"As expected of you, even Harry was fooled by you."
After seeing Harry walking away in a daze, Lee Jordan smiled and said to Albert, "Actually, I have always felt that I am very suitable to be a priest in the church. I can definitely fool a large number of believers."
"Don't tell me, if I were Harry, I would believe what Albert said." Fred didn't mean to be joking at all. He really believed the two things Albert mentioned.
"Do you think there's something wrong with Mad-Eye too?" George asked with a frown.
"Can't you have a sense of humor?" Lee Jordan complained. In fact, he also believed what Albert said, although this good friend always liked to use the truth to deceive others.
"You still remember the year when Harry first entered school, the incident of Quirrell stealing the Philosopher's Stone happened, and Professor Quirrell was said to be possessed by a mysterious man." Albert began to detail what happened in the three years that Harry enrolled.
matter.
"There was an attack by a monster in the secret room the year before last. Although Lockhart was not a party, he was an out-and-out liar. He was also attacked and has not been discharged from the hospital yet."
"There was also last year's Black prison escape incident. Harry was also involved, and Professor Lupine was actually a werewolf and was a good friend of Black. In the end, there was Peter who pretended to be a mouse and pretended to be dead for more than ten years."
Red thought it was normal for Harry to be persuaded by Albert, because even he felt that way.
There are naturally coincidences in the world, but coincidences that happen one after another are not coincidences.
"Do you think there is something wrong with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester?" Lee Jordan realized that the three of them were not joking. He stopped smiling and began to think about the reason. "By the way, do you know who this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is?"
?”
"Mad-Eye."
"Mad-Eye?" Lee Jordan was a little confused. This was obviously a nickname.
"Mad-Eye, Alastor Moody." George shared the information he knew with everyone. "It is said that Professor Moody is a retired Auror and an old friend of Professor Dumbledore. Dad respects him very much."
"By the way, Professor Moody seemed to be in trouble this morning. Mr. Diggory said he thought someone was trying to break into his house, and there was a lot of noise. Dad left in a hurry early in the morning to help him solve the problem.
Something, I dare say the Daily Prophet will definitely publish it in a while." Fred added.
"If there's something wrong with that Mad-Eye, maybe, he was really attacked this morning and someone tried to control what he did in Hogwarts." Lee Jordan couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
"Why are you laughing?" George asked in confusion.
"It is obviously impossible to use the Imperius Curse to control a person without being noticed by a brilliant wizard like Dumbledore." Albert explained to the two of them on behalf of Lee Jordan, "Besides, Mad Eye
I am a very powerful Auror, and I must have a certain resistance to the Imperius Curse. Take myself as an example, as long as it is not a very strong Imperius Curse, I should be able to resist it. Even the Veela in the World Cup could not resist it.
I made too much of an impact."
Fred and George were both a little embarrassed. During the World Cup finals, they were bewitched by Veela, and they were the only two people in the box who were tricked. Ron laughed at them about this incident afterwards.
"What if the wizard who attacked him just wanted to disguise himself as him and sneak into the school?" George looked at Albert and asked: "If it were you, could you disguise yourself as someone else through superb transformation magic? As far as I know
, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic will change their 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 would be very difficult to use transformation magic to disguise yourself as a specific person." Albert was confident in his transformation magic. He said,
"If you want to disguise yourself as someone else, I think the other party should use a compound potion, so that the flaws are less likely to be seen. Especially if you want to hide it from a clever wizard like Dumbledore, the flaws in the transformation magic will be easier to see."
"But he can't keep drinking the potion, which would require consuming a lot of compound potions." Li Jordan felt that it was unlikely that someone would use potions to lurk in the school for a long time. It would take a full month to brew the compound potions, which meant that someone really wanted to
To disguise yourself as a professor through potions requires consuming a large amount of potions, and there is also a risk of exposure.
"It may be difficult to achieve the level of 1 small cup of compound medicine that lasts for 12 hours, but a medicine brewed by a skilled pharmacist should last for 10 hours." Albert made a judgment based on the level of a pharmacist, "The medicine that is needed
There are definitely not as many as you think.”
"If the Moody who appears tonight is fake, then the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is so terrible. Mad-Eye will be unlucky before he even takes office. The guy who pretends to be him and goes to the school to work is really unthinkable.
, I might end up in Azkaban Prison one day." George ended the conversation in 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 not, lend it to me first." Lee Jordan no longer struggled with the authenticity of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He believed that the other party would not be able to hide it from Albert's eyes. If it was really a fake,
Damn, this semester is going to be lively. Peter Pettigrew was really miserable a while ago.
"You guys take a look first."
Albert handed the "Defense Guide" magazine to Lee Jordan, took a comb from his pocket and smoothed Tom's hair.
Albert knew the general content of the magazine. A few days before the start of school, Sirius and Lupine wrote frequently and discussed various matters about the magazine with him. He also arranged the layout and gifts of the "Defense Guide".
.
"The magazine actually comes with a map of Hogwarts Castle." Fred unfolded the map inside the magazine. It was somewhat similar to the Marauder's Map. It also marked the locations of classrooms, halls and lounges and the shortest routes in detail.
Allow new students to integrate into the school faster through the map and avoid the embarrassment of new students not being able to find a classroom during their enrollment.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That is a gift for wizards who order magazines for four months at a time." Albert explained, "It is a small gift for new students. Of course, there are
Other free gifts are available.”
"What other gifts?" George asked curiously.
"Danger warning device" Albert said without thinking.
"Your new invention?"
"The inspiration I got from the looking glass is to detect the surroundings of the house. Once a malicious wizard appears, the danger warning device will sound an alarm. Its advantage is that it is not prone to false alarms."
"There should be an upgraded version of this thing, right?"
The three of them immediately heard the business opportunity of danger warning devices. With Albert's character, he would definitely not sell the best thing, and now was not the best time to sell it.
One day the magic world really starts to turmoil, this thing will definitely sell well.
"Yes, that thing is a crude version, and there is also a test version of the pocket watch, but I gave it away." Albert did not deny that the danger warning device was actually similar to the looking glass, but he adjusted the spell and added it to it.
Several kinds of magic.
"Giving it away?" Lee Jordan looked at Albert in disbelief.
"Idiot, it must be his girlfriend!" George could guess who Albert gave the thing to without even thinking.
"When will you get married?" Li Jordan said with a smile, "Remember to ask me to be the best man then."
"I'm the best man," Fred said.
"Guess the game then." George suggested.
"How do you feel? I mean this magazine. What do you think after reading it?" Albert asked, changing the topic.
"I think it's very good. It should be a hot seller. At least it's very practical for ordinary wizard families." Fred gave a high evaluation, especially after learning from Albert that wizards in the British wizarding world have an average defense against dark arts.
After reading it, I feel more and more that this magazine will be popular.
"Whether it's analysis of the situation, popular science about the Dark Mark and Death Eaters, or even how to deal with uninvited dark wizards." George was very fond of the method given in the fan magazine: when in danger, you should escape immediately.
, and then try to notify the Ministry of Magic.
Although the method is indeed a bit cowardly, what the magazine said makes sense. Ordinary wizards are no match for dark wizards. Saving one's own life is the best choice.
The magazine also teaches several spells to strengthen the protection measures of one's own house, which are actually very practical. You must know that no one teaches them this knowledge in school, and ordinary wizards don't even know how to strengthen the security measures of their own houses.
"I feel that the content is a bit complicated. The part about dealing with pests is completely patchy, and how to identify them. It feels useless to deal with dangerous plants."
"Defense Guide" is more like a professor teaching everyone how to defend against black magic, but the content is relatively complicated and divided into several areas.
For example, each issue will teach you several practical spells, such as disarming spells, stun spells, and obstacle spells. It will teach you some spells to break evil spells, and how to deal with some common pests, magical creatures, and dangerous plants, such as when you encounter
How to respond calmly after danger, and the correct treatment method after injury.
The last few pages of the magazine are used for serialized novel stories. The content of this issue is: A Day in the Life of the Prisoner of Azkaban.
"Defense Guide" has 48 pages, which is not much content, but compared to other magazines, it has a lot of pages.
Of course, the price is not cheap either. Ten pieces of silver can cost a piece, which is a relatively high price in magazines. Especially when people are in panic, it feels a bit like taking advantage of the fire.
However, it is undoubtedly worth the price.
"If it's cheaper, I will definitely buy it." Lee Jordan muttered: "Ten silver coins are too expensive."
"It's not like there's a 50% discount." The price is what Albert gave.
It has just opened. In order to attract customers, if you order together in the past 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 buy your magazine for free before graduation." Fred returned the magazine to Albert with a smile.
"How much does your canary biscuit cost?" Albert asked.
"Seven silver coins."
"Now, you think it's expensive?"
"It's really expensive compared to other magazines, Xenophilius Lovegood's The Quibbler only costs a few kats (a quarter of a sickle)" Fred pointed out this fact.
"How many kats would you be willing to spend to buy a copy of The Quibbler?" Albert asked, "To put it harshly, The Quibbler is trash to a lot of people. If you could buy a copy of The Quibbler from that magazine,
If you find fun online, just pretend I didn’t say it.”
"Well, you're right, that's rubbish." Fred and George both felt that Albert was right, they couldn't get pleasure from magazines anyway.
"Well, you can always tell your own truth." Lee Jordan shrugged. Anyway, he was determined to read Albert's magazine.
"Are you also planning to use this magazine as a breakthrough to sell dark magic defense items?" George felt that he had guessed Albert's plan. No wonder he was willing to spend time and energy to help Sirius start a magazine.
"I do have this idea." Albert did not deny that this was indeed part of the plan.
"I think we also need a similar magazine to introduce our joke props." Fred muttered: "So that people can better understand our joke props and be able to choose what they like and order them at any time.
"
"Isn't it already being done?" George was a little speechless, referring to the advice given by Albert last time.
"Is there any?" Fred was a little confused, why didn't he know.
It was still raining outside, and the four people in the carriage gathered together to discuss the future.
Making money and realizing their ideals obviously attract their attention more than other things.
They chatted for a long time, and even rarely borrowed a pen from Albert to record the ideas they just mentioned. Lee Jordan was very interested in the wizard radio plan that Albert had mentioned, and he thought he could build a radio station in the school to test it.
one time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Albert did not refuse, but said that he could not help on the radio.
Fred and George found it interesting and offered to help, and the three soon began discussing how to build a radio station, unaware that they would be overwhelmed.
The Hogwarts Express finally slowed down. It was still pouring rain outside the windows, and there was rumble of thunder in the sky.
The students who had just gotten off the train were instantly drenched by the rapid and fierce rain. Even if they held up an umbrella, they were soaked by the rain.
"It's really annoying. Let's go quickly. I don't want to stay here and get wet in the rain." Fred urged.
The students who were dizzy from the cold rain had to lower their heads and move little by little with the flow of people. They left the dark platform and passed through a rough and muddy road. Finally, they found the carriage without a horse in the wind and rain.
, everyone quickened their pace and crowded in the direction of the carriage, and a few unlucky ones even fell to the ground.
Albert and the four of them randomly picked a carriage and climbed in. After closing the door to isolate the cold wind and rain outside, Fred noticed that Albert was not wet by the rain and couldn't help but ask: "How did you do that?"
Arrived?"
"I just turned my robe into a raincoat and my boots into rain boots." Albert explained, "Besides, I also held an umbrella, so I wouldn't get wet from the rain."
"You are well prepared. I don't know if there is a water repellent spell." Lee Jordan said and looked at Albert.
"You can try to cover yourself with a bubble head charm. I'm sure it can prevent rain." Albert thought of a bad idea, "It might look a bit funny. If you are willing, I can try it."
As he spoke, Albert raised his wand and pointed at Lee Jordan. The next moment, most of his body was covered in a bubble spell, which made him look quite funny.
"It looks pretty good, like being in a big soap bubble."
"It just looks funny." Fred and George both couldn't help but laugh and poked the foam on the outside with their fingers. Not to mention, the outer foam was very tough and didn't burst.
Amid laughter, the carriage jolted toward Hogwarts Castle.
