Chapter Eighty-Six: Professor Dumbledore is a man, not a god
At this moment, Hallie suddenly raised her head.
When she learned the name of Mundungus, she always felt familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
Now, she finally remembered: "Mr. Fletch, I just called you Mondongues." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, I saw you in a photo of Professor Dumbledore together."
"There's your name written underneath the picture, and you're standing next to Professor Lupin, right?"
"Oh, that's right." Mundungus said in a gruff voice, "I know which group photo you're talking about, it's probably the one I gave Hagrid." ”
"I used to be one of the people who worked for Dumbledore, and I did it for free, to fight the mysterious man."
Hermione was visibly taken aback when she heard Mundungus's words. She wanted to ask something, but was pulled by Hallie.
Harley shook her head and quietly motioned for Hermione to wait until business was done.
Seeing that Hermione stopped talking, Fred and George also started a trade with Montongues.
The two exchanged twenty-seven Galleons for a bag of contraband from Montungus.
Harley also glanced at it as a shareholder, and discovered high-grade potion materials such as Poison Tentacle Seeds, Soundbird Feathers, and African Tree Snake Skin.
"We've wanted to buy these things for a long time," Fred sighed, carefully tying the bag tightly and tucking it under his robes.
"It's just that there hasn't been enough money."
"Alas, poverty limits our vision, imagination, and action," George wiped away non-existent tears,
"It's only now that we have the capital to start dreaming."
Hallie ignored the two living treasures who pretended to hug their heads and cry. These exaggerated performances, Hallie has seen many times in the team.
She looked straight at Mundungus, "Mundungus, can you trade with anyone?" ”
Mundungus, who was biting a gold Galleon with his back molars, looked up at Harley up and down, and then nodded:
"Of course, I don't mind trading with anyone as long as there's money to be made."
"Why, Miss Potions Champion also wants to buy some special materials from me that the Ministry of Magic does not allow for sale, and do some bold experiments?"
"You are really similar to your mother, your mother also bought those contraband from me back then, and the quality of the things I got is absolutely guaranteed."
"Well, I've seen a photo of you and my parents in the photo, so your credibility should be guaranteed."
Hallie nodded, with an approving expression,
"Then do you mind if I leave you a contact information so that you can communicate again in the future?"
"Of course," Mundungus swept the gold galleons back into his pockets, then rubbed his hands together and looked at Harry,
"Using an owl? Do you want me to write you an address? But I don't usually live there, so I'm afraid I won't be able to reply in time. ”
"Of course not, it's better to keep this kind of thing a secret."
"It's a good habit to be cautious, and I also think it's dangerous to use owl contact." Mundungus nodded,
"You have a talent for navigating the gray area. So, how are you going to get in touch? ”
Harley clapped her hands lightly, and the long hair behind her suddenly grew longer, and at the same time, it floated like a nimble snake to Harley's ears.
The hair that had just grown at the end suddenly broke off neatly, and flew into Harley's hand of its own.
Immediately after, Harley's mouth opened slightly, and a black flame enveloped her hair.
By the time the flames had dissipated, the hair had turned into a black paste that exuded a strange aura.
"When you need to contact me, just apply a little hair to any mirror and then you can leave a message on it with a quill pen."
Hallie explained the contact,
"Within ten minutes, I can receive the message you wrote."
"As for the way I contact you, you can find a mirror as soon as you go back, apply a little hair first, and I can keep sending messages to that mirror."
At this point, everyone else at the table was shocked by Hallie's actions.
Mundungus silently took the paste, carefully wrapped it in a piece of parchment, and stuffed it into a separate pocket.
Then, he nodded with a complicated face: "I can't see that your magic level is so strong." Hope we have a happy future deal. ”
"Is there anything else? If it's okay, I'll go first, and I'll have a deal right away. ”
Mundungus wrapped his hood hard and quickly left the pig's head bar.
"Hallie, what magic did you just use? That's cool! As soon as Mundungus left, Fred couldn't wait to ask,
"I've already come up with several products to develop based on this!"
"I'm sorry, this is the special inheritance of the Potter family, and there must be the blood of the Potter family."
Harley casually made up a reason, anyway, there are many such families in the wizarding world, and the most famous is the Parseltongue brought by the Slytherin bloodline.
The Weasley twins believed the answer, and though a little disappointed, they stopped asking.
The four of them begin to enjoy the mead and butterbeer they have purchased, and Hallie celebrates the signing of the contract with the Weasley twins.
After drinking two large glasses of low-alcohol mead, Hermione's face was slightly red, and she looked at the Weasley twin brothers and asked puzzledly:
"How could Professor Dumbledore ...... Need someone like Mundungus to help him with his work? He's a criminal! ”
"Professor Dumbledore is a powerful wizard, but he is also human." Fred spread his hands,
"He's not a legendary god and can't do everything."
"And more than twenty years ago, there was a wizarding war, a war, not a play."
"So Professor Dumbledore naturally needs someone who walks in the black and gray areas to help him find out the news of those dark wizards, and prevent the dark wizards from completely falling into the mystery people."
George added,
"And what Mondigus did was not serious, although he violated the laws of the Ministry of Magic, but he did not seriously hurt others."
"So Professor Dumbledore can accept this behavior as well."
The twins broke out a lot of fierce news about Monton Gus in one go, after all, he did have a lot of black material.
Sometimes, Professor Dumbledore even had to ask for help to get Mondigus out of Azkaban prison so that he would not be locked up there for two months.
Looking at Hermione's thoughtful expression, the twins also stood up:
"Hallie, let's go first. Now that we have the materials, we're going to go back and test out the new ideas. ”
Hallie waved goodbye to the twins, and went to the boss to settle the bill while Hermione was still thinking, and bought a few bottles of high spirits by the way.
This black-hearted boss also wants to raise the price and pit Harley a little more money.
However, the experienced Hallie killed the price fiercely, leaving the boss alone to sit behind the bar and sulk.
