days at Hogwarts

Chapter 9: Complete the Diagon Alley parade mission and obtain novice equipment: Magic Wand x1

The two took out the pounds prepared by their parents and exchanged them for wizard currency. The amount was enough Galleons for the first grade according to Professor McGonagall.Wrapped in two small cloth bags, carried in the hands of Loren and Hermione respectively.

The detailed exchange rate between the two makes Loren feel dizzy. For the base system of odd and prime numbers that the goblin said, Loren can't wait to blow his head with the abacus.

The two of them followed Professor McGonagall in a dazed state to Madam Malkin's robe store and bought their robes, and walked for a while to buy their stationery.Finally, they came to Lihen Bookstore, which Hermione had been thinking about so much.

Professor McGonagall went to pack two first-grade books, and Loren and Hermione looked around.

The books inside are irregular in shape, the big ones are like paving the floor, and the small ones are only the size of postage stamps.It was hard for Loren to imagine how it was printed in batches, and some books were marked with dangers to prevent accidental touch.

Loren looked through and selected some. The follow-up series of "Standard Spells", "Curse and Anti-Curse", "Wandering with Werewolves", "Alchemy: From Beginner to Master", he will no longer choose. Read them all.

Hermione chose a large number of books that can help her understand the wizarding world and Hogwarts, such as "Important Magical Events in the Twentieth Century", "Modern History of Magic", "The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic", "Hogwarts: A School History", etc. .

Loren felt that just reading the name of this kind of book would make hair fall out, and then looked at Hermione's thick curly hair, and dared not speak too loudly.

Hermione noticed something wrong with Loren's eyes, and looked at the books Loren had chosen. She wrinkled her face and persuaded, "We should understand the magical world first, so that we can adapt and integrate better. I think these books are very good." A great preschool book, especially for a Muggle family like ours."

Seeing that Loren was unmoved, he added: "The book you chose doesn't seem to be suitable for new students. We should learn more before studying further..."

Loren didn't have time to reply, he had a headache seeing Hermione chattering, but Hermione was indeed concerned.

Loren decided to be more tactful: "We choose different books, and you can lend them to me after you finish reading, so that we can save some and buy more books."

Hermione was persuaded: "Then let's write and communicate."

"Ok!"

The atmosphere became harmonious, and the two were eager to try the book marked with danger, but after seeing a guest being chased and bitten by a book, they both stopped.

Buy the cauldron and walk along the street.

When I passed by the pharmacy, I saw expensive materials inside, including horns made of one-horned bison horns that cost 21 Galleons, and acromantia venom for 100 Galleons.

Loren felt that since Hogwarts had a good relationship with Hagrid, there would be no shortage of money at all.

Going further, I finally came to the equipment store in Novice Village of the Magic World——Ollivander's Wand Shop.

It was a shabby little shop, and the gold lettering on the door had come off.Walking in, it was a small shop with benches and thousands of cartons almost reaching the ceiling.

Ollivander was an old man with silver eyes, like the moon.Loren saw him walking slowly, greeted Professor McGonagall, and then looked at himself and Hermione.

The old man circled around Loren and Hermione a few times, and finally set his sights on Hermione.

"Oh, the distinctive quality, almost overflowing."

"Beyond ordinary people's foresight, sensitivity, entanglement and a little bit of madness."

"Come here, little girl, your wand can't wait."

There was a hint of fear in Hermione's eyes, but she still followed Ollivander's instructions and took a step towards the stacked boxes.

As she stepped forward, a small box began to tremble uncontrollably.Ollivander held out his hand, and the carton flew straight into his hand.

Ollivander opened the box and pulled out a wand: "Oh, ten and three-quarter inches, vine wood to match the dragon's nerves."

"Dragon's nerves will allow you to learn magic more quickly. Grapevine wood was used by the Celts to represent the tenth tree moon. The owner of this material wand always has lofty goals and will also achieve extraordinary results, but It's going to be a little bumpy. The wand already reacts strongly when you first come in, so we can skip some steps."

Hermione took the wand, and the top of the wand emitted a warm and soft light, and the little witch also showed a bright smile.

"I knew it was like this. Remember that the wand chooses the wizard, not the wizard chooses the wand." Ollivander also seemed satisfied.

When it was Loren's turn, Ollivander took out a long tape measure with a silver scale from his pocket, asked Loren's preferred hand, and began to measure.

From shoulders to fingertips, wrists to elbows, shoulders to the floor, knees to armpits, and even head circumference.Introduce while measuring:

"Ollivander has been making wands since 380 BC. After generations of hard work, we have finally identified three super-powerful magical substances, unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon nerves. They are stable and The unique nature is fundamentally different from those Yeluzi wands out there."

Saying that, Ollivander let go of his hands, but the tape measure was still measuring on Loren.After Ollivander brought over a pile of long cardboard boxes, the tape measure automatically fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.

Hermione looked at the tape measure with bright eyes.

"Try this maple, unicorn hair, seven inches long." Ollivander offered a wand.

Loren took the wand, and Ollivander snatched it back just before he raised it.

A similar situation was repeated twice. Loren squinted her eyes. Damn it, how can a hot woman be in place in one step? I have to suffer like this.

Professor McGonagall was waiting patiently, while Hermione was a little worried. Although the little friend she just met had a bad personality, she still hoped that the two of them could enter Hogwarts together.

Finally Ollivander turned his back and produced another black wand.

"Oh, applewood, phoenix tail feathers, exactly ten inches."

Loren held the wand with a feeling of solidity in his heart. He waved the wand, and a soft wind blew through the entire store.

Both of them showed satisfied smiles, and Ollivander went on to introduce: "Apple wood is suitable for wizards with lofty ideals. They are always good at duels, and most of them are very long-lived. Phoenix tail feathers are very picky. They always have personality, but when they meet To a recognized master will unleash extraordinary potential."

Each wand cost 7 Galleons. After paying the money, they went shopping again. Loren bought an owl-eyed owl to deliver letters. It looked a bit silly, but Loren thought it was very cute.

On the way back, Professor McGonagall repeatedly stopped the two from waving their wands.And warned them that magic is a very dangerous thing, except for some spells marked safe, others should not be easily cast at home.Someone once misread a spell and summoned a bison to stand on his chest.After school they will learn how to cast spells correctly.

After the two listened, it is not certain how much they listened to.

"Remember to write to me!" Hermione waved and bounced to her parents, eager to share what she had seen today.

Loren once again experienced the feeling of being squeezed into a rubber tube and squeezed out.After getting the ticket, saying goodbye to Professor McGonagall again, and watching her disappear with a snap, Loren felt that the Hogwarts professorship was not so easy.

When he got home, he remembered that he forgot to ask Professor McGonagall, the reason why other little wizards couldn't detect the landing point of apparition, but he could see it, what was that extraordinary talent.

But Loren was not too entangled, anyway, the days to come are still long, and magic is more surprising than he thought.
