HP has a villain system but has become a popular character
Chapter 202 Candy Store
The boy's eyebrows were clear and melancholy, and his words were somewhat intimate. These few simple words expressed to Sirius a secret that he didn't know, a secret that existed only between the two of them.
"Hello... Mr. Barty Crouch Jr." Wenxiu Lord looked a little embarrassed. He didn't know the other person's name yet, but when he saw the adult man standing next to the boy, his familiar appearance made him guess. "I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
The clerk who came out saw this scene and glanced back and forth between Sirius and Barty Crouch Jr. with a subtle look.
When he saw the man next to Barty Crouch Jr., his attitude was more enthusiastic than when facing Wenxiu Lord and the others.
"Mr. Crouch, would you like to eat?"
Barty Crouch was a hot candidate to become the next Minister of Magic, and although the newspapers described him as a stiff and decisive man, the clerk thought it was always right to put on a smiling face.
After all, in the wizarding world, job shortages are like a group of lice squeezing a hair follicle. It would be a blessing for a wizard with no background and ordinary abilities to find a job that can provide him with a living.
Otherwise, why are so many people forced to become dark wizards? Is there really anyone who thinks that all those people were born bad before they became dark wizards?
Barty Crouch, who was serious to the point of being meticulous, nodded to the clerk. His eyes fell on Vince Lord, and a rare smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
It's a pity that he has always been serious and rarely smiles even in front of his wife at home. Now he grinned, and it looked so weird.
"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Lord here." His eyes fell on Sirius again, and his words were still polite, but lacked some respect. "Mr. Black."
The two of them made eye contact and nodded, which was considered a greeting.
There was no further conversation, and Sirius and Barty Crouch did not ask on the spot when the two people around them knew each other.
As Vince Lord listened to Barty Crouch praising him for what he had done for the wizarding world in the past two years, he felt that the dessert he had just eaten not long ago had been almost consumed.
If possible, he would love to chat with Barty Crouch, but not now, and certainly not in front of Sirius and Barty Crouch Jr.
During the conversation between the two, Sirius kept his head down and played with Vince Lord's fingers casually, while Barty Crouch Jr. stood quietly beside the man, as well-behaved as a dummy.
Fortunately, the man has always been reserved. After telling Wenxiu Lord about his appreciation, he did not dwell on it any further.
Wenxiu Lord was no longer in the mood to sit here and digest his food, so he said goodbye to the Crouch father and son opposite him, and let Sirius hold his hand and lead them out of the restaurant.
The streets were filled with lonely and anxious people. In contrast to the depressing atmosphere, the sun in the sky was dazzling, and its warmth melted away the clouds that tried to cover it.
The sun was scorching hot, so Wenxiu Lord thought about finding another store to go shopping in and buy some things to bring back to his friends at Hogwarts.
"The sun is so bright. Shall we go to Honeydukes' candy shop first? Let's see if there are any new products."
Sirius grinned, his clasped hands changed to crossed index fingers, "Okay."
The two left without any hesitation. Sirius turned his head calmly, his warm grey eyes without any emotion. Through a thick layer of yellow-blue glass, his sight met that of Barty Crouch Jr. in the restaurant.
While waiting for the food to come, Barty Crouch looked at the excellent and always reassuring Barty Crouch Jr. sitting opposite him, and for the first time he felt that his son was out of control.
"Little Barty, when did you meet Wenxiu Lord?"
Barty Crouch Jr. put down the teacup in his hand, retracted his gaze from the window and looked at the man. "Last time, Mr. Wenxiu Lord almost fell down, and I helped him up."
"I see." Barty Crouch nodded in understanding and said a few cold words of hope for his son's success. After getting a response from his son, he drank the hot tea with satisfaction.
The next second after the man lowered his eyes, his obedient son's eyes revealed disgust and madness. He couldn't suppress his excitement and licked the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue, but then returned to normal before the man raised his eyes.
Honeydukes Candy Shop was doing much better business than other shops. When Sirius and Vince Lord walked in, there were still several parents bringing their children to choose candies.
The owner of the candy store was very familiar with Vinciu Lord's preferences, not only because Vinciu Lord bought a large quantity at one time, but also because of the little Hogwarts wizard.
Students in the third year and above can go to Hogsmeade village on Saturdays, which means that students who have learned to Apparate or carry Floo powder can come to Diagon Alley.
To be precise, I came to his shop.
Many of the students bought the same few flavors of candy and left immediately after purchasing.
The store manager accidentally overheard the students' conversation and realized that these candies were bought to feed Wenxiu Lord.
The boss looks chubby, with the sweet scent of candy on him, and his smiling expression is as sweet as the candies in his store.
He walked up to Wenxiu Lord and made up his mind to serve this important customer well and make sure he returned with a full load today.
"Gentlemen, are you ready to see the new products in the store? You can try them."
Wenxiu Lord picked up a few paper bags provided by the counter, filled them with a few of his favorite classic dishes, put them on the counter, and said to the store owner with a smile.
"Excuse me."
The boss waved his magic wand and several small jars floated out and gently landed on the glass cabinet in front of the two people.
From left to right, they introduced: "This is the new cranberry-flavored soft candy. We have added magic potion materials that can protect teeth to the filling. But you can rest assured that it will not affect the taste and flavor."
Although the boss assured that it would not affect the taste, Wenxiu Lord still decisively passed it. However, Sirius heard that this candy could protect teeth, so he bought some and planned to feed it to Wenxiu later.
After trying the following new products, Wenxiu Lord bought a lot of them, and the paper bags on the counter kept piling up.
Of course, he bought so much candy to share with his good friends. As for the fact that few of his friends liked to eat candy, Wenxiu Lord decisively ignored it.
If my friends can't finish it, I can still do it for them. What bad intentions could the kind-hearted Wenxiu Lord have?
When it came to introducing the last kind of candy, the boss did not introduce its flavor. Instead, he picked up the candy jar and handed it to the two people, motioning them to try it first.
A jar of lemon-yellow hard candy, with a translucent interior and a layer of icing sugar on the outside, looks like drops of snow that have solidified into amber in winter.
Wenxiu Lord picked up one cautiously and looked at it carefully from 360 degrees. Apart from the layer of icing on the outside, it was exactly the same as the lemon sherbet. Even the sweet and sour aroma was the same.
While he was still watching, Sirius had already picked one up and put it directly into his mouth.
Wenxiu Lord turned his head and looked at him inquiringly. Sirius smacked his lips a few more times and said, "Lemon Sherbet?"
The silver-haired boy turned to look at the boss again. The boss smiled but said nothing. The boy pouted, but finally put the candy in his hand into his mouth.
Pure acid exploded in the mouth, and the oral mucosa of the upper palate was destroyed almost the moment it came into contact with the acid. The masseter muscles were weakened by the acid, and a large amount of saliva was secreted, almost flowing out of the mouth that was numb from the acid, revealing an ugly expression.
The whole face was twisted into a ball in an instant, and the good-looking facial features were now separated from each other. It seemed as if every facial organ occupied a place and shrunk into a ball, never to be seen again.
Seeing his expression, the shop owner quickly brought paper and a cup of honey water and handed them to the boy.
After spitting out the candy in his mouth, the silver-haired boy drank two glasses of honey water in succession before he felt that his sense of taste that had been lost due to the sour taste had returned.
"This is the Snowman blind box launched by our store. There are lemon Snowman with different sweetness levels. I didn't expect that my husband would taste the sourest one on his first try."
The store manager didn't expect Wenxiu Lord to have such a big reaction. He added every sweetness in the jar to the blind box after tasting it and thinking it was edible.
"Are you feeling better sir?"
Wenxiu Lord kept swallowing his saliva, his lips were moist, and Sirius licked the candy in his mouth until it became much smaller in a short while.
"Much better. Here, give me a box."
Who would refuse the charm of opening a blind box? Wenxiu Lord thinks that at least Headmaster Dumbledore would not be able to refuse this blind box version of Lemon Sherbet. He would then mix in a few pure lemons.
Sirius stood by the counter and looked at the pile of candies, silently calculating whether his pocket money was enough.
