Hogwarts: Becoming the White Lord from Breathing

Chapter 79: The Beginning of Weasleys' Trickster

"Yes, you have seen some of the products we developed today. They are pretty good, aren't they?"

"How much money are you short of?"

As soon as Damon spoke, the Weasley twins' eyes lit up.

"We calculated that we'll need about 800 gold galleons. If that's not enough, 500—no, 300 will do! It's enough for us to invest in our first batch of business—"

"—We've saved money over the past decade, but it's only 30 Galleons, which is far from enough."

As if to express his sincerity and determination, George quickly added after Fred finished speaking.

Damon sat on one of the only two chairs between the two brothers, leaned back with his shoulders resting on the desk, and said lightly:

"What's the point of three hundred gold Galleons? It's just a small fight." He held up a finger. "I'll give you a thousand gold Galleons."

"real?!"

The two brothers looked at each other, put their hands in front of their mouths, and were so surprised that they could hardly believe what they heard - although they could tell from the gift Damon gave to Harry that this "prince" was definitely not short of money.

But it was still amazing that he could casually take out a thousand gold galleons!

"How can this be true or false? However, I have three requests."

"You say." The two men's attitudes became serious. They stood together and looked respectfully at Damon in the middle.

"First, your prank products must be used with moderation. They cannot cause physical harm to wizards, and they shouldn't be too scary. Ron was so frightened by your pranks when he was a child that he's now afraid of spiders. I don't want to see that happen to any young wizard again."

"Of course we will do that - in fact, if we want to make a sale, we will definitely promote less exciting works."

"Secondly, your business affairs must not affect your studies. I don't want Mrs. Weasley to be upset because of this matter. It would be even worse if she caused trouble for me.

This agreement will only last until your profits reach one thousand gold galleons—at that point I will no longer be involved."

The two brothers looked at each other - this request was a bit difficult, but they had no choice but to try their best!

"You know, we still have to participate in Quidditch training. We don't have much time to spend on studying. Even if this incident didn't happen, our academic performance might still decline."

"I don't care. If you can't do it, then wait a little longer. For me, I don't care about your profits."

"Okay—stop talking—"

"—You're the boss."

"Third: Do not use any prank products on me. I don't like being teased."

The two brothers nodded without hesitation.

"Very good, then—how are you going to divide the profits?"

Damon was ready to test the sincerity of the two.

The twins looked at each other, and George spoke:

"After deducting the costs, the profits will be divided into two parts. The two of us will take one part, and you will take one part alone."

"Yes, that's a very generous offer, but I'm just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of your labor. Eating so much won't help you with your work."

Damon held up three fingers:

"I'll just take 30%, and the rest will be yours. I'm not in a hurry to share the profits. You can reinvest the money you earn, and I'll just give you dividends every six months."

He completely trusted the character of the Weasley twins, and the so-called three requirements were just to make the two of them feel that things were not that easy.

"I'll give you the money after school starts. I haven't exchanged it yet."

"Okay, okay. We also need to make some preparations. What do you think about us renting a shop in Hogsmeade?"

"Sure, you guys can decide on these things. You don't need to consider my opinion."

"You should have a say in the name, right? We were originally planning to name it Weasley's Hocus Pocus. Do you want to add your name as well?" "No, this is your style. Just make it your own."

Seeing that the matter was discussed, Damon walked to the door. As the door opened, Harry and Ron, who were hiding at the door and eavesdropping, smiled at him awkwardly.

The Gemini followed and said with a smile, "Brother, are you eavesdropping?"

"Our voices are so low, you probably can't hear them clearly, right? In the future, we'll invent a 'retractable ear'. By inserting one end into your ear and the other through a door or other crack, you'll be able to clearly hear the conversation on the other side of the door, as if it were right next to you. Amazing, isn't it?"

Now that the money issue was settled and the thing they had been thinking about was about to be put on the agenda, the two brothers were in a relaxed mood and didn't care about Harry and Ron's eavesdropping.

"What did you talk about with Daemon? I think I heard some gold galleons?"

"Shh—don't let mom hear it. This is an adult matter, so stay out of your own way."

George covered Ron's mouth with his hand, and Fred looked around vigilantly - Harry and Ron were fine, but if his sister Ginny found out, things would be troublesome.

At this moment, the door slammed and the voice of a mature man was heard from outside.

"Kids, I'm back!"

Arthur Weasley slumped in a chair in the kitchen, his glasses off, his eyes closed.

He was the Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department, a thin man in green robes. He was a little bald, but the little hair he had left was the same red as his children's.

However, although Arthur was in charge of those prohibited items, he himself created a flying magic car at home, and he was also a wonderful person.

Weasley seemed very excited to see Damon and Harry, and kept asking them some questions about Muggles, but was soon interrupted by the unhappy Mrs. Weasley.

The whole dining process was extremely lively because of Damon's presence. Percy once again casually mentioned that he had obtained twelve OWLs certificates. His expression was reserved, but no one paid any attention to him.

Arthur was busy assuring his wife that his transformation was legal - but his wife pointed out that he had exploited a loophole in the magic.

The Weasley twins excitedly enjoyed the blueprint for the future and discussed the plans that would be implemented when the school started.

Ron whispered to Harry how "unreliable" his family was, and Harry couldn't help but laugh. Ginny, who was standing beside him, looked at him quietly without saying a word.

In such a lively environment, Damon ate quietly with a calm smile.

Although the Weasley family is very poor in material terms, they are rich in spirit.

People who are always in such an environment may find it noisy, but for Damon, it is like watching a theater performance.

As for Harry—his envy was written all over his face.

That night, they stayed over at the Weasleys', huddled with Ron.

There was a ghoul living in the Weasley family's attic, and they could often hear it coughing at night, which made Damon feel a little creepy.

The next morning when he was brushing his teeth, he heard a strange howling sound in his ears.

However, it's time to say goodbye to this voice.

Because he had taken Harry away early, there was still more than a month before school started, and it was impossible for the two of them to stay at the Weasley house for that long.

Whether the living conditions are comfortable or not is one thing, but the Weasleys' finances may not be able to support them eating and drinking here for more than a month - after school starts, they are even considering buying some second-hand school supplies for their beloved daughter Ginny.

After breakfast, when Damon suggested leaving, Mrs. Weasley tried to persuade him to stay, but it was clear that she was not determined.

"We'll meet in Diagon Alley."

After making an appointment with Ron, Damon took Harry to Diagon Alley - he planned to stay at the Hog's Head Inn and practice his Apparition skills before the new semester began.

As for Harry—he could go anywhere as long as he wasn't at the Dursleys'.

Perhaps it would have been better if they hadn't met Dumbledore in the tavern.
