The Jumping Magic Joke Shop specializes in prank props and gadgets, similar to Zuko's Joke Shop in Hogsmeade. Wayne bought two copies of each product, one to play with and one for research. Although he only bought two of each item, the sheer quantity made the clerk almost burst into laughter.
"Is this a young master from a pure-blood family shopping for goods?" the clerk wondered, seeing Wayne spend dozens of Galleons on prank props. "He must be making a big commission."
After the shopping spree, Wayne sat under the umbrella of Florin's Cold Drink Shop and ate ice cream. Meanwhile, points began appearing in his mind one after another.
[Successfully prevented a wizard from entering Diagon Alley, points +5]
[Successfully interfered with a wizard entering Diagon Alley, points +1]
[Successfully prevented a wizard from entering Diagon Alley, points +5]
Wayne smiled. Although the amount of points was small, they added up quickly. In just a short time, his points had reached eighty. System points could be used for lottery draws—one hundred points per draw. The lottery quality was divided into white, blue, purple, and gold, and one hundred golds could be drawn.
In the years since obtaining the system, Wayne had only received one golden award, which gave him 15% of the original non-dilutable shares of Microsoft. He wondered if there was any guarantee left. He had drawn more than 130 times now and could get the golden reward again with just 70 more draws.
"System, give me a message."
[Ding! The card drawing mechanism is not affected by upgrades, and the host will definitely receive a golden reward within sixty-four draws.]
"That's pretty much it," Wayne said, happy as he ate the last bite of ice cream. Seeing that his points had jumped to 100, he used them casually. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be purple. The probability of getting purple was only 10%, so this was a small win.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent: Magical Animal Affinity!]
Wayne raised his eyebrows. It looked good. Magical animals were an important part of the magical world, and if used well, even the Dark Lord could be defeated.
He called out, "Are you right, Laoge?"
After paying the bill, Wayne got up and walked to the Fantastic Beasts Shop on the south side of Diagon Alley, eager to try out his new talent.
Meanwhile, at the Leaky Cauldron:
"No, who did this?" Old Tom stood in front of the brick wall and shouted to the sky. Behind him stood several wizards, all with angry faces.
"It's so wicked!"
"That's right! I searched for a long time and couldn't find the brick!"
"Stop talking. I found the right place but wasn't sure if it was the right one. I didn't dare to touch it. If I made a mistake and called the batter, I'd be fined."
Facing the new walls and rows of identical trash cans, the group of wizards were fuming.
Old Tom blushed and moved the duplicate trash cans away one by one, leaving only the original one. Looking at the wall, his anger faded.
Don't tell me, but this repaired wall looks better than the old dilapidated one, he thought. Using his magic wand, Old Tom turned the original brick red and left the others as they were.
"Who did it?"
"Who else could it be? It must be those naughty little wizards."
"Did you see anyone come in just now?"
The group of wizards wanted to find the culprit, and Old Tom fell into deep thought.
Wayne's figure subconsciously appeared in his mind. Problems arose not long after this little wizard left. Logically speaking, he is the most suspect. But Tom soon ruled out this thought.
The reason is simple. The young wizards who could be accompanied by Professor McGonagall must have come from Muggle families and had never been exposed to magic before. How could it be possible to learn such exquisite repair and copy spells in just a few days?
He looked at all those trash cans, which should last at least a month. Impossible, absolutely impossible. Wayne seems to be a very well-behaved kid, not the kind of naughty child.
Suddenly, someone said, "I was just drinking when I saw the Weasley twins coming." The scene became quiet for a moment and then excited.
"That's right! It must be them. They moved the trash can to the other side last time and made me poke the wrong brick like a fool!"
"That's so bad! Weasley and Jasmine must discipline them."
A few people just said things to each other and directly put the blame on a pair of twins who didn't know anything about it. Even Old Tom believed it because he did see the twins coming. Although it happened a long time ago, not many wizards entered Diagon Alley through them. Maybe these wizards have memorized the location and don't need to locate the trash can?
Old Tom became more and more angry as he thought about it. He ran to the counter, took out a stack of parchment, and started writing a letter. He wanted to complain to Jasmine!
When the twins sneaked out for a day and returned home through the fireplace in Diagon Alley, they immediately received a loving education from their mother. They were confused, and after understanding the situation, they even complained that they were wronged. They really didn't do any pranks today; they just went out for a walk to see if there were any new products in the prank shop.
It wasn't them! Unfortunately, based on the twins' past behavior, Jasmine didn't believe their lies. After eating a meal of stir-fried pork slices with bamboo shoots, she threw them back into their room and put them in solitary confinement.
The twins looked at each other with their teeth itching with hatred. They have always tricked others; why are there still people tricking them today?
However, these are all things for later. At this moment, the culprit, Mr. Wayne Lawrence, has arrived at the Fantastic Beasts Shop and is enjoying being surrounded by the critters. As soon as he entered, he immediately attracted the attention of all the magical animals.
Several sleeping owls flew over and started fighting over who could stand on his shoulders. The group of cats who were indifferent to humans also walked over gracefully, squinting their eyes and rubbing Wayne's trouser legs.
Wayne reached out, picked up a short-haired cat, and began to pet it. The clerks were stunned. This cat is the most aloof one in the store. Usually, customers see how cute it is and want to buy it.
But the cat didn't even bother to look at them, so they had no choice but to give up in the end. Why are you so cooperative today and showing your belly with a look of enjoyment?
The clerk looked at Wayne. What kind of little wizard is this? He must be a Veela that ran out of nowhere!
