Snape and Ace walked out of Gringotts.

"You don't have to add me to your project, Ace."

"Without the potion you prepared, I wouldn't have been able to complete it." Ace smiled and looked at Snape, "You deserve this, Severus."

Snape pursed his lips and remained silent without answering.He didn't think that Ace couldn't complete this project without him. She sometimes had unique insights into potions, and he barely helped Ace with the alchemy part.

Ace didn't pay attention to Snape's silence and looked around to determine the direction.She blinked at Snape, grinned, showing her neat white teeth, and said, "Also, this is not the secret I said. So do you want to come with me to see the real secret?"

Snape was noncommittal, so Ace and him walked deeper into Diagon Alley.

The shop run by the Ministry of Magic for Ace is next to Ollivander's Wand Shop. It is a small shop.

A round copper medallion with a long chain hangs at the door of the store, polished until it shines like gold - this may be the brightest sign in Diagon Alley.The round plate is very simple, with only the two letters "es" engraved in big letters, and nothing else.

The store's facade is the same as other stores in Diagon Alley. It looks very old. The door frame is dark brown, but the glass inlaid on the door is very clean. You can see the bright interior through the glass.

Ace opened the door and led Snape inside.

Upon entering, the entire floor was paved with light yellow marble tiles, and a huge crystal lamp hung in the center.There are display cabinets made of mahogany on both sides and in the center. The frame is inlaid with a huge piece of translucent glass. Through it, you can see the various shapes of jewelry placed inside. The shelf in the corner has already been placed. I took the sex change (harmony) potion and transformation potion that Ace sent me not long ago.

There is also a small cubicle at the end, which looks like a workshop - serving customers who need to engrave letters and modify shapes.Next to the cubicle is a narrow staircase leading to the second floor.

There was a clerk sitting at the counter at the door. He was an old acquaintance and an Auror who was at the test site that day.

"Miss Foley?" Ryan Lake heard the doorbell, stopped what he was doing, and looked up at the door.

"Mr. Lake, did the Ministry of Magic arrange for you to come here?"

Ryan nodded, scratched his messy hair, and said with a hint of shyness in his voice, "Yes, I still prefer working here."

"This is really great. I heard from dad that you are the best at alchemy in the entire Ministry of Magic!" Ace had a big smile on his face and fully affirmed Mr. Lake, which made this unsociable person People are more shy.

Ryan smiled, glanced at Snape, and suggested, "Would you like me to introduce it to you?"

"No need, Mr. Lake. I forgot to introduce you. This is my partner, Severus Snape. We can just take a look at it ourselves. Can we go to the second floor?"

"Of course, the second floor is for you. Please feel free to do so, Miss Foley, Mr. Snape." Hearing that he didn't need to introduce himself, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, his voice became much lighter, and he sat back down. Start carving the brooch in your hand.

Snape looked around the rows of display cabinets, "The technique is very clever."

Ace took out a bracelet and looked at it. The small chain was densely engraved with spells.Handing it to Snape for viewing, Ace let out a soft sigh: "As expected of Mr. Lake."

Snape looked at Ace in confusion, and Ace explained to him: "Didn't you notice? In the trophy room at Hogwarts, there is a trophy that belongs to Ryan Lake. He is the fourth member of that class. The champion of the school's joint alchemy competition. I heard my father say that he was the best student of the alchemy professor, and he praised Mr. Lake for his potential to achieve the achievements of Nicolas Flamel."

"The greatest alchemist?"

Snape put the bracelet back into place. He had never been to the trophy room.Seeing the potion on the shelf in the corner, Snape walked over quickly, obviously he was more interested in this.

Picking up a bottle of transformation potion, Snape looked at its color against the light, then unscrewed the cap and took a gentle sniff.

"Apparently, the person who prepared this potion added the daisy root too early. I remember your recipe was very clear. He probably didn't bring his brains to work."

Snape made a harsh comment on the potion, screwing on the cap and replacing it as if it were an insult to him to hold it in his hand.

"You can't hold everyone to your standards, Severus." Ace picked up the bottle of potion and looked at it. "Not everyone is a potion genius. Well... although it is indeed not perfect."

The two of them continued to walk towards the workroom. The shelf opposite the door was filled with soaking potions. Half of the operating table next to it had some raw materials scattered around, and the carving knife was randomly inserted in it. The other half was filled with soaking potions. beakers stacked together on the workbench.

Seeing the messy environment, Snape frowned and walked in, trying hard to control his desire to "clean up" the place.He first walked towards the row of shelves that looked relatively neat and looked at them.

"Barely usable." It was still a harsh evaluation.

Ace followed and squeezed into the small cubicle - it was really not a big place, so it was a bit crowded after the two of them entered, and they could bump into each other even when they turned around.Ace poked his head from behind Snape and looked at the potions.

"Hmm...it does seem to be less effective than the one you prepared."

Feeling the breath coming from behind his ears, Snape moved forward nervously.But Ace quickly backed away and walked out of the cubicle, breathing a sigh of relief, and Snape followed him out.

Although the narrow stairs looked unstable, they were surprisingly stable to walk on.

The second floor, which looks like it is not often used, is divided into a small living room and a lounge.

The floor of the living room is covered with a fluffy wool carpet that fills the ground. Two single sofas are placed against the wall, next to an empty bookshelf, and between the corners formed by the sofas is a small round coffee table.

There is actually a fireplace opposite the coffee table. This may be the most obvious trace of use. It seems that Mr. Lake often uses Floo powder to get home from here.

Ace looked at the black carpet, took off his shoes and put them on the shoe rack at the entrance, walked in and sat on the ginger sofa.

"Wow, this sofa is so soft, Severus."

Snape sat on the other sofa and felt as if his whole body was sinking into it. "It seems that they are completely arranged according to your preferences?"

"Then they should know-" Ace stood up, pushed open the door to the lounge, and then stepped away so that Snape could see inside, "-Although I am a Hufflepuff, I am actually more Love the green color of Slytherin.”

Snape looked inside, and it was obvious that the Hufflepuff color scheme was yellow and black.

"It's not easy to detect your preferences, Miss Foley at Hogwarts. The boys at school are all asking about what you like, like a bunch of headless flies, 'buzzing' all day long. "

Ace burst out laughing and joked: "So all my admirers have asked where you are? Didn't Mr. Snape use your sharp words to make them retreat? This might help me save money." A lot of trouble.”

Snape ignored Ace's teasing. He only heard it from Avery and Mulciber's complaints. No one would ask him such boring questions.

"I'm going to Sluggigg's Pharmacy, how about you?" Snape stood up and walked towards the stairs, asking Ace by the way, and a low voice came into the lounge.

Ace walked out, his slender ankles very conspicuous against the black carpet. Because it was a little hot, Ace took off the robe that could completely cover himself.Snape then noticed that Ace was wearing a dark green dress today, the length of which reached just above his ankles.

"It seems that you are the only one who told the truth to Professor Slughorn. I just found an excuse to come here to take a look. But -" Ace replied as he also walked to the stairs and put on his leather shoes, "I Maybe there will be a new subject next semester, but I don’t have any ideas at the moment, so I’ll go to the pharmacy and check it out.”

"If it is to be handed over to the Ministry of Magic, I will help." Thinking of the [-]% of the profit he received, Snape immediately added.

"of course."

……

Slug$Jig Pharmacy and "es" are in the exact opposite direction of Diagon Alley, it is located at the entrance to Diagon Alley.

Ace and Snape walked through the crowds and walked into this century-old shop - this shop has existed since the existence of Diagon Alley, and it is only a little younger than Ollivander's Wand Shop.

At this time of Christmas, no one came to the dispensary except the Potions Master. When the two of them walked in, Mr. Slug was sitting behind the medicine cabinet, dozing off little by little.

The furnishings in the store are very old. Except for the medicinal materials, everything looks to be over 50 years old, which is completely consistent with the history of this store.The store smelled strange, like dead mice mixed with mint, rosemary, and absinthe.

The sound of the doorbell opening startled Mr. Slug. He stood up suddenly and looked at the source of the sound.

"Two little wizards? Oh...Mr. Miss, what do you want?" Mr. Slug asked with a yawn as he rubbed his eyes.

"Please bring me some loba's nozzle, fire-ash snake eggs, Swedish brachysaurus scales, and the venom of the curlwing devil..." Snape announced a long list of names.

Mr. Slug frowned as he heard the names of these materials and asked, "Little guy, what do you want these for? There aren't many."

"Then just give me what I have in the store." Snape was not surprised by this. He was well aware of the scarcity of the materials he wanted.

Mr. Slug waved his magic wand, and the medicine cabinet drawers on the wall automatically popped out, and the medicinal materials inside flew to the counter. At the same time, the packaging paper on the counter was automatically laid out one by one. When the medicinal materials fell on it, the packaging paper automatically folded up. , and soon turned into medicine bags.All Mr. Slug had to do was bring them all together, tie them with a rope, and hand them to Snape.

"Ten galleons."

The price was very reasonable. Snape took out ten round gold coins and handed them to Mr. Slug.

"What do you need, Miss?" Mr. Slug looked at Ace. The little wizard had been looking around with her gray-green eyes since entering the store, not knowing what to do.

"I think... I need some narcissus bulbs, daisy stamens, Poria Goddess, and the explosive liquid of the Poison Horned Beast..." Ace glanced at the names on the medicine cabinet and nodded his chin in thought, "Hmm... and some date kernels and oyster shells. , Seven Nights God...maybe that's enough, sir."

Mr. Slug looked back and forth between Ace and Snape with strange eyes for a while before continuing to wave his wand to pack the medicine for Ace.

"Three gold galleons." The medicinal materials Ace asked for were all common. Except for the explosive liquid, Fu Shen and Qiye Shen from China, which were slightly more expensive, the rest were very cheap.

After walking out of the pharmacy, Ace stuffed all the medicine into his bag, then looked at Snape, waiting for his next step.

"You want to prepare a calming potion?" Snape thought about the medicinal ingredients Ace bought. They all seemed to have a calming effect.

"Ah."

"The Ministry of Magic needs this useless thing? Obviously the refresher is more effective, why don't you improve it."

"I just want to do this myself. Rejuvenating potion has serious side effects, and it's not good to use too much. And it tastes terrible. If it were me, I would definitely improve its taste." Ace glanced at Snape and said to him Feeling dissatisfied with the "useless stuff" in your mouth.

Snape pursed his lips and said nothing.For a pragmatic person, taste, which has no use other than satisfying the appetite, is not within his scope of consideration.

"What are you going to do next?" Changing the topic, Snape looked at the sky. It was almost dark, and it gets dark very early in winter.

Ace also noticed that it was getting dark, so he suggested: "I have no other plans today except going to the store to check out. Why not go to the Leaky Cauldron for dinner?"

Snape nodded, he was also a little hungry, although the environment there was not very good, it could even be said to be bad.But when it comes to food, Snape has always had the lowest requirements - as long as it can fill his stomach, the natural dining environment doesn't matter.

Ace and Snape found a corner to sit down, trying not to attract attention. There was a lot of people in the Leaky Cauldron, and someone might have a bad idea for them.

After ordering something at random, the two of them finished it and left quickly.

Ace always felt that the man in the other corner wearing a shabby black robe and a pointed hat like a dirty rag was looking at her with ill intentions, so she quietly hinted at Snape, and the two of them Left this place quickly.

After returning to the second floor of ES, Ace felt that his disgusting gaze, like a maggot attached to the bone, had disappeared.

"Going back?" Snape looked at the floo powder on the small fireplace and asked.

Ace shook his head, with a hint of concern in his eyes, "I need to go home, Severus."

"Okay." Waving his hand, Snape grabbed a handful of Floo powder, sprinkled it into the fireplace, and walked in.With a low "Hogwarts", Snape disappeared into the green flames.

Ace sat down, buried himself in the ginger sofa, and sighed softly.

I don’t know what my parents are doing...
