Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 71, Question 70: Galleons are actually quite easy to make money from.

Dudley plans to resell a batch of experimental equipment to earn some Galleons. Carlo paid half a purchase price and half a gift for the Galleons he received when he bought back his wand at the start of the school year, and now he has almost used them all up.

No one ever thinks they have too many Galleons.

As the saying goes, money can take you anywhere, but without it, you can't move an inch.

Dudley, in particular, is a big spender of gold, as the long-term brewing of potions results in an unusually high consumption of materials.

The weekend was fine, as Snape would reimburse the cost of materials.

But that doesn't work from Monday to Friday, because Dudley usually has to pay for his own potions.

Although there are countless potions in the Forbidden Forest, Dudley doesn't have enough time to pick them one by one according to the ingredient list. Most of the time, he just picks whatever he sees and doesn't specifically look for them.

For example, if you need material A, you might go to the Forbidden Forest and find countless B, C, D, and E materials, but in the end, you still won't get material A.

This situation sometimes lasts for more than a day, and can even continue for a week before you find a single material A.

Therefore, Dali often chooses to buy directly to avoid wasting too much time.

Similarly, this has led to his current situation of spending money like water.

In the ordinary world, Dudley is very rich, but he can't exchange that money for Gallon through legitimate means.

If you try to exchange gold for Galleons, you'll probably be devoured by those greedy goblins at Gringotts, leaving not even a trace.

As for selling some potions to make money.

Are you kidding me? Every potion is a vital life-saving item; there's no way I'm selling them.

Anyway, Galleons are something that Dudley can make a lot of money from.

He has money in the ordinary world, so he should make full use of that and convert that money into money here.

The first thing that came to Dali's mind was reselling experimental equipment.

When selling something, the first thing to do is to spread the word, which means—giving up.

Sending Ron and Malfoy was just to make a name for themselves.

This is a quick way to make money.

Sure enough, on that very day, Dudley received at least eighty orders from Malfoy, all from Slytherin.

After nearly two months of getting to know each other, the young Slytherin wizards had a pretty good grasp of Dudley's character. As long as they didn't provoke him, he was easy to communicate with. In addition, Dudley added almost half a house cup hourglass to Slytherin's score, making Slytherin far ahead of the other four houses.

Even many senior students treated him differently, making overt and covert attempts to befriend him.

The attitudes of the young wizards in the same grade toward Dudley also became subtle.

In Slytherin, if you are outstanding, you will definitely get attention; if you are exceptionally outstanding, you will gain even more recognition.

As for Dudley's Muggle wizard status... well, since Dudley is Harry's cousin, and Dudley's aunt, Lily, is a genuine wizard, some people don't consider Dudley a Muggle wizard.

As for the other group, you're not Galleon, so don't expect everyone to like you.

Orders on the second day were more than three times that of the first day, with many upperclassmen Slytherin and even young wizards from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff placing orders.

No one wants to face Snape's venom head-on.

The number doubled again on the third day.

The steady stream of orders brought Dali a lot of Galonnaise.

"Are you really giving me this much?"

Ron stared at Harry in disbelief, or rather, at the bag in his hand.

"Brother D said this is what you deserve; he calls it a dividend."

Harry smiled and handed the bag to Ron.

Dudley is undoubtedly generous, especially when you do him a good deed.

This is why he was able to poach his editors to work for him.

They pay when it's due, absolutely no hesitation, and very straightforward.

Not only Ron, but Hermione, Harry, and Malfoy also received a copy.

Ron took the bag of gold coins from Harry's hand with trembling hands, as if in a dream, but the heavy feeling in his palm pulled him back to reality.

There are at least one hundred Galleons.

Good heavens, Ron had never seen so much money, let alone owned it.

Even a single Xico can last a long time.

"Mr. Dursley is truly amazing."

Ron exclaimed in genuine admiration.

"Of course, I've never seen anything that Brother D can't do, or anything that Brother D can't accomplish."

Hearing his best friend praise his brother so highly, Harry was overjoyed and began to lavish praise on Dudley even more.

It's almost as if he's going to stick his nose in and say, "My brother D is invincible."

"What an enviable older brother!"

Unlike my brother, who only bullies me.

Ron thought of his older brothers. The older Weasley children had already graduated from Hogwarts and started working, while the younger ones still had a year before starting school. Ron thought of his two older brothers, George and Fred, who were closest to him in age.

These two guys have only ever bullied him since he was a child.

He still remembers holding his only rag doll when he was very young. It was the only toy his mother made for him by hand. He loved it very much and always held it close, refusing to give it to anyone else.

George and Fred wanted to snatch it to play with, but Ron wouldn't give it to them. So they secretly used their father's wand to turn the rag doll in Ron's arms into a giant spider.

Can you imagine that scene? The rag doll in your arms suddenly transforms into an arthropod bigger than you, with eight legs, staring at you with eight eyes that gleam with a terrifying light. Ron can even feel the dark downy hairs on the creature's two pincers.

He only remembers that his body stiffened, all the hairs on his body stood on end, and his mind went blank.

Ron almost went crazy at that moment.

Then he never touched the doll again and gave it to his little sister Ginny.

Afterwards, George and Fred said it was just a prank, a joke, and that they loved to joke around.

Ron forgave them because they were his family, but the spider became Ron's deepest fear, a lingering shadow.

"You know I don't need this."

On the other side of Slytherin, Malfoy pushed back the bag full of Galleons that was handed to him.

Malfoy's family was very wealthy, but that didn't mean Malfoy himself was rich. In fact, Lucius didn't give him much pocket money each month.

This bag of gold coins was a considerable sum for him.

"But you deserve it."

Dudley grabbed it and placed it directly in Malfoy's hands.

Malfoy stared at the money pouch in his hand, biting his upper lip, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to speak. Just as Dudley was about to leave, he subconsciously blurted out, "Excuse me, I... I mean, can I call you 'D-bro' like Potter? I know that's a title only your friends can use."

"Of course, aren't we friends?"

Malfoy looked up abruptly and saw Daly wink at him.

At that moment, Malfoy felt that the face that had once filled him with such terror was no longer so frightening.

The Way comes from the heart.

"Okay, Brother D."

Ron has his strengths.

Malfoy is essentially the same as Ron; he had no friends growing up.
