After taking Twinkle out of the clothing store, Wang Xu looked at his watch. It was now around five o'clock in the afternoon.
I picked up my things two hours later, which was around 7pm. After picking up my clothes, I could still make it back to Hogwarts for dinner.
"Master, you are so kind to Twinkle. Twinkle will definitely work twice as hard." Walking out of the store, Twinkle folded her hands on her chest and was so moved that she almost cried.
Ever since she was little, no one has ever been so kind to her, and these two outfits worth thousands of galleons are unimaginable in the elf world.
Elves are a collective name for a group, and they are also contrasted with each other.
Shining can swear that she is definitely the luckiest one, because Aunt Cai Li, who likes to show off the most, the most secretly proud honor in her life is just an unwanted brooch given to her by her master.
And she will get such expensive and luxurious clothes.
That is an enchanted robe. Even the patriarchs of pure-blood families are reluctant to wear robes to go out on weekdays. They only wear them as a dress for parties.
"Okay, wipe away your tears. I don't need you to flatter me. I just hope that one day when you plan to betray, you can think of today's tears." Wang Xu glanced at her and took the lead in speaking ahead of time.
Upon hearing this, Shining quickly swore that he would always be loyal in an attempt to express his feelings.
Wang Xu just smiled at this. The strong wind knows the strength of the grass, and the rough and tumble knows the loyal and the traitor. Empty words cannot be counted.
Winky may be loyal now, but there's no telling how loyal she will be in the future.
When Zhao Kuangyin worked as a guard for the Lao Chai family in the Forbidden Palace, he certainly never thought that he would launch the Chenqiao mutiny, let alone sit on the dragon throne.
People are changing. Wang Xu can only ensure that he is kind and powerful. If it is going to rain and his mother is getting married, there is nothing he can do. He can't stop eating because of choking.
With a twinge of fear, Wang Xu did not go back to Hogwarts, but went to the Three Broomsticks Bar.
He heard that Professor Slughorn liked to come here when he had nothing to do, so he could ask him about the lucky water.
Ring ring ring
Pushing open the door, there was a crisp sound of copper bells.
Wang Xu looked inside and saw that the Three Broomsticks bar was not large in scale, but its business was very prosperous.
Some wizards living in Hogsmeade like to come over for a drink when they have nothing to do, and some third-year students and above can also hang out when they are not in class, and have a glass of butterbeer when they are tired, that's all.
The greatest enjoyment for people.
"I have an old friend who lives on Clarkby Snow Mountain. He has a magic sleigh pulled by two reindeer. Every Christmas, he likes to dress up as Santa Claus and go to deliver gifts to the children down the mountain.
He also gives gifts and performs some magic tricks. The children really like him."
Looking inside the bar, Wang Xu quickly found Slughorn sitting in front of the bar, chatting and laughing with others.
"Professor Slughorn, I didn't expect you to be here!" Wang Xu took the initiative to walk up with a smile on his face, as if he had met by accident.
Slughorn looked back and realized that the visitor was Wang Xu. He raised his glass enthusiastically and said, "Professor Wang, do you want to have a drink? I'm treating you today. You can drink butter beer as you like!"
"That's great." Wang Xu pulled up a chair and sat next to Slughorn, asking the bartender for a cup of butterbeer.
Although butterbeer has the word beer, it is not beer and does not contain alcohol, but a creamy soda.
Of course, you like to drink butterbeer with alcoholic flavor, but you can add some whiskey appropriately, but the butterbeer you usually order will not add these things to you, so in Harry Potter, Harry and Ron
Only then can they drink.
Otherwise, in foreign countries, especially in the UK, minors are prohibited from drinking. Harry is obviously not 18 years old, and it is impossible to give him alcohol in the movie for the sake of public image. This is inciting minors to commit crimes.
"Sir, your butterbeer."
The bartender quickly brought the butter beer, and Wang Xu picked it up and took a sip. The taste was very unique, but it had a good texture, and it also had a bit of lemon flavor.
After drinking half the glass in one breath, Wang Xu put down the glass, wiped the cream foam from the corner of his mouth, and whispered: "Professor Slughorn, I heard that you are a master of potions, especially good at making lucky water.
I'd like to take the liberty to ask if I can buy a few bottles of lucky water from you. The quantity doesn't need to be too much, just three or five bottles. I want to take it back and test it to see how lucky the lucky water is."
"this"
Slughorn looked embarrassed and explained: "I have some lucky water on hand, but I have a contract with a potion shop. The lucky water I make can only be supplied to the store and cannot be sold for profit.
Others, if you only want one bottle, I can give it to you as a gift between friends, but you want too much, so I can't help you."
"What kind of store is that? I can go to the store and buy it. The price is not a problem." Wang Xu doesn't care, as long as there is a place to buy it.
Slughorn smiled bitterly, lowered his voice, and whispered: "Knockturn Alley, Edward's Potion Shop."
"Knockturn Alley?" Wang Xu was a little surprised. No wonder Slughorn had to lower his voice when speaking, because Knockturn Alley is different from Diagon Alley in that it is a place where dark wizards are entrenched.
Now that Voldemort has returned, the wizarding world has fallen into the Great Depression. Under this black panic, the regular shops in Diagon Alley have almost closed down.
In contrast, the business in Knockturn Alley where dark wizards are entrenched is booming. Most of them are dark wizards who support Voldemort. The more powerful Voldemort becomes, the happier they will dance.
"The owner of the store I worked with before and his whole family ran away to Belgium, so I had no choice but to find a new partner." Slughorn raised his glass and took a sip, defending himself: "I don't want to be a black man.
I’m a wizard, but I have a big family to support, so life is always a bit helpless, isn’t it?”
"I understand your difficulties very well. Cheers to life!" Wang Xu picked up the cup and clinked it with Slughorn, then put the butterbeer to his mouth and drank it in one gulp.
The conversation that followed was much more enjoyable. Wang Xu asked Slughorn some questions about potions, and Slughorn's answers corrected some of his mistakes.
Wang Xu previously believed that you don't have to be a wizard to refine magic potions, because many potions themselves have magic power, and when they are combined together, they have effects similar to chemical reactions.
But Slughorn told him that this idea only applies to low-level potions. In high-level potions, the refining process of many potions requires the use of wands. It is absolutely impossible to do without a wand, and it is very difficult.
Danger.
Time slipped away during the conversation, and two hours passed quickly.
Wang Xu looked at his watch, put down his cup, stood up, and said, "Professor Slughorn, it was a pleasure talking with you, but I ordered clothes at a clothing store and it's already time to pick them up."
"You can do whatever you want. I come here for a drink every day. If you want to find me, you're either in the classroom or here." Slughorn drank a lot. He didn't just drink butterbeer. He had already drank it.
Drunk.
Wang Xu called up Twinkle and left the Three Broomsticks Bar and went straight to the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store.
When we arrived at the specialty store, the clothes customized for Shining were ready. After calculation, the total cost for two clothes and two pairs of shoes was 600 galleons.
Wang Xu took out the Galleons he had exchanged for gold at Gringotts and paid the bill happily, prompting the Fat Lady to repeatedly ask him if he wanted to order two wizard robes for himself.
In response, Wang Xu smiled and refused. The costume he wore came from the world of black super police. It was made of nanostructure and was enough to withstand small and medium-caliber rifles.
Unless the Fat Lady's enchanting skills can enchant the armor's protective spell on clothes, the so-called wizard's robe, apart from its own cleaning function, is of no use to Wang Xu.
As we all know, the more powerful the magic, the higher the difficulty of enchantment.
Apart from the ancient witchcraft that he inherited, he has never heard of any contemporary enchantment master who can add defensive spells to items.
"Twinkle, can you lead someone to use Apparition?"
Seeing Shining wearing new clothes and following behind him, Wang Xu suddenly didn't want to go back to Hogwarts.
When Shining accepted the clothes, it meant she accepted Wang Xu as her master. She nodded repeatedly and said, "I can do it."
Hearing this answer, Wang Xu looked up at the darkening sky and whispered: "Take me to Knockturn Alley."
