Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

On the first floor of the Ministry of Magic, the Minister's Office.

Kyle knocked on the door and Bones's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

Compared with when Fudge was here, the minister's office at this time has become much simpler. The gorgeous and exquisitely crafted rosewood desk is gone, replaced by a very ordinary table.

𝟲𝟵𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗻𝗲𝘁]

The material and shape are the same as those used in other offices, the only difference is that they are much larger.

There is nothing we can do about it. If the table is small, it may not be able to accommodate the mountains of documents and information.

After hearing the footsteps, Bones subconsciously raised his head.

"Kyle? I didn't expect you to be here." She said, "What, are you ready to go back to work?"

"It may take a while." Kyle said, "That's why I came here this time."

As he spoke, he put a button, a galleon and a siko on the table.

"What's this?"

"A communication item suitable for Auror use," Kyle said.

"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. Scrimgeour came to see me last week because of this." Bones rubbed his temples. "There have been too many things recently, but your communication parchment has been used. , the feedback from the department was very good.”

"That's good."

"Then why are there three?" Bones looked at the things on the table. "Buttons and galleons seem to be much more convenient than parchment. Do you want me to pick one?"

"No, these are all three." Kyle pointed to Galleons and Sickles and said: "These are the same as parchments. As long as you read the correct password, you can use Sickles and the person holding the Galleons. call.

"Sikes are for out-going Aurors. There are many of them. There are only two galleons. They are for the minister and Scrimgeour... But if there is still a need, I can make them again. It's just the anti-peeping demon inside. The writing is quite complicated and takes about three to five days.”

"What kind of anti-peeping magic are there?" Bones asked seriously.

"Many." Kyle thought for a while, "Password magic, tracking magic, contract magic, name magic, voice magic... In short, once the user is determined, it cannot be changed, and others cannot use it."

"The confidentiality effect is good." Bones nodded, "What about their role?"

"Each Sico has a number. Gallon can talk to all Sicos, but Sico can only contact Gallon and cannot get in touch with other Sicos."

"Oh, it's really good." Bones said. She picked up the galleons on the table and weighed them, then asked curiously: "Are these real? Probably not."

"Of course not." Kyle shook his head, "The real Garonxiko has specific fairy magic, and I can't imitate it. It's transformation.

I think this kind of thing is the most common. Even if most people see it, they would not think that it is used for communication. "

"Yes, what about this one?" Bones looked at the buttons on the side again.

"This... can be regarded as a magic signal." Kyle thought about how to explain, "The button can be transformed into a brooch or an Auror badge, and then sewn on the collar.

"Under normal circumstances, when an Auror uses a communication coin, in order to hear clearly, it should not be more than three feet away from the chest. Within this range, the magic signal can keep the call open."

"What if it exceeds?"

"Then you'll hear noise."

"Is there such a restriction?" Bones frowned, and his inner satisfaction suddenly dropped.

Although the distance of three feet does not affect normal use, it still makes her feel a little troublesome after all.

"No, it's not a restriction, it's insurance." Kyle shook his finger.

"We can change our thinking. If we hear noise, it means that the communication coin has been taken away."

Bones raised his head suddenly and instantly understood what Kyle meant.

"You mean, this button can confirm whether one of your own is holding...well, the summons coin."

"Yes, although it is not absolute, it should be fine in most cases." Kyle said with a smile, "But there is another premise, that is, this button must be kept secret from the Aurors. As long as they don't know, then the death-eating The traitor will also not know that we have such an insurance."

"It's a perfect plan..." Bones tapped his fingers on the table and decided without much thought: "It just so happened that the Aurors didn't have anything to identify themselves. I didn't think it was necessary at first, but now I can use it... …Just badges, issued by the Ministry of Magic.”

"Actually, I think a work badge will do. You must wear it to enter and leave the Ministry of Magic."

"But we have already set up name magic and developing mirrors at the entrance. Wouldn't it be unnecessary to get another work sign?"

"Confuse the public." Kyle explained: "Everyone wears one. Only Aurors are special. This will not arouse suspicion. Anyway, it is not difficult to make this thing. It can be done in an hour or two."

“Very thoughtful.”

"The only question is whether the Ministry of Magic agrees."

"Don't worry about this. I can issue an announcement right away and it will be implemented before leaving get off work today." Bones raised his head and looked at Kyle with admiration, "Are you really not considering coming back to work? I I can give you a salary increase."

"I'm timid." Kyle said with a smile, rejecting her request.

"Okay, that's understandable." Bones didn't say anything else. She glanced at the small objects on the table and suddenly smiled: "I heard Susan mention it before. What she talks about the most at home is you. That little gang's business at Hogwarts."

"It's a partner." Kyle corrected: "A gang sounds a bit unpleasant. We are doing legitimate business."

"Okay, I made a mistake." Bones waved his hand, "I remember that there seemed to be maps that could automatically find paths, exam amulets, and Quidditch support props and the like."

"Well, there are some other gadgets," Kyle said. "When I was little, I just made some pocket money."

"Then you guys make a lot of money." Bones raised his eyebrows, "Susan gave you most of her pocket money."

"No more, no more." Kyle shook his head quickly, "The cost is high, so we just earn some hard money, and at most we can buy a candy."

"Really?" Bones teased, "Is there anyone else doing business like this?"

"It doesn't matter whether you make friends or make money." Kyle said.

"In that case." Bones' eyes narrowed and he assumed a businesslike attitude, "Well, now let's discuss the remuneration. Are you willing to make friends with the Ministry of Magic?"

"ah?"

Kyle was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He was a little strange just now. He didn't understand why Bones suddenly mentioned things at school and didn't expect to wait here.

Amelia Bones, she wasn't like this before.

It was great when she was the director of the Department of Legal Enforcement. Everyone knew that she was fair and honest, but now she has become... bad.

In order to save some money, he used this method to cheat a student... Well, well, he has already graduated and is not considered a student.

But she doesn't have to pay for it herself, it's the ministry's account.

Sure enough, the position of Minister of Magic can easily change a person's personality.

"Honestly, I'm very satisfied with what you brought." Looking at Kyle's changing expression, Bones smiled, "Which method are you going to use to transfer it to the Ministry of Magic?

"Listen clearly, I'm talking about transfer, which means you can't sell this product to others in any form, even if it's similar."

"That's another price," Kyle said.

"Aren't I discussing this with you?" Bones stood up. "I have temporarily thought of two ways. The first one is to directly pay for it."

"How much can the Ministry of Magic pay?" Kyle asked.

"Five hundred galleons."

"A little less." Kyle frowned.

If you just want to buy these few things, let alone five hundred, fifty galleons is fine. It’s a friendly price.

But if it is a transfer, it will be less.

In order to develop this thing, he spent more than half a month and tried nearly a thousand different magic formulas.

This is a magic phone.

Kyle can be sure that in an environment like the magical world where communication basically relies on owls, just a conversation function can definitely make him a lot of money.

Not to mention the included security features.

Take "Gallon" as an example. There are seventeen different combinations of magic formulas, and six advanced magic symbols are superimposed on each other.

Unless Nicolas Flamel or Dumbledore comes over, do you want to eavesdrop? Basically impossible!

Therefore, five hundred galleons is not a little too little, but too much less. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a clear grab.

He said this just to give Bones a face.

"I know." Bones glanced at Kyle, "But you also know that the Ministry of Magic can't afford too many Galleons right now."

"I can accept the IOU." Kyle said calmly. "As long as it doesn't exceed ten years."

"How is the interest calculated?" Bones asked.

"You're just talking about it." Kyle waved his hand, "Susan and I are friends, and she is still my old customer."

"So there is no need for interest?"

"The interest will be according to Gringotts' standards."

Bones' expression froze, and he subconsciously said, "What are you talking about Susan?"

"Stress that we are friends." Kyle said matter-of-factly: "When doing business, you have to find some topics that can build relationships, so that you can spend the money more comfortably."

"So this is what you told me?" Bones pointed at himself.

"Yeah, I can't be at a disadvantage."

Looking at Kyle's natural look, Bones felt a bit toothache, and suddenly she didn't appreciate the young wizard in front of her so much.

"Just tell me how much money you need."

"In this way, I will suffer a little loss." Kyle gritted his teeth, took a piece of parchment, and wrote a series of numbers on it, "This number will do."

Bones glanced down.

Originally, when she heard Kyle say, "Suffer some loss," she had some thoughts.

As a result, the next second, when she saw the string of '0's on the parchment, she couldn't hold her breath.

"Ten thousand Galleons, are you crazy? This is impossible!" she almost roared. "It's just a few gadgets, how can it be worth so much money?"

"No, it's not ten thousand, it's one hundred thousand." Kyle corrected: "Minister, you may not know much about alchemy... Of course, this is normal. After all, Hogwarts does not teach this, but the current market situation That's it.

"And if you think about it carefully, this is something that can compete with the Owl Post Office. Do you think one hundred thousand galleons can buy the Owl Post Office?"

"This is different."

"It's all about transmitting information. What's different? Even this form of call is more convenient and efficient."

Bones fell silent.

Kyle smiled slightly.

In fact, he confused a concept. Even if this kind of communication coin really became popular, it would not be able to replace the owl post office. At least when Hogwarts sends out admission notices every year, it will definitely choose to use owls.

And due to Kyle's current alchemy skills, this kind of thing has a distance limit. It can only be used in the UK at most, and it's just scrap metal if it's further away.

It's just that he didn't say this, and Bones didn't know either.

Again, Bones may be excellent in other aspects, but alchemy...she is really bad.

This is also a drawback of Hogwarts education. For such an important subject as alchemy, there is not even an elective. In Beauxbatons, the alchemy class is almost as important as the main course.

Bones lowered his head and thought for a moment.

"I must remind you, this is to deal with You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters."

As if he felt that reasoning was unreasonable, Bones chose another way...climbing up the moral mountain.

"I know, that's why I said I can issue an IOU." Kyle had already expected this, and said calmly: "You can use it first, and then pay it back slowly when the matter is over. I still believe it. of Ms. Bones’ character.”

Bones' eyes twitched, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

"Perhaps we can choose another way." She said in a deep voice: "How about treating this as your grade? When you return to work at the Ministry of Magic, it will be your contribution, and it will even allow you to be promoted to deputy director in one step. The minister is fine.

"You also know that Dolores was tortured three times by the Death Eaters using the Cruciatus Curse. She was extremely mentally traumatized and has been unconscious in St. Mungo's. The Ministry of Magic happens to be short of a deputy minister."

"Wait a minute..." Kyle took the pie that Bones drew for him and asked, "The Cruciatus Curse...didn't I remember it twice?"

"There was another time that was not announced." Bones sighed, "It was the day Fudge died in the line of duty. Weren't many people sent to St. Mungo's for treatment?"

"Yes, I came that day too." Kyle said, "But is there any relationship between the two?"

"Listen to me." Bones continued: "One of the people was hit by the Death Eater Imperius Curse. While receiving treatment, he suddenly got angry and used the Cruciatus Curse on Dolores, who was in the same ward with him. ”

"What is he trying to do..." Kyle didn't understand. "In attacking St. Mungo's, the Death Eaters are so sure that they won't be hurt?"

In the British wizarding world, St. Mungo's has always been a neutral place. No matter how fierce the fight between the Death Eaters, the Order of the Phoenix, and the Ministry of Magic, they have deliberately bypassed that place.

And St. Mungo's never cares about the identity of the person who comes in. They will treat injured Aurors, and they will also treat Death Eaters.

This can be regarded as an agreed upon thing, after all, no one wants to leave a way out for themselves.

Even more than ten years ago, when Voldemort was at his most powerful, the Death Eaters only monitored St. Mungo's, not controlled it.

Kyle even suspected that Voldemort's resurrection recipe might have been obtained from St. Mungo's... Of course, it was just a suspicion, and he believed that Dean Sacia would not give that kind of thing to Voldemort.

"In the end, the Auror found out that it was just a misunderstanding." Bones said, "The Death Eater who used the Imperius Curse may have wanted to cause some trouble for us, and the order given to him was to attack the surrounding areas during the rescue. Man creates chaos, unaware that he has been sent to St. Mungo's.

"Including the Ministry of Magic, there were also two people who suddenly attacked, but they were quickly controlled. And the one at St. Mungo's... well... the therapist was very busy that day."

Bones' eyes were a little wandering.

"So Umbridge is just plain unlucky?"

"That's right." Bones nodded, "Remember to keep it secret and don't tell others. Now we need some voices that can boost morale."

"I understand." Kyle agreed.

"So, what's your decision?" Bones asked, "Do you want to be the deputy minister?"

"Now you can?"

"It will take some more time to observe," Bones said. "The deputy minister is of great importance and cannot be decided by me in just one or two sentences."

"Then I still want Galleons." Kyle decisively threw away the pie.

"But the Ministry of Magic doesn't have that much money, and even if it did, it wouldn't be possible to spend it all to buy a few communication items."

"You can issue an IOU."

Going around in circles, things are back to where they were at the beginning.
