It was undoubtedly quite difficult for Harry, Hermione, and Ron to make a deal with a stranger like Mundungus Fletsch. They had never had a similar experience, and they had no trust in Mr. Thief, so the chances of a deal were not high.

After much hesitation, Hermione finally wrote to Mundungus Fletsch, mentioning that she was a customer introduced by Albert and wanted to buy a small amount of horns from Mundungus for the horns of the horns and the skin of the African tree snake.

When Mundungus Fletch received Hermione's letter, he was actually confused, he didn't know Hermione Granger at all, and even suspected that the other party had sent him an envelope.

However, from what I read in the open envelope, I found that the other party was actually a customer introduced by Anderson.

Mundungus Fletch held the letter in his hand and whispered the items the other party needed: "The horns of the two-horned beast and the skin of the African tree snake?"

It seems to be...... What are the ingredients for boiling compound medicines?

In general, these two raw materials are only used in the preparation of compound medicines.

Of course, the thief Mr. Mundungus was able to guess at the first time what kind of potion Miss Granger needed from these two ingredients to make the potion that he had written, more because he had been in trouble with the horns of the bicorns and the skin of the African tree snake before, so he was very impressed.

In the black market, it is not particularly difficult to get a small amount of bicorn horn and African tree snake skin.

After all, in the black market, there will always be a few shady guys who will like to use compound potions to disguise themselves.

The thief, Mr. Montdongues, decided to accept the deal, which was a good deal, and by the way, it gave Anderson a face, and he had a good impression of the young Anderson. Every once in a while, the other party will ask him to help collect some things, although they are all some strange things, but they can always make a small profit, this kind of trickle of business, Mondongues is naturally happy to maintain.

Mundungus first rummaged through his small suitcase to see if there were any stored horns of the bicornus and the skin of the African tree snake.

However, the remaining ingredients in the suitcase were of little value.

Montungus scolded and closed the suitcase, and wrote back to Hermione Granger by the way, offering a high price of 10 Galleons.

If the other party is willing to pay, he is sure to help the other party get the raw materials.

As for slaughtering fat sheep?

I'm sorry, the fat sheep sent up, how can there be no reason not to slaughter.

The other party is not Anderson, the guy who can always open his psychological lows.

It's just that after releasing the owl, Mendungus suddenly regretted it again, he was a little worried that Granger would give up the deal with him because the price he offered was too high, and wanted to catch up with the released owl and get the letter back and change it, but the owl was unwilling to give him the letter, and pecked Mondigus's arm, making him scream in pain.

"I hope this business isn't yellow!" Mundungus muttered, examining the wound on his arm.

Soon after, Hermione received a reply from Mondongues, but the other party opened his mouth in the letter, directly proposing a high price of ten Galleons, making Hermione feel that her breathing was about to stop, and she definitely didn't have that many Galleons in her pocket, even if she had this money, Hermione would not spend a lot of Galleons to buy the horns of the two-horned beast and the skin of the African tree snake.

"That guy must be crazy. Hermione gripped the letter tightly with both hands and muttered, "Harry must be convinced to give up." ”

"Convince me of what?"

At this moment, Harry and Ron walked over to this side, sat down next to them, looked at Hermione who was clutching the letter suspiciously, and asked, "Whose letter, did Mondigus reply?"

Hermione hesitated for a moment, then handed the letter she had just received to Harry.

Ron and Harry immediately put their heads together.

"Ten Galleons, must he be crazy?"

Ron felt like he was overwhelmed by the weight of ten Galleons, the ingredients weren't worth one Galleon at all, and as Albert had said, he had made a fool of them by offering ten times the price.

Harry wasn't short of money, but ten Galleons still hurt him.

After all, even if he had any money, the inheritance stored in the Gringotts treasury would be used a little less.

However, considering that he didn't need to mess with Snape's Potions class after spending the money, he finally agreed to pay the Galleons for the horns of the two-horned beast and the skin of the African tree serpent.

"Write back to him, I'll buy it!" Harry said through gritted teeth.

He, Harry Potter is rich.

"Don't worry Harry, we'd better go to Albert for advice. Hermione hurriedly stopped Harry's decision, "I don't think you want to be slaughtered as a fat sheep by the other party!"

Ron fully agreed with Hermione's suggestion, believing that they should ask Albert so as not to be cheated by Mundungus.

Ten Gallons were too expensive, and the horns of a two-horned beast and the skin of an African tree snake were not worth the price.

If it really took ten Galleons, Ron would rather agree to Hermione's unshady plan.

After all, the money couldn't be split equally between the three of them, and Ron and Hermione didn't have that many Galleons in their pockets.

It took a long time for the three of them to finally find an opportunity, and at breakfast, they blocked Albert outside the hall and took the opportunity to ask for each other's advice.

After reading the reply letter from Montungus Fletch that Harry had handed him, Albert commented, "It's expensive, a small amount of bicorn's horn and the skin of an African tree snake are not worth the price. Although it is not surprising to say that the black market is ten times higher, it is usually slaughtered as a fat sheep. ”

"How much do you think it's worth?"

"Those ingredients are worth about a galleon. Three to five Galleons, and that fellow Mundungus Fletch will be more than willing to sell you something. Albert thought for a moment, then gave Harry an estimate.

Harry was very depressed, no one wanted to be slaughtered as a fat sheep, but if they couldn't get their hands on these two ingredients, they would need to venture into Snape's office.

"Thank you. Harry said gratefully, "Otherwise, I'd be fooled by him." ”

"You can go to Hogsmeade and trade with him. Face to face, pay the money with one hand, take the goods with the other, don't pay first, otherwise he will definitely not ship the goods to you. "You need to be very careful when dealing with those guys, lest they fool you with fakes, which is often the case in the black market." ”

"We can't go to Hogsmeade. Harry was depressed, he found that buying things on the black market was more troublesome than expected, not only to prevent himself from being slaughtered as a fat sheep, but also to be careful of the other party giving fakes, would he still encounter a situation of black eating black?

"There is a secret passage on the fifth floor of the castle that leads to the outside of the castle, and Fred and George ran through it to Hogsmeade when they were in their first year. Albert glanced at Hermione and continued, "If you're not in a hurry, you can wait until the next time you go to Hogsmeade, and then let Fred and George drop by to help you deal with Mundungus Fletsch, they have experience in this area." ”

The three of them looked at each other, never thinking that there was a secret passage leading to the outside of the school at all.

"If you're in a hurry, you'll have to give them some errands to make a trip to Hogsmeade instead of you. ”

Ron listened to Albert's words, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated, in fact, he also wanted the so-called errand fee.
