Chapter 347 Magic Candy

An hour later, Albert, Fred, and George returned to the Leaky Cauldron after shopping, but Mrs. Weasley, Ron, and Percy hadn't returned yet. However, their books had already been delivered and were piled on the floor beside Herb and Mr. Weasley's table.

After seeing Albert come back, Herb couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and asked, "Have you bought everything?"

"If the books are all in place, I'll buy them all." Albert picked out a marked package from his pile and said, "This is a gift for everyone."

"Mrs. Weasley has bought all the books you want for you." Herb pointed to the package next to him and said, "Then I'll go back first, and you must pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, our place is safe." Mr. Weasley smiled and helped to move things.

Fred and George have always wanted to invite Albert to their house for a few days, saying that Albert helped them a lot. This time it finally worked.

"Mr. Anderson is different from the Muggles I have ever seen." Mr. Weasley said with emotion as he looked in the direction where the car disappeared.

Every time he discussed some electrical appliances in the Muggle world with other people, the other party would look at him like a madman.

It is rare for a Muggle like Herb to patiently explain the use of those electrical appliances to him, and the tone of the other party makes him feel very comfortable.

It is not difficult to see that Herb is very concerned about his son, and asked a lot about the magic world.

It is very important to communicate and understand each other.

"Well, he has a strong ability to accept certain things." Albert knew that Herb didn't have much patience, so he said casually, "After all, my son is a wizard."

After returning to the Leaky Cauldron, Mr. Weasley ordered a glass of butterbeer for each of the three, preparing to continue the conversation with Albert on the topic of Muggle electrical appliances.

However, the topic was quickly diverted by Albert, discussing the invasion of Gringotts.

"Everyone suspects that some very powerful dark wizard did it." Mr. Weasley said what he knew. "This is not good news. The goblins at Gringotts almost went crazy, and they still can't find it." clues to the intruder."

"The Daily Prophet said that the item was not lost, and it seems that it was taken away in advance." Albert said suddenly, "It should be a very valuable item."

"Don't know." Mr. Weasley didn't want to talk about this topic.

"Those goblins are actually stupid." Albert suddenly lowered his voice and said.

Mr. Weasley opened his mouth, but he heard Albert continue, "We can't find the culprit. In fact, we can ask the owner of the item. Maybe the other party knows who actually invaded Gringotts."

"Why?"

Mr. Weasley was also stunned, but Fred was the first to ask everyone's doubts.

"The goblins didn't reveal what's in the vault, so there must be not many people who know what that item is." Albert said in a low voice, "And the fact that the thieves are staring at it directly shows that the other party knows what's in the vault, otherwise Why didn't he steal other valuables, but stared directly at what was in the vault?"

"Well, it makes sense, the thief is certainly not ignorant." George echoed.

"Then, the wizard who put the things in Gringotts must not be ignorant of this matter? He obviously knew or had a premonition, otherwise it would be impossible to take the things away in advance." Albert continued to analyze, " There are not so many coincidences in the world."

Mr. Weasley also had to admit that what Albert said made sense.

However, this topic did not continue. Mrs. Weasley, carrying a bunch of packages, returned with Ron, followed by Percy with an owl.

They asked Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, to borrow the fireplace, and used Floo powder to return to the Burrow.

Albert was the first to get out of the fireplace. As soon as he moved away, there were hurried footsteps upstairs.

"Mom, did you buy me..."

A red-haired girl appeared at the stairway, staring at the stranger at home, stunned for a moment, and looked at Albert vigilantly.

However, she was soon relieved, because Fred and George came out of the fireplace one after another.

"Our sister Ginny." Fred introduced each other, "This is Albert, I told you, he will stay at our house for a few days."

"Hi Ginny." Albert greeted Ginny with a smile. This is a cute red-haired girl.

"Hello!" Ginny looked at Albert, and quickly ran to Mrs. Weasley who had just come out of the fireplace.

"The wizard's house is really incredible." Albert looked at the pot he was cleaning and said with a smile, "It's very magical... By the way, where is Charlie?"

"Charlie went to Romania to study dragons." George said rather helplessly, "We just sent him to King's Cross Station to take the train a few days ago."

"train?"

"King's Cross has trains to other countries," George explained.

"I thought wizards used portkeys or floo powder to travel."

"Most of the time, only wizards who are stowaways use portkeys." Mr. Weasley finally emerged from the fireplace, "You're staying in Charlie tonight."

"Albert is staying in our room, of course, and George is going to sleep in Charlie's room." Fred said immediately.

"Why didn't you go to sleep in Charlie's room." George complained.

"Come on, let me show you our bedroom." Fred ignored George's complaints, and said to Albert while holding his own package, "Last time, we have done some research on the thing you mentioned It worked."

"That thing?" Albert was stunned for a moment before he remembered what Fred was talking about.

Walking through the narrow aisle and stepping up the rickety stairs, George said regretfully, "Unfortunately, it's still only a half-finished product."

Fred and George's room is very messy, with a lot of things piled up in it.

"Originally, we planned to enchant the taffy, but later found that this method would not work. We can only work **** the potion, but it is not easy." Fred sat on the camp bed and put the taffy on the table. Fei Tang threw it to Albert and said, "This is a semi-finished product we made."

"It seems that you need a laboratory, you can try to use the traceless stretching spell. Also, no one will eat this thing, the smell of the medicine is too strong." Albert peeled off the shell and smelled the candy , frowning slightly, there is a smell of swelling agent in the toffee.

"Dad won't agree." George was very depressed, "It was because of this that he scolded us last time."

"Why?"

"The Ministry of Magic does not allow wizards to use that kind of spell at will," Fred explained.

"As long as you don't let the Ministry of Magic know." Albert picked up the book and began to read, "Are you going to try to improve the expansion potion?"

"Well, we tried the swelling agent, and that thing is really terrible. Last time Fred died, his tongue couldn't taste it for several days." George continued with an expression of looking back, "So, we again Tried bulking agents, but that made a toffee-heavy taste."

"The thing in your hand is the latest improvement. We are going to try it with the goblin downstairs." Fred said in a low voice, "Of course, we can't let mom know. Maybe you can help us improve it."

The twins looked at Albert expectantly.

"Test the effect of the candy first?" Albert blinked and said, "Where is the goblin you are talking about?"
