Chapter 7 Dispute in Lihen Bookstore
Because it takes time to make a new robe, Mrs. Weasley agrees to let Irving and Ginny go to buy other items on the school list first, and then meet up at the Bliss Bookstore together.
Of course, it's mainly Ai Wen who is buying.
Ginny has a lot to inherit from his brother, Percy became a prefect this year and got a dozen O.W.L.S. Mrs. Weasley bought him new school supplies, so there's a lot eliminated.
"Ai Wen, thank you, this is the best Christmas present I've ever received!" Ginny thanked Ai Wen with a flushed face, as if looking at Harry.
"Don't be silly, that's just an excuse to get Mrs. Weasley to agree, I'll give you something else for Christmas." Thinking of what Ginny might encounter this year, Irving continued, "I think a red A diary with a cover is a good choice."
"Well, that's not a bad idea. I can send you a black one back then."
"That's exactly what I need!" Ivan added in his heart, it would be even more perfect if there was an autograph by Mr. Tom Riddle on it.
The two walked on the winding streets paved with cobblestones, and the shops along the street rang from time to time to sell.
However, after browsing several magic shops and probably knowing the price of the magic world, Ai Wen's heart gradually became a little cold. Compared to the things he wanted to buy, the gold Galleons in his pockets were not enough.
In fact, for a freshman at Hogwarts, Ivan's gold Galleons are definitely a huge sum of money, but he doesn't satisfy the items on the school list, and he wants to buy too many things.
"Looks like I'm trying to make money!"
Although Ai Wen can ask his parents for some more money, it is not long-term. They will not give a child too much money, especially many things that Ai Wen wants to buy, which is not what a student should have.
He had a tentative idea in mind about how to make money, but it would not be realized until Hogwarts.
Next, under the leadership of Ginny, Ivan bought the tin crucible needed on the school list, a good-quality balance for measuring medicines, and a foldable brass telescope. At the pharmacy, the two bought standard medicines, which could be used in the first-year potions class. In addition, there are quills, ink, and parchment for recording.
Passing by a magical creature shop, neither of them entered.
Ai Wen thought about it, he is not going to buy pets at the moment, because his mother is allergic to birds, other than owls, other pets are not helpful to the wizard at all, and it is too troublesome to take care of them in turn.
Still, he collected a mail-order list of nearly every store on Diagon Alley. Additional materials may need to be purchased from here when preparing for upper division courses.
Ai Wen knew very well how many troubles he would encounter in the next few years. He couldn't study slowly according to the textbook, especially since he was still a grade lower than the Savior.
When Harry's trio was running around the world in seventh grade, he still had to stay obediently in the school and be tortured by Death Eaters. It was a very scary thing to think about.
Along the way, Ivan and Ginny chatted very happily, and the two soon became good friends.
At the Bouncy Magic Joke Shop, they run into Fred, George, and Lee Jordan, who are shopping in bulk for "Dr. Filippo's Auto-ignition, Water-Blowing Magic Fireworks."
In a thrift store full of tattered wands, rickety copper scales, and old medicine-stained cloaks, they found Percy engrossed in reading a very dry book, How Prefects Gain Power. .
The two didn't bother Percy, passing by the Florin's cold drink shop, Irving bought two large chocolate lemon ice creams for himself and Ginny, and when they wandered into a dark alley, they saw Harry, Luo En and Hermione ran out of Knockturn Alley with pale faces.
Behind them, Hagrid, the burly gamekeeper, was yelling at the three of them, "Wandering around in Knockturn Alley, don't you know it's not a good place, Harry, don't let anyone see you there there!"
"You went to Knockturn Alley, and Mom won't let us go there." Ginny leaned over with a worried look on her face.
"Go away, Ginny!" Ron waved his hand impatiently.
"Wait, Ron!" Harry glanced at Ivan and explained hesitantly, "We saw Draco Malfoy, he and his dad went to the Borgin Bocks store, which is a shop that sells A shop for black magic items."
"Harry!" Ron raised his voice, obviously he didn't want his little sister to know these things.
"Oh, what did you find?" Ignoring Ron's overreaction, Ai Wen asked curiously.
"Nothing, we looked at the outside window for a long time until they left and didn't see them buying anything!" Hermione turned to look at Hagrid, "Hagrid, we're following Malfoy, you What are you doing at Knockturn Alley?"
"I'm looking for a medicine to repel the carnivorous slugs, they're almost ruining the school's cabbage!" Hagrid looked at Ai Wen and said gruffly, "You should be the Ai Harry told me. Vin Mason, thank you for helping him get out of that house, those nasty Muggles, if I knew..."
Before Hagrid could finish speaking, he saw Mrs. Weasley hurried over with the newly made robe, and behind her were Mr. Weasley, and the parents of Ivan and Hermione.
Immediately after, she knew that Harry and the others had gone to Knockturn Alley.
"Knockturn Alley! Thanks for finding him, Hagrid!"
"Well, mine's gone." Hagrid was a little embarrassed, his hand was tightly clasped by Mrs. Weasley, "Boys, see you at Hogwarts!"
After Hagrid disappeared from the street, Mrs. Weasley turned around and scolded the three of them severely. On the contrary, Mr. Weasley was very interested in what Harry said.
"Obviously he's selling stuff, and he's scared!" said Mr. Weasley solemnly and contentedly. "Oh, I really want to get evidence of Lucius Malfoy."
"Be careful, Arthur!" Mrs. Weasley admonished him. "That family is not easy to mess with. Don't bite the bones you can't chew."
"You don't think I can beat Malfoy?" said Mr. Weasley indignantly, but his attention was quickly drawn to the crowd outside the Bright Scar.
Most of them were witches of Mrs. Weasley's age. Everyone was crowded at the door, trying to get in. Through the gap in the crowd, everyone saw Gilderoy Lockhart, wearing a blue wizard's robe, sitting in the shop. Book signing in the middle.
All around him were large photographs of himself, faces all winking at the crowd, flashing dazzlingly white teeth.
Although the other party is a magical idiot, Ivan has to admit that Lockhart is a successful writer, if he doesn't steal other people's experiences.
Needless to say what happened next, Harry was found by Lockhart unsurprisingly, and then he was pulled in to take pictures together. Lockhart announced that he would teach at Hogwarts. When everyone came back to their senses, they found that Mr. Weasley and Lucius Malfoy were fighting, and Lockhart, who was standing on the side, was extremely excited, and then the two were separated by the sudden appearance of Hagrid.
"Little girl, take your book, it's the best thing your dad can give you!"
Lucius Malfoy broke free from Hagrid's arm, waved to Draco, and rushed out of the store.
"You should ignore him, Arthur." Hagrid reached out and smoothed Mr. Weasley's robes, almost lifting him up. "This guy is bad, the whole family is, everyone knows it. Mal The words of the Fu family are not worth listening to at all. The blood on their bodies is bad, that's how it is."
Everyone's attention was focused on Mr. Weasley, and Irving had been observing the tattered "Transformation Guide for Beginners" in Ginny's hand. If nothing else, it should be mixed with a A black diary.
After Lucius Malfoy left, the clerk of Lizhan Bookstore seemed to want to stop them, but after seeing Hagrid's extraordinary figure and Aiwen's next very impressive order, he soon Put the fight in the back of your mind.
"Ai Wen, what are you doing, do you want to empty the Lihen Bookstore?" Ron watched in surprise as Ai Wen quickly swiped across the book list in his hand, including all the books in Lihen Bookstore, the total amount Probably more than 8,000 copies.
"How is it possible, I don't have that kind of money, I'm choosing what I need." Of course, Aiwen couldn't buy all of these books at once. He was going to pick out the books that were currently available, and then slowly purchase.
"Oh, that's a lot!"
"It's never a bad thing to learn more, Ron!"
"Dude, you sound like Hermione." Ron leaned up and saw Ivan selected a copy of "Advanced Potions Making" by Professor Libash Balach, "Ah, I am in Bill. I read this book there, it is something that is only needed in the N.E.W.T advanced wizard rank exam."
"I think Ai Wen is right, there is no harm in previewing it in advance!" Hermione looked at Ai Wen's book list, and happily added a few magic books that would only be used in senior grades. Suggested, "Ai Wen, I think we should check the book list for a while, so as to avoid repetition."
"Of course, Hermione!" Ivan agreed happily.
"Harry, they're both crazy!"
"You're right, Ron!" Harry hesitated and picked up a copy of Professor Wendyk's Curse and the Anti-Curse, which he wanted to buy last year, but Hagrid didn't let him buy it." However, it is really necessary to learn a little more, especially when dealing with Malfoy, isn't it?"
