August 28th.
Three days before the start of the school year.
Ethan and Cassandra stood at the gate of the manor together.
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.
Ethan had no choice but to accompany her to Diagon Alley, and then stayed in her manor for another day.
Originally, the two of them didn’t need to buy extra textbooks. Before they entered school, they had almost bought all the textbooks for the required courses.
But the textbooks for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class 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 he stole other people’s experiences and adventures, the stories are true, and other people also know that there is some truth in them, otherwise it would not be popular.
The price is a bit expensive, costing more than 30 gold galleons in total.
He has calculated the money of the little wizards from Muggle families, and it just happens that buying these this year can spend it 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, when he wrote back to the Weasley twin brothers, he said that he was going to Cassandra’s house. It was not long before the school started, so he didn’t have time to visit their house. He would go next summer vacation.
But soon he received a reply. The village of Ottery-St. Catchpole where their family lived was also in Devonshire, only a few dozen miles away from the Weasley family’s manor.
After Ethan finished visiting Cassandra’s house, they could come directly to pick Ethan up and take him to their home.
As pure bloods, they naturally knew the location of the Weasley family’s manor. Even though they had not been invited to the Weasley family’s banquet for many years, the location of the Weasley family’s manor had not changed. The Weasley family once had a glorious past.
“How about it, isn’t it cool!”
If this car could be driven out, they would have gone to Hogwarts to show it off. This thing is much more powerful than a flying broom.
Ethan gave a thumbs up.
He immediately had the idea of getting a flying car, even if it would not be used too often, but it would be cool!
“Have fun, and see you at Hogwarts!”
Cassandra saw the car stopped, 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 what my mother taught me is useful!
Cassandra muttered in her heart.
After Ethan got in the car, the twin brothers sang in unison.
“Oh, are you meeting the parents?”
“What about Penelope Cruvatte?”
“What should Qiu Zhang do?”
“And our Gryffindor know-it-all Miss Hermione Granger!”
“I just came here to stay for a day or two at the invitation of Mrs. Worley. Don’t think too much.”
“Really?”
The two brothers looked at Ethan as if they were idiots. Is it so easy to get into the door of the Wally family? Is it really okay for you to turn around 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 if you drive in the sky, it’s just more bumpy.
“What’s going on with this car?”
Ethan didn’t want to dwell on this topic, and he couldn’t explain it to two single guys.
“My father transformed it. He is very interested in everything about Muggles. He works in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department of the Ministry of Magic and is now the Office Manager.”
“In other words, your father really abused his power. His job was to prohibit the misuse of Muggle items, but he ended up using them 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.
Moreover, in the original book, this flying car was discovered by Muggles and reported in the newspapers, but their father was still fine. It can be seen that this ban is not aimed at pure-bloods.
Muggles are still targeted. 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 doesn’t count as a violation of the rules, right?”
It’s a good old tradition of Hogwarts.
Arthur Weasley doesn’t seem to be a quiet person. I remember that there was a record that he was caught by the administrator before Filch and was severely punished.
“That’s right, otherwise we would all be fired!”
The three of them 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 skills, the quantity and quality of prank products will increase sharply.
Especially the Philosopher’s Stone, which can turn stone 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. There was no need to hide anything about this now.
“Do you think I can do it?””
Yes, I can. Nico taught me this.
But I have never experimented with 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 magical power to generate the Philosopher’s Stone in the alchemy array. They have to be alive. The higher the magic power in their bodies, the better. It doesn’t matter if they are wizards or magical animals.
Nico 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 appear.
Later, he found a place with abundant magic power and used extremely rich magic power to refine the Philosopher’s Stone, which was successful.
But 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 production of the Philosopher’s Stone.
Hogwarts should be a piece of land with abundant magic power that the four founders found together. This may be the reason why it has been able to keep running for so many years.
“That’s the Philosopher’s Stone!”
“How come you can’t do it!”
The twins’ faces fell, as if they had lost something.
Then Ethan introduced Nicolas Flamel’s home to them.
The two brothers were very excited to hear it, and they began to complain about Dumbledore, asking why he didn’t send their brothers 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 quite wizarding 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 have thought it was a farmyard in the countryside of England.
Which pure-blood wizard feeds pigs and grows vegetables by himself? It’s too embarrassing.���
Hearing the roar of the car, the Weasley family members all ran out to greet Ethan. Mr. Weasley was not at home because he was working.
Ethan was also surprised to see Harry. In the letter he received, he said that he had visited Ron’s house. If Ethan replied, he would send it directly there.、
“”Child, welcome to the Burrow!”
Molly came forward and gave Ethan a hug. He had heard his twin sons say Ethan’s name many times, and Harry was also quite familiar with him, but they had never met officially until today.
“Ethan, what does Nicolas Flamel look like? I heard he is 600 years old.” (To read exciting novels, 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 body from aging.”
They came to the burrow while chatting and laughing. 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 threw one into his mouth. It tasted quite good, not too sweet, full of milk flavor. It should be made by Molly herself.
“Look over there, this is the dwarf puff we bred, how is it?”
Following Fred’s finger, Ethan saw a furry little ball on the windowsill. Is this puff?
Ethan really didn’t notice it.
It’s in the book”Where are the Fantastic Beasts?” It’s a fairly common animal, distributed all over the world.
XX Other magical animals, that is, harmless level, have spherical bodies covered with soft hair, and are docile in nature. They won’t get angry even if they are thrown around.
But this thing has a very long and thin tongue, which will stretch into the wizard’s nostrils to eat the wizard’s boogers when the wizard is sleeping. Ethan couldn’t accept this.
“If you can breed them in large quantities, there should be a good market for them in Hogwarts.”
Ethan couldn’t accept it, but the kids in the wizarding world liked it.
And the size of this one, if it’s an adult, is only one-third the size of a normal cattail, 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 several hundred gold Galleons together?”
Ethan looked at the two brothers in disbelief. Just relying on his Bafe Brain Refresher, more than a month before the exam, the two of them have earned more than 400 gold Galleons together.
Even if they spent some money on the experiment this summer, it’s impossible to use it all!
The small props they have cost very little and don’t use any precious materials.[]
“It’s all Gilderoy Lockhart’s fault, if it weren’t for him we wouldn’t be like this.”
Talking about this, the two brothers wanted to cry but had no tears.
They bought a lot of raw materials right after the holiday, and planned 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 most beloved sister Ginny, and they would cover the expenses.
Originally thought that it was only seventy gold Galleons, which was not a big deal. They earned it in less than a week during the final period.
But when they received the letter from Hogwarts at the end of July, they were stunned. The new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts designated textbooks, and a set cost more than thirty gold Galleons, which was almost the price of all other subject textbooks added up.
If that was all, the two would not have to go through so much trouble. The key to this is that the Weasley family is poor and they don’t save money. They just spend whatever they have. (They go traveling when they win the lottery, which means they don’t have the habit of saving money.)
In previous years, they could use Bill and Charlie’s old books as textbooks, but not this year. The Weasley family’s expenses are high, and all five children need them.
The pressure now fell on the twins. If they had no money, the pressure would be on Arthur.
In the end, the twins took out the money for the textbooks of five people, and 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 he came to Hogwarts to attend classes just to boost sales of his own books!
“Okay, how many gold galleons do you need?”
After knowing the reason, Ethan couldn’t help laughing.
“Thirty gold Galleons is enough!”
The twins are used to spending lavishly recently. In the past, they had to be cautious when asking for ten Galleons.
The school has just started, and the Bafe Brain Refresher is not selling well. In addition, the breeding speed of the dwarf puff is not fast. If they want to form a scale of sales, they must start quickly, so they 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.
The twins were so moved that they almost called dad!
At lunch time, the Weasley family’s dishes were not rich, but the quantity was quite sufficient. Each person had seven or eight sausages, plus fried eggs, ham and potatoes, and they were quite full.
