Chapter 1109 Good Luck or Bad Luck?
The effect of the Mortra rat juice was really good, and the wound on Pansy's back shoulder was almost healed in a short time.
So, without the hindrance of the pain, and unable to rush back to Hogwarts immediately, Miss Parkinson seemed to be able to lie on the bed and take a little sleep.
However, since he has been busy since morning, it stands to reason that he should be extremely sleepy. When she was waiting for Yi Luli to come back, she was still lying on the bed and turned around for a while.
But now lying in bed, Pan Xi only felt that he did not feel sleepy at all. After closing his eyes, his mind was full of whether he could go back to school in time...
Yes, as long as she can get back to school in time, she doesn't even have to go back to the dormitory, she can find any excuse to get up early and calmly muddle through.
However, it would be too suspicious if you didn't go to the auditorium to eat at breakfast time.
"Otherwise, don't worry about the broken wand, go back and talk about it first?"
The thought only lingered in Pansy's mind for a few seconds, but she quickly brushed it aside.
Let's not talk about how to go to class when there is no wand - these are trivial matters, and the main problem lies with the three Aurors. If they found out about her in the future and found that she had never been to Ollivander, then it would be difficult to argue.
Of course, if Ollivander's wand shop was actually opening very late, she would have had no choice.
In this way, Pansy tossed and turned on the bed, staying up until dawn.
"Wow--"
When Pan Xi stared at a pair of panda eyes and saw the first trace of whiteness in the sky through the window, she immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
In fact, she had only taken off her outer robe when she lay down last night, and now she didn't even need to waste time getting dressed again.
"Iluli...Iluli, wake up!"
Compared to Miss Parkinson, who was restless from the beginning to the end, the elf-hybrid Iluli didn't sleep well, but at least she fell asleep for a while.
But when Pan Xi went over and pushed her shoulders a few times, she opened her eyes with a little vigilance, and then hurriedly sat up.
"Good morning, Miss Parkinson..." Iluli turned to look at Pansy, and then said with a little worry,
"Oh, you don't look very well, did you not rest all night?"
As soon as she saw Pansy, she remembered what happened last night.
Especially at the end, when she offered to accompany Pansy to the wand shop, she was still surprised when she recalled it.
Yes, Pansy did agree, but that wasn't the point.
The point is that Yi Luli almost never expected that she, who has always been abiding by the rules, would do two things in a short period of time regardless of her master's feelings.
As for the first time, it was when she decided to complete the ancient magic ritual.
Just as Iluli was sitting on the bed in a daze, Pansy suddenly spoke again.
"Well, it's true that I can't rest, I can't fall asleep... let's not talk about this, get up quickly!" Pan Xi urged softly while putting on a coat, "We should go."
To be honest, thinking about Mr. Ollivander, the owner of the wand shop, he is obviously very old. Although the elderly usually get up earlier, it is impossible to say exactly when he will open the door to welcome guests.
However, no matter whether he was early or late, Pansy planned to go there early and find an inconspicuous corner to wait. If necessary, she was also prepared to use the Auror invisibility cloak Maca lent her.
"Are you ready?"
Not long after, Pansy saw that Iluli was already dressed, so she immediately greeted her and walked to the door. In a blink of an eye, the two left the room one after another and hurried downstairs.
...
Diagon Alley early in the morning is actually not much different from that at night—it’s just a little bit brighter.
The cobbled streets meandered as usual, but there was hardly anyone there. Even if I saw a person occasionally, it was the strange owner who came out from the Knockturn Lane and was going to the Leaky Cauldron to have some breakfast before going to bed.
After all, their shop was only open at night, selling dubious merchandise that wouldn't be convenient to display even in Knockturn Alley during the day.
After Pansy and Iluli walked quickly through the shops with closed doors, it didn't take long before they came to Ollivander's wand shop.
It was similar to when Pansy came here to buy the first wand. The gold lettering above the door has peeled off more gold dust, and the words "Ollivander" also seem full of history.
It's just that Mr. Ollivander seems to have cleaned up the dusty window in recent years. It's a pity that this made the sample wand placed on the purple cushion look even more outdated.
"Stop standing here, let's go to the opposite alley and wait!" Pansy was stunned for a while, then Pan Xi gently pulled Iluli, who was also in a daze, "I should be able to see it from over there." to Ollivander's door."
While there was no one around, the two figures, one big and one small, quickly got into the alley full of sundries, and hid behind a pile of wooden crates—these messy things were obviously from the room next door. Thrift store.
After the two of them managed to hide their figures, the most boring waiting time began.
It didn't take long for Pansy to discover that just standing here and waiting could easily lead to wild thoughts. In order to divert her attention, she pondered for a while, then lowered her voice and asked:
"Iluli, are you going to buy a new wand in a while? I haven't thanked you enough for dealing with the Aurors last night, or... shall I give you a new wand as a gift?"
A thank-you gift worth seven Galleons, even for Pansy, it was not an amount that could be easily given away. Because no matter what, their Parkinson's family can no longer be called rich, and the pocket money her parents can give her is not much.
"Oh, no...how can this be done!" Iluli shook her head again and again, "It's too expensive, I can't accept it."
"Don't say that," Pansy said immediately, "Didn't I not give you money when you went to buy healing potions for me? The so-called friends, I think that's the thing, don't worry too much. And... ..."
Having said that, she paused for a while before seriously saying:
"And to be honest, I didn't know what to do at the time. You helped me through a crisis-you know, I can't let the Aurors capture me, that would make me one of us. The biggest stain on the Parkinson family!"
What Pan Xi said was not nonsense, because she really thought so in her heart.
With the dire status quo of the Parkinson family, if something goes wrong, they may not even be able to survive in the top social circle of the British magic world.
And when the time comes, she, the member who stepped on her family's last footprint, will undoubtedly become the sinner of the entire Parkinson family.
Because of this, Panxi now doesn't know whether he is deliberately befriending Iluli in order to complete the task, or if he really wants to express his gratitude to her.
Well, maybe it's a bit of both!
On the other hand, after hearing Pan Xi's sincere words, Yi Luli seemed to understand her feelings very well. It seemed that she knew a lot about the twists and turns in the pure-blood family.
"Ok……"
Pan Xi's words fell a bit, but Iluli finally nodded and said:
"I've never had a friend, so I don't know what it takes to be a real friend...but I guess it's what you say it is! Thank you, Parkinson Jr.... no, it's 'Thank you, Pan West'!"
As the two of them hid in the alley and chatted from time to time, under Pan Xi's seemingly intentional but occasionally sincere words, the time also gradually passed.
For a moment, Diagon Alley, which was still somewhat dim, was slowly lit up by the rising sun, dispelling the gloom left over from last night.
And when Pansy caught a glimpse of Ollivander's door being pushed open from the corner of her eye, her heart seemed to become as clear as the sky at this time.
"The door is open! Iluli, Ollivander's door is open..." She whispered happily, "It turns out that Ollivander's wand shop has opened so early. If I hadn't come to watch so early today, I would have do not know yet!"
"That would be great!"
When Yi Luli saw it, she couldn't help showing a little more joy on her face.
Obviously, if she could go back in time after staying with Pansy for a while, she naturally would not want to be punished unnecessarily.
And since Mr. Ollivander came out to open the door so early, maybe there is still time, isn't it?
"Let's go quickly!"
The two were talking, and they were about to walk out from behind the wooden crate. But at the moment when Pan Xi's half body had left the pile of boxes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a rather familiar figure passing by the street outside the alley.
Immediately afterwards, that person seemed to have noticed the alley full of sundries, and suddenly turned around and returned to the entrance of the alley, and then rushed in.
"You... um? Miss Parkinson?"
"Ah!" Pansy couldn't help feeling flustered when he saw it, "Mr. Martin? Why—"
Before she could finish her sentence, the other party blocked her mouth with her hand, and then pushed her to hide behind the crate just now.
"Be careful, don't talk! There are Aurors following me..."
Pansy was covered by his mouth and couldn't speak, and behind her, Iluli was a little bit at a loss because of this unexpected change.
For a while, the alley suddenly became quiet.
And in about two or three minutes, Pansy saw several figures appearing outside the alley through the cracks in the crates, including the headed Auror who knocked on their door last night.
Then, one of those people turned around and walked into Ollivander's gate.
