In the end, the twins held two thousand galleons and left with complicated expressions.
Good news, the money was borrowed. Bad news, they got caught and are about to face some punishment. But this was already commonplace for them. Never had the twins been caught by the administrator and forced to clean the bathroom and the like. It's just a chore for Madam Pomfrey, that's a joke.
But the most troublesome thing is something else.
"...You want to drop out of school?" Noah raised his head from behind the long pile of parchment, rubbed his eyebrows and looked at the person who came to see him again after a month, "If it is to open a joke shop, you can also open it after graduation. , don’t rush this year.”
The twins looked at each other, but actually didn't hesitate much, and even looked like they were ready to convince Noah.
"We have already obtained the L. integer, and we are not planning to join the Ministry of Magic or anything else, so... the certificate is not necessary for us, is it?"
What he said was reasonable and sincere.
"And having a fool like Percy in the house is enough, we don't need that certificate!"
Even though Percy is a Weasley who is not a Weasley... he is their brother! Percy will explode!
In fact it did explode.
"What did you two say?!" Percy's sharp voice came from Noah's hand, startling the twins.
This voice was so familiar that they instinctively took a step back and resisted: "Percy?"
Noah raised his hand and flicked the magic mirror on his side, hung up the magic mirror, put down the parchment in his hand, and assumed the posture of having a long conversation.
"In any case, graduation does not mean that you need to refer... You can talk about it if you have other arrangements." As the president of the student union, Noah could only try his best to persuade the two of them to give up the idea of dropping out of school halfway. "And there is only less than one year left. time."
However, the twins were currently focused on the contact between Noah and Percy. They looked at him in shock. Their eyes were more like seeing a traitor who was absolutely impossible to surrender to the enemy.
Noah: "..." This look is too rude.
What was even more rude was what the two said: "You actually played a magic mirror with Percy!"
"Percy Weasley just handed me the invitation letter on behalf of the Ministry of Magic." Noah really didn't know where the confidence they were pointing at him at this moment came from. "And, to me, Percy is better than you." Better to get along with.”
In other words, it's better to cheat. For example, just now, Percy also mentioned Anna while extending an olive branch to him, but this person obviously doesn't like Anna very much. It's hard to tell whether it's because of the discord between Slytherin and Gryffindor or because Anna is more mature than him. He is taller and faster. Anyway, from this point of view, Percy Weasley is a very suitable person to be used as a chess piece.
That is, of course, if Noah needs to use his words.
And saying that Percy is more useful than the twins is not unfounded. Noah has been deeply aware of this since he became a prefect. Compared to the twins who only get into trouble, Percy actually cleaned up all kinds of messes for the two of them when he was at school. This greatly eased the pressure and little hearts of the other prefects, who were usually the first to deal with the twins' pranks. The reaction was to inform Percy first. Therefore, when Percy graduated, some people really thought about whether they should find a way to keep him...
But the twins didn't know this, and their expressions were even more reprehensible: "You actually think we can't compare to Percy?!"
Noah reflected on his wording, then gave up and wisely chose to appease the two of them and tried to ignore this inexplicable topic: "No, at least Percy is far less interesting than you. Now back to the topic, Regarding your intention to drop out of school, I hope you will reconsider."
He dismissed the twins and returned to burying himself in the papers on his desk.
Why does the student body president have so much to see? Even the selection of Quidditch players must be reported for approval. Shouldn't the captain be responsible for this kind of thing? ! And this, what kind of magical clubs are you applying for this year? Why would someone apply for the "Apple Pie Eating Club"? The content of the activity really dares to say "for eating apple pie."
There are really all kinds of weird things. It's just unfortunate that Noah now has to deal with this weirdness.
…
At night, Noah quietly left the school and returned to his castle.
No one else visited this castle except him, and even the basilisk was not in the castle.
Keya, who was still in the molting stage, did not follow him. The castle seemed to be much quieter all of a sudden. Only the quiet alchemy doll followed him and went to the laboratory with him.
As the door was opened, the scene in the laboratory was revealed.
A three-meter-high glass container column stands in the wide secret room, surrounded by several rotating light green magic circles. There is a small "meat ball" floating in the green translucent liquid in the container. It already has the prototype of a human baby, curled up into a ball, floating in the liquid like a dead thing.
Noah waved slightly, and the layers of magic arrays stopped rotating and gradually sank and fit into the glass on the surface of the container, forming a pattern like lines. Noah walked around the glass column and waved again. The ball of flesh was pulled by invisible force and floated to the side of the glass near him, allowing Noah to look at it carefully.
It seems that the development is going smoothly, the vitality circuit is stable, the organ development is stable, and it seems that it will take shape at the scheduled time.
Noah raised a hand, and the magic arrays embedded in the glass reappeared. Noah checked these magic arrays one by one, modified and rewritten some magic arrays, and also added two small spells to promote fusion. This busy schedule lasted until two o'clock in the morning.
It's time for him to go back and rest.
Noah stretched, left the castle, and flew towards the school. Because Apparition is not allowed in the castle, Noah appeared in the Forbidden Forest with ease. However, the place where he appeared today was a little unlucky. Two Thestrals were strolling here. They were startled by Noah's sudden appearance. But he quickly leaned over and looked like he liked the smell of Noah.
Noah patted their heads and walked towards the castle.
Two thestrals followed him, chasing the hem of his clothes, ready to bite him, but Noah pushed his head away every time as if he had expected it. But they were not discouraged and continued to follow Noah until they found that Noah had stopped at some point.
Thestrals were a little confused. They clattered to both sides of Noah and glanced at him curiously before following his gaze to the front.
It was a strange wizard who was hiding in the jungle, wearing a black robe.
Some people died, but not completely...
