After a long walk, when Ivan reached the end and lifted the trapdoor panel, he found himself in a cellar full of cardboard boxes.

Ivan knew in his heart that this should be the Duke of Honey candy store in Hogsmeade Village.

Squeak..

Ivan cautiously pushed open the door of the cellar, but did not see the crowded scene he imagined, and the wide storefront was a little empty.

Yes, it's not Christmas yet, it's not the weekend, and those little wizards from the third grade and above don't have much time to come here, Ivan thought.

Due to the lack of cover, Ivan's plan to sneak away quietly was caught before he could be implemented.

"Hey.. Kid over there, when did you come in? "The owner of Duke Honey was a kind wizard who always wore loose robes, but when he saw Ivan wandering around his cellar, he immediately reprimanded.

"Just now, maybe you didn't see it, right?" Ivan didn't panic, but teased very casually.

Ivan's casual attitude made the boss of Duke Honey dismiss the idea that he was here to steal candy, and his tone was much better, and he teased again.

"You must have snuck out of Hogwarts, right? The third-year imps aren't as short as you, so it's no wonder I didn't see you. ”

The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched, regretting that he hadn't learned a magic like the Silence Charm, he was already tall in the first year, okay?

Ivan depressedly took out a silver from his pocket and put it on the table.

"So, aren't you going to sell me candy?"

"Of course it's sold," Duke Honey's boss put away Yinxike at a speed that Ivan couldn't see, took out a lot of snacks from the cabinet with his backhand, and introduced them one by one.

"What are you going to buy? Zizi bee candy? Chocolate frog? Bibi multi-flavored beans? How about some cockroach piles? That's your headmaster's favorite. ”

Ivan bought some of the same, and curiously mustered up the courage to try Dumbledore's favorite, I have to say that the cockroach pile looks really disgusting, and it really looks like a large cockroach.

Ivan carefully broke off his leg and tasted it with nausea, only to realize that it was sweet, obviously made of syrup, but the bite was a little crispy, as if he was really chewing worms.

"By the way, do you know any places in Hogsmeade that sell potion materials?" Ivan tasted a few more bites of the chocolate frog and Bibi flavored beans, and then pretended to ask casually.

"There's only one potion shop in Hogsmeade." Duke Honey's boss's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked around left and right.

Ivan's heart was secretly drumming, and when he was thinking about whether he had said the wrong thing, he saw the boss leaning down and lowering his voice.

"If you want to buy aphrodisiac, it's best to go to Diagon Alley, it's been very strict here, and Old Rick doesn't sell those contraband."

Aphrodisiac? Ivan rolled his eyes, what did he buy that thing for?

He's only eleven years old this year, so he's not strong enough to have the heart, okay?

Ignoring the lewd smile on the face of Duke Honey's boss as he left, Ivan turned all the way into the alley, only to see a half-poured sign, on which the word potion could be faintly discerned, and the smell of strange and unpleasant potions was filled inside.

Ivan entered it with his nose covered, and did not see the owner here, only faintly saw green smoke and gas wafting out of the room at the end.

Just as Ivan was about to say something to get the other person's attention, he heard a voice coming from the room.

"The basic potion materials are placed at the door, and the compound decoction and height enhancer are in the cabinet next to them... In addition, the combination of aphrodisiac and vitality tonic is not sold to young wizards who have not graduated for the time being! No amount of money will work! ”

Ivan is too lazy to complain about the aphrodisiac anymore, how many little wizards have come here to ask, and they will answer so skillfully.

Ivan consciously walked to the place where the potion materials were placed,

Fortunately, his potions science had successfully improved to the level of level four these days, and he quickly sorted out the materials needed to configure the bloodline fusion potion.

Someone could guess the potion recipe based on the materials he had chosen, and Ivan also picked out some additional herbs that he didn't need, and made some adjustments in the quantity.

After Ivan made his selection, Old Rick in a patched coat opened the door, and there was a faint smell of pungent potions on his body, which Ivan had smelled at the door of the store before.

"What are you buying so much material for?" Old Rick thought that Ivan had come to buy a height enhancer, but he didn't expect to pick a lot of materials.

"Rich.. Practice your hands. Ivan took out nine gold galleons and placed them on the table.

Old Rick stopped talking for a moment, silently put away the money, and then took out twelve silver sikes and handed them to Ivan.

"Where are the boneworms and hemolytic herbs?" Ivan took the rest of the silver and asked out loud.

Old Rick's face changed, and he leaned down, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Ivan, and then said to Ivan for a while.

"I don't know what weird recipes you've found in the Hogwarts library, but I advise you not to try them at random, as Bone Herb and Hemolytic Herb are forbidden materials that are only used by a very small number of advanced potions."

"What if I pay double the gold Galleons?" Ivan asked.

"Episcot an ounce of three gold galleons... Hemolytic herbs are two gold galleons and seven silver sicos per ounce of blood—" Old Rick's eyes were full of sarcasm.

"After doubling?" Ivan frowned.

"No, it was before," Old Rick laughed.

Why don't you grab it? Ivan almost blurted out, you must know that in Diagon Alley, an ounce of dragon liver guessed seventeen silver sike, and the price of dragon blood is estimated to be about the same.

Even if there is a dragon breeding and the price has plummeted, this is still a top-quality material after all.

Why is an appendage and hemolytic grass sold for so much money?

"I said, it's contraband, every time it is sold, there must be a corresponding record, and it will not be sold anywhere with a little wizard like you." Old Rick saw that the little wizard in front of him didn't have so many gold gallons, and he suddenly lacked interest, but he still reminded him.

"And even if you pay, I can't give it to you now, I'll have to wait a while."

Ivan sighed, dispelling in his heart the idea of obtaining appendage grass and hemolytic grass by buying,

I made a lot of money by gambling before, and with the original money in my hand, it was only eleven gold galleons in total, and it was still a lot worse to buy all the materials.

Ivan also considered whether to use Floo Powder to teleport to Diagon Alley to confirm the price, so as not to be cheated by Old Rick.

But Diagon Alley is much more dangerous than Hogsmeade,

There are often third-year wizards wandering alone here, so both the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts House have strict supervision here, and the safety is self-evident, which is why Ivan dares to come here alone.
