The beginning of the new school year was full of gunpowder. Principal Dumbledore was still amiable on the surface, but most of the professors and some shrewd students felt the coldness and sternness hidden under his calm face, and the school was also undercurrents.

As soon as the term started, the two major clubs in the school led by Voldemort and Longbottom started a powerful offensive to recruit new students.Voldemort's mutual aid club originally only invited students who had outstanding performance in different subjects in each grade, but after the start of the new semester, the mutual aid club changed the style of the previous elite line, not only lowered the threshold for joining the club, but also added Many new interest groups, such as: Quidditch Tactics and Strategy Group, Magical Creatures Group and even the Dark Magic Group and so on.There are various, varied, and diverse types. Any member of the club can propose the establishment of a new group. As long as it is reasonable, does not violate the school's regulations and can be carried out in the school, Voldemort will basically agree, and even Pay out of your own pocket for some outlandish subjects, and provide activity funds and venues for this part of the students.

Voldemort has never been in the business of losing money. While providing funds for these remote research students, he also requires them to submit their research results or experimental records every month, as well as the data involved in the research, etc. All have to be handed in. These things seem to be useless, but in Voldemort's huge development plan, these things eventually turned into the cornerstone of the New Kingdom.

It turned out that the members of the mutual aid club were all upgraded to elite members at the beginning of the new school year, and each of them had a different club badge from the newly joined ones.In the entire club, as long as you perform outstandingly in your group, you can ask President Voldemort to upgrade your membership level through the group leader. The higher the level of a member, the more resources you can use in the club. The more help, equipment and other aspects, this is definitely a huge temptation for some students who like to do research.

In the mutual aid club, not only can students get explanations from professors or other senior students during club activity time, but they can also conduct academic exchanges and exchange items with different group members.The mutual aid club has set up a trading area for this purpose, and any member can consign the things they make, or exchange with others for what they want.

But here is the most basic requirement, that is, no matter what you take out, it must be made by yourself.Harry is currently responsible for the supervision of this area, while the task of identifying the items is handed over to Xiaobai. Harry sets the corresponding selling price for the items according to the identification list given by Xiaobai.

Seeing Voldemort's mutual aid society rapidly expand in an explosive manner, both Longbottom and Ron couldn't sit still. Although their Fox Society had the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore as their backing, it lacked some outstanding highlights. Therefore, in the face of the impact of the mutual aid society, it was already on the verge of collapse. Without Professor Dumbledore's weekly lectures, the number and quality of the staff were deteriorating, which caused both of them a headache.

Longbottom watched helplessly as the mutual aid club flourished in the school like a flowering earth. As the president of the Fox club, he had gone to the professors of various subjects more than once, asking them to help him during his club activities. The club members provide individual tutoring, but because of the composition of the staff, most of the people who join the Fox club are lively little lions of Gryffindor. What they are most afraid of is studying, and they even stay away from these professors.Longbottom's actions not only failed to reverse the unfavorable situation, but actually caused the number of quitters to continue to rise.

"Neville, there are three more first-year students who have quit the club this year. What should we do? The number of people who quit the club this week has exceeded ten!" Ron looked at the club withdrawal application and the club badge in his hand, and looked at Long with a sad face. Barton said.

"Hey! I have received several copies here too!" Longbottom said, he also took out the same thing and put it on the table.

"Why do you say they quit the Fox Club? What did we do wrong! Provide them with enough space for activities, and the professor also agreed to individual tutoring, and the two of us taught them various and commonly used topics in private. Magic spells, but why do they quit one after another! Could it be because Dumbledore is not teaching me magic alone?" Ron counted his advantages with his fingers, and was very puzzled by the behavior of those students .

"Ah!" Longbottom sighed deeply, his brows furrowed more and more when he saw the application for resignation in front of him, and the deep boredom on his face could not be dispelled at all.

"Let's ask Professor Dumbledore! He must have a good solution!" Ron suggested.

"No! Now the members of the Order of the Phoenix are busy arresting Sirius who escaped from prison. The professor is already very worried about this, so let's stop bothering him with such trivial matters! Besides, if we even If you can't handle things, how can you fight Voldemort's soul piece!" Longbottom rejected Ron's proposal.

"Dang, clang, clang!" Just as the two were discussing the solution, there was a knock on the door of the club office.

"Comein!" Longbottom and Ron sat upright solemnly, looking towards the door.

"Hey, Neville! Oh, Ron, you're here too!" It was the Weasley twins who came in.

"George, Fred? What's the matter?" Seeing the guilty faces of the two, Longbottom suddenly had a very bad feeling.

"Hmm..." George and Fred looked at each other, and it was Fred who finally said, "Neville, in fact, we are here today to submit an application for resignation!" After finishing speaking, the two handed over the two applications and the club badge Put it on the desk in front of Longbottom.

"George! Fred! Why do you two want to quit the society? Don't you want to join the mutual aid society run by the vicious Slytherin?" Ron stared at his twin brother angrily, his eyes were about to burst out Here comes the fire.

"Ron, calm down first!" Longbottom firmly held Ron, who was about to jump violently.Looking at the twins in front of him calmly, he asked peacefully: "George, Fred, can you tell me why you quit the society? I don't believe that you left here just to join the mutual aid society. Don't worry, I won't Prevent you from leaving, but please tell me the reason for leaving!"

"Hmm..." George scratched his head, and said, "Actually, what Ron said is not entirely wrong. We actually received an invitation from the mutual aid club last year, and we have also participated in several club activities. This time we quit the club because we The two have been too busy recently and have no time to participate in club activities, so this decision was made!"

"No time?" Ron sneered at the explanation of the two, and said: "You two are watching the errands in class, and you are bored all day long! If you don't want to participate, just say so, what kind of bad excuse are you making!"

"George is right! We really don't have time right now!" Fred took out several small items from the pocket of his large wizard robe and put them on the table. He said complacently, "These are all It is our latest research result! Because we have to make a lot of these things and develop new products, we are very, very busy now, and we don’t have any time to participate in the club activities here!"

Fred said, picked up one of the wands and introduced to them: "This is a transformation wand, hold it and release magic, you will turn yourself into a bird, as for what kind of bird you will turn into, it depends on you. Good luck! And this one, this one is smelly candy, after eating this candy, different flavors will be produced on your body..."

When talking about these research products, both George and Fred showed proud expressions on their faces.

"Are you quitting the company just because of these funny rubbish things!" Ron stared at them angrily and said, "I'm going to tell mom all this! Let mom educate you! You two It’s too dishonest! It’s fine if you don’t study hard, and now you’re leaving the company because of it!”

"Cut! Tell Mom what you want! Anyway, we already told Mom! Now the things we make are not just boring gadgets, but real commodities! Do you understand? They can be sold for money Commodities! Just relying on our summer inventory and the things we made during this time, we have already earned our living expenses for a school year! And during the research process, we can find other people to communicate with any problem anytime, anywhere, The effect is much easier than the two of us studying in private! This multi-flavored deformed candy is the result of our joint research with others!" When Fred talked about his recent research results, his face immediately glowed red and he was in high spirits.

"That's right!" George nodded in agreement.

"You all did this in the mutual aid club, right?" Longbottom said with certainty.

"That's right, the laboratory is provided by the mutual aid club for free, and we also buy the raw materials from within the club. The price there is much cheaper than outside, but it only costs a few cents of the corresponding club! And the finished products we make can be placed directly on the The trading area within the mutual aid club. We have been busy doing this recently, and there is no extra time to do other things. There is no way to participate in the club activities here! After all, every time we research a new result now , the whole group will get a bonus of [-] Galleons and [-] club points per person! Moreover, as far as I know, many people who quit the group this time have the same original intention as ours!"

"Same as you?" Ron asked, pointing to the gadgets on the table in confusion, "Is this so possible? Don't they all study these things like you?"

"That's not true. Everyone can choose a different group according to their own preferences and expertise. Under the leadership of the group leader, we can study a lot of things. It's not just that we have a product like ours to get a bonus. Any group as long as You can get bonuses and corresponding club points if you make corresponding achievements!" George patiently explained to Ron and Longbottom.

"George is right. For example, the Quidditch tactical research team, they research out many actual combat plans every month, and then after theoretical evaluation and actual operation, rewards are given according to the final effect!" Fred added To: "There are no schools in the Mutual Aid Club, and many students have established several Quidditch teams to compete within the club, and the winning team will be rewarded accordingly! In fact, each team has its own set of Quidditch teams. Assessing methods, as long as you achieve results in your own field, you will be rewarded."

"Oh my God!" Ron said in disbelief: "There are dozens of groups in the mutual aid club. If each group gets a little achievement and rewards them with bonuses, how much will it cost? Where do they come from?" Rich?"

"I don't know about this! But I heard that Bai and a few members of the Malfoy family paid for it themselves. They even invested in many research projects that the professors couldn't carry out because they didn't have funds! Now there are many seniors All of my classmates are working as assistants for the professors! Moreover, White, the youngest son of the Malfoy family, is researching a brand new potion under the leadership of their dean. I don’t know the specifics! Alright, we’re going New experiment, bye!"

George and Fred didn't want to say more, left the application for withdrawal and the club badge and left quickly.

"Neville, where do you think they got so much money? Even if the Malfoy family is rich, they can't just let them go for nothing! They are only in the second grade, so the family probably won't give them so much money Ah! Do you think the so-called bonuses they said are deceitful?" Ron is still unwilling to believe what George and Fred just said.

"It's impossible for the two of them to lie! And since those guys can make such a promise, they will definitely fulfill it!" Longbottom was much calmer than Ron at the moment.

"Then what should we do? It's impossible for us to spend so much money to fight with them! Besides, our club is not divided into groups like that! Even if we want to reward, there is no good way!" Ron thought about it, I feel more and more that I have no future in the society, and my whole person is like a frosted eggplant.

"Actually, it's not impossible!" Longbottom said softly.

"Neville, have you figured out a solution? What are we going to do?" Ron jumped up from his chair and rushed to Longbottom. Looking at his unhurried appearance, he asked anxiously: " You mean it! What can I do?"

"Hehe...Although they give each group a hundred gold Galleon bonus, it's not much distributed to everyone, and there are not many students who are very short of money in the school, and more students are still curious, so join them all at once. Going to the Mutual Aid Club is just a new idea, as long as we can make club activities more interesting and novel, we will definitely attract more people to come!" Longbottom said, looking outside the Forbidden Forest , with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Neville, you don't want our members to explore the Forbidden Forest, do you?" Ron said, his tongue was a little knotted.

"Hehe... You guessed right, that's what I thought! Do you think this is attractive enough?"

"Of course! But are you sure we can do this? What if someone is injured or dies?" Ron was still a little worried, but his inner curiosity gradually gained the upper hand, so he said, "Let's tell Dumbledore first Give the professor a call, and then find a few professors or members of the Order of the Phoenix to take us in, this will not only satisfy everyone's curiosity, but also ensure everyone's safety! It would be even better if we could collect some herbs by the way!"

"Yes, without further ado, let's go to Professor Dumbledore now!"

Longbottom and Ron went ahead and got the support of Professor Dumbledore. After only three days, they solemnly announced the Fox Club's activity project for this semester - the Forbidden Forest Expedition!Although Longbottom was very clumsy in learning magic, under Dumbledore's careful training for many years, he was able to accurately capture the hearts of the students.As soon as this move came out, many students who wanted to quit the club stopped their actions, and many fools joined the club again.

"My lord, what is the purpose of Longbottom's trick? Don't they know the danger of the Forbidden Forest? Although they wrote on the club activity form that only members of the third grade and above can participate, I found that many low-level All the students from the same grade mixed in, and they didn't stop them at all! And because of them, the club activities on our side have reduced a lot of people, and basically no one participated in some groups!" Draco looked at the report in his hand, Said with some worry.

"Brother, don't worry about it! This kind of guy who fishes for three days and spends two days drying nets will never achieve great things. It would be a good thing to leave early! Since they think Fox Club is better, go there! Anyway, we don't win by the number of people!" Xiaobai interjected while adjusting the potion in his hand.

"Xiaobai is right! We suddenly see unlimited
