Study Days at Hogwarts

The effect of the happy spell gradually disappeared by lunch time, and the smile on Albert's face also faded. As he ate, he listened intently as Fred and George discussed the possibility of making Laughing Taffy, each trying to put a happy spell on the other's pumpkin pie, which of course had no effect.

"It seems that your Laughing Toffee is about to fail." Lee Jordan poked the spelled pumpkin pie with the fork in his hand and asked Albert, "Can this thing still be eaten?"

"probably not."

"What?" Li Jordan was a little confused.

"I remember that there are magical animals and plants that can achieve similar effects." Albert raised his hand and tapped his forehead, and began to read through the knowledge about potions and magical animals in his mind, "Oh, by the way, it's Pu Rong. That thing can be equipped with a laughing potion, and I think you can use the laughing potion to make your laughing taffy."

"Laughing potion?" Fred and George could see the joy and excitement on each other's faces. They didn't expect that they could actually create laughing taffy.

"There really is such a thing." Although Li Jordan did not doubt Albert's words, he still couldn't help but ask.

"Of course there is. The famous potion master Zygmunt Bacchi has records about laughter potions in his "Book of Potions". However, this book is in the restricted book area." Albert reminded vaguely. He said, "Be careful when you go to borrow books, so you don't get caught by Filch."

"It's not our first time there. We know what to do." Fred and George both gave Albert a reassuring expression.

"Well, that's right." Albert added, "You can also use Ariot's leaves, which are one of the ingredients of the laughter potion. As for the antidote, let me think about it... Well, I remember it should be Heartbreak bugs produce a syrup.”

"You can also try turning the two raw materials upside down. You should be able to create sentimental candies. As for the proportion, you need to try it yourself." Albert gave the two of them some suggestions casually.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

"As expected of Albert!"

At this moment, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all opened their mouths and stared in surprise. They didn't expect to be able to do this. They even saved time looking for the antidote, and Albert gave it to them. Clear tips.

The next moment, Fred and George both reached out to grab something. One of them took out a quill, the other took out a notebook, and listed a series of items such as Puff Down, Laughing Potion, Zygmunt Budge, The Book of Potions, Ariot's Leaves, and Heartbreak Bug Syrup. Write down the keywords.

When they are free, they go to the library to check out relevant information. The twins also know that Albert has no time and will not help them research these things. They can only rely on them to spend time and energy to try. However, now that there is key technical support, all that is left is to prepare the dosage of the medicine and manufacture the corresponding antidote.

"Although the Laughing Taffy is good, I feel like it can't be sold for much." As soon as Lee Jordan finished speaking, he was glared at by Fred and George.

"That's true." Albert nodded, "It's impossible to make a lot of money from Laughing Toffee."

"Can you shut up?" Fred and George said in unison.

"Actually, you can do some research on this and create food that makes people feel happy when they eat it. This is the product that really makes money."

"Eating food that makes people feel happy?" Fred frowned and asked, "Is that what you said before? Can laughter potion really do this?"

"I don't know, it mainly depends on the proportion." Albert actually didn't know. He just gave the Weasley twins some ideas and asked them to try it. If they succeeded, it would mean a huge profit. If you fail, you will lose some raw materials and time.

"Are you referring to magic food?" George asked. He felt that since Albert mentioned it specifically, it should be very profitable, otherwise how could he pay special attention to it?

"Honeydukes' Honey Bee Candy is the one that lifts your feet a few inches off the ground when you suck it." Albert casually gave an example to the three of them, "I dare say there's some added to the candy. Dried Billywig Sting.”

Sizzling Bee Candy is indeed one of Honeydukes' best-selling products. Students who go to Hogsmeade will try the Sizzling Bee Candy and enjoy the wonderful feeling of having their feet off the ground.

The twins quickly started taking notes again, still mumbling something to themselves: "This is a good idea, okay..."

"Knowledge is the greatest wealth of mankind." Lee Jordan couldn't help but sigh. He also realized that with just a few suggestions from Albert, Fred and George would be able to make several more people in their stores in the future. The products he grew, and he just talked about it casually.

"Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind." Albert corrected seriously, "That is the motto of Ravenclaw."

Lee Jordan was a little dazed, but he heard Albert say again: "However, I agree with what you just said: knowledge is the greatest wealth of mankind."

"If you don't have a job in the future, you can develop magic food, which should be very popular." Albert took out his note and wrote this down.

Well, another way to make money.

Harry, Ron and Hermione, who were sitting next to each other and eating, were all a little stunned when they listened to the brief conversation between the four of Albert.

Ron was even more surprised and speechless. He never thought that Albert would actually talk about the so-called way to make money. Moreover, seeing how Fred and George took notes quickly, he couldn't help but wonder if he should also He took out his notes and wrote down what he just said.

Ron also knew that Harry had bet money on Slytherin, but he had not yet been able to get the money back from Slytherin.

Fred and George must have also won their bets. What made him feel complicated was that although they had not gotten back their winnings, they still believed that they could get their money back.

"Albert, do you know who Nico Flamel is?" Hermione asked expectantly.

"Well, why are you asking this?" Albert looked at the three people with expectant faces and raised his eyebrows.

"We have read a lot of books, but we haven't even found his shadow." Harry said hurriedly: "You must know, right?"

If you can get the answer from Albert, you can save a lot of trouble.

"Yeah, I know." Albert nodded to show that he did know.

"Who is he?" the three said in unison.

"Nicholas Flamel, he is..." Albert paused suddenly, looked at the three of them again, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It seems that you are very interested in what the big dog is guarding." interest?"

"Do you know what is there?" Hermione was surprised. She didn't understand how Albert knew these things.

Could it be Hagrid?

"This has nothing to do with you." Albert said seriously: "Of course, it has nothing to do with me either,"

"We just want to know who Nico Flamel is, nothing else." Hermione tried to argue that she had not given up on getting the answer from Albert.

"Don't get involved, it's a big pit with a lot of trouble in it." Albert reminded kindly: "Of course, if you want to know, just go to the library to find it yourself, or ask Hagrid, he will definitely also Know something."

"Hagrid refused to say."

"But how do you know that?" Harry asked curiously, "I mean you seem to know a lot of things."

"I won't tell you." Albert shrugged, "You won't guess it anyway."

"I hate his bad taste." Ron muttered quietly. He must have done it on purpose, or maybe he didn't know it at all.

Of course, this is just angry talk.

Just as the three of them gathered together and whispered, Slytherin's Flint rushed out of the toilet angrily, seemingly ready to settle the score with the person who attacked him.

After all, anyone who is treated like this several times will feel angry.

"cover me."

Fred secretly pulled out his wand, gave George and Lee Jordan a look, and used their cover to cast a happy spell on Flint.

The next moment, the anger on Flint's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a stupid-looking smile, and then he couldn't help laughing.

This sudden laughter made everyone feel a little baffled.

In order to prevent Slytherin people from stirring up trouble, Truman also gathered around with a debt collection team.

"What are you doing?" Professor McGonagall, who had already sensed something was wrong, walked towards this side, looked at Flint who was laughing, and frowned.

"He seemed to be suffering from some illness, and suddenly he couldn't stop laughing." Truman raised his hands to cover his face, looking like you were sick.

"Perhaps, we should send the man to Madam Pomfrey, he clearly needs treatment."

"Is this... a happy spell?" Professor McGonagall could see Flint's situation at a glance, "Which of you cast a spell on him?"

"Spell? I thought Flint had a disease that would kill him if he didn't smile." Lee Jordan almost had shock written on his face.

The members of the debt collection team who gathered around couldn't help laughing, as if they were infected by Flint, and they looked very stupid.
