305. New products, anti-hidden masks

"Hey, Scott!"

It's a new week, and at noon on Monday, Fred and George stop Scott, who is about to leave the auditorium after lunch.

"Something?" Scott asked.

"Come with us."

The twins mysteriously led Scott to a hallway on the third floor of the castle, where he stood in front of a statue of a hunchbacked one-eyed witch.

"I remember this was the entrance to the secret passage to Duke Honey's confectionery in Hogsmeade." Scott said, "Do you want to slip out?" What time now? ”

Fred looked left and right, "Of course not, you'll know if you go down and have a look." ”

At the same time, George took out his wand and knocked on the statue, saying, "Left and right separate." ”

The hunched humpback of the hump-backed one-eyed witch statue slowly opens, revealing a dark passage with a long stone slide inside.

"I'll go down first."

George slumped into the passage and slid down the stone slide as fast as he could, and in an instant he was gone.

Fred patted Scott on the shoulder, "You go first, quick." ”

Scott glanced at him and reluctantly did as he was told.

He slipped into the passage and sat down the stone slide and slid down at a rapid pace, with the wind whirring in his ears.

Fred followed behind him with a glowing wand.

After about 10 minutes, they finally reached the bottom of the stone slide.

Scott stood up and looked at the area in front of him illuminated by a magical light source, where George, who had come down first, was already standing.

"What is this?"

Scott walked up to his side and looked at a dilapidated wooden door behind him.

"Oh, this is what we found out when we were shopping for goods some time ago." George pushed the door open, and "Fred inadvertently threw a cutting spell at the wall, and the door appeared." ”

Scott glanced inside the door and saw that it was a small room.

There were three wind-blown vents in the ceiling of the room, and several old desks were put together in the center, and several candles were lit on the desks, where his roommate Eddie was sitting and waving to him.

"Eddie? No wonder I didn't see you at lunchtime today. Scott walked into the room.

Fred and George also walked into the room.

"This is our joke product research studio from now on!" Fred said.

George also said: "We will develop and experiment with our products here to make sure that no one else finds out!" ”

"It's a good place." Scott sat on a broken stool, "But do you need to hide here?" ”

"It wasn't necessary before."

"But now there is."

Fred and George said.

"Percy has been keeping an eye on us more and more lately."

"Because we offended him so badly."

"Well, as long as you don't bother yourselves." Scott said with a smile.

"It's really hidden here, and even Filch doesn't know about this secret passage outside." Eddie also said.

"Of course." Fred was a little smug.

"You called me here just to see this place?" Scott looked left and right again.

He confirmed again that it was an empty room, nothing special.

"On top of that, we have a new product coming out." George said.

"Anti-Hidden Poison Mask!" Fred pulled out a plain white mask from his pocket.

"Oh, you made it?" Eddie immediately stood up happily.

"That's right!" Fred put the white mask on.

George introduced on the side, "After wearing this mask, as long as the poison is close to ......"

He pulled out a small glass from his old desk, "This is Viper venom." ”

He opened the small glass bottle and leaned over to the mask on Fred's face, where several bandages suddenly grew on both sides of the white mask, wrapping Fred's mouth and nose tightly.

"That's good." Eddie applauded, "Although it didn't catch up with the popularity of 'Hidden Witch', this mask should not worry about sales." ”

"Of course, people's fear of 'hidden wizards' has not completely disappeared." "We still have time to make a big profit." ”

He took the vial of snake venom a little further away, and the bandages on the outer layer of the mask on Fred's face retracted.

Eddie said with some excitement: "If it had been a month earlier, this invention might have swept the entire British wizarding world!" Of course, it's not too late. ”

"How? We never cared about the partners in the business? Fred took off his mask and asked Scott with a grin.

“……”

Scott looked at them, not knowing what to say.

For quite some time, the capture of Edingrove by Medea and the "Green Robes" has been a hot news story in the wizarding world.

Scott thought that all the hot news he had caused during the summer vacation had been forgotten.

During the summer vacation, Bogin, the owner of the Bokin store in Tumbledown Lane? Bock, Liam, the two young wizards of the Yaxley family? Yaxley and Jack? Yaxley was the victim of a horrific poisoning attack.

Only Liam of the three? Yaxley survived.

These two incidents were also widely circulated in the wizarding world at the time, and all kinds of terrible conjectures and theories were rampant.

As a result, people are very afraid of the unknown means of the murderer who quietly poisons people.

Scott returned to Spain shortly after the move, and heard some rumors about it after that, just Ranpo talking to him on the phone.

In short, because of the two poisoning cases that occurred during the summer vacation, there is now a rumor of a "hidden wizard" in the British wizarding community.

Rumor has it that this "hidden poison wizard" can quietly kill anyone he wants with poison, and no one knows how he did it.

This story-like rumor was first published in a magazine called "Singing the Opposite", and later spread for some reason.

Of course, Scott thinks all this with him Scott? Trolope doesn't have anything to do with it.

"Well...... "nice invention, and while I don't think it's needed at Hogwarts, the students might buy it and send it home." ”

This mask really protects against his poisonous midges - if one wears it all the time.

Eddie said happily: "Hurry up and speed up the production, I have a hunch that there will be a lot of demand for this kind of mask, of course, if needed, I can also help." ”

"Oh, you can't help us with anything, Eddie." Fred said.

George patted Eddie on the shoulder, "You are still responsible for providing the raw materials and getting more masks and bandages." ”

The midday break was short, and they quickly left the place and flew to the top of the stone slide through a few worn-out broomsticks hidden near the stone slide.

Back in the third-floor hallway, they threw their broomsticks into the passage and let them slide down the stone slide.

Along the way, the Weasley twins and Eddie all discussed with great interest plans to make money with "anti-toxic masks", only Scott was in a somewhat complicated mood.
