Chapter 35： Passionate galleons

Chapter 35 Passionate Galleons

As soon as you walked into Honeydukes Candy Store, you were greeted by the scent of butterscotch. Looking around, there are many shelves in the candy store, and there are all kinds of candies and snacks on the shelves.

Albert recognized several types at a glance. The large jars in front contained buttery peanut brittle, toffee and nougat.

There were some green lollipops hanging neatly next to the shelf. Albert picked up one and was about to check the introduction next to it when a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"If I were you, I wouldn't touch this. This is sour popcorn, very sour." George put a hand on Albert's shoulder, pointed to the product introduction and explained: "Fred gave it to Ron before. Our brother bought one and it burned a hole in his tongue, so Mom beat Fred up with a broomstick."

Fred glared at his twin brother dissatisfied and protested: "You obviously bought that sour popcorn."

 “I didn’t ask you to give Ron food.” George looked innocent.

Looking at the unrepentant twin brothers, Albert quietly put the sour popping candy back on the shelf.

It can actually burn through a person’s tongue. This thing is actually made of sulfuric acid!

 “What is this?”

At the corner of the wall where you turn left when you enter, there are little mice of various colors hanging on them. They are crawling on the plastic boards on the wall, and they look like living little mice.

"This is an ice mouse." Lee Jordan introduced to Albert: "If you eat it, you will feel very cold, so cold that your teeth will chatter. After eating the candy, there will be a crunching sound in your stomach. Yes. It’s a bit like Zuko’s squeaky gummies.”

"Interesting candies." Albert looked away from the ice mouse and walked to the shelf on the right. Here was a large bucket of multi-flavor beans of various colors. In the plastic bucket next to it were various flavors of gummy candies. The shelves are neatly arranged with various chocolates.

Albert took two boxes of chocolate frogs, and then focused on the large pieces of chocolate. He bought them on the train last time, and he thought they were tastier than chocolate frogs.

Hmm, by the way, some chocolate beans too.

 Albert walked to the counter with various chocolate products.

 Behind the counter, a woman with a pleasant smile said: "A total of 4 sikes and 10 kats."

"Oh, ma'am, we meet again!" Albert looked at the salesperson on the train in surprise. He didn't expect that the salesperson was actually the boss lady of Honeydukes?

"It's you! Honey, do you need any other candies?" The woman also recognized Albert. After all, there are not many customers who buy all the products on the cart.

 “Do you have any recommendations?” Albert asked, no wonder you can see a lot of candies sold on trains here.

"Exploding gummy candies. This kind of candy is very popular among students. It will explode slightly when you bite it. Of course, it won't hurt anyone." The woman poured out an exploding gummy candy from the jar and handed it to Albert. special.

 “Try?”

 She never skimps on her smile and service to potential customer groups. Of course, this has to do with the galleons in the opponent's pocket.

Albert took the explosive-filled gummy candy, put it in his mouth and took a bite. The strawberry-flavored filling overflowed from the gummy candy. The next moment, a slight explosion came from the mouth, and people who didn't know it would be shocked.

 This should belong to the category of joke props, but the gummy tastes pretty good.

After Albert bought some exploding gummy candies, the lady boss in the store became more enthusiastic. She helped Albert put the exploding gummy candies into paper bags and packed them, and then began to introduce the various candies in the store. dessert.

“You may have tried jelly slug candy, it’s one of the best-selling products in our store.”

Albert glanced at the long slug-shaped gummy candy and raised his eyebrows slightly. Rather than saying it was a jelly slug candy, it would be more appropriate to call it a jelly snake. However, he didn't like gummy candies, so he didn't plan to buy this thing. Thinking about slugs and the like was a bit disgusting.

There are also a variety of candies and desserts in the candy store. The more famous ones are pot cakes, chocolate balls, sizzling honey bees, lollipop quills... The various candies in the store dazzled the four of them.

“This is...a cockroach?” Albert looked at the black bugs crawling in the glass jar and felt a little uncomfortable. Next to the glass jar, there were some cockroach skewers, their legs still shaking slightly.

“This is a pile of cockroaches,” the woman introduced. “One of the candies that Principal Dumbledore often buys from us. Of course, not everyone can accept candies in this shape.”

I guess only Dumbledore would like this thing!

"Have you eaten?" Albert asked sideways, and the three of them shook their heads.

　　The woman winked at Albert and said: "Here are fudge flies, which will burst into liquid in your mouth when eaten, and **** lollipops, which are very popular among most vampires."

“If you want to bully others, I recommend the Pepper Naughty Boy. After eating it, your mouth will spit fire..."

They stayed in Honeydukes Candy Shop for at least half an hour. Before leaving, the landlady enthusiastically handed Albert a shopping list from the store, winked at him and said, "If you want to buy candies, , you can use owl mail, it’s best not to sneak out by yourself.”

 When leaving the candy store, Albert had another paper bag in his hand, which contained the pineapple preserves he bought from the candy store, for which he paid 10 Sickles.

 “This stuff is not bad.” Albert took a bite of pineapple preserves.

“I always feel that the boss lady is very enthusiastic towards you.” Lee Jordan said a little jealously. From beginning to end, the landlady of Honeydukes entertained Albert warmly.

The twins also nodded in agreement with Li Qiaodan’s words. At this moment, their mouths were also filled with pineapple preserves.

“She is only passionate about Galleons, not me.” Albert looked at the expression on Lee Jordan’s face and felt a little funny.

In addition to this bag of pineapple preserves, Albert also bought a lot of things in the store. The caring lady boss said that she would help Albert mail the items to Hogwarts to prevent him from being unable to carry so many things.

　　When the four of them returned to the castle, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. After walking around Hogsmeade for several hours, the four of them were very tired, but they all thought it was an interesting trip to Hogsmeade.

“Where have you been?” Percy Weasley sat down next to the four of them, staring at the paper bag in front of them, frowning slightly.

 “It’s a secret!”

The twins looked at each other and smiled mysteriously. Of course they wouldn't say that they went to Hogsmeade, otherwise Percy wouldn't write home.

Honey Duke’s landlady was very efficient. Not long after Albert returned to the auditorium, the owl helped deliver the package.

"I think we'd better go back to the common room." Albert noticed that the package attracted the attention of others, so he called the three of them to help carry the package back to the Gryffindor common room.

Looking at the backs of the four people leaving, Percy's eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
