Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

Chapter 483 Negotiating the price

I have to say that Fred is still very discerning.

The store he was interested in was No. 93 Diagon Alley, which is where Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes opened in the original book.

You know, even in the days when Voldemort's shadow shrouded the entire wizarding world, and the disappearance of old Ollivander and Florin Fusco made everyone in wizards in danger, this place was still bustling with people, just like the only one in the gray world.

color.

Of course, the location of the store is only a small part of the reason. The main reason is that their products are simply irresistible.

"What? Want to rent this place?" Glenn patted his shoulder and asked.

"It's indeed very tempting," George said, "but we definitely won't be able to pass Mom's test. She won't be able to agree to us leaving Hogwarts early to start a business."

"Yes." Fred also sighed, "She hopes that we will finish our studies honestly, get...ts certificates, and find a decent job."

"Just like idiot Percy." George couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Oh, by the way, you probably don't know about that guy. He had a falling out with his parents..."

"Don't ever mention him in front of mom and dad, we've already told Harry," said Fred, "because every time he mentions his name, dad will smash everything in his hand to pieces, and mom will scream loudly.

cry."

Glenn was slightly surprised. Although this scene happened in the original novel and Percy had never appeared these days, he didn't think much about it.

After all, after Crouch's big incident, Percy's work experience has been completely different from that in the original work. In addition, he has shown a good impression of Lockhart, so it stands to reason that he should not switch to Fudge's camp again.

"So what happened?" Glenn asked.

"Percy had a big fight with his dad because he was promoted..."

Fred briefly explained that the situation was similar to that in the original book. Fudge suddenly and inexplicably promoted Percy to his senior assistant, the same position that Lockhart had received when he first came to his side.

His purpose was obvious, he just wanted to use Percy to spy on Mr. Weasley and report all his previous contacts with Dumbledore.

Percy has always been a fan of officials, which has been quite obvious since his school days.

"When Dad told him his suspicion that Fudge was just using him to spy on our family, the guy went crazy." George said, "Lockhart was there at the time, and no one expected that he would

To turn against someone like that, you know, he has always respected Lockhart..."

"Anyway, that's it..." Fred sighed, "He said he wanted to be loyal to the Ministry of Magic and that Dumbledore would be finished sooner or later, and then he packed up and left."

"Okay..." Glenn spread his hands, "No wonder I haven't seen him for so many days. I thought he had some extra tasks..."

George sneered at this: "Extra tasks? Just him? Let me tell you, even if he joins the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore wouldn't dare to assign any tasks to him. It would be great if that guy doesn't hold everyone back!"

At this time, Harry and Mrs. Weasley walked out of the Owl Shop. The twins immediately stopped talking and winked at Glenn.

"Okay," Mrs. Weasley took out her notebook and crossed out a line, "it's time to go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore."

Glenn hesitated for a moment and then said: "Oh! By the way, Mrs. Weasley, I suddenly remembered that I have to go to the store opposite. They plan to sublet it, and there are some things to explain."

"This..." Mrs. Weasley hesitated slightly.

"You guys go ahead. I won't waste too much time here. Qiu knows what textbooks I need. Just help me get a set."

"But Mad-Eye specifically asked us not to separate...and you are acting alone..." Mrs. Weasley still felt uneasy.

Glenn immediately continued: "If it doesn't work... let Fred and George accompany me? The three of us together can handle it even if we encounter trouble."

"That's right, and George and I only have one new textbook this year, which is the Slinka textbook. It's the same for every grade. You can just buy it for us." Fred also said.

"Then...okay..." Mrs. Weasley reluctantly agreed, but couldn't help nagging a few more words, "Come to us quickly when you're done. You two are not allowed to run around. If you are caught,

I caught you secretly buying those messy things, I promise..."

"Don't worry, Mom! We're not going anywhere!" George pushed her around.

When everyone gradually walked away, Fred breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up to Glenn: "That's a great idea, Glenn! We finally got rid of them. Where should we go now? Go back to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink.

How about a cup?"

Glenn glanced at him with a half-smile, shook his head, and then pointed to the sublet shop across the street: "I'm not lying, we'll go there."

"Where to go?" The twins looked confused.

Glenn didn't explain, and asked the two of them to cross the street, come to the door of the shop, and knock on the door.

This used to be a souvenir shop, specializing in selling some exquisite gifts and travel souvenirs. However, the shop has been cleaned up at this time. There is nothing on the window except sublet advertisements. The interior of the shop can be seen through the brightly polished glass.

Rows of glass containers are neatly arranged inside.

When someone knocked on the door, the crystal chandelier inside was quickly lit. A middle-aged wizard in neat robes opened the door and invited them in.

"Oh! It turns out to be little Mr. Ollivander!" He recognized Glenn at a glance and was slightly surprised.

Glenn has been a street kid in Diagon Alley for so many years, so he naturally knows his identity: "Hello, Mr. Thayer, long time no see."

The two exchanged a few words, and Glenn explained his purpose.

"If I remember correctly, isn't this store running well? Why do you suddenly want to sublet it?" he asked.

Mr. Thayer sighed and explained: "Isn't it because of the news about the mysterious man? Although the Ministry of Magic is still trying to cover it up, I believe in Dumbledore's judgment, so I plan to sublet the store while the market is good now.

Go out and join the family branch in the United States."

Regarding his family, Glenn had some impressions. Isolt Sayer, the founder of Ilvermorny, the largest magic school in North America, came from this family.

"This is a wise choice, but what's your psychological price?" Glenn asked.

"These decorations were just completed last year. In fact, I am a little reluctant to part with it, so the price..." Mr. Thayer said subconsciously, "If you want to take over this store personally, Mr. Ollivander, I think you should

If not, forget it..."
