章節 461: Chapter 460 "Wallup's Reputation"
Sean was not angry but instead asked Stephanie, "It seems that the Reiss father and son have quite a background?"
Stephanie shook her head, "He is the new director of the new branch of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects. Originally, the production of wands only needed to be reported to the Ministry of Magic."
"The Ministry of Magic itself has wands that can be checked at the security counter. However, with this department, my grandfather must report the size and material of each wand to the Ministry of Magic when making wands and register the owner of the wand after it is sold."
Sean nodded. Lupin had mentioned it to him before, but this new department was not very prominent in the Ministry of Magic, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Looking back now, Lupin did say that the new office director's surname is Reiss.
Stephanie leaned on a shelf and continued, "Mr. Reiss has quite a fortune, and it is said that he donated a large amount of Galleons in exchange for this position. Well, he is similar to a common idiot and felt he deserved the special treatment in the wand shop."
"Or they will find an opportunity to sanction your grandfather's report?" Sean joked about it.
As one of the three major wand makers in Europe, the most famous wand maker in the UK, and the heir to Ollivander's industry, Mr. Ollivander monopolized the market in this country and even had many foreign guests come to London just for a wand.
Seeing Sean's expression, Stephanie also knew what he was thinking, and she was a little helpless. "Well, Mr. Reiss has been here many times and found many problems that are not problems. My grandfather was devastated sometimes. I didn't expect his son to look like his father a lot. I'll go since they're guests here."
Capone was stunned for a moment. Obviously, the title of "poor" had hurt his self-esteem. Melanie was also taken aback for a moment and immediately reacted. She was so annoyed that she even ignored the measuring tape on her shoulder and stood in front of Capone.
"Apologize, apologize to my friend." The Reiss boy glanced at Melanie. When facing a girl, he took out a comb from nowhere, combed his hair, and put on a gentlemanly look that he thought he was proud of.
"Well, beautiful lady, is this your friend? I think you can have a better choice."
Sean almost laughed out loud. His father did not stop his son's behavior. After a glance, he poked the floor with his cane.
"Ollivander, I don't have much time. I'm going to the office later to check this month's wand filing list."
Mr. Ollivander is used to being a good old man. He is the kind of old gentleman who rarely conflicts with others.
He stood in front of Capone and Melanie and politely said, "In a moment, Mr. Reiss, these two guests will be ready soon. You know that it is the wand that chooses the wizard, not the wizard that chooses it, and it can't be rushed."
Mr. Reiss didn't have the heart to listen to Ollivander's words. He poked the floor hard again and didn't speak, but the meaning of the threat was already obvious.
The arrogant and domineering appearance of The Reiss boy can be seen. Seeing that his father was firm, he proudly puffed out his chest and continued to say to Melanie, "If you give me your contact information, I will let your 'friend' get his wand first."
"Keep dreaming." Melanie didn't reply, but Capone rushed forward with his fists already clenched.
"Watch what you're trying to do..." Mr. Reiss narrowed his eyes.
At this time, Stephanie walked over, "Mr. Reiss, Ollivanders is a small shop, and please keep your conflicts out of the shop. If it happens, it will become the last wand sold by Mr. Ollivander himself. My grandfather is tired and is going to hand over the store to me, but I am not good at doing these things. The closing notice will be posted later, and I will also discuss the details with the Ministry."
"Now," Stephanie made a welcome gesture with a blank expression, "He will try the wand for him later."
It was only then that he remembered Stephanie's sarcasm was powerful when facing these types of people. Mr. Reiss changed. He didn't expect that the girl in front of him could be so straightforward.
His complexion sank, and he replied, "When adults talk, children shouldn't interrupt. Ollivander, I'll give you ten minutes. Finish the wands for these two kids immediately."
"It won't take ten minutes. Ollivanders will in five minutes anyway." She said calmly.
"You!" Mr. Reiss was a bit annoyed.
However, when his father and Stephanie were in a stalemate, The Reiss boy didn't think that much about the situation at all. When he saw Stephanie coming out, his eyes lit up. He straightened his clothes and posed in what he thought was the most handsome pose.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Ollivander's granddaughter?"
Everyone else looked at him. Isn't that obvious?
He didn't notice other people's gaze at all but said with great confidence, "You're a beautiful one. I will give you a choice. If you go on a date with me, I will convince my father not to let him close down your store, and this poor boy can buy his wand with peace of mind. Ah, yes, don't forget to give me your contact information."
His last words were addressed to Melanie. Sean, in the corner, almost turned over laughing. At the beginning of school, a kid who hadn't entered school told a girl who was a seventh-grade senior that he wanted a date or threatened her with his father's power.
Stephanie turned her head and glanced at him. "Call me a senior, and besides, Is your mother a potion maker? You look like her test subject."
Sean couldn't help laughing out loud. Mr. Reiss was furious at his son's remarks, but Sean's sudden laughter made him notice that there was another person in the room.
"Shut it, Henry." He yelled at his son angrily and looked into the back room, "You there, come out. I am the director of the branch department of the Ministry, and I will search for you."
He wanted to find a reason to the one who was laughing whether or not he had contraband and take it to the Ministry of Magic. As for who the person was, Mr. Reiss didn't care at all.
"Are you calling me?"
Mr. Reiss emphasized his tone, "I have the right to investigate suspicious persons. Come out now."
"It's my guest, Mr. Reiss." Mr. Ollivander couldn't stand it now.
Mr. Reiss ignored him and took out a piece of parchment, "The search warrant issued by the minister, this is my right. I advise you not to interfere, Ollivander. Come out now, and don't force me to do it!"
The sunlight outside the shop shines through the window. A whole figure stepped out first, and Sean's innocent face appeared in front of everyone.
"Is it necessary?" He spread his hands.
"You must comply. I have reason to suspect that you are hiding some fake and illegal products that you should not have."
He was choking in his throat because he saw Sean's face. His eyes widened suddenly, and there was even a sound of bubbling in his throat, and the hand that had just been raised retracted behind his back.
"I'm sorry. I misidentified the person. I'm sorry. Mr. Ollivander, Miss Ollivander, and you two, I have caused you trouble. Oh, I think I remember I have an urgent matter to deal with. Let's go, Henry!"
While speaking at a super-high speed, Mr. Reiss tried to make every word he uttered clear, as if he were afraid Sean would not believe his explanation if he missed a word. After that, he pulled his son, who was still thinking about Stephanie's sentence and ran out of the shop.
"Uhh," Sean spread his hands, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Mr. Ollivander took a deep look at Sean, "No, no, Mr. Wallup, you look fine."
Capone and Melanie also looked at each other in a daze. They thought a problem was imminent, but they didn't expect him to be so scared when Sean came out.
Stephanie thought for a while and said, "They're gone; you can go on; the wand is waiting for a new owner."
"Oh, that's right. Come now, where did you measure just now?" Mr. Ollivander exclaimed and pulled the two of them along.
Back in the corner again, Stephanie glanced at Sean, "He is very afraid of you, which means that he knows some of your reputation."
Sean rubbed his chin, "I don't seem to have done anything scary, have I?"
Stephanie took a deep look at him, "I don't know about the others, but have you forgotten about the time Hogsmeade was attacked?"
"It seems that this Mr. Reiss knew some people from there."
That night, Sean killed a large number of wizards who attacked Hogsmeade and smashed all the corpses in front of the Guards who were in charge of guarding the border of Hogwarts at that time.
Stephanie thought of that scene and said calmly, "They will definitely tell others about your situation, and for most wizards, it should be something scary to hear from you."
She paused and added, "Of course, you gave a lot of people a great sense of security that day."
Sean smiled, "Thank you for the compliment. It seems that Mr. Reiss has something to do with the Guards."
Stephanie nodded and said, "He may have seen that night with his own eyes, or he wouldn't be as afraid as this. Congratulations, Mr. Wallup, your reputation has spread far and wide."
"That's good news. Saves me a lot of trouble. Do I have to go back to that guy later?"
"Not really, he probably won't trouble the Ollivanders again."
While the two were talking, Melanie and Capone were selected by two magic wands, and golden-red flames burst out of the room.
"Beautiful, beautiful!" Mr. Ollivander applauded.
After a few more minutes, Stephanie went outside and returned to the house after seeing Sean disappear around the corner.
"Come go get some ice cream. Capone, I have something to tell you."
