Chapter 276 Helga’s way of generating income

After signing the contract, Dumbledore stood up, shook hands with Hufflepuff, and then quickly left Lupert's Dessert Shop.

Les leaned next to Helga and asked her with a smile: "How does it feel to be a Hogwarts professor?"

Hufflepuff smiled bitterly: As a result of this, he changed from the owner of the school to a wage earner. But it's already good, at least there's no need to sneak into the school like Salazar said.

Although she also has a place in the school, who would choose to sneak into the school if she can enter the school openly?

"By the way, is a salary of one hundred galleons a month too much or too little?" After Dumbledore left, Hufflepuff realized and wanted to ask Rice what level his salary was.

"It should be fine?" Les wasn't very clear about how much money ordinary wizards in the wizarding world could earn in a month - he had heard Fred and the others complain about their father, Arthur Weasley, who worked in the Ministry of Magic. With fifty galleons a month, Hufflepuff's salary of one hundred galleons a month plus fifty galleons of scientific research funding should be quite generous, right?

Of course, Rice couldn't help laughing when he saw the last item in the contract.

"Helga, you are selling your life for money."

"Superstition." Hufflepuff rolled her eyes in response: she didn't believe in the so-called "curse". The false gods of Northern Europe have been crushed to ashes by them, are they still afraid of this?

Hufflepuff was too lazy to continue chatting with Les. She had a very heavy task now, and she had to have a sufficient understanding of the modern magical world before the start of school.

"I'm going to the bookstore to buy some books -" At this point, Hufflepuff froze: she suddenly realized that she didn't have the currency used by modern wizards. When I just signed the contract with Dumbledore, I forgot to ask him to pay part of his salary in advance.

But luckily she still has Salazar, an old friend, to rely on.

Les gave Helga the books he had purchased before, and then told her that she could take the potion ingredients and other things on her body to a shop in Diagon Alley or Knockturn Alley to exchange for money. He made his first pot of gold in Knockturn Alley, where he met the Greengrass family.

Hufflepuff nodded, following the advice of her old friend. But her situation was much worse than Les's original situation, because she didn't carry many good things with her.

"Actually, you should change your thinking." Les coughed twice and gave Helga a wonderful idea.

"Did you know? Our 'relics' are quite popular in the modern magic world." Les winked at Helga: "All kinds of magic props, as long as they can be related to the four of us. Sold for sky-high prices.”

"For example, if you put a badger head on your wine glass, and then age it, it will become an extremely precious Hufflepuff relic."

Helga:! ! !

"Isn't this... not good?" She hesitated because it felt like a lie.

"What's wrong?" Les asked confusedly, "Are you Helga Hufflepuff herself?"

Hufflepuff nodded.

"Is this the wine glass you used?"

Hufflepuff nodded again.

"Then what kind of fake is this? This is a genuine treasure handed down from the founder of Hogwarts, Helga Hufflepuff!" Rice's words made Helga feel enlightened.

She no longer hesitated, picked up a wine glass and went to find the buyer.

Of course, the antique dealers in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley are not fools. A badger head alone cannot make them pay for real money. But it would be different if Helga's spell was attached to that cup.

After being prompted by Salazar, Helga completely opened her mind. She took out three exquisite gold wine glasses and tapped them with her wand. Soon, the three wine glasses changed one after another——

The first goblet had a relief of a badger and an eagle, and on the bottom of the goblet was written in Latin: [To my wise friend, Rowena Ravenclaw, in the hope that the sweet wine may accompany it. She falls asleep]

The relief on the second wine glass is a lion and a badger, and the Latin on the bottom of the glass is: [Given to my brave friend, Godric Gryffindor, in the hope that he can enjoy a mellow drink after a hearty battle. beer】

For the third goblet, Hufflepuff got a little fancy and carved a badger and a snake on it, as well as a Latin blessing. Then she removed the relief of the snake and the blessing.

With these three wine glasses, Hufflepuff chose an antique shop that he liked and walked in.

…

After parting ways with Hufflepuff, Les was not in a hurry to leave Rupert's dessert shop - he still had one important thing for Rupert to do.

After this summer vacation, he will be a third-year student at Hogwarts. At this point, he will also unlock access to Hogsmeade, provided he gets the signature of his "guardian".

Although sneaking into Hogsmeade is not a difficult task for Rice, as a lawful person, Rice respects the school rules very much and is willing to follow the rules.

So Les wanted to get a guardian's signature, and according to the persona he set for himself, Lupet was his guardian, so he found Lupet.

Lupert naturally had no objection to this, as long as Rice didn't feel it was a loss of status.

A few minutes later, Les left Lupert's Dessert Shop with a signed form and a large bag of desserts. Now, he's heading to Greengrass Manor to dispose of a little tail he left there.

After returning to Greengrass Manor, Les went straight to the room where Scabbers was.

The sound of Les opening the door startled Scabbers. Its eyes suddenly widened, and the whole mouse trembled with excitement: Someone is here. He has been locked up in this small room alone these days, and he is going crazy!

Les opened the cage door and lifted Banban out of the small cage.

Banban, who had regained his "freedom", was so excited that he almost shed tears: This cage is too small, and being locked in it is simply torture!

It tried its best to put on a cute look, hoping to win the love of the little wizard in front of it and be taken around like it was in the Weasley family - it really didn't want to be put in a cage anymore.

However, contrary to expectations, in the eyes of Les, who saw through its identity, Banban's behavior was not cute at all, but rather terrifying: Think about it, a grown man trying to be cute in front of you...

Les grabbed the back of Spot's neck, lifted it up, and stared directly into its small black eyes.

Banban couldn't help but shuddered: This little wizard's eyes were as cold as a pool of late autumn pond water...
