Hogwarts: This wizard wants to improve too much

It is October, the first weekend, and it is the long-awaited Hogwarts Day.

Unlike the cold and rainy days some time ago, today's weather is particularly sunny, although there is still a little wind.

Coming to the hall for breakfast, the little wizards gathered in groups of three or two to talk about something, unlike in the past when they were all sick.

After this month, the fifth-year little wizards can be said to be exhausted, and today they can finally relax.

Just like the first day, after a new class, the professors will put some pressure on the class and use more than fifteen minutes to emphasize the importance of O.W.L.s exams to the whole class.

For example, these exams may affect your future for many years to come!

If you haven't seriously considered your career, you should think about it now.

In order to ensure that you all perform at your level, I'm afraid we all have to work harder than before!

Without serious study, practice and application, you will not be able to pass the O.W.L.s exams.

The little wizards are so tired of hearing these words.

Along with this comes a huge amount of homework for each subject.

The first four years can be said to be a classic happy education, with few courses and little learning pressure. There is also plenty of time to play wizard chess and Quidditch. This year, there is a big reversal.

What Fred and George said was that many little wizards collapsed under the pressure every year. This is really not nonsense.

In this month alone, Ethan has seen several people who lost control of their emotions, but they are mainly concentrated in Hufflepuff.

After breakfast, the little wizards above the third grade began to line up in front of Filch's "One Two Seven". He had to check their names against the long list, which listed the students whose parents or guardians allowed them to visit Hogsmeade Village.

Ethan, Cassandra and others also gathered there.

When it was Ethan's turn, Filch just passed by.

But Ethan found that when Filch passed by some students, he obviously sniffed hard, as if he wanted to smell something from them.

Since it had nothing to do with Ethan, he didn't pay attention to it.

After Filch finished his inspection, everyone boarded the Thestrals and headed for Hogsmeade.

With such a short distance, with the strength of the Thestrals, it didn't take long to reach the destination.

"Where are we going first?"

Ethan asked casually after getting off the carriage.

Anyway, I basically spent the whole day with them in Hogsmeade, so I didn't need to buy anything here.

"The Writer's Quill Shop!"

Hermione said without hesitation.

"Where are you going?"

Ethan was a little confused.Turning to look at Hermione.

When they came here in the past, they would first go to places like the "Fengya Brand Wizard Clothing Store" to see if there were any new products recently, or if there were any popular styles from other countries.

When they were in the second grade, because of Lockhart's wizard duel competition and the Quidditch World Cup later, they all made a lot of money and had no shortage of money, so they went in to buy things.

"We are different from you. We have to do homework for every subject. Now we have to buy ink and quills."

There are really too many homeworks recently. The ink brought before school started is almost used up, and several quills are broken.

When she came to Hogsmeade today, Hermione wanted to replenish it.

As for Ethan, because of his good grades, the things taught in class were basically useless to him, so Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick exempted Ethan from his homework. In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Umbridge also assigned some tricky homework, but in order to avoid Ethan, she exempted Ethan directly.

Not only that, Hermione also knew that Ethan didn't do the remaining homework well at all. He used the quill pen he invented a few years ago to directly copy his roommate's homework.

The quill pen would also make some changes in it, which also led to Ethan being the most leisurely one in the fifth grade.

Although she was very disgusted with this behavior, Hermione thought about Ethan's grades and didn't have the courage to say anything.

After all, a person who copied homework every day had better test scores than you, and the teacher liked him more. What courage do you have to preach to him and let him study hard?

"Okay, let's go to Wenrenju Feather Pen Shop first."

Ethan can go anywhere anyway.

This shop is right next to the main road in the village, and the location is quite good.

When Ethan and others arrived, there was a witch welcoming guests at the door, and several little wizards had already arrived inside.

After entering, Cassandra, Hermione, and Qiu Zhang all went straight to the stationery area, where there were some ordinary inks, feather pens, parchment, etc.

In addition to ordinary stationery, there are naturally some high-end goods for collection or for the rich.

Ethan and Luna went there.

"Ethan, what do you think of this?"

Luna asked with great interest while holding a bottle of ink, as if she had found something very interesting.

Ethan took the bottle of ink and looked at it carefully.

"Invisible ink, suitable for writing diaries, do you want it?"

"Yes!"

Luna nodded vigorously.

Ethan also put it away directly.

This invisible ink is not a high-end product, and a simple manifestation spell can break it.

But it is enough for my own use.

By the way, Ethan can also go back and study it and make a more advanced one

Or the other way around, it is normal ink when used, but after a certain period of time, the ink will be invisible and cannot be restored. In this case, it is probably the style that Fred and George like.

Imagine that fifth or seventh grade students who stay up until midnight to finish their homework, and when they turn it in the next day, it is all gone. How devastated they will be!

"Ethan, this one suits you very well."

Soon Luna came to Ethan again with an extremely gorgeous feather pen, and pretended to insert it into Ethan's chest pocket.

But this feather pen is pink.

Is it really a tough guy with a flirty pink?

Ethan felt that he was still a little overwhelmed and quickly refused.

"How about this one?"

After putting the pink feather pen back, Luna picked up another lime green feather pen and inserted it directly into her hair.

Lime green is a color between green and yellow. It has a bright green tone, while retaining the warmth and vitality of yellow. It is quite popular.

But, Luna, are you sure you are not hinting at something?

"Not bad!"

After receiving this evaluation, Luna happily pulled Ethan to continue shopping, and the feather pen was directly inserted into her head without taking it off.

Ethan could tell at a glance that this feather pen was made of the feather of the evil bird.

This material is widely used in potions.

It's just that now it is made into a feather pen, and the price is more than twice as expensive as what Ethan saw in the potion store.

Not only the evil bird, Ethan also saw feather pens made of feathers of magical animals such as the soundless bird and the divination bird, but unfortunately there was no phoenix.

In the Wenrenju Feather Pen Shop, Ethan and others did not stay for long.

After all, this stationery store is not very big.

When Ethan and Luna paid for the selected quills and inks and went out, Hermione and others were already waiting outside.

Next to the quill shop in the literati residence is the Zonko joke shop, where Ethan saw Fred, George and Lee Jordan.

They were standing at the door of the Zonko joke shop talking about something.

Today, Fred is not going on a date with Angelina?

Ethan remembered that George had spent Hogsmeade Day alone in recent years.

Seeing Ethan coming out of the quill shop in the literati residence, Fred took the lead in saying hello.

"Ethan, I just mentioned you."

Ethan asked curiously:

"What about me?"

George spread his hands and said helplessly:

"It would be great if you were in our grade."

"By the way, how about we go for a drink now?"

"Now?"

Going to drink early in the morning, until they were adults, now they don't need to sneak to buy alcohol in the pub, but they are notDrunkard bar.

"Of course, or do you want to go shopping with some beautiful ladies now?"

"Fred and the others must have something to tell me, go shopping by yourself, and if you have any questions, you can send me a message using the wizard mailbox."

Ethan made the decision immediately. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

After saying goodbye to Cassandra and the others, Ethan came to Fred and the others.

"Where are we going?"

"Pig's Head Bar!"

Following Fred and the others, we turned into a small road next to it, and there was a small bar at the intersection.

The tattered wooden sign hung on the rusty bracket on the door, with a picture of a chopped wild boar's head on it, and blood stains soaked through the white cloth wrapped around it.

As he approached, the sign creaked in the wind.

Ethan had been to this bar before, when he first came to Hogsmeade Village.

Want to see the legendary Hog's Head Inn opened by Dumbledore's brother0......

After satisfying his curiosity, Ethan never went there again.

Unexpectedly, he was brought here again by Fred and others today.

Completely different from the Three Broomsticks, the Hog's Head Inn has only a small, dark, and very dirty room, which exudes a strong smell of sheep.

There is thick dirt on several bay windows, and light can hardly penetrate. Some candles are lit on the rough wooden table.

The ground looks muddy at first glance, but when you step on it, you will find that it is actually a stone floor, but it is covered with dirt for centuries, which gives people such an illusion.

It seems to be even dirtier than before.

In addition to Ethan and his friends, there are several other guests here. []

It was their attire that was quite different. For example, the guy at the bar had his entire head wrapped in dirty grey bandages, but he could still pour one cup after another of something smoking and flaming through a gap in the bandage on his mouth.

Two hooded figures sat at a table by the window, and a witch sat in a dark corner by the fireplace, with a thick black scarf hanging down to her feet.

Seeing that there were customers coming, the bar owner Aberforth also came over from the back door, mumbling to Ethan and the others.

"What do you want?"

"Four bottles of butter beer."

Hearing this, Aberforth bent down and took out four dusty and dirty bottles from under the counter and placed them heavily on the bar.

"Eight Sickles."

Fred handed over the silver coin, and after Aberforth took the money, he put it into an old wooden cash box, and the drawer slid open automatically and swallowed the money.

Carrying the dirty bottle, Ethan and others found a table in the corner and sat down.

This is why Ethan no longer comes to the Hog's Head.

It's okay if the environment is not good, but there are stains on the bottle, how can you drink it?

Do you have to bring your own wine glass when you come to the bar?

After sitting down, Lee Jordan unscrewed the rusty cap of his bottle of butter beer and took a big sip.

And Ethan dug into his dragon skin pocket and took out a bottle of amber wine.

This was the gift Ethan brought when he went to Delacour's house to pick up Fleur during the summer vacation. At that time, he asked Lucius Malfoy to prepare it, but he prepared a little more.

Usually, Ethan rarely drinks, but now it comes in handy.

Then Transfiguration brought a silver wine glass and condensed a few ice cubes in the wine glass, and then poured the amber wine into it.

The wine glass came from Transfiguration, but the ice cubes were not. They were condensed by Freezing.

Even though Ethan's Transfiguration points are full now, the basic rules of Transfiguration still need to be followed.

Unlike the wizarding world who likes fire whiskey, Ethan prefers to add some ice cubes.

Fred looked at the glass in Ethan's hand, then looked at the dusty and dirty bottle of butter beer in his hand, and immediately pushed it aside with disgust.

"Give me a glass!"

"There's still 5.3 for me!"

"Can I say I want it too?"

Seeing this, Ethan could only give one to each person.

Aberforth at the counter looked at this scene with wide eyes, looking at several people unkindly, his chest was also violently heaving, as if he was quite angry.

"Hey, kid, you are not allowed to bring your own drinks here!"

If this is the case, will he still do business?

After taking a sip, Ethan looked towards the counter and said:

"We ordered drinks, right? If we don't drink your butter beer later, it will be returned to your hands. You will still make a profit."

Aberforth was so angry that his beard blew up, but he still held back.

It was a heresy, but he couldn't kick them out...

"Do you have anything to say?"

After sending the boss away, Ethan asked about the business.

"It's nothing big, I just want to hear your opinion, where should we open our joke store next year?"

"Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley?"

They didn't worry about the funding at all, but they hadn't decided where to open the store.

Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade are both good locations.

The former only does business during the summer and Christmas holidays. When Hogwarts opens, there is basically no business.

The business of Hogsmeade Village is better on Hogsmeade Day. On weekdays, there are some owls delivering goods, but not many.

The competitive pressure is similar. Hogsmeade Village and Diagon Alley both have a joke goods store. They don’t care much about this. They believe that their products will be the most popular.

But they haven’t decided where to open the store yet. There are pros and cons in both. .
