The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 246 On the train

When the Hogwarts Express left the station the next day, Ryan was stopped by Percy before he even reached the compartment. He passed the highest level of N.E.W.Ts this time, and Ron told him that he was about to go to work in the Ministry of Magic's Reversal of Incidents Team.

Percy came to thank Ryan this time because Ryan helped him show his face to Ms. Bones. So this time he successfully passed the exam and entered the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

"Ms. Bones thinks that I am a serious and hardworking young man, very suitable for this position. To be honest, as an important line of defense for the safety of the wizarding world, the work of the accidental incident reversal team is very important. Although this job may require more field work, the compensation is also relatively high. In short, I am very happy to have got this job."

During the chat, Ryan learned that Percy also received an olive branch from the Department of International Magical Cooperation, but his father, Sir Arthur, told him that the judge who framed Sirius Black was the current Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, Mr. Barty Crouch. After Crouch made a public review in the Ministry of Magic because of this incident, Percy immediately decided to decline the position in the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

After finally getting rid of Percy, who seemed a little too excited about finding a good job, Ryan came to the last carriage, where he had agreed to meet his friends from the reading club.

As soon as I reached the door of the box, I heard a lot of noise inside. When I opened the door, I found that all the members of the reading club were discussing something inside.

"Hey, why are you here just now? If Hermione hadn't just seen you talking to Percy, we would have gone out to look for you." Fred complained a little after hearing the sound of the door opening and seeing that it was Ryan who came.

"Percy is a little over enthusiastic." Ryan shrugged.

"I know that. Percy has been saying thank you since he found a good job." Fred leaned over and whispered, then he stepped back and said loudly, "But we have to thank everyone, especially Ryan, for helping us get a satisfactory result in the OWLs this time. So from now on, everyone in the Weasley Correspondence Joke Shop can buy our products at a 20% discount."

The Weasley brothers were actually very smart, so after half a semester of intensive training, they passed the OWLs exams, and got E in many subjects, especially in the Transfiguration class, where they even got an O.

"We also found that studying these subjects seriously can provide great help for us in making joke products, so it is always a good idea to read more books." Fred began to tell everyone about their mental journey.

After greeting everyone, Ryan asked the twins, "Do you need any help after the correspondence store opens?"

"The store hasn't opened yet because I don't have enough space and materials to make products. We were planning to start selling this semester, but in the second half of the semester you found that the products were not good enough and needed to be improved, and we had to prepare for exams. As a result, we only have some samples. So we were planning to put ads on cars now and open in the summer vacation."

"I have an idea to create a site. This time I went to Brazil and got a shop on Diagon Alley. Its second floor has been vacant and you can use it. Moreover, I have made 110 Galleons by renting out the shop as a warehouse during this period. Anyway, I can't use it for the time being, so I can give it to you." Ryan said after hearing the twins describe their difficulties.

The twins looked at each other after hearing this, and then Fred said, "Well, is it true that you said before that you were willing to invest in our business?"

"Of course I am willing, because I am optimistic about your business. But I thought you didn't need me to invest."

"How could that be?" George said, "After all, you have helped us so much. We just think that what we have are half-finished products. We are really embarrassed to ask you to invest in it."

The Weasley brothers were not the kind of people who had many thoughts. It was obvious that they did not inform Ryan before not because they planned to work alone, but because they were worried that their immature technology would cause Ryan, the investor, to lose too much money. Now that everyone had cleared up the misunderstanding, the rest of the things would be natural. Finally, after discussion, they signed a contract. Ryan invested in the property and part of the funds and technology, and obtained 1/3 of the shares of the future Weasley Joke Shop.

Ryan smiled happily at the moment the agreement was signed, because he was the only one present who knew how profitable this joke shop would be in the future.

After signing the contract, the twins immediately took action. They took out a stack of parchment from the bag behind them and opened the door and walked out. It seemed that they had prepared the advertisement in advance and were waiting to do it in the summer vacation.

It was then that Ryan realized that everyone was excitedly discussing the Quidditch World Cup to be held in the UK during the summer vacation. However, this had nothing to do with a young wizard like Ryan, after all, they didn't even know where to buy tickets.

After discussing what we would do in the next year's reading club and how to keep in touch during the summer vacation, the rest of the time passed slowly in small talk. To be honest, the Hogwarts Express is good in every way, except that it does not provide lunch. At noon, everyone can only eat some snacks to fill their stomachs temporarily.

The biggest difference between snacks and meals is that you feel full when you eat snacks, but not hungry after eating. So Ryan felt extremely happy when the train approached King's Cross Station, because his parents must have prepared a big meal for him at home.

As a result, when they were almost in London, the twin brothers came back from outside with a few pieces of parchment in their hands.

"We had a lot of orders right from the opening. Several people asked us to order fake wands and spit candies. We also had quite a few people ask us to buy animal cookies that were still in the experimental stage." Fred said happily, waving the parchment.

"I remember the safety test of animal cookies has been completed." Ryan thought for a moment and asked.

"There's no problem with safety, but there's still some issues with the type of animal that can be changed. So we just use it as a trial gift. But we found that many people are interested in those failed products that temporarily turn people's heads into horse or cat heads." George explained on the side.

"So I think that thing can be put on the shelves. Anyway, people can use that prank to turn it into a whole animal or half an animal to achieve their goals," Ryan said.

After chatting for a while, Fred suddenly said, "Would you like to stay with us for a few days this summer and go to the Quidditch World Cup? My father always gets a lot of tickets for this kind of thing."

"Ha, of course I do. I haven't been to a wizard's home yet. Your parents are good people, so I think your home must be magical and warm. And I also want to see big events in the wizarding world like the Quidditch World Cup." Ryan smiled.

"It's a deal then. We'll owl you in advance to let you know the specific time. By the way, please ask Hermione about this for us later, because Ginny just asked us to ask Hermione if she wants to go." Fred said to Ryan when he found that Hermione was not in the private room for the time being, because they had to go to the front to say goodbye to a few friends.

After they left for a while, Hermione came back from the bathroom. She was also interested in these things and decided to go with Ryan.

At this time, a whistle sounded from the front of the train, and we arrived at King's Cross Station.
