"This was built by wizards to commemorate the outstanding contribution made by the Potter family in the fight against the mysterious man," Haylis said softly, "They are really brave."
Joel looked at Haylis's exquisite profile, "When death comes, few people will generously die to protect others," he murmured, "Many times cowardly people will even pass the danger to
Take care of others to keep yourself safe."
He was mocking the idea he had come up with a few nights ago: to give Ginny Riddle's diary and let her suffer unreasonable disasters in this world, so as to ensure that the plot continues to develop and to seek peace for himself.
Hailes noticed that Joel was in a low mood. She thought that Joel was talking about Sirius Black who leaked the hiding place of the Carters, so she didn't pay attention and just leaned sideways to grab Joel's palm.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the open space in the village."
Joel felt a ball of smoothness and warmth in his hand. He looked down and saw that Hailis's white and jade-like little hand was in his hand.
Joel, who was in love for the first time in his two lives, felt his heartbeat speed up and an itching sensation in his heart. His blood kept rising, making his cheeks turn red.
He was dazed and was pulled to the edge of the village by Haylis, "Godric's Hollow has been developed almost over the years. Now is the best time to buy. If it were two years later, you would have to buy a house halfway up the mountain.
."
Haylis introduced him, holding a brochure in her hand, "There are two types of wizard residences in Godric's Hollow. You can buy a vacant piece of land, or you can buy an old house - actually
It’s also a piece of land, you can knock it down and rebuild or just move in..."
"Everything can be left to the real estate company and the Ministry of Magic," Haylis said eloquently. "As long as you are willing to pay, they can solve all problems."
"This house..." Joel stared at the white house in front of him. It was a two-story building. It occupied a large area and had a garden. It was backed by a hillside and the geographical environment was quite good.
"Have a vision!" Haylis turned into a real estate agent at this moment, "The previous owner is taking his children to study in the United States, and plans to auction this high-quality land. For only 4,000 Galleons, he can buy the land, the furniture in the house, the fence,
Flowers, plants, etc. are all included!”
"The master bedroom faces the sun. Every morning when you open the curtains, you can see the first ray of sunshine in the morning!" Hailis took out the key from her handbag, opened the door, and led Joel into the house.
"Wait..." Joel then realized, "Why do you have the house key?"
Hailis handed the brochure in her hand to Joel, and he looked at it. It was an introduction to the house. It could be seen that Hailis had read from the brochure.
Joel finally discovered the trick. The contact information at the bottom of the promotional page was: Selwyn Real Estate Company, 55 Diagon Alley.
"This is……"
"The owner of the house sold the property to my family first." Hailis opened the window and let the hot summer wind blow on her face. She closed her eyes for a moment, "You didn't take the information I mailed to you seriously yesterday.
See? It clearly has the contact information of the selling company written on it."
Joel scratched his head guiltily. He was busy looking at the rune phonetic table last night and didn't pay attention to the pile of real estate information.
"I think this house is pretty good," he changed the subject, "and the price is reasonable."
With the sunlight, he could clearly see the tiny fuzz on Haylis's ears.
"Of course," Haylis was a little dissatisfied with Joel, crossing her arms and groaning, "I even said hello to the people in the company that I will waive your handling fee this time."
Joel hesitated for a moment, "That's not okay. You still have to make money. You can charge as much as you should according to industry standards."
This is not the Guazi second-hand car direct sales website of the previous life. There are no middlemen to make the difference. The economic environment in the magical world where Joel lives is extremely crude. Under such circumstances, the middlemen cannot survive without taking commissions.
"No," Hailis leaned against the window, tilting her head to look at the garden outside the house, "I said hello in advance. If you like it, just pay."
"That's okay," Joel said plausibly, "if your family knows about this, they won't know what to think of me."
"How do you want me to see them in the future? If Bernie finds out, he might scold me for taking advantage of your family."
Haylis blushed for a moment, and then responded in a low voice, "You can pay if you want. The handling fee is not cheap. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
Joel walked around the house, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he wanted to sign the contract right away.
"No," Haylis objected with a puffed-up face, "I have to check two or three places before I can make up my mind to buy. What if there is something more suitable for me?"
She insisted on dragging Joel to shop around until noon. They finally looked at four properties and took a break at the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade.
Joel rubbed his sore calves and looked across the table at Haylis, who was drinking butterbeer with a calm expression as usual.
She is also wearing a pair of white high heels, how can she go shopping better than herself?
Joel could only attribute it to women's special talents.
"We have looked at all the land, and now we can make a decision. Which one do you like?" Hailis crossed her legs and took out the detailed information of the four pieces of land she looked at this morning from her handbag.
It has also been treated with a traceless stretching spell, and is embellished with a few pearls on the surface. You can tell from the appearance that it is expensive.
"The one in Godric's Hollow is pretty good," Xu said. The first impression was so profound that Joel couldn't forget the white house. "4,000 Galleons is not expensive."
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare the contract when I get back in the afternoon," Haylis shrugged. "The land will belong to you after that. I suggest you clean up the garden. I saw a goblin lair in it in the morning."
The two ordered two bottles of butterbeer and some snacks, and finished their meal in the bar.
Hailes had been shopping with him all morning. Joel, with his emotional intelligence, would not let his girlfriend go home directly. He took Hailes to Diagon Alley while she was sitting in a cold drink shop eating ice cream.
, I went to Fengya Clothing Store and bought a pair of black mid-heeled leather shoes.
"Well... Wearing high heels if you are too young will cause the feet to deform and affect their development." Joel glanced at Haylis's feet in high heels. "If you want to look taller, just wear these mid-heeled shoes."
"I know." Hailis opened the gift and took a look, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, looking cute and cute.
"Don't we have to choose elective courses at the beginning of school?" Joel asked, "Have you decided what you want to study?"
"I will definitely choose Muggle Studies," Haylis said first, "Well..."
She hasn't thought about the rest of the courses yet.
"Why did you choose Muggle Studies?" Joel wondered.
A blush spread across Haylis's cheeks, "...I want to know more about the world you lived in before, and I want to have more topics in common with you."
"I've also read a lot of Muggle novels in the past two years, such as Pride and Prejudice, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the like," Haylis flipped her hair from her ears, "The Muggle world is quite interesting.
"
These few words moved Joel deeply.
"Huh?" Haylis was a little shy after telling the girl what she was thinking, and her eyes wandered around the street. Suddenly she saw a familiar figure, "Why is Bernie here?"
She put on her sunhat and walked out, and Joel quickly followed behind her.
The two of them found Bernie in front of the Quidditch boutique window, standing with Draco Malfoy.
Just as Hailes was about to catch up, she was stopped by Joel. He remembered what Bernie had said on the special train back to London during the summer vacation.
"What?" Haylis frowned and looked back at her boyfriend.
"Don't rush out yet." Joel pulled her into an alley. The two of them stuck their heads out at an angle just right to see and hear everything that happened in front of the window. "Let's see what the two of them are going to do."
What."
Haylis glared at him, "Bernie told his parents today that he was going to the company to study management, so why did he get together with Malfoy?"
"What happened to Malfoy?" Joel felt confused.
"Haha..." Hailis crossed her arms with a look of disdain, "He's just a dandy who relies on his father's generation. He can't say more than three sentences without mentioning how my father is and what my mother is, and then he starts to show off how rich his family is.
No matter how much, everyone in the pure-blood family circle knows about his virtues."
Before Joel could reply, the conversation between Malfoy and Bernie in front of the Quidditch Boutique had already reached their ears.
"Shop clerk!" It was Malfoy's voice, still arrogant and arrogant, "How much does this Nimbus 2001 cost?"
The clerk has been working on the front line of sales for a long time, and his sharp eyesight allowed him to see at a glance that the robe Malfoy was wearing was of great value. He was obviously their intended customer for selling high-end brooms. He immediately said respectfully: "800 Galleons, I respect it.
Mr.
Before Malfoy could speak, the clerk fully demonstrated his professionalism, "Don't forget that the Nimbus 2001 is 300 Galleons more expensive than the Nimbus 2000, but it is definitely worth the money. Let's put it this way, the Nimbus 2001 is 300 galleons more expensive than the Nimbus 2000.
Round 200
0 Now it can no longer keep up with the Quidditch trend. The pedals, seat cushions and broom tail hoops of Nimbus 2001 have been fully upgraded, striving to give you the most comfortable flying experience. At the same time, we are focusing on safety protection and speed.
superior……"
The verbose words made Nimbus 2001 so exciting that Malfoy was not interested in hearing the whole content. He glanced at Bernie standing aside and cleared his throat to interrupt the clerk's introduction.
"Seven broomsticks!" Malfoy waved his little hand and compared a number, which made the clerk happy. "All of them will be recorded in the account of the Malfoy family."
He called Dobby, and the elf who had given him the inheritance appeared out of thin air again. It was still wearing an old pillowcase and was dirty. It lowered its head desperately and handed a cloth bag forward with both hands.
"Here, take them and count them." Malfoy raised his head high and pointed his nostril at the clerk, "Wrap all 7 brooms for me and have your store manager deliver them to my house this afternoon."
"Dobby, follow him and don't let him have any evil intentions."
Dobby bowed deeply again and made a sharp voice, "Dobby understands what my little master means."
The clerk took the money bag and trotted into the store immediately. This large order of 5,600 galleons could double his bonus this month.
Although little Malfoy's attitude is a bit domineering, people always have to be careful.
Watching Dobby follow the clerk into the Quidditch boutique, Malfoy just turned his eyes back and focused on Bernie.
"I remember what kind of broom you bought last year?" Malfoy clicked his tongue twice, "Nimbus 2000?"
"That's not good, Selwyn," Malfoy said slowly, with a bit of mockery on his face, "Didn't you hear what the clerk said just now?"
"Nimbus 2000 has outgrown the Quidditch trend," Malfoy imitated the store clerk's voice perfectly, "Don't you think about getting a new broom?"
Bernie's chubby face was full of embarrassment. If he had just entered school, he wouldn't have been able to afford 800 Galleons. However, after competing with Malfoy for a whole school year, Bernie bought a lot of luxury goods with Malfoy, and his savings had long been lost.
All spent.
He had more than a hundred galleons left on hand, and he still needed to buy books for the school year, a cauldron, and a wand. Even if he spent all his pocket money from school to Christmas, he still couldn't afford the Nimbus 2001.
"It's okay," Malfoy obviously saw that Bernie was short of money, he smiled pretending to be generous, "If you don't have money, just say so. Not every child can get so much money from their parents to buy a broom.
"Although the Selwyn family is not poor, there are only a few who dote on their children as much as my father does."
Malfoy patted Bernie's stocky shoulder, "Do you know why I bought 7 Nimbus 2001?"
"I bought one for each of the starting members of the Slytherin Quidditch team," Malfoy said with a proud smile on his face, "As long as you can join the starting team after school starts, you will also have one of the seven broomsticks.
Yes, your father doesn’t love you, it’s okay, you still have me.”
"As long as you agree to be my little brother - just like Crabbe Goyle, I will give you broomsticks and other gadgets at will. You know, I am much more generous to my little brother than your father is to his children."
Malfoy's tone was sinister and sarcastic.
"...Who wants you to send it?" Bernie's face was so red that he was about to bleed. Malfoy's words were full of thorns, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Bernie couldn't swallow this breath, so he decided to go home and ask his father for more money. He sold the Nimbus 2000, which had not been used several times, and replaced it with a new broom.
"Draco Malfoy!" Haylis finally couldn't hold back her anger after hearing Malfoy's last words, and walked out of the alley quickly, "Are you going too far?"
Malfoy narrowed his eyes and looked at Haylis from top to bottom, "Is this your sister, Selwyn?"
Bernie's eyes lit up when he saw his sister, but then he saw Joel behind his sister, and he immediately lowered his head and sulked.
"I hope Mr. Malfoy can go home and learn how to talk to others normally, instead of attacking your classmates with aristocratic accents!" Haylis's chest heaved violently, obviously very angry.
