Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Sirius finally agreed to replace a wand.

He sighed and followed Mr. Olivender into the wand shop, rubbing his messy hair helplessly as if he were a newborn little wizard.

“He used to be like this, he looked very stubborn, but with reasonable advice, he would most likely take it...”

Looking behind Sirius, Lupin told Ivan, Harry and Hermione some embarrassing things about Sirius as a student, making everyone laugh haha.

In laughter, they came to 36 Diagonal Lane, a store belonging to the Blake family.

This is a three-story street shop, located on the other corner of the street, off the street from the Olivender Wand Shop, next to a magic material store, across a dark alley to the north of it, the Lala Owl Shop.

Harry's pet Hedwig, which Hagrid bought there and gave it to him.

In addition to the pet store, even this pharmacy is very famous on Diagonal Alley because of the inexpensive price and Ivan ordered a lot of pharmacological materials in the mail at their house.

The outer walls of the pharmacy are brown and black bricks with only a small window. There is a row of barrel thick on the ground, near the wall, a wide variety of can of powder, herbs, bundled feathers, fangs and claws hanging from the ceiling.

The merchandise inside looks fascinating, but because of the magic ingredients, the store smells like a mixture of stinky eggs and rotten vegetables.

Worse than that, 36 Diagonal Lane next to it.

Old bricks are indispensable and look extremely deserted and dilapidated. The two semi-circular windows are covered with thick dust and you can't even see the inside from the outside. Between the windows is a scarred black wooden door filled with worm eyes and traces of being scratched with sharp objects, with a decaying smell.

Ivan wiped the dust off the window and glanced inside with his feet raised.

Through a tent full of dense numbness foxes, he saw scattered furniture wreckages and everywhere garbage, hiding a brown spider the size of a tea tray in a gap in the corner at the top of the window, and the whole house looked like a haunted house.

“My impression is that this store has been idle for over a decade and has not been used.” Lupin explains, "many people wonder if there's a problem here, that's why they've been idle, I didn't expect it to be the property of the Blake family! ”

He pulled out his wand and knocked on the wooden door of the shop, shouting, and the door opened.

Almost as soon as the door is open, a lot of dust spills.

Everyone rushed to cover their noses and took several steps backwards.

An unexpected intruder was seen, in the shop, a frightened mouse rushed through the house and squeaked.

They walked in and left clear footprints on the squeaky floor.

The shop is decorated in the luxurious style of the Blake family, where all the worn furniture is made of precious peach and heartwood and teak.

Perhaps that's why the thieves are here.

Anything of marginal value in the store disappears or is destroyed, and wreckage of ornamental decorations and furniture is scattered.

Several windows were also smashed in the back and a cold breeze blew in. Without accidents, the thieves climbed in from there.

From the outside, the shop is bad enough; feel it up close inside, and you can feel the worst of it.

If you want to use it and open it externally, you need to buy almost everything new.

“It takes a lot of work to clean up this place!” Hermione wrinkled her nose and took out her wand and gently said to a carpet, "Clean it up! ”

Pink soap bubbles immediately appeared on the carpet, but it didn't work, there was too much dust, and the bright soap bubbles instantly turned black muddy.

Hermione waved the wand reluctantly and read the spell several more times.

“Don't waste your energy, Hermione, throw that rug away.” Ivan covered his forehead and said, "Furniture and office supplies can be bought, but you're right, this place does need a big sweep, it's a lot of work! ”

“This house has been vacant for many years, and it breeds and breeds a lot of things, so be careful when you clean it.” Lupin lay down in front of a locker and looked inside through the keyhole and said, "It looks like a bourgeois inside, it's best to let him out before cleaning this locker. ”

“It's crazy to clean up a deserted house for over a decade, and I don't want to spend the rest of my Christmas vacation here.” Harry came down from upstairs, breathing heavily, "and the shop was much bigger than it looked out there, with a lot of space upstairs and more garbage and stuff. ”

“Don't worry, Harry! I think three days should be enough, and we can get Dobby and Cliche to help, and the elves are very good at this.” Ivan also went upstairs to look around and nodded satisfied, "You can also ask the Weasley family to help clean up when you visit Ron later. I have an idea that the second and third floors are completely adequate for newspaper headquarters, and the first floor can be used for something else like selling Fred and George's joke products..."

“The two of them will be happy to start the Owl Mail Service in school from last semester!” The products they developed were very interesting and popular, "Harry said. ”

“It's also very dangerous and disgusting!” Hermione didn't think so, "look what they did last semester, actually making remotely controllable big shit eggs, making the whole corridor smelly, and those big shit are hard to clean. ”

“That's something Felch needs to worry about, and they haven't used it anywhere else in the school except in Slytherin's basement.” Ivan said in vain.

He didn't dare tell Hermione that the birth of the remotely piloted big shit was actually his suggestion. And the theory used, how to activate the big shit egg under the user's direction, was inspired by Hermione's contribution to the newspaper of a research article on transformative arts.

“There's plenty of room here to put a lot of counters, in addition to Fred and George's joke products, to sell other things that little wizards have studied on their behalf.” Seeing Hermione want to continue on the joke product, Ivan hastily said, "For example, the potion we made in the Pharmacy class, apart from taking out a little to score Snape, all the rest has been poured out, it's too wasteful, it can be sold here completely, and the price is much lower than the normal market price. ”

“That's a good idea, provided Snape agrees with us.” Harry interjected.

“He would agree that the potions were made by the students themselves, and he had no reason to refuse.” Ivan walked down to the ground floor of the shop and thought about future planning and design, "except for the magic potion, anything made by the little wizards can be sold here, so much for the good. This could be promoted through the Hogwarts Ministry of Magic and should be of great interest. ”
