That night, the Weasley twins were busy reading History of Magic, while Albert and Lee Jordan were sitting by the window playing cards, teasing the two of them carelessly.
"The Gryffindor team's first Quidditch opponent, Wood was drawn against the Slytherin team. Now that guy is asking us to practice more all day long, saying that he wants to defeat Slytherin's Nimbus 2001, which is almost giving everyone away.
It's driving me crazy." Fred almost buried his head in the parchment and didn't forget to complain to Albert about this.
At this moment, Kenneth Toller came to Albert and said he wanted to make a deal with him.
"You want to sell amulets and apotropes to Muggle-born wizards at school?"
Albert took his eyes away from the cards in his hand, looked at Kenneth Toller and asked, "Then what do you want from me? Do you plan to invite me to sell amulets together?"
"We can cooperate." Kenneth Toller said without hesitation, "If we have money, we can make it together."
hehe…
"No one would buy that thing, and you can't make much money by reselling it." Naturally, Albert didn't believe the other party's lies and declined politely.
"Come with me." Kenneth Toller stretched out his hand to pull Albert, trying to pull him out of the common room, as if he planned to tell him something secret.
"alright!"
Albert was helpless. He didn't like to flirt with strangers. The relationship between the two parties was not that good yet.
Just as Albert and Kenneth Toller left the common room, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all looked up at the leaving figures of the two, looked at each other again, and then stood up together.
Driven by curiosity, I followed him secretly.
Kenneth Toller glanced at Albert, and then at the three people who were following him secretly. Although there was a distance between the two sides, it was not difficult to guess what they were thinking by looking at the appearance of the three people.
"Come here if you want to hear it!"
Albert glanced at Kenneth Toller and greeted Fred, George and Lee Jordan.
The three guys came over smiling and said hello to Kenneth Toller.
"You should know the legend of the Chamber of Secrets." Kenneth Toler glanced at the three of them, looked at Albert again, and started to get to the point.
"I know." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly. After meeting the other person's eyes, he understood what Kenneth Toller wanted to say. He was a little surprised that this guy actually knew these things.
"I wrote to someone and asked, and he told me that fifty years ago, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was opened by the Slytherin heir." Kenneth Toller said, pretending to be mysterious.
"We have known about this for a long time." George looked at Kenneth Toller with a strange face. He thought the other person wanted to say something.
The result, is this?
Kenneth Toler was choked by George's words. He regretted letting the three people come over to cause trouble for him. He glared at George dissatisfied and continued: "At that time, there were many attacks in Hogwarts, and the whole school was disturbed.
People were panicked, and in the end a Muggle wizard named Ravenclaw died because of it, and the school almost closed down."
"You are very ill-informed. We knew these things on Halloween." Fred's face was full of concealed disappointment, as if he was saying to Kenneth Toler: I thought you knew what the big deal was.
Secret, it turned out that Albert was called out for this matter?
"Finally, the murderer was caught. It is said that the man later became the gamekeeper at the school." Kenneth Toler ignored Fred's words and glanced at Albert. He knew that Albert was with
The relationship with the gamekeeper was pretty good.
"We already know these things." Lee Jordan said to Albert, "I think it's better to go back and continue playing cards!"
"Listen to what I have to say." Kenneth Toler felt his chest was tight and he wanted to punch these annoying guys in front of him to the ground.
"I know what you mean, you think the attacks will continue." Albert finished the sentence directly for Kenneth Toller.
"Can you let me say it myself? You know I'm very depressed when I hold it in like this." Kenneth Toler couldn't help complaining. He was surprised that Albert would actually know the information about the secret room. If it hadn't been for him
I wrote home to ask, and I am sure I am still as confused as everyone else.
"Hagrid...well, I mean Hagrid is not the heir of Slytherin. How could he be the heir of Slytherin when he was in Gryffindor House? That guy was just the culprit.
He was not caught, but was used as a scapegoat." Kenneth Toller said this without hesitation, "Now, the Chamber of Secrets has been opened by the heir of Slytherin, Filch
My cat will definitely not be the first unlucky person to be targeted. Attacks will definitely happen again, and the school will be in panic again, and amulets and exorcisms will definitely sell well."
"You must be better at selling things than me." Albert said honestly, "And I don't have the patience to sell things either."
"So, we can cooperate." Kenneth Toler looked into Albert's eyes, with sincerity almost written on his face.
"Cooperation, how to cooperate?" Albert asked, "Do you want me to provide you with an amulet?"
"Yes." Kenneth Toller gave a thumbs up. "He is indeed Albert."
"If I want to sell something, I can definitely ask Fred, George and Lee Jordan for help." Albert raised his hand and pointed to the three people next to him.
The three of them grinned, looked at Kenneth Toller, and said in unison: "Yes, you are redundant."
"Don't say that, I can provide you with a lot of conveniences." Kenneth Toler realized that he had made a wrong decision just now, waved his hands and said, "We can make more money by working together, why not cooperate?"
.”
"I have no intention of selling the amulet. That thing is useless against the monsters in the secret room." Albert shook his head and said, "If you want to sell something, you might as well wholesale a bunch of looking glasses. At least the looking glass can still be used.
Some effect."
"Looking Glass?" Kenneth Toller muttered quietly: "Those things can be bought in Hogsmeade Village. Who would want to buy them from me."
"Are you trying to say that everyone buys amulets just for peace of mind?" Albert looked at Kenneth Toller with a strange expression.
Kenneth Toller: “…”
"Albert can tell what you are thinking at a glance." The faces of the three of them were full of gloating.
"I'm not angry, not angry." He took several deep breaths, "I think you can make some effective amulets, right?"
"I told you, that thing has no effect on the monsters in the secret room."
"As you said, they just want peace of mind." Kenneth Toler said seriously, "Many vendors sell fake and inferior products. At least, what we sell is genuine."
"us?"
The three of them once again felt the shamelessness of the guy opposite them.
"I don't have the materials." Albert said, "If you can help me get the materials, I will cooperate with you, six to four points, I will be six to you and four."
"Fifty-five, I'll help find materials."
"Six and four points, I'm six and you're four, you're not at a loss." Albert checked, "And don't say I made it."
"Albert can do it alone." George reminded.
"What do you need?" Kenneth Toller compromised, adding, "If the materials are too expensive, it's 50/50."
"Amethyst, or obsidian, guardian tree or purple shirt." Albert glanced at it and explained casually, "The first two are exorcists, and the latter two can be used to make amulets to drive away dark creatures. If you have other suitable materials
You can bring them together."
"As expected of you, I really found the right person." Kenneth Toler was not bargaining, they were all cheap goods that were not very valuable.
"To be honest, the amulet is really not as practical as the looking glass. If you can detect it in advance..." Albert couldn't help but stop here. He suddenly felt that this was a good idea. The basilisk is a dark creature. If you can make one that can detect the darkness,
With a biological alarm, you don’t need to worry about encountering a basilisk all the time.
At least, you can detect it in advance and effectively avoid risks.
Albert couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. He knew the manufacturing principle of the looking glass. That thing could detect suspicious people. Why couldn't he modify it to detect basilisks or dark creatures?
"You get the materials first, and I will help you make a finished product. If anyone wants it, you can pay to order it, and then I will help you manufacture it." Albert raised his head and said to Kenneth Toler, "If you can't sell it,
, the material cost is mine."
"good."
Kenneth Toler left satisfied.
"I don't think you actually need to cooperate with Kenneth." George said to Albert after Kenneth Toler left, "If you sell it yourself, the front is yours, and we can help you."
"The amulet may have some effect, but that's it. It will definitely have no effect on the monsters in the secret room." Albert shook his head and said, "Since Kenneth Toller wants to make some money, let him sell it. Anyway, when the time comes
If you are unlucky and discover that something is ineffective, you can’t blame me, and there are probably not many people who will spend money to buy it, so it’s not worth spending a lot of money on.”
After all, the students' financial resources are limited, and it is not easy for them to come up with just a few galleons.
Just as the four of them were about to return to the common room, they met Fred and George's sister Ginny. She looked slightly pale and in a very bad state of mind.
"Your sister is sick?"
"Percy said that Ginny has been having nightmares recently." Fred also frowned and said, "The murder of Mrs. Norris made her very uneasy."
"This is abnormal." Albert narrowed his eyes and said.
"Abnormal?"
"It's okay. Brothers should fulfill their responsibilities as brothers. If Ginny has nightmares, take her to Madam Pomfrey. She knows how to brew potions that will prevent nightmares." Albert interrupted.
After changing the topic, he looked at Ginny's back and narrowed his eyes slightly, "If her mood is really unstable, let her drink a small amount of sedatives. I still have some there. I'll bring them to you when I get back."
