Study Days at Hogwarts

Perhaps out of fun or other reasons, Fred and George told Ron exactly what Albert said.

Ron, who had never had a Galleung in his pocket, was shocked when he suddenly heard that Banban, who was sleeping in his schoolbag, was worth tens of thousands of Galleons.

Ron reached out to cover his chest and took several deep breaths to calm his heart that was pounding in his chest.

"Are you lying to me?"

It's not that Ron doesn't believe it, but Fred and George always like to play pranks on him, and their words sound like they are lying to themselves.

If Scabbers was really that valuable, Percy would have sold it long ago, so how could he give it to him.

"Why are you lying to me? Albert said that Muggles especially like to study creatures that live for a long time. I remember that your mouse lived longer than ordinary mice." Fred said solemnly: " It’s not surprising if someone lives more than ten years longer than others, but if someone lives twice as long as others, everyone will wonder how he lived so long.”

"Maybe... maybe, he drank the elixir of life."

In fact, Ron only understood that Banban was so valuable simply because he had lived for a long time.

Well, if you think about it carefully, Banban seems to have lived a really long time.

"So, do you want to sell Scabbers?" Fred and George put their arms around Ron's shoulders and asked, "This is a rare opportunity. A mouse can be exchanged for tens of thousands of Galleons in Muggle coins, or even more. It’s so much, I’ve made a lot of money.”

"this……"

Ron's lips trembled slightly, and just as he was about to say the word "sell", Hermione next to him said: "Ron, they are lying to you, can't you tell?"

"What?"

Ron's mind was in turmoil.

"How can a mouse be so valuable? Do you know how many pounds are worth tens of thousands of galleons?" Hermione looked at Ron speechlessly, thinking that the other man must have been blinded by the money, and he was so stupid. Believe Fred and George's lies.

"So... you are really lying to me!"

Ron continued to cover his chest and almost couldn't breathe. The intense emotions were very bad for the heart.

"We didn't lie to you." Fred and George said confidently: "Albert did say that your mouse was very valuable. He thought that the Muggle biologist, well, that seems to be the name, he If a Muggle-speaking biologist knew about it, he would definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it and do research on it."

After saying that, both of them looked at Lee Jordan and asked him to speak.

"Albert did say that last night." Lee Jordan was stared at by the two of them, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Albert really said such a thing?" Hermione looked at the three of them suspiciously, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"I said it, of course I did."

"You don't understand, Albert has never liked telling lies." Fred said seriously: "He likes to use the truth to deceive people, so what he says is usually true."

"Lie to people with the truth?" Hermione couldn't understand, how could she lie to people with the truth?

"Sometimes the truth hits people harder than lies. We don't know much about the Muggle side, but Albert rarely tells lies." Lee Jordan seemed to have heard something, and then added, "However, He also said that even if he did sell the mouse, it would be difficult to convert Muggle coins into galleons."

Ron had understood that Scabbers was indeed worth the price, but he could not sell Scabbers into tens of thousands of galleons.

So, it's approximately equal to...nothing.

Ron seemed to see the mountains of Galleons in front of him, and he grew wings and flew away.

If it weren't for his young age and good heart endurance, Ron would have been unable to breathe and passed out.

"Ahem, don't be discouraged, it's just that it's more difficult to turn that mouse into Galleons." Fred was not embarrassed at all to trick his brother.

"That's basically none."

"No, there is a difference." George said seriously, "At least, you have a dream."

"Stop daydreaming Ron, money never falls from the sky." Hermione turned to look at the silent Harry and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you, Harry."

"Nothing." Harry hesitated for a moment and said, "My application form is not signed."

"It's not a big deal. You can sneak away to Hogsmeade. We do that all the time." Fred comforted.

"Harry, if you want to go to Hogsmeade, you can come to us. We know many passages to the outside world." George said with a smile.

"Black is looking for Harry, he should stay at school." Hermione glared at the Weasley twins dissatisfied.

"Black will not appear in Hogsmeade." Fred said disapprovingly: "Albert has already divined it. The guy has no wand and is not a threat. If Black does appear, just a full body binding spell will be enough." Earn a large bounty.”

"Don't listen to their nonsense Harry." Hermione said angrily: "You should let the Ministry of Magic and the Dementors deal with Black instead of taking the risk yourself."

"With all due respect, the Ministry of Magic can't catch Black at all, otherwise that guy wouldn't be on the run now." Fred glanced at him and said, "It's better to hope that the Ministry of Magic can catch Black than to expect it to rain galleons from the sky."

"Harry, what you should be worried about is not Black, but the Dementors." George said, "Albert has always believed that Dementors are more dangerous than Black."

"I will write and tell Mrs. Weasley about this," Hermione threatened. She knew how to get the twins to give up their foolish ideas.

"Oh, well, you beat Hermione." Fred and George finally succumbed to Hermione's threats.

If their mother knew that they were trying to persuade Harry to go to Hogsmeade, she would definitely send them a howling letter.

"When are you going to catch Black?" Ron, who had been silent just now, suddenly asked.

"I don't know, Albert said we have to wait for a chance to catch Black." Fred and George actually didn't know when they would wait.

"When?" Ron muttered, "Remember to call me when the time comes."

"I want to go too," Harry whispered.

"The premise is that we have to master the physical guardian angel before Albert is willing to take us to capture Black." George guessed Ron's little thoughts and reminded: "Albert obviously thinks that we are in the process of capturing Black. You’ll encounter dementors and even fight with them.”

"Harry, Black is not a mobile money bag." Hermione was a little angry. He felt that both Harry and Ron had ignored the danger of Black. "Besides, the principal mentioned at the opening dinner not to start a fight with the Dementors. conflict."

"Hermione, Albert was on the train and had already used the Patronus to fool the Dementors."
