Chapter 48 Dumbledore is tricked and cries

Dumbledore thought that Argus would open many shops, but in his mind, with the current assets of the Saints and the resources that can be mobilized at hand.

At most, there will be five or six shops.

After all, the prices of shops in Diagon Alley are very expensive, and the supply of goods needed for shop operation cannot be found in a short time.

But there are at least 20 or 30 shops in this densely packed shop in front of him?

Look carefully, there are also shops that are almost monopolized by pure-blood families, such as potions and magical animal materials!

This is simply digging up the ancestral graves of pure-blood families!

You don’t want me to help you solve the future troubles, you are forcing them to fight with me!

Dumbledore looked at Argus with complicated eyes.

Even with his strength and reputation, he couldn’t help but have a headache when he saw these shops.

It is true that he is the strongest wizard at present, but it does not mean that these pure-blood families will let him control them.

Especially when it touches their most fundamental interests!

Seeing Dumbledore’s face turn pale and blue, Argus’ smile became brighter.

"Headmaster, you are not going to regret it, are you?"

"You are the greatest white wizard of this century, you can't lie to me, a kid who just entered school!"

Dumbledore opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated for several times and didn't speak.

With a long sigh, he picked up the parchment and disappeared in front of Argus.

...

At the ceremony.

Arthur Weasley and Mrs. Molly were taking their little daughter Ginny around to visit.

"So many shops opened at the same time, and there are many big names."

"I really don't know who would be so generous."

Arthur looked at the bustling crowd and the dazzling array of goods around him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Look, that's Amelia Bones, the director of the Law Enforcement Department!"

"The one next to her is the head of the UK region of the Nimbus Company!"

"And that..."

"Fudge is here too!"

Mrs. Molly looked a little dissatisfied: "Okay, Arthur, we finally got out, don't talk about these disappointing things, let's go over there and look at the clothes."

"Ginny will be a big girl next year and will go to Hogwarts."

"We have to prepare some beautiful new clothes for her!"

As he said this, he took Ginny to squeeze in the direction of the clothing store.

Arthur followed him in a sullen manner.

The person with the highest status in the Weasley family is Mrs. Molly, who is in charge of all power.

Even he dared not disobey Mrs. Molly's orders.

Several people came to the clothing store, and there were crowds of people in front of them.

Many women looked at the exquisite clothes in front of them with surprise.

Ginny couldn't help but exclaimed, and stretched out her little hand to touch the clothes next to her.

"Mom, the clothes here are so beautiful!"

"The material feels so comfortable!"

A young witch nearby heard Ginny's words and came over to the group.

"Oh, sweetheart, you have a good eye!"

"This robe is the best-selling one in our store. It is not only beautiful, but also has heat preservation and stretch functions."

"It is most suitable for a beautiful girl like you."

Ginny's eyes were full of stars.

After all, she was just a ten-year-old girl.

She has a natural love and yearning for beautiful clothes.

"You...are you the manager of this store? Are all these clothes designed by you?"

"Although I really want to say yes, baby, I'm sorry, I'm just a shopping guide in this store. In addition to me, there are many people like me here." The young witch shook her head.

"But you are right about one thing, these clothes are designed by our boss himself."

"Merlin's beard is simply a genius idea. I really want to meet him if I have a chance."

"You haven't even met the boss?" Arthur interrupted in surprise.

"Not only me, but no one here seems to have seen it, but today is the opening ceremony, so he will surely come."

"Do you like it, baby? If you like it, let's buy one?" Mrs. Molly saw Ginny's desire and asked her in her ear.

Ginny hesitated and shook her head.

Children from poor families grow up early, and the same applies to the wizarding world.

She really likes this dress, but she can also see that it is very valuable.

Given the financial situation of the Weasley family, if they buy this dress, they will probably be in financial difficulties for a while.

"Please help me pack this dress, thank you."

A gentle male voice sounded behind her, and Ginny turned her head suddenly, facing Argus's sky blue eyes.

"Mr. Grindelwald, no, this will cost you too much!"

Arthur reacted the fastest and stopped Argus immediately.

Argus smiled and responded: "Just call me Argus."

"George and Fred have a good relationship with me at school. Percy also helped me a lot and lent me his notebook."

"Ginny is their sister, so she is also my sister."

"It's just a piece of clothing, not a valuable gift."

Argus waved his hand, motioning the young witch to pack the clothes.

Arthur wanted to say something else, but looking at his daughter's happy expression, he finally sighed.

Mrs. Molly didn't say anything, but she secretly decided in her heart that she would prepare more balls of yarn after returning and knit a few sweaters for Argus before Christmas.

"Ginny, did you forget to say something?"

Arthur reminded gently.

Ginny's pretty face flushed, and she looked at Argus and lowered her head shyly.

"Thank you, Argus!"

"Nothing."

Argus reached out his hand to touch Ginny's head, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be only one year older than her.

This kind of action is a little too intimate.

The palm of his hand froze in mid-air for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Ginny took the initiative to step forward, stood up on tiptoes, and rubbed Argus's hand.

Then he got into Mrs. Molly's arms, not daring to look up again.

Several people walked out of the clothing store and saw that the ceremony had begun and walked towards the ceremony stage.

With the topic provided by Yagus, the four of them chatted happily.

"By the way, Argus, I remember that the freshmen at Hogwarts can't leave school except during holidays, right?"

"Who are you……"

Arthur asked the question he'd always wanted to ask.

Mrs. Molly also realized this and looked at Yagus with questioning eyes.

"I have something to do today, so I asked Principal Dumbledore for leave in advance."

Yagus lied.

Mrs. Molly and the others did not doubt it.

In their minds, Yagus is a good boy.

He is excellent in studies, gentle and polite, and has the aristocratic temperament of pure blood, but he does not have their domineering temperament.

Sometimes Mrs. Molly even thought that if she had another child, it would be great if she could raise her like Yagus.

On the ceremony stage, as Fudge and other senior officials from the Ministry of Magic took the stage, the emotions in the venue gradually reached their peak.

The owner of the shop has not appeared for a long time, making everyone curious.

"This shop owner is really mysterious. He hasn't appeared yet."

"I wonder what kind of big shot he would be."

Arthur stared at Fudge on the high platform.

"Not necessarily, maybe I'm chatting with my friends!"

Arthur smiled slightly, thinking it was a child's joke and didn't care.

But the next second, the host's words on the stage made him unable to laugh anymore.

"Thank you for coming!"

"Next, please give me a warm round of applause and invite our shop owner, Mr. Argus Grindelwald, to appear!"
