A Quill That Could Help with Homework Had Really Appeared
The Gryffindor common room was crowded with people.
The students gathered in small groups, chatting idly.
"Baron, you're here too?"
"What, you also received an invitation from Weasley?" Ian asked, somewhat surprised.
He received an invitation from George and Fred today to come to the Gryffindor common room, saying it was important. He just didn't expect so many people to be gathered there.
And it seems he also received an invitation from Weasley.
This puzzled him.
Baron shrugged and looked around at the people. "As far as I know, they should be the same as us."
"What exactly happened?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's some kind of prank, or like last time, they're trying to sell us something."
"Who would buy their stuff?" someone nearby shouted angrily, having overheard Baron and Ian's conversation. "Their maps were so expensive at first, but they're worthless in no time!"
Those around them overheard this and began to jeer.
"Yes!"
"That's right!"
It was then that they discovered that the people gathered in the Gryffindor common room were all first-year wizards who had bought maps from George and Fred.
Everyone joined in the commotion, Gryffindor common room became noisy for a moment.
Even the Fat Lady in the oil painting at the door impatiently covered her ears.
Amidst the fervor of the crowd, even the lights in the Gryffindor common room seemed to be infected by their enthusiasm, becoming even brighter and more intense.
Just as the young wizards were clamoring for an explanation from Weasley, George and Fred appeared on the stairs.
"Good evening, friends. Welcome to all of you. Thank you for your trust in us." The Weasley Twins gave a comical bow to everyone.
With the main characters appearing, the previously heated atmosphere found an outlet, and everyone instantly rushed towards them.
"You've finally arrived, Weasley!"
"Speak up, what are you planning to do now?"
"If you're trying to sell to us, I suggest you save your breath. I wouldn't even approach you, let alone buy anything from you, even if I were riding a ten-foot-long Broomstick!"
The young wizards in the lounge all stood up, making a noisy commotion, and surged towards George and Fred on the stairs like a flood.
The two of them stood on the stairs, looking down at the young wizards with an air of calm and composure.
"Reinforce your Hippogriff," Fred gestured to them to quiet them. "You're right, we do have something good to sell you today."
Baron scoffed, "Do you think we're idiots, Weasley? The last time you sold us a map, it was practically worthless in just two days!"
"Yes, that's right!" Ian chimed in. "Do you think we'd be foolish enough to let you fool us again?"
"Alright, I'm leaving now. I've already abandoned my homework."
"Damn it, I still have homework to do!"
Some people became agitated and immediately prepared to leave.
"Those who want to leave now, then leave." Fred shouted with all his might, his calm gaze slowly sweeping across everyone's eyes. "Unfortunately, you are destined to miss out on something good. I hope you won't regret it."
His voice drowned out the noise, bringing silence to the arena.
Everyone turned to look at him.
The clear light flowed, making him Winky.
"If you want to complete your homework easily, you definitely can't miss our upcoming quill pen."
George and Fred slowly walked down the stairs, holding onto the handrail. As they passed through the crowd, everyone automatically made way for them.
George took out a piece of Parchment and a quill and placed them on the table, then began his introduction.
"This is our latest product. The Spell-Checking Quill, just like its name suggests, can automatically check your spelling and improve your writing efficiency."
Fred took out his wand and tapped the quill. "If you know the Writing Charm, that would be even better; it can support you in using the Writing Charm to do your homework for a long time."
Let me demonstrate it for you.
"What should we write?" George asked, "The Hogwarts rules?"
"Please, who remembers those things?"
Fred shook his head and chuckled mischievously, "Just write your names."
Having said that, the quill jumped up on its own, waving its end merrily on the Parchment, and began to happily write down the names of the young wizards present.
"Baron Duke... Ian Gray..."
Without hesitation, the quill pen wrote down the names of the more than 20 young wizards present in one go, and then, without stopping, it began writing a second, a third, a fourth...
When I wrote it the first time, some people were dismissive.
Weasley is already in Third Year, so it's normal that he can use Writing Charm for a longer time.
Many people think this way.
But when the quill pen wrote the words a third, fourth, or even fifth time, everyone's gaze became strange.
Even though George and Fred were already Third Year students, it was still somewhat unbelievable that they could write so much content at once using Writing Charm.
Baron stared at the quill pen in astonishment, muttering to himself, "How is this possible?"
"Could it be that they had planned this all along?" Ian cautiously speculated.
"Why don't we try and see?" Baron looked at George and Fred. "Do you dare let me try?"
"Of course, friend, feel free to try."
Fred readily agreed, and George handed him the quill pen directly.
"I have books here!"
Someone next to Baron handed him a Potions textbook that was as thick as a brick.
Almost all young wizards dread writing their Potions papers, as the strict Professor Snape never shows mercy and will send them back for a rewrite if they do it carelessly.
Baron waved his wand and used a Writing Charm.
The quill pen, with a merrily dancing step, dipped in ink and hovered on the Parchment, ready to unleash its power.
Opening his Potions textbook, Baron began to write with his quill pen according to the instructions.
To his surprise, he discovered that once the quill was used to Writing Charm, it was almost perfectly in tune with his mind. Words he saw in his Potions textbook would immediately be written onto the Parchment.
Most importantly, you can write a lot of content very easily without having to concentrate much. This exhilarating feeling is like flying through the sky on Broomstick.
There is a sense of liberation and exhilaration, as if one has broken free from constraints and shackles.
Baron was so engrossed in it that he wrote over a thousand words in one go before stopping.
"How's it going, Baron?" Ian asked from beside him.
The young wizards around him were all watching him expectantly.
Actually, everyone already knew the answer before he even had a chance to reply.
Putting aside writing speed and spelling accuracy, the ability to write thousands of words in one go is already unbelievable.
They had all tried using Writing Charm to make the quill pen do their homework for them, hoping to save some energy.
Without exception, Writing Charm in writing actually consumes more energy than writing them by hand.
This made all the young wizards who had just learned to Writing Charm sigh with regret.
But now, that situation has changed.
A pen that can help people do their homework has actually appeared.
"How much does one of these quill pens cost?" someone in the crowd suddenly asked.
This question instantly broke everyone's silence, drawing all their attention to George and Fred.
... Divider Line...
This is to fill in the gap left by selling maps earlier and salvage our reputation.
