Harry Potter I Am Death

Chapter 179 Preparation

The winter in England was freezing cold, but the shiny silver pocket watch was kept warm by Hermione.

The two pointers of equal length both point to the position of "school". When the heads are put together, the two portraits on the active magic photo will enter the same frame.

Carefully putting the pocket watch into the innermost pocket, Hermione sat in the Gryffindor common room, the flickering fire light danced on Hermione's face, her smile was as warm as the fire.

Eli also huddled in front of the fire in the Slytherin common room, and the two of them couldn't help rubbing their hands together, and breathed a few breaths from time to time.

Snowball fights in winter are definitely something like a fairy tale, but there is no fairy tale about hands being frozen into pig's trotters, and there is no fairy tale about someone stuffing a pile of snow into someone's collar.

If you want to say that this is the unhealthy trend brought up by Eli, the snowball is stuffed with ice, and the snow is poured into other people's clothes.

As the initiator, he would naturally enjoy the treatment of being besieged.

When a few people finished their madness in the snow and returned to the castle to calm down, the late cold mercilessly made several people hang up long noses.

"Hiss..." Eli sniffed, and tremblingly took out a letter from his pocket.

He went to the owl shed, where he got the letter from Klein.

Voldemort's resurrection is imminent, and the operation to infiltrate the pure-blood family is imminent.

The only thing that can win over a pure-blooded family is profit. Eli almost grasped such a huge profit, but because of poor thinking, the Phoenix potion shop is still in a half-dead state.

Eli had no doubts about the pure-blood family's greed for profit, even Voldemort's magical power could not change it.

There is no doubt that Voldemort is powerful. Without Dumbledore, there would be no wizards who could compete with him in today's wizarding world.

Of course he can threaten the pure blood family with death, but he won't really do it, he can humiliate them, he can threaten them, but he will never kill them at will.

Voldemort swept across the British Isles back then. In addition to his terrifying magical attainments, he also had the ability to have both sides. Many big families and magical races were persuaded by him to either help or remain neutral. Therefore, the Ministry of Magic, a collection of various forces, is in Vulnerable to him.

If he wants to control the magic world, he must rely on the power of the pure blood family and the magic race.

Those pure-blood families themselves are intriguing, and they can easily be defeated by Voldemort one by one.

But if Voldemort kills them at will, it will only quickly unite the life-saving pure-blood families. Their deep background alone is enough to protect themselves.

If they could be lured by benefits and keep these magical forces neutral, then Voldemort's threat would be much smaller, at least it would not make him a minority.

The Phoenix Potion Store has to continue, no matter whether it can achieve its goal in the end, at least give it a try.

During the period of suspension of business, the elves have been cultivating and accumulating potions in addition to helping to produce purification potions for werewolves.

When Mundungus was still there, Elito got a lot of wands, and he distributed them to the elves.

Although the Ministry of Magic stipulates that elves are not allowed to hold wands, as long as it is a piece of paper that Eli has not signed, it is shit in the toilet (please do not imitate, obey the law).

Are pure-blood families doing too many nasty things?I, Eli, also want to be dirty...cough cough...

The elves have passed down a lot of magic, and many of them have miraculous effects on ripening plants. The current stock of raw materials is enough for them to operate for a long time.

Eli trusts the elves enough to do things. He handed over the formula of the purification potion to them, and they are responsible for making it.

One message after another passed from Eli, and Klein led the elves to start the production of potions.

Lupine was also preparing for the opening of the Potions Shop.

This time, Eli will no longer use purely commercial competition, and must use some special means in combination with previous failure experience.

He has made contact with the werewolf Victor, and as the earliest ally, they should start to act.

Victor replied quickly, and he will discuss with Eli face to face in Hogsmeade on January [-]th.

Of course, Eli didn't hide all these actions from Dumbledore. Dumbledore's power has a great influence on whether things can be done.

Thinking of this, Eli stood up, and casually burned the letter in his hand. At this time, there was no one in the Slytherin lounge, and Eli walked out alone.

There is no moonlight in winter, and the castle is very dark under the light of flickering candles.

There are very few Muggle technology products in the wizarding world, and magic will have a lot of influence on these electronic technology products.

Especially in Hogwarts, a magical holy place with a long history, it is difficult to survive a night with electric lights.

All the way to the principal's office, Dumbledore's office was basically defenseless against Eli.

The door opened automatically, and Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, his long beard untied.

"Eli? Why didn't you go to rest? The snowball fight in the afternoon should have exhausted you young people too."

Eli didn't even think about how Dumbledore knew, as long as it was within the scope of Hogwarts, there was nothing Dumbledore didn't know.

Eli sat on the other side of the table, and a plate of black snail-like things was placed in front of Dumbledore.

"I'm here to ask you for help," Eli glanced at the strange thing on the plate.

Dumbledore pushed the plate towards Eli, "As a professor, it is also necessary to help students. Why don't you tell me? Try this, it's a good licorice candy."

"The potion shop is about to open again, but the problem of raw materials has not been completely resolved. You know, those guys before were merciless."

Eli picks and chooses among the dark plate of licorice candies, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, and Fawkes cooed softly.

"As far as I know, when it comes to potion materials, the Burke family is the biggest leader. Of course, there are some other families. They have always followed Burke's lead, and potion materials have always been decided by Burke."

"If you can't find a better source of material, it's really hard to get rid of their influence, but even in the whole of Europe, the Bock family is well-known."

"Is there no other source?" Eli always felt that Dumbledore would have some other way, and Dumbledore was always good at surprising people.

"Of course, there is always a way. Although I have stumbled a few times before, it is not without a way out." Dumbledore habitually gave up.

"any solution?"

Dumbledore looked at the candles beside him, "I have some old friends in the East, they should be able to help with this."

"East?"

"I heard that you know a lot about China. You should know that they have almost everything. They must be happy to do business here."

Eli was a little surprised. To be honest, since he entered the magic world, he had hardly heard any news about the Chinese magic world.

"Didn't you say that they are not in contact with the international wizarding community?"

Dumbledore smiled, and his half-moon glasses fell short on the bridge of his slightly curved nose.

"It's true that they have never been interested in some matters in the international wizarding world, but no one wants to lock themselves up at home all the time, right? There are Chinese wizards active all over the world, and they are always good at every job. , if I remember correctly, Miss Cho Chang's mother is a Chinese wizard who works in the Ministry of Magic"
