Chapter 37: Clothing Stores

"Do you really think you're in the ascendancy? No, old man, you've only suppressed the darkness for the time being, and everything you've built up will be destroyed. "When Dumbledore woke up from this strange dream about the Dark Lord, it was three o'clock in the night.www.biquge.info

Dumbledore calmly put on his nightcap, then picked up the wand at the head of the bed, and the elderberry wand easily lit the lamp at the head of the bed, and the room was slightly brighter. Dumbledore drank a little tea, moistening his thirsty throat.

"Looks a little old," Dumbledore muttered softly.

In the last part of the school year, students are desperately reviewing what their teachers have taught them in preparation for their upcoming final exams. Xie An is finally not afraid of insomnia now, and he has more exciting activities in the evening. In the dead of night, Xie An would leave the castle with the help of elves.

Although Hermione still ignores Shea, she still helps Shea solve a lot of homework through Luna. By the way, he also helped Xie An choose a few good books.

It looks like the whole world is on a normal track and has not deviated from anything. After the final exams, the final gathering of the semester was held in the auditorium. Dumbledore enthusiastically announced that everyone could have a hard time and have fun during the summer vacation, but don't be too crazy.

Ravenclaw became the winner of the House Cup, and until the end of the term, Slytherin couldn't catch up.

Summer vacation began, and all the students happily left Hogwarts with their luggage, originally Shayne wanted to stay here, but Cho and Luna's suggestion made Shay An feel that maybe he should have a better vacation.

They have a better plan, a plan that doesn't have to travel.

London, East End, with its narrow streets, densely packed houses, mixed forces and factions, is the cradle of the so-called avant-garde artists and a gathering place for thieves and scoundrels.

The young robber suddenly laughed a few times, put away the dagger in his hand, then took out a few banknotes and put them on the cash register, pushed them in front of the young man, and said, "Hehe, I'm just joking! That's all I have on me, you can give me socks or something, whatever you want!"

Passers-by sighed regretfully, feeling that they had not been able to see a good show, as if a violent confrontation could inspire so-called art.

The silver-haired girl handed the young looter a pair of woolen socks that looked to be handmade of different colors, and motioned for him to go.

"Andrew, why did we choose this place for our clothing business? There are more thieves and robbers than customers every day!" Qiu stood at the gate dressed as a salesman who looked like a cheongsam, looking at the sparse crowd.

"Autumn, it's a fertile ground for new art, and if we want to sell our stuff, there's no hope of going to those old bustling streets. Hermione and Cho explained as they stood on the other side of the door, dressed in the same costume.

The Earl bought a whole house, as a subsidy for his son's first business, Xie An didn't care, but the three girls were very attentive to their first job, and after a simple redecoration, the girls arranged their bedrooms on the third floor according to their own wishes, Xie An could only live alone on the second floor, and the first floor was a storefront. There was no opening ceremony, and a strange clothing store quietly opened.

"Andrew, do you really think my designs are fine?" said Luna, pointing to a row of wizarding robes of various styles hanging in the room.

"Of course, Luna, I think you're good at that. Xie An pointed to the cheongsam on Qiu and Hermione's body, embroidered with all kinds of magical creatures, the style is classical and elegant, and the material is the best silk, which completely successfully combines the culture of the wizarding world and the depiction of female lines in the Chinese cheongsam.

Who would have thought that the most valuable thing in the whole store was actually wearing on two beautiful salesmen.

A few more customers came one after another, most of them didn't seem to have much money, so they casually turned around and went straight to the discount area. Fortunately, Xie An had already made preparations and imported a shipload of clothes from the East through the earl's channel, and even if he kept discounting and selling them all summer vacation, he would not sell them out.

Xie An behind the cash register still had a calm face, put away a few Elizabeth cards contributed by a balding middle-aged man, and then looked at the book in his hand seriously. Students can't easily cast magic outside of school, so Xie An can only watch, not practice.

Cho and Hermione were bored sitting on the couch chatting, if it weren't for the remoteness of this place, the lax police control, and the fact that there were people on it, maybe such a shop wouldn't have been able to open at all.

Jingle bells, a woman with big sunglasses walked into the store, well-dressed, looking beautiful, the woman first looked curiously at the young man behind the cash register, and then looked at Autumn and Hermione, who greeted her, and said in the first sentence: "Is this a black store?"

"Excuse me, what did you say?" asked Hermione, confused.

"You don't look like you're under 18. Is it now possible to hire child labour in London?" said the woman directly.

Hermione's face froze.

"No, we're not hired, we're actually our own shop. Hermione thought about it and said directly.

"A group of kids can set up shop in the East End, and they haven't been back for a few years, how good has the security here become?"

"So what do you need? do you need clothes for the latest season?" said Aki, a little nervous.

Behind the cash register, Xie An was motionless, not noticing the arrival of the customer at all, and he didn't know whether he was in a daze or pondering. Hermione and Autumn knew that Xie An was actually busy, so they didn't bother him, and when he needed to work, Xie An would naturally quickly complete his work of collecting money.

In the drawer under the cash register, there is a silver dagger. This dagger is well-made and has a classic design, it is a military product obtained by Lord Count, and it is a genuine product directly distributed to the special forces. This kind of dagger would not appear on the market at all, and if it weren't for knowing his son's strength, Lord Earl would definitely arrange bodyguards to protect the sole heir of the Li family.

In the first few days of the opening of this well-decorated, cheaply dressed shop, this dagger once easily left deep marks on other people's bodies, and then no one dared to come to find trouble anymore, at least the people around here did not dare, this child was a madman, and even more terrible was a cold-blooded madman who was anti-* in society.

"Which ones are your originals, I noticed that there is a designer at the door that says you have your own designer, can I take a look at his work?" The woman entered the store, the discounted items were in the back, and the clothes designed by Luna were placed in the front, displayed on hangers, the chandelier on the roof glowed orange, and a few electric fans turned weakly.

The air conditioner was already on, and the fan had to be turned on, which Hermione insisted on, and neither Cho nor Luna could understand.

Luna walked over a little nervously, she was wearing a casual T-shirt, fitted jeans, white hair braided, and whispered, "These are all my designs." ”

The woman looked at Luna's clothes scrutinically, first a little curious, then frowned, and after reading all the works, she laughed softly: "Classmate, you have a few good ideas, but the foundation is too poor." ”

Luna nodded in frustration, sure enough, she was still too young.

"Then how do you think these clothes should be changed?" Xie An asked softly as he walked over from behind the cash register.

The woman looked back at Xie An, smiled and said, "Little handsome guy, although your little designer has worked hard, I still suggest that she start with the most basic fabric matching or color matching, otherwise these designs will no longer look innovative, but, how to say, alternative?"

Xie An smiled and nodded, and then asked, "We can't go to learn professional fashion design knowledge due to some personal reasons, but it seems that you understand it very well, if you want, I can hire you to be her personal teacher." Teach her some basic knowledge. ”

The woman turned around, took off her sunglasses, and glanced at Xie An exaggeratedly, "Do you know who I am? ”

"Of course, Ada, I once saw a picture of you in a famous fashion magazine. They call you a genius designer. Xie An smiled at the British woman in her twenties, she looked fair-skinned, her eyes were bright, according to the magazine, this woman was a promising emerging designer, and she was very suitable to help Luna.

"I didn't expect to encounter anything interesting on a chance trip to memory, but I can't easily agree, I have to understand your background first, so as not to be deceived. Ida looked at Xie An suspiciously, not sure if this was a scam or not.

"Of course, you can ask through any channel, and if you need to, you can start now. Xie An pointed to the phone on the cash register and said calmly.

When it was confirmed that Andrew Lee in front of him was really the son of an earl, Ida was speechless for a long time in surprise. Xie An introduces Luna to Ada, and then solemnly asks Ida to fulfill Luna's little dream. Ida thought for a while, then readily agreed.

Summer vacation went by quickly, and the three girls learned a lot from this trendy female designer, one of which was how to dress up. Although Hermione refused at first, the hidden Gryffindor genes made Hermione think it would be a good idea to try.

When the summer vacation was over, Xie An didn't mention whether they made money or lost money, anyway, everyone was happy.

The owl arrives as scheduled, bringing information for the new semester, and it seems that the popular Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Lupin has something to do, Professor Quirrell is still nowhere to be heard, and the school has hired a guest professor to teach this dangerous course temporarily.

This time, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor was replaced by a man named Gilderoy Lockhart, a big celebrity with many readers and supporters among wizards.

"Oh, Hogwarts was able to invite Gilderoy Lockhart, I remember Girrod mentioned in his book that Hogwarts had invited him, but he refused. Qiu took his admission notice and said happily.

"Gilderoy Lockhart is just a squib, and all he knows is to make up stories in a little dark room. Luna immediately objected.

"What are you talking about, Luna, how can you say that about Giron..."Cho was unhappy and tried to defend his idol.

"Alright, you two, if you have time, tidy up the house, we'll go shopping in Diagon Alley in the afternoon." Hermione shouted from the hallway on the third floor.

Xie An, who felt that his destructive power had gone up another level, walked out of his room expressionlessly, and found that Hermione and the three had already changed their clothes and were waiting downstairs.

"Why do you look like today..."Xie An looked at the three girls who were all wearing Muggle clothes suspiciously, a little strange.

"Ann, don't you think it's good-looking, Ida is right, it would be a shame if a girl couldn't wear the most beautiful clothes when she's at her pretty!" Akihara spun around, showing off her colorful dress.

"Aren't you wizards?" and what about your wizarding robes?

"Andy, I think it's the nature of every girl to love beauty, it's too dark to make all wizards wear the same thing!" Luna, as the person who has changed the most recently, seems to have stood at the forefront of the personality liberation of the wizarding world.

"This...."Xie An still wanted to struggle for a while, you can't imagine a group of energetic beautiful girls in colorful and beautiful clothes haunting Diagon Alley, as if something was wrong.

"Okay, we should go, I checked the route of the knight's bus, and it seems like there is a suitable place to get on the bus after two blocks. Hermione suppressed Shay'an's rebuttal, and the three teenage girls went out of the door, and Shayne could only play the role of rickety's key manager, turning the normal business sign into a rest, and finally locking the door.
