Chapter 579: The Incident
On Monday morning, Colin Creevey's roommates noticed that he had not returned the previous night and brought it up to Professor McGonagall, only to learn that their roommate Colin had been attacked the night before.
Most of the Gryffindor students couldn't keep their mouths shut, and the news of Colin Creevey's attack spread throughout the school at once.
Rumors flew up in the school, and everyone was suspicious.
Fear spread rapidly in the castle, and most of the students moved together in groups of three or five, fearing that they would be attacked if they were left alone.
Some, however, are poised to capitalize on the fear of the attacks.
Kenneth Toller took the opportunity to introduce the amulet made by Albert and showed everyone the powerful "efficacy" of the amulet in the common room:
Reflect the curse (have Harry cast a curse on himself) and banish the creatures of darkness (perform a hand in a tank containing Grindylow).
The powerful effect of the amulet has been well received by everyone.
It's just that the expensive price of the amulet discourages many students.
It is undeniable that compared with other amulets and exorcisms circulating in the black market, the high-end amulets launched by Kenneth Toller are undoubtedly more reliable.
Neville Longbottom even went so far as to spend a lot of money to buy himself an amulet, even though the Gryffindor students thought that he would not be attacked as a pure blood.
Neville is still extremely upset, and everyone has heard about Filch's story, even though it was a cat who was attacked.
Although many people can't afford to buy amulets, few will be too expensive.
Whether it is Harry or Neville's amulet, it looks very high-end, and the powerful effect of the amulet makes everyone feel inexplicably reassured.
You must know that most Hogwarts students can't even use an iron armor charm.
Many students want to book with Kenneth Tollor.
It's a pity that they didn't have Galleons.
However, in order to occupy the remaining market.
Kenneth Toller, at Albert's suggestion, introduced the mediocre Guardian Tree amulet, amethyst pendant and obsidian bracelet.
These small jewels quickly took the school by storm, and although they did not have the powerful effect of reversing the evil spell, they were cheaper and had a certain effect of banishing dark creatures.
At the very least, it's more popular than a stinking onion, or a rotting newt tail, or even other weird amulets.
Albert made a fortune as a result.
"Having said that, can the school really receive such a large batch of orders?"
Albert put down the parchment and looked at Kenneth Toller with a strange expression, the guy had just given him a share of Galleons, and by the way, he had given an order for a custom amulet, and it had a very detailed request on it.
Albert has a good idea of the purchasing power of Hogwarts students.
At the beginning, he was willing to cooperate with Kenneth Tollor, just for the task, to find free materials to practice, plus to take the opportunity to earn some extra money.
"I know what you're thinking, but I've been busy lately, and I'm afraid I don't have time to make this stuff for you. Albert narrowed his eyes, shook the parchment and said, "If you really want it, you can carve it, and when it's ready, you can use it for me to do the final step of processing, and the price will not change." ”
Albert didn't bother to care about Kenneth Tollor's little thoughts, but if he wanted to take advantage of him, don't think about it if he doesn't have some benefits.
Kenneth Toller smiled and didn't get angry, this guy became more and more sophisticated in business, and he also knew how to make money in harmony, so he simply agreed.
In fact, Kenneth Toller also wanted to monopolize the deal, but the wizard he found could only make inferior products, and the manufacturing cost was still very high, so he directly gave up the idea of monopoly.
Albert slipped the bag of Galleons into his pocket and listened to the pleasant sound of metal crashing, and was in a happy mood.
He didn't lack Galleons, but he never lacked them.
What's more, Albert has never been a loser.
Returning to the common room, he heard Fred and George getting together to discuss what to do, as if trying to cheer up Ginny.
"It's useless for you to do that. ”
Albert was speechless and had to interrupt their bad idea: something suddenly jumped out to tease Ginny, and became ridiculous in front of Ginny.
Ahem.
Ginny Weasley should be a heart sick!
She needed counseling from a psychiatrist, not a quirky spoof.
Ever since Colin Creevey was attacked, Ginny had become more and more uneasy. She discovers that she has lost her memory of that night, and a distraught Ginny suspects that she is the killer of Colin Creevey.
She was very scared, afraid that this matter would be known, afraid that she would be expelled from school, she could only hold the matter in her heart, and she never dared to tell others about it, and the Riddle diary that was originally used to talk about her heart was gone, which made her even more worried that her privacy would be known by the person who got the diary.
"We know you have a way, right?"
Fred and George looked at Albert expectantly, asking for each other's help. They really couldn't have a better way than to come up with something funny to make people laugh.
"Your sister Ginny probably has something on her mind, which is why she looks like she is preoccupied. Albert paused and continued, "In the Muggle world, this is called mental illness, and you need the help of a psychiatrist. ”
"Psychiatrist, what's that?" it was the first time Jordan had heard of such a strange profession.
"It's a doctor who treats mental illness, and I don't know the situation for the most part, but I'm probably a listener who can let the other person talk about the troubles that are holding back in my heart. Albert concluded, "Your sister needs someone to hear her talk about. ”
The three of them looked at each other, and there was nothing good to do.
Neither Fred nor George thought they could get Ginny to speak to them, so they tried to make Ginny laugh in their own way.
So one day, Albert saw Fred suddenly turn into a big bird full of feathers in front of Ginny.
The two tried many times, but unfortunately failed.
Later, Fred and George gave Ginny a candy mixed with a tiny amount of Ariot leaves, causing her to laugh hysterically for a while, but the two apparently did not help.
When Percy found out, he was so angry that he was incoherent and yelled at them.
The next day, Fred and George received a letter from Mrs. Weasley and were severely beaten up.
"Is there really no better way?"
Both Fred and George feel sorry for their sister Ginny.
Compared to the other brothers, the twins are obviously more concerned about this.
"Actually, if you are looking for a listener, Potter is more suitable. ”
"Harry?"
The twins looked at each other.
"After all, Potter is an admirer of Ginny, but Potter doesn't take care of anyone else at all now, so you don't have to count on him. Albert thought for a moment and said, "Of course, the Happiness Charm should also have an effect on Ginny, I remember learning the Happiness Charm in the third grade Charms class, and the Joy Potion can also keep people happy for a while." ”
"By the way, how did we forget the Happiness Charm. Fred and George's faces were full of excitement, "You should have told us sooner." ”
"It's only palliative, and the effect is only ...... last"
"We'll go first, we'll see you later. Fred and George sped away.
"Are they really unremarkable?"
Lee Jordan really didn't feel comfortable with the reckless Fred and George.
"Who knows!"
