Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 253 How dare you open a store when you have nothing?

 The two men left in a hurry.

Fred blinked and suggested in a low voice: "How about we follow along and take a look?"

"I've never been to Knockturn Alley." George was also a little moved. "Mom never lets us go to places like that."

“Mum is right,” Percy said sternly. “You all stay here and you’re not allowed to go anywhere.”

George seemed to have just realized that he was here, and said in surprise: "Oh, Fred, we were taught a lesson by the prefect..."

 “Is he going to deduct our points...”

 “Because we were disobedient…”

“Ten points deducted from the Leaky Cauldron?”

 “Hey, shut up!” Percy said, blushing.

“Okay, prefect!” Fred responded with a smile, turned around and asked, “Kyle, do you want to go to Knockturn Alley?”

"I don't want to." Kyle shook his head, "But I suggest you go and take a look."

 “Why?” George didn’t expect Kyle to say that.

 “Because I brought a camera today.”

Kyle patted his pocket, "When Mrs. Weasley beats you up, I will definitely be able to take the best photos.

If you sell it to the Daily Prophet, maybe you can give Ginny a new robe. "

Hearing what Kyle said, Ginny, who had looked worried before, suddenly burst into laughter.

 She looked up at Fred and George, as if urging them to hurry up.

 “Oh, Ginny, we are your brothers!” George said dissatisfied.

Ginny curled her lips: "But I want new robes even more."

 “We’ll buy it for you!” Fred said angrily.

“New wands too, as long as you stay away from that **** Kyle.”

George glared at Kyle and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, why did we invite you to come to Diagon Alley with us?"

After a burst of laughter, everyone’s worries were relieved a lot.

Kyle also told them that the furnace door of the Floo Network is traceable. Even if Harry is not in Knockturn Alley, they can go to the Floo Network Management Bureau under the Department of Magical Transport to find his whereabouts.

Although this kind of record is generally not open to the public, if the person you are looking for is Harry Potter, I believe they will not refuse.

 After that, several people left the noisy Leaky Cauldron Bar and headed to Diagon Alley from the entrance to the backyard.

Fred and George fulfilled their promise and took Ginny to Madam Malkin's Robe Shop to buy her a new robe.

When they came out of the shop, they happened to see Ron taking Mrs. Weasley, Harry and Hagrid walking this way.

 Before coming to the robe shop, George sent Ron to guard the door of Gringotts with an ice cream.

It is opposite the entrance of Knockturn Alley. If someone comes out, you can see him immediately.

"You're right, Kyle." Mrs. Weasley shouted from a distance: "He is really in Knockturn Alley. When we passed by, he was being pestered by an old bastard."

"That's good...Potter, you're not hurt, are you?" Kyle asked looking at Harry.

"No." Harry shook his head, but his expression was still a little dazed.

 “Harry, Harry!”

Harry suddenly heard someone calling him. When he looked up, he saw Hermione standing at the door of Gringotts not far away. She ran over, her fluffy hair flying behind her.

"Why do you look so miserable...Hello, Kyle, Fred, George, and Percy, it's great to see you again...Are you going to Gringotts? Harry!"

"We'll go when Mr. Weasley gets here," Harry said.

 “That’s just the time we can be together.”

At this time, everyone discovered that Mr. Weasley had not returned with them.

 “Where’s dad?” Ginny asked.

Mrs. Weasley raised her head in confusion and looked around. It was obvious that she didn't know this question either.

 “Oh, sorry...Molly, kids.”

Fortunately, at this time, Mr. Weasley strode towards us. He wiped his shiny bald head and explained in a low voice: "I seemed to have seen Lucius Malfoy in Knockturn Alley just now, but he just blinked. Just disappeared.”

"Malfoy?" Harry, who was talking to Hermione, turned around and said, "Is it the Malfoy from Slytherin? I saw him and his father in Borgin's Bock shop."

“Yes, that’s him!” Mr. Weasley asked, “Did he go buy anything?”

 “No, he went to sell something.”

Mr. Weasley nodded seriously and satisfied, "Ha, I knew he was scared too..."

Just before he could say anything else, Mrs. Weasley took him away. "We've been delayed for a long time...Kyle, dear, are you going to Gringotts?"

Kyle shook his head.

 “We’re not going either,” Fred and George said at the same time.

“We will meet at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in an hour to buy textbooks for you, and you two... are not allowed to go to Knockturn Alley!”

Mrs. Weasley explained a few more words and took the others to Gringotts.

As soon as she left, Fred and George ran happily towards the Hopping Magic Joke Shop.

This is the joke shop in Diagon Alley, much bigger than Zuko in Hogsmeade.

Kyle did not follow them, but went to another store.

 “Mrs Prior’s Magical Botanical Garden.”

This is a store that sells medicinal herbs. Every time Kyle comes to Diagon Alley, he will go in and browse twice to see if there are any rare varieties.

The shop owner, Mrs. Prior, also recognized Kyle, the little wizard who often visited the store, and couldn't help but smile: "I want to buy something today. The cloak grass has been growing very well recently."

“There’s no need for cloak grass. I still have quite a few at home.” Kyle thought for a while and asked, “Do you have any armor pumpkins?”

"No." Mrs. Prior shook her head: "That thing is a rare thing, and there may not even be one in the entire British magical world."

“It’s in Professor Sprout’s greenhouse,” Kyle said in his mind.

He then continued to ask: "What about sphinx orchid... preferably the golden one."

"No."

 “Blood-activating grass…”

"No."

 “Mibu Mibao…”

"No!"

 …

“How dare you open a store when you don’t have anything?” Kyle muttered in a low voice.

 The veins in Mrs. Prior's forehead twitched.

What does this kid think of those rare plants... cabbages that can be bought casually?

If it weren't for the fact that Kyle spent a lot of money to buy an eight-leaf flower here, she would have kicked them out long ago.

 Mrs. Prior tried to keep smiling. "In addition to sphinx orchids...if you can wait, we can help you find other plants, but it may take a little longer, about a year.

 Furthermore, you need to pay a deposit of 200 Galleons first. "

 “One year? That’s too long.” Kyle shook his head.

 He just wanted to try his luck. It doesn't matter if he has the best one, and if he doesn't, there is no need to wait for a year.

In addition, although those plants are not cheap, two hundred galleons... is still a deposit. This premium is too high, and he will not spend such a waste of money.

Just when Kyle turned around and was about to go find Fred and George, he suddenly noticed a large water tank in the corner, with something that looked like an octopus tentacle in it.

 “Is that a gillyweed?”

"This kind of plant is quite unpopular. It is rarely sold even in potion shops."

"Yes." Mrs. Prior said casually: "I must have lost my mind to buy it from the Greek witch. Since the bubble head spell, British wizards no longer need this kind of thing. ."

"The Bubble Curse is indeed a great spell." Kyle said casually: "By the way, how many galleons did you spend on it?"

"Twenty..." Mrs. Prior said with some distress.

"Is it so expensive..." Kyle smacked his lips and said, "What a pity. I was originally curious about what it would be like to breathe in the water, but twenty galleons..."

　　After struggling for a moment, Kyle shook his head and walked out of the store.

 “Forget it, this kind of game is too luxurious.”

 “Wait a minute!”

Mrs. Prior suddenly stopped him, "For the sake of old customers, if you like it, I can give you a satisfactory discount."

 “This is not good...”

Kyle paused and returned to the store naturally.

 …
