Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 417: Customers at the Stall

"Boom!"

At the Burrow, Harry bumped his head against the fireplace door when he entered the fireplace, making him even more dizzy.

Hermione supported him and asked with concern, "Did you hear Charles singing again?"

Harry nodded glumly and said, "Let's go first."

The Ministry of Magic has done some practical work. A number of stalls have been set up on both sides of the big tent of the Dancing Grass Restaurant next to the Quidditch World Cup stadium. Businesses such as Florin Fosco's Ice Cream Shop in Diagon Alley have opened shops here to do business with wizards from all over the world.

However, this matter was led by the Horse Liaison Office, which seems a bit strange.

Fred and George rented a stall here, and Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes was officially opened. In addition to magic Tetris, they also sold other small tricks.

Many foreign fans want to bring some local specialties back home, and these little gadgets are quite suitable, so the stalls are crowded with customers.

Before the stall opened, the twins' good friend Lee Jordan came.

He was carrying a suitcase with enough space inside to fit an elephant.

"Fat tongue toffee, big ear toffee, long hair toffee, farting wand, cat mirror, pig head quill..."

He took out the products one by one. These were all subcontracted to Hogwarts students, otherwise the twin brothers would not be able to handle it alone.

Harry's trio and Ginny helped put the merchandise on the shelves.

Jordan teased Ginny: "Ginny, don't make the mistake with the pig-head quill again."

Ginny picked up a pig-head quill by mistake when she was doing accounting yesterday. As a result, no matter what she wanted to write, all that appeared under the pen were cute pig heads, and she couldn't notice them at the first sight.

Ron put the fart wands on the shelf. One of the wands was released a little too quickly, triggering the magic of the wand. A fart sound came from the tip of the wand, and a foul smell came out.

"Ron!" Fred shouted, "I told you to be gentle!"

Hermione put the cat mirror in place, and Harry saw her cat image in the mirror and said, "You look cute in the mirror too... Ouch!"

The result of bringing up things that are not related to the topic is that you get kicked in the calf.

Ron started to wear a big hat, which would make a person's head twice as big when worn, but would return to its original size when taken off.

He asked Harry, "Did you hear Charles singing again this morning?"

Harry replied glumly, "Yeah, louder than the last few days."

He has had this problem for some time, and St. Mungo's Hospital couldn't find the cause. Dumbledore had some ideas but was not sure.

Ron asked him, "Charles wrote to me yesterday saying that he will leave China for the United States in a few days and then come back. Are you worried because you haven't finished your homework?"

Harry thought it was possible. Then Hermione said seriously, "I think Harry has been hit by some kind of magic or curse, like a Dementor, which makes people recall some terrible things."

Ron said, "But the healers at St. Mungo's didn't detect it."

They didn't get anywhere and soon they ran out of time to chat.

Fred clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, get ready. Get the interpreter bird ready. The guests are coming."

George said: "Tonight is the semi-final between Bulgaria and Germany. There will be a lot of fans, so everyone should be ready!"

As they were talking, a large group of young girls walked by.

The girls had very pale skin, which reminded Harry of Charles's blood loss when he came to the Burrow a while ago.

The sound of their voices and laughter is very pleasant, like the singing of birds in the mountains and forests.

"Wow!" Bill exclaimed, "It's the German cheerleaders, the vampire choir!"

Fred coughed a few times and began to comb his hair with his hands.

George put his arm around his eldest brother's shoulders and said, "You already have a girlfriend, you won't compete with your brothers for opportunities, right?"

As they were talking, one of the vampire girls walked out of the crowd and headed towards the stall.

"Wow..." Fred's eyes widened. "So beautiful!" George said, "What a great figure."

The two guys started to fix their hair and clothes, trying to make themselves look more handsome.

This time it was Bill's turn to cough: "She's a vampire."

Fred said, “That’s OK.”

George said, "Charlie can find a dragon as his girlfriend, so vampires are nothing."

Charlie: ???
Then, they spotted the vampire girl walking towards Harry.

This time it was Ron's turn to comb his hair.

The vampire girl stood in front of Harry and asked in not very standard English: "Good morning, are you Mr. Harry Potter?"

The Weasley boys were immediately shocked. It turned out that they were looking for the famous "Savior of Britain".

But there was still a chance, Fred and George appeared behind Harry faster than they could Apparate.

Harry had met quite a few foreigners like this these days, and replied, "Good morning, I'm Harry Potter."

"Oh, it's you!" The vampire girl looked very happy, "Then you are Hermione Granger, you are Ron Weasley, you are Ginny Weasley..."

"Ah, you two must be the brothers Fred and George Weasley."

No one expected that this German girl knew them, but that didn't matter. Fred and George felt there was hope and became more energetic than before.

Finally, the vampire girl said: "My name is Marlene, I am a good friend of Charles Smith, he often mentioned you to me."

Fred and George looked at each other and asked, "Are you on good terms with Charles?"

Marlene said, "Yes, he comes to stay with us for a while during the summer vacation every year. He stayed with us for a month last month."

Fred and George were hit again and almost fell to their knees.

On the other side, Hermione had taken out a small notebook to write it down.

Marlene chatted with them for a while, bought some prank taffy, and then followed the group to the Dancing Grass Restaurant for breakfast.

Ginny saw Hermione put away the notebook and asked her in a calm tone, "What did you write down?"

Hermione said proudly, "Hehe, I'm going to ask Charles to buy me snacks for the school year."

Ron asked in confusion, "Why would Charles buy you snacks for this?"

Harry also felt strange because Charles often complained about Hermione eating too many desserts.

Hermione smiled but said nothing.

At this time, a young man stood in front of Hermione and said in stiff English: "Hey, I want to buy something from the store."

When Hermione saw the customer coming, she immediately asked him what he wanted to buy.

The visitor pointed to the cat mirror and Hermione took one and explained how to use it.

The guests hurriedly paid and left, and the twins murmured in surprise.

"see it?"

"It's really him!"

……

Hermione asked them, "Who was that just now?"

Fred said excitedly, "It's Viktor Krum, the Seeker of the Bulgarian team."

Five minutes later, Krum came back again, this time to buy a pig-head quill from Hermione. The excited twins beside him were like air in his eyes.
