Chapter 111: A Big Joke
"This matter is actually very simple to say."
Fred explained, "After we left Hogwarts, we were indeed planning to gather some forces to resist John as planned.
We first found some senior students we knew before and hoped that they could participate.
As a result, there were so many people, but no one wanted to do it.
They told me it wasn't because they lacked courage.
It's because after John became the Minister of Magic, the entire magical world in the country was much better than before.
And it is foreseeable that the magic world of the Republic of China will get better and better under the leadership of John.
They even think that John is the best Minister of Magic this century!
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to overthrow him."
"This is bullshit!"
Ron said angrily.
"Snapped--"
George snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, we thought so at the time."
Fred continued:
"Then we boldly came to Diagon Alley. As a result, there was a scene of singing and dancing, even more lively than before! Can you understand our complicated feelings at that time? In a man who holds the title of the third generation Dark Lord
How could the commercial streets be so busy under human rule? How could ordinary people be smiling from ear to ear?"
Michelle and others nodded repeatedly.
It can be said that they feel the same way.
"Until this point, we have not given up on our beliefs."
George continued, "We started to stop passers-by on the road who looked courageous and rebellious. Or we went to the store and quietly approached the store owner. We promoted our ideas to them and prepared them to join our team. As a result...
…”
When George said this, he seemed to be recalling something painful, covering his face and shaking his head vigorously.
Harry couldn't help but ask:
"The results of it?"
"The result is the same as when we went to find those seniors."
Fred sighed, "No one wants to join at all. Everyone thinks that John is a very good Minister of Magic. Not only do they not want to overthrow his idea, but they also support him very much!
After hearing our idea, one store manager even reported the matter to the Ministry of Magic, hoping that the thugs would lock us up!"
"Oh my god——"
Ron exclaimed, "Then how did you escape?"
"We didn't escape because the customers in the store had already held us down in advance!" George said with a strange expression, "But after the thugs came over and asked about the situation, they didn't arrest us, but let us go.
"
Fred continued:
"They said... we are just two fools. And if two fools said something stupid, they would not be punished."
"That sounds pretty good..."
"Not bad? No! Michelle, this is terrible!" George shouted, "Because we are famous! In the entire Diagon Alley, most of the people in the wizarding world of the country...even the window door of the Quidditch boutique
All the kids know that there are two red-haired Wes who are stupid and tell people stupid things all day long!"
Fred said painfully:
"We are the kings of pranks! Normally, we make other people's jokes. But this time, it's the other way around! We ourselves become a big joke!"
"And the highlight of the joke is," George said, showing the inventory in the warehouse with open arms, "we also opened a 'Wesla Joke Shop.'"

Fred said:
"The owner of the joke shop is a big joke! This joke is so funny!"
"But you have to admit, Fred," George said, "this incident has made our business better by creating a reputation as 'Wes's Joke Shop'!"
"Oh! In John's famous words, this is called pain and happiness!"
After Fred finished speaking, he bumped fists with George, and then the two of them laughed.
But amid the laughter, the expressions of Michelle and others were extremely stiff.
They never expected that the development of things would not only be different from what they expected, but also be so... nonsensical.
This is quite... quite 'George and Fred'.
Michelle frowned and said:
"But I still don't understand, how did you open a joke shop? The money you saved should not be enough."
"It was even simpler." Fred explained, "We went to John and borrowed the money."
Ron said loudly:
"What! How could you do that? You obviously wanted to overthrow him, but in the end you took his money!"
"Please, don't mention that we want to overthrow John, okay?" Fred said with a face covering his face again, "This makes us feel ashamed, because according to our investigation results, John is really a very good magician.
The minister is ten thousand times better than Fudge! Under his leadership, the magic world of the country is becoming better and better day by day!"
George also said:
"And we didn't borrow the money from John personally. In fact, we got a business loan through the latest "Encouragement for Entrepreneurship Program" of the Ministry of Magic."
"The interest rate on this loan is very low, and the Entrepreneurship Encouragement Program also gives us other help."
Fred said, "For example, take the store we are using now.
The Goblin Foundation acquired most of the shops in Diagon Alley some time ago. After John expelled the goblins, these shops were all taken over and became the property of the Ministry of Magic.
John took out part of the store and rented it out to entrepreneurial store owners like us at a lower price through the Entrepreneurship Encouragement Program."
"But not everyone can enjoy this kind of preferential treatment!"
George said proudly, "The Ministry of Magic will review those who submit applications. Only talented people like us can pass the review and enjoy support! Most people can't pass at all!"
Michelle and others looked at each other.
They could feel the real joy and pride from George and Fred.
This cannot be faked.
In other words, John is really a very good Minister of Magic who satisfies almost everyone?
Michelle was breathing heavily, her eyes were a little red, and she was extremely excited inside.
During this time, she had been tortured almost to the point of going crazy by the conflict between her conscience and her personal relationship.
And now, everything is moving in the right direction!
John, still the same John!
He hasn't changed!
It's just that someone misunderstood him.
Harry next to Michelle started dancing with joy.
While jumping around, he was still shouting things like "I told you so".
Hermione's eyes were shining as well.
Because she discovered that the various orders executed by John were making the magical world move in a more advanced direction in her ideals!
Now in the entire warehouse, Ron is the only one who still has a sullen face and looks worried.
Finally, he couldn't bear the laughter around him anymore and said loudly to George and Fred:
"You were all just bribed by John! You two...are traitors! The truth of the matter is by no means as good as you say!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes in the warehouse immediately focused on Ron.
Harry and Michelle were also prepared to go up and try to persuade the angry Ron.
But George and Fred stopped them.
As Ron's older brother, they really know this little brother very well.
Ron is a person who likes to get into trouble. There are some things that he can only figure out on his own. No matter how others persuade him, it will be useless.
"Don't worry about him, let him be angry alone!"
George and Fred said, "Michelle, it's a rare time for you to come here! Let us take you out shopping and shopping! I can tell you that there are many new stores in Diagon Alley recently, and more interesting ones.
Things! This is all thanks to John! Let’s go!”
After saying that, without waiting for Michelle and others to refuse, George and Fred dragged a few people towards the outside of the store.
Ron stared blankly at their retreating figures.
