Chapter 919: All profiteers

Near 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 several of them chatted about boring trivial matters one after another.

George pressed his body on the armchair, flipped through the recent "Daily Prophet", and found Rita Skeeter's report. After reading carefully, he said to Fred and Lee Jordan who were playing cards next to him: "I I suddenly like Rita Skeeter's woman 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 articles."

George continued to look down in the newspaper and read the latest front-page news. He felt that the amount of information in it seemed a bit large. Although Sirius has already thrown out a lot of blockbuster news a while ago, the latest issue of "Defense Guide" has not been published yet. You can only look at what blockbuster news will be reported in the Daily Prophet, and there is just to look for it. Ludo Bagman's bad news.

Ludo Bagman almost took all the Garon in their pockets, and if it hadn't been for Albert, their dream would have ended before it even started.

Fred and George have never forgotten this enmity.

"The woman's article is still so sharp, it's really unlucky to be followed by him."

Lee Jordan also read the articles published by Rita Skeeter in the "Daily Prophet" in the last few days, and has to admit that there is some truth in the popularity of the other party’s reports, although most of them are nonsense. .

However, everyone likes these gossip news.

"Sirius is really daring, he will definitely have big trouble doing that last time." George continued to flip through the newspaper, looking for more news about Bagman.

Since the woman Rita Skeeter stabbed Ludo Bagman out of the scandal with amazing efficiency, the former director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic suddenly became discredited.

No way, there are many wizards looking for Bagman to bet on the World Cup. People who lose money or win money are scolding him.

Amid the anger of countless people, Bagman left the Ministry of Magic griefly and lived a life of hiding from debt.

Harry, who was playing wizard chess with Ron next to him, heard the three talking about Sirius, so he looked up and asked, "What is the trouble with Sirius."

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

"Last time, I saw Fudge at the Broken Cauldron Bar, and I thought he was pretty good." Harry didn't have much contact with Fudge, and his impression of him was not too bad.

"If I were you, I wouldn't believe politicians: those people only care about their status and power. They are the dirtiest guys in the world. Even the toilet is cleaner than them." George closed the newspaper and said to Harry. "This is what Albert said, don’t believe in the morals of politicians, because they have no morals."

"I think it might be more appropriate to use stinky socks." Fred threw away the wizard card in his hand, vomiting, "The toilet in some places is still very clean."

Harry and Ron frowned. They didn't expect Albert to hate Fudge so much. Even Fred, George and Lee Jordan had no respect for the Minister of Magic.

"I dare you to say that Mr. Minister definitely doesn't like certain truths being known by people. This will damage his reputation and be detrimental to the next election of the Minister of Magic." Lee Jordan explained with a smile and shrugged, "especially when people Knowing that Fudge accidentally caused Peter Pettigrew to escape from Azkaban, his situation will get worse and worse. Now it is estimated that he has the idea of ​​killing Sirius."

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

He also knows that Fred, George, and Lee Jordan always like to talk about Albert and admire him very much, but he has to admit that Albert is right all the time, it feels like People want to believe Dumbledore.

When Harry Potter had such thoughts in his mind, he felt very absurd. Albert had already reached Dumbledore's height.

Well, although Harry is unwilling to admit it, it seems...Albert is really great. If he is as old as Dumbledore, he might become the next Dumbledore. Even Harry has to admit it. .

"What should we do about the Triwizard Tournament now? The officials sent by the Ministry of Magic to organize and manage the Triwizard Tournament are all over. Will the competition continue to be held?" Ron turned the topic off, always feeling Fred's Every time people discuss Albert, they are quite enthusiastic. It sounds a bit like what Percy said during the summer vacation:

Mr. Crouch thinks... This is what I said to Mr. Crouch... This is what Mr. Crouch thinks... Mr. Crouch told me...

Oh my goodness, it's crazy.

A Percy out of the house was enough for him, Ron didn't want to see Fred and George become like this.

"It should continue. Albert said that the Warriors signed a contract with the Goblet of Fire. They must not give up in any way, otherwise they will not be able to bear the cost of breach of contract." Fred said without hesitation, "I dare you to say Albert had guessed it earlier. It will be so, so he doesn't care too much about the outcome of this game."

"It's really a troubled game, maybe this is the last one." Lee Jordan began to clean up the wizard cards on the table.

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

"next semester."

"At that time, we will put advertisements, open the Owl mail order service, and sell the products to Hogwarts students, making the final preparations for opening a store after graduation."

"Does Anderson really plan to help you open a store, a store like Joko's Joke Shop?" Ron was full of envy, he also wanted such a good friend, "However, in addition to canary biscuits, you have prepared How many new products?"

"You will never be disappointed, there are many interesting things."

"Including the wizard card?" Harry asked curiously, "How much do you plan to sell for this thing."

"Two Wests can be a pack, there will be five wizard cards in it." Lee Jordan introduced, "The wizard card deck is a gallon."

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

"Is it expensive? No, as long as you spend a gallon to buy a deck, you can play." Lee Jordan looked at Ron with a look of poor ghosts and said, "It is not necessary to buy a supplementary card pack, and as long as Join the Witcher 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 Witcher Chess is more than one Gallon."

Ron opened his mouth and wanted to refute, so he heard Lee Jordan continue to say, "If you don’t even think of this thing as expensive, then those things invented by Fred, George, and Albert are definitely not worth buying. Now, they need two Sicos for any candy."

"Are you crazy about money?" Ron looked at the Weasley twins in disbelief. "A candy can cost two cents?"

"We dare to sell it so expensive, naturally there is a reason." 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 can make you Get sick immediately."

"You want to get sick when your brain is sick." Ron broke free of the twins angrily.

"No, there are always people who want to get sick." Fred shrugged, "After eating skipping candy, we can guarantee that even experienced professors will feel that you need to go to the school hospital urgently, as long as you leave the classroom , You can take the other half of the antidote and quickly return to normal. Then, you can freely control the rest of the time.""

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

"It sounds like a good thing," Harry murmured. "Give me a copy of all kinds of skipping candy."

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

"Now we are not ready to sell to the outside world, you may have to wait for the next semester." Fred explained helplessly, "Of course, if you want to book in advance, you can pay first. As the first customer to book in advance, 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 showed exaggerated expressions and reminded, "It takes hundreds of gallons."

"Hundreds of gallons, how could it be so expensive, are you robbery?"

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

"Of course it's expensive. A few hundred gallons are still cheap. If you want to customize it, the price is more expensive." George didn't know where to get a magazine weekly and handed it to Harry.

"What is this?" Harry asked, taking the magazine.

"Our catalog." George explained proudly.

"It's all inside?"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, the number is too much.

"All of them, but some things need to be customized separately by Albert, and they are expensive." Fred turned the magazine to the protective equipment section.

"There are several kinds of fireworks in this magazine. The cheapest one requires two Westcos, and the most expensive one is 20 gallons to buy luxury deflagrations, and there are also special customized versions. The price is negotiable." Li · Jordan said to Ron, "So, the Wizard card is really not expensive, it can even be said to be quite cheap."

"You actually sell invisible cloaks?" Harry asked in surprise when he discovered that there were invisible cloaks on it.

"Well, that's it." Fred explained, "It's actually a travel cloak with a magic spell or blindfold. It can be invisible at first, but it will gradually lose its invisible effect over time. It's not counted. It works, but it must be more than enough to fool Filch."

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

"The quality is different. Even if it loses its magic power, the three-hundred one is a very delicate cloak. The material is silk. It is a special custom-made one, and you need to make an appointment with Albert." Fred shrugged, " Of course, the invisibility effect lasts longer."

"I found out that Anderson is the profiteer!"

Looking at Ron’s entire catalogue magazine, the most expensive ones are custom-made products, and you also need to make a temporary appointment and pay a deposit of 100 gallons. Moreover, the cheapest custom-made products require 100, and the most expensive ones. Five thousand. It is said that it is a protective equipment made of a complete set of dragon skins, which can completely resist common curses and can greatly weaken the power of black magic.

"How can I say that."

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

At this moment, Hermione walked into the common room out of breath

"What's the matter, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Hermione?" Ron asked suspiciously.

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

"I don't know, maybe I went to Hagrid." Fred asked suspiciously, "You have something to do with him?"

"Something bad happened." Hermione grabbed Harry by the arm, pulled him from the seat, and said quickly: "Harry, come with me."

"What happened?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"Please, follow me first. I'm telling you on the way." Hermione took Harry and walked out of the hallway. Ron got up and followed, leaving the three staring at each other.

"What's the matter, Hermione?"

After Harry followed Hermione out of the common room, he looked at Hermione who was a little nervous and impatient in confusion.

"Sparkling broke down." Hermione said tremblingly.
