HP: I'm not going to rule the wizarding world

This race has lost its blood and relies on the kindness and charity of others, which is not much different from living under the will of the magic family now.

Some might even be worse off. After all, in a magic family, people never have to worry about food and clothing, and after liberation, they have to take care of themselves.

The employment pressure in the wizarding world is so great, and the elves are only good at magic or housework. In addition, they have offended powerful magic families, so it is a problem whether they can fill their stomachs.

Once they join the job force, not only will the magic families not be able to accommodate them, but ordinary wizards will probably not tolerate them for long either.

The magical world has limited resources. As long as this fundamental problem is not resolved, they can still use the slogan "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts" to exclude them and maintain their dominant position.

This is how wizards treat the united goblins, let alone the house-elves who have become completely servile. The saying that the crying child gets the milk is not just a casual saying.

Chapter 255 It’s a pity that they not only have parents

They are both living creatures, but goblins can control the financial lifeline of wizards, while house-elves can only do hard labor in wizard families. Isn't it true that they will resist?

Draco was a little bored, then something struck him, and he immediately asked, "If, as you said, the average white-collar salary is around 300-400 pounds, wouldn't it be a heavy burden to hire so many employees for such a large villa? And you don't even live here."

Ariana smiled when she heard this and reminded him, "My dear boyfriend, you haven't realized one thing yet, that is, I bought this villa for investment. No matter how high the maintenance cost is, it can't compare to a fraction of the appreciation of this big villa."

The value of the property can increase by millions in a year, and Ariana also holds a lot of shares in the human resources company that maintains these properties. By transferring money from one hand to the other, she can save a lot of money on maintenance costs.

Moreover, these maintenance personnel do not fall into the category of white-collar workers.

Draco suddenly understood and nodded, saying, "Yes, you bought this villa to preserve its value. You will definitely sell it when you immigrate to the United States, or you will sell it before then."

When the money reaches a certain amount, it will enter a bottleneck period. If you want to make profits dozens of times as before, you need a lot of high-quality projects, but it is impossible to have so many projects.

Ultimately, it is because the situation in the UK is no longer big enough for Ariana, which is also the main reason why she wants to immigrate.

Seeing that Draco had touched upon the importance of real estate circulation, Ariana's eyes were full of smiles.

He had previously rekindled the idea of ​​buying a large villa in London, and now that he knew it could appreciate in value so much, the desire to buy it might be even stronger.

As Ariana expected, Draco continued, "With the way I save money, no matter how hard I try, no matter how good the opportunity you mentioned is, I won't be able to afford a property of this level. So I decided to borrow money from my dad."

Even if it was not related to the family business, Draco inherited the merchant gene of the Malfoy family. The essence of making money from money still requires sufficient initial capital.

Knowing that Draco hadn't finished speaking, Ariana cooperated and asked, "So what do you plan to do with the borrowed money to make money?"

Draco made a bitter face and shook his head. "I haven't thought of anything yet. I've tried countless times, but my dad is just deaf and dumb and doesn't want to mention buying a property in London. It's basically impossible for our family to buy one, so if I want to buy one, I can only find a way myself."

Ariana asked again: "Do you have any direction?"

Draco did have some ideas. He knew Ariana would give him advice, so he said, "Didn't you say there was an opportunity before? I want to use the borrowed money to make a big bet on this opportunity. I hope to buy this property. If it's not enough, then I can only hope that you don't sell this villa before I make enough money."

Ariana smiled when she heard that and assured her, "We are best friends. This property is really too expensive. I feel a little embarrassed that I can't give it to you. As long as you still want to buy it, I will definitely not sell it to you."

This was all she could do for Draco.

Draco didn't make things difficult for Ariana and said firmly, "I won't make you wait too long. If I still can't afford it by the time we graduate, then you can buy it. We're going to the United States anyway, and maybe American real estate will be more attractive to me."

He really wanted to buy this property. Besides liking it, he also wanted to figure out his feelings. But as he said before, no one was more important than Ariana.

By that time, both of them will immigrate to the United States. It doesn’t matter if I don’t understand that feeling, it’s more important to be with Ariana.

Ariana laughed when she heard that. It can only be said that she was particularly easy to be amused when she was with Draco.

"Okay, so the United States is too far away, so you want to buy this property first." He is a typical presentist.

Draco nodded as a matter of course and admitted, "Yes."

Ariana raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a sly smile, and asked with a sigh, "As your best girlfriend, can I give you some advice? About making money?"

Draco's eyes lit up. His good friend always gave very good advice at times like this.

So he immediately nodded and replied, "Of course, your best boyfriend really needs your advice, my girlfriend."

Since it is not time to immigrate to the United States yet, I should figure out whether the reason why I always feel unsatisfied is because of this villa. The solution is to buy it and take a look.

Ariana had already figured out what Draco should do, so she immediately said, "Please take your time with the borrowing. I think it would be best if you could learn how to make money quickly first, and then convince your parents to do so. That way, it would be easier to borrow money. What do you think?"

Even if he went to look for investment, he would bring a project report. If Draco wanted to make more than 10 million pounds, he would definitely have to borrow a lot of capital from his parents. Without an absolute reason, it would be unlikely.

Not only could Draco's current reasons not convince Lucius, he didn't even have the ability to convince anyone.

A small goal needs to be broken down into countless small goals, and only by completing them one by one can you reach the other side of success.

The first thing he needs to do is to increase his strength.

Draco thought for a moment, then nodded and asked, "You let me learn computers, which is the first step to learning how to make money, right?"

My original intention of learning computer was to understand how to operate funds, but at that time it was for the profit of 10,000 pounds.

Ariana nodded and conceded, "Yes, now that you can use a computer, the next step is to learn how to collect information and use that information to try your hand at stock trading. Once you have a certain level of market acumen, you can set up an investment company like me."

Since Draco wants to learn, let him try. The main reason is that Ariana has a lot of things to do and it is impossible for her to teach him step by step. At most, she can lend a hand when he needs help.

Draco fully accepted his good friend's arrangement for him to study business, but he made a slight addition to the time.

"I guess we can't use electrical appliances at my house. I'd better go home with you after Christmas. It will be more convenient at your house," he said.

The two of them planned to go to Malfoy Manor on the 24th, but they had not yet decided on the date of their departure, mainly because they were not sure whether the Yule Ball would be held.

Draco had written to ask about it several times in the past few days, but his father always made excuses. He didn't know why it was dragging on this year when it was just a Christmas ball.

Ariana certainly didn't mind. In fact, she was even more pleased to see it happen. She smiled and nodded, saying, "I wanted to take you home when we were at the train station, but your parents haven't seen you for half a year and they've been looking at you longingly. I can't take their son away from them."

If Draco was an orphan like her, he would have made his own arrangements, but unfortunately, he not only had parents, but also a prominent family.

Thinking of his parents now disliking his manners, Draco curled his lips and said unhappily, "I've been with them for so many years, I don't mind missing a few weeks."

Chapter 256 Will He Really Come to Live?

This didn't make sense. After all, Draco was only 11 years old. The only reason he could play at his friend's house for so long was because the Malfoys didn't dare to go against his wishes.

Just as Draco finished speaking, two people suddenly appeared behind them. Fortunately, there were not many staff members nearby, otherwise the law enforcement officers from the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes would appear again.

After hearing Draco's words, one of them questioned him sarcastically, "Xiaolong, I didn't expect that the love of your mother and I means so little to you. What you said is really heartbreaking."

From the tone of voice that echoed in the aria, one could tell it was Lucius without even turning around.

Ariana and Draco looked back and found that not only Lucius was there, but also Snape. The two of them suddenly appeared here, obviously by apparition.

Hearing his father's question, Draco looked at Lucius in a panic, trying to change the subject: "Dad, why are you here? No, how do you know about Ariana's property?"

Even if he wanted to change his position, he still had to know the final location. Last time, his parents only sent him to Villa Lunsa and didn't know the address. Then he saw his owl circling not far away, and he immediately understood that his father had found someone to lead the way.

Unlike Draco who looked at Lucius guiltily, Ariana met his gaze firmly.

But she was looking at Snape. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why is the professor here?"

Snape replied expressionlessly, "Your busy professor finally had a short vacation, where he could study potions or spells to his heart's content, but one of his students abducted another of his students, and then the parents of the other student came to him and asked for their son."

The day Draco came, Ariana pissed Lucius off and the two sides didn't discuss their plans for the next few days.

Today Lucius wanted to find Ariana for something, but when he went to the Lensa Villa, not only Ariana was missing, but Draco was also nowhere to be seen.

In a hurry, Lucius went to find Snape and dragged him out regardless of the fact that Snape was in the critical period of refining medicine.

Of course, the price was to tell the other party about his intention to find Ariana.

Lucius was so worried that he was confused. When he saw that his son was missing, he didn't even think of using an owl to help find him.

Snape was different. He knew that Ariana would not do anything bad to Draco, so he quickly asked Lucius to call Draco's owl.

Unexpectedly, the old father, who was so worried about his son that he lost his composure, finally found his son, only to hear such heartbreaking words.

Draco didn't dare look at Lucius at all. Ariana could only say to the two of them, "The owl can obviously find Draco. Mr. Malfoy doesn't need to find the professor. Maybe he just wants to see his good friend."

She was trying to shift the blame.

Lucius was about to teach Draco a lesson for not daring to look at him, but when he saw Draco sitting on the bicycle, his attention was immediately diverted.

He questioned with a dark face: "Draco, you actually learned the stupid Muggle means of transportation?"

Does his son still remember that he is the heir to a pure-blood family? If others knew what he was like, what would they think of the Malfoy family?

Seeing that he wasn't questioning what happened just now, Draco was no longer so scared. He said confidently, "I think all means of transportation are the same, they just operate differently and are suitable for different scenarios. Ariana and I want to visit her big villa, and there are a lot of Muggle staff here. We can't ride brooms, right?"

Even he knows that he has to follow other people's rules, so why doesn't his father know it? Now Draco has his own insights and a greater sense of superiority than his father.

Looking at Ariana who was also riding a bicycle, he knew without asking that it must be this powerful little wizard who instigated his son.

But the other party was able to beat Snape, and Lucius didn't think he could beat him, and Malfoy was never known for his strength.

Not daring to question the eagerly-watched Ariana, Lucius could only ask Draco, "Aren't you guys staying well in London? Why are you here?"

If he hadn't found the person and hadn't asked Snape for help, many problems could have been solved with Ariana alone.

Ariana still felt a little sorry for Draco's hard work, so before he could speak, she said, "This is the 260 million gold Galleon villa that Draco has always wanted to buy. He said Mr. Malfoy was evasive and unwilling to buy it for him, so he plans to earn money and buy it himself. Perhaps Mr. Malfoy will enjoy his son's filial piety before he retires, and then they can live here together."

Draco is different from her. Since he can happily inherit the family business, why should he work hard to make money? Of course, it would be best if he could inherit the family business and start his own business at the same time.

Lucius snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Malfoy has his own magical manor, there is no need to buy this Muggle villa."

Draco might be afraid and dodge, but he wouldn't hide forever, seeing his father speak so badly to Ariana.

He stood in front of them and said anxiously, "Dad, a Muggle villa has its advantages, and a magic manor has its advantages. What's wrong with buying another property? Besides, it can appreciate in value. Even if you don't want to live there anymore, you can sell it and make a lot of money. Why don't you want to live there?"

If he and Ariana weren't best friends, this villa wouldn't have been his, and there was also the promise of money waiting for him to make.

Seeing his son bringing up the topic of value-added again, Lucius felt that his son was thinking too simply.

He frowned and said, "We can discuss this matter after we get home. I think you need to take a few more classes on family responsibilities during this holiday. As the heir of the Malfoy family, don't you need to report to the head of the family when you go to an unfamiliar place?"

He took the initiative to end the topic, because it was more important to correct his son's attitude. His son had stood on Ariana's side before, and now he didn't even want to stay at home.

Given how clingy these two kids are, will he really come to live in this house if we buy it?

As for the appreciation, that is the appreciation of Muggle money, although it can be exchanged for gold at Gringotts.

Not to mention that the Malfoys cannot do this kind of business, for the sake of currency stability in Gringotts, the goblins would never exchange so many gold Galleons for others, even if it was gold.

Draco retorted unconvincedly, "We're in London anyway, so it's not like we're going to a strange place. I didn't think we needed to report it."

It's just from the city center to the southern suburbs, and they're all Ariana's houses. And with her there, how could there be any problem?

Snape didn't want to see the dispute at Malfoy's house. He looked at Ariana and asked, "Colin, we Apparated here. Can we walk around freely in this manor?"

Chapter 257 Snape is a man of knowledge

He wanted to get the Malfoys and their son away so he could talk to Ariana alone about something.

Ariana nodded and stated, "This manor is very large. Although there are many staff members inside, they only know that I will be staying here for the next few days and don't know how many people I brought with me. As long as you don't use magic in front of them, there will basically be no problem."

Although if something happens, the Ministry of Magic may send people to erase the memory on a targeted basis.

But as a boss, Ariana doesn't want her employees to be cast spells at will. Who knows the magic level of those law enforcement officers?

Snape nodded and said to Draco, "Draco, take your father to see the property you want to buy. Colin and I have something to discuss alone."

Draco didn't want to leave Ariana's side at all. Hearing this, he asked dissatisfiedly, "As Ariana's boyfriend, can't I sit in on the class?"

Snape hadn't asked him to stay away on many occasions before. Could he be trying to separate them?

Snape looked at him coldly and said forcefully, "Not even if you become her husband."

After saying this, he raised his chin, obviously letting the kid know who he was talking to.

Lucius, who had probably discussed this with Snape beforehand, said to Draco, "Little Dragon, show me around. I really don't understand why you're so drawn to a Muggle manor when you already have a magical one."

Draco likes this big villa. In addition to the fact that the villa itself is very luxurious, there is another very important reason, which is its geographical location. Of course, the more important reason is that it is very close to Ariana's home.

Unfortunately, these advantages are all disadvantages in Lucius's eyes. As wizards, they must maintain the Statute of Secrecy, and living in London, which is full of Muggles, the risk of being exposed is even greater.

After the father and son left, without waiting for Snape to explain his purpose, Ariana guessed, "The professor must be here for Dumbledore, right? If he's just here to find Mr. Malfoy's son, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask the professor for help."

Snape knew about her relationship with Draco, and even though Malfoy didn't think of using an owl to find someone, Snape definitely didn't think of it.

Snape didn't want to pay attention to Ariana's teasing, nor did he want to stay in this overly luxurious villa. He felt that he was out of place here, so he stated his purpose directly.

"After Dumbledore read your letter rejecting the invitation, he knew he couldn't persuade you, so he went to persuade Lucius to give up the Christmas ball. What you said was included in the report I gave him before." He said lightly.

As for what he said, Snape didn't say it, but Ariana knew that it was what she had said to Farley.

Because of Draco, if the Malfoy family does not hold a Christmas ball, she will not attend another family's Christmas ball first.

Snape had no idea of ​​Dumbledore's actions until Lucius came to him, and then he became even more certain of the old bee's intentions.

Suppress Ariana's growth rate and also suppress the rise of Slytherin.

Ariana chuckled contemptuously and said sarcastically, "He really went to great lengths to prevent me from obtaining the resources of the wizarding family. So, Mr. Malfoy asked the professor to tell me about this?"
