Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Chapter 31 Elena, Come Out! (Thanks to Yan Bao’s Alliance Leader)

After a morning of experience, Dumbledore now had to admit that personally bringing Elena to Diagon Alley for school supplies was one of the best decisions he made this month.

In Dumbledore's long life, he met many wizards who were keen on potions or herbalism. Even among the professors at Hogwarts today, there is one who may be the best of his age. Potions Master. When they face various potions and herbs, they will show a completely different enthusiasm than usual.

Dumbledore had no doubt that after entering Hogwarts, this little silver-haired lolita would do very well in Potions and Herbology classes. That is, of course, if she doesn't get kicked out of the classroom by angry professors.

Because the enthusiasm shown by Elena is different from everyone before.

“Hello, please chop half a bite of kale for me.”

"Please cut one kilogram of the liver of Iza's two-headed cow for me."

"Hey, can you add some salt to this Mani turkey blood, solidify it into a blood clot, and sell it to me?"

"Peppermint? It sounds good. It would be good to sprinkle some on the grilled fish. Grab a handful for me. Thank you."

"And I think you can also buy 500 grams of this white bean..."

"...Hey, hey, hey?! Professor Dumbledore, please don't pull me, I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Dumbledore nodded to the pharmacy clerk with a warm look on his face, put the study utensils on the counter and a standard dose of various medicinal powders into a small bag, and stretched out his hand to pull out the drooling silver-haired little Lolita. to the pharmacy.

"Let me see, we have bought books, pewter pots, scales, and the Potions class materials we just bought..."

Ignoring the noisy Elena, Dumbledore took out the first-year shopping list from his arms and checked it again.

"All that's left is your wand..."

"I won't listen to you! I'm going to buy groceries!"

Elena wrinkled her nose, made a face, broke away while Dumbledore wasn't paying attention, ran back to the pharmacy, looked at the wizard behind the counter and said.

"Now, as I just said, help me get ready quickly."

As the silver-haired little loli spoke, she opened the small purse on her waist and prepared to continue her "grocery shopping plan."

"I'm sorry, but Professor Dumbledore just told me not to sell you any supplies except the admission list. So..."

The pharmacy clerk was a young wizard. He shook his head politely and rejected Elena's request without mercy. As a graduate of Hogwarts, he naturally did not respond to Dumbledore's instructions. Reason for rejection.

Therefore, no matter what Elena said, or whether she used gold galleons as a lure, it all ended in failure.

Gu!

Elena, who found nothing, puffed up her cheeks angrily and stormed out of the pharmacy.

Outside the door, the slender Dumbledore stood in his previous position with a smile, watching with interest as Elena returned to him along the same route, shook his head, and explained seriously.

"Miss Elena, potions and herbalism are both very advanced knowledge. I don't want you to purchase too many dangerous and strange items before you go through systematic courses."

"For example, the white bean you wanted to buy just now is actually the fruit of sleepweed. There is a silvery thick juice in it. Taking it directly will temporarily remove people's memory. The knowledge about potions related to it is only for sixth grade students. What you will learn.”

Raising her head and looking at Dumbledore who was explaining seriously, Elena asked dissatisfiedly.

"So... I want to cut half a bite of cabbage and take it back to the orphanage for cooking. What's wrong with that? Isn't it just a moving cabbage? After it's cooked, it's almost the same as an ordinary cabbage. Could it be said that moving vegetables are just like ordinary cabbage? Isn’t it a vegetable?”

"On this point, you can ask Professor Sprout, who is in charge of the herbal medicine class, for advice later. In short, the handling of magic plants requires learning."

Blinking in embarrassment, Dumbledore was at a rare loss for words and abruptly changed the subject.

"I think you must be looking forward to having your own wand now. This is what all little wizards desire most."

As Dumbledore spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Elena toward Ollivander's Wand Shop at the end of Diagon Alley.

"No, I don't want to! You just abuse your power to bully others!"

Elena waved her hand suddenly, avoided Dumbledore, and said angrily.

For a foodie like her, it's important that the wand has real food. What made her most angry was that Elena clearly felt that she was being targeted by Dumbledore.

"I'm not allowed to buy pets, broomsticks, or potions. Even textbooks are not given to me until after school starts. Should I go to Hogwarts or go to jail?"

The emotions that the silver-haired little loli had been accumulating all morning finally burst out. Along the way, Dumbledore was like a repeater, saying two sentences back and forth - "You can't buy this.", "There." can not go."

Although Elena had made up her mind and would definitely find time to sneak into Diagon Alley in the future, that couldn't stop Dumbledore from going to a store and asking the clerk to put her on the restricted sale list.

"Well……"

Facing Elena's question, Dumbledore touched his long beard with a slight embarrassment.

Thinking about it this way, he also felt that he might be a little too nervous, but for some reason, he had been feeling uneasy since he came out of Gringotts.

I glanced at Elena, who was kicking pebbles on the ground to vent her anger. Even when she was angry, she looked extremely cute, and people couldn't help but want to pinch her cute little cheeks.

Dumbledore thought for a while and said tentatively.

"How about... let's go to the pet shop first? I remember you said before that you like magical animals."

Whether it is opening up the purchase of magic materials or allowing Elena to buy those weird magic props, Dumbledore thinks it is a situation that is likely to lead to very dangerous consequences.

In contrast, if you can absorb Elena's personality by raising a pet, it would not be a good thing.

Pet shop? This works!

Elena's eyes lit up, and her face suddenly turned cloudy and clear.

"Since you said so, Professor Dumbledore, then I have nothing to refuse... Hehehe, the pet shop you are talking about is the magical zoo, right?!"

The silver-haired little loli was a little reserved at first and said a few polite words. Then she changed the subject and let out a string of laughter like silver bells. She passed through the crowd and rushed straight into the store she had been paying attention to for a long time.

"Hey, run slower, be careful not to bump into people."

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly and followed Elena into the store called [Magical Zoo].

The store is not big, and the walls are densely covered with cages. There is a faint smell in the air, and it is noisy, because the guys in the cages are squeaking, chirping, or hissing. sound.

Two giant purple toads sat in a cage near the door, gorging on dead flies. A terrifyingly big turtle stayed motionless by the window, as if it was in a bad mood, and the shell on its back shone like a gem.

There are also cats of various colors, a cage of noisy ravens, a basket of funny custard-colored fluff balls buzzing, and two two-tailed salamanders in a glass tank fighting each other for a piece of food. Fight.

A chubby white rabbit turned into a satin top hat with a snap, and changed back again with a snap. It kept changing like this, trying to attract the attention of people in the store.

Elena licked her lips lightly.

It’s so – awesome!

As Mr. Newt Scamander said, every magical animal is full of fascinating charm, and people can't help but want to get close and study them.

As Elena's eyes swept across the store, the noisy small space suddenly became quiet. Even the noisiest raven suddenly stopped, shook its body, and paced back and forth in the cage with fluttering wings restlessly.

In the entire magical beast store, only the girl's crisp voice echoed in the room.

"Hello, I want to buy this fat white rabbit."

"Please help me install the two twin-tailed salamanders that are fighting. By the way, I also need three or four of those beautiful-looking fluff balls."

"And that big turtle that looks a little depressed, why not sell it to me too..."

"Elena Kaslana! Come out!"

"Hey, hey, hey?!...Professor Dumbledore, let me go. You promised to buy me a pet, how can you not keep your promise!"

Dumbledore, who had just entered the store, did not hesitate at all. With a dark face, he grabbed the silver-haired little Lolita's clothes by the back collar and dragged them out.

——He was obsessed with it just now. This little guy who even dared to bite a phoenix should not have expected her to buy a pet with peace of mind from the beginning.
