Admiral of Hogwarts

"Professor Snape is our Potions professor, so it would be inappropriate to give him such an unpleasant 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 partiality, she still believed that a professor was a professor and some respect was always required.

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

"For example, the first class of the first grade last week was like that." Fred said a little indignantly. "A new student in our college named Neville Longbottom was injured in class because he was brewing a potion at the wrong time. The cauldron exploded, but Harry Potter, sitting behind another table, was unreasonably accused of failing to tell Longbottom not to add porcupine quills and was deducted points."

"This is indeed a bit too much." Veneto shook her head and said. As a ship girl, she has a strong military atmosphere, so she can't stand this kind of breaking the rules. "If this is the case, I think he has some problems with this aspect of teacher ethics."

As a tragic character in the original work, Snape does have something pitiable about him. But from the perspective of a professor alone, Snape was not very qualified at least in terms of teacher ethics. At least as a teacher, it is obviously undesirable to habitually discriminate against some students under certain influences.

After the explanations from the twins, Hermione also felt that Snape had gone too far in some places, but she still insisted that the professor should not be given such an unpleasant nickname. However, unlike Hermione in the original book, she seemed to have matured a lot in her behavior because of Hugo's existence, and she did not continue to refute the twins' views.

"By the way, what are you doing with these potions?" Veneto asked curiously as he looked at the potions on the table. "These should be some first-year potions. Are you trying to improve them?"

"It's improving." Speaking of their efforts, Fred and George raised their eyebrows at the same time and said, "It's just not the same as you imagined. We are trying to make some more interesting potions. "

"For example," Hermione asked curiously after watching Fred move the cauldron away from the fire. "I think your current improvement is quite impressive. You have replaced the scabies medicine that was originally used for external use with one for internal use, but I don't think it has much value."

Hermione's analysis was very objective. If the original external medicine is taken internally, not to mention the need to add a lot of additional medicine to the medicine and multiply the cost of this cheap medicine by two, the weird smell alone is enough to make people feel uncomfortable. Most people are grateful but not sensitive.

"But what we need is not just a medicine that can be taken orally to treat scabies." George explained, "Actually, we want to make a medicine that can make people's whole body covered with scabies after just one bite. The antidote that matches the potion.”

"This should be a prank toy you made. These ideas are quite creative." While Hermione was still wondering why she wanted to make such a completely meaningless potion, Hugo had already guessed Weasley asked what the twins were thinking.

It seems that the series of prank products they later developed and finally the opening of the Weasley Joke Shop were not just ideas they had in their senior year. It is possible that they had this idea on the first day of school. For example, the medicine they are thinking of now is very similar to a quick-acting truant drug in the future.

"Yes, that's it." George and Fred smiled at Hugo at the same time, and they were very happy that someone could guess their thoughts. "The prank toys on the market today are all too old, and most of them are things our parents and even our ancestors played with. We think this situation should be changed."

"A very good idea." Hugo's praise came from the bottom of his heart. At least he felt that young people of the age of the Weasley brothers could be considered very ambitious if they were determined to innovate in one aspect. And he suddenly discovered that this could be an entry point for him to make money.

Making money is very important to 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 cost 100 Galleons, so now Hugo can only do it. Drooling over those skills.

So considering the level of money the Weasley brothers would make in the future, he thought it would be a good idea to get involved in their business at this time. So he said: "Why do you have to make this medicine an oral form? It increases the complexity of brewing the medicine and the cost of manufacturing it for no reason."

"But if it's not taken orally, how can it be used as a prank?" George asked with some confusion. "You can't throw a bottle of stuff like this at someone's face, but if you do that, it's an attack. It's not a prank at all."

"You can use wet wipes dipped in medicine." Hugo thought for a while and said, "Some people will wipe their mouths with wet wipes after eating. Isn't this a prank successful? Then you can use another matching wet wipe. Dip it in the antidote and rub it in when the prank is over to remove the effect.”

"The wet wipes you are talking about are probably used by Muggles, but we wizards don't use such things." Although he has never heard of wet wipes because wizards don't use such things, according to this word Its composition, Fred also roughly guessed what this thing was.

"Mr. Granger, your idea is indeed great." George looked at the expression on Hugo's face and comforted him. "I swear this is not sarcastic, because you gave us some new ideas."

"That's true." Fred also said, "Maybe because our whole family is a wizard, many times our thoughts have been restricted, and whenever there is a problem, we want to solve it through magic. And what you just said Although the proposal cannot be used in the magical world, it opens up a new way of thinking for us. We can use some non-magical means to solve the problems we encounter, without being limited to the use of magic."

The two sides then had a lively chat about this issue. Hugo and the others introduced a lot of prank toys to the Weasley brothers that ordinary people did not need magic. The Weasley twins talked about some of the magic toys that Hugo and the others raised. Questions about the world and magic are answered one by one.

From this chat, Hugo and the others discovered that the Weasley twins were quite skilled in the direct operation of many magics. However, there are quite a few shortcomings in theoretical learning, especially in subjects similar to potions classes. This tendency is very serious. However, this does not prevent Hugo and the twins from learning the knowledge that they lack.

Through the exchanges between the two parties, ideas from the Muggle world and the wizarding world began to merge and collide. When it got dark, they realized that everyone had been chatting all afternoon and it was now time for dinner.

"It's really nice to meet you today." George said to Hugo on the way to the auditorium, "I hope we can have the opportunity to chat again in the future."

"Of course, I think so too," Hugo said. "I will go to Gryffindor to ask you for advice then."
