Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 626

"Do you have a goal?" Ivan asked, he was reading the copy of "Advanced Potion Making".

"No!" Harry shook his head, "I haven't decided who to invite yet."

"How about Qiu, didn't you always like her?" Aiwen said, "I heard from Luna that she is single now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hermione kicked him under the table, and Ivan gasped.

They haven't seen much of Cho since Harry's failed date with Cho Chang.

Girls must be avoiding them, even if they are very low-key at DA activities.

But this is Harry's sad thing, Ivan shouldn't be so direct, and Hermione has never liked Qiu very much.

In her words, this guy seems too ambitious!

This is really an inexplicable evaluation. What does it mean to be too ambitious?But if Harry and Cho get back together...

"Not much, I'll find a female partner as soon as possible." Harry said absently, as if there was no special reaction, he buried his head a little lower, and continued to "Elixir of Life" in "Advanced Potion Making" Taking notes on a section, sometimes pausing to identify some useful additions the prince made to Libacio Pollachiga.

"That's up to you, by the way!" said Hermione. "You've got to be careful."

"Just to tell you one last time," Harry said impatiently, "I'm not returning this book, I've learned more from the Half-Blood Prince than Snape and Slughorn combined. Besides, Ivan is also watching..."

"I'm not talking about your stupid so-called prince." Hermione gave his book a fierce look, as if it annoyed her, "I still want to talk about the party girl, and you, Alvin , you also listen carefully."

"what?"

"Before I came here, I went to the bathroom and there were a dozen girls talking about how to get you to drink a love potion. They all hoped that either of you would take them to Slughorn It seems that they all bought the love potions produced by Fred and George, and they are said to work well!"

"My God, why didn't you confiscate that stuff?" Harry asked, seemingly inconceivable that Hermione's penchant for maintaining rules and regulations had let up at this juncture, "You should have confiscated these things, it's too dangerous! "

"That's right, what if we are confused?" Ivan continued.

"They didn't bring the potion into the bathroom, they were just discussing a strategy. I have no way to confiscate it. Their main target is you, Harry." Hermione said contemptuously, and gave Ivan another hard look, "And , don’t tell you that you will be confused by those love potions.”

"This kind of thing is hard to say. Fred and George produce high-grade love potion, which is colorless and odorless. It's very difficult..." Ivan's voice became lower and lower, because Hermione was using a kind of courageous you to go on, You just stared at him with dead eyes.

Ivan touched his ears subconsciously. Since he turned into a cat to comfort her when he watched Quidditch training last time, Hermione has recently developed the habit of rubbing the cat's ears. To be honest, the pain is not very painful, but shame.

He's not a cat, he's not a cat, he's not a cat!This important thing should be said three times.

"Hmph, I asked Fred for the number and types of love potions they sell to Hogwarts. I suspect that even the Half-Blood Prince can't think of a way to make a dozen different love potions at the same time. Come on." Having said that, Hermione glared at the book fiercely again, "So be careful, don't drink casually. Also, invite someone quickly. That way others won't feel that there is still a chance, I No kidding, Harry, it's the party tomorrow night, and they're impatient."

"Okay, okay!" said Harry, as if genuinely frightened.

At this time, he inexplicably thought of Ginny again.

He shook his head vigorously, telling himself to try not to think about Ginny, even though she kept appearing in his dreams.

"You don't want to invite Ginny, do you?" Ivan said quietly, pulling back Harry's thoughts that had drifted away.

With a bang, he knocked over the ink bottle, making a loud noise.

Hermione flicked her wand hastily, and all the spilled ink disappeared.

"What did you say?!" Harry looked at Ivan in shock, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly lowered his head again, not daring to look at Ivan.

He hadn't learned Occlumency from Snape, but he knew how to avoid Legilimency and not meet the other's eyes.

At this moment, Harry really suspected that Ivan had used insanity on him.

Evan can do it, right?Alvin can definitely do it.

"It's nothing, I'm just talking casually, what are you excited about?" Ai Wen said, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

He suddenly felt very interested in Harry's appearance. Judging from this overreaction, Harry must have been thinking about Ginny just now.

"I was distracted just now!" Harry hurriedly changed the subject. "By the way, Hermione, didn't Filch ban everything from Weasley's Wizard's Wheezes?"

"Isn't it obvious, who cares what Filch forbids?" Hermione said casually.

After cleaning up the spilled ink, she pulled the long roll of parchment upwards on the desk and resumed writing her dissertation for her Arithmancy class.

"Seriously, Harry, if there's a chance, I should really show you the sales of Fred and George's store." Ivan said, "It's a miracle, and I didn't know that this thing costs more than newspaper advertisements." more income."

After seeing the astonishing sales of the Twins Joke Store in the past six months, Aiwen had to admit that it was really not profitable to run a newspaper. Unfortunately, he had always thought that he was rich for a while.The sales of the joke products produced by Fred and George are amazing. The key point is that they not only sell joke products, but also sell various protective magic items. After receiving the order from the Ministry of Magic and sending out the first batch of goods, their products are completely opened sold out.

The wizards snapped up all kinds of things, as if they didn't want money. These things are much better than those that protect people from evil spells on the market.

It can be said that Fred and George's shop is now the most profitable shop in Diagon Alley, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Ivan also sends some of his alchemy research results to Fred and George from time to time to keep the product innovative.

Judging from the feedback, the sales of new products are also very good. They have hired nearly two hundred house elves to produce these things.

Chapter 1387 Secret Romance

Hogwarts, as the place with the most house elves in the wizarding world, has more than 200.

In just half a year, the number of house-elves working at Fred and George's almost surpassed that of Hogwarts, which was unbelievable.

The key is that they are all employed, which is even more incredible, even if the salary is very low.

If the line continues to expand, Fred and George will hire more house-elves.

The two of them also have this plan, and they are still discussing the matter of borrowing money from Gringotts in their recent letter to Ivan.

Considering that the war is coming, the uncertainty is too great, and the risk is too high, Ivan does not agree to borrow money.

Gringotts' money won't be forfeited just because of the war, and there's no such thing as bad debts with the goblins.

His suggestion is to continue to transfer part of the production line that does not require magic to Muggles, subject to the premise of the secrecy law.

This will save a lot of cost while expanding productivity. He also wrote to his father about it.

Fred and George made a lot of money on their protective gear, but at Hogwarts they were best known as joke products.

They are now the largest purveyor of prank products and are utter legend among students.

"How do they sell these things into the school?" Harry continued in surprise. "Aren't all owls checked? How can those girls bring love potions into the castle?"

"They sent those as perfume and cough drops as part of the owl order service."

"Oh, you know so much."

Hermione glared at him ferociously, just like she glared at Ivan and "Advanced Potion Making".

"It's written on the back of the bottle they showed me and Ginny over the summer," she said coldly, "but I don't put drugs in other people's drinks."

"Yeah, you really don't need it." Ivan said, "But seriously, I don't mind if you drug me."

Hermione raised her head and stared at Ivan again, but it didn't last long, because her face turned red quickly.

"Come on, you two, I just got out of Ron and Lavender's torment." Harry said in a mock pleading tone. "The problem now is that Filch is playing tricks, isn't it? These girls You can bring it into school by disguising it! Why can't Malfoy wear a necklace..."

"Oh, Harry, don't mention that again!"

"Ah, why?" Harry asked, "Isn't this incident suspicious? The murderer has not been found yet."

"It's suspicious, but it's a bad murder," Evan said.

"It just fits Malfoy's style, he doesn't have any brains." Harry said relentlessly.

"Well, Harry, look." Hermione sighed and explained patiently, "The detectors can detect bad luck spells and concealment spells, can't they? They are used to detect dark magic and dark magic items Yes, a powerful spell like the one on the necklace can be detected in a few seconds. But something in the wrong bottle won't be detected, no spell or spy can detect that. Besides , the love potion is not black magic, and it is not dangerous..."

"You put it lightly," Harry muttered. "This thing sounds dangerous."

"The problem now is that if all the things in the bottle want to enter the school, Filch needs to check and judge whether they are cough potions or something else, which is fundamentally different from black magic items like necklaces. "Ivan said, "Because he can't use tools, we all know that Filch is not a very good wizard, can he distinguish..."

He stopped suddenly, and Harry and Hermione looked up at the same time.

They all heard someone approaching among the dark bookshelves behind them, footsteps from far to near.

After about a few seconds, Mrs. Pince's vulture-like face emerged from the corner. The sunken cheeks, parchment-like skin and long hooked nose were clearly illuminated by the lamp she held in her hand.

"It's time for the library to close, put the borrowed books back..." she said, her eyes falling on the textbooks in front of Harry, and her voice rose sharply, "My God, what did you do to that book? You wicked child!"

"It's not from the library, it's from me!" Harry said hastily, as he picked up the "Advanced Potion Making" from the table, but Madam Pince's eagle-clawed hand had already grabbed it.

"Root!" she hissed, "blasphemy! defilement!"

"It's just something written on the book!" Harry argued, pulling the book back from her hand.

It didn't help, she looked like she was going to have a heart attack and could collapse at any moment.

Ivan and Hermione hurriedly packed up their things, took Harry's arm and dragged him away.

"You shouldn't be arguing with her."

"Yeah, she'll ban you from the library. Honestly, why do you have to bring that stupid book?"

"It's not my fault she's yelling." Harry muttered, stopped abruptly, and looked up at Ivan and Hermione, "Wait, do you think she will hear us say that Phil Qi bad words? I always feel that there is something between them..."

Ivan and Hermione were stunned for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed really possible.

Mrs. Filch and Mrs. Pince's secret love affair, there seems to be an ulterior relationship between them.

The three made their way to the Gryffindor common room, arguing over Filch's relationship with Mrs. Pince.This gossip was indeed very novel and interesting, but due to the lack of conclusive evidence, it soon became unbearable, and the topic naturally shifted to the Christmas arrangements in the near future.

"Ron invited us to the Burrow yesterday, but because of that incident, I declined." Harry said, hesitating for a moment, "Evan, can he stay with us?"

He was referring to the summoning of demons, which they and Dumbledore had arranged to do this Christmas break.

Therefore, Ivan and Harry can't leave the school, and have to stay in Hogwarts for Christmas.

And Hermione and Elaine, Ivan had talked to Dumbledore before, and the principal agreed to his plan.

"I can't say this well, I need Dumbledore's consent, but I think since the four of us are going, there should be no problem with Ron." Ivan hesitated, and continued, "The key question is Does he want to come with us, he hardly talks to me, Hermione, Elaine now."

"He just hasn't figured it out yet," said Harry. "Don't worry, I'll tell him and he'll make it up."

Chapter 1388 Amazing Girls

How Harry told Ron, no one knows.

On the other hand, the next morning, he hastily determined his female partner for the Christmas ball.

Harry took Hermione's advice because it was so obvious.

Ever since they returned to the common room last night, girls had been bringing Harry food or drinks mixed with love potions.

Like Romida?Vannie kept pestering him, giving Harry a drink of canyon water and passing him coffee.

In addition, there are chocolate cauldrons, flaming whiskey, home-made food, and more.

In the end, Harry really had no reason to refuse, and he couldn't say that he suspected that there was a love potion in these things, so he could only hide in his bedroom as if fleeing for his life.

The next morning, he announced that he had confirmed the candidate for the party's female companion.

It's Luna!

This choice was beyond everyone's expectations. Facing Harry's invitation, Luna was so excited.

Because no one had ever invited her to a party, especially such an important one.

There was no need for Harry to publicize it. It took less than an hour for Peeves, who overheard the conversation between the two, to spread the news to everyone in the school.

"Silly baby invited crazy girl to the party! Silly baby is in love with crazy girl! Silly baby is in love with crazy girl!" he was yelling everywhere, giggling as if no one would know.

In a blink of an eye, the whole school knew about Harry?Potter invites Luna?Lovegood went to Slughorn's party.

What's ridiculous is that when he told Ai Wen and them the news, he also asked everyone not to make it public...

"There's no need for us to say, Harry, that Peeves has already told the story."

"what?"

"I'm so glad you took her, Harry, she's so excited." Ginny came over to tell Harry about it.

"Oh yes, well," said Harry, "it's nothing, I invited her as a friend."

His voice was getting weaker because Ginny had gone over to her friend.

At dinner, Ron followed Harry and sat back next to Ivan, Hermione, and Elaine.

For the first time since the quarrel, he looked a little awkward, probably Harry had said something to him.

Ron seems to want to reconcile with everyone in this way as if nothing happened. If only Hermione and Ivan are here, this trick should work well. Hermione is too soft-hearted, and Ivan doesn't care, but Elaine doesn't care at all. Give him this chance, there is no such thing as forgiveness in the kid's dictionary.

Without saying a word, she quickly dragged Hermione away, saying that she was going to prepare for the party...

At eight o'clock in the evening, Alvin, Harry, Colin and Dean came to the foyer.
