Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 198 Xianyu.com upgrade!
Many students and parents on the platform were looking at the group of six.

This made Ron and Jerry very happy, but Neville was not quite used to this situation.

Of course, he had been watched like this since he was a child, but now the eyes of the onlookers had changed, becoming more friendly and kind.

This made him feel much better.

In the past, those looks were full of scrutiny and suspicion. Even excitement would make Neville feel stressed. But now, he can bear it a little bit. His own strength and contributions have given him some confidence.

The little wizards also whispered to the parents about Ted's performance in school, for example, how he always got top grades and was a top student!

And he is very good at making things happen. If Ted doesn't make things happen during every festival, it would seem like the festival has been wasted.

The singing is also super nice, and I have never heard of many of the songs!

In short, Ted is someone else's child now.

If this happened in the past, if a family had such a child, it would mean that the family would rise again.

Now, many parents have told their children to spend more time with these six people...

……

Compared to last year's confusion and temptation, Ted has his own plans for this summer vacation.

Life is short, so why not be more unrestrained!
He had already arranged a lot of things before the holiday.

For example, the opening of Xianyu.com - certain adjustments were made this time.

"Mr. Giggs, how much is the other party asking?" Ted asked.

"840 Galleons, that's a bit high. After all, his shop is too small."

"It doesn't matter if it's small, 840 gold dragons is a bit high, do you think we can still negotiate?"

"Do you really want to buy it? Do you have enough money?"

"almost."

"Selling shampoo is so profitable?! Okay, I can help you negotiate, but the area is too small, there's nothing you can do, right?"

Mr. Giggs's concerns were correct. Although it was a street-front shop in Diagon Alley, the area was too small and there was not much that could be done.

Ted had also thought about this question and asked, "Do you think I can try to apply for the traceless extension spell?"

Mr. Giggs thought for a moment and shook his head. "It's not easy, unless you have acquaintances in the Ministry of Magic. And even if the application is successful, it will cost a lot just to find someone to cast the spell. With such a small space, how much can it be expanded? Wizards who are proficient in the space extension spell charge a lot of money!"

"Help me bargain, I'll give it a try..."

Ted soon contacted Mr. Arthur Weasley.

"Mr. Arthur, I would like to apply to the Ministry of Magic for permission to use the Traceless Extension Charm. I would like to consult you about the procedure."

"Ah! This is easy. My friend Old Jimmy is at the Department of Control of Magic Abuse. It's easy to deal with. By the way, do you want to make a space suitcase for easy use?"

"Ah, I want to buy a small shop and expand my space."

"Ah, buying a shop, buying... buying what?" When Mr. Arthur learned that Ted was going to be the boss, he felt very unwell.

Arthur: I'm not a good father, I'm not a good husband, I'm not competent!

Of course, this emotion only lasted for a dozen seconds. Both of them were the type of people who would rather let their money go than save it, and spend it all!

Of course, they also cultivated good sons like Ron and the twins who were determined to make money at a young age.
Ron: One bronze Knut stumps the wizard Merlin!
……

Due to the population and commercial prosperity of the magic world, it is not possible to carry out salted fish identification and online auctions every day.

So Ted decided to make a change. First he had to have his own shop.

He has now put up a sign and conducts centralized appraisal and auction every Saturday morning. He usually posts on the Internet for information exchange and small forum exchanges.

Ted bought a small shop not far from Mr. Giggs's pharmacy. It was really small, but it cost a lot of money. Fortunately, Ted now had a wide range of sources of funds.

From the share of acne-eliminating profits from the sale of gold to the share of smoothing shampoo, it was reasonable to come up with eight hundred Galleons.

This small shop is really not big, only 2.5 meters wide and 4.5 meters tall. If it were in the ordinary world, at most they could set up a stall to sell duck (rat) products, fried skewers, grilled chicken skeletons, grilled cold noodles, etc.

But this is the magical world!

Through Mr. Weasley's mediation, Ted obtained permission from the Ministry of Magic to use the Traceless Extension Charm to expand the store space.

He didn't hire anyone to cast the spell, he did it all by himself, and it took him three days to transform the store into a large store with a facade of only two meters but an interior space of more than 500 square meters!

He has the right not to make expired items invalid. Who gave Ted the ability to do so?
Ordinary wizards really can't do it. Even if they get the authority, they still have to ask a special wizard to cast the spell.

Even if they have learned this spell, they can at most expand the space in their wallets and suitcases several times, but not more.

But Ted's current level is equivalent to some elite wizards, and he spent some experience to upgrade the difficult spell of traceless extension to level 3. Then he used awakening, magic potion and other means to create a flagship store in three days!

Rights are not invalid with an expiration date. As a visitor from China who is obsessed with houses, Ted would rather expand his business to the extreme if he has the chance!

He even wanted to spend two thousand experience points to raise the Traceless Extension Spell to level 5 and build a three-story villa in the shop.

Finally, I finally convinced myself to keep a low profile...

Now, every Saturday, wizards with free time gather in Diagon Alley in large numbers like a market.

Then they flocked directly to Ted's "Salted Fish House" and first bought their favorite new snacks - made by the house-elves who were idle during the school holidays. Ted paid them a salary, which was equivalent to a part-time job.

You have to know that the elves didn't have any assets of their own before, they were pure proletarians~
Now, they can also use their wages to buy some of the things they want.

Although their hobbies are very strange, they always buy things like bed sheets, pillowcases, curtains, etc. Or spices and ingredients on the market. However, as long as personal hobbies do not violate public order and morality, we will not interfere with this.

The waiters were the house-elf Dobby and Jerry.

Dobby has been set free by Lucius.

He is considered an outlier among house-elves, one of the very few who is willing or even eager to leave his original family.

Now, Ted hired him for 6 Galleons a week, 25 Galleons a week.

In the original book, Dumbledore offered him 10 Galleons a week. Dumbledore was rich and powerful, so Ted definitely couldn't do it.

Salty Fish House had a well-dressed house-elf as a waiter, which was quite impressive. Many wizards were surprised when they saw it for the first time.

The wizards who came to join in the fun did not eat breakfast, but bought all kinds of food in the store. Then they sat at small round tables, eating and drinking while discussing the goods on sale, or the information that was selected and posted on the notice board.

The information is varied:

There are friends in the same city~
"Gentlemen of Great Britain, I sincerely seek friendship. Those who are interested please go to the Big Bird Bar, the address is ..."

The following message: "Me, me, me! I'm from South Africa!"

"No black ones!"

"Bleach~"

I have a spell to ask for advice~
"What should I do if I use the expansion spell in the wrong place? It's been two days and I can't put on my pants. It's urgent, waiting online! I'm asking for my friend! Seriously!"

"It is recommended that you seek medical attention immediately, otherwise there will be sequelae. Don't ask me how I know this, I have to go to Big Bird for a visit."

"Add borneol and mint to the distilled water essence, chill it, add the juice of Murtala's tentacle, and apply it evenly up and down. It can relieve the symptoms to a certain extent. Don't ask me how I know this. I have to go to work at St. Mungo's."

There are flying broom enthusiasts who request to join the organization~
"Rumor, rumor! It is said that the Firebolt designed by Randolph Badmore will soon be mass-produced!"

"You're out of date. I heard the Irish International Quidditch team ordered seven! It can accelerate to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds, and its brakes are amazing!"

"Say the price and make me give up!"

"A conservative estimate is over 500 Galleons."

"It's beyond the reach of a poor wizard like me. I'd better try to modify it. I want to buy a magic ash tree core!"

"Then you have to be careful not to get caught by the Ministry of Magic."
