94 hp Diagon Alley

Mr. Levande returned to Diagon Alley with a warm welcome. The old man had recently received several orders, all of which were custom-made wands for children by respectable old pure-blood families.Gwen took advantage of the situation and started simple service work in the store.Unless Garrick is required to act in person when encountering a picky and destructive client like Harry, at other times, Gwen can already be regarded as a small shopkeeper who can act alone.

She had expected the Weasleys to take Ron to buy a half-price new wand during the summer vacation, but this kind-hearted family got Merlin's favor.

"Dear Gwen,

It's a pity we won't be able to correspond with you for the next month as our family is going to Egypt to see Bill.Dad got the Daily Prophet Galleon of the Year Award, more than we made last term.We'll send you pictures, bye.

Fred and George. "

Gwen cursed these two heartless things in her heart. Did the owl fly from Devon to London just to send them three simple sentences?Then she unfolded the newspaper she was holding and read the following: Arthur Weasley, Director of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department at the Ministry of Magic, had been awarded the Daily Prophet's annual Galeon Prize.A jubilant Mr. Weasley told the Daily Prophet: "We're going to spend the money on a summer trip to Egypt. Our oldest son Bill is in Egypt doing spell-breaking work for Gringotts Wizarding Bank." The Weasleys will be in Egypt for a month.Back before Hogwarts school starts.Five of the Weasley children currently attend school there.

Alright alright.There's nothing better than a Weasley family traveling together for free.It would be even better if the Ministry of Magic could pay them the final payment for last term as soon as possible.Gwen didn't have time to think about it. During the summer vacation, all the new students were eager to buy their first wand in their wizarding career. She was too busy to touch the ground, let alone write letters.

Fortunately, she didn't forget Harry's birthday. Since the Muggle car incident last year, Gwen always felt that Harry didn't have enough to eat at his uncle's house.So she borrowed four owls and carried a large bag of sweets and biscuits.Fred and George also said that the Muggles would lock him up from his homework.Gwen was not worried that Harry would not be able to keep up with the teaching progress of Hogwarts next year, but when she thought that someone would not do homework in the holidays, she was kind and not very happy, so she thoughtfully gave a master unlock key to Harry.

"Dear Harry,

Happy birthday!You should eat more, you started to grow taller at the end of last year, we are all worried that your meager fat can't support your growing bones.

In addition, there is a key under the gray owl's wings. I believe that most Muggle locks will not be difficult for it. I wish you success in completing your holiday homework.

PS I heard that Professor Snape has added 5 papers to you, if you can complete them before the start of term, then you really deserve to be the Boy Who Lived.

gwen. "

A week before school started, Gwen finally received a letter from the Weasley twins.She removed the envelope from the exhausted owl, which contained two photographs.

The first one was published in the "Daily Prophet". Nine members of the Weasley family stood in front of the pyramid, all waving to her vigorously.Mrs. Weasley is small and fat, Mr. Weasley is tall and bald, and their six sons and one daughter all have fiery red hair (although it is not visible in this black and white photo).Ron was standing in the center of the picture, tall and thin, with his pet mouse, Scabbers, on his shoulders, his arm around his sister Ginny.The twins, on the other hand, wore nondescript Egyptian striped robes and turbans that looked like pillowcases.

"Dear Gwen,

Since you expressed dissatisfaction with the length of the letter in the last letter, we will do our best to describe the trip to Egypt in this letter.

Egypt is awesome.Bill took us to all the pyramids, you have no idea how many spells the wizards of ancient Egypt cast on these pyramids.Mom won't let Bill go to the last pyramid.There were many odd-looking skeletons left behind by Muggles who had forced their way into the pyramid.They've grown a lot of extra heads.

Why does Hogwarts have to send a letter before we go on a trip?As you'd expect, Percy is head of the Boys' Council.He spent the entire trip talking about how to better manage Gryffindor students.Fred asked me to add, 'He's delusional about taking points off us both on vacation and keeping an eye on us.George and I had to top up his soup every day. '

Also, in Egypt we got great inspiration, if you remember the vixen eggs from last semester, Fred and I made something new out of them.Looking forward to seeing you in London, you can always try new Weasley Brothers products for free.

As for your concerns, Mom and Dad say they'll get Ron a new wand, and we'll go to Diagon Alley the week before school starts.

(Changed another typeface) Enclosed is our love for you.

George and Fred. "

Gwen glanced at the second photo, where Percy looked particularly pretentious.His neat hair was adorned with a Turkish cap on which he had proudly pinned the HB badge, and his horn-rimmed glasses gleamed in the Egyptian sun.The twins were holding him on the left and right, laughing carelessly.They changed Percy's Headboy badge into a "Humungousbighead", Percy didn't notice, and patted the two brothers to make them pay attention to the image.

And the little gift that comes with the letter is a beetle from Egypt, which has already survived the bumpy journey.Gwen gleefully offered it to the hungry stomping owl, and two seconds later the twins' love was in its belly.

Gwen had just served the poor messenger bird a tray of water when there was a knocking sound at Ollivander's window.

"Surprise—" Two funny twins wearing Egyptian turbans appeared at the door of the store.

Gwen hugged George and Fred happily, and then sent out a soul torture: "Since you are all in London, why are you still sending this letter?"

"Tsk tsk," Fred shook his finger, "the wand shop business makes you lose your precious sense of humor. How happy it is to get two handsome senior Gryffindors as soon as you receive the letter." matter."

"Who? Where is it?" Gwenzai scanned the store carefully, "Gryffindor's handsome senior? Wood isn't here."

Fred patted his brother's slumped shoulder and faked a cry: "Well, George. You're not even handsome this time. We should have let Miss Ollivander know that Wood is terrible."

George also pretended to cry for a while, and seeing that Gwen didn't respond to them, he said something serious. "Mum will bring Ron to buy a wand later, and then we will live in the Leaky Cauldron, I heard Harry is there too..."

"...he blew up his Muggle aunt into a balloon..."

"...if you're not busy, you can go to the bar and meet everyone."

"By the way," Fred inspected the empty envelope, "if you haven't received our gift of love..."

George took out a large golden carved mouse from his robe, "There is also a mouse mummy left by an ancient Egyptian wizard. I heard that the old wizard imprisoned the mouse's soul."

"As soon as we saw it, we decided to buy it and give it to you..."

"...in honor of all the great contributors who died for Miss Ollivander's experiments - the Hogwarts mice."

Thank you so much, Gwen's face froze with laughter.

A few minutes later, Mrs. Weasley and Ron appeared on a bench in Ollivander's wand shop.Mrs. Weasley gave Gwen a big hug again, thanking her for taking care of Ginny, and Gwen blushed again and said that she couldn't help much.But she had to admit that Molly made her feel the warm embrace of her mother for a long time.

Although Mrs. Weasley let out an emotional sob when he learned that Gwen had given him a [-]% off coupon for Christmas after Ron got his new fourteen-inch, willow, unicorn-hair wand, and then glared at Ron warningly. Well, I personally took back three Galleons.

After Mrs. Weasley went out, Gwen looked at the listless Ron, racking her brains to comfort him.The boy could go to Hogsmeade this year too, and three Galleons would be enough for him to spend a whole term weekend there.

"Ron, if it makes you feel better, I've researched a new spell—it might be a bit evil, maybe you'd like to try it with a new wand?" Gwen saw whether Mr. Ollivander was still making wands in the workshop Wanting to come out, he secretly pulled Ron to hide in a corner, "I think we can give Malfoy a little love education."

Ron immediately cheered up and waved his wand, proving with his strength that he couldn't wait to teach this kid a lesson.

"The next time you meet him, say this spell." Gwen handed a small note, "From now on, every time he says the word 'Mudblood', he will lose half of his eyebrows, maybe the left side, maybe It’s the right side, maybe half of each will be lost.”

A contented Gwen and an eager Ron are heading to Wonder Zoo together, and Gwen makes a point of taking her fat cat along, who gained another three pounds in one holiday.If it weren't for the fact that it could easily scratch through the boxes of dozens of wands, Gwen would have worried that it would be too fat to walk.

On the way, Ron also complained about the new textbook for this year's Protection of Magical Creatures class - the monster book, "That book is like a mad dog. When we said we wanted two copies, the clerk
