Vol 2 Chapter 241: Shop planning and design

Under the joint persuasion, Sirius finally agreed to replace a wand.
He sighed and walked into the wand shop behind Mr. Ollivander, screaming at the messy hair, like a little wizard who had just grown up.
"He used to be like this. It looks very stubborn, but as long as it is a reasonable suggestion, it will be adopted most."
Looking at the back of Sirius, Lupin told Ai Wen, Harry, and Hermione about the anecdotes of the Sirius student era, making everyone laugh.
In the laughter, they came to No. 36, Diagonal Lane, a shop belonging to the Black family.
This is a three-storey street shop located on the corner of the other side of the street, just across the street from the Ollivander Wand Shop, next to a potion shop, passing through a dark little spot on the north side. Lane, is the Owl Owl Store.
Harry’s pet Hedwig was given to him after Hagrid bought it.
In addition to the pet shop, even this potion shop is very famous on the Diagonal Lane, because the price is cheap, Ai Wen mailed a lot of potion materials in their home.
The wall outside the potion shop is a brown-black brick with only a small window. There is a row of barrels of sticky material on the ground, near the wall, a variety of cans of powder, herbs, bundles of feathers, fangs and claws hanging from the ceiling.
The goods inside looked fascinating, but because of the potion material, the store exudes an unpleasant smell, like the mixed smell of rotten eggs and rotten vegetables.
Even worse than this is the 36th diagonal lane next to it.
The old bricks are not missing, and they look extremely desolate and worn. The two semi-circular windows were covered with thick dust, and the inside was not visible from the outside. The window between the windows is a scarred black wooden door with insect eyes and traces of sharp objects, which radiate a rotten taste.
Evan wiped the dust off the window and picked up his foot and looked inside.
Through a piece of smashed scorpion scorpion, he saw the wreckage of furniture scattered everywhere and the everywhere. In the gap at the top corner of the window, there was a brown spider like a tea tray. The whole building was covered. The house looks like a haunted house.
"In my impression, this shop has been idle for more than ten years and has never been used." Lu Ping explained, "Many people have guessed if there is any problem here, so they have been idle, but they did not expect it to be Black. Family property!"
He pulled out his wand and knocked on the wooden door of the shop, slamming, and the door opened.
At the moment of opening the door, a lot of dust splashed.
Everyone hurriedly grabbed his nose and stepped back several times.
Seeing the unexpected intruder, in the store, a frightened mouse hurried through the house and made a scream.
They walked in and left a clear footprint on the sly floor.
The decoration of this shop continues the luxury style of the Black family, and the dilapidated furniture is made of precious mahogany and teak.
Perhaps because of this, this is also the object of thieves' concentration.
Everything that is of little value in the store disappears or is destroyed, and the ruins of various gorgeous decorations and furniture are scattered.
The back few windows were also shattered, blowing in the cold wind, no accident, the thieves climbed in from there.
From the outside, this shop is bad enough; feel it up close inside, and you can feel the difference to the extreme.
If you want to use it and open it, you have to buy something new.
"I want to clean it up, it takes a lot of work!" Hermione wrinkled her nose and took out her wand and said softly to a carpet. "Clean up!"
Pink soap bubbles appeared on the carpet immediately, but it was useless. There was too much dust, and the bright soap bubbles turned into black viscous instantly.
Hermione was not willing to wave her wand and read the spell several times.
"Don't waste effort, Hermione, throw the carpet away." Ai Wen said with his forehead, "Furniture and office supplies can buy new ones, but you just said that this place really needs a cleaning. This workload is not small!"
"This house has been empty for many years. It breeds a lot of things. You must be careful when you clean it." Lupin squatted in front of a cupboard and said through the keyhole. "It seems to be a blog." Gert, it is best to let him out before cleaning the cabinet."

It’s crazy to clean up a house that has been abandoned for more than a decade. I don’t want to spend the rest of my Christmas holiday here.
Harry walked upstairs and gasped.
This store is more than It looks a lot more spacious outside, the space above is very large, and there is more garbage than here."
"Don't worry, Harry! I guess three days should be enough. We can find Dobby and Kreacher to help. The house elf is very good at doing this kind of thing." Ai Wen also went upstairs and looked around, nodding nodly. "When I go to visit Ron, I can also ask the Weasley family to help with the cleaning. I have an idea. The second floor and the third floor are enough for the newspaper headquarters space. The first floor can be used for other things. , for example, selling Fred and George's joke products."

The two of them will be happy. From the last semester, they started the owl mail order service in the school!
said Harry.
The products they developed are very interesting and very popular.

"It's also very dangerous, and disgusting!" Hermione didn't take it for granted. "Look at what they did last semester, actually making a large dung egg that can be remotely controlled, making the entire corridor full of stench, and those big dung are hard. Was cleaned."
"That's what Filch needs to worry about, except for Slytherin's underground, they haven't used that kind of thing elsewhere in the school," Avon said guiltyly.
He did not dare to tell Hermione that the birth of the remote control dung egg was actually his suggestion. The theory used, how to make the big dung egg activate to listen to the user's command, is that he was inspired by Hermione's submission to the newspaper about a metamorphosis research article.

There is a lot of space here, and there are a lot of counters. In addition to Fred and George’s joke products, you can also sell other small wizards.
Seeing Hermione still wants to continue on the joke product. Ai Wen hurriedly said, "For example, the potion made by our potion class, except for taking out a little for Snape to score, all the rest are dumped, it is too wasteful, can be put here. Selling, the price is much lower than the normal market price."
"This idea is good, provided that Snape can agree to do this," Harry interjected.
"He will agree. The potions were originally made by the students themselves. He didn't have a reason to refuse." Ai Wen went down and observed the first floor of the store, contemplating future planning and design. "In addition to the potion, Anything that the little wizards make themselves can be sold here, and more is good. This can be promoted by the Hogwarts Ministry of Magic, which should attract a lot of attention." (To be continued.)
