As the group continued their conversation, the engine pistons of the Express Train emitted a loud hissing sound, and the train started moving.

However, a strange silence fell over the compartment once again.

Albert's way of thinking was indeed peculiar, but one couldn't help but admit that his ideas were not wrong.

"Anyway, I definitely won't be working at the Ministry of Magic in the future," Albert broke the silence first.

"Percy, on the other hand, really wants to work at the Ministry of Magic," Fred muttered.

"What about you?" Albert looked at Lee Jordan.

"I probably... won't work at the Ministry of Magic either," Lee Jordan said uncertainly.

"We do have the idea of opening a joke shop," Fred and George replied seriously, looking at each other.

"That's a good idea. If you don't have money, you can come to me for some investment capital," Albert said after thinking for a moment.

At that moment, both the twins and Lee Jordan were stunned, looking at Albert in disbelief. What was even more bizarre was that none of them felt Albert was exaggerating.

"Don't look at me like that. Actually, making money is quite easy as long as you know the tricks," Albert said calmly.

"For example?" Fred was curious about Albert's so-called easy methods.

"The venom secreted by Acromantulas is a very valuable liquid, selling for 100 Galleons per pint on the black market," Albert reminded them.

"You mean..."

All three of them were astonished.

"There are a lot of Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest, and they have value in other parts as well. Hunting and selling one or two Acromantulas on the black market can bring in a large sum of Galleons."

When it came to Acromantulas, Fred and George both shuddered simultaneously.

However, they quickly remembered the scene from a few months ago when Albert defeated a large group of Acromantulas. In an instant, they felt that Albert's words were indeed correct. Yes, Acromantulas were truly bags of shiny gold coins.

"And the snow mushrooms we ate when it snowed, as long as we understand how to handle them, we can also earn a large sum of Galleons," Albert continued.

The three of them looked at each other and felt that Albert's words made a lot of sense.

"And there's this." Albert waved the protective bracelet in his hand. "Most wizards at the Ministry of Magic can't even cast a proper suit of armor charm. There will definitely be people who need this item. As long as I perfect it, it will become a popular Dark Magic defense tool. Selling it for ten Galleons should be no problem."

"Ten Galleons!"

Not only the twins but even Lee Jordan was stunned by Albert's words. The three of them were practically turning into Galleons with their eyes.

In fact, as long as they knew how to turn these things into money-making methods, it was quite easy to earn a large sum of money.

After all, Hogwarts was backed by the Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest was the most abundant natural resource in Britain.

No one thought Albert was bragging because they firmly believed that Albert truly had such abilities. This guy had a sharper mind than anyone else.

"There's one thing you might not know," Albert took off the malfunctioning protective bracelet. "If you use magical items, the Ministry of Magic cannot detect that you're using magic. Back then, I used the protective bracelet to block Haddock's Stunning Spell and confiscated his Gold Card."

The three of them stared in astonishment, not knowing what to say.

Albert briefly introduced the gameplay of the card game to the three of them.

"Think about it, there are many famous wizards in the Chocolate Frog cards. We can use them and add some well-known items, historical events, and spell effects to create the background of the cards and give them certain functions," Albert explained.

Albert started planning the Wizard Cards based on the concept of the card game and shared his ideas with the others.

"Yes, write this down, we can try to promote it," Albert said as he took out a new notebook and jotted down their thoughts.

"It sounds interesting," George nodded. "I think using this method is easier to remember the people and events than studying the History of Magic. At least, I won't mix up weird people like Uric the Oddball and Emeric the Evil anymore."

"When the time comes, remember to bring me along," Lee Jordan said confidently, patting his chest. "I feel like this game can be popular in different countries."

"I think you're exaggerating," Fred said skeptically.

"Don't you understand? Every country has its own famous wizards, history, achievements, and even some notorious wizards. By recording these people and their history on the cards and turning them into a game, it's more fun than Gobstones. Plus, we can learn about our history better through the cards instead of wasting a lot of time memorizing the darn History of Magic," Lee Jordan explained enthusiastically.

The more Lee Jordan talked, the more excited he became. "When the time comes, I'm definitely going to create my own card. Let's call it 'One of the Founders of Wizard Cards,' and the effect will be that players draw three extra cards."

"Why only three cards and not four?" Fred curiously asked.

"Because you two are twins!" Albert said. "So you both count as one card."

In that small compartment, the Wizard Cards, which would become popular in the wizarding world in the future, began to take shape.

Many years later, when Lee Jordan was interviewed by the Daily Prophet, he said, "At that time, we firmly believed that this card game would be loved by many wizards because we were not only playing a game, but also learning history and exercising our minds. And through this method, we wanted everyone to remember those wizards who had sacrificed and contributed to us, as well as the notorious dark wizards who had harmed us.

Wizard Cards were not just a game, but also a reflection of the history of the wizarding world.
