Chapter 6 You Might Really Be a Squib
no words all night
The next morning, Qin Weijie woke up early, looked at the entire room, decorated in Rococo style, the bed could only be two hundred square meters in size, the whole room was outrageously luxurious.
Qin Weijie curled his lips and said with emotion: "The life of the rich is plain and boring..."
Marquis Fuli did not come to see Qin Weijie last night. The housekeeper named Carter came once at around nine o'clock in the evening.
Inform Qin Weijie that he will go to Diagon Alley today to buy the items needed for school.
Qin Weijie also asked about the Marquis of Foley, and Mrs. Carter only said: "Mr. Marquis has returned to Foley Castle in Southampton. This manor in London is really too simple, and Mr. Marquis has never been used to living in it."
Qin Weijie: "..." Give you a look, you can experience it yourself.
Qin Weijie really didn't agree with Mrs. Carter's words. He was afraid that if he continued to pretend like this, he would be beaten to death...
Originally, Qin Weijie began to worry about the "unknownness" in himself because he read the letter left by his master.
According to Qin Weijie's understanding, and based on what Dumbledore said, the direct blood relatives of the Welfare family have had accidents one after another over the years, so let's analyze them.
Qin Weijie speculated that the so-called "unknown" should be a curse of black magic, and this curse should be related to the mysterious death of the direct blood relatives of the Fuli family.
This was probably a curse directed at the offspring of the Foley family.
Last night, Qin Weijie wanted to ask about the welfare family, but before he could ask, Mrs. Carter forced Qin Weijie to go to bed on the grounds that the ten-year-old child needed to go to bed earlier.
"Mr. Little Foley, we are about to go."
As soon as Qin Weijie got dressed, Mrs. Carter called at the door in standard Chinese.
"Come in, I've already changed." Qin Weijie said, putting on the small ice blue suit that Mrs. Carter had prepared for him last night.
As soon as Mrs. Carter entered the door, she stepped forward to help Qin Weijie tidy up his clothes.
Since he was a child, he always dressed himself, and being served by Mrs. Carter like this, Qin Weijie was really not used to it, so he waved his hand to indicate that he should tidy up.
"By the way, please don't call me Mr. Fuli, I haven't agreed to take my mother's surname yet."
Mrs. Carter smiled: "This is what Mr. Marquis ordered. From now on, Vijay Foley will be your name, at least in the UK, or the whole world. After all, the UK is the center of the world.
Of course, if you return to Huaxia, you can continue to use your name. "
"What the hell are you the center of the world? You have only been the center for a few years? Huaxia has been the center for thousands of years..." Qin Weijie scoffed at Mrs. Carter's inexplicable confidence.
Mrs. Carter was not angry when she saw this, and continued to smile: "Anyway, an oriental name is somewhat troublesome in Europe. You can save a lot of trouble by using this name."
As soon as he heard the word trouble, Qin Weijie stopped arguing with Mrs. Carter, he was the most afraid of trouble.
Anyway, following his father's surname and following his mother's surname are the same in Qin Weijie's view. After all, he also experienced a prosperous culture in his previous life, and those traditional pedantic ideas have no constraints on him.
After eating an unpretentious breakfast, Qin Weijie followed Mrs. Carter and left the manor.
Qin Weijie didn't know until this time that the direction he came in with Lao Dengtou yesterday was only the back door of the manor. Today, he followed Mrs. Carter to the front door, and it took him half an hour to leave the manor. This mother still took a carriage.
Unpretentious, unpretentious, and boring...
The carriage drove all the way to Diagon Alley, and Qin Weijie had nothing to do to tease Ergou.
"By the way, Mrs. Carter, your Chinese sounds very standard." Qin Weijie chatted intermittently
"I went to Huaxia more than ten years ago,
I lived there for a while and learned some Chinese at that time.”
"But your Chinese is obviously very fluent, and it's impossible to be so proficient just by staying here for a while."
"This..." Mrs. Carter hesitated, but finally told Qin Weijie, "I served the second miss, your mother, thirteen years ago. During that time, the second miss was learning Chinese crazily. She was very familiar with everything in Huaxia. Fascinated, she went to China with that person afterwards..."
"Oh, I see, it turned out that I was abducted by my old man..."
"Mr. Foley, out of good intentions, I would like to remind you not to mention your father in front of Mr. Marquis." Mrs. Carter looked serious
"Why..." Qin Weijie wanted to ask again, but stopped, "Understand, understand, don't mention it, I will never mention it..."
Speaking of Qin Weijie, a picture appeared in Qin Weijie's mind. The farmer's uncle worked hard to grow a good cabbage, but the pig was crushed. The farmer's furious expression and the old welfare's appearance seemed to be much more vivid.
Two hours later, the carriage finally arrived in front of the Leaky Cauldron on Charing Cross Road.
When Qin Weijie and Mrs. Carter came to the door of the Leaky Cauldron, the name and pattern of the Leaky Cauldron appeared on the old sign in front of the Leaky Cauldron.
It was only yesterday that Qin Weijie learned about the sign of the Leaky Cauldron from Dumbledore, which only appeared when wizards passed by.
And when the sign shows the name and pattern of the Leaky Cauldron, you can enter the inside of the bar. Therefore, only wizards can enter here, and Muggles can't even see that there is a bar here.
Looking at the English name of the Leaky Cauldron, Qin Weijie couldn't help laughing. The literal translation should be "Leaky Cauldron".
Leaky Cauldron Bar, just thinking about it is tacky.
Looking at the pattern of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, a three-legged container with a leaky bottom looks a lot like a kind of ancient Chinese tripod-style container, so it should be the so-called 'cauldron'. A large pot used for cooking in ancient China.
If you are not familiar with it, you can only, there are poems as evidence: boiled beans burn Osmunda, beans weep in the cauldron.
Think about it, we still have culture in China, and a broken cauldron can translate such literature and art for you. We have to accept this point, China Nb, and do not accept rebuttals.
Seeing Qin Weijie staring at the sign of the Leaky Cauldron for a long time, Mrs. Carter did not urge him, but began to tell Qin Weijie the history of the Leaky Cauldron.
However, Qin Weijie wasn't interested in those blah blah things at all. After listening for a long time, he only remembered that the Leaky Cauldron Bar was founded in 1500, and then, the Welfare Family seemed to have a part of the shares, and Qin Weijie didn't understand the specifics.
Entering the bar, the owner of the bar, a somewhat scruffy and slightly hunchbacked young guy, hurried forward to greet him flatteringly.
"Tom, I'm not here today to collect interest, you go and do your work. Today I'm going to take Mr. Little Foley to buy the things he needs for school." Carter looked proud
"Mr. Little Foley!?" Tom looked at Qin Weijie in surprise, and at this time the other people in the bar also focused on Qin Weijie's face.
In the past few years, the incident of the Foley family has become a well-known anecdote in the wizarding world. Almost everyone believes that the Foley family has been cursed by black magic.
But they don't pay attention to who is targeting the welfare family. They just want to know what will happen to the huge wealth accumulated by the welfare family for generations if there is no direct blood relative.
It has to be said that the soul of gossip is an indelible mark on human beings, even wizards are not immune.
Under everyone's strange eyes, Carter led Qin Weijie around the bar and entered a courtyard surrounded by walls. Qin Weijie had seen this place in the movie, and this was the entrance to Diagon Alley.
And just after Qin Weijie and Mrs. Carter left, a lively discussion quickly started in the bar
"When do you think this child will die?"
"I guess he won't live to graduate from Hogwarts."
"Haha, I guess he won't live to enroll at Hogwarts..."
...
"Where shall we go first?" Qin Weijie asked
"Let's go to the Mojin robe store first, you need to order a school uniform."
In the following two or three hours, Qin Weijie passively turned on the shopping mode. Mrs. Carter, like a robot that would not get tired, dragged Qin Weijie to the Mojin Robe Store, Lihen Bookstore, Wizard Barbershop, Magic Spice Shop, Magic Bag Shop, Partridge's Cauldron Shop, and Diagon Alley Stationery Shop.
Qin Weijie's energy was basically exhausted, and Mrs. Carter was still alive and well.
"Could it be that thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger? Women are too scary..." Qin Weijie complained, suspected of driving the scene.
"Mrs. Carter, you don't mind taking a break, if you continue walking like this, I'm afraid I'm going to die..."
"Oh, I'm really sorry, the main thing is that in addition to buying the things you need to go to school, you also need to order some supplies in the manor." Mrs. Carter apologized
"Well then, you are still short of a wand, you can go to Ollivander's wand shop to pick it out by yourself, and take a rest by the way. I will find you later."
"ok!"
When it was finally time to pick out the wand, Qin Weijie also began to secretly get excited.
"Wait a minute, don't you think you're going to give me some money?" Qin Weijie shouted at Mrs. Carter.
"The Foleys never got paid in Diagon Alley."
Said Mrs. Carter walked away.
Only then did Qin Weijie realize that it seemed to be the case. Mrs. Carter had not paid even 1 nat since entering Diagon Alley.
Every time they enter a shop, the owner of the shop seems to respect them. For example, in the Mojin robe shop, the owner, Lao Mojin, used the most expensive materials in the shop to make a school uniform for Qin Weijie, and also gave him a bunch of brooches .
In the Lihen Bookstore, the owner had prepared a full set of textbooks for Qin Weijie early on, and also included many other books on basic magic courses.
...
What kind of existence is the Foley family in the magical world?
This question has been lingering in Qin Weijie's mind.
Pushing open the door of Ollivander's wand shop, there are countless shelves filled with wands on each shelf.
"Aha, I've been wondering when exactly will you come over."
Suddenly, a clear and crisp sound sounded from the depths of the shelf, and Qin Weijie was startled by the bluffing sound before he was seen.
"Damn it!" At this moment, only a national curse can soothe Qin Weijie's young and immature heart.
"The wood and core of the wand are both spiritual. The combination of different woods and cores will produce wands with different personalities, and because the wands have different personalities, they have different requirements for their masters." Austrian Levande searched the shelves while talking on his own, without asking Qin Weijie's needs at all.
"Ah~ come on, try this, apple wood, the core is unicorn tail hair, twelve and a half inches, perfect, stable, reliable. The wand told me that he needed a man with lofty ideals and a heart Good master, I think the master he is waiting for must be you!"
Speaking of which, Ollivander handed a brown-red wand to Qin Weijie.
When the wand was in hand, there was no abnormal phenomenon, as if a wooden stick was held in the hand.
Qin Weijie swung his wand vigorously a few times, but there was no response from the wand. I could stick a stick on the mountain more useful than you.
"Hehe, he is indeed very stable, very stable..." Qin Weijie said helplessly
Ollivander frowned, and drew another wand
"That must be this one, yew, dragon's nerve, eleven inches, strong and dangerous, and he wishes his master to be a powerful wizard with ambition."
As a result, it was more stable than the previous one.
"Acacia wood, phoenix tail feathers, twelve inches..."
useless
"Black walnut, tail hair of thestrals..."
Super stable say~
"Hawthorn wood, the horse's mane..."
It didn't help at all.
...
An hour later, Qin Weijie was lazily leaning on the sofa, and Ollivander was busy carrying the magic wand. There was already a pile of magic wands as tall as a person in front of Qin Weijie, and a pile on the counter.
"Oh, God, you're not a squib..." Ollivander leaned against the counter panting, looking at Qin Weijie in disbelief.
Qin Weijie shrugged: "Don't ask me, I don't know, I don't know, I don't understand..."
Qin Weijie was also drunk. In his previous life, he had read several fan works of the Harry Potter series, although he hadn't finished all of them.
But coincidentally, Ollivander has to be exhausted to death every time it is time to choose a wand. Thinking about Ollivander is also quite miserable. The wand maker who can’t find a wand every day, no wonder he is nicknamed the magic wand mentally handicapped.
"Okay, let's choose a wand for you in a different way."
Ollivander is obviously going to start his big move.
For the next 20 minutes, Qin Weijie felt as if someone had checked his household registration.
Ollivander conducted an in-depth interview with him, including his birthday, experience, when he wets the bed, when he doesn’t wet the bed, when he walks, when he eats, whether he likes little girls or boys, etc. wait……
"The last few questions, do you think you are an ambitious person?"
"No, I don't have any ambitions, as long as I can live my life."
"Are you a person with lofty ideals?"
"Will the world prosper, is there peace in the world?"
"This ideal is a bit big." Ollivander's face was serious, and he couldn't hear Qin Weijie's teasing at all. "Then are you willing to dedicate everything to the ideal?"
"Ugh, you're still really stubborn! I'd rather have a hammer, just think about it, if you don't nuclearize this country, it's probably impossible to have peace until the next century..."
"The last question, can you try to use your own magic? Try it without using a wand." Ollivander encouraged.
"I haven't tried it, why don't I try it now?"
Speaking of this, Qin Weijie looked at a fish tank not far away. Qin Weijie stared at the fish tank, trying to control the water to fly out in his mind.
However, he still underestimated the difficulty of magic, and the water in the bathtub remained motionless.
Seeing this, Ollivander looked helpless, and tentatively said: "You may really be a squib..."
As soon as the word "Squib" was spoken, Ollivander's face changed instantly.
"My God, my God, stop! Don't you see the fish in the tank is dead? What the hell did you do? Cook fish soup?"
