Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 567: No business without treachery

That night, Fred and George were engrossed in reading History of Magic, while Albert and Lee Jordan were sitting by the window playing cards, teasing the two of them carelessly.

"Gryffindor's first Quidditch game was against the Slytherin team. Wood is now practicing all day long, saying he wants to defeat Slytherin's Nimbus 2001. It's almost driving us crazy." Frey De couldn't help but complain.

At this moment, Kenneth Toler walked up to Albert and said that he wanted to make a deal with Albert.

"You want to sell amulets and apotropes to Muggle wizards at school?"

Albert looked away from the cards in his hand, looked at Kenneth Toller in astonishment, and asked, "Then what do you want from me? Do you plan to invite me to sell amulets together?"

"Yes, we can cooperate." Kenneth Toler said without hesitation, "If we have money, we can make it together."

hehe…

"I'm not interested at the moment, and no one will pay for that thing." Naturally, Albert didn't believe the other party's lies and declined politely.

"Follow me." Kenneth Toler stretched out his hand to pull Albert out of the common room, as if he planned to tell him something more private.

"Okay, let go!"

Albert said helplessly that he didn't like to mess around with strangers, and the relationship between the two parties was not that good yet.

Just as Albert and Kenneth Toller were leaving, Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked up at the leaving figures of the two people. After looking at each other, they all stood up and, driven by curiosity, Follow him secretly.

Kenneth Toller glanced at Albert, and then at the three people who were sneaking over. Although they were separated by a distance, it was not difficult to guess what they were thinking by looking at the appearance of the three people.

"Come here if you want to hear it!"

Albert glanced at Kenneth Toler and greeted the three of them.

The three of them walked over with smiles and did not forget to say hello to Kenneth Toller.

"You should know the legend of the Chamber of Secrets." Kenneth Toler glanced at Fred and the three of them, looked at Albert again, and said straight to the point.

"I know." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly. After he met the other person's eyes, he understood what Kenneth Toler wanted to say. He was a little surprised that this guy actually knew these things.

"I wrote to someone and asked, and he told me that fifty years ago, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was opened by the Slytherin heir." Kenneth Toller said mysteriously.

"We've known about this for a long time." George looked at Kenneth Toller with a strange face. He thought the other person wanted to say something, but this happened.

Kenneth Toler was choked and regretted letting the three people come over to cause trouble for him. He glared at Lee Jordan with dissatisfaction and continued: "There were many attacks at that time, which made the whole school panic? In the end, the famous Muggle girls from Ravenclaw died because of this."

"You are very ill-informed? Albert knew it on Halloween." Fred's face was filled with unconcealable disappointment, as if he was saying to Kenneth Toller: I thought you knew what the big deal was. Secret, it turned out that Albert was called out for this matter

"In the end, the murderer was caught. It is said that the man later became the gamekeeper at the school." Kenneth Toller glanced at Albert. He knew the relationship between Albert and the gamekeeper. not bad.

"We've known about this for a long time." Lee Jordan said to Albert, "I think it's better to go back and continue playing cards!"

"Listen to what I have to say." Kenneth Toler felt his chest was tight and he wanted to punch these annoying guys in front of him to the ground.

"I know what you mean? Do you think the attacks will continue." Albert finished the sentence directly for Kenneth Toler.

"Can you let me say it myself, you know it's very depressing to hold it in like this." Kenneth Toler couldn't help complaining, he was really surprised that Albert actually knew the information about the secret room. If he hadn't written home and asked, he would certainly not have been able to learn so much information.

"Hagrid... huh? I mean, Hagrid is not the heir of Slytherin. He was in Gryffindor House. How could he be the heir of Slytherin? That guy just disappeared because of the culprit. He was just an unlucky guy who was caught and used as a scapegoat." Kenneth Toller said this without hesitation. "Now, the Chamber of Secrets has been reopened by the heir of Slytherin. Filch's That cat will definitely not be the first to be targeted? Attacks will definitely happen again, and the school will be in panic again, and amulets and exorcisms will definitely sell well."

"I think you must be better at selling things than me." Albert said honestly? "And I don't have the patience to sell things."

"So we can work together." Kenneth Toler said seriously.

"Cooperation, how to cooperate?" Albert looked into Kenneth Toller's eyes and suddenly said, "I see, you want me to provide you with an amulet."

"Yes." Kenneth Toler said with a thumbs up.

"If I want to sell, I can definitely ask Fred, George and Lee Jordan to help sell things." Albert raised his hand and pointed to the three people next to him.

The three of them looked at Kenneth Toller with grins and said in unison: "Yes, you are redundant."

"Don't say that, I can provide you with a lot of conveniences." Kenneth Toler said, "We can make more money by working together, there is nothing wrong with it."

"I don't plan to sell amulets. Those things have no effect on the monsters in the secret room." Albert reminded, "If you want to sell them, you might as well wholesale a bunch of looking glasses. At least the looking glasses can still be used. Effect."

"Looking Glass?" Kenneth Toller shook his head and said, "Those things are ineffective, and they can be bought in Hogsmeade Village."

"You want to say that everyone buys amulets just for peace of mind?" Albert asked with a strange expression.

Kenneth Toller: “…”

"I'm not angry, not angry." He took several deep breaths and asked: "I think you can make some effective amulets, right?"

"I told you, those things have no effect on the monsters in the secret room."

"As you said, they just want peace of mind." Kenneth Toler said seriously, "Many people buy some fake and inferior products. At least what we sell is genuine."

"us"

"I don't have the materials." Albert said, "If you can help me get the materials, I will cooperate with you. Sixty-four points, you help find the materials, and don't say that I made it."

"what do you need?"

"Amethyst, or obsidian, guardian tree or purple shirt." Albert glanced at it and explained casually, "The first two are exorcists, and the latter two can make amulets to drive away dark creatures."

"As expected of you, I really found the right person."

"Honestly, the amulet is really not as practical as the looking glass. If you can detect it in advance..." Albert couldn't help being stunned when he said, and suddenly felt that this was a good idea. The basilisk is a dark creature. If you can create one that can detect With the siren of dark creatures, you don’t need to worry about encountering a basilisk all the time.

At least, you can detect it in advance and avoid it.

Albert couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. He knew the reason why the looking glass was made. It could detect suspicious people. Why couldn't he modify it to detect basilisks or dark creatures?

"I can help you make a finished product first. If anyone wants it, they can pay to order it, and then I will help you manufacture it." Albert raised his head and said to Kenneth Toler.

"That's a good idea."

The latter left with satisfaction.

"I don't think you actually need to cooperate with him." George said to Albert after Kenneth Toler left.

"The amulet may have some effect, but that's it. It will definitely have no effect on the monsters in the secret room." Albert shook his head and said, "Kenneth Toller wants to make some money, so let him sell it. Anyway, when the time comes If something is found to be ineffective, you can’t blame me.”
