Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1115: human-to-human transmission
"Two busy people, why do you have time to come back."
Mrs. Weasley came out of the kitchen with food and looked at Fred and George sitting in the dining room, her brows raised slightly, she remembered that Fred and George had just moved to Diagon Alley the day before yesterday. into a makeshift tent.
"We recently received a brochure from the Ministry of Magic."
"Something special."
Fred and George looked at each other and said in unison, "We thought the booklets that the Ministry of Magic handed out were **** and useless, so we decided to..."
"What are you going to do?" Ron and Ginny came downstairs.
"We're going to write some of our own brochures that can help, so we need Remus and Moody's help," George said of why the two came back for dinner.
"Didn't Anderson put out a "Guide to Self-Defense"?" Ron really didn't understand what Fred and George were trying to do.
"Yes, but we don't need that, it's something that's easier to understand, more reliable..." Fred suddenly turned to Ron, "I'll explain to you what these do."
"It's none of your business." George picked up the butterbeer keg and poured himself a glass.
"You..." Ron was furious.
"Is it really necessary to do that?" Ginny was puzzled. The nature of Sirius's "Defense Letters" is actually similar. They teach everyone how to protect themselves and their families in this turbulent era.
"It is necessary, now that Defence Against the Dark Arts items are very popular, people are desperate for protection, a lot of wizards make a mess, and useless garbage comes out to confuse the poor fools."
"We can at least help them spend galleons in the right places instead of buying a bunch of useless junk."
"Aren't you going to open a joke shop?" Ron asked suspiciously, listening to what Fred and George said, as if planning to enter the field of Defense Against the Dark Arts and open a shop specializing in the sale of Defense Against the Dark Arts items.
"We have our own plans."
"It's none of your business."
Ron's cheeks flushed with anger from Fred and George, and he sneered angrily: "Are you sure someone will pay for your junk?"
"The Ministry of Magic ordered a bunch of junk as you said." Fred ignored the stunned Ron and turned to Ginny, "Are they still on duty?"
"I don't know, they're not going to tell us that, you know." Ginny shook her head, asking what Fred said, "Has the Ministry really placed an order with you?"
"It's an order of thousands of Galleons."
"Thousands of Galleons." Ron couldn't help widening his eyes and muttered.
"It's urgent, it's coming soon, it seems to be for the Aurors." George said to Ginny, "We actually came back to find Remus."
"What are you doing with Remus?" Mrs. Weasley asked, frowning, placing the soup on the table.
"Ask him if he would like to work part-time with us."
"Are you going to hire Remus?" Mrs. Weasley was surprised, apparently not hearing the conversation just now.
"Yes, the salary will definitely satisfy him."
"Isn't your shop set up yet?" Mrs. Weasley asked in confusion, "Besides, there are four of you, so why are you still short of manpower and spend a lot of money, is the start-up capital really enough? "
"Mom, they've just received an order from the Ministry of Magic for thousands of Galleons," Ginny reminded, and was impressed by how quickly they made money.
"Thousands of Galleons." Mrs. Weasley's eyes widened in disbelief.
Thousands of Galleons is about Mr. Weasley's annual income.
"There will be more orders to come, so we need wizards who are good at Defense Against the Dark Arts as advisors and helpers," George explained, "Remus is obviously good at that, and he needs Galleon to improve as well. life, so we wanted to ask him if he would be interested in joining us part-time."
"I remember Albert being better at that, he's also an international dueling champion." Ron asked in confusion.
"He's not available lately. Hiring Remus was his proposal. Now that the shop has just started, there are a lot of things that need to be busy. Albert asked us to find more help, so as not to be too busy."
"Are you going to hire Remus?" Sirius appeared at the living room door dragging his tired body.
"Yes, we want to see if Remus is willing to find more part-time jobs in his spare time. He should be able to make magic items!" They still remember that the Marauder's map was created by the four Sirius four. .
"I think Remus should be fine, what are you going to make?" Sirius became interested. "By the way, isn't your shop ready yet?"
"The store is almost ready, and we've already received a large order," explained George. "However, it's been too busy lately. If Remus would like to come to us to make some extra money, by the way, help us reduce some stress. That would be great."
"A joke prop?" Sirius asked tentatively.
"No, we're going to make Defence Against the Dark Arts items, and if Remus is up to the job, we can give this price." Fred made a gesture, "I'm sure the salary is much higher than the average job, Of course, the requirements are also much higher, after all, we have to consider the quality of the product, and we have to be responsible to the buyer.”
"You guys are really rich, are Defence Against the Dark Arts items really that lucrative?" Ron was very surprised, he felt that their father's monthly salary was not that high.
"Remus will definitely be up to the job, I'll find him right now, and I'm sure he'll be willing to help you." Sirius drank the butter beer in his glass in one breath, stood up and walked quickly outside Go, he is very happy for his friend to have a good job.
Because of his identity as a werewolf, Lupin's life has been very difficult, and it is very difficult to find a normal job. Although "Defense Express" has been a best-seller recently, the real income is the same, just a little bit of income every month Most of it was used to pay Lupin's salary, and sometimes even Sirius paid for it himself, and Lupin was naturally embarrassed to ask for a salary.
"Where's Sirius?" Mrs. Weasley asked suspiciously as she came out with the food.
"Sirius went to find Remus," Fred explained.
"Do you think Sirius can convince Remus?" Ginny asked curiously.
"Certainly, there are Galleons for you to earn, would you like it?"
"Definitely willing." Ron was a little envious, because Albert gave so much Galleon that he wanted to go to the store to help.
"That's right."
After a while, Lupin arrived, looking a little helpless, apparently being pulled over by Sirius.
Fred and George briefly chatted with Lupin about his work, and after Lupin agreed to help, they agreed to try it out in the store tomorrow.
Of course, it's not really the point of making Defence Against the Dark Arts items, the point is Albert's proposal.
"I think Anderson is good at it himself." Sirius asked suspiciously.
"He's not available!" Fred shook his head.
"Getting married," George added.
"Marriage, I remember Anderson seems to have just graduated from school, right?" Ginny was stunned by the news.
"Yes, we will get married in the middle of next month at the latest. The specific situation is not very clear." Fred shook his head and said, "This matter is kept secret for the time being. Keep an eye on it."
"How come?"
Mrs. Weasley was stunned by the news, and she was very fond of Albert.
"It seems that Albert has embarrassed them." Fred actually didn't know the specifics.
"The Death Eaters always like to advertise that pure blood is better, and Albert's presence will undoubtedly swell their faces." Sirius sneered, "Not to mention there is a snot, I bet he is sure Tell Voldemort that Albert is a great prophet."
"Sirius..." Lupin frowned slightly.
"Don't say I have a prejudice against Snot, it is said that he is the only professor in the whole school who has not received an invitation." Sirius interrupted Lupin, reminding, "Albert clearly doesn't trust Snee. Pop, know that guy isn't reliable at all."
"Dumbledore thinks Snape can be trusted," Lupin reminded.
"I know, he always reminds me that he has unbreakable reasons for believing in the snot." Sirius mocked himself, "but with all the professors invited, I don't think Albert would deliberately leave him out. The only possibility, Snape, is that Snape is untrustworthy."
The atmosphere was getting a little weird, Albert was known to be a prophet, and there must be other reasons for the prejudice against Snape.
"Let's eat first." Mrs. Weasley diverted from the subject. "If you don't eat the food, it will be cold."
"Wait for Dad?" George asked.
"He's working overtime today, so let's eat first," explained Mrs. Weasley.
During dinner, Fred and George talked to Sirius and Lupin about their plan, or should I say Albert's plan, as Albert expected, Sirius did not refuse, they Even interested in the Defense Against the Dark Arts props made by Albert.
"Are these Defence Against the Dark Arts items that Albert researched?"
"Yes, he anticipated the arrival of the Second Wizarding War very early, and began to research and manufacture these things." Fred recalled, "His predictions were really powerful and accurate. In my In my impression, the prophecy has come true."
"One didn't come true."
"Which?"
"Umbridge didn't enter the Forbidden Forest, so that prophecy didn't come true," George reminded.
"That's not..."
"Don't be silly, do you really think that old Trelawney liar can make those predictions?" Fred pouted.
"It's over."
"What?"
"Looks like Amelia Burns is dead." Sirius sighed softly.
"She's still alive," Lupin reminded. "The Ministry of Magic Aurors have also stepped up their protection of Amelia Burns."
"It's useless," Sirius said softly, "you should know very well, it's useless, unless Amelia Burns is willing to hide, there is no possibility of living."
"Don't talk about these things in front of the children." Mrs Weasley stared at Sirius disapprovingly.
"Tell me about your Defense Against the Dark Arts items." Lupin changed the subject, "The Ministry of Magic really..."
"Really placed a big order."
Fred pulled a bag out of his pocket and took out the Defence Against the Dark Arts items they had prepared in advance.
"Can't you talk about these things after dinner?" Mrs. Weasley couldn't help complaining.
Because of Mrs. Weasley's pressure, everyone had a hasty dinner before they started talking about the Defence Against the Dark Arts item.
"You can also use some of it. Although it can't resist black magic, it is quite useful to resist stun spells and disarming spells."
"I think Hermione seems to have acquired a similar pocket watch." Ron picked up the pocket watch in the box and asked, "How many Galleons is this thing?"
"Twenty Galleons," Fred said without hesitation.
"Twenty Galleons, are you sure you're not robbing?" Ron nearly spit out the butterbeer he just drank.
"It's cheap, it can make you sense danger in advance." Fred said without hesitation, "Is your life not worth twenty Galleons?"
"How much is a looking glass."
"The looking glass is unreliable."
“This thing is only for dark wizards and dark creatures, it can point out their approximate location, and he is also a pocket watch, and the way of reminding is quite secret, you can’t put a speculum in your pocket when you go out.” George explained , "Even if you do bring it, you will be exposed as soon as the looking glass goes off."
"If it's as you describe it, the effect is really good." Sirius has already sensed the business opportunity, and he thinks that many people will be willing to pay for one, at least a large detector. Put it at home, as long as you can find the enemy in advance, you can take timely countermeasures. If there is really no way, you can put the invisibility cloak on your body to quickly hide yourself.
As Fred and George say, at least there is a chance of getting away with it.
If you can survive, no matter how much Galleon you pay, it is worth it, not to mention the price is not expensive. Sirius believes that many wizards who are insecure will be willing to buy a set to keep at home just in case.
As for using Apparition to escape? Or use the phantom spell to hide?
It's really hard to say, what if the spell fails if you're a little nervous?
Most wizards can't even use the Iron Armor Charm, let alone the Disillusionment Charm, and the number of wizards who can use Apparition is absolutely unimaginable.
"Actually, I have some doubts, do the Aurors really need these things? I mean these defense against the dark magic items can't really help them resist the dark magic." Ron expressed his doubts.
"Of course, they exist more to prevent themselves from being attacked and buy themselves time to escape, rather than fighting the enemy." George shrugged, "That's why they are called Defense Against the Dark Arts items. "
"Of course, we also have magic props here for combat." Fred opened the next compartment of the box, which contained nine round spherical objects.
"Oh, what's this?"
"A flash bomb used for sneak attacks." Fred took out a grenade-like thing and introduced it to the crowd: "Throw it out, it will emit a dazzling light, which can temporarily blind others' eyes, allowing himself to be short-term. internal advantage.”
"Blind people?" Ron muttered.
"You can experience it for yourself," Fred said with a smile.
"Forget it."
"This is a smoke bomb, also known as a Peruvian stealth smoke bomb." Fred took out a black ball and continued to introduce: "Throwing it can create a darkness that even light cannot penetrate, which can be used for strategy Retreat, a very practical thing, it is recommended to keep two.”
"There are also decoy bombs to attract the attention of the enemy." George took out another ball with a clown grimace painted on it and said, "It makes a loud noise when thrown, similar to a roar letter."
"This is a laughing bullet. Throwing it out will spread an extract from the leaves of Aliott. Once inhaled, it will make people laugh." Fred slowly introduced Lupin and Sirius to all kinds of black and white in the box. Magical defense items, like an arms dealer introducing their weapons to their employers ~IndoMTL.com~ Are you going to sell these? ' asked Mrs Weasley suddenly.
"No, we only sell Peruvian stealth smoke bombs," Fred shrugged. "We thought people might need them, so we brought them along."
"I'm sure Moody will be interested in your stuff too." Sirius said with a smile, "By the way, how many Galleons are there, give me a few."
He's going to get some Peruvian stealth smoke grenades for everyone's self-defense.
"No, we will fund you two boxes for free." Fred smiled and took out two boxes of Peruvian stealth smoke bombs from the box and handed them to Sirius. "After using them, remember to tell us the actual combat effect."
"How much is this thing?" Ron asked curiously.
"You won't be able to use it anyway."
"Albert is very good at using these things, he used Mandrake roots to easily overpower Barty Crouch Jr. last time." George reminded, "Peeves also used Mandrake's grass roots. The cry subdued a dozen Ministry Aurors."
"But isn't that thing deadly?" Ginny asked, puzzled.
"Immature mandrakes are not lethal," Fred explained. "When you encounter a large group of Death Eaters, consider summoning a pot of mandrakes and eating them to death. If you are lucky, you can easily subdue the opponent. As far as I know, Albert has planted a lot of mandrakes."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, suddenly feeling that this move seemed to make sense. If you were caught off guard, it was really possible to deal with the enemy in one go. Although the method was indeed a bit... but it was indeed very practical.
Of course, throwing mandrakes at the enemy is obviously not feasible for members of the Order of the Phoenix, but it's a good idea.
