"If you don't know how to choose, then Diagon Alley!"

There is no other way. There are only so many wizards in Great Britain. It is just a small society. It is quite convenient for wizards to travel to each other. Whether it is Apparition or using Floo powder in the fireplace, it can be said that they can reach their destination in an instant.

In this case, opening two stores is a complete waste.

Even if it is a store jointly owned by Ethan and the Walley family, the things sold in it can be said to be unique in the wizarding world, but there is only one store in Great Britain.

Compared to the wizard village of Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley is a commercial street with a larger flow of people. It is just that Hogsmeade is backed by Hogwarts, which has a certain geographical advantage.

Not to mention, every year, students of Hogwarts have to go to Diagon Alley once, which is only the minimum. In fact, many young wizards often go to Diagon Alley during holidays.

In summary, Diagon Alley has more advantages.

Moreover, Fred and George can only make some prank products, such as the quick-acting skipping candy series, automatic inkjet quill pen, and boxing telescope.

But in the original book, they also have alchemical products such as anti-curse gloves. Unlike prank products, this is a serious protective magic prop. The effect is that when someone wants to cast a curse on you, stare at his eyes and the curse will be rebounded. The Ministry of Magic has purchased a lot of them in their store.

As their horizons continue to expand, Fred and George will not only focus on prank products. Products such as anti-curse gloves will only increase.

Considering this aspect, Diagon Alley is much more suitable than Hogsmeade Village.

Faced with this answer, Fred took a sip of whiskey and confirmed it without hesitation:

"Okay, then Diagon Alley."

Seeing Fred confirm it so readily, Ethan wondered if he meant that Hogsmeade Village also had the same effect.

"By the way, I have another suggestion for you."

"You can add some students as your friends and let them be your middlemen. Give them some benefits. Even after you graduate, you won't have to worry about not finding people."

"The middlemen will directly pass the information to you. Finally, you only need to use owls to ship after receiving the message."

In fact, all the shops in Hogsmeade are like this now, but there is no middleman. If you need anything, you can directly let the owls send the message, give the gold galleons to the owls, and then they can bring the goods back.

As for Diagon Alley, due to the distance, the round-trip time is much longer than Hogsmeade.

But as long as Fred and his products are popular enough, they have agents in Hogwarts, and they have small promotional activities from time to time, they can definitely grab the delivery business.

The only thing to worry about is that many prank products are banned in Hogwarts.Especially Filch.

As their agent, he will definitely be targeted by Filch. It is hard to say whether he can withstand the pressure at that time. After all, not everyone is the twins.

"We will prepare when we get back!"

Fred and George looked at each other and said excitedly.

A long time ago, Fred and George would resell some of these things, all of which were purchased at Zonko's joke shop, just making a small profit, usually a few copper knuts.

If it is expensive, they might as well use owls to visit the joke shop and buy it themselves.

The little money they made was basically used by them to develop their own products.

But after cooperating with Ethan, they made much more than the difference.

After having enough funds and researching their own products, they stopped this unlucky behavior of reselling and specialized in selling their own products.

Now we can pass on this glorious act. After all, except for the two brothers, no one else in Hogwarts can research these products even if they are interested. They can only buy them outside.

This kind of product is still very popular in Gryffindor, otherwise the two of them would not be able to earn the initial capital to develop products through this business.

Those rich pure-blood nobles look down on it, but some half-bloods and Muggle wizards, I believe they don’t mind making this money.

After contacting the candidates, you only need to prepare a few more owls. Anyway, they only consume two handfuls of nuts and a handful of dried meat for hundreds of kilometers!

The more the two brothers thought about it, the more they felt that this model was feasible.

"By the way, you said before that it would be great if you were in our grade. What does that mean?"

Ethan still remembered this. When they met just now, they were talking about themselves.

"It's Umbridge again. Forget it, she's a bummer!"

George raised his glass and said unhappily.

Because of Ethan, Umbridge was a little restrained when teaching the fifth grade.

But the other grades were getting more and more excessive, especially after she saw that Dumbledore seemed to be deliberately indulging her.

This made the days of the other grades quite difficult.

Among them, the Gryffindor students of each grade were the focus of Umbridge's attention.

Who made Umbridge and Fudge believe that many young wizards in Hogwarts, especially those in Gryffindor College, were the secret army trained by Dumbledore, that is, the reserve of the Order of the Phoenix.

Next, they casually talked about the recent topics of Hogwarts. After finishing three bottles of 700 ml of whiskey and Ethan's stock was gone, they left the Hog's Head.

When they were brought to the street, a breeze blew outside. Fred, George, and Lee Jordan immediately staggered to the wall and vomited.

Ethan's face did not change.

Although Ethan rarely drinks, he doesn't know his limit in terms of alcohol tolerance.

The specific reason should be related to the magic blood of the fire dragon version, and then it was sublimated again.

In this wizard world, after the fire dragon cubs hatch, they are usually fed with brandy and chicken blood.

It can be said that the fire dragon drinks wine as milk. What do you think of the alcohol tolerance of such a creature?

Now Ethan is in this situation. The alcohol is basically decomposed directly after entering the stomach, and there is no possibility of getting drunk.

After several people vomited, Ethan turned around and entered the Pig's Head Bar and asked for three alcohol decomposition drugs.

Otherwise, if they were sent back like this, they would definitely be punished.

After dealing with them, Ethan also found Cassandra and her group according to the wizard's mailbox, and did not stop until it was time to return to school.

On the second day in Hogsmeade, everyone was back to their sickly state.

After playing all day yesterday, they had to rush their homework today. Little wizards could be seen rushing their homework everywhere, in the common room, the auditorium, and under the big tree by the lake.

Two days of rest passed quickly, and another round of high-pressure courses began on Monday.

In the morning, the owl delivered the package as usual.

After Ethan took it, he didn't have time to look through it.

But there were bursts of exclamations from Gryffindor.

Terry on the side couldn't sit still. After finishing his breakfast in a few bites, he hurried over.

How could he be missing from such a lively scene?

Soon the whole auditorium was lively, and many little wizards looked up at the pink figure on the head of the faculty desk.

Unlike the time before when she was too ashamed to show her face, Umbridge now sat at the long table of faculty and staff with a proud look on her face.

Ethan had just finished breakfast, and Terry, who had run to the Gryffindor table to eat melon, also came back.

"Ethan, you can't guess what happened?"

Terry looked at Ethan and the others mysteriously.

"Is it related to Umbridge?"

You only need to look at the reactions of the people in the hall to know what the source of the commotion just now was.

Terry lost interest in an instant. Talking to someone who is too smart is a bummer, and he doesn't know how to respond at all.

"It's boring, just read the newspaper!"

Hearing this, Ethan opened the Daily Prophet directly. What happened that Umbridge was in the newspaper?

No wonder she was so proud.

As a result, when he opened the newspaper, the first thing he saw was a large photo of Umbridge, who was smiling and winking at Ethan.

Caught off guard, Ethan almost vomited out the breakfast he had just eaten.

After all, early in the morning, just after breakfast, a greasy middle-aged fat woman winked at you, how could you bear it?

Ethan was not prepared at all, although he knew it long ago.In the wizarding world, the people in the photos are the kind that move, but who would have thought that Umbridge would be on the front page?

I thought there was just a report about her.

"Why didn't you remind me?"

Ethan seriously suspected that Terry did it on purpose.

"Don't you know it's about Umbridge?"

Terry's face remained unchanged, and he said as a matter of course.

You know who it's about, do you need me to remind you?

Terry's tone revealed this meaning.

For this dumb loss, Ethan could only swallow it himself.

Continue to look at the newspaper, I saw a few bold headlines on it:

Ministry of Magic Seeks Education Reform

Dolores Umbridge Appointed First Senior Inquisitor

This position finally appeared.

A few days ago, Ethan saw in the newspaper that Fudge was trying to do something when he saw that the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was a werewolf Remus Lupin, the professor of Care of Magical Creatures was half-half half-giant Rubeus Hagrid, and the Death Eater disguised as former Auror Mad-Eye Moody lurking in Hogwarts for a year without being discovered.

But he didn't expect that Umbridge would be put on the stage as in the original book. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

These things had a great impact on Dumbledore.

Hagrid, a half-giant, was born to be discriminated against, not to mention that Hagrid didn't even graduate from Hogwarts. Some wizard parents had already had opinions on this, especially those pure-blood nobles.

Although Professor Flitwick is also a half-blood, he had already made a name for himself before he became the professor of Charms.

The champion of the dueling competition, this title is quite famous.

Those parents naturally won't say much, but Hagrid has nothing but black spots on his body.

As for the werewolf, this is unacceptable.

Whether it is transformed or not, once scratched or bitten by a werewolf, there will be irreversible and bad consequences.

As a result, werewolves can't find jobs in the wizarding world.

No one is willing to hire a werewolf, but Dumbledore dares to let him go to Hogwarts as a professor and come into contact with underage wizards who are relatively low in strength and vigilance. Not many parents can accept this.

Or, if Lupin had exposed his werewolf identity, he would not have been able to go to school in Hogwarts.

As for Fudge knowing Lupin's werewolf identity, Ethan was not surprised. After all, Lupin followed the rules and went to the Werewolf Office. Ordinary wizards did not have the authority to know, but as the Minister of Magic, it was definitely not in this category.

Finally, Barty Crouch Jr. disguised himself as Moody and taught at Hogwarts for a year. This was a black mark that Dumbledore could not wash away.

When these three knives appeared, they appeared in the newspapers at the time. AlbusDumbledore is no longer able to take on the responsibility of managing the famous school Hogwarts.

Looking down, in addition to some nonsense, you also emphasized that Umbridge will have the right to review the rights of her faculty colleagues.

No wonder everyone reacted like this. []

Umbridge is already annoying enough, and now with such power, who knows what she will do.

Ethan even foresaw that the day when Umbridge's so-called education order was issued would be a real disaster.

Is this what Dumbledore wants?

Thinking of this, Ethan looked at the head of the faculty table. Dumbledore was still his usual appearance, and he didn't seem to mind the criticism of him in the newspapers and the power Umbridge had obtained.

"Ethan, what have you been doing recently..."

"What do you think Dumbledore said when he asked me to go to the principal's office that day?"

Ethan interrupted Michael's words and put the blame on Dumbledore. Besides, the blame was originally Dumbledore's, so he should bear it.

Since Ethan had received the benefits, he would not reveal what Dumbledore said that day, but what they think is not up to Ethan, right!

The Ravenclaw classmates around him were silent. Everyone knew that on that day, Ethan was notified by Professor McGonagall to go to the principal's office.

Sure enough, there was nothing good about going to the principal's office.

It's just that why Ethan was so bad in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class later, and he didn't find fault with Umbridge at all.

Looking at their expressions, Ethan knew that they must have imagined a lot.

Immediately, without saying anything more, he put away the newspaper and prepared to go to class.

Today is Monday, and Professor Spencer will have a hypnosis class later.

I just wonder if Umbridge will use her power to review other professors now.

However, reviewing Professor Spencer, a ghost, won't have much effect!

As a ghost, he doesn't seem to need such a job, or he is still a professor now, which is a kind of oppression from Hogwarts. After all, he doesn't need to be paid a ghost salary. .
