"The Monster Book of Monsters"
Neither Wizet nor Luna are the type to seek the limelight, and anticipating this situation, they haven't been going out much lately.
There are plenty of things to do at home. While Wizet was organizing her notes, Luna was also tending to various Magical Plants in the garden.
During her previous trip, she bought several kinds of ornamental Magical Plants seeds, which she could take advantage of this time to tend to them.
Old Tom rubbed his shiny bald head, stepped forward, and said with some regret, "Minister Fudge was just talking about you guys when he left!"
Wizet and Luna exchanged a glance, seeing in each other's eyes a sense of relief, as if they had escaped a close call.
Xenophilius glanced at the other side of the stairs. "Because of Harry Potter?"
"Yes..." Old Tom nodded. "Sirius Black is too dangerous... I don't know what he learned from the He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named that allowed him to escape the Dementor ' pursuit."
"Minister Fudge would come to the Leaky Cauldron every day to meet Harry ... In his own words, ' Harry is too important to us, we must protect him.'"
Xenophilius with some emotion, "What a pitiful child to be entangled with someone like Fudge."
"Who says otherwise?" Old Tom nodded in agreement, then leaned closer to Xenophilius and whispered.
"Harry also complained to me... he felt his vision was getting blurry lately, and he wasn't sure if it was because Minister Fudge had to take pictures of him every morning."
"Fudge is like this..." Xenophilius nodded, slapped two Galleon on the table, "Give me three bottles of Coolick."
"Thank you for your patronage!" Old Tom smiled happily, calmly exchanging money and goods with practiced ease.
Wizet observed their actions, and at least in dealing with Cornelius Fudge, Xenophilius had been quite generous.
A brand new poster has appeared in the corridor leading to the small courtyard, bearing the following words: [Developed personally by the hero who saved the Magical Congress — Vizet Lovegood — Coolick!]
"My baby's bottle design is so beautiful!" Xenophilius looked at the poster of Coolick with a face full of pride.
"That must be the reason why they've been selling so well lately... They also like to mix it with alcohol and drink it together."
Not only did the Leaky Cauldron hang up such a poster, but the stationery store whose sign was so old that it was hard to read also put up a new sign:
[Proclaiming the glory of the England magical world— Wizet's favorite peacock quill pen—we only collect feathers fallen from peacocks, absolutely harmless!]
There's also a high-end wizard clothing store called "Twilfitt and Tattings," which also uses a single sign with similar wording:
[Showcasing the distinctiveness of England wizards—the peacock feather accessories favored by Wizet —no two peacock feathers are ever used; each accessory is unique!]
"Fudge is using any means necessary..." Xenophilius said disdainfully, "All that stuff about you is just to get their attention..."
"Once they understand, they'll realize how pathetic the Magical Congress is, how they were attacked by so many Fire Dragon without even knowing it. They'll see how much better things are here..."
"They're basically using me for advertising, aren't they?" Wizet murmured. "I should be able to get them to take it down, right?"
"I'm afraid there's nothing we can do..." Xenophilius shrugged. "Because they only wrote down one name, if you want to sue them, you'll still have to go to the Ministry of Magic ..."
Wizet. As for the poster at the Leaky Cauldron, since it was arranged by Hannah Abbott, it actually had Wizet's authorization and could indeed use the full name.
"So..." Xenophilius with a look of disgust, "Cornelius Fudge is such a despicable person!"
A major change has occurred at the entrance of Flourish and Blotts: the bookshelves that used to be displayed at the front have disappeared and been replaced by a large iron cage.
The cage almost reached the ceiling, with several layers separated by iron bars, and inside were books upon books.
Wizet looked at the top of the iron cage, where a notice read, "[Hogwarts Care of Magical Creatures class - * the Monster Book of Monsters *, no responsibility after sale, please note!]"
"The Monster Book of Monsters..." Luna looked at the book locked in the cage and couldn't help but laugh. "What an interesting book!"
It is indeed interesting to witness the battle between books;
Although the book cover is a beautiful and elegant green, it reveals an extremely wild side. This iron cage is like a gladiatorial arena, where all the "The Monster Book of Monsters" are vying for power.
"Oh... Mr. Vizet, hello!" A shop assistant saw Wizet standing at the shop entrance and quickly went to greet him.
"The boss isn't here today... but he told me you'd be coming. Remember you needed a copy of ' The Monster Book of Monsters '?... Let me get it!"
His tone was resolute, and protected by thick leather gloves, he approached the cage with a cane, giving off a sense of facing death without fear.
This outfit makes him look more like a novice hunter than a bookstore clerk, despite his fearless gaze and trembling hands.
"I really don't understand... why do we need this kind of book this year... I think we should get the Magical Menagerie to stock it; that's where they belong!"
While the shop assistant was speaking, two more copies of "The Monster Book of Monsters" suddenly joined forces, opening their pages to sandwich another copy of "The Monster Book of Monsters," seemingly trying to split it in two.
"Stupefy ..." Wizet waved his wand repeatedly, and several extremely faint red lights burst out, striking the books of "The Monster Book of Monsters".
The several books of "The Monster Book of Monsters," which had been locked in a fierce battle to the death, finally quieted down and became like ordinary books.
"Thank you so much for your help!" The shop assistant looked relieved and quickly used his cane to hook two of the "The Monster Book of Monsters" and hold them in his hands.
"As expected of someone who can save..." He opened his mouth, then quickly changed his words, "I tried using the Stunning Spell before, but it just blew up a book and I got fined."
"Perhaps it's because they were too fierce, and you acted to protect yourself, so the effect was too strong," Wizet explained with a smile.
"When casting Stunning Spell, you can change your mindset... For example, if you want to lull them to sleep, that's what I did just now... Although the power is relatively weak, it's just right."
"Of course, this shouldn't be an easy process. After all, it was only my first time seeing them, and I was able to maintain my composure. You, on the other hand, will have to face them every day."
"Yes! But I'll give it a try! Thank you so much!" The shop assistant nodded and tied up the unconscious copies of "The Monster Book of Monsters".
He glanced at Wizet's inventory list again, quickly prepared the other textbooks, and handed them all to Wizet...
