Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"Oh my God! Did I read that correctly? This is actually a Prokos robe?" Mundungus rubbed his eyes and shouted in disbelief.

"Procos robe?" Dean asked doubtfully.

Dean believed that Mundungus, as the most famous black marketeer in the original work, would never make a mistake.

Mundungus, who was full of excitement, no longer bothered to answer Dean's questions. He quickly took out 5 glittering Galleons and slapped them on the counter: "These are 5 Galleons. This robe belongs to me." ."

As he spoke, Mundungus reached out to grab the robe from Dean's hand.

Dean calmly made a wrong step and dodged Mundungus' "hungry tiger's attack" without leaving a trace.

Seeing Mundungus almost falling into the pile of second-hand robes, Dean couldn't help teasing: "Mr. Mundungus, thank you for your generosity. If I'm not mistaken, this robe should now belong to Me~"

"No, I paid for it, so the robe is mine!" Mundungus took out his pipe and pointed at Dean and threatened.

Dean had an irresistible urge to prod Mundungus a few more words, so that he would have a high chance of "learning" a few spells from Mundungus.

Unfortunately, the moment Mundungus took out his pipe, the temperature of the entire store seemed to suddenly drop by dozens of degrees, as if even the air was condensed. Mundungus immediately froze in place.

"Mundungus, this Prokos robe belongs to Dean Thomas." The shopkeeper stared at Mundungus and warned every word.

"But I paid for it!" Mundungus swallowed and emphasized.

"You paid for me! Professor Snape said that all my expenses today will be paid by him, and he will just leave the galleons with you!" Dean quickly interjected to emphasize.

If the Galleons thing is not explained clearly, Dean is very worried that Mundungus will use this as an excuse to snatch away this extraordinary robe.

"How do you prove it?" Mundungus denied slyly. He was sure that Dean didn't have any evidence. After all, he just mentioned it casually.

Dean curled his lips, took out a piece of parchment, turned to a few lines of text, and showed it to Mundungus and the shop owner:

"Also:

Considering your special situation, you probably don't have the currency of the magical world, so I can temporarily lend you the items you need to buy. Please ask Mundungus for the specific amount.

Snape"

"This is impossible! How can you have Snape's proof?" Mundungus shouted in disbelief.

"Do you remember the letter that Professor Snape sent when we first met?" Dean smiled confidently.

Fortunately, he was careful and did not show the few lines Snape wrote on the back of the letter to Mundungus, otherwise Mundungus would definitely find a way to destroy this evidence before he planned to seize the ownership of the robe.

"Mundungus, the facts are very clear. Even if the Prokos robe does not belong to Dean who discovered it, it should belong to Snape." The shopkeeper said coldly.

"No, I don't agree! That's a Prokos robe. I can't just watch it go away from me!" Mundungus took out a handful of galleons and shouted at the shopkeeper, "Mrs. Graves , I am willing to pay five times, no, ten times the price for this robe!"

"Stop dreaming!" the shopkeeper, Mrs. Graves, categorically refused. "Mundungus, I advise you not to think about the Prokos Robe again. You should know that the Prokos Robe will choose its owner unless its owner takes the initiative. Give it up, otherwise others can’t take it away.”

"Why? Why did you choose to sell the Prokos robe to Dean?" Mundungus shouted desperately.

"Because it chose him!" After Mrs. Graves finished speaking, she waved her hand impatiently, and Dean noticed that Mundungus disappeared from his side.

Dean was startled and looked around for any trace of Mundungus. Only then did he realize that Mrs. Graves had used some means to teleport Mundungus outside the store.

Mundungus was hysterical and banging the door of the store that was completely closed to him, but not a single sound came into the store.

Dean couldn't help but look at the little-known Mrs. Graves in the original novel in a different light. This silver-haired old woman's strength was really extraordinary.

"It's finally quiet now~" Mrs. Graves breathed a sigh of relief and said to Dean with a smile.

Mrs. Graves never appeared in the original work, which caused Dean to suddenly lose the advantage of foresight. In the current situation where his own strength is worrying, facing a witch with unfathomable strength alone makes him feel a little bit. disturbed.

"Don't be nervous, let me think about it - maybe a glass of cold butterbeer can calm you down." Mrs. Graves stretched out her hand, and a glass of chilly butterbeer appeared in Dean's hand.

"Thank you." Dean had long been interested in this popular drink in the wizarding world. After taking a sip, he thought it tasted pretty good.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but after drinking the ice-cold butterbeer, Dean's previous anxiety was completely gone.

"You're welcome. If you have any questions, you can start asking now - letting Mundungus continue to yell outside the store will affect my business." Mrs. Graves reminded implicitly.

"Sorry." Dean realized that he should not waste Mrs. Graves' time and asked quickly: "Mrs. Graves, what is the Prokos Robe? Why is Mundungus so eager to get it? ?”

"The Prokos robe was mixed with the hair of invisible beasts during the production process - if you have watched "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", you should be able to guess the magical effect." Mrs. Graves smiled.

"...I haven't had the chance to read this 'famous book' yet." Dean said discouragedly, "Maybe you don't know that I come from a Muggle family and I just received the notice from Hogwarts not long ago. ."

"A Muggle family? Are you sure?" Mrs. Graves looked at Dean carefully and couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. "Since you think so - I suggest you buy a copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", seriously. After reading it, you will find that there are many unexpected gains.”

"I happen to be going to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore soon." Dean accepted Mrs. Graves's suggestion obediently.

"Very wise." Mrs. Graves praised softly.

"You just said that the Prokos robe chose me?" Dean asked a little uneasily. He just pulled it casually.

"That's right. Once you read the description of the Invisible Beast in "The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", you will know that this is a gentle-tempered animal that likes to be quiet. When it is threatened, it will become invisible to the enemy. , so his hair can be used for weaving..."

"Invisibility cloak!" Dean blurted out immediately, and his eyes changed when he looked at Prokos' robe.

Unexpectedly, he only spent 5 galleons to buy an invisibility cloak. Even if it couldn't be compared with the invisibility cloak in Harry Potter's hand, which was one of the Three Hallows of Death, he still made a lot of money!

"It's not just that~ Otherwise we would just call it the Invisibility Cloak. Why do we name it after the Prokos Robe?" Mrs. Graves prompted in a persuasive way: "Think about it, why do we have to 'do something unnecessary'?"
