The Wizarding Journey of Hogwarts

Chapter 277 Dating

After finishing this overly sumptuous lunch, Hermione leaned into Bell's arms and took a rest for a while before finally feeling less stressed.

The two returned to the street, ready to continue their afternoon play.

By the way, after eating and drinking, little Fina ran back into Bell's pocket and completely forgot about the task that Shanna gave her.

When passing by the Wenrenju quill shop next to the Fengya wizard clothing store, Bell asked Hermione:

"Do you want to go in and buy a shorthand quill?"

"why?"

Hermione looked at Bell in bewilderment.

In the first grade, because she often studied together in the library, under the influence of Bell, the clever Hermione was not led astray by other little wizards.

Not long after entering school, she wrote a letter to her father and asked him to buy a pen and send it to her.

Therefore, Hermione was somewhat confused about Bell's suggestion to buy a quill.

Bell obviously saw his girlfriend's doubts, and he explained with a smile:
"I'm talking about the shorthand quill, a magic quill that can automatically record what the professor said. A good shorthand quill can save a lot of effort for you."

"But why have I never seen you use it?"

Hermione is somewhat repulsed by the shorthand quill.She believes that only by writing down the key points of what the professor said with her own hands can she deepen her understanding and memory.

"Because I know Legilimency. I can directly store everything the professor said in my mind verbatim. So I don't need to use a shorthand quill."

"Then I also want to learn Legilimency. Can I learn it now?"

Hermione has long been envious of Belle's Legilimency.

"It's okay. But it's not an easy task to cultivate Legilimency to the point where you can retrieve your own memories at any time."

"That's why I have to give myself more encouragement, don't I?"

"Okay then, after you have fully mastered the Patronus Charm, I will start teaching you Legilimency."

As soon as Bell mentioned the Patronus Charm, Hermione felt a little lost.

Up to now, the time she spent learning the Patronus Charm has already exceeded the time Shanna spent in the beginning.But she still couldn't ensure that she would successfully summon the Patronus every time.There is only about a 5% success rate.

Bell reached out and rubbed his girlfriend's hair.

In fact, he could use some means, such as catching a dementor, or using Boggart's transformation, to help Hermione master the Patronus Charm faster.But Bell didn't do that.

There is no doubt that the study and research of magic is difficult and boring.Not every kind of spell, like learning the Patronus Charm, can have a shortcut.

Therefore, Bell didn't want Hermione to get into the habit of taking shortcuts.In-depth understanding of the Patronus Charm, familiarity with the fusion of emotions and magic, and lay a solid foundation.This will be of great help to Hermione's future development.

While chatting, Bell and Hermione were almost at the end of the street.

At the end of the street, there is a magnificent magic item shop.Hermione was surprised to find that the name of this store was actually called 'Menathil Magic Items Store'?
Facing Hermione's curious gaze, Bell wanted to cover his face.

He just said don't want to use this name, it's too ostentatious.

But my father said something, so as to reflect the strength of the family, and then ignored his objection and resolutely used this name.

"Yes, this store is opened by my family."

Bell confirmed Hermione's guess.

The store was originally 'Devis and Bance's Store', which also dealt in magic items.However, after the sudden emergence of Bell's family and the sale of all kinds of sophisticated magic props, the store's business conditions have been declining.

After persisting for several years with the support of regular customers, finally, it announced the closure of the store not long ago.

After learning that De Weiss and Bans planned to sell the shop, William paid 2% higher than the market price to take down the shop under the hated and delighted eyes of the two original owners.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go in and have a look!"

Hermione burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm in an instant, and pulled Bell to run.

"Welcome, young master!"

As soon as they entered the store, a house elf saluted the two of them.

This house elf is named Toby. He knew that his young master would come to Hogsmeade Village today, so he got up early today and cleaned every corner of the shop carefully, from the inside to the outside. Just to welcome his young master.

"Hello, Toby. Are you alone?"

Looking around the store, Bell asked curiously.

"Yes, Mr. Jules is in a hurry and has gone out."

Jules, another clerk at the store, was a wizard.

In fact, Jules was fooled by Toby with an excuse.And the reason why Toby did that was to have a few more words with his young master.

By the way, due to the serious shortage of manpower, William has agreed to distribute the house elves to work in various industries of the family under Bell's suggestion.

Noticing the curiosity that was about to overflow from Hermione's eyes, Bell took Hermione's hand and introduced her to various magic props in the shop.

And Toby walked to the door silently, and hung up a sign that closed business.He didn't allow anyone to disturb his young master's interest.

As for turnover?
That is something Lord William needs to worry about.As a humble house elf, Toby is not qualified to consider such high-end things.

"This is a frost orb. After being injected with magic power and activated, it will disperse into dozens of ice cones to attack the enemy. Use it for self-defense."

With that said, Bell stuffed an ice blue bead into Hermione's hand.

It's all my own stuff, no money.

"This is the Flame Orb. Do you know about the grenade? This is similar to the grenade, but the advantage is that it can be activated at any time, and it is more powerful."

Saying that, Bell stuffed another fiery red bead into Hermione's hand.

"This is Hellfire Stone, a one-time magic puppet that can transform into a magic stone statue burning with flames when activated.

This is the flame totem, which can continuously launch fireballs at the enemy, and at the same time can deploy a protective barrier.But the disadvantage is that it cannot be moved freely.

This is a mirror image...

This is a cold mind...

This is an arcane explosion...

This is a thunderbolt pistol, which is transformed from a Muggle pistol and can fire thunderbolts.It is said that it is very popular with onmyojis in Japan.

This is the resurrection of the dead.Of course, it can't resurrect the dead, it can only manipulate corpses. "

"Manipulating dead bodies? Isn't that very evil?"

Hermione exclaimed.

"What you want is evil. How can you scare people if you are not evil? In fact, those manipulated corpses have low combat effectiveness and are not even qualified to be cannon fodder, so they all rely on their appearance to scare people."

Bell pouted contemptuously.

This thing was invented by wizards recruited by the family.Bell himself would not invent such a useless thing for birds.

"Let's play with this too."

With that said, Bell also stuffed the scroll with the resurrection spell on it into Hermione's arms.

Hermione shrank back in fright.She didn't want this thing at all, let alone play with it.Such a perverted person would play with this kind of thing!

"And this...this...this...take them all too."

Since he happened to come to his own store, of course Bell had to give his girlfriend a full set of armor.

"Enough, Bell, enough, don't take any more."

Holding a large pile of magic props in her arms with both hands, Hermione dared not move.

She was afraid that if she accidentally dropped a dangerous magic item, it would be activated.That would be a disaster.

Hermione finally knew why the Bell family was so rich.It turns out that his family sells arms!

With these 'munitions' in her arms, Hermione felt that it was enough for a small war.

"Hermione, these are our own specialties, they don't cost money, so you don't need to think too much. Moreover, these are different from the clothes before. These are props used to save your life, so you must take more to buy them." OK."

In order not to make Hermione refuse like before, Bell deliberately put on a serious expression.

"Toby, go get a space bag that has been cast with the No Trace Stretch Curse. It needs to be large, female-sized, and easy to carry."

Bell gave instructions to Toby who had been silently following behind the two of them.

"Yes, sir."

Toby happily agreed, and then quickly ran to find the space bag that echoed his young master's request.Toby felt very honored to be able to serve his young master.

Looking at Bell in front of her, Hermione was both moved and helpless.

Where are these magic props used to save lives, they are clearly used to kill, okay?
In the end, under Bell's insistence, Hermione still left the Menethil magic item shop with a small leather bag full of various dangerous "munitions".

Most of the magic props in it, Hermione didn't know what they were for and how they should be used.

It seems that after going back, she will have one more problem to be solved urgently.
