Chapter 69 Gilderoy Lockhart
"What about the last one?"
Jimmy harbored the last glimmer of hope.
"No coloring added."
Penello shattered it mercilessly.
It was almost noon.
Many wizards had already entered the store, some lived in Hogsmeade and nearby, some had read magazines and came from all over the UK, and some were called by wizards who had finished shopping earlier.
Every wizard who has shopped and registered as a member will be handed a small card by the house elf before leaving - he can give this card to a friend, and if that friend comes shopping, he can enjoy a certain discount with the card , and the wizard himself gets points.
The points can be exchanged for benefits in the store.
There have always been wizards coming in and out, but the queue at the door of Nymph's secret shop seems to have not decreased, and this has attracted many boring and curious wizards to join the ranks.
They also want to know what is being sold in the store.
After learning about this situation, many people traveled thousands of miles to come here through Apparition and Floo Network, because their friends or relatives notified them through various methods after they came——if they are idle, they might as well come here Take a look.
After all, it's just a spell, or a handful of floo powder.
William even saw the silhouettes of Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout. They walked into the store together with another very beautiful middle-aged witch.
But the townspeople have mixed feelings.
There is an idiot American who bought the haunted Shrieking Shack and wants to open a potion shop here - he also did it mysteriously, blocking the whole house with a black cloth.
This story was very popular some time ago and has always been a landmark of Hogsmeade and a classic joke in the Three Broomsticks bar.
Everyone loves a joke.
But they don't like when jokes come true!
"But...wouldn't they feel cheated if they found out later that these were actually ordinary people's cosmetics?"
Penello popped her question.
In fact, a similar question has been raised this morning by witches of ordinary people - but William has actually expected this situation, and Jean Griphook explained that these products are potions made with reference to ordinary people's cosmetics .
"All our products are potions, aren't they?"
William wasn't worried.
So many love potions that he and Penello made by staying up all night were all used in the first batch of products, and there was nothing left.Not only that, but he also specially made ingredients that are used to change the aroma, beautify the appearance, or even have no effect, just to confuse those dog noses.
"They will try to decipher my specific formula, but that is almost impossible—but maybe after a while, they will decipher the core ingredients and find ordinary people who want to make something similar."
William said calmly.
In doing so, he not only dug up the roots of Mrs. Primpney, but also showed a new thing to the entire British wizarding world.
Surely someone will come out to pay their respects soon.
But William believes that when the time comes, the wizard will find that they can't play with the set of things he has fiddled with - just like the math test back then, even if the correct answer was put in front of them, they still couldn't do it. I don't know how this is calculated.
The enthusiasm for Nymph's secret reached its peak in the afternoon, because a person came to the scene.
Gilderoy Lockhart!
He was wearing a very flamboyant blue forget-me-not robe that William didn't even know which shameless robe shop he had found, and he came out of the fireplace-the sharp-eyed witch saw her and screamed, that The sound almost made William think that some murder happened on the first floor.
"Mr. Lockhart! Can I have an autograph? Just use this lipstick I just bought, anywhere!"
A lucky witch stood in front of him.
Gilderoy raised his eyebrows slightly. He picked up a brochure of Nymphs and quickly wrote on it "Elegance is a choice for witches", "To my dear?" He asked.
"Kate, Kathy Kate!"
The witch was choking with excitement.
Lockhart spent the entire afternoon in the store, signing booklets for his fans, standing up from time to time to take pictures with them - until the last bit of stock in the store was sold out, and he He came to the rest area on the second floor again, bragging about his adventures tirelessly.
"I didn't drive away the female ghost of Wanlun with a smile, beautiful lady, although being elegant does help my life a lot!"
His appearance, even William himself did not expect.
When inviting him to write the slogan of Nymph, he did send an invitation letter for opening, and also presented Lockhart with a complete set of products, and invited him to become Nymph's brand ambassador.
But the problem is
There was no mention of treatment at all in the invitation.
It’s a bit like saying to someone, “Come to your house for dinner another day”, and then one day that person suddenly came to your door and said, “I’m coming to your house for dinner”, and also cleaned your house up and down, exhausted and out of breath. of.
But according to Lockhart's performance in the original book, William couldn't tell whether he was being courteous because of a conspiracy, or really stupid.
Lockhart is the endorser of the shampoo brand!
When William did research before, he found that although wizards have almost no research on beauty makeup and skin care (if you don’t count the dilapidated store in Diagon Alley), they have a good level of daily chemical products .
The shampoo produced by the Potter family back then is still a well-known brand in the market.
Not only this aspect, almost the entire wizarding world is like this, they will be like ostriches, occasionally pull their heads out of the sand, and "steal" some new tricks from the world of ordinary people, such as radio, shampoo, cars and so on Yes, but they never get to the bottom of it.
"Mr. Buffalo, what should we do?"
asked Lalo the house-elf.
For the opening, they spent a lot of time training speaking skills and practicing the process over and over again, but in the plan William wrote to them, this never happened.
"We...do nothing."
William considered the decision, "After the end, you give him a set of products, and then prepare a separate bag for him. Don't prepare a bag, just put 40 Gold Galleons directly in the product bag."
40 Galleons, speaking of it, was actually not a lot for Lockhart. A new hardcover book of his might cost several Galleons a copy, but it was actually quite a lot.
The position of the store manager of the Lihen Bookstore in Diagon Alley has always been considered a very dangerous job-because not only do you have to deal with many difficult magic books, but sometimes you may be caught by some strange manuscripts, notes, and private books. Humans would bite off their fingers, or be cursed.
It's very difficult for anyone to continue in this position, but even so, he still only has a weekly salary of 40 Galleons.
William also asked Lalo to speak some words - in Nymph's operation, he was not going to show up in person.
At least temporarily.
"Yes, Mr. Buffalo."
Lalo disappeared in front of William, and reappeared at the stairs on the second floor after a while. He carried a somewhat heavy package in both hands and walked towards Lockhart.
Thanks to cacas for the monthly pass.
Thank you Magic King for the monthly pass.
Thanks for the monthly pass to the tears of the god Horus.
Thanks to the exiled immortal Li Taibai for the monthly pass.
