Chapter 125: Business

Arthur smiled and nodded at Luna. He thought it was interesting that they were together.

Ginny, aside from being shy in front of Harry, was a joyful and cheerful girl at other moments.

On the other hand, Luna was quiet and liked going on her own magical journeys by herself.

But their relationship was very good, and Arthur often saw them going to classes together.

They really were a strange pair.

"Tergeo"

Arthur raised his right hand and made a motion in the air. Instantly, their clothes looked clean, and their hair was free of dust.

"Thank you, Arthur," Ginny said with a cheerful smile.

Arthur teased her, "No problem, especially since you didn't look ready to meet Harry right now."

Ginny blushed and glared at Arthur before making a funny face and retorting, "I'm going to eat now, so take care of Luna."

After saying that, Ginny ran away on her two short legs.

Arthur looked at Luna and asked, "Aren't you going after her?"

Luna dreamily replied, "No need. I have plans to have afternoon tea with Ginny. She'll show up then."

The first-year classes were pretty relaxed, and there was always only half a day of lessons.

Arthur wasn't surprised.

"Luna, I really liked the Christmas gift you gave me," Arthur remembered the painting and smiled at Luna.

"I took it to school with me and put it on my desk in the room."

Luna's eyes sparkled slightly, showing her happiness with what Arthur had done.

After chatting for a while, Arthur left.

The Weasley twins had asked him to find them at noon, and he wondered what ridiculous ideas they had this time.

In the Great Hall, Arthur casually ate a few bites of food before heading to the Gryffindor table, where he found the twins.

"George, Fred, why did you call me here?"

The twins exchanged playful glances and then led Arthur to a classroom.

Fred took out a pair of glasses and handed them to Arthur.

"This is our latest invention. When you wear these glasses, the wearer will see the students blinking normally, and they won't realize that they're actually sleeping."

"However, we ran into some problems while making it."

The twins took turns explaining the problem to Arthur.

The idea for the glasses was good, but when a student fell asleep, they would often put their heads down or even rest them on the table, which made it easy for the professors to see.

Arthur liked how creative the twins were. They always knew how to take advantage of chances and develop these great ideas.

Playing with the glasses for a while, Arthur thought for a moment and said, "I think you did a great job with the way the glasses work. Have you thought about making a similar product?"

Fred's eyes lit up, "Arthur, don't keep us surprised. Just say it if you have an idea!"

Arthur shared his idea, "Since the glasses can solve the problem of sleeping or closing eyes during class, why don't we design a product that can fix the body posture?"

As he spoke, his ideas started flowing, and his enthusiasm grew.

"We can put a Petrification spell on a piece of clothing. When students find a comfortable way to sleep, they can turn on the spell, which sets their body in place."

"But we shouldn't use too much magic, or else they might not be able to undo the Petrification after class, and they'll need someone's help."

Fred and George grew more and more excited as they listened.

George gave Arthur a thumbs up and said, "Genius idea."

Fred nodded his head in agreement. He felt it was a good idea to invite Arthur to join them.

Arthur not only helped with money, but he was also good at making potions and alchemy and often had new ideas.

They talked about the details and ran into trouble with some of the spells.

Arthur came up with solutions, and the twins were excited to return to their dorm and keep developing.

...

A week later

Fred rushed over to Arthur with excitement. "Arthur, we did it!"

"What?"

Arthur was a bit confused and didn't understand what Fred and George were talking about.

At that moment, he was busy counting his collection of Chocolate Frog cards.

[Chocolate Frog Cards (also known as Famous Witches and Wizards Cards) were trading cards that displayed pictures of famous witches and wizards and gave small amounts of information about them.]

Fred said, "Clothes, Petrification spell!"

Arthur caught on and stood up with joy. "Let's go, show me."

Cho joined them because she was curious about what was going on.

They all went to the same classroom as last time. After entering, George handed Arthur vest-like clothes.

"We did what you told us to do and put an unfinished Petrification spell on it. It all allows for small movement once it is turned on. We also added an alert function so that teachers wouldn't have to call on students while they were using it. When their name is called, the vest will vibrate a little."

George explained while demonstrating.

He put on the vest and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses to show Arthur how it worked.

Indeed, when George sat in his place and looked over from the teacher's perspective, all they could see was George concentrating on his book, blinking and moving his fingers every now and then.

Only when Arthur walked to the side could he see that George's eyes were closed, clearly asleep.

Arthur called out, "George."

The spell was broken when George's body moved a few times. George naturally stood up.

"Well done, George." Arthur patted George's shoulder.

The twins' valuable skills and design talent impressed Arthur.

Even though they used simple magic and enchantments, those tough wizards could never be as creative as they were.

Arthur's praise made Fred and George happy, so they asked him to name the product.

Arthur looked at the vest that looked similar to an IQ tax product in his previous life and said with wickedness.

"Just call 'Backbone'"
