Hogwarts: I Can Still Learn

"Here, one for each of you, divide it between yourselves." Vincent yawned and handed the two drawstring bags to the twins.

Before I knew it, half a month had passed since the summer vacation (even though they were on vacation all year round).Fred and George went to the laboratory every day these days, either making medicine together or studying formulas together. They often lost track of time and fell asleep later every day.

But this also made Vincent feel the joy of studying with his good brothers for the first time in a long time!

"What is this?" George put his hand in and took it out.

"Ah~ha~ (yawning), huh? The space bag is for you to put things in."

"Oh, so that's what you were drawing this afternoon."

"Why don't I seem to see you using magic?"

"Well...it's just a magic circle. Even if you don't understand it, you just need to know that it is a magic item." Vincent explained vaguely. After all, he may be the only one in the world who knows about the existence of magic circles. He couldn't just take off his eyes and put them back on for them to see.

Vincent rubbed his eyes. It was almost time to go to bed. If he didn't go back, Elise might not even leave the door open for him.

Why...why am I already living a life of working more than ten hours a day even before I go to school!

"Let's go, it's time to go back. Put out that pot..."

"It's a developing potion." x2

"Yes, developing potion."

Fred and George seemed to have a principle when preparing potions: they would not make potions that were not interesting.For example, they never deserve those healing potions...unless they're as interesting as pick-me-ups.

Although this developing potion is not fun, after knowing that it can make photos move, they will boil it on a whim.

"Wait!" After Vincent locked the door, he seemed to have remembered something and stopped the two brothers who were about to go upstairs to rub the fireplace.

"Come early tomorrow and take you to a good place!" Let me show you what a man's paradise is...

He gave the two of them a "you know" smile.

Fred and George also looked at each other and exchanged a "you know" look...

……

……

"That's it?"

"So, this is what you call a 'good place'?" Fred exclaimed in an exaggerated voice, specifically emphasizing the word "good place" and not hiding the disgust in his tone.

There is a second-hand bookstore in the corner of Diagon Alley. In addition to selling books, this place also sells scraps. Ordinary passers-by usually walk around, but at this time, there are three young boys standing in front of this store, and they can't help but wonder. Make people look at you.

"Isn't it good? Otherwise, where do you think I am going to take you?" Vincent asked with a frown. He didn't understand. Is there any place in the world that is more pleasant than a bookstore... Oh, have!library!

"Knockturn Alley!" x2

Tsk!Sure enough, little brats can't understand the happiness of real men.

"This is a great place! I can often find out-of-print books here..." With that said, Vincent turned around and walked into the store, leaving the twins behind.

"...And it's cheap!" Seeing that they hadn't come in yet, he added.

"George, let's go to the Hopping Magic Joke Shop!" Fred said to his brother.

"That's a good idea."

"No! Come in and take a look, you will like it here!" Hearing that the two guys were trying to run away, Vincent hurried back and dragged them in.

The second-hand bookstore is not as tidy as Flourish and Blott Bookstore. Stacks of old books are piled everywhere, and there are not many people. However, people come here often. They are either experts like Vincent who specialize in searching for banned and out-of-print books, or they just buy them. Poor people who can't afford a new book...or people who are poor and knowledgeable.

"Oh! It's you! Little Vincent!" The shopkeeper Thompson raised his head from behind a pile of old crucibles. From his tone, it was obvious that he and Vincent were old acquaintances.

"What are you looking for this time? The Forbidden Book of Curses or the Forbidden Book of Potions?" He asked jokingly, the fat on his belly trembling due to his movements.

Vincent has been here many times. At first, Old Thompson paid attention to him because he was too young. But every time he came, he mostly bought some out-of-print and banned books. His frequent visits naturally attracted the attention of the shop owner.

Vincent didn't bother to pay attention to him. This man had watched him grow up and wouldn't make a fuss about his unique taste.

"Don't bother, I'll read it myself." He took the brothers Fred and George straight into the pile of books.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen you bring someone here... I thought someone as withdrawn as you wouldn't have friends." Thompson muttered in a low voice and buried his head back in the scrap pile. He didn't know who he was talking to. Listen.

"If you are not interested, just wait, I will stay for a while and then leave..." Vincent said to the twins without raising his head.

Seeing their lack of interest, Vincent continued, "You two brats want to go to Knockturn Alley? You won't be fooled every minute if you go."

"Have you been there?" George selectively ignored the sarcasm in Vincent's tone and came over excitedly.

"Of course - I haven't been there!" Vincent lied with a straight face, "But there are almost all dark wizards there, and the stores you buy are all things related to dark magic... Oh, you kids, it's better not to go there. .”

"Aren't you a child too?"

"Then how did you know?"

Fred and George asked at the same time.

Seeing that the two of them had been deceived, Vincent was overjoyed, moved his face closer, and said mysteriously: "I know there is a magic potion that can temporarily change a person's appearance and look like an adult..."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go back and match now!" The eyes of the two brothers were shining with excitement.

"Tsk! Why are you so anxious! That magic potion is called polyjuice potion! The formula is recorded in the forbidden book, and it will take at least half a month to brew."

"Tch! You don't even have the formula."

"Make me happy for nothing."

"I have it! Of course I have it! It's at home. You guys wait for me here. When I've seen enough, I'll take you to buy the materials."

"...Actually, you just want to find an excuse to stay away."

"Then I'll write you the recipe and you can go buy it and make it yourself." Vincent pretended to be reluctant, but actually he was thinking:

! ! !Plan pass!

You have to touch live locusts and lacewings yourself, but don’t blame me for not warning you.

ah!It feels so good to have someone help me deal with these disgusting operations!

But...a question suddenly occurred to me.

I don’t seem to be able to swallow the stuff that comes out of these things...
