Chapter 554 Cooperation



The other party also replied.

There was no direct rejection as he had imagined, nor was there the request for a pay cut that he often heard. Instead, the other party gave him an interview opportunity.

The only requirement is to get a letter of recommendation from Dumbledore, or at least two Hogwarts professors, which can be regarded as a proof of his work and a guarantee of his character.

Lupin could fully understand this. Compared with the demanding requirements he had experienced before, these were simply too simple, even not worth mentioning.

The Fire Dragon Sanctuary is probably the only place that can provide him with a normal job.

For a moment, Lupin's mind was torn between work and Harry.

Kyle looked at his conflicted expression and couldn't help but say, "I have an idea that will allow you to stay here without having to worry about salary. I wonder if you want to hear it."

"Do you have an idea?" Lupin blurted out.

He knew Kyle was very smart, and it was Kyle's idea that Sirius was acquitted.

Maybe he really has some good idea that can solve his current problem.

"Well, I can lend you some gold galleons," Kyle said.

Lupin sighed in disappointment.

"Lend me Galleons? Forget it. I can't ask a student for money."

"But you are not a professor anymore."

"Really." Lupin smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It's embarrassing to say this, but I can't afford it."

"Yes, you can." Kyle said with a smile, pointing to the dilapidated house in front of him, "Isn't there a ready-made solution here?"

"What?" Lupin was a little confused.

"Didn't Sirius just say that he wanted to let you run the Shrieking Shack?" Kyle said, "This is the only remaining wizard village, and it's next to Hogwarts. It's such a good place, any shop you open will be able to make money."

"Sirius bought this," Lupin said seriously. "If he really wants to open a shop, then whatever he makes will be his. I can help, but I won't touch even a single Knut."

"What if you also pay for half of it?" Kyle shrugged. "I can lend you 2,500 Galleons. If you give it to Sirius, it will become a place you both own. I believe he won't refuse."

"That's indeed true...wait, how much did you say just now?" Lupin asked with a stiff expression.

"Two thousand five hundred Galleons," Kyle said doubtfully, "half of five thousand, that's right."

"I know, but...how can you have so much money?"

"It's okay." Kyle scratched his hair.

To be honest, he didn't quite know how much money he had now, but he must have at least two or three thousand. After all, they had made a fortune in the previous Quidditch World Cup. Even if the six of them divided it equally, they would have nearly a thousand Galleons.

If one takes into account the 1,000 Galleon prize money for the champion of the Triwizard Tournament in the near future, even if Kyle lends Lupin some money, he will still have a lot left.

Even if it wasn't enough, he had other ways, such as asking Connor to help sell some basilisk skins to Snape.

But doing so is a bit risky... Snape knows that the basilisk is with him, and even with Connor's help, he is unlikely to pay honestly.

So if possible, Kyle doesn't want to use this method. After all, he only needs to wait for a few months to get the championship bonus, so there is no need to take risks.

At this time, Lupin was still a little dazed.

He knew Kyle was rich. He had seen it last year on the train, where students lined up to pay for things.

But two or three thousand Galleons... isn't that a bit too much?

"Kyle, how old are you?" Lupin murmured.

"Fifteen years old, just enough to meet the age requirement of the Goblet of Fire."

Lupin's eyes became even more confused.

Kyle earned more than 2,000 Galleons when he was fifteen. What was he doing when he was fifteen... Oh, yes, he was busy covering for James and Sirius who violated school rules.

"But……"

"This is the best solution. It allows you to stay with Harry."

Kyle said, "Besides, these 2,500 Galleons are not a gift to you. You need to pay them back. And if you want to take care of Harry, you must have an estate of your own."

Lupin was somewhat moved.

He stood there, frowning and thinking for a long time, until Sirius and Harry came out of the Shrieking Shack, and he finally made up his mind.

"I'll pay you interest, but if you refuse, I'd rather not have it."

"Why would I refuse money?" Kyle said with a smile, "Then it's settled."

"Okay." Lupin nodded with difficulty, his expression slightly heavy.

"Wait a moment, then."

Kyle took out his box, put it on the ground, opened it and walked in.

Lupin subconsciously took a step back. He remembered that when he turned into a werewolf last year, Kyle took out the Devil's Snare from this box.

Then he stayed in the school hospital for a long time.

Thinking of this, Lupin couldn't help but turn around and glare at Sirius.

"What are you looking at?" Sirius, who had just come out of the Shrieking Shack, was confused. "I didn't provoke you, did I? By the way, where is Kyle?"

"In the box," said Lupin unhappily. "You'd better not say anything now, or I'm afraid I'll have to beat you up."

"What the hell is going on? It's inexplicable." Sirius muttered softly.

After a few minutes, Kyle came out.

He held a smaller box in one hand and the squeaking Niffler in the other, and with great effort he threw it back into the box.

"It's all here, just in time." Then Kyle handed the small box to Lupin, "Do you want to check it again?"

"No need." Lupin shook his head.

Having said that, he still couldn't help but open it and take a look.

The box was cast with a traceless extension spell and was filled with golden Galleons.

Lupin's hands trembled and he almost dropped the box containing the money on the ground.

If he still had a trace of doubt in his heart before, after seeing the box full of Galleons, he completely believed what Kyle said.

"You always carry so much money with you?" He asked incredulously, "Why don't you leave it in Gringotts?"

"Why should I pay a goblin to keep my gold coins?" Kyle said as a matter of course.

In Gringotts, there is a fire dragon guarding hundreds or thousands of vaults, while here, there is a fire dragon guarding one vault. It goes without saying which one has a better safety factor.

The only one he had to watch out for was the Niffler.

This little guy's pocket is really big. He actually stole more than a thousand Galleons from the fire dragon's lair.

As luck would have it, this time it was caught red-handed by Kyle while committing the crime.

"What are you talking about...and what is this thing?" Sirius couldn't help but come closer.

Lupin took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Come with me, Sirius, I need to discuss something with you."

"Is there anything that can't be said here? Harry and Kyle are not outsiders."

"No, come with me," Lupin insisted.

"All right then." Sirius had no choice but to follow Lupin back to the Shrieking Shack.
