Chapter 269: An Arrow in the Knee

"That...... Albert, I suddenly had a great idea. ”

At night, in the Gryffindor common room, Fred, who was immersed in his homework, suddenly looked up and said.

"What's a good idea?" Albert asked, without looking up.

"I got an inspiration from fat lip seasoning. ”

"Fat Lip Seasoning?" Albert was a little stunned when he heard this, and asked with a slight frown, "Aren't you working on the paper of the Freezing Charm?"

"Ahem, that ...... I mean fat tongue candy. Fred picked up a flavored bean and threw it in his mouth, his eyes lit up.

"Nothing new. Lee Jordan commented.

"Shut up and listen to me. Fred couldn't help but glare at Li Jordan and continued to explain, "Since you can add a swelling agent, why can't it be an expansion agent or expansion magic?"

"Expansion magic?"

Albert looked up at Fred, the easiest way was to add an expansion agent to the candy, the effect was similar to the expansion magic, but he wasn't sure if there was such a potion or not, as for the expansion magic?

"So, you want me to help you do it?" Albert asked rhetorically, raising an eyebrow.

Both of them were suddenly a little embarrassed, apparently this is what they meant.

"You don't want to open a joke shop, in that case, go ahead and figure it out for yourself and turn your ideas into reality, otherwise you will never have your own joke shop. "After all, you have to create your own fun items in the joke shop, don't you?"

"Oh, okay. Fred was a little discouraged and casually responded.

"Tell me what you think. George was interested.

After a few minutes, Albert said angrily, "Why don't you say that after eating candy, the whole person directly inflated into a balloon?"

"I think the tongue is more interesting. Fred opened his mouth wide and made tongue sticking out and panting, "It's better if your tongue will get bigger and bigger." ”

"Are you the devil?"

"Don't make your mouth water. Lee Jordan grumbled angrily

"I think it's more fun to turn into a balloon. ”

"It's easier to cast a spell directly, but to turn it into candy, I'm afraid you have to rely on potions or other methods. "Also, have you ever considered the dangers of these jokes?" ”

"Dangerous, can it be dangerous?" George clearly disagreed, "Most adult wizards can easily disarm the swelling magic." ”

"Yes, it's just a fun joke paraphernalia, and as long as it doesn't flow into the Muggle world, there will be no other problems. Fred chimed in.

Magic is undoubtedly dangerous for ordinary people, even if it is just an ordinary prank, it may bring them disaster, such as the expansion charm, once a person is blown up, without the help of magic, this life is estimated to be over, but for wizards who can do magic, it may be just a funny joke.

At this moment, Albert suddenly understood why the Ministry of Magic would prohibit underage wizards from using magic outside the school.

Once something bad happens, you need someone from the Ministry of Magic to come and help wipe your buttocks, and if you make too much noise, it will be even more troublesome, and in a wizard's family, the child's parents will naturally solve these problems on their own.

"You guys can't have made that thing, right?" Angelina stared at the guys in front of her suspiciously, listening to the topic they had just discussed, it was really possible. Moreover, that guy is the most suspicious.

Angelina looked at Albert with suspicion, who was still flipping through the brick book in his hand.

"By the way, you know what? The price of swelling reducers on the black market has gone up again. Shanna suddenly diverted the subject.

"Black market, damn it, I didn't think of it!" Fred listened to Shanna talk about swelling agents, and was rather annoyed that he hadn't thought of this way of making money.

"Come on, the swelling agent you brewed, I dare say that no one dares to drink it. Shanna couldn't help but glance at Fred when she heard this, "If it's Albert, forget it, no one will dare to buy and drink your words, what if you drink it and get poisoned?"

"My potions are still pretty good. Fred immediately quibbled.

"How do I remember that you failed your last potions assignment and were locked up by Professor Snape. Angelina, who was playing the Wizard card with Shanna, unceremoniously exposed Fred's lies.

"Is anyone really going to be poisoned with a swelling agent?" Angelina wondered what level it would take to turn a swelling agent into a poison.

"If you make a mistake in the preparation of potions, you can indeed turn into a pot of poison, and the swelling agent is no exception, otherwise the swelling agent in the black market of Hogwarts will not be on fire. Albert wasn't surprised, "Maybe some of the unlucky ones will be poisoned after drinking the potion they have configured!"

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" said George.

"Ah, it's too late. Lee Jordan reached out to cover his face, looking completely finished.

"What's wrong with you?" said Arya, looking at the three of them in bewilderment.

"Don't you know that Albert's words are more accurate than his prophecies? "Especially the bad things, one thing at a time. ”

Albert's words turned out to be really poisonous.

The next day, a third-grader from Hufflepuff was admitted to the school hospital after suffering from mild poisoning symptoms using a swelling agent he had concocted.

Snape's nose was crooked when he heard this, and when he saw that his student had been poisoned by drinking the potion he had brewed, he threatened to confine him for a month when he recovered.

The idiot had disgraced his face.

"I'm right!" Fred said to the stunned Angelina with a helpless expression, and then, ready to continue researching the formula of the anti-swelling agent, he had not yet given up the idea of selling the anti-swelling agent to make money.

"I think you should be thinking every day that Goranffindor must win. Angelina said to Albert in a serious manner.

"I don't think you can win!"

"Shut up, bastard, don't talk nonsense!" George reached out to cover Albert's mouth, trying to get him to swallow it back.

"If we do lose, it's Albert's fault. Fred looked sad.

"Alright, stop making a fuss. Albert interrupted a few people who were still about to say something, "Give up, there is no shortage of swelling agents in the black market, and even if you can really succeed, you can't make much money, stop tossing around."

"How much does a bottle of swelling potion cost?" asked Lee Jordan curiously.

"3 Sycos a bottle. It was Arya who answered them, and she pulled out a glass bottle of antiswelling from her pocket, "This thing was very popular in the black market a while ago. ”

Ever since Madam Pomfrey told everyone the secret of swollen sausage lips, many people have carried a bottle of swelling agent with them in case they accidentally get tricked, and no one wants to make a joke.

"Why is this mark familiar!" Lee Jordan said, looking at the mark on the bottle.

“?”

Everyone looked at Albert in unison.

"Well, I boiled a big pot last time, kept one bottle for myself, gave some to others, and sold the rest. Albert didn't hide it. Actually, he didn't plan to sell swelling agents in the first place. Later, once he was also tricked, and after taking out the potion to eliminate the swelling, someone asked him where he got it, and then ...... Albert casually set a price and sold the swelling agent to them.

Of course, the glass vials used in the potions are derived from Transfiguration and Replication.

"Wow, by the way, you didn't tell us about the black market?"

Hogwarts has a black market, and some students will occasionally trade some contraband with each other through the black market, such as some things in Jokowi's shop, or some illegal potions, or gizmos.

Of course, there are also books on dark arts, and occasionally someone asks someone to help with some intelligence enhancers.

It's just that this potion is easy to check out during the exams, and there are several such unlucky eggs at Hogwarts every year.
