The loud slaps made the Gryffindor common room instantly audible.
Charles just walked in and was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
What followed was Eleanor's cold voice: "Who do you think you are? I just asked my family to do some business with your company because you and I are both Gryffindors. You
My family’s annual income is not enough for a car in my garage. I usually smile at you just out of politeness. When did you get the illusion that I like you, giving you the courage to think that you are my boyfriend?
Are you dictating life?!"
The one who was beaten was a seventh-grade boy. He covered his red left face with his hand, and he was completely stunned.
Eleanor continued to tell him: "I don't care if the people around me want to pursue me, want to be my friend, want my money, or just want to sleep with me, I will not hate anyone because of their motives.
If you have the ability, come here. If I suffer a loss, it means I am a fool. I admit defeat!"
"However, I will never allow anyone to dictate my life, self-righteously telling me that I must do this, but not that!"
The society of wizards is still very conservative, and some parts of Eleanor's words were so liberal that they kicked their bottom line, and more people were fooled for a while.
There are many couples among the senior students at Hogwarts, and quarrels between men and women are nothing new. This incident ended when the boy covered his face and returned to the dormitory with Eleanor leaving the common room.
Charles was taken to their dormitory by Fred and George, which looked like a kidnapping.
"Now what we want to show you is..."
"Weasley's Magical Fireworks!"
As the twins finished speaking, the sheets covering the table flew away, and the table was filled with cigarettes (huo) and flowers (jiàn).
These fireworks are about 30 centimeters long, 4 centimeters in diameter, and have a range of 200 meters after being weighted. They have detonation fuses and self-destruction fuses. When they hit something or are fired for more than a minute, they will explode into a ball of fireworks, enough to explode a glass bottle.
The prepared explosive liquid inside explodes. It also has a safety function. As long as the tail does not emit fire, the fuse will not work.
Charles saw the dark circles under the eyes of the two brothers. He took out the money and said, "Thank you for your hard work. This is the reward for your invention."
As he spoke, he put the remaining R&D funds on the table, and then asked: "How much does it cost to sell me a firework like this?"
The twin brothers had already calculated this, but Fred still said cautiously: "A dozen only costs two galleons."
Many of the parts of these fireworks were unable to be rubbed by hand, so they ordered them from Zuko's Joke Shop, thus earning some craft money.
As a result, Charles's answer made them feel nervous: "This price is not suitable."
The two brothers looked at each other and George said: "If you think it's expensive, you can make it cheaper."
Charles discussed with them, and finally the Centaur Liaison Office of the Ministry of Magic purchased Weasley fireworks from the two Mr. Weasleys at a price of 20 Galleons a dozen, and the contract was signed on the spot.
The price included the explosive fluid inside, but the Weasley brothers still got 30%, which was three times higher than their asking price.
"You actually work in the Ministry of Magic?"
"Or director?"
This moment frightened the Weasley brothers. This was even more incredible than seeing Snape washing his hair.
Charles proudly put away the contract and said to them: "If you want to serve in the Ministry of Magic in the future, come to me."
They immediately shook their heads. Arthur Weasley worked in the Ministry of Magic. The two brothers naturally knew that this extremely marginal department was used to arrange staff who were about to be expelled. Mrs. Weasley would cry to death if she entered.<
/p>
Two dozen fireworks have been made. Charles will accept the money first, and the Ministry of Magic will allocate a public fund to the Centaur Liaison Office. This part will go into his pocket after Lupine completes the process.
Now that the fireworks are ready, the next step is to measure and customize the fireworks nest that can be hung on a broomstick, and to put explosive liquid into the fireworks.
The glass bottle to hold the explosive liquid is simple, just use the penicillin or other penicillin bottles in the hospital. Buy them together next time you purchase supplies.
However, most of the prepared explosive fluids have been taken back by Snape for safekeeping. After all, they are dangerous goods. Dumbledore also supports it, so you have to ask him for it.
After Charles left the twins' dormitory, he thought about it and went to find Eleanor.
In the laboratory, Eleanor was labeling the new pharmaceutical raw materials she bought during the holidays and putting them on the shelves.
"Here he comes." Eleanor seemed to know that Charles was coming, "What do you want to say?"
Charles shook his head: "There is nothing to say."
Eleanor turned to look at him and asked seriously: "You really have nothing to say? You saw it next to the Leaky Cauldron that night."
However, Charles scratched his head and asked her: "Ah? Do you know where I am?"
"You can tell at a glance." Eleanor said, "The windbreaker you wore is the same as the one you wore when you went back from vacation."
Charles just shrugged after hearing this: "I see. I don't have anything to say. I'm not your father."
Eleanor wanted to hit him with something, but the potion ingredients in her hand were hard to find, so it would be wasted if she hit him.
"I was so angry just now!" She said as she took out a bag of cookies from the box and put it on the table, gesturing for Charles to try it. "Who does that bastard think he is? How dare he talk to me like that? What did he say?
If you ask me not to go to the bar with a shady man, he will feel distressed and I almost spit out my dinner!"
"Yes, that's how you feel now!"
At this time, Charles had just eaten a cookie, which tasted like pork liver, chicken liver, sheep liver and other animal livers mixed together and stored in a sealed jar for hundreds of years, and his whole face was distorted.
"What is this?" Charles looked at the bag of cookies as if he were seeing the most terrifying thing in the world, "Oh my god, it tastes terrible!"
Eleanor smiled proudly: "Remember the biscuits I made with the love agent? This is made with the hate agent, which makes people taste the taste they hate most."

Charles shook his head and said: "I can feel your mood, but I don't want to feel it again."
The effect of the hate agent is opposite to that of the love agent. It can make the user hate the person who takes the drug or a specific person. It can even act as an antidote to the love drug.
Charles thought to himself that this kind of cookie would definitely be of great use in the future.
Eleanor smiled proudly again, satisfied with her latest masterpiece.
Charles asked her: "Can you give me this bag of cookies?"
Eleanor replied: "No problem, take it."
Then she asked: "Aren't you going to ask about what happened that night?"
Charles shrugged and replied: "If you are willing to tell me, you will tell me sooner or later. If you are unwilling to tell me, I will not ask for trouble."
Eleanor pouted and said: "What a boring guy, I still want to tease you."
After saying that, she took out a bottle of potion from the box and placed it on the table.
Charles picked up the green bottle of shrinking potion and studied it, and asked curiously: "How are you going to play tricks on me?"
Eleanor showed a sly smile: "I would say that he is the fiancé forced on me by my family. In fact, I don't like him."
"Then what?" Charles asked with interest.
Eleanor said seriously: "I will tell you that I ran away from home and have no source of income. I can only rely on your support to survive in the future, otherwise I will have nothing to eat."
Eleanor thought that Charles would complain about the money she defrauded him, but Charles said: "That's great, I will find a place to lock you up and refine the potion for at least 12 hours a day. If you can complete the task every day,
Just eat a few slices of bread, bacon and a few carrots. If you can't complete the task, reduce the carrots, and be lazy and reduce the bacon."
Exploitation is a traditional art skill of British capitalists, and Charles just copied it.
Eleanor gritted her teeth and asked this guy: "Can you bear to do this to me?"
Charles thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then I'll give you a piece of fried chicken every day...hey...this is very unladylike!"
Eleanor no longer cares about being a lady or not, and now she just wants to beat him up.
