Say goodbye to Hermione and the three of them go to the library together.

There are a lot of people in the library, but there are not many books, they are all people, and when they look at Victor Klum, there are not only girls, but also many boys.

Victor Krum came early, and the closer it was to noon, the more restless he became. I was very worried that the theft of the fried tail snail would not affect the plan.

Before coming, the principal Karkaroff approached him and told him that the snail had been stolen and explained the role of the snail. Karkaroff has investigated, and the person who stole the snail is definitely not a student of Durmstrang, and the question is whether the Knicks will use this as an excuse not to see him, or simply think that he did it.

Karkaroff was worried that the Knicks would not sell them potions, and that the Triwizard Tournament was still going on, so there was no reason to help them increase their strength.

When the Knicks brought Tifa and Luna into the library, Krum breathed a sigh of relief, the Knicks had a talk when they came, and if they didn't give them a chance to meet, there was really no hope at all.

Krum nervously said, "Have you eaten?"

Tifa and Luna burst out laughing. Krum's image of a tough guy collapsed in their hearts.

Nicks ignored the remark and said with a serious expression, "Hagrid lost something, you know?"

"That's not what we did." Krum got serious, too. "I just found out in the morning what kind of fried tail snail can counter-magic."

The Knicks, of course, knew they weren't doing it, it was just a ploy to put Krum at a negotiating disadvantage and make it easier for him to open his mouth.

"How can I trust you? You are the most suspicious."

"I don't even know what that thing looks like!"

Nicks sneered.

Krum was silent for a moment. Gradually, it felt wrong, and the pace of the conversation was controlled by the Knicks all the time. He tried to break the Knicks' rhythm. "I want potions, why are you willing to trade with me?"

Knicks sighed, sure enough, this guy is not just a reckless man, it can be seen from his decisive capture of the Golden Snitch at the Quidditch World Cup that he is not a brainless person.

Before the Knicks could figure out what to say, Tifa spoke first, "Sign our broomsticks."

Tifa interrupted Krum's rhythm again.

Krum's expression became awkward, he was waiting for Knicks' answer, but he didn't expect Tifa to interject.

Stiffly signed Tifa and Luna's broom.

Tifa and Luna get the autographs they want, but instead of leaving, they stay with the Knicks and whisper about the new broom style.

Nicks said, "It's not impossible to sell you potions."

Krum wanted to ask if the potion really allowed him to control the flames, and by the way, to keep the price down. But the Knicks' attitude didn't seem to want to trade, so he said, "What do I need to pay to get it?"

"It depends on what you have?"

Krum was thrilled in his heart, and Knicks asked this question to show that he would sell potions, and now the problem was to bargain without the Knicks being disgusted.

He asked quietly, "I don't have much gold Galleons."

This is a truth, his gold Galleon is really not much, but Karkaroff said that without him to pay for it, the school will cover the cost.

The Knicks' purpose is not to Kim Galleon either, and he has no interest in money right now.

"I've heard that in Durmstrang, it's permissible to study the Dark Arts?"

Krum was stunned for a moment, then said, "This may not be what you think, we are working on how to make the dark arts less dangerous."

Nix understands that Durmstrang is not studying powerful dark arts, but how to use them safely. Just like the Fire Spell is also black magic, but it is allowed to be used, and they want to make the forbidden black magic harmless and become magic that can be used.

"Give me all the research materials, and I'll give you the potion."

Krum immediately said, "This is impossible, at most I will give you my research topic, it is impossible to give you all of it, your potions are not worth that much."

Nicks smiled and nodded, "Deal."

Of course, he knew that it was impossible to get all the research materials, so he offered a high price and waited for the other party to make a counteroffer. Originally, I just wanted to change to a more powerful dark magic, and when Voldemort was resurrected, even if he couldn't kill Voldemort, he could still let him drink a pot, and at the worst of all, Peter Pettigrew was the guarantee.

I didn't expect Krum to trade his research and be selected by the Goblet of Fire to become a warrior, Krum's strength is undoubted, and the dark magic he studied will not be bad. Not only did you get black magic, but you also had harmless research materials, and you earned it.

Krum looked at the Knicks in disbelief, understanding that he had been fooled, and the Knicks' floor price should be very low. Thinking back to the conversation we just had, I understand why this is happening. The Knicks decided to sell the potion, and they thought that the Knicks might not want to sell it. It cost him a loss.

Thinking of this, Krum also began to doubt in his heart, the effect of getting the potion so easily may not be as powerful as he thought, otherwise Knicks should not sell it.

It is also possible that there is something wrong with the potion, poisoning when drunk, coma, or a major defect. Thinking about it, I think it's impossible, if there is a problem with the potion, Principal Karkaroff will find the Ministry of Magic and sue the Knicks to maliciously eliminate competitors, and there is a high probability that he will be expelled from school, and if it is serious, he may be sent to Azkaban.

Krum leaned to the fact that potions weren't that powerful. The dragon named Seamus Finigan was very impressive against the fire, and he might have taken a potion to light the intensity of the fire, maybe after a long time of practice. Either way, you have to get the potions first, and then talk about the rest.

"How to trade?"

Nicks didn't answer the question, he slowly pulled out the potion he had just prepared in Snape's office.

"Explain in advance, different potions have different effects, some potions need to be advanced, and drinking them only once has little effect."

Krum froze, it wasn't what they thought. It also understands why the Knicks are selling them potions. The potion has been used many times, and each time the effect is not great, it will not immediately improve his strength, and by the time he has the ability to breathe fire against the dragon, the Triwizard Tournament will be over a long time ago.

"In that case, I'll need to go back and talk to the headmaster."

"No problem, I'll stay in the library forever. Before dinner, if you don't come, I'll assume you don't want to trade. By the way, potions can't be used continuously."

Hearing that it could not be used continuously, Krum was even more sure that potions were not as useful as he thought.

"What else?"

"Probably not." Knicks wasn't sure.

"This potion isn't a fire-breathing potion, is it?" Krum asked, looking at the potion in front of him.

"No, it's not strictly a fire-breathing, it's controlling the flames."

"What does it do?"

Nix shook his head, "I won't say it unless you buy it."

Krum didn't say anything and turned to leave.

He returned to the ship and found Karkaroff and told him about the meeting with the Knicks.
