Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

As soon as he opened the door of the castle, Rollo heard the warm atmosphere coming from the auditorium. It was just the beginning of dinner, and the little wizards were all chatting happily with their companions.

Rollo came back at the right time. If he waited a little longer, maybe the most popular dishes on the table would be empty. Although it would be nice to go to the kitchen and turn on the stove, Rollo still preferred a lively dinner. .

Just as he was about to enter the auditorium from the side door, a greeting sounded from the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor not far away.

"Hey! Wait! Rollo!"

This voice echoed with its own resonance, and it sounded very familiar.

"So it's you. What's the matter, Fred and George?"

After hearing the twins' shouts, Rollo stopped.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Can I delay you for a little while?"

"We have something we want to talk to you about."

"Is there anything more important than dinner?" Luo Luo glanced at them with a smile. Although he hadn't said anything yet, he had already guessed something about Duan Mi.

"I can help you make food!"

“The elf’s hot food is the same as dinner!”

The twins who rubbed their hands said enthusiastically. They were frequent visitors to the kitchen, going there more often than Rollo.

"In that case, let's talk."

There are also a lot of empty classrooms on the first floor, or more than 90.00% of the rooms in Hogwarts Castle are vacant. There are not so many resources available for the students who have more than a thousand students. They quickly came to a room that was being cleaned. In the clean empty room, there are old and simple sofa seats, but they are obviously not matching.

"George and I got some information. Rollo, you are already the school director of Hogwarts, right?"

"And it also invested in the Nimbus Broomstick Factory. I saw that the Slytherin team had received new brooms, so I went to inquire about it."

"It seems that your ability to gather information is really good."

This actually made Rollo appreciate the twins. Although these two were naughty and mischievous, their wit and sensitivity were more than one level higher than those of their peers.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"We are honored."

The two bowed slightly as if they were playing tricks. These small actions quickly shortened the distance between them and Luo Luo.

"Actually, we have always had a great dream." Fred said while the iron was hot.

"There are too many unpleasant things in this world. It might be screwing up an exam, having your girlfriend stolen by someone else, or falling into Professor Sprout's scrap heap."

"In short, there are many unpleasant things, and these things often make people listless for a long time, and ruin the things that could have been done well."

"We want to save this world, which is covered in misfortune."

"For example, put something happy in it."

"This is something that George and I have been thinking about since we entered school, although many of it are incomplete and incomplete."

“But it’s filled with the best inspiration in the world that we’ve accumulated over countless sleepless nights!”

The twins sang in unison and placed a stack of carefully organized parchment in front of Rollo. The title that caught their eye was 'Weasley's Wizard Wheezes Product Catalog'.

After Rollo opened it, the dazzling array of products covered two pages of parchment, but most of them were marked with the words "conception" or "comparison" with a certain prop that already existed on the market.

As he continued to read, Luo Luo had to give a thumbs up to the twins' wild ideas. The twins who are good at playing tricks on others naturally know best what things can make people laugh, and they have the right amount of pranks. .

"That's a genius idea, so your big dream is to open a Weasley's Wizard Wheezes?"

“We just want to be happy movers.”

“Put a little more smile on people’s faces.”

"Why don't you say you are the maker? People are made to laugh by you, aren't they?"

"Because the smile will never disappear." Fred answered each of Rollo's questions seriously, even if it seemed to have nothing to do with the current matter, he was quite serious.

"A smile just moves from one person's face to another's face." George said the second half of the sentence, and both of them dealt with it with ease.

"Tragedy is the heart of comedy."

"But we are trying hard to grasp the scale."

"This way we won't make some guests happy while offending the other half."

"As long as smiles never fade from the world, our stores will continue to provide everyone with fun and tricks they can't put down."

"Maybe a good investment?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the twins who were waiting for these words, but they did not cheer out at this moment, but waited with bated breath for the next step.

"But most of these are just ideas, right?"

Rollo knocked on the thin booklet, "I haven't seen any real objects. Although the ideas in it are very good, they lack practical persuasion. I don't doubt the talents of both of you, but that is your future." Achievement, you are only in third grade now, and there are still many things you need to learn and master."

"Actually, we did some experiments." Fred's face showed a slight tangle.

"Due to lack of funds, we can only improve and experiment with some cheaper props."

"Is that so?" Luo Luo's face became more curious, "Let me guess, this prop should be one of the items on the list, right?"

Rollo's fingers ran across the long product catalog, and the twins nodded.

"An improved version of the big shit egg?"

"How did you guess that?!"

"Incredible, we haven't told anyone."

The twins looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

"Peeves told me a few days ago that he had taken good care of your brother Percy when he was kissing a girl..."

"Oh~~~~~~"

The twins made a long and meaningful sound, but then their faces darkened.

"He told me that the big dung eggs he got from you were much stronger than those seized from other places. As soon as they hit Percy on the head, he was so smoked that he vomited them out. The kind that took two people together. .....”

"Zhen Zhengzhen, just thinking about it is already tragic enough. You guys are really capable of doing this."

"We have nothing but respect for Percy." Fred tensed up with a straight face.

"I never thought of testing it on him." George said seriously.

"But it works pretty well, right?"

The twins, who still couldn't hold back their laughter, twitched and held their stomachs. There was no need for them to show the weapons to Rollo now. After all, the big dung eggs taken from Professor Sprout's fertilizer pile were genuine. A real guy, how could he not be so lethal?

"The effect is outstanding, this description is very suitable."

Rollo nodded, and then took out his small bag.

"With a research fund of [-] gold galleons per year, I can give you five years to prepare and plan. That is, including this year, until you graduate, the research fee will be [-] gold galleons every year."

"In five years' time, of course, this time can also be brought forward. When you are ready to open, I will also sponsor one hundred thousand galleons for you to buy a store, hire shop assistants, set up your processing plant, publish external advertisements, etc."

Rollo dug into his small bag and then took out a heavy bag, "Here are two thousand cash. If it's too much, you can't bring it with you now. I will sign a Gringotts withdrawal slip for the remaining eight thousand. You can Ready to use.”

The cute little girl exuding brilliant golden light was crowded in this bag. The open mouth of the bag made the twins' eyes shine, but none of them reached out in a hurry. Instead, they asked with restraint:

"What do we need to pay?"

"Maybe for you, Rollo, this is not too much money."

"But this is very important to us, it is the starting point of our career."

"A smart Slytherin doesn't do business at a loss."

"We think you are the smartest Slytherin."

The twins' words always sound so pleasing to the ears, and they are naturally good materials for doing business.

"I don't want much, just 20.00% dividend after opening. I don't care about the rest. I won't interfere with your research and business, and I don't need you to give me any account list. I have no interest in money. I only care about your investment. It's because you are talented people and smart enough that you have this ability, I want to believe this."

"What's more, I think you are quite pleasing to the eye. This is the biggest reason."

Luo Luo's candid words also moved the twins a little, especially the tycoon's statement that he was not interested in money made them feel at ease. Thinking about it carefully, Luo Luo really didn't need to do anything for them.

This investment that was more emotionally focused was many times heavier than the gold galleons in the bag. The twins, who suddenly felt a little stressed, did not want Rollo to disappoint them.

"Maybe we should consider taking a few more certificates in two years, George."

"As our dear boss's first investment target in school, his resume must look better, right?"

The twins, whose brain circuits are a little different from ordinary people, didn't know why they suddenly turned to this matter. It was probably because Percy was in fifth grade this year and was facing the OWLs exam, so they suddenly thought of this.

"Your mother will be happy for you."

Rollo smiled and shook his head, forgetting it for his own sake, but if this happened, Mrs. Weasley would probably be happy.

"hope so."

"Do two birds with one stone!"

The twins gave a cheerful high-five with a big smile on their faces.

"Then please allow me to prepare a late dinner for you, my respected boss!"

"Be right back, please wait a moment!"

The twins who slipped out immediately did not forget what they had said before. They couldn't help but be excited and jumped up and down, releasing their surprise that they had nowhere to vent.

Not long after, a dinner that suited Rollo's appetite was brought over. The two of them, who were busy refilling drinks and handing napkins, made a perfect guest appearance as hotel waiters.

Perhaps only after putting in actual work, they will feel at ease when they pick up this bag of gold galleons. After all, they are still young and can only be regarded as children. This huge sum of money is also not a small sum. burden.

"You can take out the withdrawal slip signed by me at any time, but it can only be taken out once. When you go to Gringotts, it is best to open your own vault. If your parents find out, you can explain the situation directly. , this is an aboveboard investment, and you deserve it.”

The twins nodded quickly, and these last few additions from Rollo also brought an end to this perfect cooperation.

"You can come to me directly if you need anything later, so I'll take my leave now."

"Please wait."

When Rollo was about to open the door and leave, the twins exchanged glances and reached a unified opinion.

"Anything else?"

“We are grateful to be described by you.”

"But a thank you is too gentle."

"Perhaps George and I can't come up with any exciting inventions yet."

"But we still have a treasure that helps us sleep more soundly at night."

"There are many seniors of ours in Hogwarts."

"They were our first teachers in mischief."

"If it wasn't for them."

"Maybe George and I are still having a blast playing with the turd egg."

"Please allow George and I to introduce you to some of our respected seniors."

"Padfoot, Prongs, Moony, and Wormtail."

Fred took out a piece of carefully preserved parchment from his arms. The parchment was somewhat yellowed due to its age, and there were some signs of wear on the corners, but it was still intact.

“This is a gem we discovered in first grade.”

"In Filch's office."

"When he was about to hang us up and whip us, we found a cupboard."

"It says 'Confiscated Item. Highly Dangerous'."

"So George dropped a big shit egg, and we loved this little thing."

"Fred pulled open the cabinet and we found it."

"The biggest secret of Hogwarts is recorded here."

"And now, it's yours."

Fred handed over the old parchment and George drew his wand.

"I solemnly swear that I will do no good."

They spoke in unison and tapped the map with the tip of their staff.

Where the wand touched, a black dot of ink appeared. Thin ink lines spread out quickly like a spider web, connecting to each other on the parchment paper, outlining countless patterns, and covering the entire page in an instant. parchment.

Several lines of green squiggles appear at the top:

'Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs'

'Gentlemen who help magic mischief makers'

'Recommended - Marauder's Map'

This map depicting all the details of Hogwarts Castle and grounds is incredibly detailed, with countless small black dots moving across the map. At this moment, the crowded Great Hall is filled with ink dots, while other places appear empty.

"I hope you like this little gift."

"Please accept it, otherwise we will feel so useless."

They said with a smile, but there was still a little bit of reluctance in their eyes.

"We have basically figured out all the shortcuts and byways."

"Hogwarts is more familiar than our family."

"Hope you have fun."

"Have sweet dreams, our boss!"

(I don’t feel very well today, I have a bit of a stomachache, so I’ll just update 4K for the time being, and I’ll write more tomorrow to make up for it)

(Regarding the missing 42 chapters, the editor was not working on the weekends and did not reply to me. But even if he came back, his soul was gone. Alas... I will write a 'subtitle' here in Dian Niang from now on, and I will post other posts in groups. It’s ready.)
