Chapter 436: Gold rush and owl turn...

Friday, October 20th, 1995.
It's been two weeks since Harry and Penello met last time.
Diagon Alley.
The wind today is a bit noisy.
A thin wizard in his thirties, wearing a blue magic robe that seemed to have been worn for a long time, with a shaggy beard but bright eyes appeared at the door of a certain shop in Diagon Alley.
He erected the edge of his robe to block the cold wind.
He hesitantly looked at the empty shop inside, wondering if he should go in.
This shop is located two shops away from the most popular Wizard Supermarket in Diagon Alley.
It stands to reason that it should be a treasure of geomantic omen.
Because it is said that all the shops near the Wizard Supermarket have doubled their turnover and turnover, and the shopkeepers can wake up in dreams.
As a result, the rents of surrounding shops have risen by a dozen times.
But this newly opened shop was deserted and deserted.
Isn't this a loss? That high rent was spent for nothing.
And this shop has a very strange name that makes wizards confused: "Gold Rush."
In fact, this gold rush shop opened on Tuesday.
At that time, Mandijiao Alley was full of advertising leaflets. Even the second page of the "Prophet Daily" bought a whole page for advertising. I heard that wizard newspapers in other countries also published news about the opening of gold rush shops.
But on the second day, they all disappeared suddenly.
Diagon Alley never found a small piece of paper that was seen everywhere yesterday.
And because the services they advertised and sold were too uncomfortable, it was the fourth day, and no wizard was willing to walk in.
The 30-year-old man at the door, thinking of the owl whose wings had been broken yesterday, was still being treated in the pet hospital, he decided to walk in.
"Welcome, sir." The only witch in the room seemed relieved to see someone coming in.
"It should be wrong," the wizard thought.
"Excuse me, do you want to use the postal service for gold rushing?" the young and beautiful witch asked.
"Yes... right." The wizard hadn't actually made up his mind whether to post it, but seeing the sorrowful pleading look of the witch, he really couldn't bear to turn around and go out. It was like stabbing someone else.
"Sir, what are you going to mail? You know, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, we can't help you with Class C prohibited items and above."
"Don't worry, it's something very safe."
The wizard took out a package, and first took out a fiery red crystal ball: "This is a warm fire ball, you know, when it's cold, put it on the bed. It will be very warm for a few meters around it."
"These are cotton wool sweaters knitted by the mother of two children."
"Also, this is the most important thing..." The wizard grasped firmly and looked at the witch uneasy: "This is a brand new wand, worth twelve gallons."
With a big smile on his face, the witch almost broke the witch's hand in a grabbing manner and took the wand back. He looks like he won't stop if he doesn't promote this business.
"Sir, please rest assured. If the goods are lost or damaged, we will compensate you in full." The witch smiled.
Hearing these words, the wizard felt even more worried.
He usually buys something in other stores, but when he returns home, he finds that there is a defect. It is very difficult to ask the store to return or exchange the goods.
But this gold rush shop has vowed to make full compensation for the problem. Is there such a good thing?
This is not to tell you: Are we liars? The wizard really wanted to turn his head and leave.
But... young and beautiful girl, who doesn't like it.
No lsp will ignore the humble plea in the eyes of the beautiful clerk who can talk at this time.
Finally he plucked up the courage and said: "Okay, then mail it for me."
The wizard's heart was dripping with blood. He had already prepared the scene where the money was cheated away or the transportation was damaged but refused to compensate, and then he went home and was punished by the child to kneel durian.
But when that happens, he must report to the Auror.
"Okay, sir, your name and contact information?" the witch asked with a blank small card.
The wizard said: "My name is Geo Zhenzhong, I live in East Sussex, Geo Farm, and the phone number is 211561269."
The witch waved her magic wand, and these words appeared on the card.
"So, who are you mailing to? At present, this service is limited to Hogwarts and the store, you should know."
The wizard named Giio Zhenzhong proudly said: "My daughter, she is a second-year student at Gryffindor College at Hogwarts, and her name is Isyth."
"Okay, I see." The witch waved her magic wand again, and the receiver's message appeared on the card.
"Sir, Chenghui has one silver and five copper nats."
Geio Zhenzhong paid the money.
"How long will it take to arrive?" Geio Zhenzhong asked uneasy.
"It depends on how long it takes your daughter to know that you have mailed something to her. The fastest... is right away."
The witch used a sticky spell to stick the card on the parcel, then placed the parcel on a blue-gray stone, and said a spell.
A golden light flashed, and then the package disappeared.
The witch smiled and said, "I have arrived at Hogwarts."
Jiio Zhenzhong gave me the look you were teasing.
How could he jump in stupidly because he regrets in the center of such an obvious scam.
The witch saw Geio Zhenzhong’s distrust, and she said, "You can wait for your daughter's reply to you, and you will know it then."
With an expression of suspicion and heartache, Geio Zhenzhong was about to leave the shop.
The witch stopped him suddenly.
"please wait for a moment."
The witch bent down, scrabbled at the counter below, and then took out a golden card.
She was embarrassed: "Sorry, I forgot about it."
Then it quickly turned into a sweet smile from the heart, and held the card in front of Geio Zhenzhong: "Dangdangdang! Sir, you won the jackpot!"
The black question mark on Geio Zhenzhong's face.
"Should I pay the IQ tax first and then receive the grand prize?"
The witch's face became stiff, and she forced a smile: "Of course not."
"This is the Gold Rush Gold Lifetime Honor Award. You will become a lifetime diamond member of the Gold Rush Gold."
"In the future, no matter when and where, as long as there is a place for us to pan for gold, you can use all the services of gold panning for free."
"Congratulations, Mr. Geio Zhenzhong."
Seeing that Geio Zhenzhong was still dazed and dazed, the witch smiled and explained: "This is ordered by the boss. This is a special reward for the first wizard who has the courage to believe in gold mining. It is unique in the world. Copies."
Geio Zhenzhong took the metal card with the words "Gold Rush Gold Lifetime Honor Award".
His face changed suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "This is pure gold!"
The witch smiled slightly, thinking that Boss Penello was really willing.
This flawless piece of gold alone is worth five hundred gallons.
But she is very confident about the future development of gold rush, she believes that compared with the meaning of the card, five hundred gallons is just a drop in the bucket.
After the store opened, no one patronized it.
She originally wanted to suggest that Penello ask them to use the postal service of gold rush.
But Penello looked particularly angry for some reason, and stubbornly put on a sentence: "Follow the situation, close the door if you can't open it."
...
Jiyo Zhenzhong checked the card in his hand over and over again, and couldn't believe it was true.
This card is dozens of times more valuable than his package.
What is your luck? It is still said that someone is deliberately making fun of themselves.
Until he got home, he was still puzzled.
...
noon.
Hogwarts.
At the end of last week, everyone discovered that Hagrid was going to build a small house and several huge wooden shelves on the road between his cottage and Hogwarts Castle.
There was a lot of discussion about what Hagrid wanted to do.
In the end, the general consensus was that Hagrid was preparing a house for his children.
But later four shelves were placed at the door, and wooden signs with the names of the four colleges were hung on them.
This makes the students confused.
Someone noticed that the shelves are all seven floors.
"Does each of these levels correspond to a grade?" someone guessed randomly.
"It's just a coincidence, you think so much." Someone retorted.
Three days ago.
Hagrid made another plaque and stood at the door of this small house.
It says in blue font: "The owl turns to the post."
Everyone is even more confused about what it means.
"What an amazing name is this!"
"The doesn't make sense, the words are meaningless and inexplicable."
"Which one do you think?"
"It must be Professor Hagrid."
A few more days passed, and the small wooden house named Yizhan remained empty.
The shelves are also empty.
Some students stretched their heads and looked into the room, only to see a cylindrical stone placed in the middle of the room.
"Could it be that Professor Hagrid wanted to do business, but failed?" Everyone guessed.
...
Nowadays.
The fourth-year students of Hufflepuff College walked out of Professor Sprout's greenhouse.
When they passed by the owls and turned around the inn, someone suddenly was surprised as if they found the New World, and pointed to the huge shelf: "Look! There is something on it!"
A bunch of wizards gathered around, quietly placing a package on the penultimate wooden board on the Gryffindor shelf.
"There seems to be a name on it."
"Gryffindor, sophomore, Isyth."
"Who is Isyth? Who knows her?"
"Go find her quickly."
In this way, a group of wizards rushed to the auditorium surrounded by parcels.
For the twelve-year-old girl Isyth, today's shock will take a long time for her to forget.
She had just arrived in the auditorium to have lunch when dozens of senior wizards suddenly rushed in from the door.
There are men and women.
They stared at the little wizards of Gryffindor College "violently" and kept asking: "Ises! Where is Ises!"
Ises' face turned pale.
...
At night.
Giio Zhenzhong, who lives in East Sussex, is still showing off to his wife that he has made a fortune today.
His wife twisted Geio Zhenzhong’s ears and roared: "I don’t care which sewer you picked up a gold card from. I just want to ask you, I let you give things to your girl, where do you send things? Don’t you know that the girl’s wand is broken and you need a new one! Didn’t I ask you to go to the Owl Post Office to find an owl to send it? How do you enter a gold rush shop that no one has ever used? Did you kick it? I sent the stuff to Hogwarts in the blink of an eye. You believe this kind of nonsense. If you can be so powerful, what do you need an owl to do! Do you think that the little girl is pretty and you can't walk!"
Cold sweat dripped from Jiio Zhenzhong's forehead: "How could it be..."
Just then ~EbookFREE.me~ a little owl flew into the house.
Jiio Zhen's eyes lit up, and he interrupted quickly: "It's Isyth's owl."
He took a letter from the owl's leg, opened it to read the content, and couldn't help smiling: "Ises said that she has received the wand we gave her, and it is as suitable as before."
Then proudly handed the letter to his wife and said, "I also said that it was delivered in time, because she had Professor Snape's class in the afternoon. If the wand hadn't arrived in time, she would have to be fined and confined."
His wife read the letter suspiciously, and when she realized that her husband was doing it right, she hummed twice and said, "Forget it this time, you can do what I say in the future."
Jiio Zhenzhong quickly laughed and said, "Everything is up to you."
But he had already thought in his heart that he would have to find a few old guys tomorrow and show them his adventures in that gold rush shop.
