Chapter 66: The Cabin
George and Fred also have their own thoughts and judgments about their secret base, and it is definitely not enough to just repair it.
At the very least, there are some magic items and magic traps here.
This hut is not the kind of place that is not easy to find, what if someone makes a fuss and they don't have anyone here, and the things they put here are gone.
And that's a lot of money again.
And it's the kind of money that has to be spent.
George and Fred had earned their pocket money by themselves, and according to their calculations, if they wanted to turn this place into their secret base, they would have to earn at least five years of money.
So there is such a rich man as Morgan who has taken a fancy to this, and they are only happy.
"You can just take up all three rooms downstairs."
"Yes, the hall is a common area, Fred and I can occupy a room upstairs."
"Yes, Harry, do you want to occupy a room here so you can come and go around when you have time."
Harry and Ron glanced at each other, and they both thought it would be interesting to occupy a room here.
But before they could nod, Neville said weakly, "Can I ask for a room?" ”
Morgan looked at Neville curiously, how could he have a sense of presence now: "Yes, you can pick a room, what do you want this room to do?" ”
"I want to grow some herbs." Neville said cautiously.
"Yes." Morgan agreed without even thinking about it, he remembered that the book said that Neville had a certain talent for herbalism, and that growing some herbs should not be a problem.
Seeing that Neville had chosen to ask for a room here, Harry and Ron naturally agreed, and they even went upstairs to pick a room there.
Morgan followed.
The situation on the second floor was as Morgan had guessed at the beginning, with four rooms, one large, three and small.
Naturally, the large room was occupied by George and Fred, and the two of them occupied a large room, and Harry didn't say anything.
Neville had chosen a room with a balcony, the roof was all over, and some vines were hanging down, but that was just right for Neville, who was going to grow herbs here, and most of them needed sunlight.
Harry had chosen the smallest room, for him, he just wanted to have a private space, and he didn't really care how big the room was.
On the contrary, Ron is quite happy, he has not had a big room since he was a child, and his room is quite remarkable when he puts a bed in it.
Unexpectedly, when he came to Hogwarts, he actually got into a big room, and it was a big room that he could handle freely, and he wanted to live here directly after he was happy.
Morgan couldn't help but shake his head at Ron's choice, and he said to Ron: "No, at least some repairs need to be done here, and some magic traps or something, I plan to write to someone to ask if there is anything that can be sold and sent over, and you will also come over to help with repairs when the time comes." ”
Morgan's meaning is quite obvious, I have paid for the maintenance here, so you must come over to help.
Harry agreed, "I'll help, by the way, should we clean up this first?" ”
Morgan glanced at a finger thick of dust, then at the mess in the room, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Forget it for now, let's measure the size of all the rooms first, see which parts of the room need to be repaired, and George, do you know what materials we need?"
I'm guessing Hogwarts must have a way to bring in a batch of materials, but the construction team can't come in, everything needs to be handled by ourselves, so we need to buy the materials that have already been processed. ”
"We really know that." Fred spoke quickly.
Speaking of which, their house is built with that kind of cheap material, so they know a little bit about it, and since they found it last year, they have been thinking about fixing it up, so they also think about it a lot.
Morgan listened while recording the materials needed, and Hermione was there to help Morgan record and analyze, and several people became more and more busy here.
Soon they had almost measured the room.
In this upstairs, these rooms only need to get some building materials to repair the broken places.
In the real world, this kind of thing can be difficult for children, but in the wizarding world it is actually a very simple thing, they just need to buy the prepared magic items, put them in the room and handle it automatically.
Even if Neville wanted a glass roof, it wouldn't be a problem.
Instead, it's the downstairs gate here, which is the key to the whole cottage.
In all of magic, the door is the most crucial step.
Especially in the Harry Potter system, opening and closing doors is the best way to invite and prevent others from entering.
The reason why the Porter family was able to hide themselves in the first place was also related to the closed door of the house.
The broken door in front of him must not be used, and Morgan can't just make some wood to make a wooden door himself, this wooden door must have a magical effect, and he can clearly distinguish who enters and who prevents him from entering.
"This kind of thing, you have to go to a special store to buy it, and we can't install it ourselves."
"Give more money, let them give the manual, if it doesn't work, let people come in the middle of the night, you can't phantom here, let them come in on a broomstick, it's okay, I have some money in my hand, I can handle this little thing."
Morgan, who is a local tyrant, doesn't care about this small cost at all, and at the same time he thinks about it, "In addition, I think there is actually another Floo network in the school, although it is not connected to the outside, but there must be an internal network here, we have a fireplace here, do you think you want to build a Floo Channel?" ”
George glanced at them, and his eyes lit up, "Really?" ”
After all, it will take a while to get here from the hall, and if you can have a Floo network, you can go directly from the castle to this side, so it will be much easier to go back and forth.
"Of course, it's enough to give more money, but it can't be in the common room, we need to find a classroom fireplace with no one to do it."
"It's a great idea, I know there's a classroom where the fireplace won't go out even if it's not around at night, and it's a great place to be."
George suddenly thought of a good place.
Fred's eyes lit up when he was reminded of this, "You're talking about ......"
