some magical Hogwarts

Chapter 182 Expensive birthday present

The day before the end of the Christmas holidays, William and Hermione returned to Hogwarts.

They didn't take the water this time, and they didn't ride the toad, and they probably won't ride again in this life...the shadow in their hearts is too great.

So Nico could apparate the two of them to Hogsmeade, and they took a Thestral and returned to Hogwarts safely.

This is wizard travel, safe and fast!
After returning to school, William and Hermione separated and returned to their respective college lounges.

But the lounge was empty, and everyone had to take the train to the school at night.

Bored, William went to the Gryffindor common room to find the twin brothers.

The three sat down in the empty common room, and Fred pulled William and asked him how he flooded the Slytherin common room.

On the day of the holiday, there were not a few little wizards who saw William and Hermione under the Black Lake, and this matter had long been rumored.

The twin brothers are now particularly interested in this matter, and they are inspired to do a flooded Slytherin too.

They planned to sneak into the Slytherin lounge and blow the toilet pipes.

But after only three actions, they were reported by Percy, so Professor Snape locked them up for several days.

Now the twins have refused to speak to Percy.

William quickly explained what happened that day.

"So, we can't go to the Black Lake anymore?" Fred sighed, "Those mermaid tribes hold grudges too much."

"It's okay, as long as we deal with them fairly." William said softly, leaning back on the chair.

"Mr. Scamander gave me some good methods, which can effectively draw in the relationship with the mermaid."

"However, you have to take your time to get on good terms with them, but it is better not to go to the Black Lake recently, especially Cedric, he is the number one enemy of the mermaid."

To be precise, all three of them were tricked by Cedric.

William threw a badge to Fred and George, "This is the latest product I made, called a warm-up badge."

After the two put the badge on their chests and input magic power, a warm current came over them.

"Very good, this thing can sell well." Fred blinked excitedly, and he quickly discovered the business opportunity.

"We can sell not only in schools, but also in Diagon Alley."

In the past, the most powerful product in their store was the map. This product has high technical content and cannot be imitated by others.

But their customers are only those students and parents, and the audience of this badge is too light.

"Is it easy to be imitated?" George asked worriedly.

He was very afraid that if the things were sold, a copycat would appear in a few days.

"No, the core of this badge is an alchemy core engraved with ancient runes.

Around the core, a lot of out-of-the-way protection magic was cast, all of which were created by Nico.

It is very difficult for other people to crack it, not to mention that if you force it open, the badge will be automatically destroyed. "

There is no such thing as a one-year warranty in the magic world, and of course there is no so-called patent protection.

Want to protect, all rely on the wizard's magic.

William said so, and both George and Fred were relieved.

Soon, the three discussed the price and plan of the sale.

"By the way, the psychedelic mushrooms in the Forbidden Forest are ripe, and they can be picked in the next few days." Fred said.

Psychedelic mushrooms are extremely precious magical medicinal materials and an important part of Felicia.

The price of this thing is as high as gold. William and the others don't want to go to Diagon Alley to buy it, so they can only go to the Forbidden Forest to pick it.

"Okay, when Cedric comes to school, the four of us will go to the Forbidden Forest together." William said.

Several people were chatting when the door of the lounge opened suddenly, and Harry and Ron came in through the passage.

"William, you are here. We searched around the library." Harry said in surprise.

"What, is something wrong?"

"We just met Hermione, she has a badge on her body, can you sell us one?" Ron envied.

"Of course, but my dear brother, do you have so much money?" Fred smirked, showing a philistine face.

George also smiled and said, "A badge, the cheapest one costs five Galleons. You are the first guests, and you only charge four Galleons per person."

The price is not expensive, a fake wand on the market costs five Galleons, not to mention that William is a good alchemy product.

Ron muttered, it seems that he really has no money, he thought he only needed a few Sickles.

"I'll pay Ron, but don't want his birthday present this year." Harry readily took Garen out of his pocket.

Ron's birthday is March [-]st, and it won't be long, so a birthday present is acceptable.

But little wizards usually give very cheap gifts, such as Christmas, Ron gave Hermione a quill.

This is equivalent to giving away a mechanical pencil, the kind that has not yet bought the lead.

Compared with a gift of a few nits like a quill, the price of the warm-up badge is indeed very expensive.

Ron obviously knew it too, he blushed slightly and nodded, "That's it, Harry, I will pay it back on your birthday!"

The twin brothers looked at each other with black question marks on their faces, not knowing what to say.

William put the bag on the table, and Fred took out a handful of badges from it with ease.

Harry and Ron picked and picked, and both settled on the badge with Gryffindor's lion head.

The two took it with satisfaction, and a wave of warmth came over them.

Ron said happily: "This way I don't have to wear the sweater my mother gave me. It's too thick to move around."

Every boy has a wandering heart.

In the winter in William's previous life, he often only wore a thin coat, and he was as cold as a dog. He still only wanted demeanor, not warmth.

Seems like a fool now.

William took out all the candies from the bag and motioned for everyone to eat together.

Fred laughed and said, "William, is it your Christmas present again? Then we're not welcome."

There are too many chocolates, William distributed a lot of gifts to Fred and the others last year.

"So, William, did you ask?" Harry said hastily, leaning forward in his chair.

"Is that thing... the Philosopher's Stone?"

He asked Hermione before, but the girl didn't say anything, and went back to her room.

"Yes, Nico said Professor Dumbledore borrowed it." William nodded.

He didn't say that the Philosopher's Stone was no longer magical, and Nicol had confessed that he couldn't tell anyone.

This was Dumbledore's plan.

"I just said that is the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry pondered for a moment, "What should we do, we should protect that Philosopher's Stone!
Quirrell puts in the troll on Halloween, and he's definitely trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone! "

William gave Harry a strange look.

"Harry, don't forget that with Professor Dumbledore at school, no one can steal the Sorcerer's Stone from under his nose."

"Or, do you feel that the Sorcerer's Stone is ... safer in your hands?"

"Uh, no...no, that's not what I meant." Harry shook his head hastily.

William was right, as long as Dumbledore was at school, there was absolutely no need for him to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Harry relaxed.

William smiled and motioned for him and Ron to come and deal with the candies as well.

Ron unceremoniously chose the biggest chocolate cake, as if he wanted to make up for the loss he had just lost.

Harry also took apart a Chocolate Frog and bit down.
