Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 333 Spellcasting Technique Competition

Chapter 333 Spellcasting Technique Competition
After a week at Scarlet Moon Shop, Harry's initial excitement gradually wore off.

Although Diagon Alley remains as bustling as ever.

But after visiting it a dozen or so times, it can become quite boring.

Fortunately, Harry received replies to all the letters he sent.

Ron and Hermione arrived at 188 Diagon Alley on the same day.

"Wow~ Harry, you weren't lying, Moon really did open a shop!"

"Such a good location, that's amazing."

“Mount, I am willing to call you the strongest lion of Hogwarts.”

Ever since Ron saw the Crimson Moon Magic Shop, he has been constantly marveling at it.

A continuous stream of "Wow!" came from his mouth.

Even though Ron had seen many novel gadgets made by wizards.

Still curious, they asked Moon about each item in the shop.

Hermione's head swayed back and forth as Moon explained.

That's a wire bramble.

That's a rune engraving.

Hermione listened quietly, her little face full of surprise.

"Hermione, you're not angry at all."

Harry was already very familiar with everything in the shop.

After Ron expressed his admiration, he looked at Hermione with curiosity.

"Why should I be angry?"

"The strongest lion, you usually don't acknowledge that others deserve this title."

Hearing Harry say that, Hermione also thought about her performance in the previous school year.

"I might compete in academics, but in other things..."

Hermione stopped there.

Because she can't even describe how much impact Moon's opening of the shop has had on her.

Perhaps to ease the awkwardness, Hermione stopped paying attention to the merchandise in the store.

Instead, he walked to the hole in the wall on the right and knocked on the wall.

A small rectangular wooden sign hangs on the wall.

The wooden sign also had English words written crookedly.

[Bouncy's Home]

As the knocking stopped, Bouncy poked its little head out and looked at Hermione curiously.

"Hello, Bouncy, how was your summer vacation?"

"Chirp?" (Why are you disturbing my sleep?)

Bengbeng looked resentful.

"I knew you were doing well. Have you missed me?"

"Chirp?" (Huh?)

Beng Beng responded with a sentence, then looked at Moon blankly.

"Chirp!" (This two-legged creature doesn't understand speech!)
Hermione was unaware of Bounce's unusual behavior.

As she spoke, she took out a box of dried insects from her small purse.

"I knew you must have missed me. Look, I even brought you some food."

"Chirp chirp~" (Since there's something to eat, I guess I'm just missing you~)

Beng Beng quickly gave in.

Then he crawled out of the hole in the wall, climbed into Hermione's arms, and began to enjoy his meal.

Looking at the two people and the beast in the corner who couldn't talk to each other at all, yet were able to get along peacefully.

Moon could only smile helplessly.

After touring the first floor of the shop, the young wizards went up to the second floor.

Finding that no adults were following, Moon took out what he had prepared for Ron.

"This is what I promised you, 14 inches long, made of willow wood, with a unicorn tail hair core."

"This is... a magic wand?"

"of course."

"Wow, I take back what I just said. Moon, you're not the strongest lion, you're my favorite little lion."

As Ron took the wand bag, he instinctively wanted to kiss Moon on the cheek.

However, Moon immediately pressed down on his head, keeping Ron a meter away.

"Don't be so xenophobic, Moon, we're best friends."

"Friends are friends, but actions shouldn't be too intimate."

"Oh, you're such a spoilsport."

Watching Moon and Ron playfully bickering, Harry and Hermione laughed heartily on the sidelines.

Ron then held his wand tightly as he toured the rooms on the second floor.

After seeing Harry's room, Ron had a new idea.

"Moun, can I stay here?"

"Sure, but which room would you like to stay in?"

"Of course it's Harry's room. Your room is full of books and all sorts of magical experiment equipment. I don't want to be tied down by these things again during my vacation."

“Alright, as long as Harry is willing and your parents agree, you are welcome here anytime.”

"Oh, that's great."

Ron said something hastily, then went downstairs to ask his father for his opinion.

After watching Harry and Ron leave.

Hermione opened her small purse and handed Moon a thick letter.

"This is the information I've collected about spellcasting competitions. I hope it can help you."

"So much? Uh, thank you very much."

He watched as Hermione handed him a stack of documents that were over 10 inches thick.

Moon knew that this little witch must have put a lot of thought into his affairs.

Seeing Moon's expression, Hermione's lips curled up slightly.

"The records show that in previous years, most of the participants in this competition were sixth or seventh graders, along with some wizards who had graduated a year or two ago, so..."

Hermione didn't say anything more, but Moon still understood what she meant.

It's simply about being careful and not worrying about winning or losing.

"Don't worry, Professor Flitwick has already warned me, and he said my spell level is far beyond that of upperclassmen." To be honest.

Since we were able to bring materials from another world here.

Moon had also considered refusing to participate in the competition.

After all, the prize money of 100 gold and gold medals was no longer that attractive to him.

However, after opening the magic shop, Lupin offered many constructive suggestions.

One of these strategies is to expand sales channels by increasing the brand awareness of a store or a particular product.

Considering Moon's current situation, participating in the spellcasting competition is the most cost-effective and fastest way to become famous.

"Alright, since the professor thinks so, then you definitely can."

While the young wizards were talking on the second floor.

Lupin and Arthur Weasley were also chatting on the first floor of the shop.

As a wizard working for the Ministry of Magic, Arthur was very curious about all sorts of strange and unusual things.

According to Ron, his father spent most of his secret stash of money on these strange things.

"These glasses are amazing! They can see magical fluctuations so clearly!"

Due to his work, Arthur Weasley often had to deal with wizarding artifacts that had entered Muggle society.

However, sometimes these items are very inconspicuous and can be easily overlooked.

After discovering the advantages of monocular glasses, he suddenly felt that work wasn't so troublesome after all.

"That's right. In addition to being able to see the fluctuations of magical energy, these glasses also have the function of magnification and reduction. You just need to rotate the gears on them."

While Lu Ping was carefully introducing the products, he was also thinking to himself.

Although he has already sold several pairs of such monocular glasses.

But I still couldn't resist my curiosity.

How are these exquisite little gadgets made?

It's nothing like something from a British magical society.

"Want one, Senior Weasley?"

Seeing Arthur Weasley's conflicted expression, Lupin felt he should be able to close another deal today.

"Uh, let's forget it."

Arthur Weasley squeezed the wallet in his pocket and shook his head helplessly.

"You know my family situation. I still have five children to raise, and this pair of glasses costs 30 Galleons. I really can't afford it."

As Arthur Weasley spoke, he reluctantly took off his bullet screen glasses and placed them on the counter.

But as soon as he put the glasses down, he couldn't wait to pick them up again.

"Sigh! Never mind, I'll take one! Is there a discount?"

"Of course, parents of the boss's classmates get a 10% discount."

After reluctantly paying, Arthur Weasley accepted an exquisite wooden box.

"Because glasses are fragile, you can store them in a wooden box when you're not using them."

"Okay, I know."

Upon receiving the monocular glasses, Arthur Weasley felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

He recently spent a fortune to buy a Muggle-owned used car.

During the renovation process, many problems arose, forcing him to spend a lot of time resolving them.

Now that he has these glasses, he feels that all the problems are no longer problems.

"I never expected that the little lion would be so amazing, opening a shop at the age of twelve."

After putting the glasses case in his pocket, Arthur Weasley browsed the other items, unconsciously making admiring remarks.

"Yes, before I came here, I didn't expect that the boss would be such a young wizard."

Lupin gave a self-deprecating reply.

"He is indeed too young, but don't you think Mr. Scarlett looks more like a third or fourth-year student?"

Because he had children of all ages in the family, Arthur Weasley's impression of Moon was more specific.

"It doesn't seem to make much of a difference."

The two old lions, both graduates of Gryffindor, inevitably ended up talking about Moon.

However, after talking for a while, the two of them consciously shut up and intentionally or unintentionally changed the subject.

There is nothing we can do about it.

After all, compared to this, the blow that Moon dealt them was simply too great.

Hermione's parents weren't that open to the magical world yet.

The two of them didn't wander around Diagon Alley when they arrived; they simply sat on the first floor of Scarlet Moon Shop and waited for Hermione to come down.

However, these two ordinary people drank their tea rather quickly in an attempt to hide their nervousness.

Raul had to stand on the tea table, ready to refill Hermione's parents' tea at any moment.

Dengdengdeng.

Ron ran downstairs.

"Dad, can I stay at Moon's shop?"

"I don't think there should be any major problems."

From that day on, Ron stayed in the shop.

With like-minded friends by his side, Harry was in a much better mood than before.

Moon, however, remained immersed in the magical world as always.

Three days after Hermione left, Moon received another letter from Professor Flitwick.

"The letter said that participating in this competition requires the use of the [Disarming Spell]. Moon, have you learned it?"

"Yes, I know it. Professor Flitwick taught me a month before the exam."
