Harry Potter: Glory Bows to Me

From a distance, Tufan Clothing Store looks quite different from most shops in Diagon Alley.

Although it is the Christmas holiday, the Tuofan Clothing Store is not overly decorated. Unlike other stores, it is not filled with various Christmas decorations from inside to outside.

All they could see was a huge pure white Christmas tree in the window of Tufan Clothing Store.

Looking from the outside, you can see a line of golden words "Tofan Garment Store" hanging high under the eaves. The whole store is in pure white tones with a European retro style.

You can also see several mannequins with peculiar shapes in the store, each of them wearing a set of extremely luxurious and complicated clothing.

Most wizards seemed to automatically ignore the shop when they walked past it, and they walked away from the door without even glancing at it.

But the size of this store cannot be easily ignored - it occupies an area at least as large as several shops.

As soon as they stepped into the door of Tuofan Clothing Store, a lady dressed in gorgeous palace-style witch costume came over.

Apparently, she is a shop assistant here.

"Mr. Malfoy, please come in. You can take a look. These are the three new products that our store has added this month."

She said and handed Draco a thin little booklet.

Draco took it and glanced through it.

"No need for the first one, I don't like it very much - the color is a bit too flashy. Let's send the other two to Malfoy Manor first."

"Okay, Mr. Malfoy, as our distinguished VIP customer, you can enjoy a 20% discount permanently and new products will be delivered to your door first."

The clerk spoke in a formal manner.

"Okay, that's it." Draco said perfunctorily, "I'm not here to buy clothes for myself, I'm here to pick out some clothes that fit them."

He took a step back, pushing Amanta and Harry in front of him.

The female clerk turned around and smiled at them politely, "Are you two friends of Mr. Malfoy? What should I call you?"

"He is Harry Potter and I am Amanta Merlyn."

Amanta introduced briefly.

When she heard the word Harry Potter, the female clerk widened her eyes slightly and glanced at his forehead calmly. Then when she heard Merlin, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.

But her professional manners quickly curbed her surprise, and she quickly returned to her polite standard smile.

"Well, Mr. Potter and Miss Merlin, please - both of you follow me."

Amanta and Harry followed her as they walked past the extremely gorgeously dressed mannequins in the hall.

Harry gave Amanta a horrified look.

"I don't want to go out wearing this kind of clothes..." he whispered in Amanta's ear, "I will be laughed at to death."

"Cough." Amanta coughed slightly.

"I guess Draco... wouldn't want us to dress like this, either?"

The two men looked expectantly at the salesgirl walking in front of them, praying that she would not stop and suddenly point at a piece of clothing on a model, saying that it would suit them better.

But it was obvious that the female clerk had no such intention.

She led them through the hall to a large European-style staircase at the back of the hall and took them up to the second floor.

This place is different from the first floor, which only has a few mannequins in the wide hall, while the second floor is similar to other clothing stores, with several long hangers on both sides and the center of the room, hanging various sets or incomplete wizard costumes.

In addition, there are several rooms here, each room contains clothing of different styles and types.

Compared to the extremely luxurious clothes on the first floor - which looked like clothes taken from a noble princess, queen or earl, the clothes on the second floor were much simpler, more everyday and more low-key.

Amanta and Harry looked around with a little surprise.

They never imagined that there would be a store owner who would leave such a large space on the first floor unused and instead display a few flashy items.

The second floor, which is completely invisible from the outside, looks more like a clothing store.

The female clerk seemed to see through their confusion and she gave them a brief introduction.

"The first floor of our store is mainly used to display new products, as well as some out-of-print commemorative and limited edition products, while the second floor is where we provide services to our customers."

"In addition, our store only provides reservations for entry, and only accepts one group of customers with reservations at the same time. Customers only make purchases individually on the second floor. The store believes that this can provide more private services for customers."

...So that's it.

I didn't expect that clothing stores in the wizarding world would consider issues like privacy.

No wonder Draco likes this store so much. I guess in addition to liking the store's design and texture, he also likes the service.

After the clerk finished the introduction, he asked, "Do you have any special preferences? For example, color or style?"

"I like green and silver, but I'd rather wear something that looks good on me. If possible, could you please help me choose one?" Amanta replied.

Harry said: "I hope it's not too fancy, just something comfortable to wear."

After listening to their requests, the female clerk walked through rows of clothing racks, picked out clothes that met their requirements, handed them to them, and asked them to try them one by one.

Amanta and Harry's hands were almost numb from trying.

The prices in this store were also so high that Amanta was stunned.

Although she didn't know the prices of the clothes when she tried them on.

The clothes here are not like those in Muggle clothing stores, where each piece of clothing has a price tag hanging on it.

But as she walked past the fitting room, she happened to see a violet satin hat hanging on the wall. There were roses wrapped around it with ribbons, and the price tag below... was written in gold: 200 Galleons.

Draco was probably getting a little impatient, and after they tried on more than ten pieces of clothing, he came up from downstairs.

He looked at the clothes they had just tried on, commented on their pros and cons bluntly, and provided the clerk with some more detailed requirements.

Then, he instructed the clerk, "If they like them, send them to Malfoy Manor and put them on the account of Malfoy Manor as usual."

"By the way, remember to help them pick out another dress for the ball," he added.

Finally, Amanta picked out an ice blue dress dotted with diamonds and with gold chains on the shoulders. According to the clerk, the dress perfectly matched her hair and eye color, and the diamonds were inspired by winter snowflakes.

In addition, she also chose a silver long skirt, a dark green suit and a matching suspender skirt.

Harry chose a black tuxedo, with an emerald green satin shirt with leg-of-mutton sleeves underneath. When he wore it, a hint of emerald green appeared at the collar and cuffs, which the clerk said complemented his eye color.

There is also a chestnut-brown plaid suit and two loose sweaters that look quite lazy and comfortable.

Draco was pleased with this.

"Well, now I can finally throw away Harry's Muggle aunt's sweaters when I get home."

Harry had already begun to immerse himself in admiring his own beauty.

"Amanta, take a quick look at me. Do I look... a lot more handsome than before?"

When they had all chosen and measured their sizes, the clerk told them that they would customize the right stock and send it to Malfoy Manor within a week.

So they changed back into their own clothes and came out of Tufan Clothing Store, feeling a little reluctant to leave.

Amanta first went to the pharmacy to buy some potion materials for making beauty potions, as well as some scarce potion materials that were missing from her potion storage cabinet - in case of emergency.

Seeing that she bought a large quantity, the owner of the drugstore gave her a discount and told her that if she needed to buy in bulk in the future, he could provide her with a wholesale price or she could use Owl Order.

Then, Amanta bought some books of interest in Flourish and Blotts, while Harry and Draco bought two books about Quidditch.

Amanta and Harry also bought a new set of Hogwarts winter robes in Madam Malkin's robe shop nearby - the same set that was burned by Norma.

Draco had originally wanted to take them to Knockturn Alley. He claimed that Borgin and Burke's had many dark magic items that interested him, and he wanted to take them to broaden their horizons.

But after Harry's strong protest, he gave up.

As a last resort, they went to Weizeacre's Magical Supplies Store and Jishu Stationery Store together.

Amanta also bought an automatic stirring crucible and a folding crucible from Patchy Crucible Shop, as well as an automatic balance for more accurate weighing and measuring spoons of different sizes.

After wandering around Diagon Alley for half a day, Amanta only had two gold Galleons left.

But it can be said that I have returned with a full load.

In addition to the miscellaneous magic supplies and books she bought, the potion materials she purchased could make at least a few hundred doses of beauty potions.

When they returned to Malfoy Manor, they were told to get ready for etiquette and dancing lessons.

Because their tutor will start teaching this afternoon.

During the period before Christmas, the tutor filled every day with classes for them.

This made Harry complain bitterly.

"It's already holiday time, but we have way more classes than when we were at Hogwarts!"

Although Draco didn't have to take etiquette classes, he was busy presiding over all the affairs of the household during this period.

For example, he had to make a list of items that the house-elves needed to purchase, instruct them on how to arrange Christmas decorations, and even personally review every dish for the dinner.

In addition, the Malfoy family library certainly does not allow outsiders to enter, so Amanta can only ask Draco to ask Dobby to secretly borrow a few books every day for her to borrow during her break.

Fu of the Tomalfo Family Library.

Her knowledge of black magic went up several levels.

She had mastered a lot of theoretical knowledge of black magic, except that most of the spells had not been put into practice.

But there are also many books on dark magic that have sneaked in among the collections of the Malfoy family library. It can be seen that they have probably collected almost all the books on dark magic on the market.

For example, a book claims that one can curse anyone to death with just a spell.

If it had worked - Voldemort would have died a hundred times.

About three days later, another team of dragon trainers arrived at Malfoy Manor. They only stayed here for a short while.

Together with the team that Lucius had hired, they used a shrinking spell to shrink Norma to a size smaller than a pet cat, then locked her in a cage covered with various protective spells and escorted her to the forests of Romania.

Of course, in Romania, those dragon trainers also have their own sites.

Before Norma reaches adulthood, they will place it near the site for training to restore its hunting ability and independent survival ability.

……

The days passed one by one.

By the time Tofan's tailor-made dress arrived, she and Harry had already mastered most of the basic etiquette and learned two or three simple basic dance steps.

At the same time, they often saw more and more strangers visiting Malfoy Manor.

These people are well-dressed and polite, and when you pass them in the corridor, you usually just nod and say hello.

But Harry always gets special treatment.

After all, the scar on his forehead was too conspicuous - thanks to the tutor, he asked Harry to comb his hair back meticulously with hair oil every day.

Although Harry was reluctant at first, after all... he was under someone else's roof and had to bow his head.

So the tutor happily used various smoothing spells and smoothing potions on Harry's messy hair, successfully making his hair look as smooth as Draco's - just as shiny and sticking to his head.

Harry had given up on himself over this.

"I'm only eleven years old, but the way I dress now is as formal as a forty-year-old antique."

Amanta just comforted her: "It is precisely because you are still young that this kind of dress will not make you look too mature. When you are older, you may try to dress younger."

And this comfort unexpectedly had some effect.

After looking at himself in the mirror a few times, Harry actually said, "Actually... I suddenly feel like I look pretty handsome the way I am dressed now?"

"..."

Amanta watched as Harry's state gradually changed from submission to self-admiration.

Malfoy Manor is becoming more and more Christmassy every day.

When every corner of the huge mansion was filled with hanging ribbons of holly and mistletoe, and there were Christmas trees in every corridor and room, and red and green bows and golden bells were hung everywhere.

Only then did Amanta realize that Christmas Eve was about to arrive.
