Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 568 No traitor, no business

  That night, the Weasley twins were burying themselves in copying the history of magic, while Albert and Lee Jordan sat by the window playing cards and teased them heartlessly.

"The Gryffindor team's first Quidditch opponent, Wood was drawn to the Slytherin team. That guy is now asking us to practice extra all day long, saying that he wants to defeat Slytherin's Nimbus 2001, and he will give everyone Crazy." Fred buried his head in the parchment and complained to Albert about it.

   At this moment, Kenneth Toller came to Albert's side, saying that he wanted to make a deal with him.

   "You want to sell amulets and exorcisms to the Muggle-born wizards at school?"

   Albert looked away from the card in his hand, looked at Kenneth Toller and asked, "Then what do you want me to do? Are you going to invite me to sell amulets together?"

   "We can cooperate." Kenneth Toller said without thinking, "If you have money, we can make it together."

hehe…

   "No one would spend money to buy that thing, and you won't make much money by reselling it." Albert naturally didn't believe the other party's nonsense, and tactfully refused.

   "Come with me." Kenneth Toller reached out to pull Albert, trying to pull him out of the common room, as if he planned to tell him something secret.

"alright!"

  Albert was very helpless. He didn't like flirting with strangers. The relationship between the two parties was not that good yet.

Just as Albert and Kenneth Toller left the common room, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all looked up at the backs of the two leaving, looked at each other and stood up together, Driven by curiosity, he followed secretly.

  Kenneth Toller glanced at Albert, and then at the three who followed secretly. Although there was a distance between the two, it was not difficult to guess what they were thinking from the appearance of the three.

   "Come here if you want to hear it!"

   Albert glanced at Kenneth Toller, and greeted Fred, George and Lee Jordan.

  The three guys walked over with a smile and greeted Kenneth Toller.

   "You should know the legend of the Chamber of Secrets." Kenneth Tolle glanced at the three of them, looked at Albert again, and began to get to the point.

   "I know." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, and after meeting the other's eyes, he understood what Kenneth Toller wanted to say, and was a little surprised that this guy actually knew these things.

   "I wrote to ask someone, and he told me that fifty years ago, Slytherin's chamber of secrets was once opened by the heir of Slytherin." Kenneth Toller said pretending to be mysterious.

   "We have known about this for a long time." George looked at Kenneth Toller with a strange face, and he thought the other party wanted to say something.

  The result, that’s it?

Kenneth Tolle choked on George's words, regretted letting the three of them come over to block him, glared at George dissatisfied, and continued: "At that time, there were many attacks in Hogwarts, which made the whole school People panicked, and eventually a Muggle wizard named Ravenclaw died, and the school was almost closed."

"Your news is very ill-informed. We knew about these things on Halloween." Fred's face was full of disappointment, as if he was saying to Kenneth Toller: I thought you knew something big Secret, it turned out that Albert was called out for this matter?

"In the end, the murderer was caught. It is said that the man later became the hunting ground guard in the school." Kenneth Toller ignored Fred's words and glanced at Albert. He knew that Albert and The gamekeeper was on good terms.

   "We have known these things for a long time." Lee Jordan said to Albert, "I think we should go back and continue playing cards!"

   "Listen to me." Kenneth Toller felt his chest suffocate, and wanted to punch these annoying guys in front of him to the ground.

   "I know what you mean, you think the attacks will continue." Albert finished speaking for Kenneth Toller directly.

   "Can you let me say it myself, you know I'm depressed like this." Kenneth Toller couldn't help complaining, he was surprised that Albert would know the information about the secret room. If he hadn't written home to ask, he must still be as confused as everyone else.

"Hagrid that... well, I mean Hagrid is not the heir of Slytherin. He was in Gryffindor College, how could he be the heir of the ghost Slytherin he saw? I was caught and used as an unlucky guy who took the place of the dead ghost." Kenneth Toller said these words without hesitation, "Now, the Chamber of Secrets has been opened by the heir of Slytherin again, and Filch's The cat will never be the first to be targeted, there will be attacks, there will be another panic in schools, and amulets and exorcisms will sell well."

   "You must be better at selling things than I am." Albert said honestly, "And I don't have the patience to sell things."

   "So, we can cooperate." Kenneth Toller looked into Albert's eyes, almost showing sincerity on his face.

   "Cooperation, how to cooperate?" Albert asked, "Do you want me to provide you with an amulet?"

   "Yes." Kenneth Toller gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of Albert."

   "If I want to sell something, I can ask Fred, George and Lee Jordan for help." Albert raised his hand and pointed to the three people next to him.

   The three grinned, looked at Kenneth Toller, and said in unison: "Yes, you are redundant."

"Don't say that, I can provide you with a lot of convenience." Kenneth Toller realized that he really made a wrong decision just now, and waved his hand, "We can make more money by cooperating, why not cooperate .”

"I don't intend to sell amulets. That thing is useless against the monsters in the secret room." Albert shook his head and said, "If you want to sell something, you might as well wholesale a bunch of looking glasses, at least looking glasses can still play a role." Some effect."

   "Looking Glass?" Kenneth Toller muttered softly, "Those things can be bought in Hogsmeade Village, who would be willing to buy them from me."

   "Are you trying to say that everyone buys amulets for peace of mind?" Albert looked at Kenneth Toller with a strange expression.

  Kenneth Toller: “…”

   "Albert can tell what you're thinking at a glance." The three of them gloated.

   "I'm not angry, I'm not angry." He took several deep breaths, "Some effective amulets, I think you should be able to make them?"

   "As I said, that thing has no effect on the monsters in the chamber of secrets."

   "You also said that they are just trying to reassure themselves." Kenneth Toller said seriously, "Many hawkers sell fake and inferior products. At least, we sell real products."

"us?"

  The three of them once again felt the cheekiness of the guy opposite.

   "I don't have the materials." Albert said, "If you can help me get the materials, I will cooperate with you, six or four points, I six you four."

   "Five to five points, I will help find materials."

   "Six to four points, I am six and you are four, you are not losing money." Albert checked, "And don't say that I made it."

   "Albert can handle it alone." George reminded.

   "What do you need?" Kenneth Toller compromised, adding, "If the material is too expensive, it will be five or five cents."

"Amethyst, or obsidian, guardian tree or purple shirt." Albert glanced and explained casually, "The first two are exorcisms, and the latter two can make amulets that drive away dark creatures. If you have other suitable materials You can bring them together."

   "As expected of you, I did not find the wrong person." Kenneth Toller was not bargaining, they were all bargains that were not very valuable.

"To be honest, the amulet is not as practical as a looking glass. If you can detect it in advance..." Albert couldn't help but stop here, suddenly thinking that this is a good idea. The basilisk is a dark creature. If you can create a device that can detect dark creatures siren, I don't need to worry about encountering a basilisk all the time.

  At least, it can be detected in advance and risks can be effectively avoided.

   Albert squinted his eyes involuntarily. He knew the manufacturing principle of the speculum. That thing can detect suspicious people. Why can't he modify it to detect basilisks or dark creatures?

"You get the materials first, and I'll help you make a finished product. If someone wants it, you can pay to order it, and then I'll make it for you." Albert looked up and said to Kenneth Toller, "If it can't be sold , the material cost is mine."

"good."

  Kenneth Toller left satisfied.

   "I don't think you need to cooperate with Kenneth." George said to Albert after Kenneth Toller left, "If you sell it yourself, the former is yours, and we can help you too."

"The amulet may have some effect, but that's all. It must have no effect on the monsters in the secret room." Albert shook his head and said, "Since Kenneth Toller wants to make some money, let him sell it. If you are unlucky and find out that something doesn’t work, you can’t blame me, and it’s estimated that few people spend money to buy it, so it’s not worth the trouble.”

   After all, the students' financial resources are limited, and it is not easy for them to spend a few Galleons.

   Just as the four of them were going back to the common room, they met Ginny, Fred and George's younger sister. She looked slightly pale and in a bad state of mind.

   "Your sister is sick?"

   "Percy said that Ginny has been having nightmares recently." Fred also frowned and said, "Mrs. Norris' murder made her very disturbed."

   "This is abnormal." Albert narrowed his eyes and said.

   "Unusual?"

"It's nothing. As a brother, you must fulfill your responsibilities as a brother. If Ginny has nightmares, take her to Madam Pomfrey. She knows how to make a potion that will prevent people from having nightmares," Albert said. After finishing the topic, looking at Ginny's back, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly, "If she's really emotionally unstable, let her drink a small amount of tranquilizer. I still have some, and I'll bring it to you when I go back."
