Chapter 252: Living Point Map
"Yes, a lot of shiny gold~" Roger smiled happily as he took out a gold galleon from his clothes and flipped it back and forth between his fingers. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"What the hell do you mean?" the twins asked inexplicably, "laughing at us?"
"Of course not..."Roger stretched out his finger and flicked the gold coin at the two of them, "Obviously, you have something on you that I am very interested in, and my pocket money happens to be quite a lot..."
"So you want us to work for you?" George grabbed the coin, spread his palm, and handed it back.
"No," Roger pouted in disgust, "Of course not... How could you think that? I just wanted to buy something from you. β
"Shopping? I thought it was a mystery. Fred let out a grin and pulled a handwritten shopping list out of his pocket: "While most of them are common on the market, the top ones are also our exclusive inventions. β
Roger took the list and looked at it twice, and the classic tricky props only appeared as fake wands, and the quick-acting truant candy series products were nowhere to be seen.
Putting the list aside, the boy crossed his hands and said slowly, "What I want is not this gadget, but a small piece of magical worn-out parchment... I think you should understand what I mean. β
Fred and George looked at each other again in surprise, unlike if they wanted to start a joke shop, they hadn't talked to many people about the parchment.
Fred grimaced and said solemnly, "I don't know where you heard it, but that thing is the secret of our success..."
"Anyway, you've memorized its contents, haven't you? Basically, you don't need it anymoreβ" Roger smiled peacefully, and held out a finger to add weight to the negotiation: "Sell it to me, a thousand gold Galleons." β
"Ahem, ahem..." Fred's serious face couldn't hold on for a moment, and he was even so shocked that he choked on his own saliva.
"How much do you say!?" George's eyes widened in amazement.
"One, thousand, gold..."Roger said word by word, deliberately pulling a long tone.
"No... That's too much. George said in a voice that was almost horrified, "That map is good, but it's not worth so much money..."
Roger blinked subtly, but he didn't expect the brothers to think he was bidding too high.
Fred even looked at Roger cautiously and asked tentatively, "Do you really know how much a thousand gold Galleons are?"
"I can't even buy a better watch anyway. Roger shrugged his shoulders casually, and his offer was based on the money Harry had given to the twins in the original books.
Fred and George were choked in silence for several seconds before they had to sigh: "The evil landlord and his arrogant local tyrant life..."
It's a good deal to trade something that doesn't have much effect (the Vital Map) for an accelerator for your dreams (Golden Gallons)... Roger's bid is also very impressive.
George went back to his bedroom to get the map, and Roger sat next to Fred, chatting with him about the twins' inventions, and by this time the fat tongue toffee and canary biscuits had a general idea.
"This little pretty thing taught us more than the whole school taught. George sighed as he returned from his belongings, and handed the tattered piece of parchment to Roger.
The boy took the map and didn't even look at it, and casually stuffed it into his pocket: "Come to my dormitory later, and I'll give you the money when I pour." β
A thousand gold coins is also quite large.
"It's useless to have that piece of paper, you need a formula. Fred said.
"'I solemnly swear that I didn't do anything good', I know..."Roger touched his forehead with his finger and said with a smile: "I wish you a prosperous business and a prosperous financial resource~ If you need to tell me again..."
Having achieved his goal, the boy didn't stay with the twins for long, got up from the chair in the corner, and went back to the dormitory to study the map that was supposed to belong to Harry.
The compass and the map still have their own strengths, anything will be pointed out by the compass without being deliberately covered, but don't think about the exact point and the accurate route, that is not 3D stereo GPS.
In the school context, there is no substitute for the role of the live map.
Roger took out his wand, touched the parchment lightly, and said, "I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good." β
Thin lines of ink like spider webs immediately began to appear from where the wand had just touched it.
The lines converged and crossed each other, extending to every corner of the parchment, and then the writing began to appear above the parchment in large, curved green letters: 'Gentlemen of the Magic Pranksters, Moonface, Wormtail, Bigfoot, and Pointed Fork, proudly present - Map of Living Points'
This map depicts all the details of Hogwarts Castle and its venues. However, the really noteworthy thing is the tiny ink dots that move along the map, each with a name in tiny letters.
The parchment is still large enough to be completely spread out, and it would be time-consuming to find a specific name across the school.
Roger took out the compass and closed his eyes for a moment before opening the lid and pointing to the upper right corner of the map, and the boy glanced in the direction, and soon saw Professor Lupin safely in his office.
The night of the full moon has passed, and today he can control himself from transforming.
Closing the compass, the boy pondered for a while, opened it again, and easily found Dumbledore, who seemed to be pacing back and forth in the study.
Nodding with satisfaction, Roger closed the compass, folded the map, and received it in the box.
Not long after, the twins sneaked into Roger's dormitory, and soon walked out of his dormitory with a cloth bag.
"What's wrong with Fred and George, happy like that?" asked Harry as he returned to his dorm room and asked Roger, as he saw the twins excited.
"Pick up the money~" Roger sat on the bed and changed into pajamas: "Don't talk about this... Tomorrow after dinner, the meeting on the seventh floor has been announced, right?"
"It's Ginny and Neville who need to say hello, and how long do you expect me to take..."Harry rolled his eyes and walked to his own bed, "It's the room you said... It's like everything... Why do I think it's so unreliable?"
"Because there is a request~"
