Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 199 Longbottom's Pressured Grandma
There is also a cooking recipe to share - pig blood curry pineapple pudding pizza!

"How does one dish offend people from several countries?"

This dish was strongly dissed by many wizards, who demanded that it be blocked!
Claiming that Great Britain could not tolerate such an insult even if it ate mashed potatoes every day!

There is also an Italian wizard who is traveling here and claims that this is an insult to the Italian national dignity and will lodge a diplomatic inquiry with the British Ministry of Magic. He wants the person who invented the recipe to apologize to Pizza!

But Ted didn't care. This dish is very topical, isn't it? As long as the traffic is high!

Besides, this was provided by an Indian-British environmentalist wizard who is physically male and mentally female. He is invulnerable to all kinds of attacks!
And this is one of our own! In a few years, your prime ministers will all be from India.

British orthodoxy in India~
There are also people who share their travel experiences - there are Veela in a certain red area in Spain...

Ted blocked half of the message, including the address! As a result, there were nearly a hundred anonymous messages in just a few days.

Ted: Let them talk in private, don't send yourself to Azkaban!

I solemnly declare that I did not participate in the discussion within the group, and all consequences shall be borne by the publisher!
Some people were drinking beer and chatting happily:
"Samir, guess what I saw in America this time?"

"What did you see?"

"Aurors and Scourers from the United States Ministry of Magic are fighting! The fight started right on the streets among the Muggles, oh, they call them No-Maj!"

"Ah! You don't avoid people at all?"

"Right in front of the No-Majs! It's said that among the Squibs' descendants of the Scourers, there are people with special abilities! They can use certain magic without a wand, and the two sides are in a big fight!"

Such news from all over the world continued to gather and was recorded by Parker, the spiritual crystal servant embedded in the wall as a disguised decoration.

Nowadays, information exchange among Muggles is very advanced. After all, it is already 1992, and wins95 will be on the market in a few years.

But communication within the wizarding world is very closed and slow. News from abroad doesn’t arrive for a week, and even if it does, only a limited number of people know about it.

Ordinary wizards only read the Daily Prophet and subscribe to some entertainment magazines.

If the higher-ups don't tell us, most wizards will be kept in the dark.

In fact, many strange things happened in Great Britain.

However, the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle Queen have been actively handling the matter and suppressing the news.

It seemed like some strange beings of unknown identities broke into the local black market and fought against the dark wizards.

Unknown magical creatures appeared in a Muggle mine, causing the mine to stop production. The Muggles were unable to handle it and had to contact the Ministry of Magic for processing.

There were Muggles being mysteriously murdered, and locked-room murders with absolutely no clues.

Some antiques collected by Muggles suddenly produced magical effects, causing quite a bit of trouble.

Although the Ministry of Magic appears to be calm on the surface, it is actually extremely busy.

However, Minister of Magic Fudge got some contract magic from somewhere and issued a gag order to all Ministry of Magic employees. If they mentioned it inadvertently, they would have a sore tongue and it would be recorded by the headquarters.

This is why it has been concealed until now.

……

Last year's Xianyu.com enthusiasts were all idle street wizards who had nothing to do all day and would bring their own small stools to sit on all day, drinking tea and eating melon seeds, and cheering from time to time.

It's the kind of thing that helps you kill some boring time.

But now, Xianyuzhijia’s user base has expanded and the ingredients are much healthier.

Witches can account for a quarter to a third of the total customer base.

They often sat together and talked about the "witch page" that Ted had opened up specifically for them.

After all, didn’t someone say that women’s spending power is greater than that of children, the elderly, dogs, and…

Female customers naturally cannot be ignored.

What knitting techniques are you exchanging?
These are all books that Ted found from Muggles, and then he put them on a vest and posted them.

After all, there are so many Muggles, and it would only take a few minutes to create a large number of them.

Home magic encyclopedia~
Many of the magic tricks are small and practical, and Ted has never heard of them. It can be regarded as an eye-opener.

After all, the magic world is not very active. Many wizards invent some spells, which are only known and used by themselves and their families. It is unknown how many spells have been lost as a result.

How to prepare five days of ingredients and recipes on Monday~
Pre-made food! Ted copied the recipe from the Muggles. Well, the Muggle world is a treasure! We need to let the wizards know this slowly.

How to effectively remove magical pests at home~
"Lockhart Teaches You How to Get Rid of Household Pests", please promote it for the poor teacher.

He will have to live in St. Mungo's Hospital from now on, which is a big expense~
After all, his other books were removed from the shelves because of their English translations.

There are also issues regarding children's education.
Beat! If the child doesn't eat, just beat him up!

If the child doesn’t study, just beat him up!

If the child is disobedient, just beat him up!

If one beating doesn’t work, then beat him twice!
If the stinging curse doesn't work, use the Transfiguration Torture Curse. As long as you don't use the Cruciatus Curse, it's not against the law.
Ted could even see wizards coming to Xianyu House as a family - they came early in the morning, dressed neatly, first bought elf delicacies for breakfast, then paid attention to the appraisal guessing game (betting on equipment, everyone has played it, right?) and the second-hand goods for sale (auction house is recommended), and then browsed the forum and chatted with friends.

Then we had lunch at Xianyu House, went shopping after lunch, and finally gathered together to go home and spend a wonderful Saturday.

Many of Ted’s classmates came with their parents to support Ted at the beginning, but they became addicted after coming once.

Where can I find a place where I can eat, drink, chat, and gossip?

If we could find a wandering poet to sing a couple of songs, it would be complete!

Now, Xianyu Home has begun to move towards the direction of a comprehensive forum.

……

In the second week after the model was changed, the number of users reached more than 240 people, and the newly expanded store was no longer enough.

Ted felt that things were getting a little out of control.

This is the wizarding world of Great Britain, with a total population of just over 30,000, and they live scattered across the country.

Even though Diagon Alley where he was located was the most prosperous and only commercial street, this amount of customer traffic was too outrageous - only 1% of the national weekly customer traffic, so Zibo BBQ was no more than that, right? !

Let’s not talk about how much the income is - this profit model actually does not have very high profits, at least not compared to those monopoly transactions.

But this kind of influence is not something that Ted, a student at school, can grasp.

It’s like a certain website on the Internet. Although it has never made much money, it has huge traffic and user base. This is its greatest value, and there will always be people who care about it.

If this situation continues, there is no guarantee that someone will see the value in it, and then they will naturally use trickery to seize it. It will cause trouble!

Last year, when Xianyu.com was still a business, its competitor Borgin and Burke came to cause trouble secretly, but Ted found an opportunity to add fuel to the fire and the incident was stopped.

Now that the business has grown and its effects and value have emerged, it’s hard to say what kind of people it will attract.

In this case, Ted must prepare for it.

He doesn't care much about this kind of influence, because he wants to take the path of having great power himself.

If I really grow up to be in my twenties or thirties, I can defeat all the wizards in Great Britain with just one magic wand.
He simply wanted to do something and try to bring some changes to the magical world.

It would be better to attract more allies and share some of the benefits.

For example, the Longbottom family. Neville's stressed-out grandmother had invited me to her home before, so I might as well go and take a look.

Ted didn't expect that he would receive such a grand reception when he visited!
How grand?
The gate of Longbottom Manor opened, and Neville's grandmother and uncle, dressed in their best, greeted them at the door - his grandmother was not wearing the eagle helmet, no, it was a hat!
This situation made Ted feel helpless.

Didn't I tell you why I came?
Besides, it wouldn't have to be this serious, right?
I'm a little scared by what you guys are doing!
But the grandmother didn't put any pressure on Ted. Instead, she was very kind and didn't beat around the bush. She directly eliminated Ted's concerns.

"Ted, please allow me to call you that. I want to thank you for taking care of Neville..."

Stress Granny is always very worried about Neville.

Because Neville's uncle has no children, the Longbottom family now has only one heir.

The problem is, this heir is the Boy-Who-Lived.

Although Grandma Pressure has always put pressure on Neville, she is actually the one who has been under the most pressure over the years.

She had always been worried that she would not be able to hold on for a few more years. If she left, Neville would probably suffer the malice of the entire wizarding world...

By then, the only person Neville could rely on might be Dumbledore.
