Settle at Hogwarts
Chapter 331 Investing
Tabor carefully felt the condition of his body and found that the candy did contain a magic power, but it was too weak and did not have the desired effect at all.
"No, you succeeded. It's just that wizards with powerful magic have certain resistance to magic props."
"George, did you hear that?"
"Of course Fred, the professor said our invention was a success!!!"
Tabor knocked on the table to draw their attention back to him.
“If you want to open a store, you can’t just have this one product.”
George and Fred looked at each other, and they already had some suspicions in their hearts.
"Of course we won't have this one idea."
"In fact, we already have 436 relatively mature ideas and 88 feasible plans."
"so......."
“Do you want to invest in us?”
Tabor touched his chin and looked at the two almost identical faces, revealing the same look of anticipation.
"It's not impossible."
"Professor, we can agree to any conditions you have."
"Yes! Professor, even if you want our little brother, we will help you."
Tabor rubbed his forehead helplessly. Perhaps people with active thinking have stronger imaginations and brain abilities.
The Weasley brothers are twin brothers who share the same mind. Their way of talking is sometimes interesting to listen to, but after a long time, it is really difficult to resist.
"You finish your meal first, don't waste food. By the way, think carefully about how much Galleons investment is needed and what you can give."
After finishing speaking, Tabor ignored the expressions of the brothers and continued to collect the unused materials.
"George, what do you think we have?"
"About, 100 kilograms of meat!"
"I'm not kidding. Also, should the research funding be 50 Galleons or 100 Galleons?"
"100 galleons is definitely not enough. In addition to research, it is not a small investment to produce the products that have been researched."
After the two brothers slowly stuffed all the food, Tabor sat across from them again.
"Professor, we need a sponsorship of 1000 Galleons. Of course, you can give us the 1000 Galleons in installments."
The other Weasley continued what his brother said: "In exchange, we will give you half of the profits from future Wizarding Wheezes workshops."
Tabor stared at the boys opposite and saw the smiles on their faces gradually stiffening.
"Professor, is there a question?"
"If 1000 Galleons is too much, 500 Galleons is also fine."
The Weasley brothers became more and more uneasy. They really didn't want to give up on the possible sponsorship for the first time in their lives.
Seeing Fred and George becoming more and more nervous, Tabor couldn't help but chuckle.
"Okay, there is nothing wrong with investing 1000 Galleons, but are you going to use class time to conduct research?"
Fred and George looked at each other, excitement showing in their eyes.
"Professor, we can study it during class."*2
Tabor nodded: "Very good, but I don't want the sufficient materials to affect your normal study life."
George and Fred were both smart, and they immediately gave their assurances.
Tabor waved his hand: "Okay, let's make an agreement."
The Weasley brothers immediately silenced themselves and looked at Tubber with a flattering expression.
"After all, the future trick shop will be run by the two of you. I will account for 40.00% of the profit, but I will not participate in any management of the store. As an investor, the specific investment amount will be no less than 1000 Galleons."
The Weasley brothers nodded, thinking of the Galleons they were about to receive, and they all showed a somewhat silly smile.
"Note, I said no less, which means I may invest more if necessary later."
George and Fred nodded wildly, feeling that Professor Prince was so good.
"However, I will check your research progress while you are in school, and the number of Galleons you can receive in the short term depends on your performance."
"Professor, how much is the first investment?"
Tabor shook his head with a half-smile: "No."
"what?"
"what?"
"Fred, I think the professor is playing tricks on us!"
"George, you can remove it."
When the two of them focused their attention on themselves again, Tabor said with a smile: "Don't be anxious! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
The Weasley brothers immediately quieted down and acted well-behaved.
"Originally, I was thinking of giving 10 galleons a week as your research funds. But I thought you had deducted a lot of points before, and you came to me for labor services..."
"Professor, we swear we will never make the same mistake again."
"Yes Professor, we won't deduct any more points."
Tabor was not moved by the pitiful looks of the two men: "In the future, for every point you add, I will provide one galleon of sponsorship. If points are deducted, this week's sponsorship will be deducted.
During the two months of summer vacation, you can get 80 galleons. If the two of you can reach the top of your grade, you will increase it on this basis. "
Both Fred and George were a little nervous. They often deducted points, but rarely received extra points.
As for the previous age, I have never had extravagant expectations.
“As for the research results, if I am satisfied with them, you can also get part of the investment.
When you two successfully graduate from Hogwarts, I will top up your investment of 1000 Galleons, and then, based on this, help you buy all the store needs. "
The Weasley brothers felt that they could not refuse at all. As long as they agreed, their wishes would definitely be realized in the future.
"Professor, how do you calculate the deductions and points you mentioned?"
"You shouldn't deduct points from us."
Tabor shook his head: "I will not deduct points from you on purpose. Starting today, until Friday night, we will calculate the extra points for this week."
Hearing that starting today, the Weasley brothers were relieved. You must know that they were deducted points yesterday!
Tabor took out a piece of parchment, wrote some specific details on it, and asked the two to look at it.
He himself dug out the pile of papers on transfiguration again.
"Professor, we have no objections. Do we need to sign a contract?"
Tubber pulled out his wand and drew a few symbols on the parchment.
"It's already a contract, you can sign it if you want."
Tabor said it very casually. Anyway, contract magic like this cannot bind him at all.
Of course, he didn't intend to violate the above content.
Fred and George signed their names seriously, and then watched the parchment begin to burn instantly.
"Is this a successful contract? Professor."
Tabor nodded: "Of course, but the binding nature of this contract is not very strong. Even if it is an illegal contract, there will not be any serious consequences."
The two Mr. Weasleys didn't care about anything at all at this time. They only knew that they had a sponsor and finally didn't have to worry about galleons in the future.
"Okay, you can leave now. Go back and think about how to add points to Gryffindor."
"Good professor!"
"Thank you again!"
"Generous Mr. Prince."
Tabor felt that the office was finally quiet, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, the reason why he invested in the Weasley brothers' business was considered random.
There isn't much demand for Garonne Tabor right now, and the most I can do is buy some snacks.
Using house points and grades as criteria is also to allow the two Weasleys to be more at ease and to allow Minerva to worry less.
Although both of them have many novel ideas, even if they play pranks, they will not be annoying, but they will eventually give the professors more or less headaches.
The first grade Transfiguration class was held the next day. After entering the classroom, Tabor handed out homework to each student.
"I have read your papers carefully, and Miss Granger is probably the most serious among them. So I will give Gryffindor 2 points first."
When Hermione heard that she was praised, she immediately raised her head high, with a calm expression on her face, but she couldn't hide the smile at the corner of her mouth.
Draco silently pinched the corner of the parchment. Obviously his handwriting was so neat and graceful, and the content was carefully read. Why was the professor staring at the pony girl?
When Harry saw the comments after his homework, he couldn't help but glance at Hermione, and then lowered his head with a look on his face: "I am reading seriously."
"But I'm glad there's no one here who failed their paper."
Tabor's eyes swept over Harry and several other students who had traces of reference.
"If your theoretical knowledge can reach the level shown in the paper, then there won't be any big problems in future practice."
After Tabor finished speaking, he started talking about today's lesson.
Harry felt a little tormented in his heart. He always felt that the professor was talking about him.It is inevitable that I will be a little more worried about future practice.
Tabor wasn't too worried about Harry's practical applications.
If you are lazy about theoretical things, you will definitely not be able to learn them well.
But when it comes to actually using spells, those with outstanding talents only need to master some necessary common sense to easily achieve the desired effects of magic.
Harry grew up in a wizarding family, and because of his profound knowledge and talent, it was easier for him to learn magic than ordinary classmates.
Of course, in Tabor's view, hard work can make up for failure, which also applies to magic.
Hermione spent a lot of time studying. Although she was not very strong in magic, she was able to use a large number of spells to solve various problems.
In this class, what really worries Tubo is the demolition genius Seamus Finnigan.
Perhaps because he was still too young, he could never control his magic power well.
If the actual operation fails, Finnigan will probably have to stay at level one.
Tabor didn't think much about it. In the original plot, Finnigan was always in the same grade as Harry, and he also successfully obtained certificates in Charms, Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts in the Owl exam.
This also shows that his potential talent is not bad.
After finishing the class step by step, Tabor looked at Harry who stayed behind without any surprise.
"Professor, I..."
"Quidditch practice must be busy."
"Hey! Professor, how did you know?"
Tabor waved his hand indifferently: "Slytherin has been selecting reserve members since the first flying lesson."
Harry nodded, his mind filled with knowledge about Quidditch, and for a moment he forgot why he took the initiative to stay.
Tubo also didn't expect that even if Harry had a different father, he still loved the sport of Quidditch.
Maybe, Severus also has good flying talent?
Tubber pushed the thoughts away from his mind. He still remembered the scene when he took Severus on a flying carpet.
The students should have a somewhat favorable impression of the only physical education class.
"Are you staying because you have objections to my evaluation?"
Harry immediately shook his head wildly: "No, don't talk nonsense, I am not."
Feeling Harry's full desire to survive, Tabor couldn't help laughing.
"Your paper contains some of your own ideas, plus the content in the book, so I gave you e.
Do you understand that this level is only for the content of this paper? "
"Yes, Professor."
"As for the rest, since you have stayed, let's write another paper. If you want to write a few more papers, I will put them away."
After Tabor finished talking about the business, his expression suddenly relaxed: "Actually, Miss Granger is a very good choice. Although she comes from a Muggle family, isn't your mother also from a Muggle family?
Moreover, she is smart enough and will definitely be able to accomplish something in the future. "
Tubo ignored Harry, who looked a little stunned because of his words, and turned around and returned to his lounge.
Harry stood in the classroom for a long time, but he could not figure out why the professor suddenly brought him and Granger together.
Obviously they haven't even spoken a few times.
Hermione was always in a hurry, heading into the library as soon as get out of class was over.
This also led to the fact that although they didn't hate each other, they were far less familiar with each other than they were with Ron.
Harry suddenly thought of the penultimate sentence that Tubo had just said.He regretted it a little. Everything was fine, but now he had one or even a few more papers.
Tabor was lying on his bed, thinking about where to look today.
Magic flowed between them, and the headmaster's room of Hogwarts was reflected on the wall.
Principal McGonagall, who turned into a tabby cat, searched the entire principal's office with some seriousness.
Just now, through the cat's sensitive sense, she felt like she was being spied on.
However, after searching the principal's office, no problem was found.
Minerva gave up searching and turned into a tabby cat again, squatting on the table and licking the dried fish on the plate.
Tabor was a little confused. Why didn't Madam Principal eat directly in human form? Is it possible that fish would be more delicious when Animagus is used?
"No, you succeeded. It's just that wizards with powerful magic have certain resistance to magic props."
"George, did you hear that?"
"Of course Fred, the professor said our invention was a success!!!"
Tabor knocked on the table to draw their attention back to him.
“If you want to open a store, you can’t just have this one product.”
George and Fred looked at each other, and they already had some suspicions in their hearts.
"Of course we won't have this one idea."
"In fact, we already have 436 relatively mature ideas and 88 feasible plans."
"so......."
“Do you want to invest in us?”
Tabor touched his chin and looked at the two almost identical faces, revealing the same look of anticipation.
"It's not impossible."
"Professor, we can agree to any conditions you have."
"Yes! Professor, even if you want our little brother, we will help you."
Tabor rubbed his forehead helplessly. Perhaps people with active thinking have stronger imaginations and brain abilities.
