Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

As Mavis pushed open the shop door, a swallow made of light, radiating a milky white halo, swooped towards her, startling her so much that she leaned back.

“Welcome!” Vivian beamed, walking towards Mavis with a sweet smile, deliberately using a pinched, high-pitched voice. “Hello, beautiful, is there anything I can help you with?”

Hearing Vivian's greeting, the first to react uncomfortably wasn't Mavis, who was stunned at the door, but Anduin and Hog sitting at the counter. Both man and dog shuddered for no reason, finding it extremely awkward.

“Uh, I'm just browsing,” Mavis said, feeling a little overwhelmed by Vivian's approach.

“Of course, beautiful, feel free to look around. Today is the grand opening of our Silver Flash Trading Company, and all magical alchemical items are 50% off!” Vivian, as a professional, delivered this line in almost two seconds, then thoughtfully stepped aside to give the other person a clear view.

Only then did Mavis have the chance to carefully examine the entire shop.

Right in front of her were several eye-catching display cases, each containing exquisite gramophones, clocks, lamps, and other props. The soft light shining from above made the items look extraordinary.

In particular, the sphinx-shaped lamp was constantly emitting light birds, which were the ones floating in the air above the room.

The gramophone next to it had subtle magical纹路 flowing across its surface, giving it a sense of luxury. It also emitted a melodious sound, and on the black vinyl record in the center, there were actually light shadows of small animals, running around on the disc as it spun.

To her left was a row of vertical glass cabinets, with various accessories displayed at an angle, including pendants, bracelets, belts, brooches, and so on, all arranged on sloping velvet cloths.

Mavis could roughly tell that the display cases were arranged by style, with some being cute, some professional, and some exquisitely luxurious.

To her right were various small items such as gloves, pocket watches, clocks, and music boxes.

Beyond the display cases in front were numerous lamps, gramophones, and human-shaped targets of various shapes, and even a strangely shaped table with rows of neat squares stacked on it.

“Uh… let me say something first.” After looking around for a while, Mavis noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask her question, “Isn't this supposed to be a company specializing in tactical equipment? Why is it all this fancy stuff?”

After watching Anduin demonstrate the equipment that day, she had been extremely envious, especially of the protective gloves, human-shaped targets, and tactical vests, so she had come specifically to buy some to improve her strength. But no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see how these props were related to tactical equipment.

“So you're from the Ministry of Magic.” Hearing that she knew the details of the shop, Vivian immediately understood the other party's identity.

“Yes, I'm an Auror. I saw Mr. Wilson's demonstration of the equipment before, but these…” Mavis was dazzled by the props in front of her, and hesitated to speak.

“You're not mistaken, this is indeed a tactical equipment store, but as an alchemy workshop, we certainly don't just sell equipment. We also have many excellent civilian products, and we've also done some packaging for those tactical equipment.” Vivian pointed to Mavis's left, guiding her to the cabinet.

“These cabinets display the original communication amulets and defense amulets. They have powerful magical effects, and you can also choose your favorite accessory style, with cute children's versions and simple adult versions.

There are also exclusive couple's communication amulets. Look at this pair of phoenix pendants. It's our best-selling product. Not only is it well-made, but it also has a powerful communication effect. Would you like a pair to share with your lover? It will definitely win his love, only 32 Galleons, bring a pair of couple's amulets home.”

Introducing this Vivian seemed to think of something, "Oh, yes, you are the Ministry of Magic staff enjoy a special discount, as long as 26 Galleons can."

“Uh, I'm single…” Mavis stared blankly at Vivian, who could say such a long paragraph in a few seconds. Then she thought something was wrong. Wasn't a communication amulet 12 Galleons each? A pair would only be 24 Galleons, so how did it increase in price after adding packaging?

But it looks so beautiful. Although Mavis was a little confused, she was still attracted by the dazzling decorations in front of her.

“Being single doesn't matter.” Seeing the look in the other person's eyes, Vivian knew that this one was promising, “You can also take a look at this protective brooch, exquisite Occamy style, specially designed for ladies, choosing it only requires you 12 Galleons and 15 Sickles, don't miss this opportunity…”

Then, under Vivian's tireless promotion, Mavis had two defense amulets made into accessories, a brooch, and a string of pendants.

“Um, let me say something first, I came specifically to buy protective gloves and human-shaped targets, you see…” Mavis felt that she could no longer control herself. If she continued to listen to Vivian's promotion, she might just buy all these accessories.

“It doesn't matter, you can take a look at the next exhibition area, where there are human-shaped targets that you like.” With that, Vivian guided her to the display cabinet directly opposite the door.

“Look, the current human-shaped targets have four models, corresponding to children, teenagers, adult home use, and professional versions, according to the power value limit. Which one do you need?” Vivian briefly introduced the differences between each version to her.

“Just the adult home use version, my spell power should not reach above 200 points.” Mavis replied this time with satisfaction.

“Okay, since there's so much budget left on the human-shaped target, why not take a look at these magical gramophones next to it? Listen to how beautiful this music is. We've also launched seasonal version records. Each record contains 10 seasonal songs, and there's a buy-three-get-one-free offer for the grand opening!”

Mavis looked at the magical little people wearing cotton-padded jackets on the gramophone, skating around on the record as it spun. This should be the so-called winter version record.

“Huh? That's not right, let me say something first, why does the style of this gramophone look so familiar? Could it be made from Muggle items?” After watching for a while, Mavis noticed something was wrong. Because she was abandoned by her parents in her childhood and lived in an orphanage since she was a child, she was still very familiar with things in the Muggle world, and occasionally participated in activities in the Muggle community, so she immediately saw the problem with the props.
