Harry Potter Reborn
Chapter 436 Gold Rush and Owl Turning
Friday, October 20, 1995.
It has been two weeks since Harry and Penelope last met.
Diagon Alley.
The wind is a little noisy today.
A skinny wizard in his thirties, wearing a blue magic robe that seemed to have been worn for a long time, with an unshaven beard but bright eyes appeared at the door of a shop in Diagon Alley.
He raised the edge of his robe to block the biting cold wind.
I looked at the empty shop hesitantly, not sure whether I should go in or not.
This store is located two stores away from the most popular Wizard's Supermarket in Diagon Alley.
It stands to reason that it should be a geomantic treasure.
Because it is said that any store close to the Wizard's Supermarket will have its traffic volume doubled, and the store owner will laugh out of his dreams.
As a result, the rents of surrounding shops have also increased, increasing more than ten times.
But this newly opened shop is deserted and empty.
Isn’t this a big loss? Such a high rent was wasted.
Moreover, this store also has a very strange name that makes wizards scratch their heads: "Gold Rush Gold."
In fact, this gold rush shop opened on Tuesday.
At that time, Diagon Alley was full of advertising flyers, and even the second page of the Daily Prophet bought an entire page for advertising. I heard that wizarding newspapers in other countries also published news about the opening of gold mining shops.
But the next day, they suddenly disappeared.
The little piece of paper that was so ubiquitous yesterday can no longer be found in Diagon Alley.
And because the services they advertised were so unsettling, it was already the fourth day and no wizard was willing to come in.
The thirty-year-old man at the door thought of the owl whose wings were broken yesterday and was still being treated in the pet hospital, so he decided to go in.
"Welcome, sir." The only witch in the room seemed to be relieved when she saw someone coming in.
"I must have seen it wrong." The wizard thought to himself.
"Do you want to use the gold mining postal service?" asked the beautiful young witch.
"Yeah... right." The wizard hadn't actually made up his mind whether to send the mail, but looking at the witch's miserable pleading look, he really couldn't bear to turn around and go out, which was tantamount to stabbing someone else.
"Sir, what do you want to mail? You must know that according to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, we cannot help you with Class C prohibited items and above."
"Don't worry, they are all very safe."
The wizard took out a package, and first took out a fiery red crystal ball: "This is a warm fire ball. You know, when it's cold, if you put it on the bed, it will be very warm for several meters around it."
"These are two cotton velvet sweaters knitted by the children's mother."
"And, this is the most important thing..." The wizard held it firmly and looked at the witch worriedly: "This is a brand new wand, worth twelve galleons."
With a bright smile on her face, the witch almost snatched the wizard's hand away and took the wand back. She looked like she would not give up until this business was done.
"Sir, please rest assured. If the goods are lost or damaged, we will compensate you in full." The witch said with a smile.
Hearing these words, the wizard felt even more uneasy.
He usually buys something in other stores. When he returns home, he finds something defective, and it is extremely difficult to argue with the store to request a return or exchange of the goods.
But this Gold Rush store has vowed to fully compensate for any problems. Is there such a good thing?
Doesn’t this tell you clearly: we are liars? The wizard really wants to turn around and leave.
But... who doesn't like young and beautiful girls?
No LSP would ignore the humble plea in the pretty shop assistant's talking eyes.
Finally he plucked up the courage and said, "Okay, then mail it to me."
The wizard's heart was bleeding. He had prepared a scenario where he would be cheated out of money or damaged during transportation but refused to compensate, and then he would go home and be punished by his mother by kneeling on a durian.
But when the time comes, I will definitely report myself to the Aurors.
"Okay, sir, your name and contact information?" the witch pulled out a small blank card and asked.
The wizard said: "My name is Giio Zhenzhong. I live at Giio Farm in East Sussex. My phone number is 211561269."
The witch waved her wand, and these words appeared on the card.
"So, who do you want to mail it to? Currently, this service is limited to Hogwarts and our store, you should know."
The wizard named Jiio Zhenzhong said proudly: "My daughter, she is a second-year student of Gryffindor College at Hogwarts. Her name is Isais."
"Okay, I understand." The witch waved her wand again, and the consignee's information appeared on the card.
"Sir, Chenghui is worth one silver and five coppers."
Giovanni Zhenzhong handed over the money.
"How long will it take to arrive?" Jieo Zhenzhong asked worriedly.
"It depends on how long it will take for your daughter to know that you have mailed something to her. The fastest...it will be right away."
The witch used a sticky spell to attach the card to the package, then placed the package on a blue-gray stone and recited a spell.
A golden light flashed, and then the package disappeared.
The witch smiled and said: "We have arrived at Hogwarts."
Jiio Zhenzhong looked like you were kidding me.
Gio Zhenzhong regretted that he had jumped into such an obvious scam so stupidly.
The witch saw Jiio Zhenzhong's distrust, and she said: "You can wait for your daughter's reply to you, and you will know when the time comes."
Jiio Zhenzhong was about to leave the store with a suspicious and heartbroken expression.
The witch suddenly stopped him.
"Please wait a moment."
The witch bent down, rummaged around on the counter below, and then took out a golden card.
She showed a hint of embarrassment: "Sorry, I forgot about it."
Then it quickly turned into a sweet smile from the heart, and he raised the card in front of Jiio Zhenzhong: "Dang Dang Dang! Sir, you have won the jackpot!"
Gio Zhenzhong has a black question mark on his face.
"Should I pay the IQ tax first and then receive the grand prize?"
The witch's face stiffened, and she forced a smile and said, "Of course not."
"This is the Gold Tao Gold Lifetime Distinguished Award, and you will become a Lifetime Diamond Member of the Gold Tao Gold."
"In the future, no matter when and where we are, you can use all of our services for free."
"Congratulations, Mr. Gigio Zhenzhong."
Seeing that Jiio Zhenzhong still looked confused and confused, the witch smiled slightly and explained: "This is a special reward ordered by the boss to give to the first wizard who has the courage to believe in gold mining. It is the only one in the world.
share."
Jieo Zhenzhong took the metal card with the words "Gold Rush Gold Lifetime Distinguished Award" printed on it.
His expression suddenly changed, and he said in disbelief: "This is pure gold!"
The witch smiled faintly, thinking in her heart that Boss Penello was really willing.
The flawless piece of gold alone was worth five hundred galleons.
However, she, who is very confident about the future development of Gold Rush, believes that five hundred galleons is just a drop in the bucket compared to the meaning of the card.
After the store opened, no one visited it.
She had originally wanted to suggest that Penello ask someone to use the gold-mining postal service.
But Penello seemed particularly angry for some reason, and said firmly: "Let it go, if it can't be opened, then close it."
…
Ji Ao Zhenzhong turned over and over to check the card in his hand, still unable to believe that this was real.
This card is worth dozens of times more than his package.
Did I get lucky? Or maybe someone is deliberately playing tricks on me.
Until he returned home, he was still puzzled.
…
noon.
Hogwarts.
Over the weekend, everyone discovered that Hagrid was going to build a small house and several huge wooden shelves on the road between his hut and Hogwarts Castle.
At that time, everyone was talking about what Hagrid was going to do.
The reason that was finally generally agreed upon was that Hagrid was preparing a house for his children.
But later, four shelves were placed at the door, and wooden signs with the names of the four colleges were hung on them.
This confuses the students.
Someone noticed that the shelves have seven levels.
"Could it be that each level corresponds to a grade?" Someone randomly guessed.
"It's just a coincidence, you're thinking too much," someone retorted.
Three days ago.
Hagrid made another plaque and placed it at the door of the small house.
It says in blue letters: "Owl Zhuan Zhuan Zhuan Station."
Everyone is even more confused about what it means.
"What a weird name!"
"It makes no sense, the words have no meaning, it's incomprehensible."
"What kind of idiot thought that?"
"It must be Professor Hagrid."
A few more days passed, and the small wooden house called the inn remained empty.
The shelves are also empty.
Some students looked into the room and saw a cylindrical stone in the middle of the room.
"Could it be that Professor Hagrid wanted to do some business, but failed?" Everyone speculated.
…
today.
The fourth year students of Hufflepuff House walked out of Professor Sprout's greenhouse.
When they passed the Owl Station, someone was suddenly surprised, as if they had discovered a new world, and pointed at the huge shelves: "Look! There is something up there!"
A bunch of wizards gathered around, and there was a package quietly placed on the second-to-last wooden board on the Gryffindor shelf.
"There seems to be a name on it."
"Gryffindor, second year student, Issei."
"Who is Isis? Who knows her?"
"Go find her quickly."
Just like that, a group of wizards gathered around the package and rushed to the auditorium.
For the twelve-year-old girl Issei, it will take a long time for her to forget today's shock.
She had just arrived in the auditorium to have lunch when dozens of senior wizards suddenly rushed in from the door.
There are men and women.
They glared at the young wizards of Gryffindor House "aggressively" and kept asking: "Issei! Where is Issese!"
Issei's face turned pale.
…
At night.
Giio Zhenzhong, who lives in East Sussex, is still showing off to his wife that he has made a fortune today.
His wife twisted Jiio Zhenzhong’s ears and yelled: “I don’t care which sewer you picked up a gold card from, I just want to ask you, if I asked you to give something to your daughter, where did you give it?
Don’t you know that your daughter’s wand is broken and she needs a new one urgently? I didn’t tell you to go to the Owl Post Office to find a cat head.
Eagle delivery? How did you get into some gold mining shop that no one has ever used? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? You can believe this kind of nonsense when you send something to Hogwarts in the blink of an eye. If you could
If you are so powerful, why do you need an owl? Are you unable to walk because of the beauty of this little girl?"
Jiyo Zhenzhong had cold sweat dripping from his forehead: "How is it possible..."
Just then, a little owl flew into the house.
Jiio Zhenzhong's eyes lit up and he quickly interrupted: "It's Ises's owl."
He took a letter from the owl's leg, opened it and read the content, and couldn't help but smile: "Ises said she had received the wand we gave her, and it is as suitable as before."
Then he proudly took the letter to his wife and said, "I also said that it was delivered in time, because she has Professor Snape's class in the afternoon. If the wand had not been received in time, she would have been punished and placed in solitary confinement."
His wife read the letter doubtfully, and when she realized that her husband had done the right thing, she hummed twice and said, "Forget it this time, you can do whatever I say from now on."
Jiio Zhenzhong smiled quickly and said, "Everything is up to you."
However, he had already decided that he would go find some old guys tomorrow and show off to them his adventure in that gold mining shop.
