time at hogwarts

"Can some of the prank toys we made be used as rewards for other nouns?" George asked in an uncertain tone when no one spoke.

Magos's eyes lit up after hearing his words. Yes, the twins' mischievous toys will be popular throughout Hogwarts in the next few years. Using those things as rewards is definitely the best choice.

"Great, I think this proposal is very good. Does anyone else have any suggestions?" Seeing them shaking their heads, Magos settled on this.

After discussion, they decided that the winner's reward would be a powerful life-saving card box. No. 2 to No. 5 would get two prank toys from the Weasley brothers, and No. 6 to No. 10 would get one prank toy.

"Originally, what I wanted to create was a free, casual, and relaxing game-like competition. But since we have invested so much, and now we have included the works of the Weasley brothers, I don't think everyone wants us to The efforts were only carried out a few times and then forgotten.”

"Then what do you think?" Everyone's expressions became solemn when talking about this issue that was close to inheritance.

“The idea is, since we have incentives, let’s make this game paid, how about you guys.

"Compensated? What kind of compensation method?"

"We can sell tickets to the games, and only those with tickets can play. To have a chance to win magic cards."

After hearing what he said, everyone looked a little hesitant and started discussing in a hurry.Magos said nothing and waited until their voices quietened down before speaking.

"I have some suggestions for the price you are talking about. I think whether the seventeen galleons mentioned by Malfoy or the one galleons mentioned by Roger and others are a bit too much. You must know that there are many more in the school. For students who need to be sponsored by the Hogwarts Board of Directors, our ideas and concepts should not be set only for the rich, but should try to allow most people to participate. However, we cannot lower the price infinitely in order to allow everyone to participate, like I think the Copper Nuts Harry mentioned and the Silver Sickle suggested by Cadwallader are a bit too low. You know, if the threshold is too low, it will make people feel that this activity is meaningless and has no meaning. Once people have this idea of ​​value, it’s only a matter of time before they give up.”

"What do you think is appropriate?" Cedric asked.

"Ten, ten Silver Sickles." Magos said loudly. "This is neither too high nor too low, no matter who can afford it, and we are a one-time fee. As long as you give it, you will be able to participate in this game until the end of this season. This is equivalent to ten silver coins." Sico can be worth half a semester. Another point is that most people from Muggle families, including me, are used to using ten as an integer, so this is my personal suggestion." They looked at each other and discussed A few words that I thought made sense were unanimously approved.

In fact, this was the result of Magos asking Ron privately. Magos had asked Ron since he thought of this. Since he has many brothers in his family, his life has always been relatively tight, and he still paid for his participation. Harry and Harry helped him advance the payment, although he insisted that he would pay it back when he had the money.He asked Ron what the maximum fee he could afford if he was allowed to participate in a game that required payment. At that time, Ron said one Galleung. Magos could see the reluctance on his face when he said that. This is the maximum amount he can afford.So he thought for a while, one Galleung was seventeen Silver Sickles, so he cut off the fraction and turned it into ten.Moreover, he also found it pleasing to the eye. Being used to the life of ordinary people, he still couldn't understand the ratio of money in the magic world.When Magos asked Ron if he thought ten Silver Sickles was a lot, Ron said it wasn't much. If there was an interesting game that only required ten Silver Sickles to participate in, he would definitely not have the slightest idea. hesitate.That's why he said ten silver sikos.

As a result, the rules become that those who want to participate in the King of Cards competition must spend ten silver coins as the entry fee.At the same time, they feel that everyone who participates should receive a commemorative badge, which can not only provide some comfort to those who did not enter the finals, but also serve as an attraction.McGoss fully agrees with this, and he also has another idea, that is, when he opens the Diagon Alley store in the future, he can also use this badge as a necessary condition for purchasing certain items. In the future, Weiss This could also be added when the Ly brothers open a prank toy store.However, a simple charm must be set on the badge to verify its authenticity to prevent anyone from imitating it.

"Then what will our badge look like?" The person who spoke this time was Anita, who rarely spoke.

Magos shook his head. This was not his strong point. He was responsible for coming up with ideas and planning for the future. Such details should be left to specialized people. He looked at the twins who were about to make a move.

"Leave this to the Weasley brothers. I think they are good at this. By the way, I propose that 60.00% of future competition fees be given to their brothers. What a prank.

The production and experimentation of play toys also require a lot of money. "

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

……

The twins were a little embarrassed to accept it, but they couldn't resist everyone's persuasion and agreed.

"The remaining 40.00% will be temporarily used to see what changes are needed in the future."

"Magos, we will show you the sketch of the badge in two days." Fred was full of confidence.

"Believe us, we won't let you down." George's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"Don't worry, just make it before the magic card is completed. The last thing is who will collect the fee." Everyone said they didn't care about his question, and since it was his suggestion, they let him collect it.McGoss firmly disagrees with this, and he also says that this should not be left to the people who are doing it.

"It's not just us who are responsible for collecting it, who else?" Osido's words spoke to everyone's thoughts.

"My thoughts for the time being are between the Weasley brothers and a person designated by me."

"Who?" Harry asked confused.

"Hermione."

"Hermione?" Ron looked at him in disbelief, "Are you kidding? Hermione will never agree." People who didn't know Hermione asked Ron who she was. After Harry and Ron ’s introduction, everyone expressed disapproval of her character.

"McGos should have his own ideas. This plan was organized by him. I don't think he would make such a stupid mistake." Kang, the only sixth-grade senior, spoke, and everyone slowly stopped talking and looked at each other. The focus was on McGoss.

Magos nodded to Kang to express his gratitude, and then smiled confidently in their eyes, "I know what everyone is worried about. First of all, I want to say that this is not only my plan, but also the hard work of everyone here. result, so don't worry that I will betray everyone. Neither I nor anyone else wants it to die." After hearing his words, all the members subconsciously nodded in agreement, "I proposed Hermione for a reason. First of all, I have never been a Hog. Watts has known Hermione before, and I know what kind of person she is. No matter whether she is willing to accept it or not, she will not betray us, and Harry and Ron can testify to this."

Harry and Ron both knew what Magos was referring to and nodded in agreement in the face of the others' probing eyes.

"The second point is that if she agrees, then she can definitely be fair and just. It's not that I don't believe you. I want to ask you, if it's just a few hundred or a few thousand Galleons, it doesn't matter. What if it's tens of thousands or tens of millions of Galleons? ." Ron and several other first-year students swallowed subconsciously when they heard this.Malfoy smiled and said how could it be possible.

"It's impossible now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future? If it really has this value, I don't think many people would be tempted. This is why I gave up."

"Then can you guarantee that the Hermione you propose will not be tempted?" Beard asked.

"I can't give you a definite answer now. Even if I say no, you will definitely think it's impossible. In this case, why not give it a try. You will know when the time comes."

Then everyone fell into another discussion. This time the discussion was no longer about Hermione, but what Magos said about profits.However, after their calculations, they found that this was almost impossible. The students of Hogwarts alone might not have the value he said for hundreds of years. As a result, everyone couldn't help but relax.Hearing this, Magos smiled secretly, why is everyone only focusing on the school? If it really becomes bigger, it will be more than just a Hogwarts, but he will not say this.

After the secret room discussion in the evening, everyone went back to their respective lounges. The opinions raised by Magos today had a huge impact on them. In the past, they only wanted to finish making the magic cards, then distribute them and start the game. , now after what he said, everyone is worried and confused about the upcoming game in addition to the expectations from the beginning.

"Don't worry, after we have discussed so much, we will definitely succeed." On the way back, he encouraged Harry Malfoy and others.

"Magos, is the profit you mentioned really possible?" The twins secretly asked Magos while no one else was paying attention.Somehow they always felt that what he said might come true, and they felt incredible that they would have such an idea.

Magos looked at the twins and thought that they were indeed the future business tycoons of Diagon Alley. This acumen was unmatched by others, but what he said was, "How is that possible? I just want them to agree." That’s all.”
