Hogwarts magic is justice

Chapter 94 How to Spend Money Now

Back when the old Demon King was a force to be reckoned with throughout Europe, he amassed a fortune, acquiring antiques, paintings, gems, and jade artifacts in droves. All of these things were hidden in a place known in the wizarding world as—the Demon King's Treasure.

In fact, no one else knew, not even the confidants who had always been by the old Demon King's side, that the treasure was nothing to the wizards. The real treasures were hidden in another place, where not only were the good things that the old Demon King had obtained, but also all kinds of magical items that had been passed down from the last century.

Dumbledore had some suspicions, but the old devil had long since lost his guard against Owen. He hadn't said anything, but Owen was too young, and he didn't advise Owen to retrieve the treasure now, as that would make the young wizard an enemy of the wizarding world.

The old demon king wouldn't say that a child would bring gold into the marketplace, but the principle and consequences are the same.

"Old man—"

Owen took the old devil's hand and sat down with him on the newly transformed soft chair. His black eyes looked at the shimmering black lake, and he smiled, saying, "I have a long life ahead of me, and I want a lot. In my planned future, I will marry a wife and have my own children. You, Dumbledore, Newt, and Nico, none of you will escape. You'll all stay home and help me take care of the kids."

The old demon king couldn't help but laugh: "Kid, is that all you've got?"

"Otherwise what?"

Owen clapped his hands and pointed to the sky, saying, "Unify the wizarding world? Old man, you can see for yourself how many fools there are in this wizarding world. If I unify them, won't I be responsible for them? Won't I be busy dealing with their stupidity? Why should I waste my time and energy on such people? For example, look at Dumbledore now. I don't want my future to be like his."

The old demon king sighed: "Back in my day—I just didn't have your level of insight—"

There are some things that shouldn't be recalled. Why did the old Demon King raise his staff back then? It was because he couldn't stand the atmosphere in the magical world at the time!

He believed that wizards were too conservative and unambitious, and that they would be discovered and eliminated by Muggles sooner or later. So he got anxious, took action, and ultimately failed.

His initial idea was sound, but as the operation began, his temper grew increasingly agitated, to the point that it affected his initial objective. So, what was it that made him so hot-headed?

In his view, it was simply foolish!

Not only his enemies, but also his subordinates, and even those high-ranking officials who pretend to be blind, such as those old fogies in the International Wizarding Federation—

They are unwilling to change their conservative way of life and turn a blind eye to future threats. If such people are not eliminated, it would be a crime against the wizarding world!

But now he understands. He went to such great lengths to fight for a future for people like this, but not only did no one support him, but countless people opposed him. Was it really necessary for him to worry about the future of these people?

After I die, I don't care about the flood!

If these words came from the mouth of a king, he would be a tyrant, someone who would be recorded in history books and cursed by all. But if these words came from the Black King, then he would be completely free of such thoughts.

The former Gettler Grindelwald is gone; only an old wizard, now relaxed after being comforted by a young wizard, remains.

Of course, Dumbledore also deserves credit for this.

Seeing his old friend, who was clearly powerful enough, still feared and guarded against by various forces, yet forced to run around for trivial matters, naturally made him feel much happier.

It's not that he can't stand seeing others do well, but when he compares himself to others, he realizes that he's actually quite content with his current life.

"Take it!"

The old devil took a piece of parchment from his pocket and slapped it into Owen's hand: "The things I've hidden are in these two places. If Dumbledore wants them, then he can take them out."

Owen didn't even look, whistled at the sky, and then with a "snap," Fox appeared in the air and pounced into the little wizard's arms, rubbing his head against his face.

After a while, Owen handed the parchment to Fawkes: "Take this to Dumbledore and tell him—"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a sudden dizziness, and then with a "thud," he was teleported, chair and all, to the principal's office by Fox.

The old devil chuckled softly, got up, and left. Owen, however, looked at the headmaster, who was sitting in a chair stuffing candy into his mouth, his face darkening: "Dumbledore, didn't I tell you you can't eat candy like that?"

"certainly----"

In the blink of an eye, the old man stuffed another handful of candy into his mouth, then stared longingly at Owen, confiscating all the candy he had hidden.

"Oh, right, Mr. Green asked me to give this to you. He said since you want it, you can take it."

Dumbledore pushed it back: "This is what I asked for for you, Owen. You now control a vast fortune. What do you most want to do?"

Owen thought for a moment and replied, "Let's renovate the castle, add some alchemy equipment, and there's a large open space behind the castle. If we have more money, we can expand the castle further. If we don't have enough, we can create a scenic area, how about we build a magic fountain?"

Dumbledore laughed heartily: "My dear, we don't need to compare ourselves to other magic schools. What makes Hogwarts stand out most is its rich history."

Irving rolled his eyes: "Come on, the money's not even here yet. I don't plan to spend this money until I'm the principal."

"Is it because you're not the principal that you can't win people's hearts?"

"Because I'm not the principal, I don't get to decide what it looks like or how it's spent. But I've decided to build a magic fountain! Not only that, I'm also going to connect the Floo Net to the fountain, so everyone who comes will have to take a shower!"

Dumbledore laughed again. He wasn't trying to test Owen; he was just teasing him out of habit and having some fun.

To be in charge —

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that he's still the headmaster means there's nothing Owen can't do at Hogwarts. For example, what we're discussing now is moving Slytherin's common room from the dungeons to a tower in another castle.

Previously, due to the lack of teaching materials, the Slytherins had no problem living in the dungeon, but now that the dungeon has been put into use again, it is not so safe for the students to still live there.

Of course, not only Slytherins, but Hufflepuffs will also be moved.

Living next to the kitchen is really nice, even too nice. The Hufflepuffs are already overweight, and this can't go on.

Dumbledore agreed to all the suggestions. Before leaving, Owen placed a gem on his desk: "I've checked, it's safe. You can take it."

The old wizard stared blankly at the gems on the table, completely unaware that Owen had left.

Resurrection Stone.

This really is a resurrection stone.
