Hogwarts Kryptonian

"Hey! Here you go? What are these clothes? Are they Muggle ones?"

"I was in a bad mood yesterday. I went shopping in the city and bought some Muggle clothes to relax. I think they look much better than wizard robes and are much more comfortable."

Lu Yunkai crossed his legs and sat in Zabini's magic items shop.

It's been two days since Hogwarts went on summer vacation, and the store is finally open.

Opposite him, the beautiful Mrs. Zabini was applying lip gloss on her plump lips.

He pursed his lips and made a cute expression in front of the mirror.

To be honest, this woman is really a monster.

Lu Yunkai sighed softly.

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

"Mediating disputes between friends!" Lu Yunkai sighed, "You said that some people don't appreciate others doing good for them, but they praise those who use them as weapons. Isn't that mean?"

"Isn't that what life is all about?" Mrs. Zabini put away her lip gloss with a smile, "If you want to make your life worthwhile, being used by others can also give them the illusion that you are still valuable, right? ?"

"That's right. You did the same to me."

"Come on! We are cooperating with each other! If I really use you, can you make a lot of money?" Mrs. Zabini rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, "Then how do you manage your Potter friends?"

"...You know I'm talking about Harry?"

"I don't know what kind of friends you have! Among those friends who can be used as gunslingers, apart from the famous Harry Potter, could it be Draco Malfoy?" Mrs. Zabini smiled. , "But I heard from Blaise that your relationship with Harry has always been very good, hasn't it? You just saved his life recently."

"It's not me. It's him and his friends..."

"girl?"

"Is gender so important?" Lu Yunkai was a little sensitive about this type of topic in front of Mrs. Zabini.

"Of course! Normal children of your age are used to getting together and making trouble with the opposite sex! After two years, you will naturally understand that it is stupid to do so." Mrs. Zabini waved her hand, "As precocious as you, you will understand that in the future, you will There are not many boys sharing the same bed with girls.”

"..."

"Your sister Eileen Hill came to see me yesterday." Seeing Lu Yunkai's unlucky look, Mrs. Zabini smiled happily, "Do you really want to hire her to grow herbs for you?"

"Otherwise? The prices of herbs in Diagon Alley are outrageous. I can't expect that every spell will produce the herbs I want to use." Lu Yunkai sighed half-heartedly, "And explain this to others. It’s also very troublesome.”

"Actually, there's no need! There's no shortage of money in the store now, and I've been busy recently. I can't sell even if you buy too many things."

"busy?"

"Private matters." The charming smile on Mrs. Zabini's face disappeared and she waved her hand.

Lu Yunkai suddenly felt a cool breeze behind him for no reason.

Do not ask! Even if you kill me, I won’t ask!

Of course, Mrs. Zabini obviously didn't intend to say anything, and she also took advantage of the situation to bring the topic to the recent business in the store.

This can be regarded as her reimbursement to her "partners".

After Christmas, the investigation into Zabini's magic items store "selling explosive corrosive potions" was concluded, and the store's lucky bag sales business suddenly improved.

One hundred and fifty gold galleons for a space bag is definitely not cheap. Not to mention a poor family like the Weasley family, even an ordinary wizard family cannot afford such consumption, but for Zabini's Magical Items Store, those people are not the target customers in the first place.

"We originally wanted to sell things to customers who don't care if they spend one hundred and fifty gold galleons on a bottle of herbicide, as long as they can one day buy a valuable bottle of potion."

This can be regarded as the best summary of Mrs. Zabini's current way of operating a magic item shop after having gained a new business experience after being "educated" in reality.

Of course, making money from potions is only a trickle. What really helps them make big money are the magic props that Lu Yunkai "changed".

In the past six months, the number of magic props Lu Yunkai "changed" has obviously decreased a lot, but the quality is not bad at all.

A brooch that has the effect of expelling vampires but without the smell of garlic, a bracelet that can simulate the breath of a dragon, a mattress that can automatically massage...

Although there is no longer a "take advantage" of exchanging a house for a cup, in the past few months, the average price of the four magic items sold in the item shop exceeded two hundred thousand gold galleons.

Lu Yunkai, who lamented "Black magic is really profitable" at Bojin Bock before entering Hogwarts, finally had a personal experience.

Even the things they sell are not related to black magic in the true sense!

"Except for the clearly ordered items on the list I gave you, the store will not stock them for the time being." After talking about what happened some time ago, Mrs. Zabini put a smile on her face again, "After cleaning up the inventory , I plan to close this store for a while.”

"oh."

"...Little guy! If you are too smart, you will die!" Seeing that Lu Yunkai didn't ask why he wanted to close the store, a strange smile appeared on Mrs. Zabini's face.

"What's wrong with you? I didn't say anything! This store belongs to you, so just close it if you like!"

"I thought you would want to take it from me and turn it into your own store!"

"I don't have time!"

"Didn't you hire a little girl? I think that girl is quite pretty. Apart from not knowing how to put on makeup, she has a very good foundation. I can help you train her later..."

"Generally speaking, what is the income of an herbal cultivator?" Lu Yunkai interrupted Mrs. Zabini's attempt to divert the topic.

"Is it okay? We belong to the middle-income class." Mrs. Zabini put away her smile and thought for a while before replying: "Herbal medicines are inherently valuable! The herbalists I knew who used to be employed by the Shafiq family could earn about An income of fifty to sixty thousand gold galleons."

"Fifty or sixty thousand? That's not much!"

"...Deducting the cost of raw materials, how much can you earn from refining potions from dawn to dusk for a year?" Mrs. Zabini rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, "This is because you can get some extremely rare materials here to refine potions that others cannot buy. If you want to sell the magic potion normally, you won’t be able to earn that much if you wake up early every day and work hard to refine the potion, right?”

"That's right." Lu Yunkai nodded, "Then... I'll give her an annual salary of 40,000 yuan?"

"I thought you would give her 70,000 yuan!" Mrs. Zabini laughed evilly again, "If you give her more money, you can let her provide some additional services..."

"unnecessary!"

"I said I was helping to look after this store! After all, there isn't anything to do at the herbal cultivation place every day!" Mrs. Zabini smiled even more happily, "What are you thinking! Do you really want to... It's not like that?" Okay! Anyway, it will take a few more years for Daphne to mature..."

"I'll leave first." Lu Yunkai interrupted Mrs. Zabini. It was really tiring to stay with her.

"Did I ask that little girl to contact you directly? Or did you go to her directly?"

"You can help me talk to her. If you need her to help you look after the store, she can also join in. Anyway, you can just pay the salary directly from the share you want to give me." Lu Yunkai said a little cunningly.

"...You brat! Are you playing tricks on me? You're a freeloader!" Mrs. Zabini immediately understood what Lu Yunkai wanted to do. "Give me access rights to your house, and we'll talk it over later." , she can go to work at your house."

"Permissions? Can't you visit my home just by knowing your name? What kind of permissions do you need!"

"..."

Mrs. Zabini smiled speechlessly and shook her head.

…

"What have you been busy with these two days??"

"...You are so fierce that you scare me so much that I don't even dare to come."

Lu Yunkai looked at Daphne who was angry with him with a smile on his face.

"Try it!" Daphne rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai, "Are you done with Hermione?"

"Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"Then you can properly write to her this summer!"

"...Why do you talk like Draco, so sinister." Lu Yunkai glared at Daphne.

"snort!"

While being arrogant, Daphne took out her wand and cast a cleaning spell on Lu Yunkai who had just walked out of the fireplace. Then she reached out and took his arm, and sat down on the sofa in the room.

"Where are your mother and sister?"

"We are all busy! Why, do we all have to come out to welcome you?"

"...I can't leave yet!"

"Sit down!!" Daphne grabbed Lu Yunkai who stood up and was about to run away.

"What Blaise said is quite right, girls are really scary sometimes." Lu Yunkai sighed and took out a jewelry box from his arms.

When she saw the small velvet box, before Lu Yunkai could say anything, Daphne's eyes lit up.

"Given to me?"

"Otherwise?" Lu Yunkai handed it to Daphne angrily.

Daphne took it with joy on her face, but seemed to remember something again and rolled her eyes at Lu Yunkai.

"Don't think that if you give me something, I will forgive you for not contacting me in the past two days."

"..."

Daphne opened the jewelry box with joy.

Inside is a pair of ear clips.

"It's the bell flower again!" Although Daphne's eyes were shining with happiness, she was still complaining, "Why do you like bell flower things so much?"

"Don't you think this is the same hairpin? I bought it in a Muggle mall." Lu Yunkai said half-truthfully.

Well, this pair of ear clips was indeed bought by Lu Yunkai when he happened to see it in a jewelry store yesterday when he went shopping in London because he was upset about adjusting the relationship between Hermione and Harry.

But at that time, he was planning to use it as a "reserve product" for Daphne as a gift at Christmas.

But today I learned from Mrs. Zabini that the big magic families in the traditional sense have all kinds of magic to protect their homes.

For example, Daphne's house is said to require a personal invitation from a direct blood relative of the head of the family before one can enter. The Malfoy family is said to be even more troublesome. They need to hang a visitor's name tag in the castle's living room so that visitor can enter...

Of course, these were all what Mrs. Zabini said to Lu Yunkai. As for whether they were true, he planned to ask Daphne and Draco later. After all, the house Lu Yunkai once belonged to a large British company famous for growing herbal medicine. The family, in order to prevent someone from sneaking into their house and stealing, requires that the owner of the house must be personally invited and hold a "token" presented by him before entering.

Then this pair of earrings was given to Daphne as the first token that Lu Yunkai made after returning home and trying several times.

Of course, Lu Yunkai hasn't figured out how to tell Daphne that he already has a house, let alone invite her to his home.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Daphne was obviously very happy when she looked at her, but she still refused to admit it. She said, "I don't like ear clips, my ears hurt when I wear them." "Why is it crystal? I like sapphire" and the like...

In fact, there seems to be nothing wrong with giving it to her as an ordinary gift to make her happy!

Lu Yunkai laughed beside him and thought to himself.
