The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]
Chapter 191 The Joke Store
The author has something to say:
At least the author will love the twins and the professor well~
Since Diagon Alley was attacked by Death Eaters, all the shops are closed, including Ollivander's wand shop. It is said that he is the only wizard captured by Death Eaters. No one knows their purpose , and no one knows Ollivander's life or death.The Aurors stepped up their guard at Diagon Alley after this incident, but that didn't seem to change the minds of the shop owners, who would rather not do business than come back to die.
After that, Ma Linglong went to Diagon Alley again. She found the magic wand carefully hidden by Ollivander in his messy shop. It was Ma Linglong's personal belongings. Ollivander was very Carefully hide it in the middle of a pile of unremarkable cardboard boxes.
Although the wand hadn't been fully repaired, it had already worked, and Ma Linglong finally understood why it took two years for Ollivander to repair it.The Death Eaters took him away, and he couldn't continue to repair it during this period, which also shows that Ollivander can come back alive.
Diagon Alley has lost its former buzz, and now there is only one place that is still lively, that is a store that looks full of happiness, and there is a huge clown decoration at its door, the clown keeps taking off his hat and putting it back on again Above, the rabbit on the top of the head also disappears and appears from time to time following the rhythm. .
This is Fred and George's joke store. They opened smoothly the day after the Death Eaters ransacked. I don't know if it was because other stores were forced to close, or because the twins themselves are very business-minded. Tricky products are so popular that almost half of the cost was recovered on the first day of operation.
The joke shop has a lot of products, at least half of the gadgets are invented by the twins themselves, and of course there are also many imported products that Ma Linglong has never heard of. Obviously, they have prepared them a few years ago. These things are hidden from their parents, using the pocket money they usually earn.
Speaking of start-up funds, of course it has something to do with Stark. He has a huge legacy in the wizarding world, and he has always wanted to give it away.
But the twins don't intend to accept a free lunch. They have already put some of the gold coins they earned into a special box. The two hope to get Stark's start-up capital together as soon as possible and then return it.
"Hey, Professor Lillian, what do you think of the interior decoration of our store? Are you surprised?" The twins are like real store owners. They dress up maturely, cut their hair short, offer warm and thoughtful service, and know how to buy one get one free. "I'm sure you'll like it here, look at the whole cabinet of sugar balls and biscuits, if you want, you can take as much as you want."
The sugar balls are very beautiful, and the biscuits are also very delicious. Ma Linglong really doubts whether they have spent their entire study life on learning cooking skills from the house elves. Two big boys can make food so exquisitely. .
"Leave it to others." Ma Linglong said unmoved, "I don't want to eat it and squeeze the other half out of my nostrils."
But the twins were right, Ma Linglong liked it here, everything here was so fresh and interesting.
"Don't worry," said George, "not all of them come out of the nostrils."
"And out of the ass," Fred said.
The business of the joke store is booming, but the two of them don't have to worry about stealing or being too late to collect the money. They can chat comfortably with Ma Linglong without worrying about anything else.
There are heads of Hogwarts teachers on the walls of the store, of course not all of them, but those that the twins think are valuable or can add interest.
The portraits are like surveillance cameras watching every customer who enters the store. No one can escape the eyes of the Hogwarts teachers. Each portrait is accompanied by an introduction about the teacher.Of course, the use of the avatar was authorized by the teacher himself, and Dumbledore seemed extremely happy that his face could appear in the twins' shop.
Ma Linglong's avatar is naturally also on it, and it has the most variety, with different dynamics and expressions, combined with body movements, as if alive.
Ma Linglong noticed that Snape's Xiao thought was also on it, and Ma Linglong couldn't imagine how Fred and George got his authorization.
Regarding payment, customers (currently most of them are students) can walk up to any portrait and pick up the selected product and shake it. The price will soon be displayed directly in the middle of a groove under the frame, as long as enough The coin is dropped into the slit on the right side of the frame, and the deal is concluded.
Each painting can express emotions according to the purchase quantity of customers. If you buy enough quantity, Xiao Xiang of "Ma Linglong" will blow a tempting kiss. Most boys spend a lot of money for that kiss.
Of course, Snape won't give you any expressions, he will just coldly tell customers to go away.
This is Stark's idea for them, not a reference, the portrait strategy is Stark's own idea, his unconstrained mind is turning faster than the twins.
Ma Linglong didn't know where Stark got the time, but he was still in the mood to teach them business know-how.
I have to admit that this idea not only saves the twins energy, but also makes the atmosphere of the whole store unprecedentedly good.
Sirius picked up a telescope, and looking into his own eyes he asked, "What's the use of that?"
Before Fred and George could speak to stop him, Sirius got the answer, and he was punched lightly, and when he twisted the long tube of the telescope, a fist spewed out and left scars around his eyes. A dark purple mark was placed.
"The boxing telescope." The twins said at the same time, "As for the usage, I think you already know it, Professor Black, it doesn't matter, it will disappear soon."
Sirius was not angry, instead he laughed haha: "You guys are really geniuses." He said excitedly, "I never thought that I could turn the idea of a whole person into a prop and sell it."
"Give it to you as a souvenir. You can give this to the disobedient students in class." Fred said with a smirk on his face, "Especially the first graders."
"Yes, yes, just as I thought." Sirius said happily.
The twins mysteriously took Ma Linglong to another small room, which looked like a storage room. It was full of goods, very neat, and each area had clear labels.
"Please pass this gift to Miss Natasha for us." Fred said enthusiastically, "This is a feminine product that George and I specially designed for her."
"A lip balm." George opened the gift box, and he took out a small metal tube from the box. "It's not an ordinary lip balm."
"It can change color," said George. "It can change color at will according to Natasha's mood."
"A magical comb." Fred pointed to a pair of wooden teeth. "Just use this to scrape your hair lightly." He said to Ma Linglong, "Do you want to use it?"
"No." Ma Linglong refused.
"You should try it." George said, "If you combine it with this lipstick, it will have unexpected effects. You will like it. If you like it, we can also give you a copy."
When Ma Linglong came out of the storage room, her hair turned into a long and beautiful light blonde, Sirius was stunned, Ma Linglong looked like a different person: "Those two geniuses Are you still in the hairdressing business?"
"What do you think?" Ma Linglong asked, "This length, this color?"
"It's beautiful." Sirius said sincerely, "Anthony will be dazzled by you."
It doesn't matter whether Stark will be stunned or not. The important thing is that Natasha must really need the props prepared by the twins for her.There are not only lipsticks and combs in the gift box, but also many beautiful little things. They look like ordinary women's products, but their real uses are quite clever.
They can quickly help Natasha change her appearance in any environment, which is simply too useful for a female agent who has been stealthy all year round.
It can be seen that the twins have a lot of heart for Natasha.
However, when they met Fred and George that day, the twins hadn't noticed the change of Marinlon's ring. They were too excited to pay attention to that inconspicuous detail.It wasn't until Sirius accidentally mentioned before leaving that Ma Linglong was already Mrs. Stark that the two boys refused to let her go. They even wanted to take back the gift they gave her to vent Ma Linglong's anger. Long did not invite them to the wedding scene dissatisfied.
Time passed slowly, and Draco didn't seem to make any big moves, and the time Snape spent with him became tighter.
Harry came to Ma Linglong's office alone, his face no longer had the innocence of a child, but he had a bit more vigor.
"What's the matter?" Ma Linglong asked him.
Harry seldom talked to Ma Linglong alone, perhaps because she was not gentle enough. Although Harry and Ma Linglong were already very familiar, under normal circumstances, Harry preferred to chat with Sirius about his thoughts and thoughts.
"It's nothing." Harry said awkwardly, "I just heard that you and Mr. Stark had a secret wedding, and I'm here to congratulate you."
"What about you?" Ma Linglong said, "Have you confirmed your relationship with Hermione?"
"Hermione?" Harry shook his head quickly, "She and I are very good friends, but we have no plans to fall in love."
"Well, I often see the two of you together, I thought..." Ma Linglong paused, the boy standing in front of her was like a copy of James, the father and son were so similar, "You should , not just to congratulate me, right?"
"I just..." Harry rubbed the hem of his clothes, and Ma Linglong poured him a cup of steaming milk tea, "Thank you." He said, "I just want to know about my father."
"Why, didn't Black satisfy your curiosity?" Ma Linglong tried to make her tone as approachable as possible, "He should tell you everything he can tell you. He really 'loves' your father."
"I don't think he will speak ill of my father." Harry said, he took a sip of milk tea and immediately relaxed.
Ma Linglong said: "So you want to hear a different version from me, because I look like the kind of person who speaks ill of others?"
"It's not like that." Harry explained nervously, "Snape taught me Occlumency for a period of time last semester, and I saw some pictures from his memory that I couldn't understand."
"You mean, Snape taught you Occlumency, but you peeped into his mind?" Ma Linglong said with a smile, "I want to give you extra points, Harry, you know his Occlumency How powerful is it, I guess he must be so angry that he wants to strangle you."
Harry couldn't help laughing: "It's just luck."
"What did you see?" Ma Linglong asked.
"I saw my mother's childhood, if I'm not mistaken." Harry said uncertainly, "and Professor Snape's childhood, I think it should be him. He was with my mother, and they seemed very Get to know each other."
Ma Linglong was silent for a few seconds: "Yes." She said, "They used to have a good relationship."
Sirius probably wouldn't tell Harry the relationship history of his father's generation. His understanding of this aspect was blank, and most of his energy at that time was spent on observing Ma Linglong.So even if Harry mentions his confusion in front of his godfather, Sirius may be even more ignorant than him.
"Potter." Ma Linglong said, "everyone has a past, even Snape, but he doesn't want his past to be known, especially you. So, please don't tell others, including your dearest Important two friends, I don't want to see or hear anyone mocking him about this."
"I wouldn't," Harry said firmly, "but, it's so strange that they... I mean, my mother, and Snape, how did they know each other?"
