He's still a child, what's wrong with him eating a little more?!

Chapter 28 He's still a child, what's wrong with him eating a little more?!

When the deep blue notification sounded, Charles couldn't contain his ecstatic joy.

Immediately, to further verify this, Shire opened Snape's paper on the wolfsbane potion.

A moment later, the deep blue notification sounded again.

"Obtaining materials related to werewolf transformation will significantly reduce the deduction points required for the host to deduce werewolf-related knowledge."

"Obtaining werewolf blood or live samples can further reduce the deduction points."

Next came "Transfiguration from Beginner to End," a similar prompt that allowed Sharl to save a lot of points when deriving many beginner and intermediate Transfiguration spells!

At this moment, Charles couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"It's done!"

"I fucking did it!"

He glanced around at the rarely visited magic books and papers in Flourish and Blotts.

These books, which other wizards find long, tedious, and difficult to understand, are invaluable treasures to Sharl, saving him countless deduction points!

Another idea came to Charles's mind.

"The books at Flourish and Blotts are, after all, geared towards the general public."

"Apart from those few publicly published famous papers, it is far from being the most advanced and precious magical knowledge."

"This kind of top-level magical knowledge is either in the restricted section of Hogwarts or in the family collections of various pure-blood nobles."

"If there's an opportunity in the future, we can try to make some money in this area."

Then, Charles called over the bookstore clerk.

"Pack up all these books and papers and send them to the second floor of the Leaky Cauldron."

The bookstore clerk stared in astonishment at the dozen or so bookshelves piled up to the ceiling.

Is this how you buy books?

Buying more than a dozen bookshelves at once?!

After a moment, the bookstore clerk said with a hesitant look.

"Sending these books to the Leaky Cauldron is no problem, but sir, these books are quite valuable."

Charles certainly knew this.

Books from the magical world, like those from the capitalist world, are incredibly expensive.

A large portion of the cost of students enrolling each year is actually spent on textbooks. To save on textbook costs, many students from impoverished families choose to buy second-hand books.

If textbooks are like this, then the books in the area that Charles chose are all quite advanced, making them even more expensive.

The total number is no small amount.

But what does this have to do with Charles? It's not like he's paying the bill; the kind-hearted Minister Fudge will reimburse him!

After all, Minister Fudge signed a permanent agreement with Ciel, reimbursing all of Ciel's food and drink expenses in the wizarding world.

Books are nourishment for the mind, so it's reasonable to use this reimbursement limit, right?

If all else fails, Ciel can easily perform a book-eating act.

Immediately, Charles waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Put it on the Ministry of Magic's books, and Minister Fudge will reimburse you."

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant's previously worried and doubtful expression instantly turned into surprise and respect.

It seems this little wizard has a lot to do with Minister Fudge, that he can get the Minister of Magic to reimburse him?

Immediately, he patted his chest and said that he would pack up the books and papers that Charles mentioned right away, and even secretly offered to include a box with a seamless stretching spell as a bonus.

Although this thing is illegal on the surface, what can you do when Ciel has connections with the Minister of Magic?

The issue of illegality is addressed to commoners; for nobles and officials, how could their homes be without illegal items?

Charles readily accepted this offer.

After leaving Flourish and Blotts, Ciel immediately began a shopping spree in Diagon Alley.

After all, we have a lot of materials that reduce the consumption of deduction points, but this is cost-saving. We still need to increase our resources and get more deduction points.

As a result, Ciel swept through all the magical item shops on the street.

It wasn't until evening that Charles returned to his room at the Leaky Cauldron, completely satisfied.

At this moment, even his room, which had been enchanted with the Traceless Stretch Spell, was almost completely filled with twenty or thirty large boxes, all of which were goods delivered by various stores!

A burning light appeared in Charles's eyes.

Although the magic power in these magical items is far inferior to that of the broken wand, such a large quantity should still be enough to increase my deduction points again.

In addition, with all the materials obtained from Flourish and Blotts, the deduction points for most common spells can be reduced significantly.

Once you've digested all of this, your strength will definitely increase significantly!

"I have to thank Minister Fouché; if he hadn't been so generous, how could I have afforded so much stuff?"

"I really hope Minister Fouché stays in office for a long time; I really hope he doesn't get ousted!"

……

Meanwhile, in the Minister of Magic's office.

Fudge was reading today's Daily Prophet, which was full of praise for the Ministry of Magic's handling of the Dark Seid incident.

"Providing lifetime food reimbursement for abused young wizards is one of the few things Minister Fudge has done since taking office!"

Fudge smiled at this assessment, his eyes revealing ambition.

He knew, of course, that he had a bad reputation in the wizarding world, but wasn't this just the beginning of turning things around?

"From this moment forward, I will climb step by step to the very top, and I will become the greatest Minister for Magic in the history of the wizarding world!"

Fudge now recalls the deal he struck with Charles at St. Mungo's Hospital, his mind filled with admiration for his own genius.

"Genius? I'm a political genius!"

What does "achieving great things with little money" mean?

"A huge profit! A huge profit!"

Just then, Fudge's aide rushed into the Minister of Magic's office, carrying a thick stack of letters.

"Oh no, Minister, something terrible has happened!"

Upon hearing this, Fudge's face instantly darkened.

"What's with the panic? What serious incident has happened?"

The aide, his hands trembling, placed the stack of letters on the table and stammered.

"The bills, all of Ciel's expense reports!"

Upon hearing this, Fookie, who had been on high alert, breathed a sigh of relief and gave his staff a disgruntled look.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered over a bill? I thought something serious had happened!"

"Let me guess, is it because Ciel has an unusually large number of expense reports this time?"

The staff nodded repeatedly, and he was immediately scolded by Fudge.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but it's the start of the school year, and a Muggle-born wizard like Shire went to Diagon Alley. All sorts of delicious food came into view. He's a kid, isn't it normal for him to eat and buy a lot?"

"Besides, I already saw it at St. Mungo's Hospital. This kid is simply the chosen Hufflepuff; he does have a rather large appetite."

"It's perfectly normal to indulge a little and buy more food at this time."

"The child is growing rapidly, what's the big deal about eating a little more? Is it really worth all this panic?"

"He's not going to bankrupt the Ministry of Magic, is he?!"

"You need to have a broad perspective, understand? A broad perspective!"

The staff member, looking ashamed after being reprimanded, nodded in agreement.

After Fudge had had his fill of scolding people, his aide cautiously said.

"So, I'll reimburse the Cisalpine bill of 6,237 Galleons this time?"

Fudge nodded calmly.

"Over six hundred Galleons? That's a bit much, but it's understandable."

"Reimburse me, so you don't need to bother me with these little things anymore..."

A moment later, just as his staff was about to turn and leave, Fudge suddenly realized what was happening, his expression froze instantly, and he let out an incredulous roar.

"Wait a minute?"

"How much did you say?"

"How the hell is this bill?!"
