Chapter 408 The Person with the Highest Status in the Secret Society

Astoria instinctively wanted to stop George. Even in Slytherin, she had heard of the twins' "bad reputation": they were unlearned, idle, and keen on playing pranks.

The things they handed over were definitely very suspicious - if there was no problem, Astoria was willing to bet ten sisters that the candy Fred handed over was definitely problematic.

But Astoria thought about it and wondered who Les was. It was simply wishful thinking to use such a trick to trick him.

So she shut her mouth and stood aside silently to observe the development of the situation.

Fred quickly glanced at the two little witches standing aside and found that although Daphne seemed to have no interest in them, Astoria had been staring at them, obviously showing a strong interest in their prank candy.

This was a good sign.

If they could get the approval of the Greengrass sisters, their prank products could enter Slytherin College and open up this unprecedented blue ocean market.

Fred and George didn't like the students of Slytherin College very much, but they had no aversion to the gold galleons in the pockets of the students of Snake College - two piles of gold galleons, who could tell which pile was from the righteous Gryffindor and which pile was from the evil Slytherin?

Gold galleons are treated equally!

Rice unwrapped the toffee wrapper and threw the candy directly into his mouth.

"Well, not bad, the taste is very mellow-" Rice nodded repeatedly, and then his words suddenly stopped. His tongue began to grow rapidly, breaking through his lips in a few seconds and rushing out.

Astoria: ? ? ?

How could Rice fall for such a simple trick? Is there any deep meaning behind his doing this?

Astoria's brain began to work rapidly, exploring the true meaning behind Rice's behavior.

However, there was no true meaning, and Rice just swallowed the candy in question openly. He wanted to see what effect the candy cast by the twins had, and he even let that little magic work on his body.

Now he knew what effect the toffee Fred had given him.

The feeling of the tongue lengthening was quite interesting.

Les slightly mobilized his magic power to stop the growth of his tongue, making it only three times the usual size, just enough to extend beyond his lips.

Then he raised his hand and gently stroked the tip of his tongue, and his tongue became like a snake core, slender and forked at the end.

Fred's breath froze when he saw that Les's tongue suddenly stopped growing. Because according to the design, the fat tongue toffee will make the user's tongue grow almost infinitely. Even the Weasley twins don't know what the maximum length is - their own internal test results are three feet, but there is still room for further growth.

At this time, Les's tongue stopped growing after reaching one foot. Is there something wrong?

Just as Fred was about to lean over to solve the problem, Les's action made him freeze in place.

Daphne, who had just focused on breakfast, raised her head and was immediately attracted by Les's new look.

"Les, your tongue is exactly like a snake!" She exclaimed in surprise.

"Right." Rice also thought it was very interesting, and spit out the core like a snake. The candy that Fred and George made was really interesting.

Fred and George fell into silence together.

It was still the tricks of these Slytherins!

The two couldn't help but sigh.

"Fat Tongue Toffee can make the tongue infinitely extend - how did you do it, Les?" Fred introduced their new product to Les, and then couldn't help asking another question.

"It's just a simple little spell, nothing particularly profound."

Fred didn't believe a word of Les's words.

"Do you have any other good things?" After Les got tired of playing, he retracted his tongue. He wanted to see what surprises Fred and George could bring him.

"Of course, we still have a lot of [powerful goods]!" The two flipped through their trouser pockets and took out a lot of strange little gadgets from them, such as fake magic wands that would scream and turn into rubber animals when touched, chewing gum that could make people roar like a lion, and nougat that would make your nose bleed after eating it.

"If we hadn't been searched by our mother before we went out, we could have gotten more interesting toys for pranks." Fred and George lamented with some regret.

They had hoped to make a fortune by selling small commodities during the World Cup finals.

"How important it is to know how to use the traceless expansion spell." Les replied with a smile.

Mr. Arthur, who was not far away, immediately put down the matches in his hand and told the children very seriously that the use of the traceless expansion spell must be reported to the Ministry of Magic, otherwise it would be a violation.

"Yes!" Fred and George answered in a loud voice.

When Arthur continued to study how to make a fire with matches, they lowered their voices and winked at Les, saying: "But it is only illegal if you are caught, isn't it?"

Les nodded with a smile.

In his opinion, many laws are actually setting prices for some improper behaviors.

For example, a fine of one Galleon for trampling on the lawn means that as long as you are willing to pay one Galleon, you can walk around on the lawn.

But he would not say this out loud, otherwise Slytherin's reputation would be ruined again.

"How much, give me a price, I bought all these things." Les was very satisfied with Fred's prank products and planned to buy them back for Rowena and Helga to play with.

The two parties reached a deal very smoothly.

"You can consider more innovations, such as the lion's roar chewing gum. You can develop different animal sounds for different colleges, such as badgers, eagles, and snakes. You can also make some animal sounds, such as lynx and snow leopard. , Fire Dragon and the like.”

Fred and George nodded.

Although I failed to impress the Greengrass sisters today, it was good to get Les interested.

After making the deal, the two went back to their camp to help their father light the fire.

"It's an interesting gadget, isn't it?" Les casually threw the fake wand to Astoria, and then the fake wand turned into a moving snake in the girl's hand, which shocked her. .

Next it’s breakfast time.

While several people were dining, many important figures from the Ministry of Magic passed by from time to time. Almost everyone would come to Daphne and Astoria, chat with them for a few words, and then leave.

Ludo Bagman, the director of the Department of Magical Sports, also wanted Daphne and Astoria to join him in the bet, but under the gaze of Les, they both simply bet a Galleons on Ireland's victory. .

"Boy, do you have a team you want to support?" Bagman was a little disappointed when he saw that the Greengrass sisters were only willing to bet one galleung. After hastily registering their options, he turned his attention to Les, who had been making soy sauce beside him.

"Let me do some divination." Les thought and decided to try his divination skills.

"Oh?" Ludo became interested, but at this moment Fred and George came up and pulled him aside.

Rice knew that his tea divination skills were worrisome, so he divided the divination into several parts.

He first divined his luck today and found that his luck seemed to be pretty good, and he might be able to gain something unexpected during a crisis. Then he divined the status of the two teams and found that they were evenly matched.

Les thought for a while and probably had an idea in his mind. Just then he heard Fred's voice——

"Bet on Ireland - but Viktor Krum will catch the Snitch."

Interesting way to bet, very bold.

Bagman was also shocked by Fred's betting method. Before he could react, the boy named Les also came over and said that he decided to place the same bet as Fred and the others. But he only bet one gold galleon.

"Okay." Bagman shrugged his shoulders, feeling that since they were willing to burn money like this, he had no reason to stop them. He just verbally stated that he would give them a very high odds.

After Ludo wrote down the names of the three people on the parchment, the bet was completed.

Seeing Fred hand over the money he just earned plus all their savings to Bagman, Astoria couldn't help but ask after Bagman left: "This is all your savings, that's it. Is it really okay to bet on such a high-risk gamble?”

"How can you make more money if you don't take risks?" Fred made a very Gryffindor comment.

Astoria fought back the urge to roll her eyes. In her opinion, it was a waste of money.

Perhaps he guessed what the little witch was thinking, so Fred took the initiative to explain.

"We did this after careful consideration. Krum is a rare talent, and the probability of him catching the Golden Snitch is extremely high. However, the strength of the Bulgarian team is much worse than that of the Irish team. Excluding Krum, there is simply no chance of winning. , so we think the probability of the Irish team gaining an overwhelming advantage is also very high. The combination of the two means that Ireland will win, but Krum can catch the snitch.

Our probability of losing is not as high as it seems. On the contrary, I think I have at least a 50% chance of winning. "Fred spread his hands, indicating that although they are very courageous, they are not brainless fools.

Astoria:…

She wanted to refute, but she felt that what Fred said made sense, and she didn't know what to say.

As the afternoon wore on, excitement slowly gripped the entire camp. As night fell, everyone present stopped pretending. All kinds of magic traces sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the "Secret Law" was thrown out of the window.

On the way to the arena, apparated vendors descended from the sky every few steps, carrying trays and pushing carts, selling small commodities to tourists: there were glowing rose-shaped badges; there were small models of flying Firebolts; Miniature statues of players walking around in the palm of your hand...

The gold galleons of Les disappeared like water, they were exchanged for various small commodities. Daphne and Astoria were dumbfounded and couldn't help but buy a lot more things.

When they arrived outside the competition venue, the three people's small backpacks were filled with various gadgets.

"Come on, our seats are on the top floor. It's the best box." Daphne took out her tickets, pulled her sister and Les and walked quickly towards the upper floor.

Many big names also crowded into the top box, and Les watched with cold eyes: there were the British Minister of Magic Bones and the Bulgarian Minister of Magic, the Malfoy family, Henry was also there, and the more out of place ones were the Weasley family and Harry. . Their presence here is somewhat unexpected.

The game started soon.

…

Voldemort stood in the woods, looking coldly at half of the sky illuminated by the lights of the Quidditch Finals.

Aries stood behind him, bowing his head and remaining silent. Beside her, Taurus, who had disappeared during the resurrection ceremony, reappeared. His face was extremely pale, without a trace of blood.

According to what he said, he saw that the situation was not good that night and used Apparition to leave the cave. However, he was still seriously injured accidentally and it was not until a few days ago that he recovered.

Aries said verbally that she believed it, but in fact she felt a turmoil in her heart: she knew that Taurus was lying, because they had cast an anti-Apparition spell on the cave, making it impossible to teleport away.

But she really didn't dare to expose Taurus in front of Voldemort. Her intuition told her that there was a big problem with the Taurus in front of her, and Voldemort had ill intentions towards her. Every time he looked at her, there was undisguised greed in his eyes, just like a snake looking at a mouse, which made her very uncomfortable.

Taurus's suspicions were not just as simple as lying. He also disobeyed the organization's orders and allowed Voldemort to act alone for a period of time out of their sight. This is a very serious dereliction of duty. Once the organization learns, it is possible that he will lose his "Taurus" title.

All of this has raised Aries' vigilance to the highest level, making her life extremely painful these days.

But fortunately, all this is about to end, because the most senior person in the secret order is going to meet Voldemort tonight. He can take this opportunity to apply for transfer from here, and then report the problem to the organization.

At this moment, a voice sounded from behind the three of them——

"We finally meet, Mr. Voldemort."

The three people turned their heads in unison. There was no emotion in Taurus's eyes, while Voldemort's face was full of disbelief - he had not sensed the person's existence at all before he spoke. A look of hope appeared in Aries' eyes: This voice is that adult!

She turned her head and saw a tall man wearing a robe, with a hood and a cow bone mask covering his face.

Sure enough, Polaris, the highest-ranking and most mysterious figure in the Secret Order, arrived.
