Ivan hastily pulled out his wand and looked around vigilantly.
There were chairs and boxes around him, and not far away was a wooden staircase leading upstairs, and he could hear the voices of various people above, ringing bells and opening and closing doors.
In the cellar, the sweet smell of candy and the pungent smell of blood mixed together, making Ivan feel sick. He cautiously approached a wooden box next to him.
The closer you get, the stronger the smell!
Aiwen was about to open the wooden box when he heard a sound of going downstairs and a woman's shouting.
"Honey, get another bucket of jelly slugs, they're almost buying us out of stock!"
"Got it." A figure came downstairs.
Ai Wen turned around in a hurry, and he saw a middle-aged man with a bald head coming down.
It was Mr. Ambrosio Froome, the owner of the Honeydukes Candy Shop. He walked into the cellar, and suddenly froze in place, looking at Ivan standing in front of him in surprise.
"Hello, Mr. Froome." Ivan said softly.
"It turned out to be you, Ivan. I was shocked. I thought someone ran into our warehouse." Froome breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "What are you doing with your wand?"
"I smell a bloody smell..." Ivan did not put down the wand in his hand.
"Oh, you've already smelled it!" Froome said hastily, "I just wanted to tell you about this. I wanted to ask you to advertise our newly developed candy in the newspaper."
"Uh, advertising?!" Ivan looked at the other party in surprise.
Froome came over and opened the bloody wooden box next to Ivan, which was filled with lollipops.
Aiwen was a little embarrassed. The bloody smell he smelled turned out to be the smell of this kind of candy. He hurriedly put away his wand. Fortunately, no acquaintances were here.
"The bloody lollipop, a new product in our store, doesn't seem to be highly recognized by everyone." Froome said with a frown, "Sometimes I really don't understand the taste of you little wizards, this is obviously a questionnaire The most anticipated candy on the Internet."
"Are you sure this isn't for vampires?"
"Of course not, I thought this kind of candy would be cool!" Froome continued, "But in fact, almost no one bought it. The inventory of these bloody lollipops has almost backlogged the entire warehouse. You need to help me, Aiwen, the publicity about the cockroach pile last time was very effective."
Ai Wen remembered the first advertisement he wrote for Honeydukes last semester, which advertised the cockroach pile of candy. He didn't take a bite of that thing, but until now, there are still rumors in the school that he likes to eat that thing.
"I'll help you spread the word, Mr. Froome!"
Aiwen didn't understand that Honeydukes' traditional candy was very popular, but they have been persistently researching these inexplicable new products.
In short, Froome looked very happy when he heard Ivan's words. He packed a lot of bloody lollipops and gave them to Ivan.
When Ivan climbed out of the cellar with these almost impossible candies, he saw that the Honeydukes store was crowded with Hogwarts students.
There were so many people around, he didn't see where Hermione was.
Ivan walked among them, trying to find Hermione in one shelf after another. The next second, at the corner of a shelf full of chocolates, he accidentally bumped into a girl and knocked the candy she was holding to the ground.
"Sorry!" Aiwen lowered his head and picked up the scattered candies. He raised his head casually and saw a beautiful girl standing opposite him.
The girl has long black hair and is wearing the wizard robes of Ravenclaw College, with a smile on her face, giving people a kind and comfortable feeling.
"I was too focused when I picked out the chocolates just now, are you okay?" The girl looked at Ivan with a smile, "Hello, I'm Qiu Zhang, from Ravenclaw College."
Aiwen suddenly realized that this girl was Qiu Zhang, she was indeed very beautiful, no wonder Harry's unresponsive guy would be tempted.
"Oh hello, I'm Evan Mason from..."
"I know you!" Qiu blushed suddenly, and she hurriedly explained, "I heard from Luna that we have subscriptions for every issue of the newspaper you run, and I think the articles on it are useful for everyone. Very helpful, and... anyway, the girls in Ravenclaw are pretty much talking about you right now."
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Ai Wen didn't know that he was so popular with girls.
"I've heard of you too, you're Ravenclaw's Seeker!" Aiwen had nothing to say, except for this information, he only remembered that Qiu Zhang was Cedric Diggory's girlfriend, After the guy died, she had another fruitless affair with Harry.
Although the other party has rich emotional experience, but one has to admit that Qiu Zhang is indeed very beautiful.
"You also like Quidditch?!" Qiu seemed very happy to have found a common topic with Ivan, "I watched the game between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, and your academy is very strong, especially the Seekers haha Lippert, he's very fast."
"But we still lost to Hufflepuff." Ivan continued, "I heard that you beat them in the game a few days ago!"
"It's just a fluke, their Seeker Cedric is also very good." Qiu paused, "But the other Hufflepuff players are not as good as Gryffindor, if you didn't encounter Dementor Strange... ... "
"Yeah!" Ivan nodded, not knowing what he was talking about.
It was a rare opportunity to get in touch with such a beautiful girl, but he was talking about Quidditch endlessly here, and the most important thing was that he had no interest in this thing at all.
"Facing so many dementors at that time, I was almost hopeless! Thanks to your patron saint, you brought hope to everyone!"
The image of this thin boy fighting more than a hundred dementors alone appeared in Qiu Zhang's mind. She will never forget that feeling in her life.
"Aiwen, are you alone?!" Qiu hesitated for a while, and then said with a flushed face, "We can sit in that teahouse outside for a while, I want to ask you how to use the Patronus Charm. Is there some trick, no matter how hard I try, it just makes the wand glow a little bit."
There is indeed a trick to casting the Patronus Charm, and Ivan is also willing to have an in-depth exchange with the other party.
Especially when Qiu Zhang took the initiative to send out the invitation, no matter how stupid he was, he understood what was going on.
However, he saw that Hermione had just walked into Honeydukes and was looking at him with a smile. After she saw Qiu Zhang opposite him, her expression quickly became vigilant.
It's really hard to choose between two beautiful girls.
From the bottom of his heart, Aiwen still likes Hermione more. As for Qiu, he just surprises her with her looks.
No other ideas at all, that's all!
Alvin took another look at the girl in front of him, is this really the case
