Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Hearing what sounded like an argument coming from the front hall, Glenn stood up and called Dearborn to come and have a look.

When the thieves and liars who were drinking and bragging heard the commotion, they put down their glasses and listened.

They were already prepared, so that if the person in the front hall came to settle a score with them, they might as well slip out of the back door as soon as possible.

It is precisely because this place is safe enough, the environment is comfortable, and the stolen goods can be quickly disposed of, so these guys gradually regard this place as the most suitable base.

Glenn and Dearborn made their way through the crowd of people peering into the front hall of the store.

Many wizards gathered here to watch the fun, and Carmichael was standing in the crowd patiently explaining something.

As a boss, he would naturally not allow these troublemakers to wander into the backyard.

Not to mention whether doing this will make those people lose trust in him. Even if it doesn't, if the public discovers that the backyard of this store is full of thieves and liars, who would be willing to continue to patronize such a store selling stolen goods?

What about black shops?

"Impossible! I clearly saw that person disappear from the wall of your shop. It must be a secret passage!"

Opposite Mr. Carmichael, a slightly familiar shout came.

Glenn was stunned for a moment, then walked through the crowd and came to the place where the dispute occurred.

Sure enough, they are acquaintances.

Life for the Malfoy family is getting worse and worse.

"Mr. Malfoy, although this place has only been open for a few years, the regular customers know that we will never do any deception. How can we provide shelter for a dirty thief?"

If it was an ordinary wizard who came to ask for an explanation, perhaps the crowd of onlookers would wait and watch for a while longer and listen to what both parties had to say instead of jumping to conclusions.

But this time it was different. It was the Malfoy family, and most people subconsciously thought that this was a deliberate act of causing trouble.

Mr. Carmichael looked as usual, with a clear conscience. On the other hand, Master Draco was incoherent and his pale face turned red.

Seeing this scene, everyone made judgments one after another, whispered, and from time to time quietly pointed at the Malfoy family.

Before the incident around Christmas last year, ordinary people would not have dared to ridicule the Malfoy family so blatantly, but now, everyone is eager to step on them in retaliation for the family's previous arrogance and domineering behavior.

Disdainful.

Lucius Malfoy listened to the harsh sounds around him, glanced around with a cold face, gritted his teeth, and said to his son: "It's just a few hundred galleons. Draco, let's go!"

"

Obviously, Mr. Malfoy, who is used to being aloof, simply can't stand ordinary people making irresponsible comments like this. In fact, if Draco hadn't insisted, he wouldn't have even wanted to come here, even if he didn't care about the situation at this time.

For him, these galleons are already a large amount.

Draco looked at Mr. Carmichael angrily, seemingly unwilling to do so.

"Hurry up! Don't you think we are embarrassed enough?" Lucius said loudly again, and then turned and left without waiting for his wife and son to react.

Narcissa Malfoy looked at her husband who was quickly walking out of the store and her son who was blushing, sighed, and took Draco with her to leave.

After the previous conversation in the Hogwarts principal's office, Glenn was supposed to provide some help to the Malfoy family, but there were many people in the store at this time. If he spoke rashly, once the news reached Voldemort's ears, the family would be

The situation may become extremely dangerous.

Therefore, not only did he not stop the three people from leaving, but he started teasing: "I really didn't expect that the overbearing Malfoy family back then would actually come to blackmail a small second-hand store. It's really ridiculous."

Hearing his unabashed voice, the onlookers turned their heads and saw that it was the young master of the Ollivander family who spoke, and they all laughed in agreement.

With the Malfoy family leaving, order returned to the store, customers continued shopping, and the queues formed again at the pawn counter.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Glenn whispered a few words to Mr. Carter.

Under the arrangement of Mr. Carmichael, an employee pushed open the door and walked out of the store, chasing the Malfoy family in the direction they left.

In addition to the backyard, this seemingly ordinary store also has several special rooms that can be entered from the secret passage in the outer wall without entering the main entrance of the store.

Soon, the Malfoys, led by their staff, met the three Glenns in one of the secret rooms.

"Why did you ask us to come back and continue to listen to your humiliation?" Draco's face was not good-looking, obviously he had heard what Glenn had laughed at them in the store before.

Before Glenn could speak, Lucius scolded him: "Don't be so rude, Draco. Mr. Ollivander didn't mean what you meant by those words."

As expected of Lucius Malfoy - a man who traveled between the Ministry of Magic and Voldemort's camp, but still thrived. He obviously did not view problems as simply as his own son.

"It's just a small cover-up, so as not to arouse Voldemort's suspicion." Glenn smiled slightly and explained briefly.

Draco was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused.

"Little Mr. Ollivander called us back, can you help us find the money?" Narcissa Malfoy hesitated for a moment, knowing that her husband was embarrassed to speak frankly because of his face, so she simply took his place for him.

asked.

"Of course." Glenn nodded, "Can you please briefly explain the situation? Mr. Carmichael still has some friends in Diagon Alley."

"That's it." Draco said hurriedly, "Last summer vacation, I went to Borgin Burke with my father to store some...things left by the Dark Lord. Unexpectedly, some time ago, the Dark Lord suddenly mentioned those things again.

For black magic items, we can only go back to Bo Jin to get them back."

"What kind of dark magic item?" Glenn frowned slightly and asked casually.

If it was something Voldemort specifically requested to retrieve, it might have some connection with his subsequent plans.

Draco didn't seem to know about this, and just said vaguely: "Probably just old books, and some potions and the like."

Glenn nodded thoughtfully and asked, "If you just wanted to get something, why did you come here?"

"That guy asked us for hundreds of galleons in storage fees." Draco said angrily, "We managed to collect so much money, but as soon as we entered Knockturn Alley, someone stole the money.
