"Tom, did you hear what they said? Oh my God, if I get into Slytherin, I might drop out of school." Hermione heard this conversation, and after the two people walked away, she began to discuss school enthusiastically.
of college.
Tom shrugged his shoulders: "It's a bit of a generalization. Each of the four houses has its own advantages and disadvantages, but it is a fact that most dark wizards come from Slytherin."
"The school has four colleges? Which four? How did you know?"
Unknown knowledge can always arouse girls' interest.
"Hogwarts has four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin."
"The four major houses correspond to the four elements. Gryffindor represents fire, Ravenclaw represents wind, Hufflepuff represents rock, and Slytherin represents water. Gryffindor is actually French gryffin d'or, which means golden grey.
Fen is also the gryphon."
"Then Ravenclaw is the Raven's Claw?" Hermione was good at drawing inferences.
"Yes, it is a metaphor for their desire for knowledge."
"Each house has its own style and stereotypes. Gryffindor is the house of the brave, Hufflepuff loves food and life, Ravenclaw is extremely thirsty for knowledge, and Slytherin is a group of ambitious people.
Guys." Tom gave Hermione a brief introduction to the four colleges.
"By the way, there are four more maxims:
We come from the wilderness, we long for strength, we are full of ideals, we are brave and fearless, we are righteous and courageous, we never give up, we are Gryffindor!
We come from the forest, we have great love, we are loyal to nature, we are honest and loyal, we are tenacious and honest, we are not afraid of hardships, we are Hufflepuffs!
We come from the river, we are smart, we think calmly, we study deeply, we pursue the truth, we never give up, we are Ravenclaw!
We come from the quagmire, we are hungry for power, we are full of ambition, we are strong and calm, we are elegant and self-possessed, we never regret, we are Slytherins!”
Modified by the four mottos, every college in Hermione's eyes was put on a favorable filter.
"You know so much!"
"I asked Professor McGonagall a lot of questions when I met him last time. If you want to know more, you can borrow a book called "Hogwarts: A History of the School" from the Hogwarts library."
Hermione remembered the name of the book.
After buying all kinds of things, Hermione also went to Mr. Ollivander's to buy a wand, a 10-inch-long grapevine wand with a core made of the heart nerve of a fire dragon.
"Wands made of grapevine wood are quite rare. Their owners are almost all wizards who have noble pursuits and far-sightedness beyond ordinary people. The wand with the heart nerve of the fire dragon as the core is extremely powerful and can perform the most gorgeous magic, and
This wand also has a stronger learning ability." Tom introduced Hermione's wand eloquently, just like a military fan on the forum, he was familiar with various wand cores and the material properties of the wand body.
Obviously, these words tickled Hermione's itch, and her mood became very happy, and her eyes narrowed into a pair of crescent moons.
"Where is your wand? What is it made of?"
"Long-horned water snake horns and acacia wood are rare..."
The two discussed the knowledge of wands for a while, and then they came to a shop with a signboard of "Magical Zoo".
"I want to buy myself an animal, do you want to come together?" Tom saw this store and then remembered that he hadn't bought a pet yet.
"I won't go." Hermione bought too many books and spent all her budget. She no longer had the money to buy another pet like an owl. "The school should provide us with free owls. Besides,
, I have to lay a solid foundation in the first semester's homework. I may not have the energy to take care of a pet. I feel that the homework alone is enough to keep me busy..."
Mr. Granger cast an admiring glance at his daughter. His daughter was so smart and eager to learn, and she might even be able to go to medical school after graduating from magic school.
So Tom walked into the Magic Zoo alone. There was not much space inside, there were cages hanging everywhere, and the little creatures inside were making various noises. The store had a unique smell of animals.
A pair of purple toads with huge eyes were sitting by the door, devouring a dead fly. A large turtle with a gem-encrusted shell lay motionless near the window. Cats of various colors were noisy.
A raven, a black mouse with silky hair...
The whole store is full of life.
He approached the counter and said to the witch behind the counter: "Hello, I want to buy a pet, the kind that can be taken to Hogwarts."
The witch raised her head and glanced at Tom.
"Hogwarts allows toads, cats or an owl. Of course, other types of pets are not prohibited..."
"Is this golden gradient okay?" Tom's eyes were very sharp. He immediately saw a little tiger in the corner. At this time, it was curled up into a ball and sleeping with its eyes closed. From time to time, there were a few
Sparks shoot out from its nostrils, it's so cute.
"Sorry, that can't be done." The witch simply rejected Tom, "Hogwarts can't keep tigers."
"That's a shame."
"Child, I suggest you buy an owl. It can deliver letters and packages for you. Toads have become less popular in recent years, unless you are very interested in potions. As for cats, due to differences in individual personalities, sometimes
It’s very troublesome.”
Tom followed the good example and followed the clerk's sister to look at the owls. It turned out that each of these owls was more expensive than the other, and the ones in slightly better condition cost dozens of galleons. Like Harry's Hedwig, they were all white and unvaried.
The owl was even more expensive, and only a wealthy man like Hagrid, who used a ten-gallon unicorn tail hair as a bandage, could afford it.
Yes, Hagrid is actually a rich man. He has many treasures in his small house, such as a whole bunch of unicorn tail hairs, which cost 10 galleons a piece, and the venom of the eight-eyed spider he raised.
, each pint can be sold for 100 Galleons, making Hagrid the invisible richest man in Hogwarts.
But for Tom, this price is very unfriendly.
But his eyes stayed on a group of small white creatures.
"Pigeon?" he asked in surprise.
"Yes, carrier pigeons, they can also deliver letters, but they can't deliver packages." The clerk nodded, "5 galleons each."
Tom thought about it for a while and bought a homing pigeon that was all white with a red beak. Just when he was about to leave, he realized that there seemed to be some activity going on in the store.
"Blind box." This was the answer given to him by the teller sister.
Five gold galleons can be used to draw a prize. Of course, it is hard to say what the prize will be. Tom thought about it and thought that he could draw it to see. After all, he has the skill of inspiration, and frequent use these days has made it almost impossible.
It has been upgraded to level 1. The current status is [Inspiration Level 0 (99+/100)]
"Okay, please let me pick a box." Tom put ten gold galleons on the counter, 5 for pigeons, and 5 for drawing cards.
The teller brought a small box to Tom. Tom put his hand through the opening at the top and took out a ball. On the ball was clearly written: Special Prize.
