Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry

Chapter 359 353. Dangerous Fat Tongue Toffee
Early the next morning, before Umbridge could show up, her own family members came to cause trouble.

A large notice was posted on the school bulletin board.

The title is very catchy – lots and lots of galleons!

At first glance, this title is borrowed from the Daily Prophet.

Not enough pocket money to cover your expenses?
Want to earn a little more gold?
Contact Fred and George Weasley in the Gryffindor Common Room for a simple, almost painless, extracurricular job.

There is no doubt that this is the work of Ron's two twin brothers, after all, they have put their names on it.

To be fair, Dudley doesn't mind students using their spare time to earn pocket money, especially students from relatively poor families who use part-time jobs to earn living expenses and reduce the burden on their families. This method is commendable.
However, Hogwarts has a subsidy system, and it is not low.

This was promulgated and implemented by Dudley after he joined the school board of directors. It is funded by the 'Poison and Antidote' publishing house to help young wizards from poor families complete their studies, so that the young wizards can devote themselves to the school without any scruples. In learning, everyone learns and is equal.

Of course it's not free.
Because these little wizards must join the 'Poison and Antidote' publishing house after graduation.
So in theory, all the young wizards at Hogwarts don't have to worry about tuition fees, so there is no such thing as working to earn living expenses.

"Arrange for the Gryffindor prefects to talk to them."

Dudley said and put forward his own suggestions: "We are not opposed to graduates starting their own businesses, but when it comes to recruiting employees, I still think we should try it externally. Every year, many graduates cannot find jobs, not only at Hogwarts, but also at Hogwarts. There are other schools where they can start and there are tons of staff there to recruit.”

"Instead of looking for your own juniors in school, you can't delay other people's studies for your own convenience."

How many young wizards do you expect to be able to resist the temptation of gold galleons?
Not everyone is like Harry. Gringotts gold coins fill several caves (Potter and Black families).

Who doesn’t want some pocket money to buy something they like?But once they taste the sweetness, do you expect those little wizards to restrain their desires?

Dudley's point of view was strongly supported by Hermione. She also believed that what the young wizard had to do now was to study, rather than go to work to earn pocket money. She didn't see that the people in their discipline group had a full schedule every day. Not enough time?
How do these people find time to spare at this age?How could they sleep?

The learning atmosphere that was finally created cannot be destroyed.

So this task was handed over to Ron, after all, he was his brother.

Ron sat aside with a sad face. Obviously this was not a good job. The two of them would not let him go just because he was their younger brother. On the contrary, there was a high probability that he would be teased several times. After all, these two were their brothers. They don't even respect their own brother Percy, how do you expect them to listen to his brother?
The fact was exactly as Ron expected.
When he took the prefect to find the twin brothers, he was denied immediately.

"Are you kidding, little Ronald? Do you know how much it costs to recruit a full-time wizard?"

Two red-haired little wizards who looked exactly the same said in unison: "We can't afford to recruit them."

"We are still in the startup stage," said the redhead on the left.

The redhead on the right continued: "It's just when you need money."

"so!"

The two said in unison.

"There's no way we can promise you that, little Ronnie."

"But although we can't promise you this, we can give you a good thing."

As they spoke, the two took out a few brightly colored candies from their pockets and gave one to each of the prefect and Ron. The packaging was of a type they had never seen before. "Try it quickly. This is a new type of candy purchased from Honeydukes. It is still in trial operation. We got it with great difficulty."

Ron did not doubt that he was there, so he decisively opened the package and put it in his mouth. When the prefect saw Ron doing this, he also opened it and put it in his mouth.

In the next second, their tongues began to swell at an incredible speed until the entire mouth could no longer accommodate it and quickly turned purple.

"Hahaha"

"It's so much fun."

When the little wizards around them saw this, they thought the expressions of the two were very funny and laughed.

Fred held out his hand.

"Little Ronnie, prank!"

George slapped his hand hard.

The two high-fived each other and then said in unison.

"Big success!"

The overly fat tongue filled the entire mouth and even the throat, and the direct effect was that it made it difficult to breathe. The poor prefect who followed him turned purple. He pressed his neck hard to try to slow down, but it didn't work. It didn't work, so he looked at the others for help.

However, everyone was just laughing, and no one cared whether he felt uncomfortable.

Only Ron acted very calmly, as if he had expected it. He calmly took out the wand from his pocket, first tapped it lightly on his tongue, and it quickly returned to its original size, and then he returned it to its original size. Restore the prefect's tongue in the same manner.

The twins laughed and stepped forward and asked, "How does it feel? Our fat tongue toffee?!"

Ron rubbed his somewhat uncomfortable neck. His tongue almost hit his throat just now: "The tongue has swelled at least ten times. It feels very bad. If no one relieves this state in time, it is easy to suffocate. It is a very bad thing." Dangerous stuff."

It's a pity that the two brothers only heard the first sentence and selectively ignored Ron's last few sentences.

Ron has long been used to this. He has been teased by his two older brothers since he was a child. For example, turning the doll you are holding into a giant spider, scaring you out of the shadows, etc. are commonplace. , and when they were very young, they also tried to induce themselves to make an 'unbreakable' curse, knowing that once the swearer violates this curse, he will die.

Fortunately, he was discovered and stopped by his father in time.

But just because they don't mind it doesn't mean that others will tolerate them.

"Brothers, I don't object to your pranks, but not everyone likes pranks. Remember? If everyone laughs, it's a joke. If you only laugh, it's not a joke."

However, the two brothers still turned a deaf ear to his advice and didn't take it seriously at all.

Even Ron was a little angry: "I just came here to tell you, you can ignore what I said, but I still want to say it."

"First courtesy, then soldiers. I am courtesy. If you ignore me, the next one to come will be soldiers."
