"Ginny, when did you say the old ghoul ran away from home?" Harry asked Ginny as he walked.
But Ginny was busy looking at the windows on both sides and did not seem to hear Harry's words.
They were now in Diagon Alley.
After the reconstruction project of Lovegood's house was on track, Molly and Kamia decided to take the children to buy all the necessities before school started.
They probably missed the peak shopping period.
On this day, Diagon Alley was not as crowded as Harry remembered, but Molly and Hermione were a little disappointed. "I heard that Gidroylockhart was holding a signing event at Lihen Bookstore a few days ago!"
Harry pulled Ginny.
He asked again.
The girl turned around and recalled. "At the end of March," she replied.
"I remember writing a letter to Ron."
Ginny looked at Harry.
She was puzzled. "Why are you asking this?"
Ron leaned forward and whispered to Ginny what they had found. "It's terrible. Do you know that your old ghoul is a poet?" Harry added, "And he's a symbolist."
"What did he write?" Ginny did not seem to know about this.
She asked curiously.
Harry glanced at Kamia, who was walking in front of Molly. He took out a piece of paper from his robe pocket and handed it to Ginny.
On the paper was Harry's imitation of the old ghoul's handwriting.
Even the scribbled scratches were imitated.
While Ginny was reading the note, Zhang Zian's expression changed.
The two parents in front suddenly stopped. Harry looked up and found that they had not reached Lihen Bookstore yet. Instead, they had stopped in front of... uh, a joke shop?
Molly naturally would not take the initiative to bring the children to buy prank toys. It was Kamia who stopped, and the reason she stopped was... "Quirinus?"
The former Defense of Black Magic professor at Hogwarts, Quirinus, was tidying up the shelves with an exaggerated top hat when he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling his name. He turned around and saw Kamia and Lovegood standing at the entrance of the shop with a group of people with a strange expression. "Quirinus, is this your joke shop?"
Quirinus quickly pulled off the hat on his head, then came forward, rubbed his hands, and revealed his unique reserved smile. "Professor Kamia..." his gaze fell on the baby carrier in front of Kamia. Quirinus stuttered, "This, this is..."
"This is Lovegood's little Tommy ~" Without waiting for Quirinus to squeeze out the rest of his words, the Weisles twins had already come forward, one on each side of him. They grinned, showing the same smirk, and said loudly, "Welcome to Q&W Trick Shop ~"
Q&W? Quirinus and Weisles twins? Harry was slightly startled, but Hermione gently pulled him and whispered, "Cough cough, that W, it can also be Wendy..."
"Wendy? Who is Wendy? " After Harry asked, the female shop assistant who was originally standing to the side, trying to pack a group of crawling toy caterpillars into a box, turned around, blinked her eyes, and smiled. "Wendy is me."
Harry stared at the very young female shop assistant for a while, and finally recalled a moment from her high ponytail. At that time, Quirinus was being dragged through the courtyard of the Hogwarts by people from the Ministry of Magic. It was this senior from Ravenclaw who suddenly rushed out from the side and gave Quirinus a tight hug, scaring the poor professor quite a bit. However, this caused the spectating students to cheer.
"Wendy Walter, Ravenclaw 6th year student." Wendy straightforwardly introduced herself, then greeted everyone one by one. She especially bowed slightly to Kamia, then hugged the packed goods and walked to the back.
Compared to the calm and collected Wendy, the blushing Quirinus standing to the side was a little too embarrassed.
Fortunately, Kamia did not care much about these things, and Molly's attention was completely focused on her two sons. Therefore, the topic did not change to the relationship between the teacher and the female student, but instead fell on Quirinus's encounter.
"Professor Quirinus, are you really not going to go back and teach us?" Although they did not think that Quirinus was an outstanding teacher, the children still asked this question.
Quirinus was already flattered by this question. As he led everyone into the shop, he said softly, "... They said that my teaching method is wrong, and it will have a bad influence on the students... Also, some of the jurors felt that I was teaching the children black magic..." When he mentioned black magic, Quirinus subconsciously trembled. He slightly raised his eyes to look at the audience, then continued, "Dumbledore helped me for a long time, but... to be honest, I think I might not have been a good teacher in the first place."
Harry and Ron hurriedly murmured that Professor Quirinus was a good professor. Quirinus only smiled gently and shyly, then he talked about the Weisles twins, "... It was their idea, this trick shop. Half of the products you see are their independent creations, and eighty percent of the products came from their ideas... "
"But Professor Quirinus also has a lot of ideas..."
"Very interesting..."
"Very sharp..."
"The most important thing is..."
"He has the funds to open a shop ~"
The twins echoed each other and amused Quirinus. From his much brighter expression, it could be seen that Quirinus still enjoyed running a trick shop.
Now that Harry knew which sales channel the twins and Hermione had gone through, with a fixed shop, they probably wouldn't have to worry about sales in the future. He just didn't know if the twins would visit a Weisles joke shop again in the future.
Harry patted his head and decided not to think about these unrealistic things.
On the other side, Mrs. Weisles was both proud and worried about the twins' achievements. However, when everyone was happy, she couldn't stand out and ruin the atmosphere. Thus, the children happily followed Quirinus to look at the products in the shop. Even Percy was attracted by the dazzling gadgets.
Harry didn't go over. Instead, he stood in the hall and looked at a glass cabinet. There were many colorful spiders crawling in the cabinet, making Harry's heart itch. If he had a smartphone now, he could send it to Peter and the others to see!
Wendy came out from the back after tidying up. When she saw Harry looking at the spiders, she went up to him and smiled. "Do you want to see their abilities?"
Harry looked at her expectantly. "Can I get superpowers if I get bitten by them?"
"... No." Wendy's mouth twitched. Then, she took a piece of parchment from the side and personally took out a spider and placed it on the parchment.
The colorful spider almost didn't stop and started gnawing on the parchment. After the paper scraps flew over, an amazing painting was left on the parchment.
Wendy touched the small spider and put it back. Then, she picked up the parchment and shook it. She smiled and said, "This is the idea that Qiu Zhang gave us. In her hometown, this is a decorative painting that is pasted on the doors and windows during festivals."
Harry sighed. "Qiu Zhang is really sparing no effort to be the ambassador of Eastern culture."
Just as Harry and Wendy were admiring the different patterns of window flowers gnawed by the different spiders, another person walked in. Harry thought it was a customer at first and didn't pay much attention to it. However, in the blink of an eye, a fluffy yellow little thing pounced on Harry. Then, it clung to Harry's robe and smiled innocently...
Harry almost held his breath. He first looked at the cute smiling face in front of him, then looked at the unchanging cold face in front of him. His voice trembled as he said, "S-S-Professor?!"
The little Ruby innocently scratched Harry's robe and then blinked. "What about me?!"
Harry gasped. "Pika?" Why hasn't Pika been sent back yet? No, why is the professor here?
Harry didn't ask, but the meaning of his question was obvious from his green eyes. However, Snape didn't intend to answer him. He just stared at Harry coldly, which confused Harry.
Firstly, Snape naturally wanted to send the little Lucky Beast back. The experiments that needed to be done had been completed, and the results seemed to have been achieved. Then, there was no need for him to guard this little evil creature every day. The result! When Snape picked up the little Ruby named Pikachu and wanted to send it back to his parents' house, a tragic drama happened.
First, the little Ruby's parents gave birth to a new litter of little Ruby Beasts. They didn't want their old son, who had been away for a long time. Then, the little Ruby Beasts' siblings were all married and had children. They were very disdainful of Pikachu, who was still a virgin. Finally, Pikachu didn't want to go back. During the days in Snape's house, although it was unhappy with the black face all day long, it met a very cute and kind person who was very good at peeling peanuts for it! It didn't know why it didn't see that kind person again, but the little Ruby Beasts firmly believed that they would meet again one day!
In this way, Snape had to bring back the little Ruby Beasts, who refused to leave the cage no matter what.
Secondly, Snape didn't come here to visit a joke shop or take care of his former colleagues. He planned to come to Diagon Alley to buy a new batch of magic potion bottles, but when he passed by here, he happened to see someone he wanted to visit.
"Kamia." Snape didn't care about Pikachu, who was clinging to Harry, and went straight to Kamia.
Kamia was carrying a little Tommy in a baby carrier in front of her. After Snape saw it, he paused for a moment, and then asked, "How is the child?" After all, he was the one who watched the child's birth.
"He can eat and poop." Kamia's answer was simple and rude.
"… That's good." For some reason, Snape faintly felt that when he talked to Kamia, it felt like he was talking to a certain Potter.
After the greetings, it was time to get down to business. Snape said a few words, and Kamia also nodded briefly. Harry, who was next to them, only vaguely heard a few words. It seemed to be related to Dumbledore, and Harry thought he heard the word "Flash." The Flash?
Seeing that Kamia nodded, Snape left without any reluctance. He waved his black robe, leaving the little Ruby Beasts and Harry in a daze.
