Perhaps because it was still early, there were no other customers in the Lady Morkin Robe Specialty Store for the time being.

As soon as Elena entered, she was greeted by a short, stocky, smiling witch dressed in purple—the mistress of the shop, Lady Morkin.

"A new Hogwarts student, dear?"

Before Elena could speak, Lady Morkin said with a smile.

The witch looked up at the temporarily departing figure outside the door, "Dumbledore? ”

Retracting her gaze, Madame Morkin curiously glanced at the little silver-haired girl standing in front of her, and smiled, "Come on, come with me to the back of the shop and try on the clothes first." ”

The space behind the robe shop is large, much larger than what you see on the street. Madame Morkin motioned for Elena to stand on a footstool, put on a robe for her, and quickly pinned her length to fit her, and clapped her hands pleasantly.

"Alright, the size of the robe is measured. Honey, would you like to sit down on the couch and take your time to choose the clothes you need to buy next?

"What do I need to buy next?"

Elena repeated it with a slight hesitation, and the tone of her voice suddenly reminded her of the hairstylists in the barbershop in her previous life—obviously just a simple fix for bangs, and usually ended up with a skincare membership card for several thousand yuan for no apparent reason.

The girl vigilantly covered the purse around her waist and shook her head politely, "No need, I remember that only ...... were written on the list"

Madame Morkin shook her head helplessly and chuckled gently.

"Oh. Honey, you don't think that all Hogwarts students go to school for a whole semester wearing only three black wizarding robes, a cloak, and a wizarding hat, right?"

The Fat Witch shrugged her shoulders and continued to explain without thinking, apparently this was not the first time she had faced such doubts.

"As long as it's not too embarrassing, most students usually choose to order a few shirts, short skirts, and a standard sweater for autumn and winter. Incidentally, Hogwarts is a full-boarding school, so it's best to have all the clothes at once. ”

Isn't this the legendary semi-compulsory bundle of consumption?

From this point of view, if a poor child wants to go to a wizarding school, the first thing he has to learn is how to counter the terrible magic of [Upside Down Golden Bell].

Obviously, there is a high probability that a certain Potions professor who does not want to be named is because he did not accept the semi-compulsory bundle consumption provided by the clothing store, which led to a series of tragic love stories that followed.

In fact, this part of the revenue from Hogwarts' personal uniform customization accounts for at least 80% of the revenue of Madame Morkin's robes store.

After all, compared to the robes that are used all year round, the daily uniform needs corresponding to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter alone are a large expense, not to mention that the little witches will have additional expenses on underwear and skirts.

"And, my dear, a pretty little witch like you needs to prepare a few more sets of clothes of different models. Here I suggest you refer to the list of outfits that most of the little witches buy. After all, you'll be a big girl very soon, and when it comes to outdoor classes......"

Although Madame Morkin spoke more tactfully, Elena already understood what she meant. All in all, if you don't want to go into battle in a vacuum, you'll have to buy some extra normal base clothing to wear under the robe.

Elena imagined for a moment that she was riding a broomstick, the sour scene of her leaking air, and the scene where the boys in the school could see her delicate PP when they looked up, and shivered.

"Needless to say, you're right, I'll buy it!, but, dear Madame Morkin, I think we have a lot to discuss about some of these details. ”

The silver-haired little Lori sat up straight, opened the reference book that Madame Morkin handed her, and began to examine them carefully one by one.

The situation is stronger than people, after all, she is not a tough steel guy like Professor Snape, and she must buy it.

But if she gave up resistance and was obediently slaughtered, then she would not be the Elena Caslana who changed the color of all shops in the Scottish Highlands with her skillful bargaining skills.

......

When Dumbledore returned to Madame Morkin's robes store, Elena was halfway through her conversation with Madame Morkin.

As Elena had guessed, there were actually quite a few items that could be cut in Mrs. Morkin's "bespoke package".

"Before I was sixteen, I would never wear high heels. So, please remove all the shoes that don't keep my heels level with the balls of my feet. Elena pointed to the contents of the atlas and said with a serious expression.

The fat witch's face was completely devoid of its previous ease at the moment

"Well, I suggest that you can actually replace it with a few pairs of flat leather shoes, sneakers, lady's shoes. In this case, it will save about 11 s.e. ”

"No, I've got a couple of pairs of flat little white shoes, small tactical booties. Faced with Madame Morkin's proposal, Elena firmly refused unmoved.

Raising her head, she happened to see Dumbledore standing at the window with two big ice creams, and the silver-haired little Lori's eyes lit up suddenly. "Hmm, I'm sorry...... After a little absence, Professor Dumbledore came looking for me.

"Go, go, go...... It's just the right time for me to take a break and brush up on what I've talked about before. ”

Madame Morkin rubbed her brow with some headache and waved her hand weakly—frankly, she had never met such a formidable opponent since she had started running the gown shop.

From the fabric of the cloth size, to the material of the clasp on the cloak, from the labor cost, to the so-called human physiology...... This little silver-haired girl is always able to patiently cut the price from one copper nat to another from all kinds of tricky and irrefutable angles.

So much so that later on, Lady Morkin even had the feeling that she was not talking to a ten-year-old Hogwarts freshman, but was discussing a big deal with several Gringotts elves.

"It's been so long, haven't you finished buying clothes?"

Dumbledore handed the ice cream in his hand to Elena and asked in confusion, his impression that Lady Morkin had always been a fairly capable and skilled witch.

"We're only halfway there...... I have to admit that Mrs. Morkin is much more powerful than the clothing store owner in the town, and she is indeed a successful businessman who can open a shop in Diagon Alley. ”

Elena sat down on the stone steps in front of the robe shop, squinting her eyes and licking the strawberry ice cream, which was almost half the size of her fist. Under the summer sun, the pink ice cream scoop floated above the ice mist, and the raspberry jam as a condiment with crushed nuts made people even more appetizing, and the sweet and cold taste instantly eliminated all her previous fatigue.

"It'......s only halfway there?"

Dumbledore was slightly stunned, he really couldn't imagine why it took so long to buy a few school uniforms. However, after this period of getting along, he could vaguely guess through the sad-faced Madame Morkin inside that most of Elena had started her almost demonic eloquence speech again.

"In that case, I'll go to the Blotted Bookstore to help you buy all the textbooks you need for school. If you're done early, just wait for me for a while, and then we'll go buy you a wand. ”

Dumbledore pondered for a few seconds, then quickly made up his mind, turning around and about to walk towards the location of the Blotted Bookshop.

"Hmm, wait......"

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Elena, who was still biting on ice cream, quickly stood up and stopped in front of Dumbledore (because she was holding two large ice creams with both hands, one left and one right, she could only do this).

Dumbledore quickly stopped his pace so as not to accidentally bump into the reckless silver-haired little Lori, and asked with a little confusion.

"Hmm, any more questions?"

"Uh-huh, Kim Galleon. Buy books, with my money. ”

Elena swallowed the ice cream in her mouth, turned to her side, and showed the small bag containing the golden Galleons around her waist to Dumbledore.

"You know, Hogwarts has a special fund, so it's no problem to help you buy a set of textbooks......"

Dumbledore crouched down, his gaze parallel to Elena's, and said with a smile.

"Papa Benitez said I wasn't an orphan. So you don't need school money. ”

Elena shook her head and said in a firm tone.

“......”

Dumbledore was silent for half a second, nodded solemnly, and reached out to count twenty gold gallons from the small bag around Elena's waist, "I'm sorry, I'll give you the bill for the book purchase later." Is there anything else?"

"Something else......"

The silver-haired little Lori blinked her big bright eyes, pouted slightly cutely, tilted her head and thought about it carefully, and whispered.

"Hmm...... If you can, can you buy me a few more copies of Mr. Newt Skindamander's books in addition to "Monsters and Their Origins" on the list? I've always loved magical beasts in the wizarding world. ”
