Chapter 117 How to spend money (first update~Please subscribe~)
Professor Sprout is not as simple as he seems.
She is chubby, smiling, innocent and harmless.
Who would have thought she had an entire Forbidden Forest in her pocket.
Professor McGonagall's tutoring involves more knowledge about human body deformation. It is different from the hair modification in class. Under Professor McGonagall's careful supervision, he tries to deform the toes and fingers.
These are the prerequisite skills of Animagus.
Compared with the growth of the other two "confinements".
Harry's progress on the Patronus Charm was almost nonexistent.
Dumbledore just repeatedly emphasized "faith", "emotion" and "love". When he talked about emotional points, his face would be filled with a look of foamy happiness.
This made Harry a little distressed. He did not lack these feelings, otherwise he would not have released the Patronus Charm.
But it was difficult for him to understand something that was too "idealistic". After all, the emotional output could not be felt anywhere in the body.
Wait until October.
Harry became busier.
The same goes for Hermione. She has more classes and homework than every little wizard.
After Ron worked hard, he still couldn't get past those two people, and he still looked like he was doing nothing and doing nothing every day - even though the homework assignments Gryffindor was referring to now changed from two to three.
Quidditch training also begins this month.
Last year, due to the basilisk attack, the Quidditch Cup could not continue, which made Wood very angry. That was Gryffindor's most advantageous year!
As a result, this year...
The Chasers are graduating seventh grade, and they have two full players to replace.
But fortunately, they had Harry, so they still had a huge advantage.
Wood was very energetic and determined to win a Quidditch Cup this year. He formulated a very strict training plan, which was ultimately compromised by Harry's confinement and the Gryffindor Trials.
Damn it!
Why is a little lion so busy?
And just when the third-grade wizards were becoming anxious because of two or three extra classes, a piece of good news came, which made their clouded hearts suddenly clear up.
Third year students will be allowed to go to Hogsmeade on the first weekend before Halloween.
Different from Diagon Alley, it is a brand new village composed entirely of wizards.
Except for some students from wizarding families, most of them have never been there, including Ron, who has never been there either.
In the past, Ron would have been both happy and sad at the same time.
But today is different from the past.
Now the uncle is rich and rich.
He excitedly ran to Fred and George, shook his wallet, and there was a crisp and sweet sound of gold coins hitting: "George, do you want to borrow money?"
He thought for a while, stretched out his palm, opened it completely, and spoke sincerely, but the lion said loudly: "I can lend you five galleons, as long as you pay me six galleons."
George and Fred looked at him with pity.
Ron was startled.
What does this expression mean?
"My dear little Ronnie, you may have been too focused on studying recently." George patted him on the shoulder, "A little bit neglected the things around you."
Fred pulled his robe open, lowered his voice, and shook the money bag hanging in the robe. It was heavy and seemed even more important than Ron's money bag: "Actually, we have made a lot of money recently. "
He weighed the money bag and said, "Three Gallons, sixteen Sikes and twenty-two Nats."
George added: "It can be regarded as four galleons."
"The first stroke of our grand blueprint has been drawn." Fred was a little excited.
George rubbed his hands: "We are going to give Ginny a new hairpin for Christmas this year."
"I also plan to give you a new pet." Fred nodded, "Replace that rat from Scabbers."
Ron turned his head away unnaturally.
"But pets will have to wait until next year." George sighed, "There are not many good kids in Hogwarts who love to study like you."
Ron's expression became even more unnatural.
This sounds so much like swearing.
"We have an appointment with Hufflepuff, see you later, dear Ronnie." Fred ruffled his hair.
George teased: "If you are willing to lend us five galleons, as long as we pay back four galleons, I think we will be happy to lend you the money."
Ron stamped his feet angrily: "Dream!"
The Weasley brothers laughed and left. They were very busy. Except for Slytherin, the other three houses had many of their customers.
Ron cursed and returned to the table: "What's going on with George and Fred?"
"How did they suddenly become so rich?"
He wondered if his family had won the lottery again. His parents sent pocket money to all the children, but they forgot to give it to himself.
"It's the Forbidden Forest." Harry reminded him. "They asked me for a map of the Forbidden Forest."
Ron thought of the bottle of Acromantula venom and felt sad: "They are just empty-handed. Harry, you should ask them for the dividends!"
"It's a deal, a reasonable deal." Harry shook his head, "In fact, judging from the results, I took a slight advantage."
Ron's eyes widened: "That's a steady stream of galleons."
"It's not a constant supply." Hermione shook her head. "The materials they sell are very common medicinal herbs and magical biological materials, and they are already in fifth grade and will graduate in two years at most."
Ron was confused: "Hermione, how do you know?"
"I bought it from them." Hermione waved her hand, "There are some potion ingredients that are not available in the students' medicine cabinets. It will take time to buy them from outside. Hedwig and Crookshanks have been running wild recently. It's more convenient to buy them from them. "
Ron opened his mouth, a little surprised.
He didn't even know about this kind of thing.
Neville also came over: "It's really convenient and the quality is very good. I bought a big pile of Moon Chid beast excrement from them a few days ago. It's so fresh..."
Ron panicked and interrupted him: "Oh, no, why did you buy that thing?"
Neville blushed a little.
"Fertilizer." Hermione explained for him, "The excrement of the Moon Crazy Beast is a very high-quality fertilizer."
Harry sighed helplessly: "I want to buy it too, but the Sorting Hat won't agree to it."
"Don't even think about it!" the Sorting Hat immediately jumped to his feet and shouted loudly, "I know you, Harry, don't even think about stuffing that thing into me!"
"Absolutely impossible! I would rather jump off the tower right now and fall to death, falling to pieces..."
Harry interrupted: "You are a hat, you can't fall to death."
"I'm just expressing my determination!" The Sorting Hat gritted his teeth and replied viciously.
Neville spoke seriously to the Sorting Hat: "You shouldn't be so discriminatory towards the Moon-Crazy Beast's feces. It's actually..."
Harry took off his hat and threw it to Neville, leaving them to continue their bickering.
Ron swallowed his saliva and still couldn't understand why Neville could treat those things so indifferently.
"Harry, how are you going to spend your time in Hogsmeade?" He shook his head, threw away those terrible things, and turned around to talk about things that made him happy, "I remember you went there once..."
Hermione frowned slightly and asked with concern: "Harry, did your aunt's family give you autographs?"
She worries about this.
Judging from the Christmas gifts in the past two years, their relationship was not very harmonious. She also heard Hagrid say that the Dursleys did not intend to let Harry enroll in Hogwarts - even though it was the first year. Something happened.
"Signed." Harry nodded and comforted Hermione, "My aunt and others have been very good to me recently. At least I have a room of my own, and they won't interfere with my study of magic during the holidays."
"Dudley doesn't dare to bully me."
"Although my uncle still curses a lot, his mouth is similar to Professor Snape's. It's just that his brain is a bit weak, and his curses are not so good."
When Hermione heard this, not only could she not calm down, but she was even more stunned.
She was worried and a little distressed.
What kind of life did Harry live before...
She opened her mouth but hesitated to speak, not knowing how to comfort her.
Harry turned around and was already discussing with Ron what kind of candies to buy. Harry didn't like candy very much, but the more times he went to Dumbledore's office, the more types of candies he knew.
This cheerful atmosphere lasted until Halloween.
Ron was always high.
He had already planned how to spend his money - from his parents to his brothers and sisters, he didn't leave anyone behind, not even George and Fred.
His new pet was also delivered recently. It is a very ordinary little gray owl, very inconspicuous, but Ron liked it very much and named it "Boss".
She has been following Hedwig lately.
Hedwig taught it very sternly how to be a good owl and not to be afraid of Crookshanks. Although it was a cat, it would not prey on owls.
Ron has been eager to send the first letter in his life using his own owl.
He was looking forward to it so much.
The day of arriving at Hogsmeade finally came.
Under the inspection of Professor McGonagall, they checked the signatures of the guardians one by one, and then released them one by one from Hogwarts.
It’s the end of October and it hasn’t snowed yet.
But there is already a chill in the air that only exists in winter.
Compared with the last time he came to Hogsmeade, this time Harry had more time and more mood to wander around the village.
Of course, it was more to accompany Ron.
He had held Thirteen Galleons in his hand for a long time, but it was not until today that he realized how much money it really was. They went around Hogsmeade and bought a gift for all the brothers and sisters.
He even invited Harry and Hermione to the Three Broomsticks for a drink, but Ron couldn't even finish the five galleons.
Sit by the window at the bar.
Ron stared at the glass of Irish whiskey in Harry's hand, and then at the butterbeer in his own hand, hesitating whether he should also drink a more mature drink to make himself look like an adult.
"You're not old enough to drink yet." Harry saw through his little thoughts at a glance, "Percy would have to hold me to talk to me all night if you want to know."
