Honesty Detector

"Stop poking, you're almost going to poke someone else's eyes out."

In a certain dormitory, Li·Jordan was poking around with the gold rod he just bought from Zonko's Joke Shop.

The golden rod is called Honesty Detector, a very primitive Dark Magic Detector that can detect hidden Charms and magic items.

There are naturally not so many hidden Charms and magic items in ordinary dormitories, but with the genius Albert in their dormitory, Li Jordan really found a lot of hidden Charms, such as cabinets, books, and mirrors.

Anyway, Li·Jordan is now poking around with Honesty Detector with excitement on his face.

"Be careful when Albert comes back and beats you up." Fred, who was playing cards, couldn't help but warn.

"As long as you don't tell him, he will definitely not know." Li Jordan threw a piece of chicken-flavored Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans into his mouth, poked Albert's cabinet with a gold stick and said, "I know that many magic items made by Albert are placed in it."

"Don't try, it's magic. Alohomora can't open it."

"Where's the lock pick?"

"If you pry it, Albert will definitely beat you back."

"Li·Jordan can't pick locks." George was very depressed. He lost again. It seemed that he had never beaten Fred in poker. Albert always said that there was something wrong with his deck, but George didn't want to change the deck.

"Tell me, why did Albert buy this Silver Arrow?" After Fred packed up Wizard Card, he took out Silver Arrow from under Albert's bed and placed it on the table to observe carefully. Although it is an antique broom, the workmanship is indeed exquisite and not as rough as other antique brooms.

"I don't know, maybe... you want to collect this antique broom?" George said uncertainly.

"Look, there's Charms hidden on the broom too." Li Jordan said excitedly, holding the golden stick and poking at the broom.

"Don't play with that thing here." Fred glared at Li Jordan angrily, "I prefer to believe that Albert is going to study the structure of a broom and make a new broom for himself!"

The difficulty of manufacturing Flying Broom is actually not high. The real difficulty is how to make the Flying Broom process better.

"Help me pick the lock." Li Jordan poked George with a stick and asked, "The Gryffindor Treasure Map you found last time is also inside."

"Speaking of which, where are the others?" George pushed away Li·Jordan's stick and asked impatiently.

"I don't know." Fred shook his head.

Just after returning from Hogsmeade, Albert disappeared inexplicably.

"While he's not here..."

"I said, are you bothered? If you have time, go and get things done with Wizard Card Competition."

George walked to the counter and took out a bunch of cards from a box. Those were the Wizard Card that he and Fred were trying to make. However, compared with Albert's Wizard Card, there was still a gap.

Li·Jordan took the opportunity to move the golden rod downwards and poked it towards George who was rummaging for materials. Fred was a little stunned watching this scene, and seemed to be looking forward to what would happen next.

At this moment, in Room of Requirement, Albert is training Undetectable Extension Charm.

So far, he has been practicing for more than ten minutes, but Undetectable Extension Charm has never taken effect, and Undetectable Extension Charm does not appear on Skill Panel.

"It is indeed a profound magic, it feels really difficult." Albert murmured.

"Enlargement Charm!"

He concentrated hard and waved his wand again to cast a spell on the box.

However, Undetectable Extension Charm still had no effect, which made him a little depressed and felt that he had been cheated by the reward of Task Panel.

Why not take control directly yourself?

"What could be the problem?" Albert tried hard to recall the process of Professor Smith casting the spell.

My own Magical Power should be enough, and the spell and the gesture of waving the wand should be correct.

Although it cannot be ruled out that Professor Smith deliberately misled himself, this possibility should be unlikely! "But what exactly is the problem?"

Albert took a deep breath to suppress the annoyance rising in his heart. He temporarily gave up practicing Undetectable Extension Charm and flipped through the books he borrowed from Restricted Section. There was indeed a record of Undetectable Extension Charm's learning method in it.

Albert spent a lot of time and carefully read the part about Undetectable Extension Charm several times. When he closed the book, he had realized what was wrong with him, and his face suddenly darkened.

Undetectable Extension Charm is considered to be an advanced spell that is difficult to master. There is a reason. When using the spell, you need to repeatedly determine the capacity to be expanded. Similar to Apparition, you need to know the destination accurately, and Patronus Charm needs a happy memory.

However, Professor Smith never reminded Albert of this problem, so it is not surprising that the spell failed.

"The rewards for this mission are really bad!" Albert muttered.

He wasn't sure why Professor Smith only taught him spells and gestures, but didn't teach him the key points of casting spells. He didn't want him to learn it, so he said... forget it, he'll find out next time when he goes to see Professor Smith.

"Enlargement Charm!"

Albert picked up the wand and tried again. This time the spell finally took effect. He reached into the box and found that the space inside had indeed increased a little.

He looked through Panel Skill again, and sure enough he successfully found Undetectable Extension Charm's skills.

The difficulty of Undetectable Extension Charm is related to the expanded area.

Albert did not rush to upgrade, but began to think about how to use the fur of Swamp Snatcher to make a pair of Protective Gloves for himself. The fur of Swamp Snatcher purchased by Mundungus for him is not small. He can make gloves first and then the container of Mandrakes.

There is no tailor in his Skill Panel, and a first-level tailor probably can't make any good gloves. It's best to find someone to help. Albert remembers that there is a tailor shop in Diagon Alley. You can write a letter to the fat witch. If the other party is willing to help, that would be the best.

If the other party is unwilling, you can only find a way yourself.

Level 1 tailoring skills always feel a bit unreliable.

At lunch time, Albert appeared in the lobby on time. His three roommates had already arrived and were waving to him.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

When Albert walked over, he found that Li Jordan's eye sockets were a little swollen, as if he had been punched. Fred next to him was secretly laughing.

"He poked around with Honesty Detector, and the result was..." George shrugged helplessly.

"I was just joking, you were too cruel." Li·Jordan couldn't help but accuse.

"I didn't mean it, it was an instinctive reaction, a gut reaction."

"Why don't you go find Madam Pomfrey to help treat it." Albert sat next to him, took the pieces of bread and prepared a sandwich for himself.

However, Li·Jordan's face is a bit dark, and the dark circles under his eyes cannot be seen at all.

"Gone." Fred said, "Where did you go just now?"

"Charms is practicing at Seventh Floor!" Albert said casually.

"You shouldn't have... learned it already!" George looked at Albert in horror.

"How is it possible? It's just a bit of a clue, and it takes a lot of time to practice." Albert took a bite of Ham Sandwich, reached out and picked up Li·Jordan's golden rod and touched Protective Bracelet on his wrist, and found that this thing actually had some reaction.

"This thing is called Honesty Detector." Li Jordan introduced. "Able to detect hidden Charms and hidden magic items."

"The effect is very poor, this is probably a poor quality product." Albert took the gold rod away from the bracelet and found that the reaction on the gold rod disappeared immediately.

To be honest, Wizarding World's magic items feel very unreliable to Albert. Most wizards still need to rely on their own wands.

"After all, you can't expect anything from two Galleon things." Li Jordan muttered. He took the golden rod and poked Albert's body, and then... he found a fist enlarged in front of him. "That's enough for you!" Albert glanced at Lee Jordan.

"Then you don't have to beat me up!" Li·Jordan covered his eyes and couldn't help but protest.

"Who told you to be mean!"

Fred and George had to hold back their laughter. If Lee Jordan hadn't been dark enough, the two dark circles would have been great.

"By the way, in the future I will make a joke prop that can give others dark circles. Write it down. Write it down." George took out the parchment and quickly wrote down this good idea.

"Wow, when will you bring this thing with you?" Li Jordan looked at George in disbelief, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Humph, I learned this from Albert." George waved the parchment proudly and explained casually, "There are some interesting ideas recorded in it. We will implement these good ideas one by one in the future."

"With your ability, it's very difficult to succeed. If it's Albert, it should be easier." Li·Jordan couldn't help but make a few digs at George to express his dissatisfaction.

"We are still storing useful knowledge. In two years, we will definitely be able to start trying to make these things." Fred and George didn't care too much about Li·Jordan's sarcasm. They really don't have that ability yet, but in a few years, they will definitely be able to complete it. Record it now to save some inspiration for the future. Even if it is really not used, there is no loss.

"You can't make much money selling those things." Albert suddenly interrupted after eating the sandwich.

"Then what do you mean by value?" Fred asked.

"This thing."

Albert shook his wooden bracelet and explained softly, "Professor Smith once complained to me that most wizards nowadays are very poor at Defence Against the Dark Arts, and they can't even use Shield Charm well."

"You mean protective equipment?" George guessed it immediately,

"Except for wizards who perform dangerous jobs, few people will buy it, right?" Fred frowned.

"Recently, I got a very useful piece of news. In a few years, this thing will definitely be a big seller!" Albert said with a grin, "Defence Against the Dark Arts field is the real money tree."

"What news."

"The news is very shocking." Albert said mysteriously, "You definitely don't want to know or believe it."
