Hogwarts: Start with Phoenix Bloodline

Time came to December, and Peter was a very popular figure in school during this period. After all, the two wizards he had captured before had results.

Not long ago, the Daily Prophet published that the dark wizard Greene was officially given the Dementor's Kiss. ​​Now he is just an empty shell without a soul!

As soon as the news that the same senior official of the Ministry of Magic, Coban Yaxley, was a member of the Death Eaters was announced, it caused an uproar in the wizarding world. Even though Yaxley had been arrested and thrown into Azkaban, it still failed to restore the credibility of the Ministry of Magic.

Due to pressure from all parties, Millicent Barnold, the female minister known for her tough style, will officially step down from her post at the end of December and will no longer serve as Minister of Magic.

Subsequently, more than a dozen candidates participated in the competition for the position of Minister of Magic, including the more famous Barty Crouch, and Cornelius Fudge, who had not a big advantage.

When Peter saw this news in the newspaper, he felt quite sorry for Millicent Barnold.

The position of minister in the magical world does not have a specific term like the Muggle world. Generally, if nothing goes wrong, it can last for a long time!

Millicent Barnold has been the Minister of Magic for less than ten years and is not too old, but she can only resign under pressure from all parties.

"Peter, which one of these people do you think could successfully run for a ministerial position?" Allen asked casually after seeing Peter reading the campaign information in the Daily Prophet, and then said with confidence,"I would say Barty Crouch has the biggest advantage. He is very tough and many people like him. style of doing things!"

"I think it can’t be him. If he could succeed in the election, he would have succeeded long ago!"Flora on the side said disapprovingly,"He was originally the director of the Legal Enforcement Department, but since he sent his son to Azkaban, the people no longer trust him, and he was also transferred to the International Magical Cooperation Department. Secretary, so the possibility of his election success is very small"

"Maybe it will be Cornelius Fudge!"Peter interrupted, his tone sounded like he was joking. But in fact, he knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the next Minister of Magic would be Fudge.

"Impossible, Fuji's reputation is not as great as the others, and he has no political achievements. He is too mediocre!"Alan shook his head and said, feeling that Peter was making random guesses.

"Perhaps what the current magic world needs is mediocrity like him!"Peter said meaningfully.

Then he saw a betting section in the Daily Prophet, which had corresponding odds for each candidate. Among them, Fudge's odds reached 5, which can be said to be the highest. It’s hard to imagine how he finally succeeded in the election?

"Is this wonderful event real? Will he not be given any money if he is selected later?"Peter asked curiously

"This is an event organized by the Daily Prophet in cooperation with the Ministry of Magic. It has been held before, so the credibility is still high. Allen explained, then looked at him in surprise,"What, do you want to place a bet?""

"It looks interesting. I want to invest some money and give it a try. Maybe I will win!"Peter said casually. He currently has one hundred thousand gold galleons lying in Gringotts. He is not short of money, but he doesn't mind making a little of this kind of money that comes to his door.

"Gambling is not a good habit, Peter!"Flora Shakur reminded him with a frown.

"I just invested a few hundred galleons to try. If I lose, I will only lose a few days of candy money, so don’t worry!"Peter said with a smile.

This damn rich man! The two swallowed enviously. Their monthly pocket money can be 1 galleons, which is already very good among all students.

In the magical world 1 Gold Galleons = 17 Silver Sickles, 1 Sickles = 29 Nats, that is, 1 Galleons = 493 Nats!

When Peter packed all the snacks on the train when he entered school, it only cost one gold. It’s about Galleons!

In the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade, the price of Butterbeer is 2 Silver Sickles.

A copy of the Daily Prophet costs 5 Knuts, and the price of the wand, the most important weapon of wizards, is Around 7 Galleons! You can see the price level in the wizarding world.

So Peter has 100,000 Galleons in Gringotts, which can be said to be a rich man!

You must know that the time is now 1989, and at this time in the distant In this large eastern country, the per capita salary level is only 161 yuan, which is less than 15 pounds when converted! That is 3 galleons!

Many pure-blood families do not have as much funds as Peter! Of course, the heritage of more than ten generations of pure-blood families is currently Peter is incomparable! Especially those magic books and magic props that cannot be measured in money, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Under the envious eyes of the two men, Peter took out a pile of gold from his animal skin pocket. Galleons, then counted out 200 gold Galleons and put it into another small bag. He wrote his name and address on a blank piece of parchment and placed the bet under Fudge's name, then borrowed Allen's owl , send the bag containing the Galleons and the betting envelope to the Daily Prophet

"Peter, why did you focus on Fudge alone? He has the highest odds, and even the Daily Prophet thinks his chances of winning are very slim! You can’t spend it like this even if you have money!"Alan was surprised to see Peter put all 200 galleons on Fudge, and said with a pity on his face. Obviously he thought Peter's money was wasted!

"It's okay, maybe I can still win, and then it will be 1,000 gold galleons! I had a dream last night that Fudge became a minister! This might be a prophetic dream!"Peter said jokingly with a smile.

"You don’t have the blood of a prophet, yet you still have prophetic dreams! You are kidding me!"Alan looked unbelieving.

"Dude, what were you doing? We heard the sound of gold Galleons clashing on the Gryffindor table!"The twins ran directly to Peter and sat down, putting their hands on his shoulders and asking with a smile.

"Peter said he dreamed last night that Fudge became a minister, so he spent 200 Galleons betting on whether he would win!"Alan explained that thanks to Peter's relationship, he was already familiar with the Weasley brothers, so they were not as distant as before.

"Merlin! Peter, did you really invest so much money?"The twins said in disbelief. The money was already an astronomical figure for them!

Ever since they listened to Peter's suggestion and went to Hogsmeade through the secret passage to buy snacks and prank props, etc., and brought them back to school to sell to their classmates, Wei The Sly brothers have made more than twenty Galleons!

This has made them very happy. They have never made so much money and decided to maintain this business. But now in front of these two hundred Galleons, it seems a bit... Not enough!

"Yes, just give it a try, it doesn’t matter whether you make money or not!"Peter said with a smile.

"You also think Peter is fooling around, right? He can’t spend money like this even if he has money!"Allen said to the twins. As Peter's roommate and friend, he felt that he had to give Peter some advice, in case he lost all his money one day!

Not to mention the twins' reactions, Alan White was a little overwhelmed. The two Weasley brothers looked at each other, and after silently communicating with their eyes, they said directly,"Then let's have some fun too! Just follow Peter and bet that Fudge will win!"

What? Allen was dumbfounded. Are these two crazy? They actually wanted to place bets with Peter!

Peter was also stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head in disapproval and said:"You guys don't want to play anymore, I You have this spare money, but you have worked hard to save it, so you can’t mess around with it!"
