The Admiral of Hogwarts
#127 - Meet at Diagon Alley
"I'm sorry, I have to trouble you again today." After pulling Hugo into the car on a weekend morning, Hermione said to Hood, who was sitting in the driver's seat, with some helplessness. "Our parents' factory in China has run into some problems, so they have to rush over there to deal with it now."
Unlike the original story, the Granger couple's business is now booming. So their family's financial situation is naturally much better than it was in the novel.
But correspondingly, the Granger couple is also much busier than in the past, so they can't guarantee that they can accompany Hugo and his sister at any time.
For example, today's situation is like this. The Granger couple had originally agreed to accompany Hugo and them to purchase various school supplies, but after receiving a call from the factory last night, they had to buy plane tickets overnight, and then called Hood to ask them to help take care of the siblings for a few days before leaving early this morning.
As for why they are willing to trust Hood and them, the reason is also very simple, because when Hugo and them were in school last year, the Granger couple roughly understood the Hood family's overt identity, at least someone like her, a rising star in the business world, plus having a bestselling novelist sister, is very reliable from a certain perspective.
"It's nothing, anyway, Veneto and Firefly are also going to buy things together. And this car has been slightly modified by me with magic, even if everyone buys more, it can be loaded back this time."
Hood said quite easily. "And you can stay at our house these few days, at least it's better than staying at home."
"Then thank you, Miss Hood." Hugo and Hermione thanked her at the same time. After everyone arrived, they chatted and went straight to the street where Diagon Alley was located.
When they arrived at Diagon Alley, the first thing Hugo had to do was to go to Gringotts Bank to exchange currency. And when they came out of Gringotts after exchanging the currency, they happened to see Mrs. and Mr. Weasley leading their large family, plus Harry, walking over from the direction of the Leaky Cauldron.
After the two groups met, the Weasley couple entrusted the children to Hood, and then went into Gringotts to withdraw money. Without the suppression of the Weasley couple, especially Mrs. Weasley, the children immediately chatted together, expressing the excitement of reuniting after not seeing each other for a holiday.
"Hey, Fred, George, how was your summer vacation?" Seeing his sister chatting with Veneto and the other girls, Hugo directly greeted the two people he had the best relationship with. "Also, those new products you mentioned—"
"Don't talk about it here." Before Hugo could finish speaking, Fred made a quiet gesture, then took him to the side with his brother, and then looked at Percy, who was about to leave to go shopping on the street, and said. "It's best not to let Percy know about these things, otherwise he will definitely report to mom and dad."
"Okay, okay, can I ask now?" After confirming that Percy had walked away, Hugo whispered to the Weasley twins. "Especially after you asked me to specifically purchase a bunch of supplies in Hawaii, I think I should be able to understand what you have been researching recently."
"You actually bought all those things!" Hearing Hugo say this, George's face showed a shocked expression. "Actually, we only hoped that you could buy some common raw materials that are originally produced in Hawaii, and we actually planned to find someone to buy those rare things on the list in Knockturn Alley."
"Actually, I also felt that I couldn't afford it at first, but later we met a very good friend of Big Sister Hood, and then everyone got along relatively well. So later, I asked her to help buy the things on these lists." Hugo said, taking out a pocket from his waist that had been cast with an Undetectable Extension Charm and handing it over.
After taking the pocket, the Weasley twins immediately inspected the things inside and made corresponding evaluations. Their evaluations sounded similar to the instructions that Enterprise had given Hugo when giving him these things before. It seems that they had also done a lot of homework in this area before.
"Actually, what surprised me the most is that you were able to get this thing." After a simple inspection, the two took out a silver box from the bottom of the bag, and then opened the box to take out a silver-wrapped test tube the size of an adult male's index finger from inside, "Especially the quality is so good."
Through the glass on the bottle, you can see that this test tube in Fred's hand contains some sky-blue liquid. These liquids are translucent and look like liquid sapphires.
And even more magical is that there are wisps of white mist lingering around this test tube, looking like small clouds.
"This was bought by Miss Hood's friend, and the price is half more expensive than the market price of cloud whale blood." Hugo said, looking at the twins. "Because you told me before to buy things of the best quality as much as possible, if you don't want to, I think I might—"
"Willing, how can we not be willing?" Fred carefully put the test tube back into the silver box and said, "Seriously, this level of cloud whale blood can easily sell for more than double or even triple the price in the UK—by the way, can that friend you know sell some more of these goods in the future?"
"It is estimated that it will be very difficult to obtain similar things in the future, because Miss Halsey recently resigned from her job in the United States and came to the United Kingdom. If there are no accidents, she will settle in the United Kingdom in the future, then the procurement of American goods may not be as convenient as it was in the United States."
"Oh, so that's how it is, that's really a pity." Fred shrugged after taking the bag from Hugo's hand, and then casually asked. "By the way, what did this Miss Halsey do before? She was able to buy such rare top-quality cloud whale blood."
"She used to be an Auror in the American Ministry of Magic." Hugo said, taking a money bag from George's hand. "It's just that her Auror career was a bit too stressful before, so she decided to resign this year and immigrate to the UK, preparing to find a more relaxed job to rest for a while."
"Former Auror—no wonder she has the channels to obtain these things." George nodded.
When he and Fred checked these things just now, they found that most of these things were top-notch goods of their kind, and now it seems that only people like former Aurors have those channels.
"It would be great if we could meet her." Fred said with some regret. "Even if she comes to the UK, those channels should not be abandoned."
"I think you should have a chance to meet her." Hugo thought for a moment and said.
Although Enterprise hid her whereabouts mysteriously after coming to the UK a few days ago, saying that she wanted to give him a surprise, so he didn't know Enterprise's future plans, but he was sure that Enterprise would stay in the UK for a long time in the next period of time.
It's just that none of the three people present had imagined that they would meet Enterprise in an unexpected place soon after.
