Over the next period of time, Locke began to learn various more powerful spells he received from Dumbledore, many of which were knowledge about spells that ordinary wizards could not access.

The private collection of books that Dumbledore gave Locke contained very high-end magical knowledge that was not widely circulated, and they were all dangerous spells that were unusually difficult to learn.

There is also a lot of high-end alchemical knowledge in these books, and there are even works by Nicolés Flamel, which made Locke gain a lot.

At the same time, Locke also had the opportunity to better build relationships with most of the professors in the college and ask them for advice on various magic issues.

Time passed quickly. At the end-of-term dinner, Dumbledore showed obvious favoritism as in the original plot, and used various methods to add a lot of college points to the three protagonists.

Because the favoritism was too strong, everyone felt uncomfortable, but Dumbledore seemed calm and composed. With his reputation, he could still withstand this pressure.

Locke knew that he wanted to use this method to enhance Harry Potter's self-confidence, and at the same time better guide him to identify with the academy. As for the effect, it depends on everyone's opinion.

Because of this obvious favoritism, Slytherin, who was originally ranked first in the house ranking, was pushed down. The red lion flag of Gryffindor House will be hung in the auditorium for the next whole year.

Snape didn't react for a moment because Dumbledore had not greeted him beforehand.

In any case, such behavior also produced some negative effects, that is, Harry became a thorn in the eyes of many people.

Fortunately, the overall atmosphere of Slytherin House tends to be arrogant and strong. Many members look down upon students from other houses and are relatively hateful. They have attracted great hatred from the other three houses before.

So most students in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff couldn't help but celebrate in the end, because they finally saw the hated Slytherin house terminated its continued reign of the House Cup.

When the semester ended, in addition to learning magic, Locke also contacted several people through Dumbledore.

"Mr. Scamander, this is the first time we meet. I am Rock Lee. It is a bit presumptuous to contact you through Principal Dumbledore this time..."

Locke couldn't help but frown in the middle of his words. Why did he feel that there was something wrong with Newt Scamander? He kept staring at him and didn't reply when they first met.

"Mr. Scamander?" Locke reminded him, and then Scamander came back to his senses and said, "Sorry, I'm often a little dazed as I get older."

"How is that possible? I see that Mr. Scamander is still in good spirits." Locke greeted the other party with a few words of courtesy, and then he was led to the living room, where there were prepared refreshments.

After sitting down, Scamander said: "I heard Dumbledore say that you came to me because you have ideas about the magic materials produced at the Romanian Dragon Training Farm?"

"That's right." Locke smiled and said: "I have a magic store and a magic material store in Diagon Alley. Sometimes there are delays due to material problems, so I want to cooperate directly with the source."

Locke did not hide his purpose, which could not be hidden in the first place. Of course, he said he just wanted to cooperate, but in fact he wanted to monopolize the relevant materials, mainly to keep them for himself.

There are still mountains of gold in his dimensional space, so Galleons are really nothing to him. This time, he used Dumbledore's relationship just to have a chance to invest in the dragon training farm, and even have a chance. Get some dragons and raise them yourself.

"So that's it. Are you planning to cooperate with the dragon training farm?"

"Yes, if possible, I would like to contract all the materials produced at the dragon training farm. I hope Mr. Scamander can be the middleman."

"The production of materials at the dragon training farm is a big business." Scamander said thoughtfully: "It's not that easy for you to contract it by yourself."

Locke said: "I have confirmed some situations before. Taming a dragon is not an easy task. It consumes a lot of money. At the same time, accidents happen from time to time, and the cost is very high.

The support provided by the Ministry of Magic to the dragon training farm is very limited and is not enough to support the operation of the dragon training farm, so it relies on selling materials to subsidize the expenses of the dragon training farm.

If it succeeds, the price is not an issue. I am even willing to increase the current acquisition price by 30%. As long as it succeeds, I am also willing to give you an agency fee, Mr. Scamander. I believe that with this money, You can use it to do any number of things you want to accomplish. "

"Thirty percent?! Is this a big expense?" Scamander was slightly surprised: "If you are really willing to offer such a price, I think Bill will definitely be willing."

The dragon training farm is not so easy to manage. It not only needs to prevent the fire dragon from running wild, but also faces poaching by some dark wizards. Moreover, because the salary of the employees cannot be very high, the manpower has even been very tight for a long time. If Locke really If the purchase price is increased, most of the problems for the dragon training farm can be solved.

Having said this, Scamander said to Locke again: "But are you going to do a loss-making business?"

"Actually, in addition to the material business, I personally also have a lot of magic experiments to do, which may be consumed. For me, making money is a secondary issue. The key is to ensure that magic experiments cannot be carried out due to lack of materials."

"I understand. If that's the case, I think Bill will be happy to agree to your request... Well, then I'll accompany you. Just wait a moment. I'll find an acquaintance to apply for the international floo network first. "

"Thank you very much, Mr. Scamander." Locke said with a smile.

While Scamander contacted someone and waited for the news, Locke detailed the amount of the agency fee. Even though Scamander was not very interested in money, he was extremely moved after hearing this, and his mobility increased a bit. .

The two went to Romania's Dragon Training Farm extremely smoothly. Although they met the Auror responsible for inspection when entering the country, the other party only made routine inquiries and warned them before letting them pass.

Next, with Scamander's enthusiastic help, Locke met Gates, the current manager of the dragon training farm. The contract price offered by Locke was much higher than that of selling the materials themselves, so Gates thought about it and quickly agreed. Quickly agreed to Locke's conditions.

The price given by Locke can greatly improve various problems encountered in the operation of dragon training farms. With sufficient funds, higher wages can be given to dragon trainers, and more necessary magic items can be prepared at the same time. , dealing with poaching dark wizards.

After reaching the cooperation, Locke had a private chat with Gates, and even received some preferential treatment to help deal with those "irritable and hurtful" dragons.

In this regard, Locke can only say that no wizard can resist the golden galleons. If he can, then it must not be enough.
