A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 379 Train Shopping Carnival

As a wizard who had been "eaten" twice by Avada Kedavra, Harry had a lightning bolt scar on his forehead.

One left and one right,

They form a mutually supporting triangle.

But he was very distressed after the locked room incident.

At night, lying on the cold, hard bed, Harry tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Ron's snoring was incessant, the grinding of his teeth kept a rhythm; Neville's sleep talking added to the atmosphere, and Rafer's croaking was loud and clear.

I finally made it to the middle of the night, but all I dreamed about were scenes of William and Tom fighting.

In other words, after the secret room incident, he no longer dreamed of Qiu at night; instead, he dreamed of William and Tom's two incredibly handsome faces.

However, Harry's picture was incomplete, and the sound he received was intermittent.

For example, William clearly wanted Tom to kill Harry.

Harry inexplicably misheard "kills" as "kiss"... and it became: "Don't say anything, kiss Harry!"

This is very embarrassing.

William and Tom were fighting in the secret room, using magic wands. If you change the wording, it becomes a group activity, and they were fighting with bayonets that were even more bloody!

This made it difficult for William to explain. Did he want the Dark Lord to kill Harry, or did he want Tom to kiss Harry?

Just then, Professor Lupin arrived. Seeing that Harry was awake and holding a potion, he smiled and said:

"Great, drink it quickly. I was thinking of giving you some chocolates too. But a stimulant would be even better... Who gave this to you?"

"I always carry some potions with me, Professor Lupin," William said.

"Oh, of course!" Lupin exclaimed. "Mr. Stark has surprised me time and time again today."

Professor Snape must like you a lot, right?

William was completely baffled... Who did Snape like?

"And Miss Granger... Few wizards your age can cast the Patronus Charm... Who taught you, Professor McGonagall?" Professor Lupin asked again.

Hermione blushed and said, "William taught me..."

Lupin gave a knowing smile and winked at William.

He thought Hermione's protective magic was nothing special, but it turns out she was just being low-key.

Lupin suddenly realized that the pressure at work was immense. The high mortality rate was one issue, but the students were also incredibly talented.

This makes his prepared lessons a bit too simple; he needs to increase the difficulty.

After all, judging from William and Hermione's observations, these young wizards probably have a very solid foundation in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course!

It seems that although the previous professors may have had some minor personal issues, they were still quite good teachers!

Just then, a commotion arose at the door; another group of young wizards had come to buy things.

After the two attacks, the number of students coming to shop suddenly increased.

William keenly sensed this was a golden business opportunity, and with a wave of his hand, he announced on the spot:

Everything is 15% off today! Buy more, get more free gifts! We're having a clearance sale at a loss!

The twins immediately mobilized their online army, led by Lee Jordan, and shouted slogans:

Stay angry, go on a revenge spending spree, and bankrupt Akali's Mystery Shop!

To this end, William also introduced an installment payment plan.

With just a tiny transaction fee, you can enjoy high-quality products ahead of time... William is cultivating the concept of advance consumption!

So a long queue stretched from the locomotive to the back of the train.

Daphne borrowed a lot more pocket money, preparing to go all out. Astoria also wanted to buy some things to make William lose money, preferably bankrupt him.

Yes, William has lost so much money, he's almost become a Muggle!

Cedric and Cho put on aprons and became shopkeepers, and a small sign for Akali's Mystery Shop was hung at the door of the carriage.

Penelope, the senior student who is the president of the female student council, is working hard with the prefects to maintain order and encourage people to shop in a civilized manner without crowding.

Penelope's actions were entirely voluntary; there was absolutely no "money-for-sex" transaction involved between her and William.

That's right, William didn't give Galon anything; he just sent some "worthless" alchemical products.

As for Percy, who opposed selling on the train, for some reason, after the twins visited him, he suddenly got diarrhea and had been squatting in the toilet ever since.

Professor Lu Ping was speechless.

He recalled that even though they, the raiders, were so outrageous back then, they didn't seem to have ever done anything like selling things on a train.

Looking at those huge sums of money coming in... these really are the younger generation!

Professor Lupin saw the Hogwarts map for sale, asked for one, and then returned to his carriage.

Luna is teaching Anne and Ginny how to make wind chimes from seashells.

Soon, Annie hung the wind chime she had made on Crookshan's head.

Crookshanks didn't like it, so Hermione snatched the wind chimes away, happily turning them into her birthday present.

Seeing that the three little ones had nothing to do, William had them dress up as bear mascots and dance in the carriage as mascots.

One Gallon can be obtained in an hour, which makes Ron, who is short of money, envious.

This train shopping spree continued until evening.

Qiu did some calculations and found that the daily turnover was even more than two normal months.

William decided to have a shopping spree on the train every time school started.

At this time, students have just started school and have the most pocket money, making them ideal for stimulating consumption.

After tallying up today's profits, the train finally stopped at Hogwarts Station.

It was so cold that the old platform was frozen over, and the rain was pouring down.

"First-graders, come here!" a familiar voice called out.

After William, Hermione, and Anne got off the train, they saw Hagrid's imposing figure at the other end of the platform.

He was beckoning to the panicked first-year students, offering to lead them on a traditional lake-crossing trip.

Crossing Black Lake in this weather would be an absolute disaster.

"William, Hermione..."

Hagrid saw the three of them and suddenly burst into tears. He choked out, "I received your letter... Norbert... he..."

Hagrid pulled out his 50-year-old "heirloom" handkerchief, took the stained side, and wiped his eyes.

"Thank you both for burying its body in France. I'm sure it will be beautiful on the banks of the Seine... I want to give Norbert a grand funeral..."

William and Hermione exchanged a glance and quickly agreed. William even prepared to hire six eight-eyed spiders to help professionally carry the coffin, to demonstrate his expertise.

This deeply moved Hagrid, who called William Norbert the best uncle.

After saying goodbye to Hagrid, they walked along a rough, muddy road, at the end of which more than a hundred carriages were waiting.

After riding the Divine Horse a few times, William began to look down on Thestrals.

Not to mention he's skinny, compared to the god-like appearance of the horse, he's like Voldemort and Tom Cruise.

William was planning to give Dumbledore a hint someday so that he could go to Beauxbatons and bring in a few Divine Horses.

Hagrid is a breeding expert; in just a few years, Hogwarts will be teeming with divine steeds.

The carriage rolled on and soon arrived at the magnificent cast-iron gate, flanked by many stone pillars topped with winged wild boars.

Two tall, turbaned Dementors stood guard at the entrance, like gatekeepers, meticulous in their presence.

Wait, there are two Dementors who are alone!

William rubbed his hands together, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

In this desolate wilderness, with the Forbidden Forest on one side and the Black Lake on the other, Hogwarts Castle is still so dangerous.

One morning, the students might wake up to find that... the security guard has disappeared.
