[HP] King of Slytherin

Excuse me..." The little girl stood timidly at the door, hesitating.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" The boy with half-length blond hair showed a friendly smile, "Welcome to Lihen Bookstore. I think you need a new set of textbooks for Hogwarts?"

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, she showed a shy smile, and said, "Yes, I mean, I need all the first-year Hogwarts books... Trouble."

The blond boy neatly prepared all the bibliographies, tied them with thick ropes, and then shouted: "Jim, come and do me a favor, cast a shrinking spell on this stack of books."

A tall brown-haired man hurried over, shrunk the tall stack of books, and then hurried away.There are really many customers in the store.

"One Galleon and two Sickles."

As if waking up from a dream, the little girl took out a few shiny silver coins from her pocket and handed them to him, then put the stack of miniature books in her pocket.

"Thank you." She smiled.

"You're welcome," the blond boy blinked, "I'm also a student at Hogwarts."

The little girl looked surprised. She hesitated for a moment, and summoned up her courage to say, "I am Astoria Greengrass, senior, thank you." She has long golden curly hair and curled eyelashes Trembling slightly, she has cute little dimples on her cheeks when she smiles, like a Barbie doll popular among Muggles.

The blond boy was stunned and laughed: "I also know a Greengrass, your hair color and eye color are different, I didn't notice it."

"You know Daphne?" Astoria's eyes widened.

"Yes, old friend." The blond boy showed a warm smile, "When you see Daphne, remember to say hello to me."

"Randall! The manager is looking for you!" Jim yelled in this direction.

Hyland smiled helplessly at Astoria, and said, "Just take a look. There is Gilderoy Lockhart's book signing today. There are a lot of people, so be careful."

Astoria stared blankly at Hyland's back, and murmured, "You haven't said your name yet..."

The manager rubbed his head, which was about to crack, and sighed wearily.He had had enough of such hasty days!I really don't know what's so good about that Gilderoy Lockhart. From a teenage girl to a gray-haired old woman, it's like being under the Imperius Curse. When they hear about him, they flock to it. came rushing over.

"Manager, I heard you were looking for me?" Hyland's clear voice came.

Seeing him, the manager felt a little relieved.This pretty young boy is a temporary worker this summer, because he was only 12 years old, and he was still reluctant when he was first hired.But after just a few days, he was so happy from ear to ear.

Hyland is courteous, patient and meticulous in dealing with things, and always humbly asks for advice when encountering problems that he does not understand. Coupled with his good looks, as long as he has dealt with him, no matter whether it is an employee or a customer, no one dislikes him.

"You came just in time. Those goblins from Gringotts ordered a batch of books from me some time ago, and agreed to deliver them today. But you can also see that the store is so busy that there is no time for it. I see... just Please run away."

Gringotts is a bank run by goblins. Although wizards can also deposit money here, it does not mean that those short and ugly goblins will have the slightest affection for wizards.On the contrary, they are happy to make things difficult for the wizard in some details.

"This book seems to be a bit worn out than what we want." The little goblin said sharply as he stroked the cover of the book with his thick fingers.

"And here, the writing is blurred. Our request is intact, sir, do you understand the meaning of intact?"

"And there, there are actually wormholes, which is simply unforgivable! And there are still two!"

……

Two hours passed, and Hyland's face became darker and darker. He couldn't bear it any longer. He patted the goblin's counter and said with a smirk, "Sorry to interrupt, but I don't know what your request was when you subscribed. what exactly is it?"

The goblin Lala raised her bulbous eyes and said slowly, "Our request is to find a copy of "On Bloodlines" written three centuries ago..."

Hyland interrupted him again: "Then is this the book you requested?"

Lara said unhappily: "Yes, but in terms of details we..."

Hyland said bluntly: "Very well, according to the treaty, we have fulfilled the terms we promised, but now it seems that Gringotts does not seem to want to fulfill your promise. So can I think that Gringotts intends to breach the contract , no longer pay gold coins? If this is the case, please hand over the compensation, after all, we spent a lot of manpower and material resources for this book, and we need compensation."

Lala's eyes instantly stared like wheels. He couldn't believe how the human wizard in front of him dared to be so shameless.

Hyland smiled slightly, his eyes crooked: "Oh? Gringotts doesn't even plan to pay compensation? It turns out that the so-called century-old reputation is nothing more than that. It seems that I need to be with those who save money in Gringotts Let's talk to each other." He bites the last few words angrily.

Lala's stubby fingers were trembling, and he almost screamed, "You're talking nonsense! Gringotts didn't break the contract!"

Hyland said with a smile: "Ah, is it? But the delivery time we agreed on is coming soon!"

Lala gave him a hard look, as if she wanted to imprint his image in her mind, then quickly took out a stamp and stamped it on the receipt.

Hyland took the receipt, looked at the fresh red seal on it, smiled with satisfaction, bowed gracefully, and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, and look forward to the next cooperation."

Lala turned around angrily, he never wanted to see this nasty wizard cub again!

Quickly returning to Lihen Bookstore, Hyland stood at the door in surprise.

The originally small door was blocked by the crowd without a single gap.Numerous women with flushed faces looked into the store with bright eyes, shouting "Gidero" loudly.And Jim, who was standing at the door maintaining order, was so busy with sweat that he kept wiping his shiny forehead with a handkerchief.

"Randall!"

Hyland looked back to see Harry waving at him.

"Oh, Po...Harry, Ron, are you here to buy Lockhart's book too?" Hyland walked over and asked curiously.

There was a look of unnaturalness on Ron's face, but Harry said happily: "Randall, haven't you read this year's book list? We need to buy the complete set of Lockhart's books."

Hyland curled his lips and said, "Then it's a coincidence that you came here. Today is that Gilderoy Lockhart's book signing event, but basically all the women who can walk are here."

Harry and Ron glanced at the endless line and agreed with him very much.

Ron said with a depressed face: "I don't know what's so good about Lockhart. So many people like him...even my mother is a loyal fan of Lockhart. Hermione just went in. If Harry didn't see you, We went in too."

"What books do you need to buy? I bought them for you." Hyland thought for a while and said.

Harry hurriedly said, "This is too much trouble for you."

"No trouble, I'm working here now, and it's also my job to serve you." Hyland laughed.

"But you're only 12 years old." Ron opened his mouth.

Hyland smiled reservedly: "Age is not a problem, is it?"

Ron murmured: "It's so cool! I'm sure I can make a lot of money. But my mother won't agree." He looked at Hyland with envy and surprise.

It turns out that Slytherin can also work part-time, which is really unexpected.

Harry looked at Hyland carefully, but hesitated to speak.

"Harry?"

"...Won't your family be upset?" Harry stammered, "I mean, if you work here all holiday, you won't have much time to stay at home, right?" His expression was tangled, It seems that he is trying his best to be subtle, but he is afraid that he will not be able to express his meaning.

How could those arrogant and incredible guys in Slytherin tolerate family members as handymen?

Hearing his words, Hyland looked brightly and melancholy at 45 degrees, and the villain in his heart burst into tears.

Do you think I want to come to work?Would I come to work if I had no money?

Do you think I don't want to sit comfortably at home and read a book?Master, I ran away from home!

A year ago, Hyland secretly left home and embarked on a journey to find Grindelwald.In order to reach Hogwarts, along the way, his little savings were spent. By the time school started, there were only a few pieces of clothes he usually wore and three Sickles left.

Fortunately, Hogwarts is a school that does not charge tuition, board and lodging fees, which allows the cash-strapped Hyland to survive this financially difficult year.

But it wasn't until the end of the first grade that Hyland suddenly realized that he didn't even have a single bronze Nat on him.That is to say, he didn't even have the travel expenses to go home.

In desperation, Hyland dragged his luggage to the Leaky Cauldron.The owner of the bar, Uncle Tom, is a kind man. He saw Hyland's embarrassment and promised to let him live in it first, and then pay for the room when school was about to start.

Afterwards, making full use of the sweet talk and pretty face, Hyland was finally lucky enough to find his first job—a clerk in Lihen Bookstore.

Despite the sadness in his heart, Hyland still looked serious on the surface.

"I'm already this old, so of course I have to support myself in life." He said righteously, with a dignified expression on his face.

Harry and Ron glanced at each other, both seeing shame in each other's eyes.

"Well, Randall, we'd better go in with you. Hermione just went in, and we can't leave her alone." Harry thought for a while and said.

Hyland shrugged indifferently: "It's up to you."

He took Harry and Ron into the store door, causing the people in the queue to shout in dissatisfaction.

Jim standing at the door hurriedly explained: "This is the staff of our store." He winked at Hyland, motioning him to go in quickly.

The three squeezed in quickly.
