Chapter 273 Hufflepuff’s Interview

"That's the place I told you to stay." Les scratched his head, wondering secretly in his heart: Why did Dumbledore choose the interview location at Lupert's Dessert Shop? Did he notice something abnormal? What's even more strange is that , didn’t he reply to this letter too quickly?

From receiving the letter, writing a reply, to sending the letter back, it took less than ten minutes in total. Even if the owls used in the magic world are magical, this speed is abnormally fast.

When he asked about the interview time again, and learned that he was going for the interview now, Rice understood immediately: Dumbledore was in Diagon Alley right now. Maybe the owl just flew into the air and saw Dumbledore. That iconic white beard.

"Would you like to go to the dessert shop with me?" After knowing that the dessert shop was where Les mentioned she lived, Helga invited Les to go there with her and watch her interview.

"Okay, I'll show you the way." Les took the lead and led Hufflepuff to Rupert's Dessert Shop.

On the way, he noticed that Hufflepuff's eyes kept glancing at the shop windows on the street.

"Isn't it incredible? The magic world has become so prosperous. In our time, there were no such prosperous magic streets."

Hufflepuff nodded, but there was also a sense of dissonance in his heart: such a prosperous magical world, and the stagnant or even regressing level of magic, created a strong sense of separation.

After thinking about it, she believed that this was caused by the "Secrecy Act" - under the control of the Secrecy Act, although the settlements where wizards lived were not affected, the "bazaar" needed for shopping was greatly affected.

Helga felt that maybe the entire British magic market was concentrated in this area, resulting in abnormal and abnormal prosperity. The magic shops that could be found in the corner of every town in their day have probably disappeared.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​opening a dessert shop?" The conversation quickly shifted to Rice's shop.

Hufflepuff was quite surprised to learn that Salazar funded a dessert shop, because the old viper was good at and liked potion making, but he liked food magic more.

So how did this guy get involved with the dessert shop? Could it be that he mixed some ingredients into his desserts to make customers dependent on his desserts?

Les didn't know what Hufflepuff was thinking. If he knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be angry and yell: If he has the energy, shouldn't he focus on opening a potion shop? What's the point of taking off your pants and farting?

He just gave the werewolf he took in a little start-up capital, and it was her choice to open a dessert shop.

"It's not my fault." Rice told Hufflepuff's story about Lupert. After listening, she stared at him with a very strange look.

"What's wrong?" Les noticed Helga's strange look.

"Your temperament has really changed. You would have killed this werewolf without hesitation back then, instead of leaving her alive. You would have tried your best to treat her with magic spells and give her money - it's incredible, you Is it really my old friend named Salazar Slytherin?"

Les rubbed his hands. He had also thought about this question and got a definite answer.

"Because Godric and I proved that the werewolf problem cannot be solved by killing. But you and Rowena's spell can." Les told Helga that the magic world was promoting the humanoid restoration spell.

"Werewolves, as a group, may become extinct within this century."

Helga:!

"I didn't expect that spell to have such a powerful effect." Helga sighed, thinking this was really incredible.

A small act of kindness that she and her friends performed back then actually made lycanthropy, a notorious disease, extinct. She actually thought that Salazar and Godric's approach was more effective, but she just couldn't bear it.

The location of Lupet Dessert Shop was not too remote, and the two of them quickly arrived outside the shop.

The dessert shop has been doing very well over the past year. Lupet even used part of the funds to expand the store and build a small courtyard next to the dessert shop, where customers can taste the newly purchased desserts.

Dumbledore was sitting in the small courtyard waiting for "Ms. White". There were several plates of desserts piled in front of him and a large glass of ice cream. Helga who walked into the courtyard looked at him blankly.

"Ms. Smith White, right? Please take a seat!" Dumbledore recognized at a glance that Hufflepuff was the girl who applied for him, so he enthusiastically invited her to sit down and chat.

He also discovered Rice, who brought Ms. White here, but he didn't pay much attention to it because Dumbledore knew that the shop was opened by a relative of Rice. It was quite normal for him to be here, so Dumbledore just said hello to Les and wished him a happy holiday.

"Would you like some dessert? I have long heard that there is a dessert shop in Diagon Alley, but I have never had time to come and taste it before. I finally got some free time today - and then I received your application letter. This is really great. What a coincidence." He conjured up two empty plates and two sets of cutlery, and after passing one set to Hufflepuff, he kept one set for himself.

"Try it. The specialty of this shop is 'Muggle desserts'. It is different from the common sweets on the market and has a unique taste." Dumbledore enthusiastically recommended the signature Rupert Dessert Shop to Helga. dessert.

Dumbledore was in a really good mood after eating a novel dessert today.

This enthusiasm and happiness was passed on to Hufflepuff. She was moved by Dumbledore's mood. Even though she was not very interested in desserts, she took the initiative to pick up a round pastry and put it in her mouth to taste - this The dessert called Puffs was pretty good, not as sweet as she imagined.

Dumbledore invited her to try the dessert, and Helga didn't want to be left behind. So she took out two glasses and offered Dumbledore a glass of wine-flavored water.

"Excellent food magic!" Hufflepuff's magic amazed Dumbledore. After taking a sip of the drink she provided, he couldn't help but cheer for her.

"It's just a little trick, the content in the glasses is still essentially water." Helga waved her hand, and the wine in the two glasses turned back into water.

Dumbledore's expression became even more exciting. Just now, he thought Ms. White had used some kind of food magic to summon wine stored elsewhere into the cup. But now after being explained by her, Dumbledore found that he had never heard of or seen this kind of spell.

Now, he became very interested in Ms. White in front of him, and he wanted to have a serious chat with her.
