Chapter 225: Twins

In the corridor, Fred and George sang in harmony, eyebrows raised as they looked at Sean.

"What do you need? Senior Fred."

Sean followed their lead and spoke slowly.

"I'm not Fred, I'm George."

The red-haired Wei Silai on the left said,

"Honestly, it's not your fault; it's hard for anyone to tell us apart."

"Understood, Senior Fred."

Sean said softly.

"Merlin—"

The red-haired Wei Silai on the left and the red-haired Wei Silai on the right exchanged a glance, then quickly surrounded Sean, circling him a few times.

"Who am I?"

The Wei Silai on the left crossed his arms and blinked.

"Senior Fred."

Sean said.

"Oh—!"

The red-haired senior seemed very excited.

"I won't charge you a single Jin Jialong! Just tell us how you distinguish us—"

"How about a trade?"

The red-haired Wei Silai on the right also crossed his arms, and both of them crouched down a bit—they were too tall as third-years—now looking directly into Sean's calm green eyes.

"You are always the first to speak, Senior Fred."

Sean explained.

"Even Mother doesn't know that!"

Fred exclaimed, but before two seconds had passed, he covered his mouth and made a "please" gesture.

George blinked:

"Even Mother doesn't know that!"

"How unexpected!"

Now it was Fred's turn to take over the conversation.

Both saw the cunning in each other's eyes.

"For this great contribution of yours—by the way, may I ask who you are?"

Fred was momentarily stuck, but he didn't care, looking at Sean eagerly.

"Sean Green."

Sean noticed the many strange objects they were carrying: quills, a biscuit, and a small cage containing a toad...

In fact, the method to distinguish the twins was simple; generally speaking, whenever the Wei Silai twins did something particularly mischievous, it seemed Fred was always the one leading the charge.

During Harry's second year, when the twins and Luo En rescued him from Privet Drive, it was Fred who piloted that flying Ford Anglia.

Even for small pranks, he was usually the mastermind.

For example, the one who "rescued" the salamander from the Care of Magical Creatures class—that was Fred. This way they could try feeding it some Filibuster fireworks;

It was also Fred who "accidentally" dropped a Ton-Tongue Toffee in front of Dudley;

Still Fred who proposed an idea (though it didn't succeed)—taking Aging Potion to put the twins' names into the Goblet of Fire, and he was the first of the twins to cross the age line to try it.

Even Fred was the one among the twins who talked back to Umbridge and led their final flight at Hogwarts.

"Great Green!"

Senior George's voice was full of inflection.

Sean was a bit bewildered; such things couldn't be said lightly—

The last person associated with "great" was the one who wanted to make wizards great again—Grindelwald, for the greater good;

The most recent one associated with "great" was Tang Mu, who wanted to make pure-bloods great again.

So, what was the commonality between them?

"Great Green!"

At this moment, George noticed Sean's slight change in expression and shouted as if playing a prank.

"Because of your outstanding contribution, Great Mr. Green, we have decided to tell you this great knowledge—"

Fred used a preaching tone, suddenly making the atmosphere formal.

Listening to his booming voice, then looking at the trembling tie around his neck.

"Duration Spell, Amplifying Charm..."

Sean tried to analyze it.

"I knew he must be a genius!"

George exclaimed,

"Quick, teach that to him!"

"So—Green, what do you think alchemy is?"

Fred took off his tie and asked seriously,

"Is it those magical, wonderful, vast characters that start from Ancient Runes... taught by Professor Babuling? —Oh, sorry, I forgot you're only in first year—"

"He's finished memorizing them, Fred."

"Alright, I know, George... or—"

Fred suddenly took out a biscuit and fed it to the toad; after a strange expansion and contraction, the toad actually turned into a canary.

"Canary Cream, our masterpiece!"

George seemed very proud.

"A few small spells, applied in small places, can produce unparalleled effects!

—Look at this too! I think you'll definitely be able to feel it!"

Fred handed Sean a quill; it was no different from an ordinary Quick-Quotes Quill, except that some kind of revealing magic had been applied, making the Runic characters within emit a faint luster.

Sean took it; it was his first time seeing how Runes functioned—merely some Levitation Charms and a weaker Legilimency...

And it formed the Quick-Quotes Quill that had been a bestseller in the Wizarding World for hundreds of years.

Sean could feel the magic flowing within the quill, feeling how each spell played its part, and how they combined in such a complex and mysterious way, continuously producing effects.

【You have observed an alchemical creation in its entirety; Alchemy branch unlocked】

【Unlock conditions: Skilled-level Potion title (not achieved), Skilled-level Spell title (achieved), Skilled-level Transfiguration title (achieved)】

"Merlin, I bet you felt it—if you could make a levitating quill on your own—"

Looking at the somewhat dazed Sean, Fred said with a smile.

"Just follow the method in our notes, it won't be hard—it only took us half a semester!"

George added.

"Then we'll introduce you to Professor Taila!"

Fred said loudly before leaving.

"She's a big shot, getting a meeting with her isn't easy!" ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
