Hogwarts: This wizard wants to improve too much

August 28th.

There are still three days until the first day of school.

Ethan and Cassandra stood together at the gate of the manor.

Yesterday, Ethan and Cassandra went to Diagon Alley together to buy textbooks for the new school year, and then had ice cream at Florin's Ice Cream Shop, sitting in the same place where they first met.

In fact, Ethan had already bought them a long time ago. He bought them when he passed by Diagon Alley on his way to Knockturn Alley.

It was mainly Cassandra. She said she hadn't bought the textbooks yet, and she didn't say the specific reason.

There was no way Ethan could only accompany her to Diagon Alley, and then stayed in her manor for another day.

Originally, neither of them needed to buy extra textbooks. Before entering school, the textbooks for the required courses were almost all bought by the two of them.

But the textbooks for Defense Against the Dark Arts required this semester are different from the previous ones. They are novels written by Gilderoy Lockhart himself, which contain his experiences of fighting against dark wizards, magical creatures, etc.

Although these are the experiences and adventures of others that he stole, the stories are true, and other people don’t know about them. There is still some truth in them, otherwise it wouldn’t be popular.

It’s just that the price is a bit expensive, costing more than 30 gold galleons in total.

He has calculated the money bags of the little wizards from Muggle families, and it just happens that buying these this year can spend them all, right!

A voice came from the sky.

"Ethan, this way!"

Ethan looked up and saw a green car flying in the sky. It didn’t look very stable and there was a risk of falling at any time. George leaned out half of his body and shouted loudly to Ethan.

On the day Ethan came back, he wrote back to the Weasley twins and said that he was going to Cassandra's house. It was not long before school started, so he had no time to visit them. He would go next summer vacation.

But he received a reply soon. Their home village, Ottery-St. Catchpole, was also in Devonshire, only a few dozen miles away from the Worleys' manor.

After Ethan finished visiting Cassandra's house, they could come and pick him up to their house.

As pure bloods, they naturally knew the location of the Worleys' manor. Even though they had not been invited to the Worleys' banquet for many years, the location of the Worleys' manor had not changed, and the Weasleys had once been glorious.

"How about it, isn't this cool!"

If it weren't for the fact that the car couldn't be driven out, they would have gone to Hogwarts to show off. This thing is much more exciting than a flying broom.

Ethan gave a thumbs up below.

I immediately had the idea of ​​getting a flying car. Even though it wouldn't be used very often, it would be cool!

"Have fun, and see you at Hogwarts!"

When Cassandra saw the car stop, she straightened Ethan's collar and turned to leave.

What Ethan didn't see was that her face turned red the moment she turned around.

I don't know if my mother taught meUse it!

Cassandra muttered inwardly.

After Ethan got in the car, the twin brothers sang in unison.

"Oh, are you meeting the parents?"

"What about Penelope Cruvat?"

"What about Qiu Zhang?"

"And our Gryffindor Miss Know-it-all Hermione Granger!"

"I just came here to stay for a day or two at the invitation of Mrs. Waller. Don't think too much."

"Really?"

The brothers looked at Ethan as if you were taking us for idiots. Is the door of the Waller family so easy to enter?

Is it really okay for you to turn your head and chat with the passengers while driving?

Well, there's nothing wrong with driving without looking at the road!

There's no danger of a car accident when driving in the sky, it's just more bumpy.

"What's the matter with this car."

Ethan didn't want to dwell on this topic and couldn't explain it to the two singles.

"My father modified it. He is very interested in everything about Muggles. He works in the Ministry of Magic's Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department and is now the office director."

"So your father really abused his power. He was in charge of prohibiting the misuse of Muggle items, but he used it himself?"

Ethan looked at the twins with a teasing look on his face.

It can only be said that pure-blood families have advantages. This department is actually most suitable for Muggle-born wizards, but it is still controlled by pure-bloods.

In addition, in the original book, this flying car was discovered by Muggles and published in the newspaper, but their father still had nothing to do with it. It can be seen that this ban is not aimed at pure-bloods.

The targets are still Muggles. With a few exceptions, only Muggle-born wizards will use Muggle items and modify them. (The original book mainly prohibits the modification of Muggle items)

George refuted on the spot.

"You can't say that. If you don't get caught, it won't be considered a violation of the regulations, right?"

It's a good old tradition of Hogwarts.

Arthur Weasley doesn't seem to be a quiet person. I remember that he was caught by the administrator before Filch and was severely punished.

"That's right, otherwise we would all be expelled!"

The three looked at each other and laughed.

"By the way, Ethan, what is Nicolas Flamel's home like? Can you make the Philosopher's Stone?"

They admire Nicolas Flamel very much. If they have his technology, the quantity and quality of prank products will increase sharply.

Especially the Philosopher's Stone, which can turn stones into gold!

With it, there will be no shortage of gold Galleons in the future.

After Ethan came back from France, he wrote to a few people and told them that he went to Nicolas Flamel to learn alchemy. Now there was no need to hide anything.

"Do you think I can do it?"

I really can do it. Nicolas taught me.

But I haven't tried it. The refining requirements of this thing are very high.

There are two ways to refine it. The first one requires a large number of creatures with magic power to generate the Philosopher's Stone in the alchemy array. They must be alive. The higher the magic power in their bodies, the better. It doesn't matter whether they are wizards or magical animals.

Nico had experimented with a large number of magical animals at the beginning, but found that the number was still not enough, and only semi-finished products could be produced.

Later, he found a place with abundant magic power and used extremely rich magic power to refine the Philosopher's Stone, which was successful.

It's just that such a place is not easy to find, and after using it once, it takes a lot of time to recover, which seriously limits the output of the Philosopher's Stone.

Hogwarts should be a piece of land with abundant magic power that the four founders found together at the beginning. This may be the reason why it has been able to keep running for so many years.

"That's the Philosopher's Stone!"

"Why can't you do it!"

The twins' faces fell, as if they had lost something.

Then Ethan introduced Nicolas Flamel's home to them.

The brothers were so excited that they started to complain about Dumbledore, asking why he didn't send them to learn.

While they were chatting, the car flew over the village of Ottery-St. Catchpole.

The Weasley family lived on the outskirts of the village. The house was built with wizard characteristics. Like Diagon Alley, it was a crooked and weird building with several chimneys on it.

There was a pigsty built with stones in front of the house, with a few big white pigs in it, and a pond and a vegetable garden on the side.

If the house was normal, Ethan would think it was a farmyard in the countryside of England.

Which pure-blood wizard feeds pigs and grows vegetables himself? It's too low-class.

The Weasley family members who heard the roar of the car ran out to greet Ethan. Mr. Weasley was not there because of work.

Among them, Harry was also seen, which was not surprising to Ethan. In the letter he received, he said that he had visited Ron's house, and Ethan's reply was sent directly there. ,

"Kid, welcome to the Burrow!"

Molly stepped forward and gave Ethan a hug. He had heard his twin sons say Ethan's name many times, and Harry was quite familiar with him, but they had not met formally until today.

"Ethan, what does Nicolas Flamel look like? I heard he is 600 years old." (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

After saying hello, Harry came over. He was quite curious about Nicolas Flamel. After all, because of his Philosopher's Stone, he had experienced an adventure that almost cost him his life.

"Very old, the elixir of life cannot prevent the aging of the body."

While chatting and laughing, they came to the Burrow. Molly was in a hurry to prepare lunch, while Ethan and others sat in the living room and chatted.

There were fudge and juice prepared in advance on the table.

Ethan put one in his mouth and it tasted quite good, not too sweet, full of milky flavor.It should be made by Molly herself.

"Look over there, this is the pygmy puff we bred, how is it?"

Following Fred's finger, Ethan saw a furry ball on the windowsill. Is this puff?

Ethan really didn't notice it.

Where are the Fantastic Beasts? It's a very common animal, distributed all over the world.

XX other magical animals, that is, harmless level, have a spherical body, covered with soft hair, and a gentle personality. They will not get angry even if they are thrown around.

It's just that this thing has a very thin and long tongue, which will stretch into the wizard's nostrils to eat the wizard's boogers when the wizard is sleeping. Ethan can't accept this.

"If you can breed it in large quantities, it should be quite popular in Hogwarts."

Ethan can't accept it, but the children in the wizard world like this thing.

And the size of this one, if it is an adult, is only one-third of the size of a normal puff, and can be carried in a pocket. Those little witches probably can't refuse it.

"We think so too. This will definitely make a lot of money. Ethan, are you interested in investing?"

Fred rubbed his hands and looked at Ethan with a mercenary look.

"No, don't you two have hundreds of gold galleons together?"

Ethan looked at the two brothers in disbelief. Just relying on his own Bafe brain-stimulating agent, the two of them have earned more than 400 gold galleons in more than a month before the exam.

Even if some of the experiments this summer were spent, it is impossible to use it up!

Their small props cost very little and did not use any precious materials. []

"It's all Gilderoy Lockhart's fault. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be like this."

Speaking of this, the two brothers wanted to cry but had no tears.

They bought a lot of raw materials right after the holiday, and were ready to do a big job this summer vacation, after all, they were not short of money.

They also promised to buy a new set of textbooks, wizard robes, wands, etc. for their favorite sister Ginny, and they would cover the expenses.

I thought it was only 70 gold galleons, which was nothing, and they earned it in less than a week during the final period.

But when I received the letter from Hogwarts at the end of July, I was stunned.

The new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts (Nuohao Zhao) designated textbooks, and a set cost more than 30 gold galleons, which is almost the price of all other subject textbooks combined.

If it were just that, the two would not be like this. The key is that the Weasley family is poor, and they don’t save money. They spend as much as they have. (Going on a trip after winning the lottery shows that they don’t have the habit of saving money)

In previous years, Bill and Charlie’s old books could be used as textbooks, but this year it’s not possible. The Weasley family’s expenses are huge, and all five children need them.

The pressure now fell on the twins. If they had no money, the pressure would be on Arthur.

Finally, the twins took out fiveThe money for personal textbooks, of which Ginny alone spent nearly a hundred gold Galleons.

The twins went bankrupt on the spot, and they were so angry that they almost scolded Gilderoy Lockhart in front of him, saying that they came to Hogwarts to take classes just to boost sales for their books, right! Use.

"Okay, how many gold Galleons do you need?"

Knowing the reason, Ethan couldn't help laughing.

"Thirty gold Galleons will be enough!"

This is because the twins have been used to spending lavishly recently. In the past, they had to be cautious when asking for ten gold Galleons.

Just after the start of school, this Bafei brain-stimulating agent is not easy to sell, and the breeding speed of this dwarf puff is not fast. If you want to form a scale of sales, you must start quickly, so you want Ethan to invest.

Ethan directly took out thirty gold Galleons and handed them to them, indicating that they can deduct it from their sales in the future.

This touched the twins and almost called daddy!

At lunchtime, the Weasleys' dishes were not rich, but the portions were quite filling. Each person had seven or eight sausages, fried eggs, ham, and potatoes, and was quite full. .
