Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 405: Knowledge is wealth

The effect of the happy spell faded away by lunchtime, and the smile on Albert's face faded. As he ate, he listened to Fred and George discussing the possibility of making laughing taffy, both of whom were trying to use happy spells in each other's pumpkin pie, of course to no avail.

"Looks like your laughing taffy is about to fail." Lee Jordan poked the cursed pumpkin pie with his fork and asked Albert, "Is this stuff still edible? ?"

"Probably not."

"What?" Lee Jordan was a little confused.

"I remember that there are magical animals and plants that can achieve a similar effect." Albert raised his hand and tapped his forehead, and began to flip through the knowledge about potions and magical animals in his mind, "Oh, yes, it's Pu Fluffy, that thing can be equipped with laughter potion, I think it should be able to make your laughter toffee with laughter potion."

"Laughter potion?" Fred and George could see the joy and excitement on each other's faces, but they didn't expect that they could really create a laughing taffy.

"There really is such a thing." Although Lee Jordan didn't doubt Albert's words, he couldn't help but ask.

"Certainly, the famous potions master Sigismund Butch has a reference to the laughter potion in his "Book of Potions". However, this book is in the restricted area." Albert A vague reminder, "Be careful when you go to borrow books, don't get caught by Filch."

"It's not the first time we've been there, we know what to do." Fred and George gave Albert a reassuring look.

"Well, that's right." Albert added, "You can also use the leaves of Aliot, which is one of the ingredients of the laughter potion. If the antidote is to be used, let me think about it... um, I Remember that heartworms produce a syrup."

"You can also try the two ingredients upside down. You should be able to make a sentimental candy. As for how to mix the ratio, you need to try it yourself." Albert gave the two of them casually. some advices.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

"As expected of Albert!"

At this moment, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all opened their mouths and stared in astonishment. They didn't expect to be able to do this, even saving the time to find the antidote, and Albert Give them clear hints.

The next moment, Fred and George made a gesture of reaching for something. One of them took out a quill, the other took out a notebook, and mixed a series of velvet velvet, laughter potion, Sigismund Butch, Book of Potions, Aliot's leaves, and heartbreaker syrup. note down the keywords.

When they are free, they go to the library to look up relevant materials. The twins also know that Albert has no time and will not help them research these things. They can only rely on their own time and energy to try. However, now that there is key technical support, the only thing left is to formulate the ratio of the medicament and manufacture the corresponding antidote.

"Laughing toffee is good, but it always feels like it won't sell for much." Fred and George glared at Lee Jordan as soon as he finished speaking.

"That's right." Albert nodded. "It's impossible to make a lot of money by laughing at toffee."

"Can you shut up," Fred and George said in unison.

"Actually, you can use this research to make food that can make people feel happy. This is the real money-making product."

"Eating food that makes you feel good?" Fred asked, frowning. "Is that what you said earlier? Can a laughter potion really do that?"

"I don't know, it's mainly about the proportions." Albert didn't know either. He just gave the Weasley twins some ideas and let them try it out. If they succeeded, it would mean a huge sum of money. If you fail, you will lose the cost of raw materials and time.

"Are you referring to magic food?" George asked, thinking that since Albert mentioned it deliberately, it should be very profitable, otherwise how could he pay attention?

"Honey Duke's sizzling bee candy is that sweet treat that lifts your feet a few inches off the ground when you suck." Albert casually gave the three an example, "I dare say that the inside of the candy Added a little dry Billywig sting."

Zizzi Bee Candy is indeed one of Honey Duke's best-selling products, and students who go to Hogsmeade will try the Zizzi Bee Candy and enjoy the wonderful feeling that their feet are off the ground.

The twins took notes again quickly, mumbling something to themselves: "That's a good idea, can..."

"Knowledge is the greatest wealth of human beings." Lee Jordan couldn't help but sighed, he also realized that with just a few suggestions from Albert, Fred and George could make more stores in the future. There are several kinds of products, and it's just what he said casually.

"Superhuman ingenuity is the greatest wealth of mankind." Albert corrected earnestly, "That's Ravenclaw's motto."

Lee Jordan was a little stunned, but heard Albert say again: "However, I agree with what you said just now: knowledge is the greatest wealth of mankind."

"If you don't work in the future, you can develop magical food, which should be very popular." Albert took out a note and wrote this on it.

Well, another way to make money.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who were sitting next to eating, were a little stunned when they listened to the brief conversation of the four of them.

Ron was even more surprised and speechless. He never thought that Albert's mouth was the so-called way to make money, and seeing Fred and George taking quick notes made him wonder if he was Shouldn't he also take out his notes and record what he just said.

Ron also knew that Harry had put money on Slytherin, but he just couldn't get his money back from Slytherin.

Fred and George must have won the bet too, and what makes him feel complicated is that although they haven't gotten their money back yet, they still believe they can get it back.

"Albert, do you know who Nicole Lemay is?" Hermione asked expectantly.

"Well, what are you asking about this?" Albert raised his eyebrows as he looked at the three of them with anticipation.

"We've been looking through a lot of books, but we haven't even found his shadow." Harry said hurriedly, "You must know that, right!"

It would save a lot of trouble if you could get the answer from Albert.

"Well, I know." Albert nodded to indicate that he did know.

"Who is he?" The three said in unison.

"Nicole Lemay, he is..." Albert's words suddenly stopped, then he looked at the three of them again, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems that you are guarding the big dog. Interested in something?"

"You know what's in there?" Hermione was surprised, she didn't understand how Albert knew all this.

Is it Hagrid?

"It has nothing to do with you." Albert said seriously: "Of course, it has nothing to do with me,"

"We just want to know who Nicole Lemay is, nothing else." Hermione tried to argue, she hadn't given up getting the answer from Albert.

"Don't get involved, it's a big hole with a lot of trouble in it." Albert reminded kindly: "Of course, if you want to know, go to the library to find it yourself, or ask Hagrid, He must know something."

"Hagrid wouldn't say it."

"How do you know that though?" Harry asked curiously, "I mean you seem to know a lot."

"Don't tell you~IndoMTL.com~ Albert shrugged, "You can't guess anyway. "

"I hate his bad taste." Ron muttered softly, he must have done it on purpose, or didn't know it at all.

Of course, that's just angry talk.

Just as the three of them were whispering together, Slytherin's Flint rushed out of the toilet in a fit of anger, seemingly ready to settle accounts with the person who attacked him.

After all, whoever gets this way back and forth several times is going to be outraged.

"Cover me."

Fred sneaked out his wand, gave George and Lee Jordan a look, and used their cover to cast a happy spell on Flint.

The next moment, the anger on Flint's face disappeared, replaced by a silly-looking smile, and then he couldn't help laughing.

The sudden laughter made everyone feel a little baffled.

In order to prevent the Slytherins from provoking trouble, Truman also surrounded him with a debt collection team.

"What are you doing?" Professor McGonagall, who was already smelling something wrong, walked towards him, frowned at the laughing Flint.

"He seemed to be ill, and suddenly he couldn't stop laughing." Truman raised his hand to cover his face, giving you the look of sickness.

"Perhaps, we should send someone to Madam Pomfrey, who obviously needs treatment."

"This is... a happy spell?" Professor McGonagall saw Flint's situation at a glance. "Who of you cast a spell on him."

"Spell? I thought Flint had a disease that would kill him if he didn't laugh." Lee Jordan almost wrote shock on his face.

The members of the debt collection team gathered around couldn't help laughing, as if they were infected by Flint and looked very stupid.
