Chapter 724 Awesome!
"It's really rare that Mr. Skillful can remember so much information." Arthur looked at Mr. Skillful answering various questions in a leisurely manner. He has a natural interest and interest in such magical creations, "And He won't show impatience with customers' questions, this is definitely a good assistant for merchants, but its price should be very expensive, right?"
"George and Fred are really flexible. I don't know when they quietly developed so many products. And the two of them are doing well in business. I never thought their business would be so good. ..." Molly Weasley looked around at the wizards who were being selected, "Alan, you suggested to let them not apply for jobs in the Ministry of Magic, but let them do what they like, but now it seems that it is not right. No mistake. These two boys are really talented in business."
"Mr. Skillful Hand, there is still some time before the official launch. If you don't mind, I would like to get a Mr. Skillful Hand in your home. I would like to ask you to help experience and observe whether it is still good in a relatively complicated geographical environment. Can maintain good mobility." Seeing that Arthur was very interested in it, Allen deliberately used the pretext of helping the test to give the Weasleys a Mr. Handy Golem, and then he turned his head carefully Looking around, "Of course, as a company, Umbrella will definitely give priority to profit when we customize the price, but Mr. Skillful Hands is not expensive if you don't include the technical development costs and only count the material costs... "
Harry, who was nearby, heard Alan and the others talking, and looked at Mr. Handy with a little jealousy. He planned to give his godfather Sirius Black one when Mr. Handy went on the market—as he grew older or Because Dumbledore was busy with other things, the headmaster of Hogwarts was no longer like in the lower grades, telling Hagrid to strictly control his use of the property left to him by his parents at Gringotts.
A while ago, after Dumbledore came to the ancestral home of the Black family at 12 Grimmauld Place, although Harry didn’t know exactly what happened because the Order of the Phoenix didn’t allow him to attend the meeting, he later found out that Sirius was with the family boy. The relationship between the Elf Kreacher had dropped to a freezing point. If it wasn't for Lupine to stop him, Sirius seemed to be yelling at that time that he wanted to find trouble with Allen to undo some deceitful deal, and after that they ordered Kreacher to stay in that small corner You can't go, all the housework is done by the adults themselves.
After recovering, Harry noticed that Ron had stepped forward to take a closer look at the golem.
In fact, Ron, who just heard that his family will also be given one, now looks at this Mr. Handy, and his feelings are completely different from before. Ron's eyes are wide open, and they are very close. Like kissing Mr. Handy.
"Digging lotus roots! Awesome man! Harry, with this, my mother will no longer nag me because I'm lazy during the holidays, and she can completely free herself from housework!" Luo En's hand touched Mr. Skillful Hands, and then exaggeratedly sucked his saliva, "Digging lotus root! Awesome! Different from what I imagined, Harry, Mr. Skillful Hands feels very good to the touch, not cold at all. Its sales The price must be very expensive!"
"It must be very expensive, and the wizarding family who owns it must look very respectable!" A female voice that seemed too sweet came from behind Ron and Harry, "Hi, Ron, hi, Potter."
Harry and the others turned around and found that the hostess who suddenly started giggling to herself was none other than Lavender Brown, their classmate in Gryffindor. Professor Nee once predicted the death of her rabbit and began to worship Professor Trelawney.
Not far away, Lavender has a very good relationship with the Indian girl Parvati Patil who is elbowing her beside her. They and Hermione happen to be roommates who are assigned to the same female dormitory in Gryffindor — but Hermione never had a good relationship with them,
Lavender Brown seemed to Miss Know-It-All to be too bright or silly to be neurotic.
"Hi, Lavender, Parvati." Hearing this, Ron straightened his back a little more, and while secretly proud of himself, he took a few steps behind Harry awkwardly with the pile of goods in his arms. The freckles on both sides became less obvious on the flushed cheeks.
Harry also nodded politely at the two, and was immediately attracted by the group of people who walked in the door.
Well-dressed Lucius Malfoy and his wife Narcissa Black Malfoy walked into the joke shop owned by the Weasley family with the logo of the Umbrella Company, with their heads held high, and Pansy? Parkinson followed closely behind Draco Malfoy with pale cheeks. As soon as Draco saw Alan, he walked over excitedly.
When Pansy saw the direction Draco was heading, instead of following closely as usual, Pansy timidly leaned behind Lucius, and then took advantage of Lucius' figure to hide a short distance before dodging Got behind a counter. Pansy's uncharacteristic state attracted the attention of Ginny standing in front of the witch magazine counter.
Ginny shook her curly red hair, followed Lucius Malfoy and his party calmly, pretending to be picking out products, and observed Parkinson through the mirror in the girl's cabinet. Seeing that Parkinson was hardly attracted by the dazzling array of products, he didn't even glance at the girl's favorite mirror. Instead, he glanced at the Malfoy family who was saying hello to Ellen, and then completely hid himself behind the cabinet. It seems that Pansy not only didn't intend to go up to say hello, but also tried to keep Alan from seeing her.
This abnormal behavior aroused Ginny's stronger curiosity. You must know that Pansy used to follow Draco everywhere like a poodle in his free time, and he always respected Alan in order to please Draco. of.
Because of the existence of Arthur and Molly, after the Malfoy family ignored the Weasley family and said hello to Allen, Lucius and Narcissa started to walk around the store with picky and slightly disdainful eyes and began to choose products. And Draco was left behind to chat with Alan about his grandfather Abraxas' illness. The Malfoy family came to Diagon Alley today to buy school supplies for Draco and the others, just to get some novelties Things go back to make Abraxas happy.
Although Draco didn't say it clearly, even the Weasleys, who were embarrassed and annoyed by Malfoy's ignorance, understood that Abraxas's situation seemed to have lasted for a few days. Would not go into the store opened by their family. Even though the two families could be regarded as hostile relations like blood feuds, the kind-hearted redheads obviously wouldn't act excessively towards Malfoy at this moment.
After randomly selecting some products in front of several counters, Lucius Malfoy gave all the products to his wife Narcissa and explained a few words, and exchanged glances with Pansy Parkinson behind the cabinet not far away. , They didn't call Draco who was talking beside Allen, and the two began to pretend to be looking at the products, but actually quietly passed through the wizard who was addicted to all kinds of joke products, and moved slowly towards the door of the store.
Going around a counter, Ginny, who was hiding on the side of the cabinet, heard Ron's voice, "Harry, look at Draco, who is following Alan, chatting and chatting with tears in his eyes. I said, if any of us were really gay, it would be this ferret!"
Ginny dodged over, grabbed Harry's arm, and pointed quietly in the direction of Pansy and Lucius. Harry adjusted his glasses, and elbowed Ron beside him.
"What are old Malfoy and Parkinson doing?" Harry said with a frown when he saw the abnormal behavior of Lucius and Pansy. Ron looked back and saw Narcissa who was still shopping and Draco who was talking to Alan didn't seem to notice Lucius's actions, and said suspiciously: "It seems that the ferret and his mother were killed by them. It was thrown off on purpose."
"But why? Just now when Parkinson came in, she hid when she saw Alan. She didn't even say hello to Alan as usual, as if she was afraid of being seen by Alan..." Ginny pointed out the attention just now He told his boyfriend and brother about what happened.
"Alan is a master of Legilimency! Parkinson is afraid that Alan will find out her inner secrets. There is something they don't want Alan to know!" Harry shouted in a low voice with a flash of inspiration. In the past few semesters, he himself It was a shame that Alan and Snape had explored the secrets in his head many times, which also allowed him to speculate on the reason for Pansy Parkinson's abnormal behavior, "Let's follow up and see!"
