Chapter 475 Furong's New Home
At the same time, Sharf also handed over the recent mail sent to Ella's hut to Sherin. On the second day after the end of the potion tournament, a large number of letters poured in like snowflakes and were thrown into an abandoned mailbox that Sherin had set up near Ella's hut. The envelopes were piled up so high that they could hardly fit in, which showed the sensation caused by this competition.

You ask why an abandoned mailbox was specially set up? That's because the Fidelius Charm was cast on Ella's Cottage, and ordinary owls can't find it at all. Therefore, as early as when Sherin set up Ella's Cottage as a base, he had already transferred the magic location in his name to this abandoned mailbox.

Looking at the pile of letters, Sherin sighed and called four maids, Sharfu, Savannah, Latifa and Katharina, to open and reply to the letters together. Even if five people worked at the same time, it took a whole day to sort out the letters.

The vast majority of letters were from fans from all over the world, who expressed their fanatical admiration for Schelling and their heartfelt congratulations. They drew beautiful portraits on the letters, or enclosed various small gifts, and some even used magic to attach voice spells to the letters, eager to let Schelling hear their excited voices.

Judging from the content, his number of fans is obviously greater than when he won the Triwizard Tournament. If you think about it carefully, this is understandable - after all, there are more than one champions of the Triwizard Tournament in history, but there are only a handful of people who can win both the Triwizard Tournament and the Potions Tournament. The influence of the Potions Tournament far exceeds that of the Triwizard Tournament. Because of its professionalism and academic nature, Schelling's reputation in the entire wizarding world has been further enhanced.

In addition to letters from fans, there were also many congratulatory letters from masters of the potion world, including those he met at a family dinner in Evreux, France. Without exception, they all spoke highly of Sherin's performance in the tournament, and even agreed that the beauty potion he invented had completely changed the wizarding world, and such an achievement was enough to be recorded in history.

In the letter, they praised Xie Ling lavishly, saying that he deserved the title. At the same time, they also attached their own research experience on potions, hoping to help this young junior go further on the road of potions.

Among them, one letter particularly caught Schelling's attention. It was a handwritten letter from Mr. Toots.

Xie Lin still remembered that at the Eifler family dinner, he had had an in-depth exchange with this senior alchemist, and appropriately revealed his interest in the potions needed to cultivate magical plants.

Mr Toots was evidently impressed, and not only did he discuss the subject in detail in his letter, but he also generously included his personal research notes.

Xie Lin opened the notebook and immediately found that it contained a large amount of research data on promoting plant growth, and even recorded in detail the effects of different environments and different potion ratios on plant growth. This information is undoubtedly extremely valuable, especially for the Dragon Soul Team, as it can provide key references for the growth-promoting potion they are researching.

Xie Ling gently closed the notebook, and the corners of his lips slightly raised. The value of this letter far exceeded those simple congratulatory letters.

Once the growth-promoting potion is successfully developed, the Dragon Wing team that Luna is in charge of, which uses magical plants to fight, will be officially formed, greatly enhancing the overall combat capability of the Sleeping Dragon Society.

Three days later, Sherin observed that Katarina had gradually adjusted to her new life in Ella's cabin. At the same time, Fleur's lease at the Leaky Cauldron was about to expire, and Sherin no longer had any reason to stay there.

Before leaving, he went to Hogsmeade to take care of some business, and then he set off back to Diagon Alley to reunite with Fleur.

……

The Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley, London, last room on the third floor.

The faint magic light reflected on Furong's delicate face, which was slightly dissatisfied. Xie Lin leaned against the door, with a smile on his face, and asked softly: "Baby, how is your job search going? Is it going smoothly?"

Upon hearing this, Furong pouted her lips, complaining coquettishly and aggrievedly, "I can't find a job at all! They think I'm too young and a foreigner, and they don't even give me a chance! Not to mention that there are some disgusting uncles who want to take advantage of me..." Her beautiful eyes flashed, revealing a proud smile, "But I taught them a lesson!"

Hearing this, Xie Lin chuckled and shook his head, stretched out his hand to ruffle her long silver hair, and said soothingly: "Come with me."

He checked out of the hotel with Fleur, and then they both Apparated and were in Hogsmeade in the blink of an eye.

When Furong opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in front of an exquisite and elegant single-family house. The white wooden exterior walls, the staggered terraces, the wisteria vines hanging in front of the windows, the light floral scent in the air, full of warmth and romance.

Xie Lin opened the door, took Furong's hand and walked in. The combination of gorgeous and warm decoration made Furong hold her breath.

In the living room, a high dome with a soft crystal chandelier suspended above makes the space look spacious and dreamy. The sofa is made of classic French velvet, with a tone between elegant rose pink and light gold, which contrasts with the elaborately carved reliefs on the wall.

There is a magic mirror placed above the fireplace. It not only shows the beauty of the person in the mirror, but also changes color according to the mood of the occupant, just like a magic ornament that understands its owner best.

The staircase leading to the second-floor bedroom is a smooth spiral staircase, each step is inlaid with glimmering gems, and emits a soft moonlight color at night. The ceiling of the master bedroom is magical, and you can see the bright stars when you look up, as if you are in the endless night sky. The soft feather bed is covered with French imported damask sheets, which feel as smooth as flowing water, and the four corners of the bed are hung with gauze curtains, as if you are in a romantic palace that belongs to her.

There was a fresh bouquet of blue roses on the bedside, exuding a light and elegant fragrance. The whole room was filled with romance and warmth, as if it was tailor-made to perfectly suit Furong's preferences.

Furong's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she was obviously amazed by what she saw. She turned her head and looked at Xie Lin in surprise. She covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief, and tears flashed in her eyes. Xie Lin smiled slightly, put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "Do you like this surprise?"

Furong took a deep breath, her eyes slightly red, and looked at him in reproach: "You guy, always catch me off guard like this..." Her tone was coquettish, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and smile filled her whole face.

Xie Lin chuckled, stroked her soft silver hair with his fingers, and whispered: "From now on, this is our home, our love nest, do you like it?"

Fleur did not answer, but stood on tiptoe and pressed a deeper kiss on his lips. Her action said it all.

Xie Lin smiled and hugged her tightly, his eyes deep: "As long as you like it." It turned out that Xie Lin had been preparing a special surprise for Fleur in the past three days. He quietly bought a house in Hogsmeade Village, which would be Fleur's new residence in the UK and also the warm love nest they would share in the future.

This house is not an ordinary mansion. It once belonged to Sylvanus Kettleburn, the former professor of Care of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts. A few months ago, the professor died in the Forbidden Forest. On the surface, he was attacked by centaurs, but in fact it was a sophisticated plan planned by Sherin. Since Kettleburn had no relatives, the house had been vacant since his death and was eventually put up for sale.

Xie Ling seized this opportunity, bought it at a very low price, and carefully renovated it, making it look brand new, full of warmth and romance, and becoming a precious gift for Furong.

……

Sherin stood outside the door, waved his wand gracefully, cast a permanent sticking spell, and pasted an exquisitely carved pure gold doorplate to the side of the door. On the doorplate was written in beautiful French handwriting - Maison de Rosée.

From today on, this "Flower Dew Cottage" will be used as Furong's new home.

【"Flower Dew House" obtained! 】

Schelling's arrangement was not an impulsive one, but a well-considered decision.

Firstly, he was still a student of Hogwarts, and Hogwarts was a full-time school. In addition, Apparition was not allowed on campus, which meant that Shailene and Fleur would not have much time to meet during the school term.

This was undoubtedly a torment for the two people who were still in the honeymoon period.

But it would be different if Fleur was placed in Hogsmeade. Xie Ling knew the secret passage leading to Hogsmeade. With his invisibility magic, he could go and have a tryst with Fleur every night if he wanted to - of course, he wouldn't do that. At most, it would be more convenient for them to meet on weekends.

In addition, Shaylin had already made arrangements for Fleur's job. What Fleur didn't know was that when she applied for a job in Diagon Alley, Gringotts actually intended to give her this opportunity because she didn't ask for a high salary (she just wanted to stay in the UK to be with Shaylin).

But out of personal selfishness, Shaylin did not want her to have any contact with Bill Weasley, who also worked at Gringotts, so he used his friendship with Gringotts executive Griphook (whom he met through Slark) to make him reject Fleur's job application.

In fact, Xie Lin already had a small alchemy shop in Hogsmeade Village. Although the business was good, it was always limited to the anti-sickness bracelet as the main product. Xie Lin had long wanted to expand the business of this shop to enhance his influence in Hogsmeade Village, but he had no one he could trust.

The Miracle Alchemy Workshop is currently being run by a Malfoy family descendant who was assigned to him by Lucius. The person is honest and reliable, but lacks the ability to adapt and manage.

Therefore, another purpose of placing Fleur in Hogsmeade Village was to allow Fleur to take over his Miracle Alchemy Workshop, serve as the owner, and expand the potion business.

In this regard, Xie Ling already has a complete plan. When he spent so much time and effort researching beauty potions, he had already designed many of his own improved beauty potion formulas in the process, such as breast enhancement lotion, snow skin cream, ecstasy perfume and so on.

There is no need to worry about the supply of goods and manpower. Ordinary goods can be ordered through Melinda Bobin's family's chain of pharmacies, while those rare potion materials can be purchased from the French Magic Garden by Ali Bashir through legal channels.

In terms of manpower, Sherin can arrange more descendants of the Malfoy family to come and help, and Astoria and their Dragon Tail team can also provide a lot of help.

They could even provide a potion-selling service - all the potions that the members of the Sleeping Dragon Society made during their free time on campus could be stored here for sale, as one of the benefits of joining the Sleeping Dragon Society.

In this way, Furong had a job, and Xie Lin estimated that she would not object. After all, working here was close to home and even closer to Xie Lin. Besides, she was very passionate about potions, and the beauty potion was the love potion between her and Xie Lin. Xie Lin really couldn't think of a reason for her to refuse.

Sure enough, when Xie Ling proposed this idea to Furong, Furong agreed immediately when she heard that she could meet with Xie Ling frequently and that the work content was the beauty potion that she was most interested in.

Xielin summoned his six house-elves, which stunned Fleur. She had never seen a pure-blood family with more than one house-elf, but she had gradually gotten used to Xielin's magic.

The two people plus six house elves spent two full days to successfully renovate the Miracle Alchemy Workshop and double the business space inside. There were a large number of display cabinets on the bright glass doors and windows, allowing Furong to display the best-selling products that customers could buy on their own.

As for those limited edition beauty potions, such as the "Real Beauty Potion" made by Xie Lin and Furong in the competition, they must be booked in advance and must undergo professional testing and diagnosis by Furong before they can be purchased.

There are many bright flowers and plants placed in front of the store. The fragrant floral scent and fresh herbal aroma will hit the customers' noses the moment they enter the door.

There is a small magic fountain at the door. The fountain's eye is engraved with the symbol of "charm" in ancient Runic script by Schelling. Just taking a sip of it will make people radiant all day long.

Of course, running the Miracle Alchemy Workshop, in addition to being a job for Furong and generating revenue for Xie Ling, has a greater significance - this shop is linked to one of the most important strongholds of the Sleeping Dragon Society, and it is also the only secret passage that belongs only to the Sleeping Dragon Society and connects Hogwarts with the outside world.

Therefore, in addition to serving as the owner of the Miracle Alchemy Shop, Furong also officially became an off-campus member of the Sleeping Dragon Society, guarding and managing this stronghold for Xieling, and using the convenience of this shop to collect all intelligence inside and outside Hogsmeade village for Xieling. She became the person in charge of hosting and managing the intelligence network in this area, allowing Xieling's intelligence network to finally cover this area completely.
