Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

That's right.

As an adult wizard, he was of course very clear that what Ryan had just said could not be explained by simply being rich.

Just what he just said is probably enough to crush hundreds of years of accumulation of most pure-blood families!

"That's the thing, Mr. Weasley."

Ryan chuckled and said, "We are wizards - wealth should serve a greater purpose, otherwise it is meaningless."

He doesn't care about money, has never touched money, and doesn't even know what money is.

"Ah, this..."*2

At this time, Gemini finally came to his senses.

They looked at each other, and for a long time no one said a word.

In the end, they could only give a thumbs up - good brother, you got it!

"But...but we still have to go to school. I mean, even if we drop out of school, we can't manage three stores...We don't feel at ease if we hire other people."

George said reluctantly.

"Oh, that's easier."

Then, Ryan smiled again: "I happen to have some precious, extremely intelligent and convenient magic puppets on hand - they can manage the store for you and provide you with sales records every once in a while..."

"That's the convenience of alchemy..."

He talked freely.

After hearing this, the Gemini expressions became even weirder.

George muttered, "But this way, it sounds like Fred and I are just figureheads who provide you with products and inspiration..."

Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes without the Weasleys?

After hearing this, Ryan just glanced at the two of them and said, "Do you care?"

Then Fred and George also grinned.

"of course not!"

They only care about the prank business they love, which is the original purpose of setting up the store.

And now... Ryan's plan not only allows them to own their own store and sell their prank props to various countries, but more importantly - they even have a lot of their own time to research new prank ideas!

“This is awesome!”*2

The twins said in unison.

Then, the Burrow was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Until this moment, Ron was still a little confused.

what's the situation?

He was just crying about his pocket money being stolen, how did the situation develop to this point in the blink of an eye?

"Our family...is going to become rich?"

Ron was a little confused.

But then, he was hugged by the twins around his neck: "No, Ronnie - it's me and Fred who are going to be rich, and of course... Mom, Dad and Ginny will benefit from it too."

"As for you—"

George stretched out his voice, and Fred beside him continued: "Don't forget the pocket money you owe us - if you don't have a Nat, you're finished!"

And after such a conversation, Ron had a sad face.

The last month of summer vacation passed quickly amid the laughter in the Burrow.

And it has to be said.

Ryan had a pretty easy and happy life this month.

He would occasionally go fishing with Charlie in the surrounding ponds - this became Ryan's new hobby.

Apart from that, he would occasionally play Thunderbolt Explosion with Harry and Ron, or discuss store-related matters with the twins - it is worth mentioning that the twins have decided to change the name of the store to 'Weasley and Elias Wizard Wheezes'.

"You're famous. Putting your name on the shop will help it do more business!"

The twins said so.

And it was during such a happy time.

August 8th arrived.

At this critical juncture with only two days left before the start of the new semester, Ryan of course still has an important thing to do - he has to go buy textbooks for the new semester with several Weasleys and Harry!

And besides that...

"Today is Gilderoy Lockhart's book signing event, we must get there early!"

"Hold this, Floo fan—remember, Diagon Alley... don't make any mistakes."

Ryan took the Floo powder handed to him by Ms. Molly Weasley and looked at the witch who was obviously excited at the moment, but he didn't find it strange.

He stayed at the Burrow for a month, and that month was enough for him to learn that Mrs. Weasley was a fan of Gilderoy Lockhart.

Well...in fact, that famous writer who is talented but a bit greasy is already very popular among witches of this age.

But what Ryan didn't expect was...

Just after Ms. Molly gave her instructions, problems soon arose.

At this moment, Harry walked into the fireplace.

"Diagonal incense!"

Ryan clearly heard Harry mispronounce words nervously.

Then, accompanied by a blazing fire.

Harry disappeared.

Chapter 159 Borgin and Burkes and the Locket...Weasley's Fury!

"Cough...cough..."

Harry Potter struggled to climb out of the fireplace.

"Oh, shit—I pronounced it wrong..."

He obviously realized what a mistake he had made.

"Oh, I'm so stupid..."

He cursed himself inwardly, but it was obviously useless.

So he began to look around, trying to figure out where he had been teleported to.

Then...

"!!!"

Harry was startled.

Because not far from him, in a transparent glass display case, a human skull was placed inside.

Harry took a few steps back in fright, his hands subconsciously resting on the cabinet beside him.

"what!"

Then he screamed again - because at this moment, a shriveled human hand had grabbed him in the glass box on the cabinet.

"Damn it!"

Harry struggled to break free of the hand, and then he quickly noticed a deck of blood-stained cards not far away, and next to the cards was a one-eyed figure staring at him.

So, Harry subconsciously avoided its sight and came to a display case in the corner of the room - on the display case was a very beautiful-looking opal necklace, which Harry felt was perhaps the only harmless thing in the whole room.

But soon, he saw the card next to the display case.

[Warning: Do not touch - the necklace is cursed and has caused the tragic deaths of nineteen Muggles to date]

Then, Harry's body shook unconsciously.

"I have to get out of here!"

He made a decisive decision - no matter where this was, he had to leave first!

"Ryan and Mr. Weasley are definitely going to come looking for me, so I have to find a safe place, and this is obviously not it."

He quickly saw the door not far away and walked out quickly.

Then... he saw an unfamiliar street.

The narrow cobblestone road twists and turns, branching into many forks, like countless converging snakes.

The buildings on both sides are tilted and squeezed, as if they will close together at any time and crush the intruders into meat paste.

Even on this hot summer day, it's still eerie and cold here.

Harry saw wizards walking along the road.

But unlike the wizards he often saw, the wizards here had gloomy expressions and wore black robes or masks to conceal their identities.

Harry even saw a wizard's face covered with twisting black pustules, which exuded an ominous magic - it was obviously a trace of some kind of dark magic.

Their hands were tucked into their sleeves in various positions - and after last year's adventures, Harry, who had done his homework, knew very well that... this meant that they were probably holding their wands at all times!

"Merlin's thumb... What the hell is this place?"

Harry was confused for a moment and glanced at the shop he had just been in - it was called Borgin and Burke's.

It sounded normal, but Harry, who knew what was going on inside, just walked quickly on the street, trying to find some people or shops that looked friendly.

But the truth is... he couldn't find it.

He walked past two shops in succession, one called 'Blood Brew Pharmacy' and the other called 'Bone Whispering Divination House', each with signs depicting blood and human bones.

Harry struggled for a long time but couldn't muster up the courage to go in.

He realized that he might have made a wrong choice - the shop called 'Borgin and Burke's' was probably the most normal-named shop on this street!
