Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Yes, go and see where you sleep!" George followed, and he blinked hard at Ivan.

"You don't move!" Mrs. Weasley suddenly yelled.

Fred and George immediately froze in place with bitter expressions on their faces.

Ivan, Harry, and Ron glanced at each other, and they cautiously slipped sideways out of the kitchen, followed by Hermione and Ginny.

They walked down narrow passages and up rickety stairs.

The stairs turned and turned, leading to the upper floors.

"What's going on?" Harry asked.

"Fred and George were found by Mom, they were too careless!" Ron whispered, "Mom found a lot of Galleons while cleaning Fred and George's room!"

"Golden Gallon?!"

"Yeah, that's what Professor Lupine sent them over, there are a hundred of them!" Ron looked at Ivan, "It's the aid you gave them and the money they put in the store to sell the goods, I never knew they made so much money."

"Mum was horrified to see such a large sum of money!" Ginny went on, "and she started to ask them where they got the money, and she thought they stole it from somewhere, that night It was noisy all night."

"Fred and George originally planned to hide it, but they couldn't bear it and told the matter. They told their mother that the money is your assistance and start-up funds for their research career." Ron said to Ivan, " You'd better be careful, before you came, Mom had already talked about it countless times, and she seemed very dissatisfied with you helping them study these things."

Ivan swallowed, remembering Mrs. Weasley's anger.

"My God, Ivan, you've been helping Fred and George to research these things!" Hermione said in surprise, "I always thought you used all the money you earned from the newspaper to do serious things, such as buying magic Medicinal ingredients..."

"Most of it was spent on that, but there's some left over, and I'll give it to Fred and George . . . "

Under Hermione's gaze, Ivan's voice became smaller and smaller.

Things seemed to be getting more troublesome, and looking at Hermione, she seemed even angrier than before.

Hermione got angry only because Ivan didn't stop Fred and George from playing dirty tricks on Dudley.

Only now did she suddenly discover that Ai Wen was actually behind the whole incident.

Looking at Hermione's face, Ivan knew that this matter could not be explained clearly.

"Mom is making too much of a fuss. I've seen their supply list, and everything on it is very interesting." Ron didn't notice Hermione's abnormality, and said nonchalantly, "There are several long pages of price lists, all of which are The things they invented, you know, fake wands, magic candies, a lot of things, they have researched so much..."

"I also thought they were just making some candy, and those quick-acting skipping candies worked really well!" Ginny said, "there was always the sound of explosions in their room, and I thought they just liked to hear the noise! "

Hearing what the two of them said, Hermione's face became even uglier.

She stared at Ivan angrily, frowning tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Of course, Mum is right, most of the stuff they make is more dangerous," said Ron. "She was so mad that night, she took all Fred and George's stock and burned it, and Warned them to stop doing this kind of stuff, she's been mad at them since that day and let her down with their OWLs."

OWLs are the Ordinary Wizarding Levels, exams that Hogwarts students take when they are 15 years old.

For little wizards, it is very important.

Only by obtaining sufficient certificates and grades can you continue to take upper-year courses at Hogwarts.

This is an important exam that can affect future employment and career development and cannot be ignored.

"They had another fight after that, because of the bad grades, and it was a hell of a fight!" said Ginny. "Mum wanted them both to work in the Ministry of Magic in the future, like Dad, but they told her they only wanted Open a joke shop."

"I heard that, do you know how my mother answered at that time?!" Ron added, "She said that if this is the case, she will sever the mother-child relationship with them, and never care about the two of them again."

Hearing this, Aiwen already felt a little guilty.

If Fred, George, and Mrs. Weasley were at odds because of this, then he was the real culprit.

Hermione obviously thought so too, she had been staring at Ivan.

Although there is a lot of pressure, Ivan still believes that letting Fred and George continue to study is the right way.

The two of them have great potential in this area. After the training technique is introduced, they can make many truly powerful magic props, not the prank products that little wizards use to play tricks.

At that time, it will not be just a joke shop, but their shop will become a giant in the magic world.

The blueprint for the future has already been forged, and this kind of thing is exciting enough just to think about it.

Of course, before that, we must first find a way to persuade Mrs. Weasley and Hermione to support them in doing so.

Mrs. Weasley was okay with saying that as long as Fred and George achieved enough results, she could agree.

As for Hermione, it's mainly Ivan's troubles!

It seems that he needs to find time to have an in-depth communication with Hermione...

Just as Ivan was thinking about how to persuade Hermione, a door on the second-floor platform opened.

From it protruded a face, wearing horn-rimmed glasses, with an impatient expression.

"Hi, Percy," said Harry hastily, who was standing by the door.

"Oh, it's you guys, hello!" Percy said, and then saw Ivan standing behind, his eyes lit up, "Ivan, where did you go at the end of last semester? You missed my Graduation ceremony, I was hired by the Ministry of Magic!"

"Congratulations!" Ivan said hastily.

"Thank you!" said Percy proudly, looking over at Ron. "I don't know who's been making all this noise. You know, I'm working hard here, and I'm rushing to write an essay for the office. A report, but the constant rumble of people running up and down the stairs made it difficult for me to concentrate."

"We're not rumbling around." Under Percy's gaze, Ron looked annoyed, and he said through gritted teeth, "We're walking, so sorry if we're interrupting the Ministry's top-secret work." .”

Chapter 443 Dinner and Performance

"What are you up to?" Harry asked.

"Write a report for the Department of International Magical Cooperation." Percy said proudly, "We are going to test the thickness of the crucible according to the standard. The bottom of some foreign imported products is too thin, and the leakage rate is almost [-]% per year. The speed is growing!"

"Remarkable, this report will change the world," said Ron sarcastically. "Think about it, the Daily Prophet will have it on the front page: Leaking Cauldron."

Percy's face turned pink at his words.

"Go ahead with your sarcasm, Ron!" he said passionately, "but there has to be some kind of international law enacted, or we'll find the market flooded with good and bad products, thin-bottomed, fragile, and seriously harmful...  "

"Okay, okay." Ron said impatiently, and walked upstairs again.

Behind them, Percy slammed the bedroom door shut.

Like everyone, Ivan has no interest in the report on "Crucible Leakage" that Percy is writing.

He was thinking, maybe he could find out from Percy about the recent situation of his immediate boss, Mr. Barty Crouch.

Aiwen didn't expect Percy to find any abnormalities, but as long as he could quickly grasp some clues, it was enough.

If Voldemort wanted to save his most ardent servant, Barty Crouch was an impossible hurdle to bypass.

But considering Percy's character, Ivan doubted that he would help him.

He probably wished that Crouch would give him all the power and let him prove his ability.

Following Ron, Ivan and the others climbed up three more flights of stairs, and they could still hear the shouts from the kitchen below.

It was loud, and Mr. Weasley seemed to have told Mrs. Weasley about the transforming candies.

These voices dragged Ivan's thoughts back to reality, and don't think about Voldemort and Barty Crouch Jr. first.

It was serious business to appease Hermione who was angry.

Pushing the door and entering, Ron's room seemed to be no different from before.

There were posters of Ron's favorite Quidditch team, the Chudley Flames, all over the walls.

The players flew up and down the walls and sloping ceilings, waving endlessly.

There is still a goldfish tank on the windowsill, which used to house frog eggs, but now it is a terrifyingly large frog.

Ron's old pet mouse, Scabbers, was gone, replaced by a little gray owl gifted to him by Sirius.

It jumped up and down in a small cage, chirping non-stop.

"Shut up, piggy!" said Ron, squeezing sideways between the two beds.

There were a total of five beds in the room, and it was packed to the brim.

"Charlie and Bill are back, so Fred and George will live here too!" He said to Ivan and Harry, "Percy insists on occupying a room by himself because he has to work."

"Percy seems to like working, doesn't he?" Harry sat down on one of the beds.

He looked up to see the Chudley Cannons whizzing around on the posters on the ceiling.

"Like?!" said Ron in a sullen tone. "He won't come home if Daddy doesn't pull him back. He's a workaholic. You don't want to start him talking about their boss, Mr. Crouch." Crouch thinks so, I say so to Mr Crouch, Mr Crouch thinks so, and Mr Crouch tells me they're going to announce that they're hiring him any minute now."

"Stop talking about Percy, Alvin, how was your vacation?" Ginny asked, "You suddenly disappeared at the end of last semester, which worried me badly. There are rumors all over the school that you were seriously injured .”

"Don't worry, I'm fine now..."

"Speaking of this incident, the three of us are almost driven crazy!" Ron added, "After you and Sirius left, everyone knew that it happened when you were on an adventure with us, and they took turns Ask for news related to this matter."

Ivan knew that Ron wanted to inquire about his experience during the summer vacation and whether he had obtained the half of the Philosopher's Stone.

But it's obviously not wise to talk about this in front of Ginny.

Whether it is the Sorcerer's Stone left by Gryffindor, the fallen horsemen, Voldemort or the evil gods, it is not suitable for others to know.

Ivan had to keep it a secret, and he didn't even tell Harry everything, but only told Hermione completely.

"As you know, I went to France during the vacation, and Dumbledore took us to the Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to find his old friend Nicole Flamel, who helped me solve all the problems." Ivan said briefly.

Then, he began to tell Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny what he had seen and heard in France.

"This is really good, I want to go to Beauxbatons to have a look too!" Ron said enviously, "This is really an unforgettable adventure. The locations of all magic schools are kept secret, and it is difficult for outsiders to find them except for the students there." opportunity to get into it."

"Let me go anywhere as long as I'm not with the Muggles!" Harry sighed, and continued, "Before the World Cup, I want to see Sirius, and I don't know how he is now. "

"My dad said, we'll go see him tomorrow." Ron said, as if thinking of something, "By the way, Ivan, the piece of magic left by Gryffindor..."

"I think they're done arguing." Hermione stood up abruptly.

She saw Ginny looking at Ron curiously, and then at Ivan.

Obviously, she wanted to know what Ron said, what was left of Gryffindor!

In order to hide the embarrassment of this moment, Hermione said hastily, "Let's go down and help your mother prepare dinner, shall we?"

"Okay." Ginny nodded.

Five people left the room one by one, and Ivan deliberately stayed at the end, and he gently tugged Hermione.

"Hermione, I want to talk to you!" Ivan looked into Hermione's eyes, "About Weasley's magic tricks."

Hermione stared at Ivan for a while, and under Ivan's unflinching gaze, she lowered her head in embarrassment.

"We do need to talk about the use of the newspaper's revenue, and your aid to Fred and George's research." Hermione tried to say in a normal tone, "If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tonight. It depends on your performance before you consider whether to forgive me!"

Ivan froze for a moment, not sure what Hermione meant.

Hermione is obviously angry now, how should she behave in order to satisfy her? !

When several people returned downstairs, they found that Mrs. Weasley was busy in the kitchen alone, feeling extremely bad.

She gave Ivan a hard look, still bothered by Weasley's magic trick.

"Well, we'll have supper in the yard!" she said. "There's no room for twelve here, girls, and you can help me out. You three, get out these plates and knives and forks."

Chapter 444 The Pyramid of Pharaoh Hermes

Mrs. Weasley said as she tapped a pile of potatoes in the sink with her wand.

But unexpectedly, she used a little more force.

The potatoes were peeling themselves so fast that they shot up to the walls and ceiling.

"My God, it's all these two guys!" she said viciously, picking up the potatoes on the ceiling one by one with the dustpan, "I don't know what they will become. Know how to get into trouble..."

Mrs. Weasley took a large brass saucepan from the cupboard and slammed it down on the kitchen table.

"They're not unintelligent." She stuck her wand into the saucepan, and a stream of creamy sauce sprayed from the tip of the wand.

Mrs. Weasley stirred vigorously, and said angrily, "But those clever people are not in the right place. Unless they cheer up quickly and change their ways, they will be in trouble. The owl who flew from Hogwarts to complain to them , more than everyone else combined. If they keep going like this, they'll end up in the Misuse of Magic Office."

She poked the knife drawer again with her wand, and it popped open.

Ivan took a step back subconsciously, because he noticed that Mrs. Weasley was looking at him angrily.

"And you, Ivan!" Under the control of Mrs. Weasley, the knife began to chop potatoes, "I don't blame you, you are a good boy, but I don't think you should assist them Those studies, especially with such a large amount of money!"

"That's all the money they got from selling the props they made in the store. I didn't help much." Aiwen said hurriedly, "The products of the two of them are very popular, and they have great potential in this area. I think... ..."

Ivan couldn't continue talking immediately, he saw Hermione standing beside Mrs. Weasley and looking at him.
