Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 237: The profiteers
The gust of wind, wrapped in snowflakes, beat relentlessly against the windows, and the biting chill seeped into the house through the glass, but was isolated from the heavy curtains. In the center of the bedroom was a large stove, which was burning with blue flames.
Albert and a few of his roommates are sitting around the big fire, stoking the fire, busy with the work at hand.
“Can Baffe Brain Refresher really make people smarter?” Fred looked at the green potion. This is the Bafee Brain Refresher brought back by Albert. The dose in the bottle is probably enough for everyone. Take a sip.
"Buffy can really make people smarter." Albert said without looking up. "As long as you drink that stuff, you can easily get an excellent grade in this year's written test."
"Really?" Fred's gaze at Buffy's Brain Refresher grew more eager.
"Of course it's true, I've already taken it, and the effect is really good." Albert's tone paused and frowned, "However, it is very difficult to brew Bafet Brain Refresher, and it is very difficult to collect materials. It’s also very laborious.”
"Didn't you say you can dilute the potion with water?" George took the bottle from Fred, staring straight at the green potion inside, and continued, "With Albert's potion on the potion. With attainments, it shouldn't be too difficult to brew Buffy Brain Refresher, right?"
"It's hard!" Albert hasn't been arrogant to that level, and even if he uses experience to upgrade his skills, he doesn't think he can succeed all at once.
It takes many attempts to brew any kind of potion. Even a genius potion master can't guarantee that he will be successful the first time he brews an unfamiliar potion.
"Don't be afraid of flaws, just add a little more water to dilute it." Lee Jordan comforted.
"This is a good idea. Although the potion may not be as effective as this bottle, it still helps to make my brain more flexible and get a good score in the exam." Look at the excitement on the faces of the three Expression, they are more confident than Albert himself.
"Stop dreaming, do you think you can drink potions every day?" Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the three of them, "It's fine to drink a little occasionally, drink it every day, if there is no potion then If you do, you will really become a waste.”
"It's not that exaggerated!"
"Or, let's use this bottle of Buffy Brain Refresher as the championship prize?" Fred suddenly suggested: "I believe that Albert will be able to brew this potion in the future, and now we need to let some students We know that we have a special channel to get this potion that can make people smarter. The champion's reward is ten Galleons, so the price of this bottle of Bafa Brain Refresher is set at ten Galleons."
"I suddenly realized that you also have the potential to be a profiteer!" Albert looked up and down at Fred and said with a smile.
The raw material of Bafei Brain Refresher is indeed very precious, and it is very difficult to cook, but its price is also very expensive.
Although the bottle of Buffy Brain Refresher in George's hand can only last for a few hours at most, but taking a sip at a critical moment can solve the written test of any subject, it is actually quite cost-effective when you think about it.
At least, with this thing, you don't need to worry about failing the exam and being troubled by the professor.
"The potion must be very popular between fifth and seventh grade," Fred continued. "I think they'd be willing to pay for Galleon with a nice report card."
"Only if they have Galleons in their pockets." Albert said sullenly.
"There will be some savings," Lee Jordan explained.
"Fred, you've changed." George said sadly, "I didn't expect..."
"It's actually good to have Galleons." Fred shrugged and said, "Especially after seeing Albert, I suddenly realized that people really need Galleons, so that they can follow their own rules. will live happily."
"Are you going to join the Ministry of Magic after graduation?" Fred looked at his twin brother.
"Never mind, people still have Galleons." George wilted all of a sudden, and immediately nodded in agreement with Fred's words.
"Okay, although I think it's a little early..." Albert organized the language and said, "When I come back from the Christmas holidays, I will start to try to make Buffy Brain Refresher. , you are responsible for the sales, as for the commission... You can get a Galleon after selling one bottle." Speaking of which, Albert's tone paused and continued, "Or, we will store this money as graduation. Start-up capital to open a store later.”
After all, Albert is going to open a wizard brand store in the future, and he is ready to pull a few roommates over to open the store together.
"One bottle of one Galleon's commission?" The three of Fred's eyes lit up when they heard the words.
After all, the potion was brewed by Albert, and the medicinal materials were purchased by Albert himself, and the risk was borne by Albert himself. The commission, that is really a frightening wealth for them.
However, when Albert talked about opening a store together after graduation, the three of them were a little confused. It was too far away for them now.
"At that time, I'm going to open a Defense Against the Dark Arts store, specializing in selling some items, books and the like that protect against the dark magic." Albert continued to talk about his future plans: "Maybe in the future I can still Go back to Hogwarts and become an honorary professor."
"Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, do you really dare to think about it?" The three of them couldn't help but want to complain, they all knew that this position was cursed, and whoever was unlucky.
"We want to open a joke shop." The twins looked at each other and said in unison.
"And the Wizards store," Lee Jordan suggested.
"Well, we can open a shop in Diagon Alley and sell the three stores together." Albert nodded, "We'll talk about this later. Before that, we need a large sum of Galleons as a result. Start-up capital."
"Maybe, we should give that shop a loud name in advance." Lee Jordan suddenly suggested, "It's called the Big Four, what's the name like?"
"Don't you think this name sounds ugly?" Fred immediately retorted: "People who don't know think we have big heads!"
"It's not urgent. I'll talk about it later. Anyway, this matter will take a long time. Don't forget to give us a nice name." Breaking the trio's argument ~IndoMTL.com~ and refocusing on the dried mandrake roots in his hands.
"Are you going to use this as a protective bracelet?" George put his newly completed wizard card back into the box, and the three of them are now learning to design wizard cards to help Albert share the pressure.
"Well, after the mature mandrake grass roots are dried, they can be used to make various amulets, which can effectively resist some curses and black magic." Albert explained: "As for these scraps , can still be used to make potions."
Actually, Albert has changed several sets of runes and woods, but the effect of the protective bracelets produced can only be regarded as mediocre.
Today, Albert is not preparing to make a protective bracelet, but trying to make a special amulet. The item carved in front of him is a unicorn with a thick thumb, which is both a amulet and a cute charm.
This is a birthday present for Isobel.
Albert didn't know Isobel's preferences either, so he followed the ideas of ordinary girls.
"I think those protective bracelets you made earlier are already very good." George has long been eyeing the protective bracelets made by Albert.
"Even if you say that, I won't let you play." Albert said suddenly, and both Fred and Lee Jordan couldn't help laughing.
"Your carving skills are getting better and better." Lee Jordan asked, staring at the formed wood carving. "What is this, a horse?"
"Unicorn." Albert pointed to the unicorn and reminded.
"A Christmas present for your sister?" Fred remembers Albert getting a Gryphon last year.
"Well, a birthday present." Albert answered noncommittally, but he was thinking how much Galleon this thing was worth.
