Chapter 129: Salesman?
After the feast, the students of each house were led by their prefects to the common room, Ravenclaw took the lead, and Charles could still hear Percy's nervous and serious voice as he left, the deliberately bureaucratic voice that made him almost laugh.
No matter how many times he saw it, Charles couldn't help but admire the magic of magic in his heart, which is a mysterious power that is very different from technology, but later people are obsessed with the power of magic and ignore the application of magic by their ancestors.
Grade by grade students walked up, there were not many new students, and soon after Marietta and Charles said goodbye, the freshly baked third-year students walked up the steps.
A strange laugh suddenly appeared, and while many students were exclaiming, some people shouted in unison: "It's Peeves!" Where's Charles?! ”
Bang!
Charles, who was walking up the stairs, lived up to expectations, drew his wand at a speed that was imperceptible to everyone, and after a loud bang, the water bag dropped by Peeves hit him in turn, obviously it was ordinary sewage, but it broke through the limit of matter and splashed the ghost, Peeves screamed, dropped a series of curses and rushed into the wall.
Some of the students who were lucky enough to escape Peeves' prank turned around and thanked Charles, who smiled in response, and Laris, who had pulled out half of his wand next to him, withdrew his wand without a trace, and whispered, "Hell, how did you react so quickly?" ”
Charles's smile remained unchanged, and the corners of his mouth replied, "Just practice more." ”
Larris cut off, the mantra he had learned from Charles, "Actually, you stop Peeves every time you do it, which makes him like the mischievous Ravenclaw students more and more." ”
"I know, so I'm going to teach Peeves a lesson to remember."
Laris was curious about what his friend was telling him what the lesson was, but by this time the common room had arrived, and the prefect in front was answering the eagle knocker question.
"Fire or Phoenix, which comes first?"
"Infinite loop."
The door to the lounge opened, the students walked in, Charles glanced up at the stars in the dome, Marietta, who was walking towards the girls' lounge in front of her, waved goodbye to her, and Laris walked to his room with a narrow smile.
When most of the students had dispersed, and Penelope did not know where to appear, the intellectual girl laughed in a gentle voice, "That little girl seems to have a good impression of you." ”
Charles smiled lightly: "That's a pity, I don't like children." ”
The slender and soft arm passed through Charles's armpit from behind, allowing his back to touch two tall and soft masses, and a low laugh sounded in his ears: "It's okay, Charles, although you go to prove your charm, you can only have me in your heart, this is your agreement with me." ”
Charles pulled up a rouge and kissed it lightly on the tip of his index finger: "This is really an offer that people can't refuse, ma'am, are you sure you won't regret it?" ”
Penelope's gentle laughter was as soft as a spring breeze: "In the presence of Ravenclaw, Charles, the wise woman has her way of mastering her own happiness. ”
Charles grabbed Rouyi and said softly, "I promise." ”
The chuckle came from near and far, and when Charles turned his head, he saw only the corner of the robe in front of the door of the girls' lounge, shrugging noncommittally, and the common room was empty except for the stars on the dome and carpet.
Charles pulled out his wand, holly wood, thirteen inches, the dragon's heartstrings, and when he got it at Ollivanders, the dazzling magical light surprised Ollivander as well.
With a slight wave, the lights in the common room were so low that the classical arched windows on the walls were pulled open a little, and the watery night breeze of Hogwarts blew into the room, although the Ravenclaw common room was extremely high, it didn't feel cold at this time.
He found a sofa in the corner and sat down, the soft lining and the excellent feel of the cloth made people feel very comfortable.
Charles closed his eyes, the unknown power in his body was slowly running, and the spiritual power was slowly absorbed by the blood veins with pranayama meditation, nourishing the blood veins like nutrients.
Whew-
The sudden sound of the wind echoed in the room, blowing the books on the ground that had been thrown casually, Charles's ears moved, he stopped and opened his eyes, and seeing that he was still alone in the common room, he got up and walked to the boys' room.
……
Harry had never imagined that there could be such a boring thing as a history of magic class at Hogwarts so magical and dreamy, and that Professor Binns, who was a ghost, would tell all the interesting and uninteresting history in his emotionless flat voice, like the dead rat that Aunt Petunia had swept out of the attic last summer.
Then he was greeted by a third-year student named Kenneth.
He looked at Kenneth and gave Professor Binns a cautious look, unfolded a cloth bag to Harry, and said with a mysterious expression, "Are you the boy who didn't die?" Oh my God, can you sign me...... By the way, I've got good Muggle stuff here, do you want to check it out? Toys, snacks, magazines...... Oh, don't ask me what a magazine is, my boss said it was called a magazine. ”
"Hey? Who is this guy? Ron, who was about to fall asleep, looked at the stranger who appeared next to the two in a bit of a daze.
Harry blinked, he clearly felt that this guy in front of him was different from other people who cared about his scars or identity, he was like the salesman who had been kicked out by Uncle Dursley the previous spring, and all the compliments he had given to Dudley were just to get Uncle Dursley to buy the slimming tea he recommended.
Kenneth gave him that feeling.
"Hey, I said...... Well, I'm Muggle-born. Harry whispered back.
"What?" Kenneth suddenly became incredulous and a little embarrassed, and after a few dry laughs, he reacted very quickly and said, "It's okay, it's okay...... Ah, would you like to take a look at it too? Maybe it will give you a little bit of a home away from home. ”
Harry thought to himself for laughing, he had seen many wizards treat strange Muggle things as a rarity, such as some people treating toilet plugs as something magical.
But maybe Kenneth's 'home' touched him a little, Hogwarts did give him the same feeling of home, every classmate was his family, and he made up his mind that it would be a big deal to spend a few silver to take care of the business.
Then his eyes widened.
Kenneth was definitely not selling the mess, he was like a professional Muggle salesman, soda crackers, caramel cookies, macarons...... Some were also eaten by wizards, he had seen them at the Great Hall table, and some were Muggle-only snacks.
There are also poker, chess, checkers...... Hell, he didn't even play with the Dursleys, he only played with Charles Francis' brother at 12 Privet Road, and he caused Aunt Petunia to lose his temper, only to be scared when Charles threatened to tell the Office about Dudley's plagiarism in his final exams.
And also...... Harry's face flushed, and he seemed to have seen a couple of Playboy magazines.
"I, I want this......" Harry picked out the checkers, he was going to share the game with Ron, and after he pulled out his money bag and paid for it, he suddenly realized something.
"I say, is your boss Charles Francis?"
Kenneth looked surprised: "Are you really a freshman?" How do you know??? ”
