After entering Hogsmeade, Ryan found that the town was still as lively as ever. Especially after a large number of wizards fled here, the local market boomed, which made it take a little effort for Ryan and the others to squeeze out of the crowd and rush to the Weasley Joke Shop.

The Weasley Joke Store was completely different from what it used to be, and the various joke products that used to lead the lead role were now pitifully squeezed into the corners of the store. The windows and shelves that were vacated are now filled with all sorts of defensive items, from defensive suits to special smoke grenades, from decoy bombs to elemental magic tutorials.

"Good morning, Sirius. "While approaching the door of the store's backyard warehouse, Ryan bumps into an unexpected person. "I think you Aurors must be very busy, why are you here today?"

"I don't want to, but it's a task assigned by the Ministry of Magic. Sirius said, lifting the box in his hand. Ryan saw that the eight corners of the brown suitcase were wrapped in bronze sheets, and it looked very strong. On the front of the chest is a gold capital letter M, and in the middle of the letter m is a wand with a vertical wand.

"Oh, is it for the Ministry of Magic?" Hermione looked at the chest with the Ministry of Magic logo with interest, if she guessed correctly, it was supposed to be a space box. "What are you going to buy this time?"

"A large number of defensive props, at least 100 bronze bracelets, need to be purchased. Sirius turned his head to Ryan. "Ryan, these props you made are really useful. In recent times, they have saved more than one life. But the problem now is that your store is a little short of stock. ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Ryan said as he took the pouch from his waist and shook it. "I just made a batch of new products, and the rest of the store should meet your needs. ”

With that, he pulled one bracelet after another from his pocket and placed them on the table beside him, and it wasn't until he took out the thirty-seventh bracelet that Sirius nodded that it was enough.

"I remember you bought it last time!" Sirius Ryan, looking at the bracelet in the box, asked puzzled. "Why do you want so many more this time, do you have so many people to use these things?. ”

"There are absolutely enough people. Sirius put all the bracelets away and counted them again, then closed the box. "Don't you know that these bracelets have become consumables? In this way, they will make many more mistakes in battle than before. ”

"In this case, the previous batch of bracelets naturally wears out quickly. But correspondingly, we can use the limited manpower to complete various complex tasks, and at the same time can promote the rapid growth of everyone. So on the whole, the consumption of these bracelets is still worth it, and the only bad thing is that you need to trouble you. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do. Ryan nodded. "After all, life is the most important thing, and it is always a very worthwhile thing to be able to exchange materials for life. ”

"Yes, I think so too. Also, thank you for quoting the Ministry of Magic for being a cost price, so that more front-line warriors can have adequate defense. With that, Sirius picked up the crate and walked to the front of the store, "Alright, goodbye." I'm going back to the Ministry of Magic now. By the way, the thing you did in the London Department of Magic was beautiful. ”

As an Auror of the Ministry of Magic, Sirius can see a lot of news that outsiders can't. Naturally, he also knew who the people who hung those dark wizards on the street lamps before. For Sirius, who grew up in the Black family, this-for-tat method was the most to his liking.

"Good luck!" Ryan watched Sirius walk into the front room with the box, and had to say that the job was indeed a good fit for Sirius. Especially as a shareholder of the joke store, he can go directly to the warehouse to pick up the things he needs and go to the front to pay the bill. This saves a lot of time, and at the same time, it is much more efficient when picking up things.

After bidding farewell to Sirius, Ryan led Hermione upstairs to the store. George was upstairs making some kind of potion when he saw Ryan come in and put out the fire under the still.

"Is it okay for you to stop making potions, won't you waste this potion of potions?" Hermione asked, looking at George, who had stopped making potions, and pointed to the pile of bottles and cans in front of them.

"Of course not, and my level of crafting finished potions is a pure waste. George said with a smile. "So I'm only doing some of the potion raw materials now, for example, just now I was distilling white fresh essential oil, which is one of the necessary raw materials for making white fresh flavor. Hopefully, these half-finished raw materials will help you craft more potions. ”

"Thank you then. Ryan nodded, then handed over the space bag. "Here's my new batch of props, you can put them on the shelves now. When I came here just now, I saw that there were many places on the shelves with labels that said they were out of stock. ”

"It's really out of stock. George took the space bag and opened it to look at it and said, "Recently, there have been conflicts, so many things that are not usually used have become consumables. In addition, ordinary people also hope to get some magic items to defend themselves. So all of our Defence Against the Dark Arts stuff is selling really well right now. ”

After saying that, he took out a crystal bottle as large as a thermos bottle from his space bag, and the crystal bottle was reinforced by some steel and silver frames, and contained some emerald green liquid like flowing emeralds.

"Ah, is this a concentrating potion?" said George after opening the bottle and sniffing it with his hand. "We can take as many potions as the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix have, because we need this potion that will have a partial effect on the most heart-piercing spells. ”

Speaking of this, George looked a lot more excited, and his face turned red. "Those damn Death Eaters, and some of the more evil than Death Eaters at the London Ministry of Magic have been abusing the Cruciate Curse, and the other day Moody led a group of Aurors to storm the manor of a pure-blood family and rescued a dozen people from it. As a result, each one of them was tormented by the Diamond Curse. ”

"Can you believe it?" said George, waving his hand excitedly. "One of the little boys was only six years old, and the Death Eaters were able to use the Heart Dashing Charm. And the only reason they do it is because they find it fun. ”

"Really—" Hermione covered her mouth with her hands. "So, what happened to the evildoers?"

"All ran away. George said with a very upset look. Of course, Moody is not to blame them. There were seven Death Eaters in that house, and Moody and they were only five. After storming the manor, in order to rescue the hostages and protect the hostages, Moody and the others had no power to stop the fleeing Death Eaters. ”

"That's right. Ryan bowed slightly, "Anyway, saving the innocent is always more important than punishing the criminals. By the way, how are the rescued hostages doing now?"

"The situation is ok. George smiled. "Fortunately, not every Death Eater's Soul Curse is so effective, plus we rescued and healed it in a timely manner. So although some of these hostages have serious injuries, there should be no permanent damage. Of course, the conciliatory elixir and soothing incense you have developed play an indispensable role in the healing process. ”

"That would be great. Ryan pointed to the space bag in George's hand now, "I have prepared a total of ten bottles of this concentrating potion, which should be enough for those who need to use it now." ”
