Chapter 94: Firebolt

　　 The calm and comfortable Christmas holiday is gradually over.
　　 Soon after New Year's Day, the students returned to school one after another, and Hufflepuff’s common room became more and more lively.
　　 As more and more people return to school, Jon can no longer continue to learn and practice magic here.
　　 He was forced to relocate and head to the House of Requirement again, as before.
　　 One week after New Year's Day, the new semester officially begins!
　　 There was a news at the same time, which began to circulate widely among all the students
　　 "I heard that Harry Potter in Gryffindor received a firebolt as a Christmas gift!" One night, Zacharias Smith said mysteriously in the common room.
　　 "What is the Firebolt?" Hannah Abbot asked somewhat puzzledly: "This name sounds familiar..."
"Firebolt is the most perfect flying broom so far, representing the highest level of craftsmanship at present!" Zacharias gushed out as if he had received advertising fees: "Every broom twig at its tail has been screened. , Streamlined to perfection, unparalleled in balance and precision...accelerate up to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds, it is the first choice for any Quidditch player to dream of!"
"Porter's previous light wheel 2000 was blown off by the storm during the game against us!" Cedric Diggory's voice can also be heard with envy: "He is also a blessing in disguise. ..."
　　 After all, Cedric himself still used a broom to sweep the stars.
　　 "Who the would give him such an expensive gift!" Ernie McMillan said incredibly: "Firebolt is not a bargain!"
　　 "Maybe it's his admirer... Harry has many fans!" Hannah guessed.
　　 "Maybe the smoke bomb released by Gryffindor?" Hufflepuff's batter Jimmy asked tentatively.
　　 "Anyway, our game with Gryffindor is over!"
　　……
　　All the speculations are over at noon at the end of January.
　　 When the teachers and students of the school were having breakfast that day, Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Hooch appeared in the hall with a broom wrapped in protective film.
"Well, I just went to the Gryffindor common room to see you." Professor McGonagall's voice was not loud, but it was still enough for many people to hear: "Give it back to you, we have done everything we want. , But there is nothing unusual about this broom...Where do you have a good friend, Potter!"
　　 As the two teachers left, the whole hall exploded in an instant.
　　 "My God, is it really Firebolt!"
　　 "That's the flying broomstick formulated by the England national team!"
　　 "Harry, can you let me touch it?"
　　 Not only the students of Gryffindor, but many students of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, crowded around and crowded.
　　 Including Ernie McMillan and Zacharias Smith who were sitting next to Jon just now.
　　 Everyone yelled loudly, just to take a look at "Firebolt".
　　 Jon naturally doesn't walk around, he gnawed a ham in his hand while observing the surrounding casually.
　　 Soon, he noticed Draco Malfoy on the Slytherin table.
　　 Poor Malfoy's face was blue, his eyes fixed on the crowd at Gryffindor, his expression could not be said to be jealous or angry...
　　……
Jon can put himself in and think about Malfoy’s current situation. If he was Malfoy, he would definitely call his father-no, an owl would call his father; let Lucius Malfoy buy him one. Firebolt, even seven Firebolts, one for the Slytherin Quidditch team!
　　 Of course Jon obviously does not have the financial resources; but the Malfoy family does not seem to have it either.
　　 Lucius Malfolk bought seven light wheels for his son in 2001 to help him enter the Slytherin Quidditch team to challenge Harry Potter; but he can’t afford to buy another Firebolt...
　　 In fact, Guanglun 2001 is now the top broomstick. The combined price of seven is not inferior to a Firebolt.
　　 is just the budget Lucius Malfoy can spend on the flying broomstick, and the seven light wheels in 2001 were completely used up...
　　According to Jon's own guesses, as well as from Astoria's understanding...Most of the glamorous "pure-blood families" are in a state of eating food.
　　The reason why they are only glamorous is because they have almost no source of income.
　　 A typical "pure-blooded family": He owns a magnificent manor with many antique gold and silver objects that have been passed down for hundreds of years, as well as the gold piled up in the Gringa.
　　 But the manor is used for living, and the antique is used for use; it seems to be of great value, but if one day you want to sell them and discount them, you will find that you can’t sell them for much gold.
　　 The gold in the vault will only become less and less in most families as it is consumed from generation to generation.
　　 Even many families can only survive by borrowing from Gringotts.
　　Gold is accumulated by countless generations of ancestors of pure-blood families: they either found mysterious treasures, or relied on potions to refine the gold family to get rich, or they relied on Muggles to exorcise ghosts and demons in exchange for wealth...
　　 But with the delay of time ~EbookFREE.me~ such wealth accumulation becomes more and more difficult.
　　 Very few wizard families have sustainable output industries. In fact, for the wizarding world, which is extremely rich in material production, the output of the so-called industries is hardly worth mentioning.
　　 Because of the existence of magic, food, cloth, water, the most basic survival resources, are extremely cheap in the wizarding world.
　　Because of Gamp’s basic deformation law, food cannot be transformed; but you can increase a small amount of food to make ordinary pumpkins grow taller than adults, and you can get an unprecedented harvest in barren farmland...
Even the "poor families" of wizards like the Weasleys are troubled because they have to support four or five children to study, so they can't afford new magic books and magic wands; even though they can't even get a Jin Jialong But this does not affect them living in a house of several hundred square meters, with an endless yard, a family with more than a dozen mouths, and they can still drink spicy food all day long.
And a pure-blooded family will spend a lot of wealth every year in order to maintain the communication and dignity on the front of the family, as well as to manage all classes. The consumption of these wealth is far from being a Ministry of Magic official or Hogwar. The members of the board of directors can make up for it.
　　 Therefore, they will become more and more dry and decayed.
　　 This is also the reason why Voldemort's "pure blood is supreme" concept attracts these pure blood families.
By attacking, enslaving and plundering hemp wizards and Muggles, they can once again obtain a lot of wealth and resources, and once again fill the vault of Gringotts, and re-enable the following generations to enjoy the same luxury and prosperity as before. life!

　　 Jon lowered his head and took another bite of ham calmly.
　　 There is no fluctuation in his heart, and he even wants to laugh.
