Hermione walked angrily up to Fred and George, and Elwyn followed her with a wry smile.
The effect of these quick-acting truancy candies was much stronger than before. He wondered what they had put in them.
After all, he was the one who had provided the original formula. Fred and George had used it as a foundation to expand and develop many new varieties.
Seeing Hermione's face, Elwyn thought it best not to say anything or let her know about it.
"Enough!" Hermione said sternly. Fred and George both looked up in slight surprise.
"Yes, you are right!" said George, nodding his head. "This dose seems strong enough, doesn't it?"
"It should be reduced appropriately. We don't need to put people in a coma."
"I said that's enough. I already told you this morning that you're not allowed to test your garbage on other students!"
"It's not garbage," George said discontentedly.
"Besides, we paid them!" Fred said angrily.
"I don't care. It could be dangerous!"
"Nonsense," Fred said. "It's not dangerous at all."
"Calm down, Hermione. It'll be all right!" Lee Jordan said soothingly.
He walked up and down among the freshmen, stuffing purple candies into their open mouths.
"Yes, you see, they're all awake now," George said.
A few of the freshmen did begin to stir, shocked to see themselves lying on the floor or slumped in chairs.
It was certain that Fred and George had not told them what the candies were for.
"Feeling all right?" George asked kindly of a small, dark-haired girl lying at his feet.
"I... I think so," the girl said shakily.
"Wonderful," Fred said happily.
The next moment, however, Hermione snatched his clipboard and the packet of fainting sweets from him.
"It's not great at all!" Hermione said angrily.
"Of course it's wonderful. They're all alive, aren't they?" Fred said angrily.
"You can't do this. What if one of them gets seriously ill?"
"We won't let them get sick. We've already tested these candies on ourselves. Now, we just want to see if everyone has the same reaction …"
"Also, this is the formula that Elwyn gave us. If you don't believe me, you can ask him," George added.
Then, Elwyn saw Hermione turn her head and stare at him angrily.
Elwyn smiled awkwardly. Hermione glared at him and quickly turned her head away.
"I don't care who you got the formula from, and I don't care if you trash have any risks. I'm telling you right now, if you don't stop doing this, I'm going to …"
"Put us in confinement?" Fred said with a tone of "I'd like to see if you dare".
"Punish us to write sentences?" George said mockingly. Everyone laughed.
"Please, Elwyn, take care of her and take her away!"
Fred shouldn't have said that. Hearing this, Hermione's face suddenly turned red.
She straightened her body as much as possible and narrowed her eyes. Her fluffy hair seemed to crackle with electricity.
"I'm going to write to your mother!" She said, her voice trembling with anger. "Tell her everything you've done in school. Tell her that you've tested these dangerous things on freshmen."
"You won't." George said, turning pale with fright as he took a step back from her.
"Oh, I will. I'll write." Hermione said unequivocally, "I'll say it again. I can't stop you from eating these boring things, but you can't give them to the freshmen."
It seemed that Fred and George were completely frightened.
Obviously, in their eyes, Hermione's threat was a very insidious move.
They tried to ask Elwyn for help, but faced with an angry Hermione, Elwyn was also clearly unable to protect himself.
If George hadn't blurted out the formula he provided, and if Fred hadn't asked him to keep Hermione in check, he could still plead for them. But now, there was nothing he could do.
Finally, Hermione glared at them and stuffed Fred's writing board and the bag of candy into his arms.
Then, she pulled Elwyn and strode to the dormitory stairs.
"Well, I just found out who the culprit is!" Hermione said angrily.
"All I did was provide them with appropriate help and shorten their research time …"
Elwyn wanted to tell Hermione that even without his help, Fred and George could have developed these dangerous truancy candies.
"Appropriate help? You provided them with the formula, distribution channels, and a large amount of research funds. Without your help, they could not have developed to this step and come up with more than a hundred dangerous products. " Hermione said, "I was really stupid at the time. I actually agreed to let you use a part of the income from the 'Hogwarts Magic Newspaper' to fund their invention."
"Okay, Hermione, I promise I will never do this again!" Elwyn said hurriedly.
Fred and George were doing very well now. Even without his help, they could still develop quickly.
Just as they said, what they needed now was to leave Hogwarts as soon as possible and open a shop in Diagon Alley.
"Hmph, you must guarantee that they will not use these things on the freshmen again. If you want, you can use your own bodies to experiment," Hermione said, taking a step forward and sticking close to Elwyn. "If I find out again …"
Because they were very close, the atmosphere was a little tense. Hermione waved her little fist. From what she said, if she found out that Fred and George were doing dangerous research on other people again, she would push Elwyn down. Was this a punishment?
Or did Hermione have a trump card, and pushing Elwyn down was the most severe punishment …
Just then, Ron walked out of the bedroom.
"Are you guys done?" He saw that Fred, George, and Lee Jordan had disappeared, leaving only a bunch of freshmen lying on the sofa. He was obviously relieved. He did not dare to go against Fred and George.
"It's done. Thank you for your support, Ron," Hermione said sarcastically.
"You guys handled it well." Ron muttered in a low voice before returning to his normal voice. "Harry is not in the bedroom. I think he probably went to Umrich's office. Remember, she asked him to report at five o 'clock."
