Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

So this so-called assessment is just like a customer asking a vegetable seller if their vegetables are fresh. This makes Anduin even more confident about modifying Muggle items. It's simply a natural protective umbrella! Indeed, having Layasir as an investor was a brilliant decision.

After completing the product rating, Anduin returned to the shop and rearranged the storefront again.

This time, he had so many products that the original meager 30 square meters of space couldn't accommodate them all. After all, the various accessories derived from the defensive charms alone numbered in the dozens.

To this end, Anduin had to expand the front shop space, extending it to more than 50 square meters, and then, following Vivian's suggestion, arranged the shelves by function.

At the same time, the shelves were no longer simple display racks like before, but were made like those in jewelry stores, with accessory products placed in various glass cabinets, lined with luxurious velvet underneath.

As for products such as lamps, gramophones, music boxes, and clocks, the most exquisite piece was selected from each category and displayed in a separate display case, with lights shining on them from above, below, and both sides, making them look exquisite and beautiful.

Furthermore, at Vivian's insistence, Anduin also displayed the magical mahjong set and its accompanying magical mahjong table.

Thus, Anduin's alchemy shop, after a thorough renovation, reopened.

And he continued to employ Vivian, letting her help out in the store as a salesperson for a while. After all, it would be a waste not to use her mouth to sell things.

To this end, Anduin also promised her a 10% sales commission. At the same time, he also asked Qi Qi and Hogg to come and help.

Of course, saying it was 'helping' was actually because Anduin wanted Qi Qi to learn sales from Vivian, and Hogg to learn accounting.

After all, school would be starting in half a month, and he would have to stay at Hogwarts for a while before he could come out. By then, he would have to rely on the two of them to take care of the shop.

Meanwhile, Qi Qi's surveillance of Aselia continued, but there was no special progress. The three pairs of tactical boots remained together and did not separate.

Aselia's daily activities were also quite regular. She went to work at the Ministry of Magic during the day, and after work, she returned to her home in Godric's Hollow. She had no spouse, no lover, and not even many friends, living a life like a Puritan.

But this discovery made Anduin even more certain that there was a problem. The lack of progress now might just be because the time wasn't right yet, so he had Qi Qi install extremely concealed magical surveillance devices outside her home.

This would make it easier to conduct remote monitoring, and real-time tracking could be carried out when the other party showed any unusual movements, saving Qi Qi from having to run there and brave the wind all night.

...

Just as Anduin's shop had just been renovated and reopened, it attracted the attention of a lady strolling in Diagon Alley.

This young woman had delicate features, a Chinese face, and wore a fitted cloak, indicating that she was an Auror working in the Ministry of Magic.

"Mavis, long time no see. The signature potion you bought from me last time worked well, right?" Anduin's neighbor, Mrs. Primpnell, was tidying up her shop sign at the door and immediately greeted the woman with a smile when she saw her.

"Hello, Mrs. Primpnell. The previous potion was effective. The acne that grew from staying up late at work has all disappeared," Mavis said politely to the beauty shop owner.

"Would you like to come and browse my shop again? I have new products recently, with first-class whitening effects and can eliminate fatigue. Look at you, you work so hard at the Ministry of Magic, your dark circles have deepened," Mrs. Primpnell knew that this female Auror was wealthy, and she began to promote her new products with a rosy complexion.

"Is that so?" Mavis was a little tempted, but was soon attracted by the shop next door. "Let me ask you, do you know what's going on with the shop next to you? It wasn't open when I came a few days ago."

When Mrs. Primpnell heard her mention the shop next door, she immediately showed a sneaky expression, mysteriously leaned close to her ear, and whispered:

"You mean that alchemy shop? It's opened by a rich second-generation. I guess he's just doing it for fun. I've known its owner for several years. At that time, he inquired about the shop next door to me. Who knew that he would really take it over not long after."

"But after that guy took over the shop, he has been living in seclusion and raising an annoying big dog. I originally heard him say that he wanted to open an alchemy shop, but there was no movement for several years. Then guess what, this shop suddenly opened half a month ago."

"But if you open a shop, you have to have something to sell. However, there are only a few broken props in his shop. Not only do they look broken, but the prices are also ridiculously high. As a result, it closed after only one day. I guess its owner also knew that his level wasn't good enough."

Mrs. Primpnell put on the face of a street market auntie, gesturing exaggeratedly to Mavis.

Hearing Mrs. Primpnell's explanation, Mavis frowned. She knew this shop, it was the alchemy company of the combat hero Anduin, the equipment supplier of the Ministry of Magic.

She was also there when Anduin was demonstrating the equipment, and at that time she was very interested in several of the props. It's just that she had been here several times before, but the shop had not opened, and she couldn't get in to buy anything.

Moreover, this shop in front of her didn't look like it was about to close down. Thinking about it, Mavis looked at Mrs. Primpnell with some suspicion.

"That's not right, let me ask you, do you mean this shop is closed? But look at the shop, it's decorated with lights and decorations, it's completely a lively scene."

After hearing Mavis's words, Mrs. Primpnell turned her head in confusion. She had just come out and hadn't even noticed the alchemy shop next door.

And this look almost made Mrs. Primpnell's eyes pop out.

She saw that the alchemy shop was brightly lit even in the daytime, and the windows were filled with various beautiful objects that she had never seen before. And in the inner room, several small birds composed of light were flying, and many light balls like elves were floating up and down next to them.

"Merlin's beard! What's going on with this... this shop? Mavis, believe me, it didn't have so many fancy things a few days ago," Mrs. Primpnell said with a dumbfounded expression, and then immediately defended herself to Mavis next to her.

But Mavis looked at her expression with increasing strangeness. You don't know your neighbor next door? The light in this shop is almost spraying out, don't be jealous of other people's business.

Mavis shrugged at Mrs. Primpnell, then walked past her and went straight into Anduin's alchemy shop.
