Hogwarts: Storm Chaser

Chapter 159: Hogwarts Huimin Shop

In order to make it easier for children to clean the toilet, Professor Flitwick changed his teaching plan and included the "Cleaning Spell" in the syllabus.

Of course, this is only for students in second grade and above.

First-year students still focus on studying textbooks.

So they need to clean their own toilets manually, or lose college points.

However, they don't necessarily need to do it themselves, they can use magic manipulation tools to clean it up.

As the holidays come, Sofia also plans to leave the UK.

After returning to her clan once, she planned to travel around the world.

Before leaving, she planned to fill the storage feathers on her chest with electrified vegetables and flamed vegetables, as well as a series of delicious snacks.

Flame Baixian has been cultivated by Professor Sprout a long time ago, and has been expanded and cultivated to a certain scale.

The professor plans to sell it together with the electrified fresh flowers, but he does not plan to sell the whole plant, only the white fresh essence made from it.

Their research found that electrified fresh vegetables are very effective in treating injuries caused by some black magic.

Flame Bai Xian focuses more on wound healing, and its effect on damage caused by black magic is far greater than that of ordinary Bai Xian.

Ralph also planned to take advantage of this free time to return to his family's place and visit his younger brother Aiden who was far away in Africa.

Weird ptarmigans like Ralph are also rare.

After leaving the nursery, Thunderbirds will basically go to the clan area.

Some were asked by their parents to go, or they went back directly with their parents;

Some of them were confused about the future, so they simply followed the guidance of their bloodline and went to visit the clan.

However, Ralph's departure was postponed, and Sophia also stayed in the Forbidden Forest for a longer period of time.

The reason is that the Hogwarts Benevolent Store opened in Hogsmeade.

The elders in the village didn't know what they were thinking, or they were bewitched by newspapers such as the Daily Prophet, so they actually bought the hardcover version of "Professor's Notes".

And each person has one copy, which is terrifying.

From time to time, Ralph had to answer questions from his neighbors.

Even though he stayed at home, neighbors would come over when they were free and take the opportunity to inspect his studies.

Not to mention going to the store to help them.

But fortunately, Ralph was just a freshman at Hogwarts who had just finished his first year, so the content of their questions was limited.

However, when Feather Avatar faced this wave of questions, it was inevitable that he would be a little unable to turn around and consume a lot of magic power.

Constantly searching for answers in the stored memory, the feather substitute couldn't hold on for even an hour.

However, the most miserable person in Hogsmeade is not Ralph, but Emily.

Mrs. Romestad's child was by her side. Although she had graduated from Hogwarts, it did not affect her interest in asking questions at all.

It is conceivable that it has been several years since I graduated from Hogwarts, so how can I still remember those things?

Emily ushered in the most miserable period of her life.

Not only did he have to tremble and rack his brains to answer Mrs. Romestad's questions, but he also had to bear his own mother's anger from time to time.

"This is first-year content! You don't know how to do it! Emily, do you know what the difficulty level of the professors at Hogwarts is for this question? It's only two stars!"

"..."

Emily could only remain silent, lowered her head, and endured the training tremblingly.

‘First grade? History of Magic is the same level of difficulty for me in all grades!’

She wailed in her heart.

Perhaps she was worried about her child's knowledge, so after asking Emily for three days in a row, Mrs. Romestad rushed to the Hogwarts Benevolent Store to buy a "Exercise Booklet."

At that time, Filch happened to be the cashier.

He informed Mrs. Romestad that the "Exercise Booklet" would be distributed to students at the beginning of the school and she did not need to purchase it. It was placed here to prevent students from accidentally losing it and having no homework to do.

"Mr. Filch, you don't know that my daughter has graduated five years ago. I asked her using "Professor's Notes" these days, but not many people know. This is terrible..."

In this way, Mrs. Romestad talked endlessly to Filch.

It evolved from not being able to answer the question to what to do if I can't get married in the future.

While talking, Mrs. Romestad was also frightened by herself and hurriedly bought a "Exercise Booklet" for every subject in every grade.

"Chenghui, 8 gold galleons and 8 silver siko."

Filch skillfully used the price calculator on the cash register to calculate the price.

This is a price calculation system developed by Professor Flitwick. It is very simple.

He assigned each product a number and imported it into the system.

Each number corresponds to a price, and the price consists of numbers and currency.

At the same time, a price conversion template is set up. For every 29 copper naps, one will be transferred to Silver Sicona. The same goes for every 17 Silver Sicans.

For example, the number of all "Exercise Booklets" is "8", and the price is "2" "Yin Xi Ke".

Mrs. Romestad bought "Exercise Books" for all subjects in the whole grade, a total of 72 books.

Filch's operations are:

Number: "8"

Quantity: "72"

confirm.

The price corresponding to the number "8" is "2" "Yin Xi Ke", and the total quantity is 72.

There are a total of 144 Silver Sikes, divided into the boxes below the Silver Sikes, and every digit of 17 is placed in the box below the Gold Galleons.

The final picture presented is:

Copper Nat:0

Yin Xi Ke: 8

Gold galleons:8

So, a total of 8 Galleons and 8 Sickles.

Mrs. Romestad hurriedly paid the money, and walked back quickly with some excitement and impatience.

Some witches who were buying condiments here heard these words and began to worry about the life-long events of their sons or girls.

'What if my child is rejected because of insufficient academic knowledge?'

It was scary to think about it. They looked at each other silently and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

These days, Miss Romestad in the Three Broomsticks bar is quite tired and melancholy, which makes people pity her just looking at her.

Everyone knows the reason, and many teenagers have suffered the same fate as Emily.

Therefore, in recent days, many young people come to the Three Broomsticks bar to drink.

Before "Professor's Notes" was published, the Hogwarts People's Benefit Shop was a favorite place for many young wizards.

There is not only a delicious but cheap magic drink called Alefford, but also a variety of beautiful plants growing in the backyard.

Like the name Alloved, it has been loved by wizards as soon as it was put on the shelves.

The way it needs to be opened by gently shaking has attracted a lot of fans. Many young wizards like this unique way of opening.

They even developed different ways of shaking the bottle and competed secretly.

Of course, the original way to open it is also retained, you just need to draw a circle or something near it with the wand.

Older wizards are not interested in the way it opens, they are more obsessed with its taste.

That was the past that haunted them.

Due to the characteristics of Aleford, it will change itself according to the will of the magic input by the wizard, making itself the flavor it loves most.

Therefore, many older wizards always think back to the past.

Another characteristic of Aleford is that after drinking it, the body will release a fragrance, which varies from person to person.

Considering that some people may not like this, Professor Sgrughorn also added a candy to it to relieve this state.

The sugar is on the drink bottle, very convenient to take.

There is also a short, fat witch in the backyard of the shop. She is so kind. She smiles and gives the children some small fruits from time to time, which taste very delicious.

The backyard is quite large, surrounded by a wooden fence. From the outside, it is half the size of the shop in front.

But the actual space is larger. During the construction, the professors had already cast the [Invisible Stretch Spell] to widen the internal area of ​​the entire shop.

The backyard is where Professor Sprout sells some plants that are not suitable for placement in the shop, and is also where some plants are stored.

There are various colors of juncos, compost pitcher plants, light-absorbing shrubs, luminous vines, etc.

If you are not satisfied with the plants placed for sale in the store, you can choose to go to the backyard to select plants, but choosing by yourself will cost an additional 1 silver siko.

But many people still enjoy it.

For edible fruit plants such as light-absorbing shrubs and glow-in-the-dark vines, the seedlings sold in the shop are 2 gold galleons cheaper than the adult plants in the backyard, which is 1 gold galleon.

The reasons were also shown in pictures and text at the booth.

After the sale, the Hogwarts Benevolent Store cannot guarantee whether the mature fruits of the young plants will be as desired.

The mature plants are released for sale after being selected, and the taste and function of the fruits can be guaranteed.

The so-called "booths" are stone platforms based on Professor McGonagall's demonstration of gemstones.

There are magic patterns drawn on it, and a layer of resin prepared by Professor Sgrughorn is applied on the outside. It is white and smooth, and looks good.

There are four booths in total.

Three are inside the shop and one is in the backyard.

The first floor of the store is divided into three areas according to goods.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a booth. Behind the booth is a shelf selling "Professor's Notes" and "Exercise Booklets".

The booth displays the usage of "Professor's Notes" and the usage of the "Corner Bottle Automatic Recycling Area" on the left hand side.

As long as you put the corner bottles in the corresponding area, the system will automatically identify the number of corner bottles, then take away the corner bottles, leaving the corresponding number of copper nats in place.

The recycling price of 1 corner bottle is 5 copper nats.

Only half of this booth is for demonstration usage, and the other half is for updating the system, which is used to update the hardcover version of "Professor's Notes".

It’s just that this feature is not available yet.

On the right side of the door, there is the cashier counter. There is a window on the side wall, followed by a staircase to the second floor.

The cashier counter is longer, connected to the stairwell by a fence door, and there is a tall lamp plant at the foot.

The lamp grass is about 1.5 meters tall and was specially cultivated by Professor Sprout.

There is a flower blooming upward on the top, with a white ball of light suspended on the flower, illuminating the surrounding area.

At the same time, at the junction of each leaf and the main stem, a small flower will bloom, droop, and hang a small ball of light of the same color.

The whole lamp grass is very eye-catching.

In addition to cashiering, the cashier also has two reservation functions.

One made an appointment with Professor Sgrahorn to brew a specific potion, and the other made an appointment with Professor Sprout to treat the plants at home.

Since the business just opened, all the plants sold are still healthy, so no family has made an appointment with Professor Sprout for the time being.

On the contrary, Professor Sgrughorn's reservation quota was gone early.

There is no way, since Hogwarts' potion resources are no longer in short supply, Professor Sgrughorn rarely goes out to take on private work.

This has directly led to an increase in the prices of many potions. Not only are the prices high, but the quality is also poor.

The shelves of "Exercise Booklets" and "Professor's Notes" are in the center of the store.

Behind it, on the left and right, is the area where potions are sold.

This area also has a booth in the middle, demonstrating the drinking method of Alfredo, the use of various flavor enhancers and flavor crystals.

During this period, anyone who purchases blank flavor enhancers will receive a free user manual from the Hogwarts Huimin Store, which will indicate the specific usage amount.

The shelf for flavor enhancers is behind the stairs, and there is a magic armor below the stairs.

The armor was polished and polished, as if it had been oiled.

These magic armors are not just decorations, they have monitoring and anti-theft functions.

The shop is divided into three parts, with the middle and left parts occupied by books, cashiers and potions.

However, the part on the right, except for an automatic corner bottle recycling area, is dominated by plants.

Contrary to what Professor Sprout expected, both composted pitcher plants and fruit trees were very popular.

Almost all wizarding families purchased these plants.

However, some wizard families have no interest in composting pitcher plants, and instead buy many adult fruit trees and lamp plants.

The professors had also anticipated this phenomenon and had already formulated countermeasures.

They have limited the number of fruit trees each family can purchase. Each wizard family can only buy up to 10 light-absorbing shrubs and 5 luminous vines.

If you buy a young plant and the quality turns out to be poor, you can choose to pay 10 silver siko and exchange it for an adult plant at the store.

The bulrush is just a decorative plant, so the professors didn't care about it.

The effect of light-absorbing fruits is well known.

It is limited every day and sells out every time, and some people ask for help to buy it a second time, a third time, etc.

These professors have no control over it. Anyway, each person can only buy 500 grams a day, which costs 3 silver sickles.

As for selling it at a high price, let them do it.

In addition to these, fertilizers are also sold in the plant area. This is a long-term business, unlike those plants that are disposable.

This is roughly the situation on the first floor of the shop. The prices and usage of various products are displayed on the booth.

The second floor is where shop staff rest.

There will be professors on duty here to facilitate handling of some emergencies.

There is also a disappearing cabinet here, which is a pair with the disappearing cabinet in the Room of Requirement, connecting Hogwarts and the shop.

This greatly facilitates the school's staff.

The Vanishing Cabinet was found by Professor McGonagall when she was cleaning out the Room of Requirement. When she found it, there was only one.

Dumbledore went in personally and found another cabinet in Borgin and Burke's magic shop.

Under the shocked eyes of his boss, he walked out directly.

This frightened Mr. Borkin.

Although he always wanted to find where the other cabinet was, bring it back, make a pair, and sell them at a high price.

But in this situation, he could only pray to God and ask Dumbledore to buy it at a low price.

Dumbledore was embarrassed and refused many times, so he finally had to buy it for 10 gold galleons.

This made Mr. Borgin breathe a sigh of relief, and he felt deep disgust in Dumbledore's eyes.
