[HP] I was the scroll king at Hogwarts

"Welcome, how many are there?"

"There are two more after that."

"Okay, please go this way."

Standing alone in the sweltering summer was already suffocating. Alice led the guests to their seats, wiped the sweat from their heads, and desperately wanted to cast a cooling spell.

As a Muggle street through and through, it was only a few streets away from the Leaky Cauldron, which made Alice miss the days of free casting even more.

It is too unreasonable to be able to use magic before officially entering school, but to be asked not to use magic outside of school after entering school.Although there is no problem from a security point of view, it does not even have the opportunity to review and preview.

"Thank you, Alice."

A strawberry sundae was placed in front of Alice.

"That's the benefit of working in an ice cream shop. The ice cream is enough." Friss blinked and motioned for Alice to go to the back kitchen to enjoy it slowly.She dropped out of high school and worked everywhere for a few years. When she saw Alice, she immediately thought of her sister, and she usually took more care of her.

Alice quickly thanked her, and ran to the back kitchen with the sundae in her hands.Passing by the counter, I couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and even my steps became much lighter.

"Hmph." Di Luke at the counter naturally saw Alice's movements, and his face twisted in distress at the thought of the price of the sundae.

Diluque has been running this ice cream shop for decades, and everyone who knows him praises Diluque as a nice person and better at making ice cream.It's just that he has a shortcoming, that is, he is too frugal.

It sounds frugal at best, and stinginess at worst. There may be a reason why Di Luque is still single in his old age.

Among other things, there are not many women who can bear the fact that their boyfriend has to settle even a penny with them.

Fris gave Alice ice cream again, and it was a sundae!He must find a time to have a good talk with her, and he can't rely on his time as an old employee to be so inconsiderate.

Diluc looked at the newspaper, forcing himself to ignore the pink sundae.

Being able to enjoy free ice cream in the store was also one of the conditions provided when recruiting. In addition, Alice was very measured, only eating one or two a day, and did not only pick expensive ones like the previous temporary workers.At this moment, it was hard for him to say anything.

Glancing at Alice's sweat-soaked back, Diluc turned his attention to the newspaper in his hand again: "If you want to rest, rest well, and come out to work as soon as possible after eating. We don't care for idlers."

"Yes!" Alice grinned, knowingly didn't say much to provoke the boss, and ran into the back kitchen in a hurry.

It is said that it is the back kitchen, because it is an ice cream shop, so there is no oily smoke.There are lemons, ice cubes, etc. in the room, and there is only Karen, the ice cream maker, so it looks extra cool.

"Is Alice coming to rest?" Karen greeted Alice, her hands kept moving, and she sliced ​​a lemon into several thin slices in just a few seconds.

Karen just passed her 20th birthday this year. She had excellent grades, but she dropped out of college because she couldn't afford college fees.

It is rare for a young man of this age to calm down and work, let alone work in a small ice cream shop.But Karen is different, his goal is very clear.

"Your sundae is even better!" Alice dug a spoonful of the sundae into her mouth, and narrowed her eyes happily the next moment.

Sure enough, the food made by happy people is happy.

"How's the money going?"

"Happy soon, I can take over Molly in a few months." Karen scratched his head and smiled silly, as if he had already seen a beautiful life in the future.

Molly, Karen's girlfriend, made a living doing housework for other people in another district.The two have been talking for two years and plan to get married recently.

Molly didn't ask for any conditions, but Karen was not happy. In his opinion, his lover deserved a better life.

"When the time comes, I'll buy the little house at the end of the street, and Molly won't have to share with other people anymore."

"Do you really want to buy that house?" Alice couldn't help shivering when she thought of the rumors she had heard in the past few days.

According to others, the house has "taken" three owners.

The first homeowner was a veteran who died of natural causes at the age of 98, which can be regarded as a joyous mourning.

It's just a little strange that the homeowner died after that.

The second homeowner was a single mother.Oddly enough, a single mother bought an entire house out of pocket during the recession.

After the mother moved here, her young children didn't even go to school.

It was such a strange pair of mother and son who disappeared inexplicably three years after moving in.

The third homeowner was an eccentric through and through.He looked only in his twenties but was thin and pale, reclusive like the previous homeowner.

One day a few months ago, the neighbors found that the weird man hadn't gone out for a week, and they called the police out of concern.

The policemen came very quickly. When they entered, they were full of confidence and then came out, but they were all terrified.

Within a few days, everyone got the news that the owner of the house had died, and the death was extremely tragic.

"Those rumors are too exaggerated." Karen disdainful, anyway, he has also studied for a few years, and is a firm materialist, "Vampire's vengeance has come out."

"After all, it's about life safety, so it's better to be careful." Alice suggested that although she didn't believe those outrageous rumors, the house was indeed a bit evil.

"I'll pay attention." Karen shrugged. "I went to the police station and they assured me that there is nothing wrong with the house. And it's really cheap, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Alice stopped persuading her.

The sundae was almost eaten.Alice took out a thick "Illustrated Book of Natural Biology" and waved to Karen to read the book.

"It's so easy to learn!" Karen said with emotion, he had to study for a few minutes of rest, which reminded him of his high school days.At that time, he studied hard, got excellent grades, and dreamed of becoming a rich man and galloping in the mall.

Unfortunately, the dream eventually lost to reality.Karen shook her head and concentrated on making shaved ice, not disturbing Alice's study anymore.

In fact, Alice is not so perverted, and the gap between part-time jobs is used for studying.The rest time is inherently short, and using it for learning will only consume energy and reduce learning efficiency.

Alice looked down at the book, her brows were tightly frowned, her mouth was slightly pursed, and her serious expression seemed to be studying some world problem.

If only there wasn't pink parchment sandwiched between the books.

[Dear Alice:

Are you going to work during the holidays?What a pity.

next year!You must come to my house to play during the holiday next year.Mom and Dad have talked about me several times. They first suspected that I forced you not to come to my house to play, and then they suspected that I broke up with you.

If you don't come to my house next year, according to my parents, I won't have anyone to learn from.

Without someone to learn from, I will only be scolded worse, such as "Let you play more with good students, and see if you still look like a student now."

Also, regarding your instructions, after all, it is the fifth grade, and I also know the priorities. I will definitely study hard this holiday, and I will not even leave the house!

yours,

Carrie]

"There are guests, why don't you come out to work soon?" Di Luke's angry voice came from outside, and Alice, who was reading the letter seriously, trembled in fright.

"Here we come!" Alice closed the book and put it in the bag at lightning speed, and Alice stood up and ran outside.

In the kitchen, Karen was unmoved, and her hands did not shake when cutting lemons.They all said that it was not easy for Diluque to be so old, and he didn't know how long he would live, but as far as he was concerned, it would not be a problem to live for more than ten years.

"This is the professionalism of an ice cream master!" Karen looked at a row of lemons of equal thickness and wiped his hands with satisfaction.

The new customers were a young couple, "the most luscious" according to Diluc, and Alice also thought that this type of guests was the best to entertain.

After all, men and women in the period of passionate love will not waste their attention on other people.

"A treat!"

Seeing Alice coming out, Diluc glared at her, and stuffed a thick menu into her hand.

Feeling the unreasonable weight of the menu in her hand, Alice couldn't help twitching the corner of her mouth.For her, the biggest gain of the holiday is not money but the rapid increase in knowledge.

Who would have thought that a small ice cream shop would have two menus?The font in Alice's hand is different from the menu used in ordinary stores from the outside to the inside.

If I want to describe it, it is similar to that used in high-end restaurants, and every detail exudes a luxurious atmosphere.

Of course, the content of the menu does not live up to its appearance, and the price of each item is three times the normal price.

In short, this set of menus can be said to be a limited edition exclusively for taking advantage of.

When seeing this unusual menu for the first time, Alice's first thought was "Have I ever been taken for a ride before?"

"Welcome!" Alice greeted from a distance in order to avoid seeing the wrong picture.

The couple in front of them snuggled up sweetly with their backs to Alice, and they reluctantly separated slowly when they heard the sound.

"This is our menu, guests can take a look first." Alice's voice was as sweet and enthusiastic as ever, but it was a pity that her suddenly froze smile made the picture less harmonious.

"I think you sound a bit like a friend of mine."

"..."

"I think you can look up." The girl's boyfriend said.

Carrie paused while flipping through the menu, and then showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Hi! What a coincidence, Alice."

"It's quite a coincidence." Alice was expressionless. "I didn't expect that the person who said 'I will study hard and never leave the house' would come out to eat ice cream."

Carrie's expression became even uglier: "It's too hot, the ice cream is cooling down."

"I didn't expect you to talk about a boyfriend." Alice turned the menu to the gold-plated page, "If you think it's hot, you can order everything on this page. After all, your boyfriend should be quite rich."

The inspiration comes from a friend D of mine. D has a friend A. A has been passionately pursued by a boy for a long time. Out of curiosity, D asked A for a question, and the answer he got was "Nothing, I won't agree."

That night, D bumped into A holding hands with that boy
