"This Mr. Dexterous Hands can remember so much information, how rare." Arthur watched as Mr. Dexterous Hands calmly answered all kinds of questions. He had a natural fondness and interest for these kinds of magical creations. "And he doesn't show any impatience towards the customers' questions. This is definitely a good assistant for a business. But it should be very expensive, right?"
"George and Fred are really smart. I don't know when they've secretly developed so many products. Moreover, the two of them are doing well in their business. I never thought that their business would be so good … "Molly said with a frown. Molly Weasley looked around at the wizards who were choosing their products. "Allen, you suggested not to compete for jobs in the Ministry of Magic, but to let them do what they like. Now it seems that you were right. These two kids are really talented in business. "
"Mr. Dexterous Hands, there's still some time before it's officially listed. If you don't mind, I would like to get a Mr. Dexterous Hands for your family. I would like to ask you to help me experience and observe whether it can maintain good mobility in a more complicated geographical environment." Allen saw that Arthur was very interested in it, so he deliberately used the excuse of helping to test it and planned to give the Weasley family a Mr. Dexterous Hands magic statue. He then pretended to carefully turn his head and look around. "Of course, as a company, when we sell our products to the outside world, we will definitely prioritize profit. But Mr. Dexterous Hands is not considered the development cost of the technology, and if we only consider the cost of the materials, it's actually not that expensive..."
Harry, who was beside them, heard Allen and the others' conversation. He looked at Mr. Dexterous Hands with envy. He planned to wait until Mr. Dexterous Hands was listed and give it to his godfather, Sirius? One for Blake. As he grew older, or because Dumbledore was busy with other things, the headmaster of Hogwarts no longer told Hagrid to strictly control his authority to use the property left to him by Gringotte's parents.
A while ago, when Dumbledore came to Blake's ancestral home at 12 Grimmauld Square, Harry didn't know what happened, because the Order of the Phoenix didn't allow him to participate in the meeting. But later, he found that the relationship between Sirius and the house elf Kreacher had dropped to the freezing point. If it wasn't for Lupin stopping him, Sirius seemed to have loudly said that he wanted to cause trouble for Allen and cancel some fraudulent deal. After that, they ordered Kreacher to stay in that little corner and not go anywhere, and all the housework was done by the adults themselves.
When he came back to his senses, Harry noticed that Ron had stepped forward to carefully examine the golem.
In fact, Ron, who had just heard that his family would also be given one, now looked at Mr. Dexterous Hands again. His feelings were completely different from before. Ron opened his eyes wide and leaned very close to Mr. Dexterous Hands, looking as if he was going to hug and kiss it.
"Lotus Root!
man！ Harry, with this, mother will no longer nag me and dislike me for being lazy during the holidays. She can completely free herself from housework! " Ron's hand touched Mr. Dexterous Hands, and then he exaggeratedly seemed to suck in his saliva. "Lotus Root! Awesome！ It's different from what I imagined, Harry. Mr. Dexterous Hands feels good to the touch. It's not cold at all. It must be very expensive! "
"It must be very expensive. The wizard family who owns it must be very dignified!" A somewhat overly sweet female voice sounded from behind Ron and Harry. "Hi, Ron. Hi, Potter."
Harry and the others turned around and found that the owner of the voice, who had suddenly started giggling to herself, was Gryffindor's classmate, Lavender Brown. She was a girl who was famous for her love of Divination classes. She began to worship Professor Trelawney because he had once predicted the death of the rabbit she raised.
Not far away, Lavender and the Indian girl, Parvati Pettit, were beside her and were poking her with her elbow. She and Hermione were roommates who were assigned to the same dormitory as Gryffindor. However, the relationship between Hermione and them had never been good. In Miss Know-It-All's opinion, Lavender Gryffindor, Lavender Gryffindor, Lavender Gryffindor, Lavender Gryffindor Perhaps she was too cheerful, or perhaps too silly, and seemed a little neurotic.
"Hi, Lavender, Parvati." Ron heard them and straightened his back. While he was secretly pleased with himself, he awkwardly took a few steps back behind Harry with the pile of goods in his arms. The freckles on both sides of his nose became less obvious on his flushed cheeks.
Harry also nodded politely to the two, and then his attention was attracted by a group of people who walked in.
Lucius, who was dressed exquisitely? Malfoy and his wife, Narcissa? Blake? Malfoy raised his head and arrogantly walked into the Weasley family's joke shop with the logo of the Umbrella Company. Pency? Parvati Pettit followed closely behind Draco with a pale face. Behind Malfoy, Draco excitedly walked over to Allen as soon as he saw him.
Pency saw the direction Draco was heading in, and instead of following him closely as usual, she cowered behind Lucius. Then, using Lucius's figure to hide a short distance away, she flashed behind a counter. Pency's unusual behavior attracted the attention of Jenny, who was standing in front of the witch magazine counter.
Jenny flicked her red curly hair and pretended to pick out goods as she followed Lucius without batting an eyelid. Malfoy and his group used the mirror in the girl's counter to observe Parvati Pettit. She saw that Parvati Pettit wasn't attracted by the dazzling lineup of goods, and didn't even look at the girl's favorite mirror. Instead, she glanced at the Malfoy family, who was asking questions with Allen, and hid herself completely behind the counter. It seemed that not only did Pency not intend to go up to ask questions, she was also trying to make Allen unable to see her.
This unusual behavior aroused Jenny's curiosity. After all, Pency was like a poodle, following Draco everywhere whenever she had free time. In order to please Draco, she had always been respectful to Allen.
Due to the presence of Arthur and Molly, after the Malfoy family ignored the Weasley family and Allen's greetings, Lucius and Narcissa started to walk around the store with picky and slightly disdainful gazes. Draco was left behind to talk to Allen about the condition of his grandfather, Abraxas. The Malfoy family came to Diagon Alley today not only to buy school supplies for Draco and the others, but also to bring back some novel things to make Abraxas happy.
Although Draco didn't say it explicitly, the Weasleys, who were originally embarrassed and angry at Malfoy's disregard, understood that Abraxas's condition seemed to be in the next few days. Otherwise, given the Malfoy family's character, they obviously wouldn't walk into the store opened by their family. Even if the two families could be considered enemies, the kind-hearted redheads obviously wouldn't do anything to the Malfoy family at this time.
After casually picking a few items in front of a few counters, Lucius Parsons and Narcissa left. Malfoy gave all the items to his wife, Narcissa, and Pency Parsons, who was behind a cabinet not far away. They didn't call Draco, who was talking to Allen, over. The two started to pretend to look at the items, but in reality, they started to sneak past the wizards who were indulging in all kinds of jokes and slowly moved in the direction of the store's entrance.
After going around a counter, Jenny, who was hiding at the side of the cabinet, heard Ron's voice. "Harry, look at Draco. He's talking behind Allen, and his eyes are filled with tears. If you ask me, if one of us is really gay, it must be this stoat!"
Jenny flashed over and grabbed Harry's arm. She quietly pointed in the direction of Pency and Lucius. Harry pushed up his glasses and elbowed Ron beside him.
Harry saw Lucius and Pency's abnormal behavior and frowned, "What are Old Malfoy and Parkinson doing?" Ron looked back and saw that Narcissa, who was still shopping, and Draco, who was talking to Allen, didn't seem to notice Lucius's actions. He also said in confusion, "Looks like they got rid of the stoat and his mother on purpose."
"But why? Parkinson hid when she saw Allen when she came in. She didn't even greet Allen as usual, as if she was afraid of being seen by Allen … "Jenny told her boyfriend and brother what she had seen just now.
"Allen is a master of mind control! Parkinson is afraid that Allen will find out her inner secrets. They don't want Allen to know what they're doing! " Harry had a flash of inspiration and whispered in a low voice. A few semesters ago, he was very embarrassed when Allen and Snape explored the secrets in his mind many times. This also allowed him to speculate the reason for Pency Parkinson's abnormal behavior. "Let's follow them and see!"
