The day before the Christmas break ended, William and Hermione returned to Hogwarts.

They didn't take the waterway this time, let alone ride the toad, and it is estimated that they will ride again in their lives...... The shadow in my heart is too big.

apparitions took the two to Hogsmeade, where they returned to Hogwarts in Thestrals.

This is the wizard's trip, safe and fast!

Back at school, William and Hermione separated and returned to their respective house common rooms.

But the lounge was empty, and everyone had to take the train to the school in the evening.

Out of boredom, William went to the Gryffindor common room to find his twin brothers.

The three sat down in the empty common room, and Fredra looked at William, asking him how he had flooded the Slytherin common room.

On the day of the holiday, there were not a few little wizards who saw William and Hermione under the Black Lake, and this matter had long been rumored.

The twin brothers are now particularly interested in this matter, and they are inspired to flood Slytherin as well.

They plan to sneak into the Slytherin common room and blow up the toilet pipes.

But after only three actions, Percy reported them, and Professor Snape locked them up for several days.

Now the twins have refused to talk to Percy.

William was quick to explain what had happened that day.

"So, we can't go to the Black Lake in the future?" Fred sighed, "Those merfolk tribes are too vindictive. ”

"It's fine, as long as we trade fairly with them." William leaned back in his chair and said softly.

"Mr. Scamander has given me some good ways to effectively pull in the relationship with the merfolk."

"But you have to take your time to get along with them, but don't go to the Black Lake lately, especially Cedric, who is the mermaid's number one enemy."

To be precise, all three of them were pitted by Cedric.

William threw Fred and George a badge, "This is the latest product I've made, it's called the Warm-Up Badge." ”

After the two of them put the badge on their chests, they entered the magic power, and a warm current hit.

"Very good, this thing can sell well." Fred blinked excitedly, and he quickly spotted a business opportunity.

"Not only can we sell it at school, but we can also sell it in Diagon Alley."

In the past, the most powerful product in their store was the map, which was highly technical and could not be imitated by others.

But their customers are only those students and parents, and the audience for this badge is too much.

"Is it easy to imitate?" George said worriedly.

He was afraid that things would be sold, and in a few days there would be a copycat.

"No, the core of this badge is an alchemy core engraved with ancient magic scripts.

Around the core, a lot of cold protective magic is cast, which Nicol has created.

It is difficult for others to crack and not to say, forcibly open it, and the badge will be automatically destroyed. ”

There is no such thing as a one-year warranty in the wizarding world, and there is certainly no such thing as patent protection.

If you want to protect, it's all up to the magic of a wizard.

William said this, and both George and Fred were relieved.

Soon, the three of them discussed the price and plan of the sale.

"By the way, the Forbidden Forest psychedelic mushroom is ripe, and you can pick it in the next few days." Fred said.

Psychedelic mushrooms are extremely valuable magical herbs and an important part of the elixir.

The price of this thing is the same as gold, and William and the others don't want to go to Diagon Alley to buy it, so they can only go to the Forbidden Forest to pick it.

"Okay, when Cedric comes to school, the four of us will go to the Forbidden Forest together." William said.

While they were chatting, the door to the common room suddenly opened, and Harry and Ron slipped through the hallway.

"William, you're actually here, we've looked around the library." Harry said in surprise.

"What, what's the matter?"

"We just met Hermione, she's wearing a badge, can you sell us a copy." Ron said enviously.

"Of course you can, but sweet brother, do you have so much money?" Fred smirked, revealing a philistine face.

George also smiled: "A badge, the cheapest is five Galleons, you are the first guest, and you only charge four Galleons per person." ”

This price is not expensive, a fake wand on the market costs five Galleons, not to mention William, this is a good alchemy product.

Ron muttered, it seems that he really has no money, he originally thought that he only needed a few sico.

"I'll pay Ron, but don't want his birthday present this year." Harry briskly pulled Gareon out of his pocket.

Ron's birthday is March 1st, and it doesn't take long to make sense as a birthday present.

However, young wizards usually give cheap gifts to each other, such as Christmas, where Ron gave Hermione a quill pen.

It's the equivalent of giving away a mechanical pencil, the kind that hasn't bought lead yet.

Compared to the gift of a few nats such as a quill, the price of the warm-up badge is indeed very expensive.

Ron obviously knew it too, his face was slightly red, and he nodded, "That's it, Harry, on your birthday, I'll pay it back!" ”

The twin brothers looked at each other, with a black question mark on their faces, not knowing what to say.

William placed the bag on the table, and Fred pulled out a handful of badges from it.

Harry and Ron were picky and chosen, and in the end they both chose a badge with Gryffindor's lion head.

The two of them were satisfied, and a wave of warmth hit.

Ron said happily, "This way I don't have to wear the sweater my mother gave, it's too thick to move." ”

Every boy has a prodigal heart.

In William's previous life, when it was winter, he often only wore a thin coat, and the whole person was as cold as a dog.

Now it seems like a fool.

William took out all the candy in the bag and motioned for everyone to eat together.

Fred smiled and said, "William, it's your Christmas present again?" Then we're welcome. ”

There were too many chocolates, and William gave a bunch of gifts to Fred last year.

"So, William, did you ask?" Harry sat down in his chair, leaning forward, and said hurriedly.

"That thing...... Is it a philosopher's stone? ”

He asked Hermione before, but the girl didn't say anything, and went back to her room.

"Yes, Nicol said Professor Dumbledore borrowed it." William nodded.

He didn't say that the Philosopher's Stone had no magic anymore, and Nicol had told him that he couldn't tell anyone.

This was Dumbledore's plan.

"I'll just say it's the Philosopher's Stone!" Harry pondered for a moment, "What to do, we should protect that Philosopher's Stone!"

Quirrell put trolls on Halloween, and he must have tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone! ”

William gave Harry a strange look.

"Harry, don't forget that Professor Dumbledore is at school, and no one can steal the Philosopher's Stone from under his nose."

"Or do you think the Philosopher's Stone is in your hands...... Safer? ”

"Uh, no...... No, that's not what I meant. Harry shook his head.

William had a point, as long as Dumbledore was at school, he didn't have to worry about it at all.

Thinking of this, Harry relaxed.

William smiled and motioned for him and Ron to settle the candy as well.

Ron unceremoniously picked the biggest chocolate cake out there, and it seemed as if he was going to eat back what he had just lost.

Harry also took apart a piece of chocolate frog and took a bite of it.
