Return of Salazar Slytherin

122- Lupet’s Dessert Shop

"Dear passengers, the train is about to arrive at King's Cross Station. Passengers who are preparing to get off the train, please take your belongings with you, get off the train in order, and leave the station in an orderly manner."

As the broadcast sounded from the carriage's loudspeakers, the little wizards stood up from their seats, changed their wizard robes into Muggle clothes, and took their luggage down from the shelves.

When the train arrived, they all rushed to the platform and were blocked there because the Ministry of Magic sent people to allow only a few people to pass at a time, so that students would not come out of the wall in large numbers at the same time and attract the attention of Muggles.

"Why don't they cast an illusion spell on the students leaving the station? That way they can go faster."

Looking at the long line in front of him, Rhys couldn't help but complain.

He also felt that this method was not very reliable. He only needed three minutes to think of five or six faster and safer ways to enter and exit the station.

For example, they could set up some fireplaces in the station and use the Floo Network to transfer students; or, they could place the entrances and exits of the platform underground to avoid being seen by Muggles; having a wizard who is proficient in the Disillusionment Charm cast a mass disillusionment charm on students leaving the station also seems to be a good option.

"Is it possible that the Disillusionment Charm is a very advanced spell, and there are too many students going home for the summer vacation, so the Ministry of Magic cannot cast the Disillusionment Charm on everyone?" Daphne glanced at Rhys and said in an uncertain tone - if the Disillusionment Charm is as simple as the Levitation Charm, then the Invisibility Cloak would not be sold so expensively.

If it was a year ago, her tone would be very firm, but now she is a little unsure. Because Rhys taught her the Disillusionment Charm, and she learned it. She felt that this spell didn't seem very difficult, and didn't understand why so many people couldn't learn it.

"Using the Disillusionment Charm also has great disadvantages. For example, parents who go out to pick up their children at the station won't be able to see their children. Another example, if the Disillusionment Charm wears off and we suddenly appear, it will cause more chaos." A voice came from behind the two of them.

Rhys looked back and found that it was a red-haired boy talking to him. Next to him stood a person who looked exactly like him, who was also looking at them with a smile.

He recognized them immediately; they were Ron's twin brothers, Fred and George.

Obviously, the long wait made these two overly energetic guys feel bored, and they just followed Rhys's words and started chatting with him.

"I'm Fred." George greeted Rhys, and Fred, who was standing next to him, winked at him.

"Hi George, I'm Rhys."

"Huh?" George raised his eyebrows, not understanding how he was exposed.

Then he understood the next second, because Rhys was gonna say the same sentence to both of them, and his reaction exposed his prank instead.

As for the source of Rhys's suspicion, it was naturally the rich micro-expressions on his good brother's face.

George gave his brother a direct elbow.

"I told you to make faces at the side. Look, now you've found out what's wrong!"

"Let's get acquainted again. I'm George and he's Fred." George stretched out his hand to Rhys and swore on his broom that he was really George. "Remember, I will never make the mistake of being recognized by you next time~"

"Heh, you don't have to think about not making a mistake. I'll be able to figure it out again." Rhys patted George's hand.

His words made George raise his eyebrows, he obviously didn't believe it.

"If you don't believe me, we can make a bet." Rhys said confidently.

"It's a deal." George agreed without thinking. "Let's bet whether you can recognize us at the opening ceremony in September this year. If you can, we can help you bring some things from Hogsmeade. Whether it's on the permitted list or not, we can handle it. If you recognize it wrongly, I will also treat you to candy, but.. hehe.. it'll be the candy we invented ourselves."

George was more confident than Rhys, because sometimes their biological mother couldn't tell them apart, let alone the new student who had just met them.

If he was lucky and guessed right, he and Fred would not lose anything, but could take the opportunity to expand their purchasing business, which would be a win-win for both of them.

The source of Rhys's confidence was that he could identify people by distinguishing their magic.

Although Fred and George looked the same as if they had drunk Polyjuice Potion, there were still subtle differences in the fluctuations of their mana. For him, distinguishing Fred and George was as difficult as distinguishing Harry and Draco.

Finally, several people walked out of the platform.

The first person Rhys saw was Fred and George's family. They all had red hair, which made them very recognizable in the crowd.

Their little daughter even shouted excitedly when she saw Harry.

"Ginny is a huge fan of Harry. I bet her obsession with Harry is no less than her mother's obsession with Lockhart."

"That's the filthiest thing you've ever said to Harry," George quipped.

Not far from the Weasley family stood a well-dressed gentleman. A pretty little girl with brown hair was standing behind him, holding the corner of his suit with her hand.

The man was Daphne's father, Mr. Jamison Henry Greengrass, and his daughter, Astoria.

What is very interesting is that a middle-aged fat man with a purple face and a big beard is standing next to Henry and talking to him happily.

The Greengrass family is different from other pure-blood families. They still retain some industries in the Muggle world, which are managed by the Squibs in the family, such as several wine estates.

This is also the reason why he successfully attracted Vernon Dursley.

"You can try to pick grapes with our company's harvester. The efficiency is first-class, and we have a complete after-sales warranty service."

"Mr. Dursley, my family's wine estate has been adhering to manual harvesting and picking since the 10th century. I have no intention of changing the tradition that has been maintained for thousands of years... Oh, sorry, my daughter is here." Jamison Henry walked quickly to Daphne, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her forehead.

Harry also walked out of the station and came to his uncle, happily telling him that he had just been chatting with a wizard of astonishing blood purity.

Harry was delighted (?) to see Uncle Vernon's fat face turn pale in an instant.

Rhys also found Lupert who was waiting for him at the station. After handing his luggage to her, Rhys waved goodbye to the new friends he met at school and set off on his way home.

He said he was going home, but in fact he was going back to Diagon Alley. Both he and Lupet were homeless, so they had to rent a house in Diagon Alley.

But when Lupet brought Rhys to the front of the house she rented in Diagon Alley, he was stunned.

"Lupet's Dessert Shop?" Rhys read out the words on the shop sign in an incredible tone: "Is this where you live?!"
