Chapter 723 Weasley's Magical Wheezes
The day agreed by Allen and the Weasleys was a dark and cloudy day, but Diagon Alley was bustling with colorful shop windows filled with all kinds of goods, and the merchants tried their best to get Attracting young wizards to stop and enter, unlike other countries, the impact of Voldemort and his Death Eaters on the British wizarding world is negligible, at least on the bright side, except for the initial panic.
But in such a prosperous situation, there is still one store that is particularly eye-catching. Their window attracts people's attention like a fireworks display. Many wizards passing by stop and can't help but turn their heads to look at it. Looking obsessively at the window, the window is colorful, with all kinds of products that spin, twitch, flash, jump and scream.
This shop is Weasley's Wizard Wheezes: a huge statue of a gentleman standing on the shop sign with the umbrella logo, this sculpture integrated with the shop door is several stories high, he is smiling with his mouth open , the eyes rolled occasionally. A rabbit stands on the sculpture's head, waving its hands and tail. The hands of the sculpture buttoned the hat to the top of the head to cover the rabbit. When it was lifted again, the rabbit in the hat disappeared, and bright fireworks came from the room, lighting up the window.
"Alan, you didn't drive here today, did you?" Arthur Weasley's forehead under the red hair didn't know whether it was because of the heat or excitement, and there were many beads of sweat.
"Of course not. Parking in Diagon Alley is a problem." Allen pointed to the bustling crowd on the narrow street and said, "The situation in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade is not suitable for cars to drive in."
"It seems that the business is good, and they still have a bit of talent for doing business." Molly Weasley was obviously still focusing on her sons' business. She looked at the shop full of customers and raised her head.
"To put it too modestly, this is not bad." Ron opened his mouth wide, watched the lively scene, and pulled Harry into the shop quickly.
Penello, who followed as a guard, saw that there were a lot of wizards to buy in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, so he folded his arms and guarded the door with wolf mother Victor and the fat man.
"Penello, why don't you seem to be seeing you and the doctor together during this time?" Allen asked a little strangely.
"Doctor, she has something to do recently, so it's inconvenient to go on a mission." Penello said vaguely, and Allen saw that Arthur was already waiting for him at the door above the steps, so he hurried up without asking any more questions .
As soon as she entered the store, Ginny took Hermione to the counter where a group of girls gathered, playing with the crystal clear bottles of various colors.
"This is simply wonderful." Ron admired and hugged his favorite products in his arms. He and Harry jumped into various little wizards, and went around the counter to carefully examine them one by one.
The store is full of customers who are shopping for products. Various grids are piled up almost to the ceiling, and various commodities are placed in the grids. Both George and Fred wore the same magenta robes. They stood in the middle of the stairs, avoiding the purple frisbees flying around in the store from time to time, and greeted the customers in unison: "Look, take a look, take a look!" , the newly arrived coma flower candies, nosebleed nougat, and if you want to leave get out of class on time, use vomit tablets..."
Allen and the Weasleys stood in front of the most conspicuous product in the entire store——Mr. Skillful Hand, but it was not for sale, but just displayed here. One was to show Mr. Skillful Hand himself. This housekeeping golem had already It has attracted the attention of many ordinary wizard families, and the other is to display the items in the store. Mr. Skillful's three tentacle arms, each arm is holding a store item, showing it to everyone from various angles. Can issue voice commentary.
The store was full of wizards trying out various items. Some children started to walk on the wall, and the soles of their feet made sounds like suction cups as they moved. The waiters, who were also wearing magenta robes, were holding cauldrons, looking for them at any time in a panic. I took a vomit tablet,
The little wizards, who had produced signs of the effect, were always ready to put the cauldron to their lips.
Hermione and Ginny were finally surrounded by some kind of potion display case surrounded by girls. After they approached, they realized that the potions in the beautiful bottles under the display case shaped like purple flowers had mother-of-pearl luster and From time to time, spiraling steam emerged from the mouth of the bottle.
"Hello, girls." George and Fred teleported behind them and said in their characteristic high-synchronization tone, "Want to try the love potion? It's really good, but then again, you can It's a lot of fun."
"What do you mean?" Ginny frowned while holding a bottle of potion.
George and Fred joked, "Sister, aren't you on good terms with Harry? We saw you and him in the kitchen a few days ago..."
"It's none of your business!" Ginny retorted, blushing, and threw away the potion, turned around and left.
The twins turned their attention back to Hermione, who was giggling nearby. They pointed to a box next to the love potion that said "Proprietary Product: Daydream Charm". A picture of a handsome young man and a bewitched girl standing on the deck of a pirate ship: "Just say a spell, and you can enter a high-quality, extremely realistic daydream for thirty minutes, Applicable to ordinary school classes, easy to operate, absolutely unnoticeable - side effects include sluggish expression and slight drooling, this thing can't be sold to teenagers under the age of sixteen, but Hermione, you and Ginny can take you for free Wanted gadgets."
Hermione nodded at first, and then frowned like Ginny. The twins noticed the change in Miss Know-it-all's expression and suddenly realized, and added with a guilty conscience: "Of course, we will be responsible for this, and we won't let The umbrella is at a disadvantage..." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Hermione to respond, George and Fred moved to the parents next to Mr. Handy.
I saw many wizards holding the items they wanted to buy, skipping the waiters and coming to Mr. Skillful Hands to ask for the price, and also trying to ask Mr. Skillful Hands to introduce the functions of the products. Seeing this, Ron and Harry took their favorite things and walked in front of Mr. Handy Golem.
Harry took out a set of retractable ears and the piece in his hand that seemed to be mixed with diamonds or shards of glass, which looked like a gleaming lump of coal and asked, "How much are these things?"
"Extensible ears, a bug with a very effective ear shape. The bosses imported the stealth smoke bomb from Peru. This is their cash cow. It is necessary to get out." Mr. Skillful imitated the accent of the twins with a London accent mechanically. Then the conversation changed: "Mr. Harry Potter, you can choose three items freely, and they are free."
"What about this? I'm the younger brother of your bosses." Ron couldn't wait to wave the imitation of the lightsaber in his hand, which imitated the Muggle sci-fi movie broadcast on Harris TV, in front of Mr. Handy. If Pin hits someone else, it will cause the other person to twitch slightly for a while, and make their hair stand on end, but it will not cause any substantial damage to the wizard himself.
A detector on Mr. Handy's round head pointed at the toy in Ron's hand, and then mechanically replied: "Seven Galleons."
Ron emphasized with some annoyance. "I don't think you understand. I'm the brother of your bosses."
Mr. Skillful Hand's cold and mechanical voice sounded again: "Seven Galleons."
"It's so rigid! George and Fred must have forgotten to give my identity to this thing." Ron muttered angrily, and then raised the green lightsaber in his hand to face Mr. Skillful Hands not far away. The twin brothers who were talking with Arthur and Allen shouted, "Hey! George, Fred, your stupid golem asked me to pay seven gold Galleons, you forgot to give it my identity ?”
The twins turned around and glanced at the thing in Ron's hand, and they replied together: "It's right, its price is seven gold Galleons."
Ron's eyes widened when he heard the words: "I am your own brother!"
"That's fourteen gold Galleons." The twin brothers said in unison. They put their hands in their trouser pockets and turned their heads at the same time. If Mister Hand comes out, it will be a big hit, and we can’t count how many wizards have come to ask us if they can buy it.”
Seeing that the twins no longer paid attention to him, Ron pursed his mouth and thought sourly: "This thing is far worse than house elves. House elves obey their master's instructions and are real living intelligent creatures Can take the initiative to help the master accomplish anything!" He looked at the appearance of Mr. Skillful Hands, and once again he felt contemptuous in his heart, "Just this shape, it's too ugly, and the wizard who designed this thing has terrible aesthetics! Look at those three tentacles and round arms. The head is like an octopus without legs!"
