With everyone's persuasion, Sirius finally agreed to replace a wand(s).
He sighed and followed behind Mr. Ollivander into the wand(s) shop, while rubbing his messy hair weakly, like a young wizard(s) just grown up.
"He used to be like this before, and he looked very stubborn, but as long as it was reasonable advice, he would most likely adopt it ..."
Looking at the back of Sirius, Lupin told Ivan, Harry, and Hermione three people about the Sirius student era, which made everyone laugh.
In laughter, they came to Diagon Alley36, a shop belonging to the Black family.
This is a three-storey frontage shop, located at the other corner of the street, across the street from the Ollivander wand(s) shop, next to a potion material store, and passing through a dark alley to the north It is a babble owl shop.
The Harry's pet Hedwig was given to him by Hagrid after purchase there.
In addition to the pet store, even this potion store is very famous on Diagon Alley, because the price is cheap, Ivan has mailed a lot of potion materials in their home.
The exterior wall of potion store is brownish black brick, with only a narrow window. A row of buckets of sticky materials lay on the ground, and near the wall, a variety of pots of powder and herbs, bundles of feathers, fangs, and claws hung from the ceiling.
The products inside look fascinating, but because of the potion material, the store exudes an unpleasant smell, like a mixed smell of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables.
What ’s worse than this is the Diagon Alley36 next to it.
Old bricks are incomplete and look extremely desolate and worn. The two semi-circular windows were covered with thick dust, and the inside could not be seen from the outside. Between the windows is a scarred black wooden door, covered with insect eyes and traces of people scratching with sharp objects, exuding a rotten smell.
Ivan wiped the dust from the window and looked up inside on tiptoe.
Through a curtain covered with dense Doxy, he saw scattered furniture debris and **** everywhere, hiding a brown spider the size of a saucer in the gap in the upper corner of the window. The house looks like a haunted house.
"In my impression, this shop has been idle for more than ten years, and no one has been using it." Lupin explained, "Many people have guessed whether there is a problem here, so they have been idle for a while. It is the property of the Black family! "
He pulled out wand(s) and knocked on the wooden door of the shop, and with a snap, the door opened.
Almost immediately after opening the door, a lot of dust splashed.
Everyone hurriedly covered their noses and stepped back several times.
Seeing the accidental intruder, in the shop, a frightened mouse hurried past the house and made a squeak.
They walked in, leaving clear footprints on the crunchy floor.
The decoration of this shop continues the luxury style of the Black family. The dilapidated furniture is made of precious mahogany and teak.
Perhaps because of this, this is also the target of thieves.
Everything of little value in the shop disappears or is destroyed, and the remains of various gorgeous decorations and furniture are scattered on the ground.
Several windows in the back were also smashed by people, blowing in cold wind. No accident, the thieves crawled in from there.
From the outside, this shop is already bad enough; if you feel it up close, you can feel that it is extremely bad.
If you want to use it and do business with the outside world, buy almost everything.
"It takes a lot of effort to clean up this place!" Hermione wrinkled his nose and took out wand(s) and said gently to a carpet, "Scourgify!"
Pink soap bubbles immediately appeared on the carpet, but it was useless. There was too much dust. The bright soap bubbles instantly turned into black muddy objects.
Hermione waved wand(s) unwillingly and read the spell several times.
"Do n’t waste your time, Hermione, throw that rug." Ivan said, covering his forehead. "Furniture and office supplies can be bought new, but you ’re right, this place really needs a major cleaning , This workload is not small! "
"This house has been empty for many years, and there are many things breeding and breeding in it. You must be careful when cleaning." Lupin was lying in front of a cabinet and peering through the keyhole, said, "It looks like A Boggart, before cleaning this cabinet, it is best to let him out. "
"Cleaning a house that has been deserted for more than ten years is really crazy. I do n’t want to spend the rest of Christmas here." Harry walked downstairs and gasped, "This The store looks much more spacious than the outside, there is a lot of space on it, and there is more garbage than here. "
"Relax, Harry! I think three days should be enough. We can get help from Dobby and Kreacher. Domestic little elf / pixie(s) is very good at doing this kind of thing." Ivan also went upstairs and looked around again, nodded in satisfaction, When I visit Ron's in a while, I can also ask the entire Weasley family to help with cleaning. I have an idea that the second and third floors are fully used as the headquarters of the newspaper office. The first floor can be used to do other things, such as selling Fred and George's Jokes products ... "
"The two of them will be happy. Since the last semester, they have started the owl mail order service in the school!" Harry said, "The products they developed are very interesting and very popular."
"It is also very dangerous and disgusting!" Hermione disagreed, "Look at what they did last semester, and actually made a remote-controlled dungbomb(s), which made the whole corridor full of odors, and those big dung were very Difficult to be cleaned. "
"That's something Filch needs to worry about, except for Slytherin outside the basement, they haven't used that kind of thing anywhere else in the school." Ivan said humbly.
He did not dare to tell Hermione that the birth of remote control dungbomb(s) was actually his suggestion. The theory used, how to make dungbomb(s) activated to follow the user's command, was inspired by Hermione's contribution to the newspaper by writing an article about transfiguration.
"There is a lot of space here, and you can put a lot of counters. In addition to Fred and George's joke products, you can also sell other young wizards research things." Seeing Hermione wants to continue on the joke products, Ivan hurriedly said, "For example, our Potions refining's potion, apart from taking out a bit for Snape to score, all the rest is dumped, it is too wasteful, it can be sold here, the price is much lower than the normal market price. /
"This idea is good, provided that Snape can agree with us to do so." Harry interjected.
"He will agree that those potions were originally the students' own refining, and he has no reason to refuse." Ivan walked down to observe the store's first floor carefully while contemplating the future planning and design, "except potion, everything young wizards's own production can be sold here, more and more good. This matter can be publicized through 《Hogwarts Magic》, it should arouse the attention of many people. "(To be continued.)
