Hogwarts from another world

For Matthew Wakefield, his life this summer has just begun.

He is now in a cellar, which is crowded with crates and other wooden boxes.

Matthew was panting and carrying a huge crate, and then climbed out of the cellar with some difficulty...

"Bring me a box of peanut butter, Wakefield, they're almost buying us out-" a woman's voice came from above the cellar.

"Coming..." Matthew shouted.

Then he quickly climbed the stairs carrying the crate.

"Thank you!" When he handed the box of peanut butter to Mrs. Froome, the landlady said quickly.

But after a second, she began to continue greeting the guests in a hurry.

Matthew propped up his thighs, bent over and panted.

But I haven't rested for a while yet.

"Go move another box of Sizzling Bees, Wakefield -" Froome, who was working on the counter on the other side, shouted loudly.

"Wait a minute!" Matthew quickly cheered up and ran into the cellar again.

……

Matthew Wakefield ended up working part-time at Honeydukes Candy Store during his summer vacation.

The sweet shop was run by Mr. Ambrosio Froome, a broad, somewhat bald man, and his wife, Mrs. Froome, a slightly richer woman...both husband and wife. A person with a very easy-going temperament and easy to get along with.

When they heard that Matthew was a student who wanted to work part-time in Hogsmeade during the summer vacation, they enthusiastically took him in and offered him the job.

The salary is actually very good, twelve galleons per week, which is much higher than ordinary summer temporary workers; the living place is also in Honeydukes' attic, in a rather quiet and tidy small room——

The only drawback is probably that the work intensity is a bit high!

It can even be said to be quite large...

Most of the time, Honeydukes was packed with guests of all kinds, and although their targets were the various candies, no one would give Matthew a second glance.

The store has shelf after shelf filled with the most delicious candies imaginable, all at affordable prices—

Chunks of creamy peanut brittle, chunks of shimmering pink coconut sorbet, hundreds of neatly arranged chocolates of all kinds, a vat of multi-flavor beans, a tub of sizzling honey bees. A sherbet drink floating in the air)…

Of course, there are also various candies with "special effects": such as Chuibao Super Bubble Gum (it can fill the whole room with blue bellflower-colored bubbles that will not burst for several days), strange fragment-shaped Maomaoya Thin mints, tiny black pepper urchins ("Blow fire out of your nose for your friends!"), ice mice ("hear your teeth chatter and squeak!"), toad-shaped buttercream Thin mints (“literally jump in your stomach!”), crunchy sugar quills and popping bonbons…

These candies disappear from the shelves every day at a speed visible to the naked eye...of course, they are bought by customers.

Matthew's task is to carry another box from the cellar before the goods on the shelves are completely sold out. The Fromms will remind him at any time...

Considering the popularity of Honeydukes candy, it takes him about five minutes to make his way down to the cellar.

It’s hard to imagine that the wizarding world loves these sweets so much; Matthew has seen all kinds of people here, from young wizards of seven or eight years old to old men over a hundred years old...

Not to mention that there are also some strange creatures that often appear among the wizards; for example, vampires and dominatrixes who like to suck blood-scented lollipops; Mrs. Frum is a little afraid of them, but Mr. Frum is. They also received them warmly...

It is indeed the most popular wizard shop in Hogsmeade!

……

Matthew didn't care about this "hard" job.

On the one hand, he will be fourteen years old in two months. He has grown rapidly in recent years. His height has now reached 1.7 meters, and his body is quite strong. He is no longer the same person he was when he first came into contact with the magical world two years ago. A small, pitiful and helpless child.

On the other hand, if he wanted to be a little more relaxed, he could choose to go to the Two Broomsticks Bar...the business there during the summer vacation was quite average, and the work intensity was obviously much lower.

Just think of it as exercise.

And after a hard day's work, the tired body will make the brain think and judge problems more rationally...

As the sun gradually sets, the number of pedestrians on the streets of Hogsmeade also dwindles. Honeydukes’ guests were no exception. They were descending at a speed visible to the naked eye until the last guest left the candy store——

"Closing!" Mr. Frum shouted, and at the same time hung the "Closed" sign at the door of the store.

"Another pretty fulfilling day!" his wife said as she packed away the candies scattered on the shelves.

Matthew also bent down and took a few breaths.

"Let's have some butterscotch, Wakefield!" She threw a large piece of butterscotch to Matthew, "First fill your stomach, I'll go cook it right away!"

"Thank you, madam!" Matthew replied, but to be honest, unlike his peers, he didn't like these sweets very much.

"Can I go for a walk on the street at this time, madam?" He suddenly asked softly, "To be honest, I want to relax..."

"Of course, it's not a good idea to stay in the store all day!" Mrs. Froome smiled kindly, "Just come back before half past nine. I'll have almost finished cooking dinner by then; we'll wait for you to come back. Lock the door again!”

"Thank you, madam!" Matthew said gratefully.

Then, he wrapped the piece of creamy peanut candy in tin foil and placed it on the table.

Then he stuffed his wand into his waist and left Honeydukes Candy Store.

……

The sun sets later than usual in summer.

But now, although it's not completely dark yet, there are very few pedestrians on the roadside.

Although Hogsmeade does not impose a "curfew", after experiencing last year's Azkaban prison break and the influence of those dementors, everyone generally does not like to go out at night (although the dementors were released a few months ago) were all removed).

Matthew Wakefield was walking aimlessly on the central avenue of Hogsmeade.

If you get very close to him, you can see that the boy's face looks a little tangled.

When he passed the post office on Central Avenue, he looked up at the next intersection——

There was a small bar built at the intersection. The tattered wooden sign hung on a rusty bracket on the door. It had a severed pig head painted on it, and blood stains penetrated the white cloth wrapping it.
