Chapter 461: Hogwarts' Learning Panel — Chapter 194

Xiang Xiang Xien had gradually mastered his Animagus form, and his soul-shaping had reached 【Beginner】.

On this day, just as the storm had begun to ease, Fairy Tale Workshop was about to open for business.

The entire British Wizarding World was in an uproar, hoping to receive that invitation.

By now, invitations on the black market had been bid up to a sky-high price of over a hundred Jin Jialong, but unfortunately, the invitations were enchanted with Shu De Mo Fa, so the bought ones were useless.

Of course, no one was selling them — it was discovered after an old wizard passed away during this period, when his son was stopped at the door.

The Daily Prophet was splashing the story all over its pages, even squeezing the news of the famous Lockhart's upcoming book-signing to the side.

After all, who could blame them, given that this special interview with "Mr. Hermes" had been released.

As if to build momentum, the Waweiyuan Society released an exclusive interview in the second week after launching the new cards.

At the same time, they dropped a bombshell — the back of one "Hermes Card" came with a Fairy Tale Workshop invitation attached.

This nearly more than doubled the crowds in Diagon Alley, and even drew wizards from many other countries.

Xiang Xiang Xien paid no heed to the stir outside; glancing at the gloomy figure beside him, he was slightly surprised.

The professor was actually going with him.

"Have you forgotten that you are still serving detention —"

Professor Professor Sineipu said in a sinister tone,

"You'd better hurry up — Xiang Xiang Xien Green —"

His voice was drawn out long, but the pressure was no longer so strong.

In the corridor.

Sir Cadogan donned the helmet he hadn't worn in ages, so that Lady Violet couldn't read his expression.

Only after the two black-robed figures, one large and one small, had vanished did the knight bury his face in the pony's mane, gulping wine down with a gurgle.

It was only then that Lady Violet and the Fat Lady noticed he was streaming with tears and snot:

"Lady, do you know?

A wizard's bravery always falls into two kinds — one is the bravery that throws caution to the wind, the other is the bravery that bears humiliation and carries the burden.

Which of these two kinds of bravery is nobler? Even now, no one has been able to settle which is higher…"

The knight spoke words no one could understand, only gurgling his wine, and then set off to duel the monks who supplied the wine. His reason was that last century they had tried to sneak a peek under Young Lady Sunflower's skirt…

The monks were certainly lecherous — every portrait in Hogwarts knew that — but a knight who remembered black marks from several centuries, like this one, was a rare sight.

The Fat Lady finally understood why the knight could always find someone to duel.

……

Diagon Alley, in front of shop number seventy-seven.

The shop hadn't opened yet,

but a small stall selling Chocolate Frogs had already been set up beside it, and wizards who had no invitation but wore a look of longing immediately began queuing at the stall.

Harry and Luo En were among them.

They had come along with Fred and George; unlike a certain hands-off shareholder, Fred and George ran the shop with enthusiasm every single day.

Now they had even rented a shop in Hogsmeade Village, and the two were excitedly determined to take Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes worldwide.

Thanks to them, Harry and Luo En could also come buy some Chocolate Frog cards — Luo En had always wanted to collect that set of "Hermes Cards."

The fireplace inside Fairy Tale Workshop suddenly flared to life, and the warm orange lights came on,

and amid the tense, buzzing atmosphere, Fairy Tale Workshop opened its doors.

Wizards swarmed in — from the moment they received the invitation, they had been looking forward to this day.

Professor Professor Sineipu swept into the shop like a storm cloud, and the moment he caught sight of Professor Professor Qiluo, his face turned terrifyingly grim.

He drew his wand and pressed it against Professor Professor Qiluo's chest:

"Ah — I had thought you might have the sense — to, say, get out of Britain —"
