Hogwarts from another world

And just like that, Matthew Wakefield ended up at Flourish and Blotts.

And he will spend the next two months or so here.

During the day he was an employee in the bookstore, and at night he had to work in a small room in the basement doing accounting work.

A very simple small room with almost nothing in it except a bed, a desk, and an oil lamp.

Moreover, the environment in the basement is very humid and there are many mosquitoes; there are even a few spiders appearing in the corners of the walls from time to time.

But this was the turn of Matthew's pet, the black-socketed toad, to show its talents; as Matthew opened the toad's cage, those little bugs quickly disappeared, and a bunch of mealworms were saved.

It was the first time that Matthew felt the benefits of raising such a unique pet.

Although life was a little difficult, after all, he was just a "homeless" little wizard, so Matthew didn't really care much.

Work at Flourish and Blotts isn't exactly hectic.

Because there are not many customers here, but there are many shop assistants inside.

Most of the time, there are more clerks than customers.

Most of the guests are Hogwarts students and their parents; you only need to ask them what grade they are in and hand them the cardboard boxes with textbooks already packed in them.

The accounting work at night is not difficult, because under normal circumstances, excluding Hogwarts textbooks, the entire Flourish and Blotts Bookstore can only sell about twenty or thirty books a day, and those textbooks have long been used by Hogwarts. Now that the purchase has been completed, there is no need to keep accounts; for Matthew, the remaining work is a small matter that can be done in a quarter to half an hour.

The clerks are generally very polite to Matthew, especially Mr. Shafiq, the manager of the bookstore. He rarely asks Matthew to do heavy work, probably because he is afraid that Matthew will deliberately miscalculate the accounts and cause him heavy losses.

Of course Matthew would not do that kind of thing. He does his job diligently every day.

However, the price of the book was much more expensive than Matthew imagined.

Any paperback book starts at 23 galleons; those with hardcover books start at 510 galleons.

Matthew also saw a leather-bound book as big as a paving stone with a price tag of 50 galleons, which was higher than a month's salary for an adult wizard.

Matthew could suddenly understand why the Weasley family in another world were living in such embarrassment.

A complete set of textbooks would probably add up to thirty or fifty galleons. At the same time, four or five children are supported to study at Hogwarts, and this is a single-income family. Mr. Weasley's salary at the Ministry of Magic should not be too high. High; maybe the book fees alone cost half of their family’s income every year.

Of course, Hogwarts in this world does not need to bear this high cost.

The reason why Matthew chose to come to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore also had his purpose.

That is, he wanted to find out the origin of the book that had been with him for almost a year.

After all, the first time I saw that book was at the bottom of the bookcase at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, so the origin of that book most likely had something to do with this bookstore.

It's a pity that some things don't come true.

After nearly a week of insinuations and undercover investigations. Matthew still had no clue.

In fact, as the clerk who received Matthew last year said, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore is not a used bookstore. It usually only sells new books, not old antiques.

Moreover, Ma Xiuzai carefully checked the account books for the past half year and found no record of the purchase of "old books".

This even made Matthew doubt himself for a while.

Could it be that the origin of that book really has nothing to do with Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore?

The reason why it appears at the bottom of the bookcase at Flourish and Blotts is just a coincidence.

Time passed day by day, and the weather became hotter and hotter.

Matthew has bumped into his Hogwarts acquaintances in this bookstore many times.

They all seemed surprised that Matthew Wakefield was working as a shop assistant here during the summer

The explanation given by Matthew is that he prefers to stay with books; working as a clerk at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, he can have a lot of time to read interesting books every day.

This also made some acquaintances "admire" Matthew even more.

In fact, this is a complete lie.

Flourish and Blotts Bookstore is not Xinhua Bookstore. How could the little wizard be allowed to read such expensive books frequently?

Even if you are a customer, if you read a book for a long time, a clerk will come over and drive him away lukewarmly.

Not to mention the clerks in their own stores.

This is nothing more than an excuse.

In addition, Matthew has never met his "friends" at Hogwarts.

Until one day in mid-July, the weather was extremely hot.

Matthew huddled under a bookshelf to enjoy the cool air.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.

"Dad, I invited Matthew Wakefield to my house before."

It was Draco Malfoy's voice. He walked into the shop, followed by another man.

That man could only be his father, with the same pale pointed face and the same cold gray eyes.

"You have told me about Matthew Wakefield at least ten times." Mr. Malfoy glanced at his son and stopped him from continuing: "I want to remind you that no matter how talented or talented he is, Charming, but if he is a mudblood, then he will definitely not be the same as us."

Matthew blinked slightly.

He originally planned to go over and say hello to Malfoy, but now he gave up the idea.

He quickly hid behind the bookshelf to prevent the father and son from discovering him.

"I'm not allowed to say that word on campus" Draco Malfoy whispered.

"Then you say it in your heart." Mr. Malfoy said coldly: "You have to remember, Draco; the conflicts between our noble pure-blood families and the Mudbloods can never be reconciled. of"

At this moment, Mr. Shafiq, the manager of the bookstore, had walked over.

"Mr. Malfoy, you are such a rare visitor," Mr. Shafiq said in a rather greasy tone: "I still remember when you came to my place a year ago, you brought me a big deal."

"Yes, Shafiq, you made a lot of money." Lucius Malfoy lowered his voice and said viciously: "Then you lost the most important one among those books for me."

Matthew behind the bookshelf couldn't help but blink.

He felt that he seemed to have discovered a clue.
