Chapter 844: "Guide to Defense"

"Good morning Sirius, where did you go?" Lupin poked his head out of the kitchen, looking at Sirius who had just entered the tent, and asked questioningly, "Why do you look unhappy?"

"I just went to Ludo Bagman, and that guy only paid half of the Gallon last night." Sirius didn't have the slightest affection for Bagman, who was trying to go wrong.

"When did you bet?" Lupin looked at Sirius in shock. He didn't expect his old friend to be gambling secretly. This is not a good thing.

"I thought you would care more about how much I won." Sirius pulled a chair and sat down, putting his legs on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Well, how much did you win?" Lupin asked helplessly.

"Probably... a thousand gallons." Sirius said.

"How much?" Lupin's eyes widened in disbelief.

"A thousand gallons," Sirius repeated in shock.

"Don't bet, just accept it when you see it!" Lupin didn't care about the black smoke that was slowly floating in the pot, and tried to persuade Sirius. He really couldn't understand why his old friend took the risk of gambling. What if he lost a thousand gallons. How many gallons would he bet on?

"Bagman didn't have enough Gallon to pay me, so he suggested that I continue to bet." Sirius glanced at Lupin, whose face was slightly gloomy, and said casually: "I have agreed. Anyway, those Gallons are all It doesn’t matter if I lose everything I earn, let alone I won’t necessarily lose.”

Lupin was silent. He also knew that he was not qualified to preach to Sirius, and finally said: "Don't be too greedy, just accept it when you see it." Then he turned back to the kitchen and continued to make breakfast.

"If I lose, I will lose? No, I won't lose."

There was a weird smile on Sirius's face. He didn't think he would lose, and the money was not all his money. Half of it belonged to Albert.

In fact, Sirius doesn't like gambling, but he met Albert yesterday, and the two reached a certain agreement in private. The good name is: everyone who has money makes money together.

Well, they did make a lot of money, and the hapless Bagman lost a lot of Gallons.

However, Sirius did not sympathize with Bagman.

If it weren't for Ludo Bagman to try to induce him to bet, Sirius would not necessarily agree to Albert.

Well, this is a lame excuse. From Sirius's point of view, why doesn't Kanon, who has made a steady profit, doesn't make it?

Not an idiot.

Moreover, according to Albert's tone, Ludo Bagman is unreliable, otherwise Albert would not require him to recover at least half of Gallon after winning the bet.

"Good morning, Sirius." Harry appeared in the dining room clutching his yawn, smelling the burning smell in the air, and said in surprise: "It's rare to see Professor Lupin burn the rice. By the way, you were there just now. What to talk about."

"It's nothing Harry." Sirius didn't want Harry to get into the gambling habit, and turned off the subject and said, "Lupin and I have already planned to run a Defense Against the Dark Arts magazine called "The Defense Guide."

After preliminary discussions with Lupin, Sirius intends to accept Albert's proposal to start a magazine related to defense against the dark arts.

Considering that Lupin once served as a professor of defense against the dark arts at Hogwarts, he has a natural advantage in the field of defense against the dark arts. Sirius has also been fighting dark wizards for most of his life, and he is considered a relatively good profession. NS.

Working in a field that is good at and likes makes it easier for people to keep enthusiasm, put in more energy, and be more likely to succeed.

Of course, it is not easy to open a magazine store. Lupin and Sirius have no experience in this area. Who will be the editor-in-chief?

If you open a store rashly and enter areas you don't know about, you are likely to stumble, and it is not surprising that you will even lose a lot of money.

"Are there any magazines like Witch Weekly and Transfiguration Today?" Hermione asked Sirius curiously.

"Well, if there are only two of us, it will take about half a month." Sirius nodded. "There will be some content related to the defense against the dark magic. In this regard, Remus should be better at it. He used to be black. Professor of Magical Defense, and I can also help him find a way."

Harry and Hermione looked at each other.

To be honest, they are not very optimistic about Sirius opening magazines and newspapers, let alone becoming editor-in-chief.

"What does Professor Lupin think?" Hermione asked Professor Lupin, who was busy in the kitchen.

"I think the probability of losing money is relatively high. Knowing Defence Against the Dark Arts and launching Defence Against the Dark Arts magazines are two different things." Lupin is not as optimistic as Sirius. They do not have rich management experience and are likely to mess things up.

"Speaking of opening a store, I still admire Albert. He started paying for Fred and George to open a store very early on." Ron sat next to Harry with a yawn, "From the beginning to the present. I don’t know how many Gallons have already invested in it, and I think their shop will sell well."

"Perhaps, he has already fortune-telling." Harry said without hesitation, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "Sirius, if you want to open a shop, you can go to Albert for divination."

"Harry, there are limits to divination," Hermione disagreed with Harry's view.

"Are you really planning to open a weekly magazine?" Lupin brought the food from the kitchen and asked, looking at Black who was thinking seriously.

"Kanon won, even if he loses in the end, I don't feel distressed."

This is actually one of the reasons Sirius agreed to help Albert. He needs to find an excuse to persuade Remus to help start a miscellaneous weekly observation.

Otherwise, he will never agree, and a windfall is the best excuse to be speechless.

"Losing money? I think you can ask Albert for help. As long as the price is right, he will definitely provide help." Ron suggested.

According to him, Fred and George have very clear ideas and plans for opening a store, and most of these are Albert's points. Moreover, Albert writes articles to magazines brilliantly, and he clearly knows better than them how to summarize the contents of a magazine. If Albert can provide them with many constructive suggestions.

However, how to persuade Albert to help is actually more difficult. If you want Albert to contribute, he must naturally give the other party enough benefits. However, Garon Albert obviously won't see it, so what should he use to convince him?

Finally, Ron’s remarks woke up Sirius. His own industry is naturally different from others’ industries. If Sirius can get Albert into the partnership, the other party will naturally not just watch the shops move across the shops. A hand of them.

And Sirius's purpose is just to find a job for Lupin, as long as he doesn't lose money, Sirius can accept it.
