Hogwarts in the shadows

Hephis looked inside curiously.

There are many cabinets on the left side of the room, where various alchemical tools are neatly stacked.

The rest of the room is occupied by rows of bookshelves.

Judging from the number alone, it is probably one-tenth of the Hogwarts library.

Hephis wandered casually among the bookshelves. The books inside were quite diverse.

The books on two of the bookshelves are obviously different.

The human head portraits, bones, and indescribable objects on the cover all exude a strange atmosphere.

There were even a few books that were tightly bound with chains, and they would make a "jiejiejie" sound when touched.

Hephis hadn't read those books, and he probably thought they were all some strange black magic.

He went to the other bookshelves and rummaged around, picking up some books on Potions and Transfiguration.

He also separated eight black hands and asked them to write down the titles of the books so that he could find them more easily later.

Although Shadow Blackhand couldn't understand words, he had no problem copying them.

Hephes came to the table with a pile of books.

"Animagi" is what wizards often call Animagus.

The Animagus preparation process is very complicated, time-consuming and requires some luck.

The person who uses this magic cannot choose what kind of animal he or she turns into, but can only turn into the animal that suits him or her best.

At the same time, Animagus transformation is limited to non-magical creatures, and the transformation of magical creatures will bring unpredictable consequences.

What good is it for a non-magical creature to transform into something else, especially one that cannot be chosen.

Therefore, Hephes was very dismissive when he read "Animagus".

However, this book is not the same as the Animagus in the Hogwarts library.

The book "Animagi" is more like the original version, and the spells used are completely different from those in "Animagus".

The transformed creatures in this book can be selected, which means directional transformation.

What excited Hephis the most was that "Animagi" stated that magical creatures could also be tried.

However, if the transformation fails, it will mean losing the opportunity to transform forever.

But if I fail, I fail. As long as I can recover my human form, that's fine.

Transforming into a magical creature is still very attractive to him.

Especially after the transformation is successful, the strength of the human body can be enhanced, which makes Hephes very excited.

However, the preliminary preparations for this type of transformation are more complicated and it is estimated to take at least three years.

Hephis's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an idea came into his mind.

He has been increasing his strength by devouring human shadows, but can he devour the shadows of other creatures?

What about magical creatures, house-elves?

You have to know that the magic of house-elves and wizards are not from the same system.

His heart beat more violently, and he could hear the sound of his heartbeat, like the whisper of a devil.

Give it a try! Give it a try! Give it a try!

He used the brain-blocking technique to force himself to calm down.

Try, you must try.

But this time he didn't want to be the guinea pig.

When we catch the dark wizards later, we will use them for experiments.

Hephis took a deep breath and used all his strength to close the Animagi.

In the next few days, Hephis cleaned up everything he had done in the Muggle world.

The furniture matter was given to Vanasa, who was asked to help with the selection, as for the principles.

Just choose the expensive ones, not the right ones.

Let Weir advance the money first, and then use the money earned from the factory to make up for it later.

Weir also prepared the products, and Hefeth tried them and the results were quite good.

Moreover, in just five days, 13,000 products were produced, far exceeding Hephis' expectations.

As for the reason.

What does Will do? He is the current leader of the Vulture Gang.

He has a bunch of younger brothers under him who point guns at the workers every day while they work.

Forget about 996, on average each worker works 18 hours a day.

But there is no need to rush later.

Hephis quickly told Will to give the workers a holiday.

He doesn't want to be a black-hearted boss who exploits his employees.

He doesn't care about sales or anything like that. He has to do everything himself, so why would he need a younger brother?

On the last day of vacation, he did not contact Snape because he did not want to trouble the professor.

I just don't know whether Snape will be surprised or not when he receives the Christmas gift from him.

An An took Hephis directly back to Hogwarts Castle.

Hephis was very moved when he saw An An's shadow.

He also wants unlimited Apparition!

You can try it when you have the chance. Silhouette won’t hurt An An anyway.

He just had to find a suitable time to let An An sleep in front of him.

It was exactly noon, and Hephis went directly to the auditorium to eat.

Little girl Hermione hasn't come back yet, and the Hogwarts Express she took won't arrive until the evening.

Hephis glanced around the Gryffindor table and soon found his target, two red-haired girls who were almost touching each other.

"Good afternoon, George and Fred." Hephis greeted.

"Good afternoon, Hephis." The twins said at the same time.

As Hephis put food on his plate, he said, "I have a business here, do you want to do it?"

"Business, what business? As long as we can make money, we will definitely do it!" Fred's eyes were full of stars.

Hefeth took the product out of the small bag and threw it to them.

The twins looked at it carefully, but still couldn't figure out what it was.

Hephis took out another one, rubbed it gently, and threw it to them again.

Fred was still confused, looking at two identical things.

It was George who first discovered the bright spots. He covered the two objects with his hands.

"The temperature is different!" George looked at Hefeth in surprise.

Fred quickly followed suit, the same thing, but at completely different temperatures.

"Is there a market for it?" Hephis asked.

"Yes! There must be." The twins said in unison.

Although wizards can cast insulation spells, most young wizards cannot maintain stable magic output.

However, those clothes on the market that can keep warm continuously cost hundreds of Galleons each piece, which is simply not affordable for ordinary wizarding families.

So in the cold winter, as long as the price is right, such products will definitely have a market.

"Does this thing have a name? How long does it last?" Fred asked.

"Warm Baby, the time is not stable at the moment, about four to six hours." Hephis explained.

"That's enough," George said.

"What about the price?" Fred asked.

"Five Knuts a piece, ten Sickles a piece."

"How much do you have?" George continued to ask.

"Thirteen thousand, definitely enough."

The twins looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Fred asked shyly, "Then can we..."

"I provide the products, but I don't care about the sales."

The twins nodded repeatedly, looking at Hephis with hope in their eyes.

"You guys..." Hephisla said in a long voice: "About 40%."

"Forty percent?" the twins exclaimed.

"No, no, 40% is too much." George shook his head.

There is a huge market for warm baby products and it can be said that there is no problem with their sales. Such a good thing can earn 40% just from sales, which is really too much.

"40%. Listen to me on this matter. I will have many more products in the future, and we can continue to cooperate for a long time."

Hephaestus held out his hand.

The twins also stretched out their hands, and the three of them held them tightly together.

"Pleasant to work with."
