Chapter 96

The price of a book is about five gold galleons on average.

"His books are divided into adventure stories, so they are a little more expensive."

Vita had asked when she took the book.

Hogwarts textbooks are an important profit for the bookstore and need extra attention.

"Five gold galleons... not cheap!"

Argus is quite familiar with the price of Hogwarts textbooks. The price of a normal textbook should be two to three gold galleons, and the cheap ones, such as the "Beginner's Transfiguration Guide", only need one.

Most of these books can be used for a long time, and some can even be left to their younger brothers and sisters.

This is also the tradition of the Weasley family.

In comparison, Lockhart's books are obviously too expensive. One book costs five gold Galleons. There are eight books in total. Forty gold Galleons is almost equivalent to half a month's salary for an ordinary wizard.

"What is our profit?"

"Excluding Gilderoy Lockhart's share and various costs, the profit of one book is about two gold Galleons and five silver Sickles."

"Fifty-fifty split?"

"Yes, we are responsible for the production and sales of the books, and Lockhart is responsible for publicity."

Good guy, after all this time, I turned out to be the profiteer!

Without looking at the share, the cost is only two or three silver Sickles.

Then I turned around and sold it for five gold Galleons!

And Lockhart, no wonder he can still live so comfortably in St. Mungo's Hospital after losing his memory.

Selling books in the past few years, plus the Hogwarts textbooks, is enough to make him a lot of money.

"Aunt Vita, from today on, all Lockhart's books will be sold at a reduced price."

"If you buy a single book, it's four gold Galleons per copy, eight books together are twenty-five gold Galleons, and all Lockhart series are thirty gold Galleons."

"Get rid of Lockhart's books as quickly as possible!"

In the original book, even if Lockhart loses his memory in the future, the fact that he uses the amnesia spell to occupy other wizards' experiences has not been exposed.

But this does not mean that his books will be fine.

One year of teaching at Hogwarts is enough for many wizards to see his quality.

Why do you have to be stubborn when you can avoid losses in advance?

Vita didn't ask the reason, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid Lockhart won't agree."

"Don't worry about him, his share will continue to be the original five gold Galleons, and we will just make less money here."

"Okay, I'll arrange for them to do it now."

The same day, Saint's Bookstore issued a related notice.

It caused a sensation in Diagon Alley again!

There are only a few rich people in the wizarding world, and most of the students at Hogwarts come from ordinary families.

A set of Lockhart's textbooks is really not cheap.

Originally, they were prepared to tighten their belts, and Saint's Bookstore undoubtedly gave them a second choice.

"Mr. Grindelwald is indeed the conscience of pure-blood wizards! He will definitely become a great man like Dumbledore in the future! You should learn from Mr. Grindelwald in the future!"

"Fortunately, there is Mr. Grindelwald, otherwise, my child would have to buy second-hand textbooks this time."

"If only all stores could be as conscientious as the Saints Group!"

"Bah! They are not worthy of being compared with Mr. Grindelwald! Look at the group of vampires in other bookstores. When they saw the announcement of Hogwarts, they immediately raised the price! They are afraid that they can't take the opportunity to make a fortune!"

"That's right! Support Mr. Grindelwald! Support the Saints!"

"..."

Countless wizards are grateful to the Saints Group. Although some wizards are not well-off, they still grit their teeth and buy a new set of Lockhart textbooks for their children for this discount from Argus.

In just a few days, most of the Lockhart textbooks in the Saints Bookstore were sold.

And it has won a lot of reputation among British wizards.

...

The Burrow.

Harry, who had just been rescued by Ron and the Weasley twins, followed them into the house quietly.

The automatically washing spatula, the hanging clock made of the Weasley family portraits, and the peculiar house structure.

Everything was so amazing to him.

Ron casually took a piece of bread and put it in his mouth.

"Although it's a bit simple, it's a home after all."

Harry's eyes were full of excitement: "I think this place is great!"

Dongdongdongdong!

There was a burst of hurried footsteps on the stairs!

Mrs. Molly looked angry and slammed her hands on the table!

"You guys!"

"Die!"

"Where are you!"

The moment she saw Harry, the anger in her eyes instantly turned into the most gentle smile in the world.

"Oh, Harry, it's good to see you, dear!"

Turning around to see the three Weasleys, her expression became serious again.

"The bed is empty, and you didn't say anything!"

"And you drove away!"

"You might die, or be seen!"

As if she realized that her tone was not right, she turned to Harry and acted like a loving mother again.

"Of course, I'm not blaming you, dear Harry!"

The Weasley twins were dumbfounded.

Whose mother are you?

You change your face so quickly!

Ron's mouth was stuffed like a hamster, and he explained aggrievedly: "They wanted to starve him to death, Mom, and they sealed the windows."

"Be careful, I sealed your windows, Ron Weasley!"

"Come on, Harry, it's time for breakfast!"

Led by Mrs. Molly, several people came to the dining table together.

After a while, Arthur Weasley came to the dining table in formal clothes.

He kissed Mrs. Molly's cheek and sat at the head of the table.

In the original book, Harry and Arthur had never met before, and now, because Ron caused a big trouble last school year, the Weasley couple were called to Hogwarts.

Arthur had met Harry in advance, and asked briefly about the reason, and then he didn't bother about it anymore.

There was a cry of owls outside the window.

Mrs. Molly put down the kitchen utensils in her hand.

"It must be Errol who sent the letter."

Bang!

As soon as the voice fell, a huge owl hit the window directly.

Percy took the letter.

"It's a letter from Hogwarts, and they sent Harry's as well."

"Dumbledore must know you are here, he can do anything." As a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Arthur has an unconditional admiration for Dumbledore.

Percy just opened the letter, took a look, and handed it to the Weasley twins.

His brows couldn't help but tightened into a ball.

"No way, these things are not cheap!"

"Yes, the spell book alone is very expensive."

For the Weasley family, who rely on Arthur's salary to support the entire family, books worth dozens of gold galleons are indeed too expensive.

What's more, they need more than that!

Ginny is about to enter school, and her wand, wizard robes, etc. also need to be purchased.

Mrs. Molly took the letter and sighed slightly, but still smiled and comforted the children.

"Don't worry, children."

"Maybe we should go to Diagon Alley today!"
