Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

#337 - Poor acting skills (asking for monthly recommendation tickets)

Azealia?

Anduin looked at the woman walking into the store with some surprise. He didn't expect that this person, who had just stolen something from here yesterday, would have the nerve to come over early the next morning.

No wonder people say that criminal suspects always like to return to the scene of the crime. It's simply a golden rule.

Azealia, who walked into the store, felt like she had been struck by lightning.

What did she see? Shouldn't Anduin be studying at Hogwarts right now? Why would he suddenly return to the store?

This unexpected discovery even made her freeze at the door.

The reason why Azealia ran over was partly because last night's experience made her feel a little uneasy, especially after learning that the 'Thunderbird' was going to deal with Silver Flash Trading Company, a trace of guilt arose in her heart.

On the other hand, she really liked many of the products sold here. When she came over in the early hours of the morning, she had already taken a fancy to many ornaments. At that time, she didn't dare to touch anything because she didn't want to spoil the scene.

But she could totally come over and buy them during the day. After all, it wouldn't cost much money. If she missed those favorite ornaments, it would be troublesome if the 'Thunderbird' destroyed this place one day.

"Azealia?"

"Azealia?"

"Ah?" Azealia took a while to react to Anduin's call, and then shouted blankly.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly standing there?" Anduin asked with a curious expression.

But in his heart, he was constantly complaining. This person is too unprofessional. Before, he just thought she was a little silly, but now he can only describe her as stupid.

"Oh…" Azealia finally reacted at this time, and then quickly adjusted her face, "Sorry, I always thought you were studying at Hogwarts? I was a little unresponsive when I suddenly saw Mr. Wilson in Diagon Alley."

"Ah, is that so? After all, I still have businesses outside the school. It's not easy to get the business going now, and I always can't help but think about it when I'm at school, so I applied for early departure."

"Speaking of which, you really have a fate with my store. The last time we met in the store was not long after I opened, and this time I just came out of Hogwarts not long ago, and I saw you again," Anduin said with a smile as he looked at her.

"Oh, is that so? That's really a coincidence."

After listening to Anduin's words, Azealia felt cold sweat running down her back.

In other words, if she had come a day later, wouldn't it have been possible to run into Anduin while sneaking in?

"By the way, your complexion doesn't look very good. Didn't you rest well last night?"

Anduin was simply pouring salt on the wound. As soon as he mentioned last night, Azealia was startled again.

"Uh, that's true. I've been quite busy these days, and I'm really not in good spirits." Azealia felt that the smile on her face was extremely stiff, but she could only bite the bullet and perfunctorily reply.

"The Ministry of Magic is really busy. To be honest, it's better to come out and do business like me." Anduin also said a few polite words following her words, and then said, "By the way, today doesn't seem to be the weekend, do you have to go to work at the Ministry of Magic?"

"That's right, the Ministry of Magic has been working overtime for the past two days, and I even stayed up all night the day before, so I can take a day off today." Azealia didn't lie about this, so she responded quite naturally.

"Is that so? What kind of work requires staying up all night? You guys didn't go out on field missions, did you?" Anduin asked, pretending to be curious.

"Uh…" Azealia felt like she was going crazy. Why does this Anduin keep asking about these things?

"Sorry, there are rules in the Ministry of Magic, so it's not convenient to talk about this." Azealia was too lazy to be polite with Anduin, and used the Ministry of Magic to prevaricate.

"Hmm! Hmm!" Anduin gave her an understanding look, and then asked curiously, "I understand, I understand, you don't need to tell me the specific details, but how do you feel about my equipment? Is it very useful?"

Useful, just because it's too useful, you're about to die because of it.

Azealia really wanted to roll her eyes and say this to Anduin, but she still restrained herself.

"This, you still have to ask the colleagues in the Auror Command. After all, I'm not a front-line combatant." Azealia felt that the fake smile on her face was about to collapse today.

Fortunately, Anduin didn't continue to embarrass her on these issues, but instead took the initiative to change the subject.

"You really don't look well. Would you like to take a look at the gramophone in my store? The melodious music can sometimes relieve fatigue. It just so happens that our store has recently launched a new Christmas album record." Anduin led her to the location where the gramophone was placed, and then introduced fluently.

"Oh, is that so?" Azealia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Anduin finally stopped mentioning those topics that made her tangled.

"But I still want to look at the jewelry next to it first."

Azealia hadn't forgotten the few favorite pieces of jewelry she had been thinking about, and walked straight to the jewelry display area.

"Okay, no problem, please feel free to look around." Anduin accompanied Azealia with a smile.

Watching her pick out a few pieces of jewelry with a clear goal, Anduin couldn't help but complain in his heart, don't you think your behavior is very abnormal? You're only here for the second time, but you're picking things so accurately. Your performance is too obvious.

At this time, Azealia was completely immersed in the appreciation of her favorite things, and very nimbly picked out several props, and then ran to the gramophone area to look at the records.

"Is this the Christmas album you just mentioned? Can I listen to it once?"

The reason why Azealia acted so quickly was actually because she instinctively wanted to quickly buy what she wanted and then slip away, so as not to continue staying here and reveal flaws.

But now that she saw the records she was interested in, she couldn't help but want to listen to them once. She hadn't seen this record last night.

You're quite familiar with this, and you even know there's a place where you can listen to it. Anduin narrowed his eyes helplessly, and then said with a warm smile:

"Want to listen to it? No problem. You may not know it after so long, but we have a special listening room here. You can also try on the jewelry you picked out earlier. It's in the back, please come with me."

After being subtly pointed out by Anduin, Azealia also realized that she seemed to be a little too familiar with this place, and then immediately put on a surprised expression, looking as if she was very surprised that there was such a place.

Even Hogg, who was sitting bored on the counter, could see the abnormality in Azealia's clumsy acting, and couldn't help but sneeze awkwardly.
