Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 919: They are all profiteers


By the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were getting together to rest and warm up to pass the time, and they were chatting about boring trivia.

George pressed his body on the armchair, flipped through the recent Daily Prophet, and after reading the report of Rita Skeeter carefully, he said to Fred and Lee Jordan, who were playing cards next to him. : "I've been falling in love with Rita Skeeter recently."

"Don't really fall in love with her." Fred joked with a smile, "That woman is almost old enough to be your mother."

"I mean the article."

George continued to look down at the newspaper, reading the latest front-page news, which seemed to him to be a bit too much information. Although Sirius has thrown out a lot of blockbuster news a while ago, the latest issue of "Defense Guide" has not yet come out, we can only see what blockbuster news will be reported by "The Daily Prophet", and there is a search for Bad news for Ludo Bagman.

Ludo Bagman took almost all the Galleons in their pockets, and without Albert, their dreams would have ended before they even started.

Fred and George have never forgotten this feud.

"The woman's article is still so sharp, it's bad luck to be targeted by him."

Lee Jordan has also read Rita Skeeter's articles in the Daily Prophet in recent days, and has to admit that there is some truth to the popularity of the other party's reports, although most of them are Talking nonsense.

However, everyone likes these gossip news.

"Sirius is so bold, he'll be in big trouble for doing that last time." George continued to flip through the paper, looking for more news about Bagman.

Ever since Rita Skeeter's woman brought the Ludo Bagman scandal out with astonishing efficiency, the former head of the Department of Sport at the Ministry of Magic was in disrepute.

No way, there are many wizards who bet on Bagman in the World Cup, and people who win or lose are scolding him.

In the midst of the roar of countless people, Bagman left the Ministry of Magic in despair and lived a life of debt avoidance.

Harry, who was playing wizard chess with Ron next to him, heard the three chatting about Sirius, so he looked up and asked, "What's going on with Sirius?"

"I don't know, but Fudge isn't a big belly," George said.

"Last time, I met Fudge at the Leaky Cauldron, and I thought he was pretty good." Harry didn't have much contact with Fudge, and his impression of the other party was not too bad.

"If I were you, I wouldn't trust politicians: those people only care about their status and power. They are the filthiest people in the world, even the toilet is cleaner than them." George closed the newspaper, yes Harry said, "These are the words of Albert, don't trust the integrity of politicians, because they have no integrity."

"I think it might be more appropriate to use smelly socks." Fred threw away the wizard card in his hand and complained, "The toilets in some places are still very clean."

Both Harry and Ron frowned. They had no idea that Albert would hate Fudge so much. Even Fred, George, and Lee Jordan had no respect for the Minister of Magic.

"I'm sure Mr. Minister doesn't like certain truths to be known, which will damage his reputation and the next election as Minister of Magic." Lee Jordan explained with a smile and shrug, "especially It's when people know that Fudge accidentally caused Peter Pettigrew to escape from Azkaban, and his situation will get worse, and now it is estimated that the idea of ​​killing Sirius is already there."

Harry opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say.

He also knew that Fred, George and Lee Jordan liked to talk about Albert and admired him very much, but he had to admit that Albert was right all the time, that feeling It's like people are willing to trust Dumbledore.

Harry Potter felt so absurd when the thought poured into his mind, when Albert had reached the heights of Dumbledore.

Well, although Harry doesn't want to admit it, it seems... Albert is really good, if he is as old as Dumbledore, maybe he will be the next Dumbledore, even Harry can't Do not admit this.

"What should I do now for the Triwizard Tournament? The officials sent by the Ministry of Magic to hold and manage the Triwizard Tournament are all done. Will the tournament continue?" Every time the Reds discussed Albert, it was quite frenetic, which sounded a bit like what Percy said during the summer vacation:

Mr. Crouch thinks...that's what I said to Mr. Crouch...Mr. Crouch thinks...Mr. Crouch told me...

Oh my gosh, it's crazy.

A Percy at home was enough for him, and Ron didn't want to see Fred and George do the same.

"It should continue. Albert said that the warriors signed a contract with the Goblet of Fire, and they could not give up no matter what, otherwise they would not be able to bear the price of the breach." Fred said without hesitation, "I dare to say that Albert He had guessed it earlier, so he didn't care too much about the outcome of the game."

"It's been a disaster, maybe it's the last one." Lee Jordan began to clear the wizard cards on the table.

"By the way, when are you going to officially sell the wizard card?" Ron reached out and picked up a delicate wizard card. After several years of accumulation, the wizard card became more and more refined.

"Next semester."

"When the time comes, we will advertise, open the owl mail order service, and sell the product to Hogwarts students, making final preparations for opening a store after graduation."

"Anderson really intends to help you open a shop, a shop like the Joko Joke Shop." Ron's face was full of envy, and he also wanted such a good friend, "However, except for canary biscuits, How many new products have you prepared?"

"You will never be disappointed, there are a lot of interesting things."

"Including wizard cards?" Harry asked curiously. "How much are you going to sell this for?"

"Two Wests make a pack, and there will be five wizard cards in it." Lee Jordan introduced, "The wizard card deck is one Galleon."

"It's really expensive, it's just a profiteer." Ron looked at the three in front of him with weird eyes.

"Is it expensive? No, you can play as long as you spend 1 Galleon to buy a deck of cards." Lee Jordan looked at Ron with the eyes of a poor man and said, "You don't have to buy a supplementary card pack. , and as long as you join the wizard card club and are willing to participate in the game, we will give away some free card packs every year. To be honest, the cheapest wizard chess is more than one Galleon.”

Ron opened his mouth, eager to refute, and then heard Lee Jordan continue, "If you don't even think this thing is expensive, then the things Fred, George, and Albert invented, that's for sure. They can't afford it, they need two sikos for any candy."

"Are you crazy about money?" Ron looked at the Weasley twins in disbelief. "A candy costs two xicols?"

"There is a reason why we dare to sell it so expensive." Fred and George looked at each other, put their hands on Ron's shoulders, and said with a smile, "If you want to get sick, our skipping candy will be It can make you sick right away."

"You want to be sick when you have a sick mind." Ron angrily broke free of the twins.

"No, there are always times when someone wants to get sick." Fred shrugged, "After eating the skipping candy, we can guarantee that even experienced professors will feel that you urgently need to go to the school hospital, as long as You leave the classroom, you can take the other half of the antidote and get back to normal quickly. Then, the rest of the time is free for you.”

Looking at the stunned Ron, Fred and George patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "We tested it ourselves, it's safe, fast, and harmless."

"Sounds like a good thing," Harry muttered. "Give me a copy of every kind of escaping candy."

If there was such a good thing back then, Harry would definitely have been sick and hospitalized every time he took Lockhart's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"We're not ready to sell it yet, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the next semester." Fred explained helplessly, "Of course, if you want to book in advance, you can pay first and be the first to book in advance. customers, we can give you a 20% discount, but no one else can enjoy such a discount."

"There are some inventions, or give me a copy of everything!" Harry was very interested in the twins' inventions.

"Wow, are you sure Harry?"

Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all made exaggerated expressions, reminding them, "It's going to take a few hundred Galleons."

"Hundreds of Galleons, how can it be so expensive, is this a robbery?"

Harry and Ron were also taken aback by the high price.

"Of course it's expensive. A few hundred Galleons is still cheap. If you want to customize it, the price will be even more expensive." George got a weekly magazine from nowhere and handed it to Harry.

"What's this?" Harry asked, taking the magazine.

"Our catalog," George explained proudly.

"It's all inside?"

Harry and Ron looked at each other. That was too many.

"Everything is, but some things need to be customized by Albert alone, and they are expensive." Fred flipped the magazine to the protective equipment section.

"There are several kinds of fireworks in this magazine. The cheapest one requires two cigars, the most expensive is 20 Galleons to buy a deluxe explosion, and there are special customized versions, the price is negotiable. "Lee Jordan said to Ron, "So, wizards really aren't expensive, even pretty cheap."

"You guys also sell invisibility cloaks?" Harry asked in surprise when he found out that there were invisibility cloaks for sale.

"Well, that's right." Fred explained, "It's actually a travel cloak with a disillusionment spell or a blinding technique. It can be invisible at first, but it will gradually lose its invisibility effect over time. Not very useful, but more than enough to fool Filch."

"However, why is there such a big difference in price?" Ron found that the cheapest invisibility cloak cost fifteen Galleons, and the most expensive cost three hundred Galleons. times. "

"The quality is different. The 300 kind is a very delicate cloak even if it loses its magic power. The material is silk, it is a special custom-made one, and it needs to be ordered with Albert." Fred shrugged. "Of course, the invisibility lasts longer."

"I found out that Anderson is a profiteer!"

Looking at Ron's entire catalogue magazine, the most expensive among them are custom-made products~IndoMTL.com~, which also requires a temporary reservation and a deposit of 100 Gallons, and the cheapest custom-made product needs a Hundreds, and the most expensive ones cost five thousand. It is said that it is a protective equipment made of a whole set of dragon skins, which can completely resist ordinary curses and can greatly weaken the power of black magic.

"How can you say that."

The three looked at each other and said in unison, "Albert is a profiteer."

Just then, Hermione walked into the common room out of breath

"What's the matter, Hermione?" Ron asked suspiciously.

"Do you know where Albert is?" Hermione said urgently.

"I don't know, maybe I'm looking for Hagrid." Fred asked suspiciously, "Are you looking for him?"

"Something bad happened." Hermione grabbed Harry's arm, pulled him up from his seat, and said quickly, "Harry, come with me."

"What happened?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"Please, come with me first, I'll tell you on the way." Hermione took Harry and walked out of the corridor, Ron got up and followed, leaving the three of them looking at each other.

"What's the matter, Hermione?"

After following Hermione out of the common room, Harry looked at Hermione, who was nervous and impatient.

"Winky broke down," said Hermione, trembling.
