fall at hogwarts

Chapter 230

In the blink of an eye, Christmas is here.

In addition to receiving gifts from his classmates, Ed also received several letters from Hogwarts.Probably to tell Ed what happened in school recently.

It was nothing more than Filch catching someone on a night outing, and Hagrid taking them to see his new pet.

"I'm done." Ed put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and looked at the two sitting opposite him.

After taking a look at Ed, Papa Flamel continued to look down at the newspaper.

Grandma Perenelle raised her head, "Come back early, don't go too far, Nan Wan hasn't returned from her hometown yet, you don't have bodyguards, be careful!"

"understood!"

Ed left the chair, grabbed the magic carpet Bant and clamped it in his creaking nest, waving his hands indifferently.

It's not an era of chaos now, is it possible that people will be kidnapped when they go out?Groot in the distance, the leaves are shining green under the sunlight.

In the crown of the tree, rows of colorful birds stood quietly watching Ed leave.

Sitting on the magic carpet, Ed came to Plymouth, Devon. It is said that there is a wizarding gathering here, and there are many things that cannot be seen in the UK.

Ed wanted to check it out.

The gathering was near the castle of a wizard family, in a hidden natural harbor, and the sound of the Atlantic Ocean was heard from time to time.

Because it is during the day, the market is not very lively. It seems that all the gatherings are the most lively at night.

Similarly, under the cover of night, those shady deals can also be put under the sky.

However, under the sunshine of winter, and taking advantage of the holiday of Hogwarts students and the festive atmosphere of Christmas, there are still quite a few people here during the day.

Ed is one of the many tourists, looking at the magical materials that are not available in the UK and some magical creatures that can be domesticated.

"Come, come, take a look, take a look! The tree monkey frog that lives in the southern United States! It can be used to decorate your Christmas tree, and it will definitely surprise relatives and friends who come to your home!"

The tree monkey frog has green skin, markings, smooth and hairless, webbed hands and feet, long and flexible limbs, and the most notable feature is a large pustule in the middle of its forehead.

When the tree monkey frog sensed danger, the pustule turned scarlet, blinking red.

Ed leaned over to look, and the tree monkeys and frogs all laughed at Ed, with their mouths wide open, revealing a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.

This scene made everyone present shudder, and the little wizard who was clamoring for his parents to buy a few back also shut his mouth.

"Oh! I can make it cheaper! They're not dangerous! They don't attack people!"

The boss wanted to save his customers, but he saw them leave without hesitation one by one, and finally sat down on the cage.

He was going back this afternoon, but he didn't sell a single tree monkey frog. This time, he probably lost even his trousers to the goblins at Gringotts.

And his wife and daughter are still waiting for him at home.

"How are you!"

Ed's voice rang in the boss's ear, and when he heard someone, a glint of hope flashed in the boss's eyes.

But when he looked up and saw that it was only a child, the boss lowered his head in disappointment and replied in a low voice, "Hello, child."

"Er...boss, I'm not saying hello to you."

Hearing Ed's words, the loss in the boss's eyes became more intense.Are you blaming me for being sentimental?Am I just a failure?

Ed couldn't understand why the boss was so frustrated, shouldn't he try to greet every customer?

In this regard, the shops in Diagon Alley do a good job.

"Do you want to buy this tree monkey frog?"

"Buy, but if you just want one or two, I'll give it to you. There's a cage next to it, just grab whichever you like."

Ed scratches the back of his head, then looks at his clothes.

That's right, no holes, no mess.

How did you misunderstand your own purchasing power?

"Boss, I want as many tree monkey frogs as you have."

A flash of surprise flashed in the boss's eyes, he looked Ed up and down, and then showed a ruthless expression: "This is not a small sum, where are your parents? You can't decide."

Then he rolled up his sleeves and puffed up his biceps: "You brat, you can't bear the consequences of entertaining me."

The boss has seen many children who like to play pranks, and he feels that Ed is playing tricks on himself now.

"I can make the decision. If the boss is not at ease, we can release the Fidelity Curse together."

Ed took out a piece of paper from his pocket, picked up a pen and asked, "Boss, what's the full price? Can you deliver it to No. XX, Diagon Alley?"

"Of course! There are 43 common tree monkey frogs, 4 mutated tree monkey frogs, and a total of [-] gold Galleons including the cage."

The boss's face brightened with a "swish", and he bowed his waist and came to Ed's side: "Young master, do you want to pay, or go to the temporary location of Gringotts next door.

The goblins will charge a 5% handling fee, and our rule here is that the buyer pays. "

"Six thousand gold Galleons, right?" Ed wrote down six thousand and the address on the paper, signed his name at last, tore off the paper and put it in the boss's hand before leaving.

But he was pulled by a big hand, "Stop!", the boss arched his biceps again, with a cigarette in his mouth:

"Boy! What do you mean?"

Ed turned his head, feeling very strange: "It's probably something like a check. You can take this to any of Gringotts and exchange the number on it for money."

Ed may have forgotten that this paper with a magic contract is only circulated in Diagon Alley.

"I knew it! You're here to amuse me!" The boss grabbed Ed, "I'll send you to the Ministry of Magic right now!"

"Hey! Hello! Can we have a nice talk? Since you don't want to pay by check, I can pay in cash."

Ed and his boss are actually chattering in broad daylight, people can't help but sigh that the world is getting worse!
A child with a runny nose and crotch pants on the side of the road pointed at Ed with a lollipop: "Mom! What are they doing?"

The child's mother covered the child's eyes with her hand: "Bah, bah, kid, don't look around!"

Because most of the people who come to the market during the day are idle.So, Ed and the boss got a lot of attention.

Reporter Rita, who was arranging her hair in the distance, saw the crowds of people, even though she was wearing high heels, she could immediately run on tiptoe happily.

"No! Tm, if you amuse me, I will let you remember this lesson!"

The boss was already angry, but suddenly a brat came to play with his feelings.

Just play with it, just pay for it!

But not only did he not pay, but he also mocked his IQ with a piece of paper!

To the Ministry of Magic!This is not negotiable!
Seeing that this problem could not be solved with words, Ed broke free from the boss's grasp like a fish swimming, and said to the boss:
"Oh, why did I just entertain you! If my grandma finds out what you said, I won't just break two legs!"

Afterwards, Ed tidied up his crumpled clothes, took out a scale from his pocket and threw it on the ground.

"One gold galleon weighs 5 grams, and six thousand gold galleons weighs [-] grams."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ed took out Gold Galleons from his pocket one by one.

The crisp sound of the gold coins colliding with each other, as well as the shining golden light, made the boss swallow his saliva involuntarily.

He had never seen so much money piled up together in his life.

Rita wrote a copy on the spot "Plymouth!Master Flamel spent a lot of money for it! "

Since the Daily Prophet has become in line with international standards, reporter Rita feels that she has become more and more comfortable writing reports.

It's a pity that the Le May family is too powerful, and a lot of black material in her hands has not been exposed.

"Well, almost thirty kilograms." Ed threw the last handful of Galleons onto the scale, and then clapped his hands: "Remember to send the tree monkey baby to this address."

"Okay, okay!"

The boss didn't know what to say at this time, he just held his wand high in his hand and knocked Gallon into his pocket.

"Legal La Mora fish! It has strong magic power and can fix the sea boat! Make your sea boat never sink!"

"Magic tape! Specially used to repair items that cannot be repaired by spells, or are not suitable for repairing by magic!"

"Double-sided mirror! It allows people to communicate with each other in different places! It is a must-have product for traveling at home, killing people and stealing goods, and cheating on exams!"

Now wherever Ed goes, the shop owners there will shout loudly, as if they were cast by Ed's spell.

There are also some "lady bosses" who always approach Ed in various awkward ways.Either fell down, or became dizzy, and many of them wanted to touch Ed's waist.

However, is Ed a frivolous person?
Slytherin's representative color is green, but that doesn't mean Ed likes it.

Alas, Ed really gave up the whole forest for those few trees!


Moving!

However, after Ed generously bought a few poor Hello Kitties again, Bant, who had been following Ed, suddenly patted Ed on the shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Ed asked curiously.

Bant pointed to the crowd, and Ed looked over, but there was nothing but the passing crowd.

Afterwards, Ed continued to browse the market and found many "legal" magical animals, which he bought one by one.

"It's almost time for us to go back."

Ed walked around the entire market, probably because he was going home, so there were many things that could only be bought in the dark, and Ed also bought them today.

Just as Bant was about to leave, Ed suddenly saw a man wearing a robe and a hood covering his face.

He ticked Ed with his hand, as if saying to Ed: "Come with me, I have what you want here."

Ed hesitated for a moment, looked up at the sky, it was too early.

Jumped off the magic carpet, slapped the magic carpet and said, "Wait here for a while, I'll be back later."

Ed followed the gray cannon man, and these oncoming people didn't even notice that this boy was "the guy who just spent a lot of money.

Go through the crowd and gradually walk to the back of the assembly shop.There are all kinds of messy goods here.

The creatures that look after the goods are also various, including dogs, monkeys and house elves.

They have different appearances and different personalities, the only thing they have in common is looking at Ed and the gray-robed man with indifferent eyes.

"What are you taking me to see?"

Although I know that in order to ensure their own safety, many vendors will always arrange various traps and tests to ensure that the Ministry of Magic will not catch them.

Sure enough, the gray-robed man didn't answer Ed's words, he just led the way ahead.

"Okay then, let's move on."

Ed didn't hesitate, he believed that he had enough self-protection ability.

However, the deeper you go, the more boxes are used to hold goods, and the house elves can't see a few.

From the hull that could be vaguely seen through the gaps between the cargo boxes, and the increasingly clear sound of the waves, Ed could tell that he was already on the beach.

Suddenly a trace of anxiety flashed in his heart, he held his wand in his hand, put on his hood, and was ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

As he was walking, Gray Cannon suddenly stopped, and he stood in front of a box:
"It's in the box. It's worth at least one hundred thousand Galleons."

One hundred thousand Galleons?
Even though it was Ed, he was surprised when he heard the price.

What could be worth [-] Galleons?Could it be Merlin's beard?

If that's the case, one hundred thousand gold Gallon Ed will definitely come out!
The man in gray robe took out the key and opened the box.Because Ed was curious, he wanted to take a sneak peek.

"Snapped!"

A wooden board hit the back of Ed's head, and the wooden board broke in two instantly.

"You..." Ed turned back in pain.

"Go to hell you!"

Another piece of wood was knocked over, and Ed passed out and fell headfirst into the box.

The gray-robed man had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he closed the lid at once, and then locked the box.

Looking at the broken plank on the ground, the gray-robed man fell into deep thought, then suddenly exploded, and slapped the fat man holding the plank in his hand:
"Kaos! Are you stupid?! There are still nails on it! What if he is killed?
Killing him isn't worth a hundred thousand Galleons! "

Fatty Kaios said aggrievedly: "I didn't mean it, Almeida, and you don't let me use magic. Otherwise, I would succeed in a faint."

The gray-robed man took off his hood and looked at his accomplice, "Curse? Do you know that his clothes have magic resistance! Not to mention a sleeping spell, you can't faint him even with ten!"

His name is Almeida, and he and Keos are going to follow the rally to make some money.

But the things they invested in, the British were not very interested in, and they didn't sell for much money.

The money they earned was no more than the money for the two of them to return to America.

But today, when they saw the deal between Ed and the boss of the monkey tree frog, Almeida was moved and decided to hold a cross-border event.

Be a kidnapper!
However, they didn't get scared just because they did it for the first time.

After all, this is much less risky than robbery.

After spitting on the ground and stepping into the soil, Almeida said to the fat man, "Go, and tie up that guy who sells monkey tree frogs.

You are also six thousand gold Galleons! "
