The Alchemist of Harry Potter
Chapter 844
"Good morning, Sirius, where have you been?" Lupin stuck his head out of the kitchen, looked at Sirius who had just entered the tent, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you look so happy?"
"I just went to Ludo Bagman, and that guy only paid half of Galleon last night." Sirius didn't like Bagman, who was trying to default on his debts.
"When did you bet?" Lupin looked at Sirius in shock, never expecting his old friend to bet money secretly, which is not a good thing.
"I thought you would care more about how much I won." Sirius pulled a chair and sat down, putting his legs on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Well, how much did you win?" Lupin asked helplessly.
"Probably...a thousand Galleons," said Sirius.
"How much?" Lupin's eyes widened in disbelief.
"A thousand Galleons," Sirius repeated in shock.
"Don't gamble, just accept it when you see it!" Lupin tried his best to persuade Sirius, ignoring the black smoke that was slowly rising from the pot. He really couldn't understand why his old friend took the risk of gambling. What if he lost, how many Galleons he had to bet if he could win a thousand Galleons?
"Bagman didn't have enough Galleons to pay me, so he suggested that I keep betting." Sirius glanced at Lupin, whose face was slightly gloomy, and said casually: "I have agreed, anyway, those Galleons are all It doesn’t matter if I lose all of it, let alone I won’t necessarily lose.”
Lupin fell silent. He also knew that he was not qualified to preach to Sirius, and finally said: "Don't be too greedy, just accept it when you see it." Then he turned back to the kitchen to continue making breakfast.
"Lose, I will lose? No, I will not lose."
A strange smile appeared on Sirius' face, he didn't think he would lose, and the money was not entirely his, half of it belonged to Albert.
In fact, Sirius doesn't like gambling either, but yesterday he met with Albert, and the two reached a certain agreement in private.
Well, they did make a ton of money, and the hapless Bagman lost a ton of Galleons because of it.
However, Sirius has no sympathy for Bagman.
If it weren't for Ludo Bagman trying to lure him into betting, Sirius wouldn't necessarily say yes to Albert.
Well, this is a lame excuse. In the eyes of Sirius, why can't Kanon make a profit?
Not an idiot.
Moreover, listening to Albert's tone, Ludo Bagman is not reliable, otherwise Albert would not ask him to take back at least half of the Galleon after winning the bet.
"Good morning, Sirius." Harry yawned and appeared in the dining room, sniffing the burnt smell in the air, and said in surprise, "It's rare to see Professor Lupin burn the rice, by the way, you were there just now. What to talk about."
"Nothing Harry." Sirius didn't want Harry to get into the habit of gambling, so he changed the subject and said, "Lupin and I have already planned to start a Defense Against the Dark Arts magazine called "Defense Guide."
After initial discussions with Lupin, Sirius planned to accept Albert's proposal to open a magazine related to Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Considering that Lupin once served as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, he has a natural advantage in the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts. Sirius has spent most of his life fighting against dark wizards, which is a relatively good profession. .
Working in a field you are good at and like makes it easier for people to stay enthusiastic, invest more energy, and be more likely to succeed.
Of course, it is not easy to open a magazine store. Lupin and Sirius have no experience in this area. Who will be the editor-in-chief?
It is not surprising that if you open a store rashly and enter a field that you do not know about, you will probably fall into trouble, and even lose a lot of money because of it.
"A magazine like Witch's Weekly or Transfiguration Today?" Hermione asked Sirius curiously.
"Well, if it's just the two of us, it's about half a month.
Sirius nodded and said, "There will be some content related to Defense Against the Dark Arts. Remus should be better at this. He used to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and I can help him find a way." "
Harry and Hermione looked at each other.
To be honest, they are not very optimistic about Sirius starting a magazine, let alone becoming the editor-in-chief.
"What is Professor Lupin thinking?" Hermione asked Professor Lupin, who was busy in the kitchen.
"I think the probability of losing money is relatively high. Knowing Defence Against the Dark Arts and starting a Defence Against the Dark Arts magazine are two different things." Lupin was not as optimistic as Sirius, and neither of them had extensive management experience, and they were likely to screw things up.
"Speaking of opening a store, I still admire Albert. He started to pay for Fred and George to open a store very early." Ron sat next to Harry clutching his yawn, "From the beginning to the present I don't know how many Galleons have been put in and they think their store will be a big hit."
"Maybe, he has already divination." Harry said without hesitation, "Sirius, if you want to open a shop, you can go to Albert for divination."
"Harry, divination also has its limits," Hermione disagreed with Harry's point of view.
"Are you really going to open a weekly magazine?" Lupin asked as he brought the food from the kitchen and looked at Blake, who was thinking seriously.
"The won Kanon, even if he loses everything in the end, he won't feel bad."
This is actually one of the reasons why Sirius agreed to help Albert, and he needed to find an excuse to convince Remus to help start the Weekly Observation.
Otherwise, he will never agree, and a windfall is the best excuse, with the slogan "I don't feel bad if I lose everything".
"Losing money? I think you can ask Albert for help. As long as the price is right, he will definitely help." Ron suggested.
According to him, Fred and George had very clear ideas and plans for opening a store, and most of these were suggested by Albert. Moreover, Albert writes brilliantly for magazines, and clearly knows better than them how to summarize the content of a magazine, if Albert can certainly provide them with many constructive suggestions.
However, how to convince Albert to help is actually a more difficult matter. If you want Albert to contribute, you must naturally give the other party enough benefits, but Garon Albert obviously won't see it, so what should you use to convince him?
In the end, it was Ron's words that woke up Sirius. His own industry is naturally different from other people's industries. If Sirius can bring Albert into the occupation, the other party will naturally not watch the store pull across the store. A handful of them.
And Sirius' purpose is just to find a job for Lupin, as long as he doesn't lose money, Sirius can accept it.
