v2 Chapter 83： expensive birthday present

The day before the Christmas break ended, William and Hermione returned to Hogwarts.

They didn't take the waterway this time, and they didn't ride on the toad. It is estimated that they will ride again in this life... There is too much shadow in their hearts.

So Nikon Apparated and sent the two to Hogsmeade, and they took the 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 Gryffindor's common room to find the twin brothers.

The three sat down in the empty lounge, Fred dragged 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 incident had long been rumored.

The twins are particularly interested in this now, and they are inspired to flood Slytherin.

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

But after only three actions, Percy reported it, and 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 Black Lake in the future?" Fred sighed: "Those mermaid tribes hold too much vengeance."

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

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

"But you have to take it slow to have a good relationship with them, but don't go to Black Lake recently, especially Cedric, who is the number one enemy of the mermaid."

To be precise, all three of them were trapped 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 badges on their chests, they input magic power, and a warm current hits.

"It's very good, this thing can sell well." Fred blinked excitedly, and he quickly discovered the business opportunity.

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

In the past, the most powerful product in their store was the map, which was highly technical and could not 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 imitate?" George asked worriedly.

He was very afraid that things would be sold, and a copycat would appear in a few days.

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

Around the core, there are a lot of unfamiliar protection magics, which are all created by Nico.

It is difficult for others to crack it, but if you force it open, the badge will be destroyed automatically. "

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

If you want to protect, it all depends on the magic of the wizard.

When William said this, both George and Fred felt relieved.

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

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

Psychedelic mushrooms are extremely precious magical medicinal materials, and are also an important part of the elixirs.

This thing is as expensive as gold. William and the others didn't want to go to Diagon Alley to buy it, so they could only go to the forbidden forest to pick it.

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

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

"William, you are actually here, we looked around in the library." Harry said in surprise.

"What, is there something?"

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

"Of course you can, but dear brother, do you have so much money?" Fred grinned wickedly, revealing a philistine face.

George also smiled and said, "For a badge, the cheapest one costs five Galleons. You are the first guests, and you only charge four Galleons each."

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

Ron murmured, it seemed that he really had no money, he thought he only needed a few cigars.

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

Ron's birthday is March 1st, and it's not too long. It can be justified as a birthday present.

But little wizards usually send cheap gifts, such as when Ron gave Hermione a quill for Christmas.

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

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

Ron obviously knew that too, he blushed slightly and nodded, "That's it, Harry, I'll 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 large number of badges from it.

Harry and Ron picked and choose, and both chose the badge with the Gryffindor lion.

The two walked up with satisfaction, and a warm feeling hit.

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

Every boy has a wild heart.

In the winter of William's previous life, he often wore only a thin coat, and his whole body was as cold as a dog.

It seems really stupid now.

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

Fred laughed and said, "William, is it your Christmas present again? Then we'll be welcome."

Too much chocolate William distributed a lot of gifts to Fred and the others last year.

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

"That thing...is it the Philosopher's Stone?"

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

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

He didn't say that the Philosopher's Stone had no magic power. Nico had explained that he couldn't tell anyone.

This was Dumbledore's plan.

"I just said that it was the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry pondered for a moment, "What should we do, we should protect that Philosopher's Stone!

Quirrell put in trolls on Halloween, and he must be trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone! "

William gave Harry a strange look.

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

"Or, do you think the Philosopher's Stone is in your hand... it's safer?"

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

William is right. As long as Dumbledore is at school, he has absolutely no need to worry about it.

Thinking of this, Harry relaxed.

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

Ron unceremoniously chose the largest chocolate cake among them. He seemed to want to eat back the loss he just lost.

Harry also took apart a chocolate frog and took a bite.
