Chapter 199 Let's Do some Research, How to Make the Chamaejasba More Unpalatable?
"That's right!" Hermione suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran to Professor McGonagall's office,
"Harry, I want to ask Professor McGonagall something about my class schedule. You should go back to the dormitory first."
"What happened to her schedule?" Fred asked casually as Hermione disappeared in front of his eyes.
"Nothing important." Harry shook his head, and suddenly asked curiously,
"Speaking of Fred, George,"
"Don't you guys dislike classes? Why did you join Professor McGonagall's club?"
"Oh, no, no, dear Miss Harry Potter, you seem to have misunderstood us a little bit."
Fred grinned and shook a finger,
"It's not that we don't like taking classes, on the contrary, we really like taking useful classes."
"Of course, we also hate certain courses, certain courses that don't work,"
George put his arms around Fred's neck, and continued his brother's words solemnly,
"Like a history of magic."
"And Divination, that old crook's Divination lesson, isn't it, George, that ain't no use at all."
"You're right, Fred. Of course, for useful classes, like Potions, we'll pay close attention even if the professor is a nasty old bat."
The two sang and talked together, and finally said in unison:
"Our goal is to open the largest magic joke toy store in the world! So we will put all our efforts into it!"
"A lofty and interesting ideal." Harry was more interested in this. "How are you going to accomplish this goal?"
"We're starting to design magic products now." Fred said triumphantly, and George pulled out a piece of parchment from his pocket in cooperation.
"We took various private jobs to earn a small amount of money, and used these funds plus pocket money to design products."
"After finishing making some products, trying them on ourselves, and confirming that they are safe, we are going to sell them to our classmates, so as to accumulate fame, get more basic funds, and finally open a store in Diagon Alley."
"Look at the product we're working on, the canary biscuit, which turns a person into a giant canary with feathers that fall off after a while."
"There is also fat tongue taffy, which can make the user's tongue swell greatly. Taking a specific antidote can cancel this magical effect."
"It's a pity that these products still have bugs," George added.
"The former often has feathers that cannot fall off, while the latter's antidote is not stable."
Harry asked with interest: "Can I learn about the production process of these magic items?"
The twin brothers looked at each other and said at the same time, "Oh, no, no."
"Dear little Hallie, this is a commercial secret. Unless you are willing to invest in our great cause, we may not release some information to you."
"Of course I can invest," Harry thought for a while, then said softly,
"As long as you can prove the potential of your plans, prove that they can make money in the future, and let me let go of the production methods of some magic props."
"Really!" The two exclaimed in surprise, but then George said to Harry with a serious face,
"Harry, I must remind you that you have to carefully consider this matter."
"Our parents didn't support us, so we started from scratch, and at most we could only get some technical support from our parents."
"We don't know what our future will be. We are just working hard for our dreams. If you really invest, your money is likely to go to waste." Fred is also very serious.
Although the two were desperate to secure an outside funding, their morals and upbringing prevented them from maliciously defrauding others with false information to obtain investment.
What's more, both of them believed that Harley was an orphan, without the support of her family, she should not rashly spend the inheritance left by her parents.
"You don't have to worry," Harley shook her head, "I have the money to invest in your dreams."
"Don't forget that I won the Potions Tournament and the Order of Merlin, both of which have bonuses."
"And I also licensed the patent of a potion formula to the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists, and let them rent it out on my behalf, and plan to license more patents there."
"So I can already earn money now."
Fred and George looked at each other again, then nodded:
"Well, if you do have a long-term source of money, then we can accept your investment."
"We will demonstrate the potential of our program as soon as possible."
...
Seeing Fred and George hurried back to the dormitory because of excitement, Harry hummed a little tune and continued to wait for Hermione on the spot.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the magic shop that the Weasley twins want to open doesn't make any money.
If he really wanted to make money, Harley, who already had the level of a potions master, had a lot of ways.
What she valued was the development of magic props by the two of them, and she took a gamble on whether they could draw inferences and help her learn Nicole's alchemy.
At this time, Hermione also came out of the office, and hurriedly dragged Harry back to the dormitory.
"What did you talk to Professor McGonagall before?" Harry asked softly on the way.
"Didn't you mention time magic last time? I suddenly thought of a question." Hermione said with some annoyance,
"If I travel back in time through a time-turner, will my lifespan increase?"
"If it doesn't increase, then wouldn't I have to consume more life span in a short time?"
"so what?"
"Professor McGonagall affirmed my question." Hermione said bitterly,
"Although the Ministry of Magic has not conducted much related research, it is certain that I spent my own lifespan when I went back in the Time Converter."
"My God, I don't want to age early, but I also don't want to return the Time Converter to Professor McGonagall and give up some courses."
Harry shrugged, this question needs Hermione to think for herself.
...
Professor Snape's confinement was as entertaining as ever that evening.
During this semester, Professor Snape began to teach Harry some special and unorthodox potions, such as Wolfsbane Potion.
"The Wolfsbane Potion is a great new invention," Professor Snape introduced to Harry in as calm a voice as possible,
"I have to say that Damocles Belby is a genius. He invented this potion specifically for those disgusting werewolves."
Professor Snape paused, sneered ironically, and with a wave of his wand, took out a large pile of materials.
"Then, in the first few weeks of the class, we will learn how to make the wolfsbane potion, and make the taste of this potion more impressive without changing its efficacy."
