"What's the name of our store?" Ivan turned his head to look at Althea with a confused expression, and the latter's expression was calm, waving his wand and hanging up the sign, before he opened his mouth to explain.

"Don't you think that's a fitting name? You can't call it a black magic store, right? The Ministry of Magic would not allow such a name to pass the registration process. ”

Ivan looked at Althea suspiciously, thinking that she must have come up with it when she registered the name of the store, otherwise she wouldn't have kept the store's sign in the corner and put it in ashes, until today after learning that the Ministry of Magic might come to review it, she hurriedly hung it up.

"Alright, let's open like this today!" Althea patted the dust off her body and re-entered the store, her cheeks slightly reddened.

She shouldn't have chosen this name in the first place...

In view of this, Althea continued to hand over the responsibility of guarding the store to Ivan, and he hid in the basement, reportedly preparing to make some simple magic items to fill the store in the next few days, and prevaricate the inspectors of the Ministry of Magic.

"Can I take this sign off first?" Ivan sighed, sat down at the counter with his book in hand, and glanced at the nearly empty shop.

Rows of shelves were left empty, and only a few shelves still had one or two magical items on them, and most people who didn't know would think that this place had been ransacked.

"It's not going to go on like this." Ivan sighed, this is also his own magic shop, it seems that he needs to think of a way.

Otherwise, Ivan felt that he might not even be able to afford textbooks, after all, he needed to buy Lockhart's series of books next semester, which was too many and expensive.

Just as Ivan was thinking this, the system's prompt sounded in his head.

[Ding, task generating...]

Ivan was stunned suddenly, he didn't expect to be able to activate the task at this time, he thought that when the system was upgraded, this function would be turned off.

Ivan looked at it curiously.

[Mission: Revive the Hals Strange Magic Item Shop.]

Objective: Pass the Ministry of Magic inspection in one month

Quest rewards: Depends on evaluation.

Mission Description: This is a magic shop located in Tumbledown Alley, and now at risk of closing, you can't sit back and watch this happen, so you decided to revitalize this magic shop... Before that, you need to go through an inspection by the Ministry of Magic. 】

"Will the Ministry of Magic inspect in a month?" Ivan muttered to himself after glancing at the mission information.

He thought it would be earlier...

But think about it, the Ministry of Magic, as an official agency, works according to procedures, plus there are many people, and the news has been revealed by insiders long before the Ministry of Magic makes any moves.

What Doggett got was the gossip revealed by insiders, which is why he was so uncertain.

Ivan was also quite speechless when he thought of this, it was foreseeable that when the Ministry of Magic really started to act, he could only find some dark wizards who had no connections, and those who had the ability would have already disposed of what should be dealt with.

It's like Old Malfoy, who disposed of the Horcrux in advance after getting the news in the original plane.

Fortunately, this mechanism of operation of the Ministry of Magic could not be better news for Ivan, which meant that he had a month to prepare and pass the review.

Ivan turned his head and glanced in the direction of the basement,

Although Althea said that she would make some simple magic items and put them on the shelves to fool the Ministry of Magic inspectors who came to investigate.

But Ivan didn't think it was very reliable, and the reward for completing the task was based on evaluation, and Ivan was not prepared to take a minimum evaluation.

It's best to use the censors of the Ministry of Magic to promote the magic shop.

It's not impossible, as long as he can come up with enough magic items to make the Ministry of Magic tempted to procure them.

Ivan remembers that in the original book, after the Weasleys were expelled from school, they made a spell cap (spell glove) in a joke toy store, and the Ministry of Magic purchased a full 500 sets!

Maybe he could get something like that out as well, maybe he could impress the members of the Ministry of Magic who came to make the inspection, so that the evaluation would be higher, right?

Thinking of a way to complete the task, Ivan took out a notebook and began to scribble, sorting out his plan for the transformation of Hals's strange magic item store.

In his vision, it would be better to make his store a place where everything can be sold in black and white.

During normal business hours, you can sell defensive and auxiliary ordinary magic items, and in private, you can sell some extremely dangerous and lethal black magic items, in short, as long as customers need it, they can buy everything they want here!

Even Ivan felt that after his alchemy level was raised, he could sell some real alchemy products here.

Kindness... Potions might be able to be sold, too!

The next day, while eating, Ivan talked about his grand plan to renovate the store.

Althea just smiled casually, bluntly saying that he wouldn't think that way when he started learning how to make magical items.

"Is it really that hard?" Ivan wondered.

"Of course, and it's boring, and you'd better be prepared to suffer. In a month's time, as long as you can learn some basics, I am very satisfied. Aisya knocked Ivan on the head with a spoon and told him not to daydream.

"My learning speed is very fast..."Ivan silently complained in his heart, especially when he wanted to be a top student.

After eating breakfast in a hurry, because he wanted to teach Ivan how to make magic items, Althea simply closed the magic shop, and there was nothing to sell anyway.

After entering the work area in the basement,

Althea didn't start teaching right away, but asked first.

"What do you think of the process of a magic release?"

"Use a wand to channel the magic in your body, plus gestures and spells." Ivan thought for a moment and replied.

"Yes, like the Levitation Charm." Althea explained with a slight wave of her wand, levitating a carving knife.

"Levitating the object is the end result of the spell, and all we need to do is use gestures and spells to let the magic in our body know that we want this thing to float."

Ivan nodded, and he probably figured it out based on the books he had read these days.

If the body is a pistol, then the magic is the bullet, and the spells and gestures are the action of loading and pulling the trigger.

"In other words, magic items are instead of gestures and spells, and we only need to inject some magic to be able to release magic directly." Ivan finally concluded.

"That's a good point." Althea was very satisfied with Ivan's comprehension, and she was worried that Ivan would not be able to understand it if he was too young.
