Chapter 133 Professor Snape, are you taking your children shopping?
“Ha, cleansing spell.”
Fred looked at his brand new robe, sighed quietly and said: "Mom uses this spell almost three times every day, why can't Ron remember it?"
“Who knows.” Kyle shrugged.
His previous plan was originally a temporary idea, and it could almost be said that it was full of loopholes.
The biggest problem is the cleaning curse, which is also the main reason why Fred and George thought Ron would not be fooled.
In wizarding families, this spell is one of the most commonly used household magics, and they think it is impossible for Ron not to know about it.
Kyle thought the same thing.
In fact, when he saw Ron's cautious look in the Leaky Cauldron, he had already begun to think about whether to let Ron go.
But it’s all coming...it’s not good to do nothing.
So he came up with this idea and reduced the difficulty to the minimum for Ron.
Otherwise, he could just ask Ron directly. With Ron's desire for a new wand, I believe he would not refuse.
Kyle's idea is simple, as long as Ron says, "Why don't you use a cleaning spell?" Then he would give up all his plans and just pay for the wand.
But... Ron didn't.
Not only did he not, he even believed it!
It’s outrageous.
“Ollivander seems to have come out…”
Fred raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go in quickly. I can't wait to watch the show."
“Hey, can you say that?” Kyle teased: “Ron is your brother.”
“Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I almost forgot.”
Fred smiled slyly, then opened the store door and walked in.
Just when Kyle was about to follow, he suddenly noticed an acquaintance on the corner not far away.
Wearing a black cloak, which is windless, the greasy hair is shimmering, and the sinister eyes are looking left and right. He looks like a big bat walking in the dark night, which is incompatible with the lively atmosphere around him.
Moreover, there seemed to be a person following behind him, but it was blocked by his robe, and only a pair of short legs could be seen.
“Long time no see, Professor Snape.”
When the other party came over, Kyle was the first to say hello: "What a coincidence, Professor, you are taking your daughter to go shopping... yo, it's Kangna."
When he got closer, Kyle realized that the person following Snape was actually Connor.
The corner of Snape's eye twitched, as if someone had force-fed a big dung egg, and his face instantly darkened.
“Don’t talk nonsense, Kyle.” Connor stuck her head out and said, “Uncle Snape hasn’t…”
“Shut up, Connor!”
Before the little girl could finish speaking, she was forcibly interrupted by Snape.
A strange look flashed in Kyle's eyes, and he noticed that Connor's name for Snape had changed.
But before he could think about it, he heard Snape's slightly mocking voice.
"Why are you here, Ollivander...could it be that the wand is broken?"
"No, Professor, I take good care of my wand."
Kyle's expression remained unchanged and he said: "I came here with Fred and George to help their little brother buy a new wand.
Ron Weasley is also a freshman this year. "
Snape looked a little disappointed.
“In addition, I also want to buy some potion ingredients.” Kyle continued: “I can’t wait to take your potion class.”
Snape made a short sound of unknown meaning, and his face became even more ugly, as if he had been fed a second big dung egg.
But for some reason, he endured it. He just looked at Kyle thoughtfully and said nothing.
“Let’s go, Connor.”
Snape did not look at Kyle again, turned around and continued walking forward.
Kanna obviously wanted to stay a little longer. This summer vacation, too many bizarre things happened around her. The experience in just two months was simply more exciting than what she had experienced in the previous two years.
She wanted to share it with Kyle so much. But Snape didn't think so. He glanced at Kyle with disgust, grabbed Connor's collar without any explanation, and carried her away.
Kanna kept gesticulating, but he remained unmoved at all, and even said without concealment: "Don't have contact with Kyle in the future, he is not a good person."
Kyle watched them turn into the nearby Crucible Shop, then turned and walked into Ollivander's Wand Shop.
Originally delayed by Snape, Kyle thought he would miss the most exciting scene, but as soon as he entered the door, he heard Ollivander's somewhat urgent voice.
“The store never gives away wand maintenance kits, they can only be purchased separately.”
“I remember you are from the Weasley family, why don’t you even know the cleaning spell?”
At this time, the dust on Ron's arm that he deliberately rubbed had disappeared. He stood there with a red face, looking for something on the ground with his head lowered.
Kyle thought he was looking for a crack in the ground.
“As for why I don’t clean…”
Ollivander paused and said without changing his expression: "This is for the balance of the gray demon. The dust can isolate the magic and protect the wands in the shop from being affected by external magic.
The things involved are very complicated, and only we, the staff-makers, understand them, even you don’t understand them! "
"So...which hand do you use the wand in?"
Ron stretched out his right hand tremblingly.
Then a measuring tape flew over from the counter and began to mark him roughly.
Beside them, Fred and George both lowered their heads, covering their stomachs with their hands, shaking all over.
If it weren't for Ollivander's presence, they would have laughed like crazy.
After measuring the body data, it was time to try on the wand. For Ron, this process was not smooth.
When he tried the seventh...or maybe the eighth one, the wand was very repulsive to Ron. As soon as he held it in his hand, a rapid stream of water spurted out from the tip of the wand, directly dousing him.
This also caused him to be soaked all over now, and he was shivering when the wind blew.
…
An hour later...the boxes on the counter were almost piled up.
George and Kyle were sitting cross-legged next to each other, playing wizard chess in boredom. Fred was watching the game and expressing his own opinions from time to time.
But neither of them listened to him.
“A great combination.”
At this time, Ollivander's voice suddenly came.
“Fourteen inches, willow, with a unicorn hair core, it suits you perfectly, Mr. Weasley.
So...seven galleons. "
This is...finished picking?
Kyle stood up immediately, which immediately aroused George's dissatisfaction.
“Hey, I’m going to win!”
But Kyle ignored him, instead took out his wallet and grabbed a handful of Galleons from it.
But just when he was about to give the Galleons to Ollivander, Fred suddenly hooked Kyle's shoulder and said with a smile: "Kyle, do you want to buy anything else?"
At this moment, George quickly stepped forward and handed the seven Galleons to Ollivander.
"Next year Ginny will also get a new wand or a new robe from her brother." Fred said with a wink.
Kyle smiled and said: "Don't you feel sorry for Galleon now?"
“I still feel bad.” Fred sighed and said, “Ron is too stupid, and I feel like giving him a new wand is a bit of a waste.”
…
After coming out of Ollivander, several people moved their bodies in unison.
"Kyle, we have to hurry up." Fred said: "Mom must be waiting impatiently. If it's a little later, she might come here to find us."
“What else do you need to buy?” George asked.
“Some parchment,” Kyle said. “And a bottle of Porter Smooth Shampoo.”
