Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard
Chapter 553 Five Thousand Galleons
Kyle originally thought Lupine would be waiting for them at the Three Broomsticks, but he was obviously wrong.
When passing by the door of the Three Broomsticks, Sirius walked over without stopping at all.
The three of them walked forward, passing by Literary Residence and Fengya Wizard Clothing Store, and then walked a little further along a path and came to a familiar place.
Screaming Shack.
Lupine was now standing next to the upturned fence around the shed, lifting them up one by one.
"Professor Lupin!" Harry waved enthusiastically and ran over, "You don't have to do this. They were upside down when I first came to Hogsmeade. No one would care about this."
"Hello, Harry, it's nice to see you again." Lupine raised his head and said: "But you don't need to call me Professor anymore, just call me Lupin, or like Sirius, call me Remus or Moony face.”
"Okay, Professor Lupin," Harry blurted out.
Lupine's expression froze. Obviously, it would be difficult for Harry to change this title in a short period of time... Forget it, let's leave it at that.
He sighed and did not continue to dwell on the problem. Instead, he continued to bend down and tidy up the fence at hand.
Harry wanted to say that no one in Hogsmeade cared about the Shrieking Shack, or even came here at all.
But before he could say anything, he was interrupted.
Sirius smiled and shook his head, "Let him be busy. These things will have to be done in the future anyway."
"What do you mean?" Harry still didn't understand why Professor Lupine had to bother to tidy up a place where no one came.
"Because I bought the Shrieking Shack." Sirius said casually, as if he was buying a glass of butterbeer.
"What did you say?" Harry couldn't help but raise his voice.
"I thought about it when I was in school, but I didn't have that much gold at the time." Sirius said, "After I graduated, I was delayed due to various things, and I didn't have this opportunity until half a year ago."
"How much does it cost?" Harry muttered quietly.
"To be honest, it's much cheaper than I thought." Sirius said,
"When I was in school, this place had been abandoned for many years. The old wizard family who owned it had moved to Finland a long time ago."
"During the Christmas vacation, Lupine and I made a special trip there, and when we found him, he even forgot that he still had an estate in Hogsmeade.
“So when he learned that I wanted to buy the Screaming Shack, he agreed without any hesitation and gave me a pretty good discount.
Such a large area only cost five thousand galleons. How about it? It's a good deal. "
Sirius looked at Harry with a smile, seeming smug because he had a lot of money left.
Harry pursed his lips, unable to say any compliments anyway.
Although he was considered a wealthy man and had piles of gold galleons in his vault, five thousand galleons... this number was still a bit difficult for him to accept.
Mr. Weasley's salary was only eighty Galleons, and the Triwizard Championship bonus was one thousand Galleons, which meant that Sirius had spent five championships with a wave of his hand.
However, just when he was about to say something, Kyle next to him nodded seriously.
"Five thousand Galleons, you really got a big deal."
"That's right." Sirius said cheerfully: "Finally, I didn't run so far in vain."
"Kyle, why do you think it's cheap?" Harry asked speechlessly.
"That's for sure," Kyle said.
Hogsmeade can be said to be the only village full of wizards. Land is very expensive, let alone a place as big as the Shrieking Shack.
After all, apart from the dilapidated house, the place within the fence also fell into the category of Screaming Shack, otherwise Lupine wouldn't bother to tidy it up.
Kyle thought for a while and said to Harry in a simpler way: "This place is almost ten times the size of a normal store. When converted, it is equivalent to buying the Honeydukes Candy House for five hundred galleons. You still have to pay for it." Do you think it’s expensive?”
Harry shook his head subconsciously.
Although he felt that it couldn't be calculated like this, after all, the locations of the two places were different, but if he thought about it carefully, Hogsmeade was so big, so there seemed to be no problem with what Kyle said.
"What do you plan to do when you buy this place?" Harry looked at Sirius and asked curiously: "Do you want to live there, or open a shop?"
"Well, I don't know."
"you do not know?"
"Yeah." Sirius said, "I just wanted to buy this place, but Moony Face felt it was a bit of a waste."
"That's not what I think, Padfoot." Lupine came over angrily, "That's five thousand galleons, enough for a normal wizard family to live for ten years. You can't treat it as a decoration."
"How about I leave it to you to take care of it?" Sirius said with a smile, "No matter what you do, I won't care."
"We have talked about this topic many times." Lupine frowned, "I know what you think, but you don't need to be like this, Padfoot, it's not that I can't find a job at all.
"I'm currently reading books about fire dragons, and next year I can try my luck at the fire dragon sanctuary in Romania."
"Of course, I completely respect your opinion, Moony Face." Sirius said with wandering eyes: "I bought this place just to fulfill my wish when I was a student.
Come on Harry, let's go in and take a look, and help clean up the broken furniture inside. I will buy new ones after a while.
Oh, by the way, you can pick a room on the second floor and stay here during the holidays. "
"Really? Can I?" Harry asked with eyes shining.
He never dared to think that he would live in Hogsmeade one day.
"Of course," Sirius said.
Behind the two of them, Lupine couldn't help but rub his forehead.
He understood Sirius and why he wanted to buy this place, but spending five thousand galleons for a temporary place to live was still a bit wasteful.
Number 12 Grimmauld Place is already very good. The most important thing is that it is protected by the Loyalty Charm and is safe enough.
At this time, Kyle suddenly asked: "Have you really decided to go to Romania?"
"That's right," Lupine said, "I've thought about it, and it suits me very well."
"Then have you ever thought about a question." Kyle continued, "Now that Sirius is trying to play the role of a godfather, can you rest assured that Harry will leave it to him?"
Lupine, who was walking, suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face began to change rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yes, how could he forget this?
Sirius definitely wanted to take Harry into his side, there was no doubt about it.
Originally, Lupine didn't think anything was wrong, and even thought it was natural. Harry's aunt and uncle didn't like him, so it would be better to follow Sirius. Harry himself must have thought so too.
But now when Kyle reminded him, he suddenly thought of a very important question.
The past twelve years had not been entirely without its impact on Sirius, who was now even more impulsive and irritable than before.
And there is also a sense of revenge consumption, where people spend money lavishly, as if they want to make up for all the gaps in the past twelve years.
Lu Ping fully understood this. After being trapped for twelve years, it was understandable for him to be wild now. So under normal circumstances, he rarely stopped Sirius from buying things that in his opinion were completely useless.
Like this screaming shack.
But now he suddenly thought about whether Harry would be affected if he lived with him for a long time.
Sirius was fine, his situation was only temporary, and he would slowly return to normal after the excitement passed.
But Harry is still young, and if he develops this habit, it will be difficult to change.
This inevitably made Lu Ping a little confused.
He felt that he should stay, whether it was to accompany Sirius or to help teach Harry, he should stay here.
However, the little money he had saved as a professor was running out. He could still sustain himself for a while in the short term, but in the future, he couldn't all use Sirius' money.
Lupine didn't want this.
