CHAPTER XXXIX
Penny's murderous Cheng dù has clearly grown dramatically this school year, and it is certainly not just a few simple problems. When Penny pulled out a large tome of ancient scriptures, Gail's expression was already a little closer to Monet's.
Aunt Rowling lies! Where is Penny a housewife, is it okay to be a school bully who crushes everyone! The villain in Gail's heart covered his face and wanted to cry without tears.
He will never know that it was actually he who turned on the switch of "curiosity" and "curiosity" that made Penny what she is today.
"I've been able to read some of the ancient scriptures against the translation. These things, written in ancient scripts, are like the Bible, full of metaphors, and lacking in fixed forms everywhere. I'm confused! ”
"Don't worry, now we use spells and everything, it's in Latin and English. Ancient magic texts are actually of little use. Lily comforted Penny, who was a little frustrated.
But Penny and Seaver clearly disagree: "The origin of magic is a secret that everyone wants to know. The age of ancient magic scripts as recorded texts is the closest to the age of magic. That's what Penny came to after digging through the history books.
"Yes, so learning ancient magic scripts is undoubtedly one of the shortcuts to the origin of magic. What it says is very important. Seaver said, glancing at Gail, who was eating the biscuit with his head down. So far, it seems that Gale knows more about the origins of magic than anyone around him.
Gail pretended not to understand, tilting his head to look at Seaver in confusion. Gail felt that Severus's gaze had become sharper and sharper lately, and just being stared at like this gave him a feeling of hairs on his back. Although Severus was silent about many of the anomalies that he had on his face, it was clear that although Severus didn't ask, he was secretly guessing in his heart.
After a pleasant afternoon tea, Gale came up with the subject: "Let's dilute the potion and open a shop!" Women's money is best earned! ”
The other three people present obviously didn't expect Gail to come up with such a sentence. Seaver was better, and had long planned to use her talent to make money, but the Evans sisters, who didn't have to worry about eating and dressing, never thought that they could do this.
"Judging from the recent period, the effect of potions on ordinary people is actually several times greater than that on wizards. If we dilute and sell hair growth potions, skin beautification potions, and glory potions, it will definitely be a profitable deal. ”
"I don't think it's a good idea." It's still Penny who is objecting. "Not to mention the wizarding secrecy law, even judging from the current situation in the wizarding world, I don't think it's a good thing."
"I know." Gail nodded, "The more this is the case, the more we should accumulate a certain amount of strength capital before the real crisis comes." And it's not that dangerous. Gail even wrote the plan.
"From the selection of the store to the hiring of manpower, I have a rough plan. This matter is imperative, so we need to check the lack of meat to make sure that everything is safe. "One person counts short, two counts long. Gale is still sure of quietly opening a beauty shop in the cosmopolitan city of London. Even the Ministry of Magic would not set its sights on a small shop hidden in the city, let alone Voldemort's faction, which is malicious and high-minded to ordinary people.
Moreover, the shopkeeper is an ordinary person who has nothing to do with them.
"Who is this Shim-Edward?" Lily asked, a little confused, pointing to the item "operator".
"Oh, he was a good man with me before he was adopted by Sir Edward's family. And because it's a noble relationship, it seems to know something that ordinary people don't know, our business. But it's not very clear. This was discovered by his own attention. Gail thought of the greeting letter he received half a year ago, and said with emotion.
If you are only a supplier, then it is undoubtedly much safer for them. Moreover, Chim's ability to contact him at Hogwarts as an adopted son is a testament to his energy, even though it is only a greeting word. Who knows what Chim has been through all these years?
"So all you have to do is make a potion and give it to Chim? How do you keep you safe? After reading it, Penny was a little relieved.
Gail shrugged: "Since we can't use magic, we can only use the magic contract." ”
Since Gail had thought of everything he could think of, everyone had no opinion.
"Did you know that next year's World Summit will be held in Paris? I wonder if it will be very lively? Penny said casually, changing the subject.
By the time Gail and Seaver said goodbye to Mrs. Evans, it was already evening. The two of them walked all the way back to No. 19 Spider Tail Alley.
With school just two weeks away, Gail decided to spend the rest of his time strengthening the sensitivity and accuracy of his psychic use.
Gail could use spells without a wand, but Seaver couldn't, so he wanted to learn some physical skills now.
Without the guidance of a teacher, Seaver at most reads the knowledge in books to make his movements more flexible, but for attack skills, there is no sparring and actual combat, and everything is empty talk. This would be a waste of the good foundation laid by the first two doses of potential elixirs!
Although Gale can't help with the specific fighting skills, Gale is still a little impressed with the military pentathlon or something. For example, weight bearing, tolerance, and the ability to resist hits are all items that improve physical fitness. There are no special techniques that can enhance the strength of the body, isn't it just for Seaver?
So for the remaining two weeks, Severus began to run with weights, and trained in cold and heat. Gail sat happily under the porch and drank juice from Seaver's sweat profusely, not at all conscious of his own actions that would make Seaver's heart congested.
In the blink of an eye, it was September 1st, and the three children were still sent to the station by Mr. Evans this time. The back row of the car was crowded with Seaver and Gayle and the Evans sisters, who looked a little cramped. Mrs. Evans brinkled her face and said, "If you could use magic during the holidays, the seats in the back wouldn't be so cramped!" ”
When they arrived at the station, this time Mr. and Mrs. Evans didn't send a few people to the platform, because they had to take Penny back to school, and it was a bit too late.
After the three friends said goodbye to the elders with a small box in their hands, they went into the station. They can't wait to use their wands!
"Lily! Lily! Lily had only entered the platform nine and three-quarters when she heard someone calling her. Lily followed the voice and saw her best friend Mary popping her head out of the glass window of the box and smiling at her, and immediately smiled back: "I see you!" ”
"Let's go!" Gail saw Lily's happy smile and urged Lilidor to communicate with her fellow college mates.
"Gail, Seaver, I'm going to find Mary!" Lily waved at the two of them and ran to Mary's carriage.
"It looks like it's just the two of us!" Gail looked back at Sever, and when he saw Sever's slight nod, he took his free hand and went to find the empty box.
Also in the middle and back of the room, Gale found an empty box and immediately pulled Seaver in. There were no accidents during the trip. The two of them stayed in the box the whole time except for going to the bathroom, reading books and contacting spells, and even the "Road Robber" foursome disappeared, and the whole process was incredible.
It was just in the evening that it was raining outside, and the temperature began to drop.
"We can try 'waterproof and moisture-proof' to see if it works!" Gail wasn't worried about bad weather at all, but felt that it was a spell that had been practiced several times. Although he was able to shield himself from rain with his spiritual power, and his body had the function of being invulnerable to cold and heat since the Great Perfection of the Foundation, this did not prevent him from continuing to master the success rate of using his spells.
Gail discovered by accident that the more proficient he is at using a spell, the smoother his mana output will be, while also gradually reducing his mana use. This means that the higher the proficiency, the less mana a single spell will use. Gail naturally didn't hide his secrets from Lily and Seaver, and kept them both enthusiastic about the spell of contact.
Gail and Seaver walked down the path on the platform to the carriage, which seemed to have no power and had moved on its own, but Gail clearly saw the creature in the middle of the carriage, Thestrals.
Well, Gale did see death, the death of his biological mother. The unsightly-looking creature stood in the rain, seemingly unconcerned that its body was wet by the cold autumn rain. Gail wondered a little worriedly, would Thestrals catch a cold?
"Gail, what are you looking at?" Severus, who got into the car, shouted when he saw Gail in a daze at the wheel.
Seaver's voice succeeded in recalling Gail's divergent thinking. Before getting into the car, Gail couldn't help but give Thestrals, who pulled the car for him, a "waterproof and moisture-proof". I don't know if it's Gail's delusion, but the Thestrals' eyes that don't have the whites of their eyes seem to turn in their direction. But because of the darkness and rain, Gail thought it might be his delusion.
"Don't get in the car yet!" Seaver's voice became lower. Whenever Seaver spoke in a slightly lower voice than usual, it meant that Seaver was a little impatient or angry.
"Come on!" Gail moved quickly and immediately got into the car.
After Seaver, who was sitting in the car, pulled Gail up, he touched Gail's robe by the way, which was still dry, and then his expression turned cloudy.
Students from grades 2 to 7 from four houses entered the auditorium one after another. Most of the junior students were a bit wolf bèi by the rain, even the Slytherin students, so the two Gelsivers, who were dry and clean and free of rain and muddy water, were a bit conspicuous -
