"Unicorn horns and dragon blood?"

Chris looked at Kyle and asked suspiciously, "What do you want these things for?" ”

"It's not me, it's Fred and George who need it." Kyle repeated what they had said in the office again.

"I think it's a good idea to protect yourself with magical items, and maybe buy some time to escape when it counts."

"If those things are useful, that's true." Chris said, "There are about ten unicorn horns left in the ministry, which were going to be donated to St. Mungo, but as long as I can get the minister's signature, I can give them all." ”

"So much?" Kyle was surprised.

Unicorn horns weren't something forbidden to trade, and he thought it would be nice to have five or six in the ministry.

"It's worth more than the same volume of gold, and it's always been popular with smugglers." Chris said casually, "We get some every time. ”

"What about the blood of the dragon?" Kyle continued.

"Not an ounce." Chris spread his hands, "If you had been here for three days, you would have had a pint, but it was all donated to St. Mungo, who is in dire need of dragon blood to make potions." ”

"But......" Chris continued, "if you need it, I can help you get in touch with the Romanian side." ”

"The Fire Dragon Sanctuary in Romania?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, "They still sell fire dragon blood?" ”

"No, they only offer the business of renting fire dragons." Chris said.

"But I have a good relationship with that side, and if there is a valid reason, I don't think they mind selling me some dragon blood at a low price, and the price will be about half lower than the one on the market."

"Then I want ten pints." Kyle blurts out.

Fire dragon blood is a treasure, whether it is boiling potions or alchemy, it can be used, it must be right to get more, it's a big deal to save it.

However, Kyle waited a long time for no reply from Chris, and when he looked up, he realized that he was looking at him with a very strange look.

"Ten pints?" Chris's voice changed slightly, "Do you think it's pumpkin juice?" Don't talk about me, even if Mr. Scamander comes forward, he can't buy ten pints of fire dragon blood.

"It's only a pint, and if it's not enough, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

"That's it, your face is worthless." Kyle muttered, "Forget it, I'd better go find Newt." ”

With that, Kyle turned around and left, so angry that Chris gasped for air in the back.

Is there less dragon blood in a pint? He wouldn't really think it was pumpkin juice!

After leaving the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, Kyle returns to the minister's office and tells Fudge about it.

Fudge only thought about it for a moment before agreeing to the proposal, but he was sure again.

"Are you sure they're going to sell those power-ups at cost?"

"Yes, Minister." Kyle said, "Fred and George said they wanted to do something for the wizarding world, and they agreed.

"They're Mr. Arthur Weasley's sons, and they're certainly not going to joke about it."

"Oh, Arthur, no wonder I think the names of these two men are a little familiar." Fudge whispered.

Mr. Weasley's good name played a role in this moment, and Fudge directly agreed.

Although this had never been done before, the Ministry of Magic could still afford to make up one Galleon at a time.

And Fudge is not stupid, this is a real benefit, and it also has a huge benefit to improve the prestige of the Ministry of Magic, so he naturally has no reason to refuse.

Ten minutes later, Kyle leaves the minister's office with two pieces of parchment.

One of them was a subsidy announcement from the Ministry of Magic, which would later be published in the Daily Prophet.

The other is to agree to Kyle's application to use the unicorn materials in the ministry.

By the time Kyle returned to the Magical Beasts Control Division with it, Chris had already prepared the unicorn's horns in advance.

However, he didn't seem to be happy, and he didn't have a smile the whole time, and he shoved things up and told Kyle to get out of here.

However, Kyle didn't care, just took the elevator again and found Fred and George, who had been waiting for a long time.

"How'......"

Before he could get out of the elevator, the two of them couldn't wait to ask.

"Of course it's fine." Kyle handed them a bag in his hand.

In addition to the ten unicorn horns, there is also a pint of fire dragon blood.

The distance from here to Romania is not close, and it is estimated that it will take a while for the new dragon blood to arrive, so Kyle used his previous inventory to top it first.

"Great!" Fred excitedly said, "Is it all free?" ”

"Fire dragon blood is fifty fold." Kyle said.

"That's enough." George carefully calculated, "These are enough for us to use for a long time, and I calculated that the price can probably be reduced to about two Galleons." ”

"Hmm...... Price it for seven Galleons. Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Raise the Ministry of Magic's subsidy to five Galleons." ”

"Huh?" Fred was a little puzzled, "Isn't this the same?" ”

"It's different." Kyle shook his head, "After all, the materials were provided by the Ministry of Magic, so they must be counted in it." ”

George glanced at Kyle and pouted, "Fudge must be jumping for joy." ”

Fred nodded in agreement, "It's not unreasonable to be able to be a senior assistant minister." ”

"No way......," Kyle said calmly, "At this time, the prestige of the Ministry of Magic needs to be properly raised." ”

"Forget it, it's the same anyway." Fred and George didn't care that much, and immediately prepared to go back to their office.

"Oh yes, there's one more thing." Kyle hurriedly stopped them, "You don't have to take care of the work of the department recently, just focus on making those magic items." ”

"Good!" The two waved their hands and left without looking back.

After all this work, Kyle finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his office.

……

The next day.

A purple pamphlet, with the help of the Owl Post Office, was delivered to every wizard.

"What is this?"

At 12 Grimmauld Place, Harry, who was having breakfast, looked at the booklet in his hand and asked suspiciously.

"That's good stuff." Fred said mysteriously, "I didn't expect Kyle to finish it so quickly, I thought it would be a few days." ”

"Kyle did this?" Mrs. Weasley walked in, also holding a booklet in her hand.

"Yes, Mom." George said excitedly: "Take a look, there are surprises in it." ”

Mrs. Weasley looked suspiciously at the booklet in her hand.

【Published with permission from the Ministry of Magic】

【Protect you and your family from dark magic】

Now that there is a self-proclaimed Death Eater group in the wizarding world, here are some safety guidelines that will help you better protect yourself and your family.

1. Don't leave the house alone, go out and rush back before dark as much as possible.

2. Make sure that you are safe around your home, and if possible, it is best to set up an anti-illusion disfigurement charm.

3. Master as many of the following spells as you can: Iron Armor (see page 3 for spells and wand gestures), Illusion (see page 6), Patronus (see page 12)

4. Minor children in the family need to master the appearance of the entourage.

5. Muggle wizards can apply to the Ministry of Magic to open a temporary Floo network.

……

……

The booklet is not very thick, about twenty pages, the first page is full of points to pay attention to, and the rest is basically a detailed teaching of various spells.

"It's so comprehensive." Mrs. Weasley flipped through the booklet, "The Ministry of Magic has done a good job this time, it seems that all possible factors are there, and both wizarding and Muggle families have taken it into account. ”

"Hey, Fudge can't think of such an idea, he'll just say a few things to make everyone watch out for the Death Eaters." Moody next to him snorted coldly, "I guess this must have been brought up by Kyle as well." ”

"Didn't we say that before?" George took a bite of the sandwich, "That's Kyle's idea." ”

"Professor Dumbledore was right to let him work for the Ministry of Magic." Tonks flipped through the booklet in his hand, "He can lighten us a lot of work." ”

"Don't talk about it yet." Fred urged, "Hurry up and see, there's a surprise ahead." ”

"What's the surprise here?" Ron didn't take it seriously, but he flipped through the pages anyway.

Until the penultimate page.

Also: Dementors are a serious threat to every wizard's safety, and since the Patronus Charm is a profound spell, using magic items is also a good defense.

If you need to, you can go to 37 Diagon Alley after July 11, where the owner of the Weasley Joke Shop has made an agreement with the Ministry of Magic to sell the Dementor Necklace at cost price, and in addition to that, the Magic Scroll will receive an additional five Galleons.

"37 Diagon Lane?" Ron pondered for a moment, then suddenly jumped up and looked at Fred and George, "Wait, isn't that your ......?"

"That's right, it's the Weasley Joke Shop." Fred said with a smile.

George also took out a box, "Limited quantity, first come, first served...... However, as our family, you have the right of first refusal. ”

"How much."

"Seven Galleons." Fred said, "But if you have a magic scroll, it's two Galleons." ”

"How much?" Kingsley, who hadn't spoken, looked up sharply and asked.

As an Auror, no one knows the price of a magic item better than he does.

An ordinary anti-evil curse hat costs more than ten Galleons, let alone an Anti-Dementor one, and if this is true, even seven Galleons is quite cheap.

"What kind of magic roll is that...... Where is it? Ron asked, confused,

"If you will move your noble fingers......" said George, glancing impatiently at him, "you will find it on the last page." ”

Ron's face turned a little red, and Harry on the side quietly flipped another page.

Sure enough, on the last page of the booklet, there was a shiny note with a golden signature on it.

Cornelius Oswald Fudge...... This is the minister's signature. Kingsley whispered.

"Copy in pairs." Moody took out his wand and tapped it on it.

As a result, the next second, the note immediately ignited a flame, and soon turned into a pile of ashes.

"Yes, there are at least five anti-counterfeiting spells on this." He nodded, not in the slightest bit annoyed by the loss of five Galleons.

"Of course." Fred smiled and said, "Each one of these is money, so naturally you should be cautious." ”

"I'll buy one." Kingsley tore off the note and handed it to Fred along with two Galleons.

"Thank you for your patronage!" George took him a necklace from the box.

Kingsley got the necklace, inspected it, and crushed it.

A large hazy silvery white mist poured out of it and permeated the small kitchen.

Everyone in the middle of it feels warm.

"Yes, it's a Patronus Charm." Kingsley was amazed.

Although he knew that it would definitely not be fake, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he still felt a little incredible.

Two Galleons will be able to buy a magic item with the Patronus Charm sealed, and this is probably the only time.

"What a waste, Kingsley, Alastor and I have verified it a long time ago." Tonks said, but suddenly something occurred to her.

"Hey, the necklace I bought in Alastor wasn't at this price, are you deliberately cheating us?"

"Don't spew blood!" Fred said with a serious face, "At that time, the Ministry of Magic didn't cooperate with us, and it was a normal price. ”

"I don't care!" Tonks said unreasonably, "You're going to give me the money back." ”

"Don't even think about it!" Fred and George said with serious faces.

As far as the facts are concerned, the necklace given to Tonks is made of the materials they bought themselves, and the price will certainly not be as cheap as it is now.

"Then give me another one!" Tonks tore off the note and handed it over.

"Thanks, two Galleons."

Tonks' expression froze, and he threw two gold coins angrily.

"Ah, I'll have one too." Harry quickly tore the note off.

Ron next to him looked at him enviously, although two Galleons was already cheap, he still couldn't afford it.

"I want three."

At this time, Bill walked in and placed a stack of gold coins on the table, he looked at Ron and Ginny, and said with a smile, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and tear off your magic scrolls." ”

Ron was immediately excited, and he almost tore the booklet in half.

In a short time, the necklace in the box was swept away.

"Are you all right?" Bill looked at the necklace in his hand, then at Fred and George.

"I think there must be a lot of wizards who need this kind of necklace, and the day after tomorrow is July 11th, do you have enough stock?"

"To be honest, it's a bit insufficient." Fred frowned, "Kyle only made this suggestion yesterday afternoon, and we didn't have time to do much at all. ”

"But that's okay, we've got some help." George said, "Kyle definitely didn't have time, and Connor was going to have to go through the Extraordinary Apothecary Guild, so we invited Cho and Hermione. ”

"They've agreed to go to the second floor of the Weasley Joke Store at nine o'clock today.

"We've got two days, so we should be able to handle it for a while."

"Nine o'clock today?" Mrs. Weasley frowned, "But your job ......"

"No problem, Mom." "That's what we have to do, Secretary Fudge agreed," Fred said. ”

Hearing Fudge's name, Mrs. Weasley didn't say anything more.

"If you don't mind, then I'll help too, my magic score is not bad." Bill thought for a moment and said, "Charlie's surveillance mission should be almost over, and he should be called in when the time comes." ”

"Of course I don't mind!" Fred said happily.

The Dementor Necklace isn't particularly complicated, it's just that the materials are valuable, and it would be nice to have someone willing to help.

As for secrecy...... There is no need for this at all.

"I'll go too." Ginny raised her hand, "Although I may not be able to help much, it is still no problem to draw the magic script, my score in the ancient runi script this year is "O", and I can also take this opportunity to learn the practical application of the magic script." ”

"Welcome, come together then."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, if there was anyone who was the most idle in the house right now, it would be them......

They've always wanted to do a little bit of a favor, and now is a good opportunity, and what makes Harry even more concerned is that Fred just said that Autumn will come too.

Although he has gradually extinguished the idea of competing with Cedric, what if a miracle happens......

Harry's heart was stirring again.

"We can help too." He said immediately.

But this time, Fred and George did not immediately agree, but looked at them suspiciously.

"I'm sorry, but did you two also take the Ancient Runi course?"

"If I'm not mistaken, I don't think so."

"Ancient Runiwen?" Harry blinked, and said hesitantly, "No, no. ”

Ron also scratched his hair, showing a puzzled expression, "It's just help, why do you want to learn ancient runes?" ”

At this moment, the originally lively restaurant instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at them with a strange look.

Mrs. Weasley lowered her head without saying a word, and finally made an excuse to leave the dining room directly.

"Ah, it's fine." Fred squeezed out a smile and patted the two of them, "No need to help, you guys can play at home and enjoy the holiday." ”

No matter how stupid the two were, they understood what this meant, and they immediately blushed.

"We can help with cleaning." Ron said.

"That's right." Harry nodded, "Or hand over something or something." ”

They have already decided that they can do whatever they do, as long as they can go to Diagon Alley with them, otherwise, there will really be only two idlers left in the family.

Even the younger Ginny is useful, but they can't do anything, which is a bit too humiliating.

"Hmm...... I understand your good intentions. After pondering his words, George asked, "But our clerk is three house-elves, do you think we need someone else to clean up?" ”

"Isn't that a little too much to look down on them?"

The faces of the two of them turned even redder.

They never thought that they couldn't compare to Ginny, and now they couldn't even compare to house-elves.

Ginny sighed silently and twisted her face to the side.
