Chapter 37: Miracle alchemy

After solving the Black House and Ravenclaw's secret room, it is time to start the shop.

Lucius did not disappoint Schelling. Schelling only paid two thousand gallons. Not only did he buy the shop in Hogsmeade, but he also bought the Malfoy brand in the Magic Equipment Control Bureau of the Ministry of Magic. Registered a patent for the "anti-stun bracelet". In this way, there was still a lot of money left, and Schelling took the remaining Garon and put it on the decoration of the shop.

(Note: The Magic Equipment Control Bureau does not appear in the original work. It is from the Daily Prophet. It has confiscated Willie Wagstaff’s illegal wand, which specifically manages the quality and safety of magic items. The author privately added management to it. Patent setting)

(Note: The fact that there are "patents" in the wizarding world is not fabricated by the author. In the original work, there is a "Comical Product Patent Office" in the subordinate department of the Sports Department, which specializes in handling patents for hoax props)

Schelling also gave the shop a name. He didn’t plan to follow the conventions of most wizarding businesses and choose a cheesy name like "Malfoy Alchemy Shop." He probably knew the brand if he was a Muggle in his previous life. Based on the principles of sales, an impressive name is very important. Therefore, the name of this shop is called Miraculous Alchymia (Miraculous Alchymia), which means to create miracles for alchemy.

(Note: Most of the retail stores in the wizarding world in the UK are actually named after the owner’s last name, such as Orivand’s Wand Shop, Mrs. Morkin’s Robe Shop, Bogembok Shop, etc. The five known exceptions are 咿La Owl House, Magical Animal Store, Quidditch Boutique, Honey Duke, Fengya Brand Clothing Store)

(Note: The original name of Lihen Bookstore is Floris-Blott Store; the original name of Tufan Garment Store is Weifei Taidingo Store; the original name of Jumping Jokes Store is Gambo-Jeppers Store; both Named after the owner’s last name)

Lucius arranged for Schelling to take care of the alchemy workshop by a young couple. They are the children of the Malfoy family. According to Lucius, there is no problem with loyalty. Of course, did Lucius use anything behind his back. Schelling didn't know the unknown means.

Although they have never been exposed to alchemy, the anti-faint bracelet is not too advanced. Moreover, Schelling did not intend to teach them the complete production process from beginning to end, but to personally use the Runic symbols. After engraving on the bracelet, only the later steps of beautification, carving, and perfection are left to them.

Schelling found Draco, Daphne, Meredith, and Pansy's helpers at Hogwarts, made a thousand pieces of initial supply in one go, and handed them to two shop assistants. The first three are the people Schelling trusts most, and the relationship between Pansy and Draco is getting closer. Since this semester, Pansy's personality has changed a lot. Although it is still a little bit arrogant, but at least it doesn't look like it anymore. The original book was so mean and aggressive, so Schelling regarded her as his own for his brother's sake.

(Note: Pansy’s changes were influenced by Draco. Draco gradually became mature and popular. She knew that if she did not make changes, she might lose her position in Draco’s heart)

(Note: Schelling does not distrust Astoria, but she is still young and has never studied alchemy and runes)

Anyway, the Alchemy Workshop is not far from Hogwarts, and there is a direct secret passage underneath the shop where Schelling can enter and exit at any time. If they need to replenish the supply, they can find Schelling at any time.

Although choosing to operate in this way will take up some of Schelling's precious time, this is only Schelling's initial plan. Once the business is on track, and the couple has proven their value in the early days of their business, Schelling will not hesitate to teach them the steps and secrets of the complete production process. Of course, set a new one. An unbreakable vow to ensure that they will not leak secrets is also very necessary.

On the first day of the opening, the media across the UK and even across Europe advertised the Miracle Alchemy Shop with great fanfare. In addition to the small discounted advertising fee charged by Schelling in the Daily Prophet, the others The media advertised Schelling for free. Of course, this is due to the beautiful Gulana sister who stands behind Xie Lin.

On that day, there was a constant flow of people in front of the shop, and the side roads of the whole village were full of people. It can be seen that the wizards have been suffering from the side effects of Floo fans for a long time, and now they have anti-stun bracelets, and they can finally get rid of them. The days when the world is spinning and dizzy. From the Ministry of Magic, at the suggestion of Amelia, Fudge directly placed a large order of 500 pieces generously, which made Schelling a lot of money. This transaction alone allowed Schelling to cover all the expenses of opening the shop. Ben it.

(4 gallons of gross profit for an anti-halo bracelet is quite reasonable, right?

Then, Xie Lin did not forget to take a day out to go to Professor Bok to learn about the vanishing cabinet. Professor Bok did not prefer Schelling, but among the students in the class, only Schelling's test performance was up to his requirements.

For Schelling, this is a rare learning opportunity. Learning to repair the vanishing cabinet is second, and more importantly, if you can have a deeper understanding of the structure of the vanishing cabinet and the space magic contained in it, then the greatest gain will be gained.

The original intention of the inventor of the Vanishing Cabinet was to create a secret passage for escape, but he never thought that the relevant technology could be used in other ways. Think about it, if you create a small vanishing cabinet and control the manufacturing cost to an acceptable range, you can use it to replace the owl and become a channel for delivering letters and parcels.

On the same day, under the guidance of Professor Bock, Schelling fulfilled his expectations and completed the repair of the dilapidated Vanishing Cabinet. In the original book, Draco in the 6th grade spent most of the semester to complete the feat. For Schelling in the 3rd grade, it was half a day. It shows how high Schelling's alchemy level has reached.

Of course, Professor Bock’s expertise in the vanishing cabinet is also one of the factors. In contrast, Draco in the original book only learned a little from Mr. Borkin. Borkin once said that if he can see the real object and the damage, maybe he can repair it faster.

(Note: Mr. Bokin is a member of the Bokin family and has nothing to do with the Bokin family; the Bokin shop is a joint business of two families; in this book, the author sets the Bokin family as a vassal of the Bokin family because of the latter It is one of the 28 holy families. It is reasonable to say that the background should be stronger, but both families are famous for alchemy)

After the restoration of the vanishing cabinet was completed, Xie Lin asked for the vanishing cabinet to be taken away. The reason he gave was that he wanted to conduct a more in-depth study of its structure. Although it is said that the Vanishing Cabinet belongs to Hogwarts, since it was destroyed by Pippi, it has been abandoned by the house elves in the responsive house, and no one cares about it at all. Professor Bok is generous with the generosity of others.

Obtained    Vanishing Cabinet!

Schelling intends to find a chance to go to Knockover Alley later, and buy the vanishing cabinet in the Bojinbok store, so that he will have another secret road leading directly to Hogwarts.

After all the matters have been dealt with, Schelling is only one last task, so that he can devote himself wholeheartedly to reading Ravenclaw's collection-dealing with Harold Dingo, Astoria’s hatred of him is still not there. Forget it!

The next day, a very sensational event happened in Hogwarts. Harold Dingo tried to break into the women’s bathroom to peep, but was smashed by a senior girl, and finally failed to get what he wanted.

"Hahaha... Laughing at me!" In Schelling's dormitory, Daphne was holding her belly and laughing so hard that she could not straighten her waist.

Just now, she, Schelling, and Astoria witnessed that Dingo, who was beaten and bruised, was taken away by Filch.

Schelling also had a smile in his eyes, "Tolly, I will avenge you for your grievances. I'm sure this guy never dreamed of finding a girlfriend in Hogwarts before he graduated."

Schelling secretly chanted a confusing spell to the other party when Dingo passed the women's bathroom, but the guy turned his head into the women's bathroom, and the next scene almost made them laugh. There was a scream from the bathroom, and the three of them saw Dingo running out of the women's bathroom with his face covered, and then a group of girls chased after the pervert, causing the whole castle to jump around.

While he was being chased, Schelling cast a spell silently and wandlessly, removing the Confusion Curse on him. Finally, he was caught by Schuyler Fawcett, a fifth-grade girl from Ravenclaw, and he fixed it severely. It was not until Filch, who had heard the news, arrived, that he looked like a dead dog. Taken away like that.

(Note: Fawcett is a character in the original book. The college and grade are all official establishments, and the name is assigned to her by the author)

Filch handed him to Professor McGonagall, who had no room for sand in his eyes. Professor McGonagall, who heard about the whole incident, was very angry and punished him to clean every male toilet in the castle. Notify his family. Ding Ge once explained that he accidentally entered the women's bathroom because of the confusion curse. After Professor McGonagall's inspection, there was no such thing.

At this time, Astoria’s heart is still very kind. She has forgotten what happened before Dingo's attack, but she didn’t expect Schelling not to say it. In fact, she always keeps her own things firmly in mind. , I was very moved for a while, and even ignoring that my sister was nearby, rushed to kiss Xie Lin on the cheek.

After doing this, she felt that her face was hot and her neck was red, "Thank you, Brother Xie Lin, you, you are so kind to me!"

Daphne looked at this scene, seeming to understand something, and cast a bitter look at Xie Lin, which seemed to be saying, "She's my sister! How can you do this...".

A cold sweat broke out on Schelling’s forehead. I was wronged, people didn’t want it! Of course this is not the case, and only Xie Lin knows it in his heart.

This matter is not over yet-at breakfast the next day, a roaring letter resounded throughout the hall. Harold Dingo's mother thought he had lost the face of the Dingo family The letter yelled at him.

This incident has greatly affected the perception of Gryffindor by other colleges. Although Gryffindor has produced many mischiefs, such as the predator and the Wesley twins, they have all adhered to an invisible bottom line, Ding Ge's approach undoubtedly crossed the bottom line of pranks, enough to make people feel disgusted.

Next, Dingo’s life was very difficult. Schuyler Fawcett’s boyfriend Stebbins in Hufflepuff had trouble finding Dingo for this matter. Hufflepuff’s spirit of unity was revealed at this moment. , The little badgers stood firmly behind Stebbins to support-if they saw Dingo in the corridor, even if they didn't speak bad words to him, they would cast him a look of contempt.

Ravenclaw's kitties, under the leadership of Schuyler Fawcett and Roger Davis, also began to alienate Dingo and his friends.

Cormac McLagen also promised the cubs of the same class at the beginning that the matter would be handed over to him, and the matter would be revealed soon. However, he did not expect that they would be in Ravenclaw and Hedge. Paggy’s little wizards touched a nail there, and they didn’t sell Kaomak’s face at all.

Schelling even saw Zhang Qiu and Marietta Ekmo in the corridor, who had always been gentle and gentle, and walked away indifferently at Kaomak, making Kaomak so faceless, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

(Note: As mentioned earlier, this book sets Harold Dingo as the 4th grade, which is the same grade as Cormac McLagen and Katie Bell)

Dingo, who was the cause of everything, was under great pressure even inside Gryffindor. Voices complaining about him began to appear among the cubs of the same session, and he became silent and low-key. He even asked his roommate for three meals. Take it back to the bedroom.
