Chapter 5 trusting Snape
Lily and James had taken extra precautions for harrys safety. They had many aurors round for his saftry and he had very powerful baby siters like albus, andromeda tonks, Remus, sirus, mad eye moody(he finds his eye extremely funny) of course his faveoute peter. Alice and frank longbottom where on a search for Voldermort and Neville spent a lot of time with the potters and his grandma. Harry and Neville grew so cloe that they were insepreble. People laughed and thought them just like James and Sirius. Friend forever. One night when Alice and frank were out for another all night search with the order, (for voldie of course) Neville and Harry were having the time of their lfes with there baby sisters tonight they had albus lily mad eye. They were playing wizared monopoly to which albus seem something of a rival for Harry. Albus owend all the minor properties and was quite wealthy In his gold in Gringotts, Harry was very poor but owned many of the major properties like ministry of magic, diagon ally, hogwarts, hogsmead, Neville own all four stations, liverpool station platform 9 ¾ Manchester station platform 9 ¾ Manchester station 10 ¾ kings cross station 9 3/4 . lily owned the knight bus and the leaky coudron. She was losing, having sold all that she gained for rather unfair prices. Moody was already bankrupt and helping Neville and Harry. (with the use of his magic eyeball he noticed rather quickly if anyone lands on you)
"erm mr. Dumbledore sir?" asked Neville rather intimidated by him as he was rather good at monopoly.
"yes?" he asked rather supicious he had seen lily by the smallest things for the most ridiculos prices from Neville.
"well I think that I want to sell you something for what I'd say is a very reasonable price!" said Neville hoping he would buy
"what is it you would be selling?" he asked joyfully he loved playing with kids
"well it's the last of the four founders houses, hufflepuffs' manor?" he squeeked "and as you have the other three I thought that this might be helpful" he looked at Dumbledore with hopefull eyes, 'wha taking him so long it works every time on lily?'
"whats your reasnoble price mr Neville?" he asked over his half moon glasses
"well my accountant says I can't afford to except any less than 200 gallions six sickles and ten knuts." Said Neville in a business like manor
"well mr. Neville my accountant says that I can buy it for no more than 100 gallions three sickles and five knuts"
"erm well.meeting quick!" yelled Neville mad eye Harry and Neville huddled together (as Harry and Neville were combining strengths) and whispered amongst themselves
"erm me and my accountant have discussed the matter and see that you are financially unstable so we are willing to go down to 150 gallions"
"wow Dumbledore that's one heck of an offer!" added Harry enthusiastically "he's never that generous with me and I'm his best mate long term pall and all that!"
"I see but I am very unstable finalcilly!2 said Dumbledore
"well we would like you take into account the value of this very limited property and how much money that you could gain from it! Rent values ar through the roof and if you add historical tax due to the age and former owner then the money that you are sure to get back is rather a lot and me, my accountant and fincail adviser think that 150 gallions is preactically giving it away" nevilles business like manner had surprised Dumbledore and he thought that it was ashamed to turn down such an offer because of the professional way in which Neville carrid it out. Then there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get albus you should seriously consider that offer" she walked away and opened the door to James and the rest of the order and to her surprise Snape!
"come in Harry, Neville, albus and I are playing monopoly!"
"what bout moody he not playing"
"HES BANKRUPT ALREADY" shouted Harry
"oo this should be good" whispered Sirius getting excited. They walked to the living room nevvile was talking about the poll tax that Dumbledore could recive from hufflepuffs manor.
"so you see Dumbledore with an average of ten gallons poll tax from the average player you would gain all the money back inb just 3 rounds or less!"
"not the pool tax lecture Harry pulled that one on me last week I was bankrupt in three rounds not richer!" said James
"so harrys good at monopoly!" said Snape he smiled at Harry
"your kidding I'm the undeafted champ of this house and just about everyone who has ever visited!"
"I thought lily was really smart can't she beat him"
"no she gets fumbled when it comesw to any matters involving her son or any children for that matter she'll do just about anything, Harry sold her platform 9 ¾ for 2000 gallions once!" said James and Snape looked at lily as if she was the biggest idiot in the world.
"sop Dumbledore my most gemerous offer is still open I could offer this great offer to lily but I was really kind by offering it to you what do you say"
"well I think I'd go for it if it was just 100 gallions hows that?" said Dumbledore very business like.
"wow talk about hard to crack" Neville whisered to harry
