- #139 - Chapter 139 Chatting with the Looking Glass in the Candy Shop
After watching Nymphadora leave, he lowered his head to check the compensation details in his hand. First of all, the contract transfer tax of 30,000 galleons was returned intact. Secondly, the Ministry of Magic made a mistake and violated the rules, and compensated Ian 10,000 Galleons for his mental damages.
This ten thousand seemed high, but when he thought that the Ministry of Magic had confiscated the 300,000 galleons that Les had illegally earned, he felt a little relieved.
It was obvious that the Ministry of Magic had no intention of letting go of a fat sheep like Les.
Ian is too lazy to care about these. His first goal now is to clean up his shop. He does not intend to keep any daily necessities left by this middle-aged single man.
Use the transfiguration spell to turn all the items on the second floor into firewood, then throw it into the fireplace to light the fire. This is a perfect solution to the problem of garbage cleaning.
Then came the moment when the cleaning spell came into play. He worked back and forth for half an hour. Looking at the brand new room, Ian breathed a sigh of relief.
“It seems we need to find a house elf.” Ian suddenly thought of this.
There are specialties in the arts, and this kind of household magic must be the best among house elves. But what makes him a little helpless is that house elves are basically controlled by pure bloods and will not be leaked out at all. Even if they are sold and transferred, they will be digested internally within the pure blood circle.
“Forget it, we are serious people and don’t do tricks and plunders.” Ian comforted himself while imagining the layout of the room.
Admittedly, it was not difficult for him to get a house elf. But he doesn’t want to use magic to do things like buying and selling by force. The basis of the transaction is what you want.
After the room is vacated, the subsequent interior layout will be much easier. Ian used the Transformation Spell throughout the process to make various furniture. With full exertion, with his current level of magic, the Transformation Spell can last at least 10 years.
He simply didn’t bother to order any more furniture. The service life was as long as 10 years, which was almost enough for him. When I have free time in the future, it won’t be too late to buy things piece by piece. The top priority is to prop up the facade first.
…
Ian stood outside the alley, staring at the candy store that had a business sign on it, and said nothing for a long time.
There are ancient stone walls on both sides of the alley, and the walls are covered with vigorous green vines, giving the place a mysterious atmosphere.
There is a simple wooden sign hanging at the door of the candy store that reads “Sweet.Memory.”
This is the name Ian gave the candy store after thinking for a long time – childhood memories, or it can also be called – sweet memories.
There were no other ostentatious decorations, except for a hanging enchanted Scottish bagpipe. The melodious sound of bagpipes passed through this narrow alley, and everything here was still as peaceful as before.
Looking into the store through the glass display window, the decoration inside is also simple and warm. There are all kinds of candies on the shelves, and the colorful candy bottles are arranged neatly, exuding an alluring aroma.
“It’s time to start making new products…” Ian muttered to himself.
He still plans to take the high-quality handmade candy route, simply because he thinks it’s fun.
…
In the evening, Ian closed his eyes slightly and sat quietly on the recliner behind the counter to relax. He loved this feeling, enjoying the free time alone with himself.
Different from loneliness, loneliness contains dissatisfaction with one’s current situation and potential pity for oneself; being alone means completely accepting one’s current self, which is something that people are willing to enjoy.
After checking the time and feeling that no one would be coming at this time, he closed the door of the candy store and went up to the second floor to rest.
The second floor of this candy store was previously used as a resting place, and Ian kept this tradition tacitly. He preferred living in his own room to the small single room in the Leaky Cauldron.
Summon the Phoenix Patron Saint and send a message to Old Tom. After all, you have to tell others if you can’t help it anymore. This is the most basic respect.
“I don’t know how Hermione is doing in France.”
Lying in bed late at night, the image of a girl throwing off her slippers and kicking someone suddenly appeared in Ian’s mind… Soon, this made him sleepless. After all, a touch of delicate snow-white is always a bit dazzling.
Thinking of this, he took out the double-sided mirror beside the bed and planned to chat with Hermione before going to bed.
A snowflake screen similar to the old TV set in the previous life appeared in the double-sided mirror. After about ten seconds, the picture gradually stabilized and the girl’s figure was clearly visible.
“I thought you forgot the double-sided mirror. I stayed in France for two whole days…”
Hearing this slightly complaining tone, Ian quickly replied: “How could I forget, but something did happen in the past two days. However, I have good news to tell you.”
He knew very well that when Hermione was angry, the best way was to divert the other party’s attention, just by throwing out something that made the other party curious.
“what happened?”
“I opened a candy store in Diagon Alley and it’s open today.”
“Just in the past two days?” Hermione sounded a little unbelievable.
“It’s been two days, and you’ve already traveled from Britain to France.” Ian really missed Hermione, so his tone inadvertently revealed his longing.
“Hahaha.” Hermione smiled proudly. When she met a pair of deep and focused eyes, she could only put on a comforting expression and said:
“Hey, I’ll stay for another two weeks at most, and then I’ll talk to my mother about going back. And… I don’t want to come to France in the first place. It’s not interesting at all.”
Ian saw Hermione’s environment through the double-sided mirror. The other party should be in the hotel room. But considering the time, it was normal to stay in the hotel, but he still saw different places.
“You live alone?”
When Hermione heard such a silly question, she couldn’t help but cover her forehead with her hands. “Use your brain, how can I still live with my parents now. Besides, how can we talk if we don’t live alone?”
He actually regretted it as soon as he said it. This kind of question was obviously stupid. How could a 13-year-old girl live in the same room with her parents.
Ian feels that he is very sensible in other matters, but when it comes to Hermione, his IQ is not online. Especially as Hermione grows older, all aspects are ‘changing’ rapidly.
What’s more, Hermione at this moment must have just washed up, wearing a light green nightgown, just holding her arms, lying on the bed chatting. There were no precautions for video chatting at all, which made Ian feel a little emotional in his heart, lamenting this gift of nature…
“Hermione, do you want to see what the candy store looks like?” After saying this in a mysterious way, Ian was a little afraid to look into the other person’s eyes.
