Regulus Black arranged for Quirinus Quirrell to be the butler of his Scarlet Manor and be responsible for the marketing of future jewelry, so as to draw him into his family.
This kind of arrangement can not only keep in touch with the wizarding world, but also gain access to the upper echelons of the Muggle world, and can also be responsible for a very important asset marketing matter.
Nothing could make Quirrell's heart beat more than this. Of course, it was also a reason not to let him go out and take risks, so as to avoid being targeted by some Death Eaters.
"Are you saying that these gems are actually the product of alchemy, and are you planning to make a fortune in the Muggle world?"
Quirrell used to be a professor of Muggle Studies, and he has a deep understanding of human history. Among the crimes committed by humans, there are many types of deception, abduction, and theft. Speaking of Regulus Black's plan to sell fake gems, Quirrell I just think it's funny.
And he didn't think that such a thing could be done for a long time, so he thought that this was just Regulus Black's temporary interest.
Make a lot of money. Wizards often do this kind of thing. Don’t laugh at the boss. Before the wizarding world became a system, in order to get the magic potions, materials, wealth and even the population that they wanted, they cheated, kidnapped and stole. Did the same.
During the darkest period in Europe, it was also a period when dark wizards were rampant. In order to avoid assassinations and thefts, lords from all over the world would rather live in uncomfortable castles. Even so, there were still rumors about evil witches and evil wizards.
It was also during the witch hunts in the human Muggle world that the wizarding world realized the madness and determination of the Muggles. Although no wizards were harmed, the Muggles used the method of "I will kill myself if I go crazy." Put an end to the rampant behavior of dark wizards.
In the Middle Ages, a large-scale witch hunt broke out, which was equivalent to the Muggle Wizarding War. Among them, some young wizards were executed because they could not control their magic power. This shocked the wizarding world.
In 1692, the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy came into effect, which led to government reforms in the British wizarding community, such as the establishment of a new Ministry of Magic with strong enforcement capabilities from the original loose Wizards' Parliament.
The International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy is one of the important cornerstones of HP's worldview. It artificially separates the world into the magical world and the Muggle world. The magical world recognizes the existence of the Muggle world and does not actively interfere. The Muggle world knows almost nothing about the magical world.
In this way, there has been no large-scale war between Muggles and wizards in modern times? Therefore, the war in the wizarding world did not affect the Muggle world.
Although many wizards have also thought about the boring debate about whether automatic rifles or Avada's Kedavra are more efficient.
At the end of the Renaissance, after the witch hunts disappeared, the wizarding world also ushered in a long-lasting peace.
"How could I do such a business? You know, the Black family has a duke."
Regulus Black took out a pea-sized ruby and placed it on the table.
"This is a product of alchemy, but it is not an ordinary gemstone. It has passed the test of a professional organization in the Muggle world. It is a new type of real gemstone that has been listed on the list. Moreover, wearing this gemstone can refresh your mind."
The ruby on the table shone slightly red, emitting what the Muggle world called radioactive rays.
"You added a charm to it?"
Quirrell picked up the gem and played with it with great interest. He could feel that the gem stimulated his blood to flow faster.
"This kind of stimulation is very weak, but it is long-lasting enough, and it will not make people's stress response inert because of long-term stimulation."
After hearing this, Quirrell carefully sensed the energy in the gem, and everything was indeed as Regulus Black said.
Quirrell could agree to Regulus Black's request, but he didn't want to do evil for him. However, after trying the effect of the gem himself, this worry was completely put away, not to mention that he would be responsible for the transaction of gems in the future. As a leader, just detect problems early and solve them early.
"Okay! I agree to your offer."
Quirrell put the gem down and began to discuss with Regulus Black the details of the follow-up work, how to sell the gem and its pricing.
That night, a letter was sent by Regulus Black to Lucy Piddle, the legal advisor at Scarlet Manor.
Quirinus Quirrell will become the steward of Scarlet Manor and the person in charge of the sales of scarlet gems.
Before dawn, Dumbledore summoned Regulus Black and Quirinus Quirrell and asked in detail everything that had happened that night.
Dumbledore showed no surprise at Voldemort's appearance. He had reservations about Quirrell's explanation, and then encouraged Quirrell to work well for Regulus Black.
After sending Quirrell away, Regulus Black sat down unscrupulously and began to accuse Dumbledore.
"Master Headmaster! You have made it clear that you still don't believe Quirrell. This is very sad."
Regulus Black started toying with Dumbledore's dessert again, piling some sweets into Voldemort's head.
The head made of moving cockroaches and hard candies is simply scarier than the original head portrait on the back of the head. Even Dumbledore lost his appetite for cockroaches today after seeing it.
"Sometimes I have a lot to think about, Regulus! I have to say you kept the place really clean."
Dumbledore waved his hand to clear away Voldemort's cockroach portrait. It was so disgusting that he couldn't speak properly.
Old Bee looked like he was preparing to ask for school property, but how could he spit out what he had eaten? It was too ungraceful.
Regulus Black will definitely not use the three-headed hellhound 'Luwei', the school's harp, Professor Sprout's Devil's Net, Professor Flitwick's Flying Key, Professor McGonagall's Wizarding Chessboard, etc. Hand over Professor Nep's potion bottle and the school's property, the Mirror of Erised!
Even Neville's pet Trevor would not return it to the little fat man.
Regulus Black looked at Dumbledore with a helpless expression, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to give the headmaster some face.
"The magic stone is very useful to me. I hope you can give it to me."
With that said, Regulus Black took out the Philosopher's Stone and placed it in front of Dumbledore.
You must know that the previous ones are not as valuable as the Philosopher's Stone, but now Regulus Black has taken out the most valuable Philosopher's Stone. This is more like an attitude.
Dumbledore slowly began to eat a piece of sweet pastry, chewing it carefully, and took a long time to finish it.
"Since it is useful to you, then you can stay! I hope you can use the magic stone in the right way. I will say that the magic stone has been destroyed."
Dumbledore also figured out that since Regulus Black did not give the Sorcerer's Stone to Voldemort, he would not give it to Voldemort in the future. Fundamentally, Regulus Black might become bad, but he and Voldemort Their interests are not consistent, and even because of Regulus Black's special situation, the two will still be mortal enemies in the future.
Regulus Black took the Philosopher's Stone that Dumbledore pushed back with his own hands, and the relationship between the two was much closer at this moment.
Now that they were close, Dumbledore began to revert to his old boy attitude.
"Regulus! You seem to have taken away a student's pet."
Dumbledore blinked, that means you, a teaching assistant, stole a student's pet. This is so embarrassing. You'd better take it out quickly!
"Are you sure you want to give it back to Neville!"
Regulus Black glanced at Dumbledore provocatively, then pressed his palms on the table, and suddenly a black caloric fire appeared.
"Quack!"
Every breath and every movement of Trevor, who has become an elemental person, is filled with blazing calamity.
"This! This is unbelievable."
Dumbledore was amazed. No wizard had ever been able to combine a living creature with the Fire Calendar Curse.
"I'm sure Neville will feel warm holding it."
Regulus Black smiled evilly, let's see what Dumbledore can say.
Dumbledore really didn't have anything to say. Do he really want to return the fire-calming Trevor to Neville? This is simply murder.
"It's up to you to handle this yourself! I'm going to the Medical Service to see little Harry. He's probably waking up soon."
