Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 67 Mundungus

Snape was obviously not surprised by the situation here. He walked up the creaky stairs of this shabby hotel, and Ethan followed.

The wooden stairs, which were in disrepair, could not bear the weight of the two grown men. They immediately creaked and groaned, and began to tremble slightly.

Ethan climbed the stairs carefully, trying to avoid the rotten parts of the wooden stairs. Witchers were afraid of falling. Even a very low place would cause great harm to the witcher. The specific reason was Ethan It’s also puzzling.

Snape quickly led Ethan to a room at the far end of the corridor on the second floor of the inn.

"Just leave the price negotiation and negotiation to me," Snape told Ethan.

Snape knocked on the broken door of the room in a special rhythm, but received no response. Snape waited quietly for a while, and then knocked again.

There was still no sound from the door, and Snape soon became impatient, "Mundungus, I know you're in there, please lock the fucking door."

Before he finished speaking, the dilapidated door was opened immediately. Inside was a short, fat wizard with an unshaven beard, two short bow legs, long and messy ginger hair, and a pair of swollen and bloodshot eyes. , there was a strong odor mixed with tobacco and alcohol.

"Damn it! Damn it! Don't call my name here!" Mundungus was frightened by Snape's behavior and said nervously. Mundungus stuck his head out the door and looked around to make sure the corridor was empty. Only one person breathed a sigh of relief.

"Stop standing around outside and come in quickly!" Mundungus grabbed Snape's sleeve with his dirty hands and dragged him into his room, followed by Ethan.

The situation in the room is not much better than outside. All the furniture is in tatters, the wallpaper is peeling, the floor is stained, the cabinet with holes, the armchair with a broken back, and the bed with only three legs are all that this room has. furniture.

"Did anyone follow you when you came here?" Mundungus looked a little nervous. When Ethan and Snape entered, he cautiously put his ear to the door for a while before moving away. Ear asked Snape.

"Mundungus, we are not as stupid as you!" Snape had already been made very impatient by Mundungus. He frowned and answered Mundungus.

"I'm so sorry." Mundungus scratched his messy hair, "Aurors have been causing trouble for me recently. It's always better to be cautious. I don't want to end up in Azkaban."

After saying that, Mundungus stared at Ethan suspiciously for a while, then approached Snape and said in a low-pitched voice, "Who is he? Is he trustworthy? Will he report us?"

Snape obviously didn't like Mundungus very much. Hearing Mundungus still chattering, Snape was obviously a little impatient. "Okay Mundungus, we are not interested in hearing your stories. No one will." Those who reported you, hurry up and start trading.”

Mundungus seemed to be a little afraid of Snape for some reason. Seeing that Snape was a little impatient, he shrank his head and said, "Have you brought the things? Take them out and let me see."

Snape winked at Ethan, who opened the bag and took out the unicorn hair and Acromantula venom obtained from the centaur's commission. There were so many things that the floor of the room was covered.

Mundungus's swollen eyes were filled with greed for a moment. He suppressed the urge to take these things for himself, and pretended to count a few bunches of unicorn tail hair for a long time.

Then he said in a pretentious manner: "It's not bad, Severus, I can get it for 3,000 gold galleons."

A clear look of anger appeared on Snape's face, "Put away your tricks, Mundungus, I know the value of these things, 10,000 gold galleons."

"10,000?!" Mundungus jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "You can't sell it directly on the market for such a high price! You are talking about the lion's mouth!"

After saying that, Mundungus closed his eyes, put on a distressed look, and stretched out his dirty palm, "5,000 gold galleons! This is the most I can afford."

Snape looked at Mundungus' pretentious look and sneered, turned to Ethan and said, "Put the things away and let's go. He doesn't want to do business at all."

Of course, Ethan understood that this was Snape's bargaining method, so he cooperated with Snape and packed up his things.

Mundungus showed an indifferent attitude at first, but when Ethan was about to finish it, Mundungus couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "Okay, okay, we can talk about it."

Mundungus sat down on the only three-legged bed in the room. His fat body made the old bed groan heavily.

"8,000 gold galleons, if it doesn't work, we'll leave immediately!" Snape said coldly, his patience having been exhausted to the limit.

Mundungus gritted his teeth and made a squeaking sound. After hesitating for a while, he finally let go, "Okay, okay, you win, 8,000 gold galleons."

"But I don't have that much cash on me right now. You can give me the goods and wait for a few days." Mundungus rolled his eyes and said.

"Stop playing tricks!" Snape took a step forward and grabbed Mundungus' dirty collar. "Put away your endless tricks. Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" "

"Okay, okay!" Mundungus was startled by Snape. He struggled to break free from Snape's hand and rummaged around in his pocket, and soon found a checkbook. .

After a lot of work, Mundungus finally got the check under Snape's supervision, tore it out of the checkbook and handed it to Snape.

"This is a bearer check from Gringotts. Don't go and withdraw the money right away. You'll go there in a few days." Mundungus straightened the collar that Snape had grabbed, even though they were in a mess.

Mundungus took out a large black leather suitcase and collected the unicorn fur and Acromantula venom that Ethan had spread out on the ground. He could see that the suitcase also had a traceless stretching spell.

After a while, Mundungus finally packed up everything. He stood up and held a large cloth to wrap his head and face.

"Then that's it for today, remember if anyone asks you where you last saw me, just say it was at the Pig's Head Bar a month ago." Mundungus' voice was a little muffled due to the cloth covering his mouth.

Mundungus seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned around to remind Snape and Ethan, "Don't leave with me. You must wait for half an hour after I leave!" Snape turned over after hearing this. Eyes, obviously not intending to listen to him.

Mundungus did not intend to leave through the normal door. He opened a window in the room, which led to a narrow alley. Mundungus looked around for a while to make sure there was no one before trying to climb through the window. , jump to the ground.

But because he was too fat, he still couldn't roll out after trying for a long time. In the end, it was Ethan who helped him and Mundungus successfully rolled out.

After landing, Mundungus showed agility that was completely inconsistent with his stature. He turned left and right and quickly disappeared from Ethan's sight.

After Mundungus left, Snape obviously did not intend to abide by Mundungus's instructions. He handed the check to Ethan, told Ethan to transfer his share to his account, and then left the room.
