#34 - Chapter 34: Love for Talent
Seeing Sebastian suddenly appear, the Weasley twins didn't feel scared at all. Instead, they went forward, one on the left and one on the right, and grabbed his sleeves.
“That’s so cool! Professor Swan! How did you do that?!”
“Is that a Disillusionment Charm? Can you teach us?”
Hey, hey, hey!
Aren’t you supposed to be scared at a time like this?
So, my intimidation is this low, huh?
Looking at the grinning twins, Sebastian said in annoyance, “Teach you the Disillusionment Charm so you can sneak out at night later?”
“Follow me, gentlemen.”
Fred and George finally felt scared, worried about being handed over to Professor McGonagall.
Just thinking about Professor McGonagall’s stern face made them want to shiver.
If the impartial Professor McGonagall found out, not only would Gryffindor lose points, but they themselves would be severely reprimanded.
It wasn't until they walked into Sebastian's office that Fred and George completely relaxed.
Now it's alright. At most, points will be deducted.
Professor Swan is so kind and won't make things difficult for us.
In fact, Sebastian had been eyeing the twins for a long time! After all, these two little guys are famous geniuses in the original book!
Although the two have always been keen on pranks, they can also be regarded as small inventors.
They like to invent some prank products, such as Skiving Snackboxes, Extendable Ears, and the like.
Later, they opened a joke shop in Diagon Alley, which was very successful.
Usually, he doesn't have a suitable reason to approach these two treasures. Today, they just happened to fall into his hands.
Hehe.
What are you waiting for!
Recruit!
Must recruit!
Sebastian's capitalist soul burned again.
He planned to invest in them now and recruit them into Swan Alchemy after graduation, so that they could fully develop their talents.
As for the joke shop, he could also fund them to set it up, but he would need to find someone to manage it on their behalf.
For example, Mrs. Weasley would be very suitable.
When the children are all grown up, she will be bored at home alone, which can just solve the problem of re-employment.
After arranging for the two to sit on the sofa, Sebastian took out two cups and said kindly, imitating Dumbledore, “What would you like to drink, gentlemen?”
“I have pumpkin juice and butterbeer here, or, some Muggle drinks—Coke?”
Fred and George exchanged surprised glances, and then said in unison, “Coke!”
Seeing the black drink with bubbles, George was still a little hesitant.
Is this Coke?
Just like Charlie and the others described.
It just doesn't look like good stuff.
Why is it this color?
Fred didn't think too much, picked up the cup, and gulped it down.
He drank the entire cup in one breath, and then let out a long burp.
Burp.......
He wasn't shy at all, but looked at Sebastian in surprise and said, “It’s really so delicious, just like Percy and them said!”
“Can I have another cup, Professor Swan?”
Seeing Fred's appearance, George also swallowed.
He no longer hesitated, picked up the cup, and drank it happily like Fred.
Burp...
Seeing the performance of the twins, Sebastian was not annoyed, but made the Coke bottle float up and poured each of them a full glass again.
Looking at Fred and George clinking glasses, Sebastian chuckled softly.
These two troublemakers are very unrestrained.
They are even in the mood to have a toast at this moment.
He showed a kind smile and waved to the twins.
“Show me the map.”
After getting the Marauder's Map, Sebastian felt some emotion.
This is a famous artifact in the movie, and it's the first time he's touched it.
He carefully sensed it with magic. With his years of alchemy experience, the secrets of the Marauder's Map were quickly understood.
Technically, it's not very difficult.
The creativity is the most precious!
Looking at the names on the map, Sebastian pointed his wand at the map and said softly, “Mischief managed.”
The writing on the parchment disappeared immediately, becoming as clean as new.
Seeing this scene, Fred and George jumped up in surprise and said excitedly, “Professor, how do you know how to use this map?”
“Are you Prongs or Padfoot? Or Moony? It can’t be Wormtail, right?”
The twins were extremely excited. Since obtaining the Marauder's Map, they had sneaked out at night a lot.
The map was entirely responsible for not being caught by the professors and Filch.
Now that they had encountered someone suspected of being the creator, it was really too exciting.
Sebastian smiled slightly and denied, “Unfortunately, none of them.”
“But I do know these people. It's just a pity that most of them are enemies with me.”
Hearing that the professor knew the creators, Fred and George suddenly understood.
No wonder the professor caught them so easily.
Before the two could sit back, Sebastian directly threw out a bait.
“Gentlemen, I wonder if you are interested in participating in an alchemy project?”
Alchemy project?
The professor invited them to participate in an alchemy project!!!
That's great!
Fred and George exchanged glances and said excitedly, “We would be delighted, Professor!”
“What alchemy project?”
Sebastian picked up the Marauder's Map and gestured to the two of them, “Don’t be anxious, sit down first.”
“I want you two to imitate the Marauder's Map and make another map.”
The twins' eyes were full of doubt, and they quickly asked, “Why imitate it to make another map?”
“Professor, if you want the Marauder's Map, we can give it to you. Anyway, we have already figured out all the secret passages.”
Hearing the two's words, Sebastian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Why did it seem like he was a bandit, wanting to take good things for himself?
He explained patiently, “Every year after the freshmen enter school, some people get lost in the castle.”
“The roads in the castle are too complicated, and the stairs also change. Not to mention that some steps are traps, and stepping on them will trap your feet.”
“Because of this problem, some first-year wizards are late for the first class.”
“So, I plan to set up an alchemy project, which is to create a navigation map by imitating the Marauder's Map.”
Fred's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted happily, “That’s so cool! I’m willing, Professor! What do you want us to do!”
George was a little doubtful: “Professor Swan, this should be very simple for you, right? Why do you want us to do it?”
Hearing George's words, Fred immediately became anxious. He pounced on George, covered George's mouth, and smiled sheepishly: “Professor, don't listen to him.”
“George is too sleepy and has started talking nonsense.”
“What he means is that we are willing.”
Seeing the twins acting silly again, Sebastian stretched out his wand and separated the two.
An evil smile appeared on his face, and he said softly, “Too sleepy?”
“Now that you mention it, I remember that you two were caught by me because you were sneaking out at night.”
“In that case, deduct one point from each of you as a warning!”
“Gryffindor, deduct two points!”
