Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1115: Person to person
Chapter 1117 Person-to-person transmission
"Two busy people, why do you come back when you have time?"
Mrs. Weasley came out of the kitchen with the food, looked at Fred and George sitting in the dining room, and raised her brows slightly. She remembered that Fred and George 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 feel that the things in the pamphlets issued by the Ministry of Magic are all **** and useless at all, so we plan to..."
"What are you going to do?" Ron and Ginny came downstairs.
"We are going to compile some brochures that can help everyone, so we need the help of Remus and Moody." George said the reason why the two came back for dinner.
"Didn't Anderson publish a "Guide to Self-Defense?" Ron really didn't understand what Fred and George wanted to do.
"Yes, but what we need is not that kind, which is simpler, easier to understand, and more reliable..." Fred suddenly turned his head to look at Ron, "I will explain to you what to do."
"This matter has nothing to do with you." George picked up the butter beer barrel and poured himself a glass.
"You..." Ron was very angry.
"Is it really necessary to do that?" Ginny was puzzled. Sirius' "Defense Letters" was actually similar in nature, teaching everyone how to protect themselves and their families in this turbulent era.
"It's very necessary. Defense against the Dark Arts props are very popular now, and people are desperately seeking protection. Many wizards have made a bunch of messy and useless garbage to confuse those poor fools."
"We can at least help them spend Galleons in the right place, instead of buying a bunch of useless garbage."
"Aren't you going to open a joke store?" Ron asked suspiciously. Hearing what Fred and George said, it seemed that he planned to enter the field of defense against the dark arts and open a shop specializing in the sale of defense against the dark arts props.
"We have our own plans."
"It has nothing to do with you."
Ron was flushed by Fred and George's anger, and he sneered angrily: "Are you sure someone will pay for your pile of junk?"
"The Ministry of Magic ordered a bunch of junk you said." Fred ignored Ron who was stunned, and turned to Ginny, "Are they still on duty?"
"I don't know, they won't tell us this, you know." Ginny shook her head, and asked about what Fred said: "Did the Ministry of Magic really place an order with you?"
"It is an order of thousands of Galleons."
"Thousands of Galleons." Ron murmured, his eyes widening.
"It's urgent, I need it soon, it seems to be for the Aurors." George said to Ginny, "We're actually coming back to find Remus."
"What are you doing with Remus?" Mrs. Weasley asked with a frown as she put 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, obviously not hearing the conversation just now.
"Yes, the salary will definitely satisfy him."
"Isn't your shop ready yet?" Mrs. Weasley asked puzzledly, "Besides, there are four of you, why are you still short of manpower, spend a lot of money, is there really enough start-up capital? "
"Mom, they just received an order from the Ministry of Magic for thousands of Galleons." Ginny reminded, and at the same time she was very impressed with the speed at which 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 in the future, so we need wizards who are good at defense against the dark arts as advisors and helpers." George explained, "Remus is obviously also good at these, and he also needs Gallon to improve life, so we wanted to ask him if he was interested in working part-time with us."
"I remember that Albert is better at these, he is also an international dueling champion." Ron asked puzzled.
"He hasn't been free recently. Hiring Remus was his proposal. Now that the store is just starting up, there are many things that need to be busy. Albert asked us to find more helpers, so as not to be overwhelmed."
"Are you going to hire Remus?" Sirius dragged his tired body and appeared at the living room door.
"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 made by the four of Sirius .
"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 shop is almost ready, and we have already received a large order." George explained, "However, I've been too busy recently, if Remus is willing to come to us to earn some extra money, it can help us reduce some pressure That would be great."
"A joke prop?" Sirius asked tentatively.
"No, we intend to manufacture Defense Against the Dark Arts items. If Remus is competent, we can offer this price." Fred gestured, "I'm sure the salary is much higher than the average job, Of course, the requirements are much higher, after all, we have to consider product quality and be responsible to buyers.”
"You guys are really rich, are the Defense Against the Dark Arts items really that profitable?" Ron was very surprised, he felt that their father's monthly salary was not that high.
"Remus is sure to be competent. I'll go find him right away. I'm sure he'll be willing to come and help you." Sirius drank the butterbeer in his glass in one gulp, stood up and walked quickly outside Go, he is very happy that his friend can have a good job.
Because of his identity as a werewolf, Lupine's life has always been very difficult, and it is quite difficult to find a normal job. Although "Defense Letters" has been selling well recently, the real income is the same, that little income every month Most of it went to Lupine's salary, and sometimes even Sirius paid for it himself, and Lupine was naturally embarrassed to ask for a salary.
"Where's Sirius?" Mrs. Weasley asked suspiciously when she came out with the food.
"Sirius went to find Remus," Fred explained.
"Do you think Sirius can convince Remus?" Ginny asked curiously.
"Sure, you can earn money with Garen, would you like it?"
"I definitely would." Ron was a little envious, because Albert had given too many Galleons, so he wanted to help in the store.
"That's right."
After a while, Lupine arrived, looking a little helpless, obviously being forcibly pulled over by Sirius.
Fred and George briefly chatted with Lupine about his work, and after Lupine agreed to help, they agreed to try it out in the store tomorrow.
Of course, making black magic defense props is not the point, the point is Albert's proposal.
"I think Anderson is very good at it himself." Sirius asked suspiciously.
"He's not free!" Fred shook his head.
"Going to be married," George added.
"Married, I remember Anderson just graduated from school?" Ginny was stunned by the news.
"Yes, we will get married in the middle of next month at the latest, and the specific situation is still unclear." Fred shook his head and said, "This matter is kept secret for the time being. Eyeing on."
"How come?"
Mrs. Weasley was stunned by the news, she had a good impression of Albert.
"It seems that Albert made them lose face." Fred actually didn't know the specific situation.
"Death Eaters always like to spread the word that pure blood is better, and the existence of Albert will undoubtedly completely swell their faces." Tell Voldemort that Albert is a great prophet."
"Sirius..." Lupine frowned slightly.
"Don't say I'm prejudiced against the snot-nosed man. It's said that among the professors in the school, he's the only one who didn't receive the invitation." Sirius interrupted Lupine and reminded, "It's obvious that Albert doesn't trust Sney. Pu, I know that guy is not reliable at all."
"Dumbledore thought Snape was credible," Lupine reminded.
"I know, he always reminds me that he has unbreakable reasons to believe in snotlings." Sirius laughed at himself, "But when all the professors in the school are invited, I don't think Albert will deliberately omit the snot." Snape, the only possibility is that Snape is not trustworthy."
The atmosphere at the scene became a bit weird. As we all know, Albert is a prophet, and there must be other reasons for his prejudice against Snape.
"Let's eat first." Mrs. Weasley changed the topic, "If you don't eat food, you will be cold."
"Don't wait for Dad?" George asked.
"He has to work overtime today, let's eat first." Mrs. Weasley explained.
During dinner, Fred and George chatted with Sirius and Lupine about their plan, or should I say Albert's plan, just as Albert expected, Sirius did not refuse, they He is even very interested in the black magic defense props made by Albert.
"These are the black magic defense items studied by Albert?"
"Yes, he anticipated the arrival of the Second Wizarding War very early, and began to research and manufacture these things." Fred recalled, "His predictions are really powerful and accurate. In my In my impression, the prophecy has come true.”
"Something didn't come true."
"Which one?"
"Umbridge didn't enter the Forbidden Forest, so that prophecy didn't come true." George reminded.
"That's not..."
"Don't be stupid, do you really think that old liar Trelawney can make those predictions?" Fred pouted.
"It's over."
"What?"
"It seems that Amelia Bones is dead." Sirius sighed softly.
"She's still alive." Lupine reminded, "The Ministry of Magic Aurors have also strengthened the protection of Amelia Bones."
"It's useless." Sirius said softly, "You should be very clear, it's useless, unless Amelia Bones is willing to hide, there is a possibility of survival."
"Don't talk about these things in front of the children." Mrs. Weasley glared at Sirius disapprovingly.
"Tell me about your Defense Against the Dark Arts props." Lupine changed the subject, "The Ministry of Magic really..."
"Really placed a big order."
Fred took out a bag from his pocket, and took out the defense 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.
Under the pressure of Mrs. Weasley, everyone had a hasty dinner before they started talking about the defense against the dark arts items.
"You can also take some and use them. Although you can't resist black magic, it's quite effective against stun spells and disarm spells."
"I remember that Hermione seems to have obtained a similar pocket watch." Ron picked up the pocket watch in the box and asked, "How much is this thing for Galleons?"
"Twenty Galleons." Fred said without thinking.
"Twenty Galleons, are you sure you're not robbing?" Ron almost spit out the butter beer he just drank.
"It's very cheap, it can let you perceive the danger in advance." Fred said without thinking, "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. Moreover, it is a pocket watch, and the way of reminding is quite secret. It is impossible for you to carry a spyglass in your pocket when you go out." George explained , "Even if you really bring it, you will be exposed when the looking glass rings."
"If it is really as you describe, the effect is really good." Sirius has already smelled the business opportunity, and he thinks that many people will be willing to pay for one, at least a large detector At home, as long as the enemy can be detected in advance, countermeasures can be taken in time. If there is really no other way, you can also put the invisibility cloak on your body to hide yourself quickly.
As Fred and George said, at least there is a chance to get away with it.
If you can survive, no matter how much Gallen you pay, it's worth it, not to mention that the price is not too expensive. Sirius believes that many wizards who don't feel safe will be willing to buy a set and keep it at home just in case.
As for Apparating to escape? Or use the Disillusionment Charm to hide?
It's really hard to say, what if you get a little nervous and fail to cast a spell?
Most wizards can't even use the Iron Armor Charm, let alone the Disillusionment Curse, and the number of wizards who can use Apparition is definitely not as many as imagined.
"Actually, I'm a little confused, do Aurors really need these things? I mean these black magic defense items can't really help them resist black magic." Ron expressed his doubts in his heart.
"Of course, they exist more to prevent you from being attacked and buy yourself time to escape, rather than to fight the enemy." George shrugged, "That's why they are called Defense Against the Dark Arts props. "
"Of course, we also have magic props specially used for fighting." Fred opened the next box of the box, and there were nine round spherical objects inside.
"Oh, what is this?"
"Flash bombs for sneak attacks." Fred took out a grenade-like thing and introduced it to everyone: "Throwing it out will emit a dazzling strong light, which can temporarily blind others' eyes and let oneself internal advantage."
"Blinding people?" Ron muttered.
"You can experience it 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 out can create a darkness that even light can't penetrate, and it can be used strategically." Retreat, it’s a very practical thing, it’s recommended to keep two on hand.”
"There are also decoy bombs to attract the attention of the enemy." George took out another ball with a clown face painted on it and said, "Throwing it will make a loud noise, the principle is similar to howling letters."
"This is a laughing bomb. Throwing it out will spread a kind of arioot leaf extract. Once inhaled, it will make people laugh." Fred slowly introduced the various black and white pills in the box to Lupine and Sirius. Magic defense props, like an arms dealer introducing their weapons to their employers.
"Are you going to sell these things?" Mrs. Weasley asked suddenly.
"No, we only sell Peruvian stealth smoke bombs," Fred shrugged, "We thought you might need them, so we brought them along."
"I dare say that Moody will definitely be interested in your things." Sirius said with a smile, "By the way, this thing is a lot of Galleons, give me a few."
He intends to get some Peruvian stealth smoke bombs for everyone's self-defense.
"No, we will subsidize 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. How many things?" Ron asked curiously.
"You can't afford it anyway."
"Albert is very good at using these things. He used the Mandrake root to easily subdue Barty Crouch Jr. last time." George reminded, "Peves also used the Mandrake root The cries overpowered a dozen Ministry Aurors."
"But isn't that thing fatal?" Ginny asked puzzled.
"An immature Mandrake is not fatal." Fred explained, "When you encounter a large group of Death Eaters, you can consider summoning a pot of Mandrake to eat it 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 blank dismay, and suddenly felt that this move seemed to be very reasonable. If they were caught off guard, it would be possible to deal with the enemy in one go.
Of course, throwing mandrakes at enemies is obviously not feasible for members of the Order of the Phoenix, but it's a good idea.
