Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 852: Prepare well


"As expected of you, even Harry let you fool you."

After seeing Harry walk away in a daze, Lee Jordan smiled and said to Albert, "Actually, I always thought it was very suitable for me to go to church as a priest, and I can definitely fool a large number of believers."

"Don't tell me, if I were Harry, I would believe what Albert said." Fred was not joking at all, he really believed the two things Albert mentioned. thing.

"You think there's something wrong with Mad-Eye, too?" George asked, frowning.

"Can't you guys have a little sense of humor?" Lee Jordan complained. In fact, he also believed Albert's words, although this friend always liked to fool others with the truth.

"You still remember that when Harry first entered school, Quirrell stole the Philosopher's Stone incident, and Professor Quirrell was said to be possessed by a mysterious man." Albert began to count Harry's three years in school. what happened in.

"There was a monster attack in the secret room the year before last. Although Lockhart was not involved, he was an out-and-out liar. He was attacked and has not yet been discharged from the hospital."

"And last year's Black Prison escape, Harry was also involved, and Professor Lupin was actually a werewolf, and he was a good friend with Black, and finally a Peter who pretended to be a mouse and pretended to be dead for more than ten years appeared. ." Fred thought it was normal for Harry to be persuaded by Albert, because even he felt that way.

There are naturally coincidences in the world, but one after another is not a coincidence.

"Do you think there is something wrong with the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor this semester?" Lee Jordan realized that the three of them were not joking, and restrained the smile on his face and began to think about the reason, "By the way, you know this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. Who is it?"

"Mad-Eye."

"Mad-Eye?" Lee Jordan was a little confused, apparently a nickname.

"Mad-Eye, Alastor Moody." George shared what he knew, "Professor Moody is said to be a retired Auror and an old friend of Professor Dumbledore, and Dad respects him very much. "

"By the way, Professor Moody seems to be in trouble this morning. Mr. Diggory said he thought someone was trying to break into his house, and there was a lot of noise. Dad hurried away early in the morning to help He fixed it, and I dare say the Daily Prophet will be covering it for a while," Fred added.

"If there's something wrong with that Mad-Eye man, maybe, he was attacked this morning, and someone was trying to control what he was doing at Hogwarts." Lee Jordan couldn't help laughing as he spoke. .

"What are you laughing at?" George asked in confusion.

"It is obviously impossible to use the Imperius Curse to control a person, and it is obviously impossible for a wizard as smart as Dumbledore to notice it." Albert explained to the two for Lee Jordan, "Also, Mad-Eye is a very powerful Auror. He must have a certain resistance to the Imperius Curse. Take myself as an example. As long as it is not a very strong Imperius Curse, it should be able to resist. Veela in the World Cup is also It didn't affect me too much."

Fred and George were both a little embarrassed. In the World Cup final, they were confused by Veela, and they were the two of them in the box. Ron laughed at them afterwards.

"What if the wizard who attacked him just wanted to disguise himself as him and sneak into the school?" George looked at Albert and asked, "If it were you, could you disguise yourself as someone else through clever shape-shifting magic? I know that Aurors at the Ministry of Magic use shapeshifting magic to change their appearance."

"I haven't tried it. If you give me some time to practice, I should be able to do it, but I think it would be very difficult to use shape-shifting magic to pretend to be someone specific." Albert was confident in his own shape-shifting magic. He said, "If you want to pretend to be someone else, I think the other party should use a compound potion, which will make it easier to see flaws, especially if you want to hide from a clever wizard like Dumbledore, the transformation magic is easier to see. Weakness."

"But he can't drink the potion all the time, that would require a lot of compound potions." Lee Jordan felt that it was unlikely that someone would use potions to lurk in schools for a long time. It would take a month to brew the potion, which means If someone really wants to pretend to be a professor through the potion, they need to consume a lot of potion, and there is a risk of exposure.

"It may be difficult to reach the level where a small cup of compound medicine lasts for 12 hours, but the medicine prepared by a skilled pharmacist should be fine for 10 hours." Albert judged at the level of a pharmacist, " The amount of potion required is definitely not as large as you think."

"If the Moody that appeared tonight is a fake, then the curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts class is too terrible. Mad-Eye will be unlucky before he takes office. The guy who pretended to be him and went to work at the school, I can't even think about it, I might end up in Azkaban prison someday." George ended the conversation jokingly, knowing that everyone would be staring at Moody tonight to see if the guy was a fake.

"By the way, do you read magazines? If you don't, borrow me first." Lee Jordan no longer struggled with the truth of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. What an impostor, this semester has been lively, and Peter Pettigrew a while ago was really miserable.

"Let's see first."

Albert handed the "Defense Guide" magazine to Lee Jordan, took a comb from his pocket and gave Tom a haircut.

Albert knows the general content of the magazine. A few days before the start of school, Sirius and Lupin wrote many letters, discussing various matters of the magazine with him, and he also arranged the layout and giveaways of the "Defense Guide".

"The magazine even comes with a map of the Hogwarts castle." Fred spread out the map in the magazine, which was similar to a Marauder's map, and detailed the locations of classrooms, halls, and lounges and the shortest The route allows new students to integrate into the school faster through the map, avoiding the embarrassment of finding a classroom during the enrollment period.

"It was a gift for wizards who ordered magazines for four months in one go." Albert explained, "It's a small gift for new students. Of course, there are other gifts to choose from."

"What other gifts?" George asked curiously.

"Danger Warning" Albert said without hesitation.

"Your new invention?"

"I got the inspiration from the looking glass. The effect is to detect the surrounding of the house. If there is a malicious wizard, the danger alarm will sound an alarm. The advantage of this is that it is not prone to false alarms."

"There should be an upgraded version of this thing, right?"

The three of them immediately heard the business opportunity of the danger warning device. With Albert's character, the best thing will definitely not be sold, and now is not the best time to sell it.

One day the magic world really starts to turmoil, and this thing is sure to sell well.

"Yes, that thing is a rudimentary version, and there is a beta pocket watch, but I gave it to someone." Albert did not deny that the danger warning device is actually similar to a looking glass, but he adjusted the spell, Added some magic to it.

"Give it away?" Lee Jordan looked at Albert in disbelief.

"Idiot, it must be his girlfriend!" George could guess who Albert was giving away without even thinking.

"When will you get married." Lee Jordan said with a smile, "Remember to ask me to be the best man then."

"The best man is me," Fred said.

"It's time to guess the fist," George suggested.

"How do you feel, I mean this magazine, how do you feel after seeing it." Albert asked, changing the subject.

"I think it is very good, it should be a hot sale, at least it is very practical for ordinary wizard families." Fred gave a high evaluation, especially when he learned from Albert that the black magic of British wizards After the average level of magic defense, the more I feel that this magazine will be popular.

"Whether it is the analysis of the situation, the popular science of the Dark Mark and Death Eaters, or even the method of how to deal with the unsolicited dark wizard." George is very much the method given in the magazine: encounter danger Should run away immediately and try to notify the Ministry of Magic.

Although the practice is indeed a bit cowardly, what the magazine said makes sense. Ordinary wizards are not opponents of dark wizards at all, and saving their own lives is the best choice.

The magazine also teaches several spells to strengthen the protection of their own house, which is actually very practical. You must know that no one in the school teaches them this knowledge, and ordinary wizards don't even know how to strengthen the security measures of their own houses. .

"I feel that the content is a bit complicated, and the part of dealing with pests is completely made up. There is also how to identify, and it feels useless to deal with dangerous plants."

The "Defense Guide" is more like a professor teaching everyone about Defense Against the Dark Arts, but the content is more complicated, and it is divided into several areas.

For example, each issue will teach you several practical spells, such as disarming spells, stun spells, and obstacle spells. Teach you how to crack some evil spells, how to deal with some common pests, magical creatures, and dangerous plants, such as how to calmly deal with danger, and the correct treatment method after injury.

The last pages of the magazine are serialized stories, this issue: A Day in the Life of a Prisoner of Azkaban.

The "Defense Guide" has 48 pages, which is not much content, but it is not a lot compared to other magazines.

Of course, the price is not cheap. Ten silver coins can be used for one, which is a relatively high price in magazines, especially when people are panicked, it is a bit like taking advantage of the fire.

However, it is undoubtedly worth the price.

"If it was cheaper, I would definitely buy it." Lee Jordan muttered, "Ten silver coins are too expensive."

"Not a 50% discount." The price was given by Albert.

Just opened, in order to attract customers, in recent months, if you order in a unified way, you can get 50% off, and there is a free gift.

"Actually, I also think the price is too expensive. Please allow me to pay for your magazine before graduation." Fred returned the magazine to Albert with a smile.

"How much is your canary cookie?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"Seven silver pieces."

"Now, do you think it's expensive?"

"It's really expensive compared to other magazines, Xenophilius Lovegood's The Quibbler only costs a few nuts (a quarter of a sik)" Fred pointed out this fact.

"How many nut would you be willing to spend on a copy of The Quibbler?" Albert asked rhetorically. If you find fun in that magazine, I don't say it."

"Well, you're right, that's rubbish." Both Fred and George felt Albert was right, and they couldn't have fun with magazines anyway.

"Okay, you can always speak your mind." Lee Jordan shrugged, since he was determined to rub Albert's magazine anyway.

"Are you also planning to use this magazine as a breakthrough to sell Defense Against the Dark Arts props?" George felt that he had guessed Albert's plan, no wonder he was willing to spend time and energy to help Sirius start a business Magazine.

"I do have this idea." Albert does not deny that this is indeed part of the plan.

"I think we need a similar magazine to introduce our joke props," muttered Fred, "so that people can better understand our joke props and be able to pick and choose what they like at any time. Owl ordered."

"Didn't you already do it?" George was speechless, the advice Albert gave last time.

"Is there?" Fred was a little confused, why didn't he know.

It was still raining outside, and the four in the carriage gathered to discuss the future.

Making money and fulfilling their dreams obviously grab their attention more than anything else.

They chatted for a long time, even borrowing a pen from Albert to record the idea just mentioned. Lee Jordan was intrigued by Albert's proposal for wizard radio, and he thought he could test it out by setting up a radio station in the school.

Albert didn't say no, but said he couldn't help on the radio.

Fred and George found it interesting and offered to help, and the three quickly began discussing how to build a radio station, completely unaware that they were too busy.

The Hogwarts Express finally slowed down, it was still pouring rain outside the window, and there was a rumble of thunder in the air.

The students who just got off the train were instantly drenched by the rapid and violent rain. Even if they held up their umbrellas, they were soaked by the rain.

"It's so boring, let's go, I don't want to stay here in the rain." Fred urged.

The students who were dizzy by the icy rain had to bow their heads and move little by little with the flow of people~IndoMTL.com~ They left the dark platform and passed a rough and muddy road, finally in the wind and rain When they found a carriage without horses, everyone accelerated their pace and crowded in the direction of the carriage. Some of the unlucky ones even fell to the ground.

The four of Albert randomly picked a carriage and climbed in. After closing the door to isolate the cold wind from the rain outside, Fred noticed that Albert was not wet by the rain, and couldn't help asking: "You How?"

"I just turned my robe into a raincoat and my boots into rain boots." Albert explained, "Also, I'm wearing an umbrella so I won't get wet from the rain."

"You are well prepared, and I don't know if there is a Water Avoidance Charm." Lee Jordan said and looked at Albert.

"You can try to cover yourself with a bubble head spell, I'm sure it will protect you from the rain." Albert thought of a bad idea, "It might look a little funny, if you want, I can try it."

While speaking, Albert raised his wand and pointed at Lee Jordan, and the next moment, most of his body was covered in the blister spell, which just looked rather comical.

"Looks good, like in a big soap bubble."

"It just looks funny." Fred and George couldn't help laughing, and poked the foam outside with their fingers. Not to mention, the outer foam was so tough that it didn't burst.

Amid the laughter, the carriage jolted toward Hogwarts Castle.
