034 Communication

"Professor Snape is our Potions professor, so it shouldn't be good to give such an ugly nickname." As a representative of good students, Hermione did not agree with this practice of giving nicknames. Although she was quite dissatisfied with Snape's bias, she still believed that the professor was a professor and that some respect was always required.

"You are a student of Ravenclaw, it's not surprising that you think so." George shrugged. "Snape maintained at least a basic moral bottom line when facing you and Hufflepuff. For us, Gryffindor, he often breaks this bottom line."

"For example, the first class in the first grade last week was like that." Fred said indignantly, "A freshman named Neville Longbottom in our college, caused the cauldron to explode in class because the timing was wrong when boiling the drug, but Harry Potter, who was sitting behind another table, was blamed for not telling Longbottom not to add a porcupine thorn and was deducted points."

"This is indeed a bit too much." Venetto shook his head and said, as a ship girl, she had a strong sense of military spirit, so she was very disgusted with this kind of destruction of rules. "If this happens, I think he has some problems with his teacher ethics."

As a tragic character in the original work, Snape does have something pity for people. But from the perspective of a professor alone, Snape is not very qualified at least in terms of teacher ethics. At least as a teacher, it is obviously undesirable to be habitually affected by some of the students.

After explaining the twins, Hermione also felt that Snape had done too much in some places, but she still insisted that the professor should not be given such an ugly nickname. However, unlike Hermione in the original book, she seemed much more mature in dealing with people because of Hugo's existence and did not continue to refute the twins' views.

"By the way, why are you boiling these potions?" Venetto asked curiously, looking at the potions on the table. "These should be some first-grade potions, are you trying to improve them?"

"It's improving." Speaking of his hard work, Fred and George raised their eyebrows at the same time and said, "It's just that different from what you imagined. We're trying to make some - how to say it? More interesting potions."

"For example?" Hermione asked curiously after watching Fred move the cauldron away from the fire. "I think your improvement is quite powerful now. I have replaced the scabies agent that was originally used externally for internal use, but I don't feel that it's worth much."

Hermione's analysis is very objective. If you change the original external potion to the internal potion, you don't mention that you need to add a lot of extra potion to the potion and multiply the cost of this cheap potion by two. The strange smell alone is enough to make most people respect Wumin.

"But what we need is not just a drug that can be taken orally to cure scabies," George explained. "In fact, we want to make a drug that will make you scabies covered in just one bite and an antidote that matches this drug."

"What you're making should be a prank toy, these ideas are quite creative." While Hermione was still wondering why she wanted to make such a meaningless potion, Hugo had already guessed what the Weasley twins were thinking.

It seems that the series of prank products they developed later were not thought of until they opened the Weasley Joke Store in the end. It is very likely that they had this idea on the first day of school. For example, the drug they are thinking about now is very similar to the drug that can quickly skip class afterwards.

"Yes, that's it." George and Fred smiled at Hugo at the same time, and they were glad that someone could guess what they thought. "The prank toys sold on the market are so old, most of which are what our parents and even our ancestors are playing with. We think this situation should be changed."

"A very good idea." Hugo's praise comes from the heart. At least he thinks that young people of the age of the Weasley brothers can be considered very ambitious to be determined to innovate in one aspect. And he suddenly found that this could be an entry point for his own money.

Making money is very important for Hugo, because the money in the wizarding world allows him to obtain the skills they master from the ship girls, but because the cheapest skills require 100 Gallons, Hugo can only drool when watching those skills.

So considering the Weasley brothers' subsequent money-making level, he felt that it would be a good idea to intervene in their careers at this time. So he said: "Why do you have to make this medicine oral? It is not easy to add the complexity of the medicine and the cost of manufacturing."

"But if it is not done oral, how can it be used for pranks?" George asked in confusion. "You can't throw this bottle of stuff into someone else's face, but if this happens, it's an attack, it's not a prank at all."

"You can use wet wipes dipped in potion," Hugo thought for a while and said, "Some people will wipe their mouths with wet wipes after dinner. Isn't this a prank successful? Then you dip another matching wet wipe in the antidote. When the prank is over, you can eliminate the impact by rubbing it."

"The wet wipes you mentioned should be used by Muggles, but we wizards don't use this kind of thing." Although he had never heard of wet wipes because wizards don't use this kind of thing, based on the composition of this word, Fred also guessed what this thing was.

"Mr. Granger, your thoughts are really great." George comforted him as he looked at the expression on Hugo's face. "I swear this is definitely not ironic, because you have given us some new ideas."

"It's true." Fred also said, "Maybe because our whole family is a wizard, our ideas are often restricted, and we want to solve any problems through magic whenever there is any problem. Although your proposal just now cannot be used in the magic world, it has opened up a new idea for us. We can use some non-magical means to solve the problems we encounter without having to stick to the use of magic."

Next, the two sides started chatting on this issue. Hugo and the others introduced many prank toys that ordinary people do not need magic toys, while the Weasley twins answered some questions about the magic world and magic raised by Hugo and the others.

From this chat, Hugo and the others found that the Weasley twins had a high level of direct magic operation. However, they had considerable flaws in theoretical study, especially in subjects similar to Potions. This tendency was very serious. However, this did not prevent Hugo and the others from learning the knowledge they lacked.

Through the exchanges between the two sides, ideas from the Muggle World and the Wizard World began to merge and collide. It was not until the sky dark that they found that everyone had been talking for the whole afternoon, and it was time to have supper.

"I'm really happy to meet you today." George said to Hugo on the way to the auditorium, "I hope we can have a chance to chat again in the future."
