The employees of Flourish and Blott Bookstore had something to do again. They tied a rope around "The Invisible Book of Invisibility" several times so that they could know where the book was.
Charles found the book he wanted, and then started picking out Christmas gifts for others.
Charles chose a book called "Practical Household Magic" for Seamus, which contains relatively simple and frequently used magic, suitable for him to practice controlling magic output in daily use.
Starting from this winter, Mrs. Finnigan embarked on the road to becoming a master of repair spells.
Charles also asked the manager to recommend a copy of "Atlas of Western European Herbal Medicine", which weighed several kilograms. Then he found that a "Collection of Self-Defense Spells" was also good. He bought one copy of each for himself, and also bought another copy for Neville.<
/p>
Then came the Weasley twins. At this time, he saw "Twelve Tips for Bewitching Witches". He thought that they were also at this age, so he took down the magic trick book "Tips for Dealing with Pranks".
It looks good, that’s all.
Not long after, he saw "How Prefects Gain Power", which was a good gift to Percy. This guy actually took good care of the younger students.
When Charles passed by a bookshelf, he picked up a copy of "Common Spells and Solutions" and gave it to Ron.
As for the gifts for Harry and Hermione, they had been printed out at a printing shop in London just now. It was a full sheet of A4 paper.
After choosing gifts for some familiar classmates and professors, Charles began to have a headache. He couldn't think of what to give to Eleanor for a while. She might have already bought the books, and he didn't know what style she liked for other girls' things.
Yes, we never talked about this when we were at Hogwarts.
When he was in trouble in Diagon Alley, Jack came over and said to him: "You have bought all the gifts. Now go to the Owl Post Office to mail them, and then go to Saint-Etienne immediately."
Charles replied: "I've basically bought everything, but I'm missing one thing that I haven't thought about."
Jack said as he walked: "Let's think about it on the way, maybe it's also sold in Saint-Etienne."
They came to the Owl Post Office in Diagon Alley. Charles sent out all the gifts. At the same time, he saw the old man sending a box to Professor McGonagall. He didn't know what was inside.
The two left Diagon Alley, got in the car, and left London to go south.
Charles had never heard of Saint-Etienne, and thought it might be a village like Godric's Hollow where wizards and ordinary people lived together. The old man might have heard about an old friend, so he hurriedly came to
Rush over.
But he didn't expect that the old man stepped on the accelerator, and the car flew across the English Channel to the Normandy area, and soon flew over the top of the Eiffel Tower. They didn't have GPS or other positioning means, so they just followed the road on the ground with the help of landmarks at the height of the treetops.
Fly southeast.
Outside the car window, the Palace of Fontainebleau fell behind him. Charles couldn't help asking Jack: "Grandpa, where is Saint-Etienne?"
Jack replied: "Near Lyon."
Charles thought to himself, this flight is really far, about 800 kilometers.
He looked at the sky. There were two delta-wing fighter jets flying under the clouds. He didn't know how many times it was along the way. It seemed that the car was detected by radar just now when the old man raised the altitude to find Paris to determine the direction. p>
Fortunately, the car is optically invisible and is now low enough that the French Air Force did not detect it.
Jack drove the car and continued: "Ollivander told me just now that the little guy from the Tyr family made something that he has been researching for many years. Ollivander only heard about this thing, and those of them
The wand makers have their own circle, but they don’t know what they are making.”
"I know what it is. The little guy met me when he was 20 years old and told me his idea. I thought it was quite interesting and gave him some funding."
Charles thought that this Thiel should be the same wand maker in France as Ollivander, and asked curiously: "What does he make? Some kind of new wand?"
Jack just replied calmly: "I'll take a look and tell you. Anyway, it's not the Gatling wand you always wanted. The last time I asked Ollivander about it, the boat of friendship almost sank."
The question marks in Charles's heart are getting bigger and bigger.
Near evening, the car arrived at its destination. When the car stopped, Charles was so surprised that his mouth opened wide.
Just now, the old man's appearance changed to look like Marlon Brando in 10 seconds, as if he pinched his face.
This was the first time that Charles knew that he would change his appearance, and his eyes gradually glowed.
"Don't think about it now." Jack asked him for his wand, "Wait until your transfiguration is good enough."
Charles handed over the wand and asked curiously: "Which one is your true face?"
Jack just shrugged, did not answer, and took him on a path into the mountains near the city.
I saw the two of them crashing into a big tree on the top of the mountain like rabbits, and a lively village appeared in the originally lush valley.
The village is not big, and the houses are built along a stone road that passes through the valley. There are many wizards on the road.
Jack pointed to the foot of the mountain and said: "Go and have a look. There are several famous craftsmen living here. It is the place where the best magic items are sold in France."
After saying that, his figure disappeared.
Charles soon arrived in the village, which was almost as lively as Diagon Alley.
The only shops selling magic items on the street are broomstick shops, wand shops, clothing and jewelry stores, and a bookstore selling professional books. However, these shops have played a role in promoting the development of the local economy. The streets are crowded with people selling various kinds of magic items.
There are vendors selling goods and several restaurants.
Charles walked around for a while first, but he didn't dare to buy anything from the roadside stalls. He was traumatized by being tricked into a tourist attraction in his previous life, so he walked into the store selling clothing and jewelry.
The clothes sold here are all clothing with additional functions, such as men's boxer briefs with iron armor charms. Charles bought a dozen without hesitation.
Then he bought another pair of gloves to protect his hands, and then went to the jewelry area on the second floor to see if there were any small jewelry suitable for Eleanor.
The second floor is full of young people, many of them are choosing their favorite jewelry, while some are waiting to pay.
Charles bought a shiny hairpin, which he wore on his head to avoid being slapped, and he gave Eleanor a gift.
At this time, the shop assistant next to her said to the customer in front of her: "I'm very sorry, this set of necklaces is not just for sale."
Charles was waiting for his things to be packed. He turned his head and his heart beat violently when he saw the customers beside him.
