Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Sainz was just walking around Hogsmeade casually, with no intention of actually entering any store.

It's like going to a tourist town. Most people probably just want to look around. He guessed that only a few people would go into every store, right?

After wandering around for two hours without seeing any response from Conte, he was about to summon the Knight Bus to return to the Leaky Cauldron when he heard a familiar voice.

Following the sound, Hagrid's tall and burly figure appeared in the distance, as if he had just come out of the Hog's Head Inn.

"Hey! Hagrid! Hello!"

Hagrid seemed startled when he heard someone calling him, "Oh... it's Sainz... ah... hello!"

"Hagrid, how have you been lately?" Said Sainz as he walked up to Hagrid.

He was still wearing his oversized moleskin coat, which he wore all year round.

The mole was really unlucky. How many generations of ancestors did he have to sacrifice to make a fur coat for a 3.5 meter tall mixed-blood giant? !

"Ahaha...thank you for your concern...Sainz...I'm doing very well...how about you?"

Hagrid hurriedly wiped his beard and poured himself a glass of brandy. "Huh? No, why are you here? Junior wizards are not allowed to come to Hogsmeade."

He didn't feel it at a distance, but when he got closer, the strong smell of alcohol on Hagrid made it almost impossible for him to breathe, and he quickly stopped three meters away.

"Oh, you mean during the school period. Now it's vacation time. What do you think?"

Hagrid's eyes, buried in his beard and eyebrows, flashed with confusion, "Uh... that's true, it seems to be true... but... um... this is not right..."

"Hagrid, you look a little absent-minded. It seems you drank a lot today!"

"Well...yes...right...I drank a little too much today, it's true that I drank a little too much, ah...I think my head is acting up against me, I'm sorry, Sainz, I have to go back quickly" Hagrid stammered, looking dazed.

It looked like he had drunk quite a bit. "In that case, you should go back and have some rest. Goodbye, Hagrid!"

"Goodbye, Sainz!" Hearing Sainz's words, Hagrid quickly said goodbye and strode away.

A bit too drunk? Maybe!

But, Hagrid, give it up, you're really not good at lying!

Sainz shook his head and raised his wand to summon the Knight Bus.

A day later, Conte was led by the bar owner Old Tom to knock on Sainz's door on the second floor of the bar.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Sainz, but there's a house-elf here who's anxious for you!"

"Thank you, Tom. She did come to see me. And, please prepare some food for us, as usual, and send it to the room."

"Oh, okay, then I won't bother you." Old Tom looked at Conte thoughtfully and slowly went downstairs.

"Sir, I am undecided about what you have told me to do. I need your approval."

"Thank you for your hard work, Conte. Don't worry. After Old Tom brings the food up, we can talk while we eat."

"It's Conte's honor to serve you. You're so kind. No wizard has ever invited Conte to dine with him before..." Conte started sobbing again.

"..."

With Conte's introduction, she selected three houses that met Sainz's requirements. All of them were located on the outskirts of the village, in three directions of Hogsmeade, forming a triangle.

The one closest to Hogwarts was directly screened out. He didn't want the gate to be filled with students during certain periods of time.

There is another one on the other side of the village to the right of this one, and another one diagonally across from the nearest one on the other side away from Hogwarts.

Moreover, these two houses are relatively close to the foot of the mountain and are very quiet.

In the end, Sainz chose the one far away from the school.

Conte provided the basic information of the house: three floors above ground and one floor underground. The above-ground building area covers an area of ​​200 square meters, with a sloping yard of 600 square meters.

The price tag is thirteen thousand Galleons.

Well, this price, converted into pounds, is roughly equivalent to a 120-square-meter apartment in central London.

According to the prices in the wizarding world, it is definitely expensive, with a premium of about one thousand Galleons.

Who made him anxious to buy a house? It's normal for him to be bullied.

Sainz did not show up and gave Conte full authority to contact the other party.

Not long after, Conte returned with a magical contract.

The contract is made uniformly by the Ministry of Magic and contains magical power to ensure the legitimate interests of both parties.

Sainz checked the contract carefully and found no problem, so he wrote his name in the buyer's field with a magic wand.

Then the general situation and location coordinates of the house appeared in my mind, and the magic contract began to take effect.

Once the payment is made to the other party and the other party signs, the ownership of the house will be transferred to Sainz's name and become his legal property.

Legal property is naturally subject to tax, but the transaction tax is very small and is already included in the purchase price of the property, and the contract stipulates that it is paid entirely by the other party.

After Conte left, not long after, the coordinates and situation of the house in Sainz's mind suddenly became clearer, and he knew that the deal was done.

I have become a homeowner!!!

Ha! Good!

happy!

Sure enough, the next moment, Conte came up from downstairs, "Thank you for your mission, sir!"

"Thank you, Conte, I have never been happier!"

"Mr. is happy, Conte is happy too!"

"No, Conte, I'm probably happier than you think.

Conte, I can't wait to see my house, let's go, now!"

Conte saluted respectfully, "Sir, at your service!"

“Forget it!” Sainz stopped the urge to ask Conte to Apparate with him. “Sorry, Conte, I don’t know how to Apparate yet. I think I’ll just take the Knight Bus for now.”

Even though he was extremely excited, he still gave up his plan to take risks.

The Knight Bus didn't waste much of his time. Ten minutes later he arrived at the central street of Hogsmeade. He walked along the narrow alley next to the post office and headed into the mountains outside the village. After turning a few cobblestone paths, he arrived outside a large courtyard.

The yard of 600 square meters is not small. The two-person-high stone wall tightly surrounds the three-story main building inside.

Conte was already waiting at the door of two thick oak doors that were tightly closed.

"Sir, here is your magic key."

"Thank you!" He took the ancient key from Conte's hand and opened the door that seemed to have never been opened.

"Sir, before completing the transaction, Conte checked that the house was cleaned up very cleanly, and the original owner did not leave any items or magic that should not be left behind."

"That's great, Conte. Now I have a house. Although it may not be appropriate, I still want to ask, would you be willing to be the housekeeper of this house in the future?" Sainz made the invitation in a very formal tone.

"Hahaha..." Conte prostrated himself on the ground in excitement, crying bitterly, "Conte, Conte has always been looking forward to this day, Conte has always been looking forward to the day when a wizard allows him to be his house-elf.

Woo... Conte is so lucky, Mr. Autumn is so kind and so great, Conte certainly wants to serve him!

But, Conti can’t… woooo… Conti is Hogwarts… woooo… she can’t leave… woooo…”

"It's okay, Conte. You don't have to worry about Hogwarts. I will talk to Dumbledore directly if I have a chance. From what I know about him, he will definitely not stop me."

"Wu... kind Mr. Autumn... Wu..."

"Okay, Conte, calm down for a moment. How about asking me to take care of this house temporarily?"

"At your service, sir!"
