Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 583: Sheep Potter

For Harry, Hermione, and Ron, making a deal with a stranger like Mundungus Fletcher was undoubtedly a difficult task. They have never had a similar experience, and they have no confidence in the Mr. thief. The possibility of the two parties finally reaching a deal is really low.

After some hesitation, Hermione finally wrote to Mundungus Fletch, in which she mentioned that she was a customer introduced by Albert and wished to purchase a small amount of bicorns from Mundungus horns and skin of the African tree snake.

When Mundungus Fletch received Hermione's letter, he was really confused. He didn't know Hermione Granger at all, and even suspected that the other party had sent him an envelope with stuffing.

However, from what I read in the opened envelope, I found that the other party was actually a customer introduced by Anderson.

Mundungus Fletcher holds the letter in his hand and whispers the items he needs: "Bicorn horn and African tree snake skin?"

This seems to be the raw material for making compound medicine

In general, these two raw materials are only needed when brewing compound medicines.

Of course, the thief, Mr. Mundungus, was able to guess at the first time what kind of potion Miss Granger, who wrote to herself, needed these two ingredients to brew, more because he had helped people find it before. The horns of the bicorn and the skin of the African tree snake were a little troublesome, so I was very impressed.

In the black market, it is not particularly difficult to obtain small quantities of bicornuate horns and African tree snake skins.

After all, in the black market, there will always be a few shady guys who like to use compound potions to disguise themselves.

Mr. Mundungus, the thief, decided to accept the deal, which was a good deal, and by the way, gave Anderson a good impression of the young Anderson. Every once in a while, the other party will ask him to help collect some things. Although they are all quirky things, they can always make a small profit. This kind of long-running business, Mundungus is naturally happy to maintain it.

Mundungus first rummaged through his small suitcase to see if he had stored bicorn horns and African tree snake skins.

However, the rest of the material in the suitcase is of little value.

Mundungus scolded and closed the suitcase, and replied to Hermione Granger by the way, offering a high price of 10 Galleons.

If the other party is willing to pay, he can be sure to get the raw materials for the other party.

As for slaughtering fat sheep?

Sorry, there is no reason not to slaughter the fat sheep sent.

It's not Anderson's guy who always hits the bottom line of what he's called.

However, after releasing the owl, Mundungus suddenly regretted it again. He was a little worried that Granger would give up the deal with him because the price he offered was too high, and wanted to catch up with the release. The owl that sent him took back the letter he had sent and then corrected it, but the owl just didn't want to give him the letter, and even pecked Mundungus' arm, causing him to bark in pain.

"Hope this deal doesn't go away!" Mundungus muttered, examining the wound on his arm.

Not long after, Hermione received a reply from Mundungus, but the other party opened the letter and offered a high price of ten Galleons. Hermione felt that her breathing was about to stop, and her pocket There's definitely not that many Galleons in it, and even with that kind of money, Hermione wouldn't spend a lot of Galleons on bicorn horns and African tree snake skins.

"That guy must be crazy." Hermione murmured, clutching the stationery tightly in both hands, "Have to convince Harry to let him give up."

"Convince me of what?"

At this moment, Harry and Ron walked over, sat down next to them, looked at Hermione, who was clutching the letter paper, and asked, "Whose letter, did Mundungus reply? ?"

Hermione hesitated for a moment before handing Harry the letter she had just received.

Ron and Harry immediately put their heads together.

"Ten Galleons, must he be crazy?"

Ron felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by the weight of ten Galleons. Those ingredients were not worth one Galleon at all. As Albert said, the other party offered ten times the price. Treat them as fools.

Harry is not short of money, but ten Galleons still make him feel a pain in the flesh.

After all, no matter how rich he is, the legacy stored in the Gringotts vault will be used a little less.

However, considering the money it cost, he didn't need to mess with Snape's Potions class, and he finally agreed to pay the Galleon for the bicorn horn and the skin of the African tree snake.

" Write him back and I'll buy it!" Harry said through gritted teeth.

He, Harry Potter has money.

"Don't worry Harry, we'd better go to Albert for advice." Hermione hurriedly stopped Harry's decision, "I don't think you want to be slaughtered as a fat sheep by the other party!"

Ron fully agrees with Hermione's proposal that they should go and question Albert before they get slapped by Mundungus.

Ten Galleons are too expensive, and the bicorn horn and the skin of the African tree snake are not worth the price at all.

If ten Galleons were really needed, Ron would rather agree to Hermione's shaky plan.

After all, the money couldn't be split equally between three people, and Ron and Hermione didn't have that many Galleons in their pockets.

It took a lot of time for the three of them to finally find the opportunity. During breakfast, they blocked Albert outside the hall and took the opportunity to ask each other for advice.

Albert read the letter from Mundungus Fletcher that Harry handed him and commented, "It's expensive, a small amount of bicorn horn and African tree snake skin are not worth it at all. This price. Although it is not surprising to say that it is ten times the black market, it is usually slaughtered as a fat sheep.”

"How much do you think it's worth?"

“Those ingredients are probably worth one Galleon~IndoMTL.com~Three to five Galleons, that guy Mundungus Fletcher would definitely be willing to sell you something.” Albert thought for a while , and gave Harry a price estimate.

Harry is very depressed, absolutely no one wants to be fattened by others, but if they can't get these two ingredients, they need to venture into Snape's office.

"Thank you," Harry said gratefully, "or I'd be tricked by him."

"You can go to Hogsmeade to trade with him. Talk to him face to face, pay with one hand, take the goods with the other, don't pay first, or he will definitely not deliver the goods to you." Albert reminded kindly. , "You need to be very careful when dealing with those guys, so as not to be fooled by them with fakes, which often happens in the black market."

"We can't go to Hogsmeade." Harry was very depressed. He found that buying things on the black market was more troublesome than expected. Not only did he have to prevent himself from being slaughtered as a fat sheep, he also needed to be careful that the other party gave fake goods. Will there still be cases of black eating black?

"There is a secret passage on the fifth floor of the castle that leads to the outside of the castle. When Fred and George were in first grade, they ran to Hogsmeade through the secret passage." Albert glanced at Hermione, Continue: "If you are not in a hurry, you can wait until the next time you go to Hogsmeade, and let Fred and George drop by to help you deal with Mundungus Fletcher. They have experience in this area."

The three of them looked at each other, never thinking that there was a secret passage leading to the outside of the school.

"If you're in a hurry, you'll have to pay them an errand to go to Hogsmeade instead of you."

Ron listened to Albert's words with a very complicated expression on his face. In fact, he also wanted this so-called errand fee.
