A boy with colorful face paint and a playful, lively appearance stepped forward and greeted the two: "Welcome, you two! You are the tenth group of tourists to enter Diagon Alley today! I am a shop assistant at Golden Dragon Magic Toy Shop."
He enthusiastically introduced the store's exclusive promotion: "Our store is launching a limited-time offer today. These two lucky visitors can enjoy a 20% discount on any item they purchase by showing this exclusive folding fan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shoved a delicate fan into Harry's hand.
Harry was still completely bewildered and hadn't quite caught up with the continuous stream of surprises.
Harry thought to himself that the promotional and customer acquisition strategies of shops were remarkably similar in every world.
He looked down at the folding fan in his hand, on which was painted a cute, round, and full pattern.
This is not an ordinary printed pattern; the design floats slowly on the fan surface, lively and vivid, making it exceptionally exquisite and pleasing to the eye.
Harry, filled with curiosity, raised his hand and turned the folding fan in his hand, and a brand new image on the fan surface instantly came into view.
It was a moving image, capturing the moment when he and Hagrid were caught off guard by the fireball and both gasped in astonishment.
The two people in the video are vividly portrayed, capturing their sudden shock and astonishment. The subtle changes in their expressions are incredibly lifelike.
Harry leaned closer to examine it closely and could feel the brand-new texture of the photograph, which had obviously been taken just moments before.
He looked up at the group of colorful shop assistants and happened to see one of them holding a magic instant camera. Only then did he realize how fast the other person could take pictures, completing the snapshot silently.
Hagrid was rather slow to react, only now digesting the store clerk's introduction to the event and belatedly realizing the unexpected perk.
He immediately burst into hearty laughter, his eyes sparkling with joy.
"Harry, we're so lucky today!"
Harry relaxed, holding the folding fan in his hand, and asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Hagrid, could you tell me the exact location of the Golden Dragon Magic Toy Shop? What magical items does it mainly sell?"
"The shop is right on the main street of Diagon Alley, it's easy to find. After we finish shopping, if we have enough time, I'll take you there for a look."
With a hint of pride, Hagrid spoke with familiarity and warmth, "The shop owner is Puni, a very good friend of mine! If he were here today, I would introduce you to him."
Upon hearing these words, the shop assistants who had not yet dispersed immediately became serious.
Harry nodded in surprise, his mind involuntarily conjuring up the image of the shop owner named Penny.
Based on the physical characteristics of the people around him, he deduced that most of Dali's playmates were of similar build to him, so the person who could befriend the tall and burly Hagrid must also be exceptionally strong and tall.
He couldn't help but imagine a robust young man whose figure he had to look up to see clearly, and even wondered to himself whether the young man or Hagrid would be taller and more imposing.
In Harry's mind, Hagrid was the tallest and strongest person he had ever seen. He had always thought his uncle was very burly, but in front of Hagrid, he suddenly seemed ordinary.
Hagrid, with Harry full of curiosity, turned and left, continuing his journey to various locations in Diagon Alley to purchase the supplies needed for school.
The shop assistants who remained at the brick entrance finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
The boy with face paint, who had just handed out the folding fan, turned to look at his companion with a hint of trepidation.
"My wording and flow just now, I hope there were no mistakes?"
A female shop assistant immediately smiled and reassured them, "Don't worry, everything is perfect, done exceptionally well!"
Another new employee, who had recently graduated and joined the company, spoke softly with a look of emotion: "I never knew that Haig and our boss were such good friends. During my years in school, I hardly ever had a chance to talk to Haig. I remember that the boss was only a sophomore in school. It's really rare that he could become friends with Haig at such a young age."
"They must be compatible and get along very well."
While tidying up the magic items in her hands and preparing for another round of fireball effects, the female shop assistant casually replied.
The other employees nodded in agreement, completely agreeing with the sentiment.
......
During the entire summer vacation, Puni only had three truly relaxing days at the beginning.
For the rest of his days, he was constantly occupied with various tasks, with almost no free time.
Occasionally, when he calms down, he will feel a pang of regret and wonder why he arranged his schedule so tightly and exhaustingly.
But as soon as I think of the endless stream of Galleons coming in, the weariness in my heart instantly disappears, and I feel that all the hard work I've put in is especially worthwhile.
Moreover, his physique far surpasses that of ordinary people. Bathed in holy light, even after days of running around and being busy, his body did not feel the slightest bit tired.
The store's new promotional campaign has officially launched.
Summer vacation is the peak shopping season in the magical world. Underage wizards from all over the world flock to magical shopping districts like Diagon Alley to buy essential supplies for the new school term. It is the best time to reach potential new customers and cover the widest range of wizards who are not yet familiar with the new ways of doing things in the shops.
With the launch of the new version content, all the timing was perfect, and the entire promotional plan was naturally implemented.
On the third floor of the Golden Dragon Magic Shop, there is an outdoor viewing platform. Puni is currently leaning against the railing, looking down at the shop lobby below.
The customer flow was still sparse in the early morning and the overall atmosphere was not very lively, but he knew that the bustling scene in the store would soon arrive.
10:00 AM is the fixed time for the store to announce new cards, and it is also the peak time for daily customer traffic.
After several days of preparation, many young wizards who are passionate about card games have developed a fixed habit: arriving at the shop on time every day with Floo Powder, waiting for the new card's attributes and effects to be revealed, and then carefully recording them in their own notebooks.
Players who consistently keep track of their progress day after day are mostly loyal fans who genuinely love this gameplay, and are also participants preparing for the Golden Dragon Battle tournament starting the next day.
The tournament has a very low entry threshold, requiring only a registration fee of three silver coins, but offers the chance to draw top-tier legendary cards worth hundreds of gold galleons, with extremely high potential returns. Any wizard with even a little confidence in their own abilities will not miss this tournament.
Puni often pondered to himself that the card game system he had created had made a significant contribution to the entire wizarding world.
Many wizards in the magical world have rigid thinking and lack logical reasoning ability, but the battle mechanism of the Golden Dragon War can train people's strategic thinking and on-the-spot judgment.
If someone participates for a long time but still acts without any method or only blindly, it only shows that they are unwilling to study diligently and cannot be considered a true magic enthusiast. They have also wasted their talent and opportunities as a wizard.
While quietly waiting for the 10 o'clock announcement time, a tall, highly recognizable figure walked into the store lobby, instantly attracting Puni's attention.
The shop had already been enchanted with a seamless stretching and expanding spell. To maintain this long-lasting magical effect, Puni had to pay a considerable fee to the Ministry of Magic every year. As a result, the shop was exceptionally spacious.
Even so, the man's tall and imposing figure was still particularly eye-catching.
Puni smiled and took the initiative to greet him.
He was on the third-floor stands, and without using any amplification equipment or casting any sound transmission spells, his voice reached Hagrid's ears perfectly, without any deviation.
"Hagrid, it's been a long time. What brings you here today, leaving Hogwarts to make a special trip?"
Hagrid, who was downstairs, looked up at the sound and looked toward the third-floor stands.
Even though he was much taller than ordinary people, he could only look up at the three-story building.
Seeing the other party's slightly clumsy appearance, Puni secretly felt a sense of amusement.
"Puni! I've finally found you!"
Chapter 143 I'll take care of Harry?
Hagrid's voice was loud and powerful, with a strong penetrating force, instantly drowning out the noise in the store. "I'm here today because I need your help with something!"
The loud sound echoed throughout the shop, causing many young wizards who had just arrived through the fireplace to wince and cover their ears.
It was at this moment that Puni noticed the thin, frail figure of the boy beside Hagrid. He was slender and looked particularly weak.
Puni smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine here. If you have something to say, come up here. Don't make a racket in the lobby and disturb other customers. Everyone is getting fed up with your loud voice."
Hagrid glanced down and saw the young wizards around him covering their ears. He then realized he had made too much noise and quickly looked apologetic. He then led Harry to the area directly below the third-floor stands.
The two looked around but couldn't find the staircase leading to the third floor. They stood there, somewhat at a loss.
Puni smiled and gestured to the wall next to him, explaining, "There are special access shoes placed by the wall. After you change into them, just walk straight ahead and you can go directly to the third floor without having to look for the stairs."
On the side wall of the stands, there is a special area with a significantly darker color, wide enough for two adults to walk side by side, with the wall texture extending straight from the floor to the ceiling, clearly defined.
A row of special magic shoes was neatly arranged at the base of the wall; this was the special passage that Puni had just mentioned.
Harry stared at the wall and shoes in front of him, completely baffled by the underlying principles, his mind filled with doubt.
But Hagrid, who was beside him, was already familiar with this and instantly understood how to pass through.
Hagrid walked straight to the wall, reached out and took down the largest size magic shoe on display. The shoe was lightweight and could be picked up easily.
Even though this was the largest pair of shoes in the entire row, it was still too small compared to Hagrid's large feet, and he could barely wear them.
He patiently fastened the shoes securely to his feet, preparing to pass through.
After getting dressed, Hagrid lifted his foot and gently stepped onto the dark wall.
A bizarre scene unfolded before Harry's eyes in an instant: Hagrid's body was not bound by gravity, his feet were firmly planted on the vertical wall, and his body remained parallel to the ground, firmly attached to the wall surface.
Without any levitation aids or the casting of any visible magic, Hagrid steadily ascended the wall as if walking on flat ground, climbing step by step toward the third-floor stands.
"Harry, just follow me up!" When they reached the third floor, Hagrid slightly turned to the side, deftly flipped over, and landed steadily in the stands, waiting for Harry to catch up.
Harry quickly composed himself, suppressing his shock and bewilderment, and hurried forward to choose suitable shoes.
In stark contrast to Hagrid, he was small in stature, and only the smallest size shoes could fit his feet.
Overjoyed, Harry quickly dressed and eagerly stepped onto the dark wall to experience this mind-blowing magic.
Just as he had steadied himself and was about to slowly ascend, a clear, youthful voice came from the third floor.
"Hey, Harry!" Penny leaned forward slightly, his gaze falling on Harry, and reminded him, "Your wand is on the ground."
Harry looked down and gazed past the magic wall beneath his feet, where he saw his brand-new wand lying quietly on the smooth ground.
The experience of floating and walking on the wall was particularly novel and piqued Harry's curiosity. He didn't want to turn back and land halfway.
Seeing the wand so close, he was certain he could reach out and pick it up. Just as his fingers were about to touch the wand, he suddenly leaped into the air.
Once freed from the magical support of the magic shoes, the levitation effect instantly ceased.
The next second, Harry lost his support and fell straight off the wall, crashing heavily onto the shop's hardwood floor.
Puni, who was watching from the third-floor stands, couldn't help but chuckle.
He quickly grabbed the Polaroid camera beside him, snapped a picture, and captured Harry's disheveled fall.
A unique and amusing photo from your embarrassing past is thus created.
Puni thought to himself that Harry had experienced countless strange and embarrassing incidents since he was a child, so he probably wouldn't care too much about this little embarrassment.
Harry, who was lying on the ground, immediately realized that he had acted rashly and made a fool of himself.
Without much hesitation, he quickly picked up his wand from the ground, adjusted his state, stepped onto the magic wall again, and steadily walked towards the third floor.
When Harry went up to the stands, Penny noticed that he simply put his wand in his pocket casually, without any regard for it.
At this moment, Harry was still clueless and had no idea what special meaning and weight this special wand held for him.
Harry rolled onto the platform, his heart brimming with excitement.
