Chapter 852: Well prepared
"Don\'t tell me, if I were Harry, I would believe Albert\'s words." There was no joking in Fred\'s words. He really believed the two things Albert mentioned.
"You also think Mad Eye has a problem?" George asked, frowning.
"Can\'t you have a sense of humor?" Lee Jordan complained. In fact, he also believes Albert\'s words, although this good friend always likes to fool others with the truth.
"Do you still remember the year when Harry just enrolled in the school, the incident happened when Quirrell stole the Philosopher\'s Stone, and Professor Quirrell is said to have been possessed by a mysterious person." Albert began to count what happened during Harry\'s three years of enrollment. matter.
"There was a secret room monster attack the year before. Although Lockhart said he was not the person involved, he was an out-and-out liar. He was attacked and has not been discharged yet."
"There was also last year\'s Black prison escape, Harry was also involved, and Professor Lupin was actually a werewolf, and Black is a good friend, and finally came up with Peter who pretended to be a mouse and died for more than ten years." Reid thought it was normal for Harry to be persuaded by Albert, because even he felt that way.
There are natural coincidences in the world, but successive coincidences are not called coincidences.
"Do you think there is a problem with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester?" Lee Jordan realized that the three of them were not joking, and condensed the smiles on his faces and began to think about the reasons. "By the way, do you know who this year\'s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is? ?"
"Crazy-eyed man."
"Crazy-eyed man?" Lee Jordan was a little confused, which was obviously a nickname.
"Crazy-eyed man, Aristo? Moody." George shared what he knew. "It is said that Professor Moody is a retired Auror or an old friend of Professor Dumbledore. His father respects him very much."
"By the way, Professor Moody seemed to be in trouble this morning. Mr. Diggory said that he thought someone was trying to break into his house, and there was a lot of noise. Dad hurried away early in the morning to help him solve this. I dare to say that the "Daily Prophet" will publish it a while ago." Fred added.
"If that crazy-eyed guy has a problem, maybe, he was really attacked this morning, and someone tried to control him to do something at Hogwarts." Lee Jordan couldn\'t help laughing as he spoke.
"What are you laughing at?" George asked puzzledly.
"It is obviously impossible to use the Imperius Curse to control a person, and also need to prevent a wise wizard like Dumbledore from noticing it." Albert explained to the two for Lee Jordan, "Furthermore, Crazy Eye. He is a very powerful Auror in his own right, and he must have a certain resistance to the Imperius Curse. For me, as long as I am not a very strong Imperius, I should be able to resist it, and the Veeva in the World Cup failed to fight it. I have too much influence."
Fred and George were a little embarrassed. In the World Cup final, they were confused by Veeva, and they were both recruited in the box. After the incident, Ron did not use this incident to laugh at them.
"What if the wizard who attacked him just wanted to sneak into the school pretending to be him?" George looked at Albert and asked, "If it is you, can you pretend to be someone else through clever transformation magic? As far as I know , The Auror of the Ministry of Magic will change his appearance through transformation magic."
"I haven\'t tried it. If you give me some time to practice, I should be able to do it, but I think it should be very difficult to use shapeshifting magic to pretend to be a certain person." Albert is confident in his own shapeshifting magic. He said, "If you want to pretend to be someone else, I think the other party will use compound potions, so that it is not easy to be seen. Especially if you want to hide from a wizard like Dumbledore, the transformation magic is easy to be seen. flaw."
"But it is impossible for him to drink potions all the time. That would need to consume a lot of compound potions." Li Jordan felt that it was not okay for someone to use potions to lurch in school for a long time. It takes a full month to make compound potions. To pretend to be a professor through medicine requires a large amount of medicine to be consumed, and there is a risk of exposure.
"It may be difficult to reach the level of a small cup of compound medicine that lasts for 12 hours, but it should be no problem that the medicine made by a smart pharmacist lasts 10 hours." Albert judged at the level of a pharmacist, "Needed medicine The number is definitely not as much as you think."
"If the Moody that appears tonight is fake, then the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is too terrible. The crazy-eyed man would be unlucky before he took office. The guy who pretended to be him and ran to the school to work is really unimaginable. , Maybe one day he will be in Azkaban prison." George ended the conversation with a joking tone. He knew that everyone would be staring at Moody tonight to see if that guy was a fake.
"By the way, do you read the magazine? If you don\'t read it, please lend me first." Lee Jordan also no longer entangled the question of the authenticity of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he believed that the other party must not be able to hide Albert\'s eyes, if it is really a fake Good thing, this semester is going to be lively, the little dwarf Peter a while ago was really miserable.
"Look at it first."
Albert handed the "Defense Guide" magazine to Lee Jordan, took a comb from his pocket and gave Tom Shunmao.
Albert knows the general content of the magazine. A few days before the start of school, Sirius and Lupin wrote letters frequently, discussing various things in the magazine with him, and he arranged the layout and gifts of the Defense Guide.
"The magazine also comes with a map of Hogwarts castle." Fred spread out the map in the magazine, some of which are similar to the spot map, with detailed indications of the locations of classrooms, halls and lounges and the shortest route. Let the new students integrate into the school faster through the map, avoid the embarrassment of the new students cannot find the classroom during the enrollment period.
"That\'s a gift for the wizard who ordered the four-month magazine in one breath." Albert explained, "It\'s a small gift for freshmen. Of course, there are other gifts to choose from."
"What other gifts?" George asked curiously.
"Danger Warning Device" Albert said without hesitation.
"Your new invention?"
"The inspiration I got from the sight glass is to detect the surroundings of the house. Once a malicious wizard appears, the danger warning device will sound an alarm. His advantage is that it is not easy to cause false alarms."
"There should be an upgraded version of this thing, right?"
The three of them immediately heard the business opportunity of the hazard warning device. With Albert\'s character, the best thing would definitely not be sold, and now is not the best time to sell this thing.
Someday the magic world really starts to turmoil, this thing will definitely sell well.
"Yes, that thing is a crude version, there is also a beta version of the pocket watch, but I gave it away." Albert did not deny that the hazard warning device is actually similar to the sight glass, but he adjusted the spell and added it. There are several kinds of magic.
"Give it away?" Lee Jordan looked at Albert in disbelief.
"Idiot, it must be his girlfriend!" George could guess who Albert gave away without even thinking about it.
"By the way, when will you get married." Lee Jordan said with a smile, "Remember to find me to be the best man at that time."
"I am the best man." Fred said.
"It\'s time to guess the punch." George suggested.
"How do you feel, I mean this magazine, how did you feel after visiting." Albert asked, turning the subject off.
"I think it\'s very good, it should be hot, at least very practical for ordinary wizard families." Fred gave a high evaluation, especially from Albert learned that the British wizards’ dark magic defense is average. After leveling up, I feel that this magazine will be more popular.
"Whether it is the analysis of the situation, the popularization of the Dark Marks and Death Eaters, or even how to deal with the uninvited Dark Wizard." George is very familiar with the method given in the magazine: You should run away immediately when you encounter danger. , And then tried to notify the Ministry of Magic.
Although the method is indeed a bit intimidating, the magazine said that it makes sense that ordinary wizards are not the opponents of dark wizards at all, and saving their lives is the best choice.
The magazine also teaches several spells to strengthen the protection of their houses. They are actually very practical. You must know that no one in the school teaches them, and ordinary wizards don\'t even know how to strengthen the safety of their houses.
"It feels like the content is a bit mixed, and the part of dealing with pests is completely made up, and how to distinguish it, it feels useless to deal with dangerous plants."
The "Guide to Defense" is more like a professor teaching you how to defend against the Dark Arts, that is, the content is more complicated, and it is divided into several areas.
For example, every issue will teach you a few practical spells, such as disarming spells, coma spells, and obstacle spells. Teach you how to crack the evil spells, how to deal with some of the more common pests, magical creatures, and dangerous plants, such as how to calmly deal with dangers, and the correct treatment methods after injuries.
The last few pages of the magazine are used to serialize novel stories. The content of this issue is: A Day in the Prisoner of Azkaban.
The "Guide to Defense" has 48 pages, and the content is actually not much, but compared to other magazines, it has a lot of pages.
Of course, the price is not cheap. Ten silvers are available for one copy, which is a relatively high price in magazines, especially in the case of panic.
However, it is undoubtedly worth the price.
"If it could be cheaper, I would definitely buy it." Lee Jordan mumbled: "Ten silver coins are really too expensive."
"Not a 50% discount." The price was given by Albert.
Just opened, in order to attract customers, if you order in the last few months, you can get a 50% discount and a free gift.
"Actually, I also think the price is too expensive. Please allow me to use your magazine for free before graduation." Fred returned the magazine to Albert with a smile.
"How much is your canary biscuits?" Albert asked rhetorically.
"Seven silver Kexi."
"Now, do you think it is expensive?"
"Compared with other magazines, it\'s really expensive. Xenofilius Lovegood\'s "The Contradictory" only needs a few Nats." Fred pointed out this fact.
"Would you be willing to spend a few Nats to buy a copy of "The Contradictory"?" Albert asked back. If I found fun on the Internet, when I didn’t say it.”
"Well, you\'re right, that\'s rubbish." Fred and George both felt that Albert was right, and they couldn\'t get fun from the magazine anyway.
"Well, you can always tell your own truth." Lee Jordan shrugged, anyway, he was about to rub Albert\'s magazine.
"Are you also planning to use this magazine as a breakthrough point to sell defense against the Dark Arts props?" George felt that he had guessed Albert\'s plan. No wonder he would be willing to spend the time and energy to help Sirius start the magazine.
"I do have this idea." Albert did not deny that this is indeed part of the plan.
"I think we also need a similar magazine to introduce our joke props." Fred murmured: "So that people can better understand our joke props, and they can choose what they like at any time to order owls. "
"Isn\'t it already done?" George was speechless, the advice Albert gave last time.
"Yes?" Fred was a little confused, why didn\'t he know.
It was still raining outside, and the four people in the carriage got together to discuss the future.
Making money and realizing their ideals obviously attract their attention more than other things.
They talked for a long time, and even rarely borrowed a pen from Albert to record the idea just mentioned. Lee Jordan was very interested in the wizard broadcasting project that Albert had mentioned, and he thought he could set up a broadcasting station in the school to test it.
Albert did not refuse, but said he could not help on the radio.
Fred and George found it very interesting and expressed their willingness to help. The three soon began to discuss how to build a radio station, completely unaware that they were simply too busy.
The Hogwarts express train finally slowed down, it was still pouring rain outside the window, and there was a rumble of thunder in the sky.
The students who had just got off the train were instantly drenched by the hurried rain. com got wet from the rain even when he held up an umbrella.
"It\'s really choking, let\'s go, I don\'t want to stay here in the rain." Fred urged.
The students who were dizzy by the cold rain had to lower their heads and move their feet little by little with the flow of people. They left the dark platform and passed a rough and muddy road, and finally found a horse-drawn carriage in the wind and rain. , Everyone quickened their pace and crowded in the direction of the carriage, some of the hapless guys even fell to the ground as a result.
The four Alberts picked up a carriage at random and climbed in. After closing the door to isolate the cold wind from the rain outside, Fred noticed that Albert was not wet by the rain and couldn\'t help asking: "What did you do? Arrived?"
"I just turned my robe into a raincoat and my boots into rain boots." Albert explained, "Moreover, I\'m holding an umbrella, so I won\'t get wet by the rain."
"You are well prepared, and don\'t know if there is a water curse." Lee Jordan said and looked at Albert.
"You can try to cover yourself with a bubble head curse. I\'m sure it will prevent the rain." Albert thought of a bad idea. "It might seem a bit funny. If you want, I can try it."
While talking, Albert raised his wand and pointed it at Lee Jordan. The next moment, most of his body was covered in a bubble curse, just looking quite funny.
"It looks good, like in a big soap bubble."
"It just looks funny." Fred and George couldn\'t help but laugh, and they used their fingers to poke the foam outside. Not to mention, the outer foam was so tough that it didn\'t burst.
Amidst laughter, the carriage bumped towards Hogwarts Castle.
