Amosta didn't know that Harry, who had not yet met him, had already learned clearly from Hagrid about his great achievements in school. However, even if he knew, he would probably just laugh it off.
When the sky was slightly bright, he had already gotten up after falling asleep after two o'clock in the middle of the night. This was probably one of the benefits of being a wizard. A wizard with a superb memory and powerful magic is far more powerful than a Muggle. energy.
In the past three years or so, Amosta has become accustomed to a homeless life.
Many times, in order to do things for his employer, he had to stay for more than ten days in remote wilderness, primeval forests, or in ancient ruins buried deep underground. Living in the open air was commonplace. Being able to lie in a warm bed for several hours was a rare treat for him.
Although the weather has cleared up, the climate is still cold in the morning. The snow on the lawn shows no sign of melting, and the strength of the ice on the frozen black lake is comparable to that of snakewood.
Amosta, who was jogging along the lakeside in the morning, stood under a willow tree and took a rest. From a distance, he saw a black shadow approaching him quickly from the castle.
"Dumbledore asked me to give it to you."
The light golden sunlight mixed with micro-powder hit Snape's face, making his cold and rigid expression His face softened slightly, and a few steps away, he threw a black money bag to Amosta.
"How much is the total?"
Amosta shook the heavy purse in his hand and asked with interest,
"Two thousand gold plus Long, Dumbledore was very generous and added two hundred galleons to your request. Huh, Minerva's face is not very pretty. Minerva just found out about your return to Hogwarts. She wants to talk to you alone about your next plans."
"Tsk"
The meeting with the stern vice-principal did not bother Amosta. He opened the bag and took a look inside. The dazzling, golden light immediately made him feel extremely comfortable.
"Tell me, what will happen if I run away with this money now?"< /p>
"Unless you can escape to the moon, I don't recommend you do such a stupid thing."
Snape said lightly, he lowered his head and picked up the Amosta, who was playing with a gold coin on his fingertips, focused his eyes on his shining eyes.
"Also, I want to remind you, Amosta, I don't know very well. , and I’m not curious about why the color of your eyes has changed so much since you went to school, but Dumbledore seems to be very interested in it. He gave me the opportunity to ask you about the things that interest him in general. He will always try his best to figure it out, so I advise you to be mentally prepared."
Amosta's fingers suddenly stiffened, and after a brief moment of silence, he returned to normal and uttered something. Deep emotion,
"Wow, what an incredible wizard"
ComparedDue to the rapid pace of change in the Muggle world, the evolution of wizarding society, which is more traditional than mainstream society, is incredibly slow.
Although, in recent years, private calls for reform have continued, but those weak voices are just seeds buried deep in the frozen soil waiting for moisture. Only when the right time comes, will they have a chance to take root and sprout.
Hogsmeade, the only remaining pure wizarding village in the British wizarding world, is basically the same as when he was a student at Hogwarts. The few changes are probably Zuko's Joke Shop and Duke Bee. On the signboard of the candy store, some new products have been launched.
Amosta even suspected that if a medieval wizard accidentally traveled to modern times, he might not get lost in Hogsmeade.
It is still during the Christmas holiday, and the streets and alleys of Hogsmeade are deserted and not many people can be seen. The aborigines who occasionally pass by also have hurried expressions and are busy with their own things.
Amosta walked all the way inside and stood in front of a store with gray glass windows against the north wind.
Devisbans Magic Supplies Store, this is Amosta’s destination on this trip.
Ding Ding Ding
The copper bell hanging at the door made a clear sound, and Amosta pushed the door open and walked into the store.
The dim magic supplies store is filled with more than a dozen shelves that are flush with the ceiling. The old shelves include looking glasses, memory balls, anti-monsters, and broomstick care products. boxes, Quidditch equipment boxes, and many other magical supplies and alchemy items.
The slightly bald Mr. Bans seemed not to have expected a customer to visit so early, so his expression was a bit stunned. However, after regaining consciousness, he immediately came out from behind the counter and ran with an attentive smile. Go to Amosta,
"Dear guest, what do you need to purchase? Devisbans Magic Supplies Store has everything, I can guide you."
" Oh, thank you."
Amosta, who was looking up at the tall shelves, nodded and thanked, "Well, do you have a panoramic telescope here?"
"If you mean the usual "If you want to use a panoramic telescope for watching Quidditch games"
Mr. Bans jogged to a shelf near the inner wall, jumped up and fished out a dusty pair of binoculars from a pile of debris. Using the telescope, while the guest's eyes were blocked, he hurriedly wiped the dust on his robe, and returned to Amosta with a smile like a flower.
"This is from the family's alchemy workshop, with high quality. I can guarantee that one will only cost nine galleons and seven siekos."
Amosta took it. He was very familiar with and skilled in this panoramic telescope, which can be used for multiple purposes with slight modifications. After adjusting the knob on the telescope, he placed it on the bridge of his nose close to his eye sockets and carefully observed the picture.
"No, no"
After a while, Amosta put down the telescope, with disappointment in his tone,
"What I need is to follow the shadow." 19The 0 model has a clearer picture and can be traced back for a longer time. Your model is a 185 model, which does not meet my purchasing needs. ”
Mr. Bans felt awe-struck, knowing that he had met an expert.
“Unfortunately, sir, the high-precision Shadow Shadow 190 is generally only produced during the World Cup. On weekdays, we Just sell this, if you are willing to buy it, I can give you a discount on the price."
"How much discount can I give?"
Amosta's face looked unsympathetic, as if Not wanting to give in, he turned into a shrewd buyer and started bargaining.
“I didn’t say anything, nine galleons, this is the cost price. Since you are the first customer today, I only want it. "This price"
Mr. Bans looked distressed.
"What if I want a lot"
"I'm sorry, sir, this is already the most expensive price." It’s a great discount, no matter how much you ask for, I can only”
“I need three hundred panoramic telescopes. "Amosta smiled and said directly, "Mr. Bans, you have one more chance to make a quotation. If you are not satisfied with your price, I can go to Diagon Alley to have a look. "
"Three hundred"
Mr. Bans immediately widened his eyes and exclaimed. However, he immediately realized that his performance was very detrimental to the subsequent negotiations. He immediately calmed down his expression and coughed twice,
"Yes, cough, I mean, the quantity is indeed quite large, and it deserves more discounts."
Mr. Bans looked at it carefully and smiled. Amosta,
"Dear Sir, if you really want to buy that much, I think eight Galleons plus ten Silver Sickles would be a good idea"
Amosta frowned, seeming dissatisfied.
The shrewd Mr. Bans immediately stopped what he was saying and said decisively,
"Seven Galleons and ten Silver Sickles. "You are a knowledgeable wizard and you should know what this price means."
Amos is indeed knowledgeable, so he turned around and left without saying a word, opened the door and left without a trace of hesitation.
Two
Ding Ding
Before Amostamer could count to one, a rapid ringing of brass bells suddenly sounded behind him, and Mr. Bans chased him out angrily. ,
"How about seven galleons, sir, that's fair enough."
Amosta didn't look back, he took out his wand and prepared to apparate. Get ready.
"Damn"
Mr. Bans yelled,
"Okay, okay, six, just six, come back sir. , you are the shrewdest guest I have met this year."
Amosta put down his wand, turned around and smiled happily again,
"Okay, Mr. Bans, let me Let’s talk about the delivery time in detail.” Please remember to bookmark the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
