Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 200 Ron: No one can take my money!
But she did not trust Dumbledore, ever since her son and daughter-in-law joined the Order of the Phoenix.
When her son and daughter-in-law died, she became even less convinced.

An old man in his seventies was unwilling to hand over his grandson to the greatest white wizard of this century.

This old lady didn't have much contact with Dumbledore. Although she opposed the pure-blood family's ideas, she also did not approve of the Order of the Phoenix.

This is a matter of philosophy. She does not deny Dumbledore's greatness, but this greatness sometimes seems too cruel.

After all, she was an old lady who came from a big family, married into another big family, and held power for decades.

She doesn't easily believe those great reasons.

Many people talk about being great, but I don't know what they are thinking. She has seen too much.

But she couldn't understand Dumbledore.

On the contrary, the old lady has a good relationship with Professor McGonagall.

Neville, who was shy and introverted and could never be strong, had always been a source of worry for her. It was hard to say whether he could survive, let alone support the entire Longbottom family.

The Boy Who Lived! This is an honor, but also a pressure.

But now, under the influence of Ted and other friends, Neville has finally become strong and is finally able to try to shoulder the pressure brought by the Boy-Who-Lived.

He had his own close friends and comrades-in-arms...

Such a frank conversation made Ted like him even more.

He really didn't want to play tricks with these people or play the guessing game.

His time is precious.

This is also the reason why he talked with Dumbledore and finally the two sides reached an agreement.

Ted told her about his plan to run the Salted Fish House together with several families. Grandma Neville was very pleased and agreed.

"Even if you don't say it, I still want to remind you to be careful not to attract too much attention."

Ted had a sumptuous meal at Longbottom Manor, and the dishes were actually from the Hogwarts kitchen.

Before leaving, Ted persuaded Neville to ask his grandmother to buy him a wand of his own - he was using his father's wand.

Ted and the others only knew about it after the Battle of the Chamber of Secrets when Neville told Ron himself when he was comforting him after he lost his old wand.

Ron: Sad? I'm not sad! Get that damn wand out of my memory! I don't want to think about wands and slugs anymore! I'm going to buy a new one~~~
Afterwards, Ted went to the Black family home, 12 Grimmauld Place.

To be honest, this place is really awesome!
Ted can be said to be well-informed. Not to mention the various knowledge about other worlds, the strange objects and information brought by Xianyu.com have made him more knowledgeable than many closed-minded old wizards.

But when I arrived at the Black ancestral home at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, which features a large part in the original novel, I was still shocked!
This is simply a small magic fortress!
Various defensive magics, ritual magics, alarm magics, white magics, black magics... were intertwined together. Using the mystical vision, it looked like a dazzling galaxy in front of one's eyes.

Various magics are intertwined in an orderly manner to form an overall magical defense, which is very ingenious and grand.

If this thing hadn't been built and managed by several generations, forget it.

No wonder it was later used as the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. It is really safe.

This is much stronger than the Longbottom family's manor - the Longbottom family's manor uses a large-scale defense system based on magical plants, magical animals and magic arrays. A magic token is needed to pass through the magic shield to reach it.

As for the Weasley shack... um, goblin and ghoul defense? Never mind, let's talk about something else?
Compared to the grandness of the Longbottom family, Sirius's was very casual.

Not to mention dressing up, he barely even buttoned up most of his shirt, revealing a palm-wide pubic area.

But he was very enthusiastic. He gave Ted a bear hug as soon as he came up, then put his arm around Ted's shoulders and chatted and laughed.

He doesn't seem like an elder, but more like an older brother who shares the same interests with you.

Of course, he was chased away by Ms. Olivia before he could say a few words: "Go change your clothes! How rude!"

This lady is very cultured, intellectual, gentle, dignified and generous. She holds a very high position in Harry's heart, well, higher than Sirius.

Fortunately, she had the guidance of this lady, otherwise, under Sirius's teaching, Harry would have directly accepted Malfoy as his younger brother, formed an evil force in Hogwarts, and directly demolished the school.

After dinner, Ted, led by Hallie, visited this huge ancestral house, which was four or five stories high and had a basement and a prison.

Harry introduced him to many strange magical items, as well as portraits of successive family heads hanging on the wall, and even a few house-elf heads!

Damn it! Are you treating me as a hunting specimen?

Harry also explained with an embarrassed look on his face: "This is the old family custom. We have not done this for a long time. We were going to pick it up and bury it, but Kreacher (their family elf, who is almost 120 years old) was determined not to agree..."

"He also said that after his death, he wanted Sirius to use the family's secret method to preserve his head and hang it on the wall like his predecessors in previous generations, to show his contribution to the family for 120 years of sincere service!" It is said that not long after the death of a house-elf, the body will decompose and turn into magic. It is really impossible to preserve the head without a secret method...

Ted took the time to talk to Sirius about joining the Salty Fish House.

In Sirius's view, it was just borrowing the name of the Black family.

Wouldn't it be better to lend money to young people you like instead of relatives you don't like?

As for money, distribution of interests, division of power, etc., he doesn't care.

The demeanor of a wealthy and dandy young man~
He told Ted about the mischievous things he and his group did at school, and the amazing magic they developed, the magic props they made privately, the night tours, the forbidden forest, the adventures they formed during the holidays, etc. His eyes lit up.

Although Sirius was married and looked mature, a man was still a boy until death, and what he missed most was still the best time of his youth...

He even quietly asked Ted what he thought of Harley and whether he had any reasonable ideas.
Ted said: No! We are just good friends, that's all.

Sirius was very sorry and seemed to be very optimistic about Ted.

Ted: I know that the West is early in this regard, but we are only 12 years old! Are you kidding me?

Maybe the big families all had plans in this regard early on.

Sirius sighed, wondering which unlucky guy, or lucky guy, his daughter would end up with.
Finally, Ted visited the humble room again.

On the one hand, it is to borrow the ancient title of the Weasley family.

The Weasley family is different from other wizarding families. They are real local families. You can tell from their red hair that they have ancient Celtic blood, which makes them older than later families like the Malfoy and Potter.

Secondly, it was also Weasley’s doing.

The second grade had just started, and the couple was already starving to send their children to school.

Unexpectedly, he got into an accident while speeding and was punished and fined. This was simply adding insult to injury for our already poor family!

Now that Tedlar has taken over, I can get an extra thirty or forty Galleons every month, and I suddenly have a lot more money on hand.

At least I can buy two more sets of clothes for the kids, right?
The couple disagreed with this at first, as they always felt like they were taking advantage of their younger generation.

Ted repeatedly said that the Weasleys, who had a high population and status in the wizarding world, were needed to help save the situation, and the couple did not intend to ask for money.

Ted then said that the other two families had already received money, and it would be embarrassing for them if you didn't take it. This was the finalization of the matter.

In addition to the three families, Ted is joined by Giggs, his former lover Ms. Purnell (the one who owns the beauty shop), and Old Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.

Well, those who have a good relationship with me and those who have done me a favor were not left behind.

Before leaving, Ted discussed with Ron about buying a wand - Ron had been dragging his feet for more than two weeks and hadn't bought one - he was actually reluctant to spend money!

Ron: I earned that by spitting slugs and sacrificing my butt to beat a basilisk!

Finally, Ted made an appointment with him and Neville to buy wands on the same day.

What's a wizard without a wand?!

After Ted left, Aunt Molly, who had a very sharp ear, approached Ron.

"Little Ronnie~ You want to buy a wand? Great! Where did you get the money?"

Ron made nearly 10 gold royals by selling amulets with his own efforts - the slug and the panic of the people.

After the Chamber of Secrets incident, Ted also got compensation from Dumbledore.

After all, he sacrificed his wand to defeat the basilisk! 10 Galleons for the loss of the wand.

I now have nearly 20 Galleons on hand, which is several times the family savings.

Oh no, our family has negative savings now.

Ron: I can’t spend it all. I can’t spend it all.
Ginny: Brother, our family is rich now!

Aunt Molly: Come, let me save it for you so you can get married in the future!
Ron shook his head like a rattle: No! I won't marry that thing! No one can take my money~
Aunt Molly: Nonsense, how can I not get married!

Ron looked serious and whispered: "Mom, I saw your letter from Lockhart..."

Now that Lockhart's affair has been exposed, facing the shameful situation of the middle-aged idol's collapse, Aunt Molly is a little embarrassed: Forget it, you are grown up, keep this money, don't spend it recklessly~
