"What the hell are you two doing?!"
Percy knocked on Fred and George's door angrily. These two guys had been going too far lately. There were always explosions coming from the room, and they were becoming more and more frequent. He really had no idea what they were doing in there.
"Don't be angry, we're not playing tricks, we're just trying some new gadgets." Fred took out a piece of gum from his pocket and said vaguely, "Would you like some?"
"No."
Percy refused in disgust. He had not forgotten the lesson from last time, when he ate Fred and George's candy and was sad for several hours.
Those two bastards actually added heart worm syrup to the candy.
From that moment on, Percy told himself to be wary of any food that passed through the twins' hands, even if it was a piece of candy.
"What a shame, forget it!" Fred opened the package and threw the gum into his mouth, proving that it was just an ordinary piece of gum.
"I see Dad is back."
George had just withdrawn his head from the window when he heard Mr. Weasley's voice downstairs.
"Stop doing weird things in your room all day. Do you want to blow up our house?" Percy glared at the twins, turned around and walked downstairs to the kitchen, not noticing the regretful expressions on Fred and George's faces behind him.
"How's your invention going?"
Ginny opened the door just as the twins came downstairs, and she knew Fred and George were inventing some funny joke.
In fact, most of the family knew about it.
“It’s not going very well.”
"However, we have completed the preliminary improvement of fireworks, and the effect is great. We will show you our achievements another day if we have the chance." George grinned, "but the production is limited."
"Really?"
At this moment, screams and cheers suddenly broke out from downstairs.
After the three of them went downstairs, Ginny immediately asked, "What happened?"
"Children, our family has won the Daily Prophet's annual Galleon Award!" Mr. Weasley excitedly announced the good news to everyone.
"I won the prize! I won the jackpot!"
Fred and George each took Ron's wrists, who was frozen in place, and started tap dancing with him.
"Let me go." Ron was still in shock. He never thought that his family would get rich. That was the annual Galleon Award of the Daily Prophet. He never thought that it would fall on his family.
"Stop it!"
Mrs. Weasley scolded the twins who interrupted the noise and said to Mr. Weasley, "Perhaps, we can use the money to visit Bill in Egypt and take a summer trip there as a family."
"Dad, I need a new wand. The old one Charlie left me is broken." Ron took the opportunity to speak quickly.
"No problem." Mrs. Weasley raised her hand and poked Ron's chest and said, "But if you have to make up the exam next semester, don't blame me..."
"No, I promise." Ron said first.
"This is probably the surprise Albert mentioned!" The two looked at each other and said in unison, "He must have predicted all this."
"Surprise, what surprise?" Ginny asked.
"Albert's prediction, he said we'll have a surprise during the summer vacation." Fred said to Ginny, "I think that's what he was referring to."
"It sounds incredible." Ron muttered softly, "But I heard that the Divination Professor is just a liar. There has never been a student who knows Divination in the whole school."
"Professor Trelawney is a liar, what does it have to do with Albert?" George asked back, "Besides, knowing that Professor Trelawney is a liar, you still want to take her Divination class?"
Ron asked back: "Why did you all choose Divination class?"
"Maybe, we also have a talent for divination?" Fred certainly wouldn't say that he chose the divination class just to get by.
"Me too." Ron agreed, and then asked, "Do you think Albert can predict the winning numbers?"
"Damn it, he even uses divination?"
"That guy doesn't even need divination. You have no idea how lucky he is. I dare say that in next year's Quidditch World Cup, as long as he is willing, he can easily earn several times more Galleons than the Galleon jackpot by betting a little money." George showed a look of defeat in your face.
"I'm sure he will take this opportunity to make a fortune next year." Fred was sure that Albert would not miss such an opportunity to make money.
"Remember to take me with you when the time comes." Ron whispered.
"No gambling, it will give you bad habits, do you hear me?" Mrs. Weasley put her hands on her hips and glared at her sons in dissatisfaction.
“I heard it!”
"Haven't you eaten? Speak louder." Mrs. Weasley was very dissatisfied.
"Mom, we haven't eaten yet," Fred muttered.
"Don't talk back." Mrs. Weasley glared at her son.
Ginny couldn't help but chuckle and asked curiously, "Is Albert really that powerful?"
"It is said that he has never lost a bet. Now, no dealer in Hogwarts is willing to accept his bet." Percy was also a little moved. After all, no one would refuse the money that was sure to be won, not even him.
There's no way around it, Percy also has the common problem of the Weasley family: being poor.
Now, if there is anyone in their family who is not poor, it is probably Fred and George. They both always have Galleons in their pockets. I don’t know why Albert is willing to let them spend money to research those so-called joke props.
He is really not afraid of losing money.
Could it be that that thing is really profitable
No wonder Percy thought that. Who is Albert
The most talented wizard in Hogwarts' history, even if it was the wizard card competition organized by him, from Percy's point of view, this card game may be very popular in the future, at least it is already a very popular game in Hogwarts.
Moreover, given Albert's personality, he obviously would not be willing to give money to Fred and George to waste just because he has a good relationship with them.
There is no such person in the world.
"Everyone says that Albert is actually the descendant of a pure-blood wizard, but his family gave up their identity as wizards, so he showed such talent. Some people also say that Albert inherited a large amount of Galleons from Gringotts, so he is never short of money." Ron looked at Mr. Weasley and asked, "Dad, do you know the specific situation of Albert's family?"
"As far as I know, Albert often asks the house-elves to bring him midnight snacks." Fred opened his eyes and told the truth to fool others. "Well, he also has his own vault in Gringotts."
"real."
"Of course it's true."
"Don't listen to Fred's nonsense. Albert is a Muggle wizard. He said so himself." George rolled his eyes at Fred and explained, "The one who brought us the midnight snack was the house-elf from Hogwarts Castle. Albert has a good relationship with that house-elf and seems to be planning to poach that house-elf after graduation."
"Will Professor Dumbledore agree?" Ron felt incredible. Their mother had always wanted to have a house-elf to help with housework.
"He has a good relationship with Dumbledore and may succeed." Fred said
"I think the chances of success are great. He never does meaningless things." George was full of confidence in Albert.
"Dad, when are we going to Egypt for vacation?" Percy brought the topic back to the topic.
"We will have to contact the travel agency in about two days."
"Can I invite Harry to come with us? He must feel uncomfortable staying with his Muggle relatives." Ron suggested. He felt that even if Harry had to pay for it himself, he would definitely be happy to go with him.
"No." Mr. Weasley shook his head. "Professor Dumbledore thinks Harry needs to stay with his relatives for a while."
"What about Albert?"
"He's not available," Fred said without hesitation.
"How do you know?" Ron asked.
"Mom asked us to invite Albert to our house for a few days. He said he was going to France to visit an old friend," George explained.
"Old friend?" Ginny was surprised. "Does he have any friends in France?"
"It means exactly what it says." George reminded with a smile, "Everyone he knows is very old, so it's not strange to call him an old friend."
Ginny opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Albert does know a lot of people. It is said that there is a voice in the Ministry of Magic that plans to nominate Albert as a candidate member of the Wizengamot when he comes of age." Mr. Weasley suddenly remembered what happened recently.
"Candidate for the Wizengamot?" Percy asked, stunned. "Really?"
"Really? It is said that he knows a lot of Wizengamot members. When we were selecting candidate members a while ago, many people were talking about him." Mr. Weasley recalled the news he had heard. "Some people were even unhappy about it."
"Why?" Fred asked.
"Because Albert was born a Muggle, some stubborn old guys think that Muggle wizards are not qualified to join the Wizengamot. I remember that the last person who enjoyed such qualifications was Dumbledore." Mr. Weasley recalled, "However, there are rumors that if Albert graduates and joins the Ministry of Magic, he will only need one or twenty years to become the Minister of Magic."
"I would rather believe that Albert is not a Muggle wizard." Percy envied Albert's luck very much. It would be great if he could have such an opportunity. He wouldn't have to worry about his career in the Ministry of Magic.
"You should learn from him," Mrs. Weasley admonished the twins.
"We've been learning from him." Fred and George said in unison.
They knew that Albert disliked the Ministry of Magic and even looked down on it. Especially after Hagrid was inexplicably arrested and imprisoned in Azkaban last time, he did not hide his disgust.
