, it is a little bit depressed.

The two officials from the development office were dangling their feet and sipping cold drinks bought from the Florin cold drink shop.

After hearing Grete's words, he instantly became nervous.

They just want to help their past partners as backers, and if possible, make some money for their own wallets.

But I never thought about forcing Gretel Communications Store away from Diagon Alley.

If Gretel really moved the store from Diagon Alley to Louis Street in a fit of rage, their superiors would skin them without anyone else.

In Diagon Alley, if other shops are making a lot of money every day, the income of Gretel Communications Store is millions of dollars.

In addition, no store pays taxes on time better than Grete Communication Store.

Such large taxpayers have long been on the Ministry of Magic's commendation list, and they even plan to give Gretel's shop the honor of being the best merchant at the end of the year.

In the past six months, before Sirius, a felon, escaped from Azkaban, Minister Fudge had never stopped smiling.

Others don't know. How can they, who come from various families to hang out in the Ministry of Magic, not know why?

Of course, it is because of the continuous taxation that the operation of the Ministry of Magic is freed from the influence of major families.

With ample tax balance, Fudge no longer has to lose face and collect annual donations from major families.

It's said to be collecting, but in fact it's just to torture these old nobles until they "kindly" "gift" a political donation.

When they thought about having such an important store move to the other side of the strait because of their own troubles, the Ministry of Magic was afraid of killing them.

If the Ministry of Magic still holds a grudge against their family because of this, the family will not let them go.

The two of them, who had been eating cold drinks just now and looked relaxed, suddenly broke out in cold sweat and apologized again and again.

The look of being arrogant in front and respectful in the back made the passers-by watching the fun couldn't help but laugh.

Coincidentally, because Harry lived in the bar and was afraid that Sirius would sneak in and assassinate him, Fudge would come here to visit every few days no matter how busy he was.

I didn't see Harry when I arrived at the bar today, so he came in.

When I got here, I happened to hear Grete’s words.

…

When Fudge left Diagon Alley, he made his attitude clear in front of everyone.

"I have never seen such a legal shop. As long as I, Fudge, am the Minister of Magic, I will not allow anyone to come to Diagon Alley to cause damage. All shops can rest assured that our Ministry of Magic will conduct self-examination from now on. This will never happen again."

Harry imitated Fudge as he sipped his cold drink.

"Gretel, do you think I can become an extremely responsible Minister of Magic like Mr. Fudge in the future?"

To be honest, Gretel didn't believe what Fudge would do to these two people. If they really had to deal with it, they should have been banned as Ministry of Magic officials just now.

Instead of raising it high, put it down gently.

According to the identity information of the two people provided by Saini, Gretel knew that these two people were from established pure-blood families.

It's impossible for Fudge, an old cunning guy, to fall out with the deep-rooted purebloods because of him.

However, with Fudge's endorsement, the communications store will be stable for at least half a year.

This is the tacit understanding between Fudge and that group of people. All they have to do is to show Gretel their muscles and let Gretel know that they are not easy to mess with.

Even if they were tricked by him, they could get it back at any time. Sirius just gave them a reason.

But Gretel doesn't care, they have no intention of placing the organization's headquarters in the UK.

Once you get your own land, it won't matter whether you open this store or not.

According to the advice given to him by Grindelwald, if he intends to break the law of secrecy, he cannot leave Europe, Asia and America.

These three continents contain more than half of the world's wizards.

Once you leave these three places, you will be missing the most important manpower.

The second point is that many wizards outside these three continents still have a strong ancient style.

They don't care and don't bother to change, especially the African tribes who believe in their ancestors, and the wizards there are even more stubborn.

If Gretel moved the organization there, even without the Ministry of Magic taking action, the local wizards would accuse Gretel of blaspheming their faith with new ideas and drive Gretel and the others to death.

In this case, the best way is to choose a small country, Li Daitaojiang, first replace the Ministry of Magic there, and then lie dormant, and when the strength is enough, overturn the chessboard in one fell swoop.

When Grindelwald said these words, Gretel's expression was very strange.

He didn't understand why Grindelwald knew so well in his heart, but he seemed so rough when he acted.

If Grindelwald had really acted as he said, there's no telling who would be in charge of the wizarding world now.

——

However, Grindelwald's suggestion awakened Gretel.

What he wanted at the time was to lead his people overseas, wait until he had accumulated enough strength, and then sweep back.

Now this method is not a bad idea. In addition to the old powers such as Britain, France and Germany, other countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark, and the Czech Republic can fight alone with their current strength.

Coupled with the talents in the organization, it is not impossible to control the Ministry of Magic of a small country overnight.

This proposal was held by Grete in an online secret meeting with other people in the organization, and was approved by most people.

However, there are many other things to consider, such as base selection and construction.

Even if Li Daitao is dead, they must have a territory that truly belongs to them. At least there must be a safe place where they can safely store organizational assets.

Gringotts is not trustworthy, and the only thing that can give them peace of mind is their own castle.

And they also need to consider the Muggle government. No matter which country it is, the local Ministry of Magic and the head of the country have close ties.

For example, in the UK, the Ministry of Magic's Floo Network can directly connect to the Muggle Prime Minister's Office.

It is easy to subvert a country's Ministry of Magic, but it is not so easy to gain recognition from the Muggle government.

Just like wizards never trust goblins, Muggles never trust wizards.

The relationship between the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government is basically one of mutual use.

If they hit the door rashly like this, once the Muggle government discovers it, it may cause a war between Muggles and wizards.

Therefore, the country’s choice is extremely cautious.

These two most important things are also the issues that Grete and his nascent organization need to solve as a priority in the past two years.

There are still few manpower now. Apart from Seni and the other three graduates, we can only rely on the old saints of Grindelwald.

When Gretel made this request, Grindelwald's eyes dimmed a little and said that he wanted him to talk to the townspeople of Gordo Town himself.

He had already led them down the wrong path once, and this time he would no longer make decisions for them.

Different from the group of peers in school who entrusted their lives to themselves because of their imagination.

This group of old people who have experienced life and death have long passed the age of throwing their lives and blood by relying on slogans.

They admire Gretel and these young people because they see their young selves in Gretel.

Gretel knew it too, so he didn't give an inspiring speech like Grindelwald.

Instead, under the leadership of Estragon, they visited each family one after another.

Talking about the achievements they have made, talking about Seni and the others studying day and night, talking about the ideals of Ornbner, a child, and talking about the obscurity that still appears in the world from time to time.

Not many people are willing, but it is enough.

Gretel didn't need them to go up mountains of swords or seas of fire, or risk their lives.

They only need to be able to help them find out where is suitable for building a castle and which country is suitable for them to implement their plan before Gretel and his organization are launched.

——

Gretel has been living in Diagon Alley for two weeks, and it's time for school to start.

In the meantime, Gretel also discovered a capable person in Diagon Alley.

The owner of Florin's Cold Drink Shop.

Harry's history of magic thesis was completed here. No matter what questions Harry encountered, as long as Florin appeared, he would always get a perfect answer.

Even if Gretel memorized almost all the books in the Hogwarts library, he might not be able to answer those answers.

But Florin always had the right answer.

For those answers, Grete deduced based on the relevant literature he had read, and came to the conclusion that the news told by Boss Florin was 90% true.

Facing Gretel's curious gaze, Florin always shook his head mysteriously, refusing to reveal his true identity at all.

The morning of September 1st.

Grete blended into a group of redheads with a look of helplessness, while Ron still had a look of embarrassment and stubbornness on his face.

Today he was going to King's Cross Station with Harry and the Weasley family.

Yesterday, the last day of summer vacation, the Weasley family returned from Egypt and stayed at the Leaky Cauldron like Harry.

Early in the morning on the last day of August, when Gretel was sleeping soundly, Harry's voice sounded downstairs in the shop.

When he went downstairs, he saw the Weasley family. It must be said that Mrs. Molly was indeed a strong person with full social attributes.

Even if it was their first meeting, after hearing that he was a friend of Harry and Ron, pulling him was a compliment.

After hearing that he was the owner of such a big communications store at such a young age, Mrs. Molly even let him be someone else's child for a day.

This is why Ron has a bad face today.

However, in the entire Weasley family, only he and Ginny Weasley beside Harry were relatively indifferent to Gretel's arrival.

The attitude of the other Weasleys could be described as extremely enthusiastic.

Grete knew why.

Mrs. Molly is a simple social person, and she is happy that such a good person and her stupid son have become friends.

Mr. Weasley was asking Gretel whether the communication store needed to recruit people. After his trip to Egypt, he really felt that his salary was not enough to live as a family. He wanted to ask Gretel if the communication store needed people. No need for people to work part-time.

He is a well-known inventor in the Weasley family.

Percy Weasley had the same idea. He was even more enthusiastic than Mr. Arthur Weasley, and would smile at Gretel from time to time.

Ron was still sarcastic about his brother. He said he remembered Percy saying that he would work in the Ministry of Magic after graduation, and that he would become the most powerful person in the Ministry of Magic.

The Weasley twins nodded in agreement, not caring at all about Percy's face turning dark.

The enthusiasm of the Weasley twins is also different from that of their parents and brother. They have long planned to open their own shop in Diagon Alley after graduation.

Gretel, a successful person, is here, and of course they have to learn from this young genius.

Thanks to Uncle Chen, a book friend who was born in 1991, for his monthly support. Thank you for your support.

There are about three chapters left until fourth grade. The prisoner part of the plot will be quickly skipped after school starts, and we will go directly to the Goblet of Fire in fourth grade.

Voldemort's return is not only a sign that the wizarding world is facing another crisis, but also a sign of the emergence of the Gretel organization.

PS: If I can't stop it, I'll do the opposite. Please, I'll skip it this way. Get the plan.
