When all the things were almost bought, Hermione took out his wallet and said: "You know my birthday is in September. This time I have to leave early for Brazil, so my parents gave me some money to buy for myself.
The total budget for birthday gifts is fifteen galleons."
"This budget is very generous." Ryan said: "You won't give yourself a book as a birthday gift, right?"
"No, of course not." Hermione denied: "I decided to buy a pet. After all, after two school years, my school life has been on the right track. It's time to consider buying a pet to accompany me."
So the three people crossed the street and came to the pet store called Magic Zoo. The space in the store was very small, and there were cages hanging on every inch of the wall, which made the store smelly and noisy. All kinds of things
The sounds of animals mixed together are so noisy that it gives people a headache.
Because a witch had bought a rare bird of paradise, the shop owner had been explaining to the witch how to raise it. In this case, the three of them could only look at the cages in the shop in boredom.
There are many kinds of pets here, the most common ones are naturally owls and cats, but there are also some uncommon animals, such as a giant sea turtle with a back shell studded with jewels, and a fire crab that constantly spits out flames from its buttocks.
There is also a blue bird that can constantly transform itself into various flowers.
Finally, the shop owner sent away the witch who raised the bird of paradise, and then found Ryan and the others waiting there. "What do you need?" the shop owner asked.
After some selection, Hermione bought what could be called a huge owl with dark brown feathers. The most special thing about this owl was that it had long ear feathers on both sides of its head.
"This is an eagle." When she walked out of the pet store, Hermione held up the cage to show Ryan and the others. "I thought about it for a long time between a big orange cat, but I thought about going far away this year.
Local study tour. In order to facilitate communication, I finally chose this big owl that the shop owner said can fly intercontinentally."
"Ah, eagle. I know this kind of bird. Some people think that soaking its bones in wine can cure fractures, so they hunt them." Ryan thought of something and said.
"That's terrible." Hermione shook her head.
"Of course, most countries in the Muggle world have laws making it illegal to capture them," Ryan added.
Chatting all the way, everyone returned to the Leaky Cauldron Bar, where they met Neville and his grandmother. After seeing them, Mrs. Longbottom came up to shake their hands and thanked them for helping Longbottom make up for his classes last semester.
Neville's final exam results last semester were quite satisfactory.
After some pleasantries, Mrs. Longbottom took Neville to Diagon Alley to buy things. Ryan and Hermione took the subway home after saying goodbye to Harry.
After leaving the subway station and walking on the road, Hermione asked curiously: "What is that magic you used in the bookstore? Why have I never seen it before?"
"That's a centaur's magic. It was taught to me by Wolfe. At that time, I discovered that these books contained some characteristics of creatures, and I was wondering if I could use this magic to soothe life. Anyway, even if this magic fails, it will not
No damage. In the end, you see, I succeeded." Ryan pushed this magic to the centaurs. Anyway, except for himself, Ryan could not find any wizard who could gain the centaurs' complete trust.
Hermione accepted Ryan's explanation and said with envy: "Centaurs, a race that can coexist with wizards to this day. I believe they must have their own specialties."
"Actually, this is an application of ancient magic texts. With the birth of modern magic, these spells have slowly become rare among human wizards. However, they are still intact among some ancient races."
"So that's it. It seems that I need more channels to obtain knowledge, and I can't just stare at books." Hermione nodded with sudden realization.
In the next few days, Ryan packed his luggage at home and wrote to several classmates from pure-blood families he knew to ask for news about the Castello Brusch School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Soon these close friends responded to the letters, including Neville's
The letter was written in the most detail. The letter carefully introduced the history of the school and the subjects it currently specializes in. However, these detailed and organized contents did not seem to be summarized by Neville himself, but more like the handwriting of Old Lady Longbottom.
Thinking about how old Mrs. Longbottom is, she still has to take care of Neville, who is both a father and a mother. She even wrote these things herself in order to help her grandson improve his relationship with his friends. Ryan also had to sigh with emotion.
The love of a calf.
On August 27th, after having a hearty breakfast early in the morning, the Lane family set out in the family's SUV. As soon as they turned the first intersection out of the house, they saw the blue Granger family.
The colorful Volkswagen SUV was parked at the intersection. Yesterday, the two families made an appointment to set off together today.
At half past nine, Ryan and the others arrived at King's Cross Station. So they sat in the cafe at the train station for a while until the clock reached a quarter past ten. After listening to their parents' instructions, they hugged each other reluctantly.
After saying goodbye, Ryan and Hermione pushed the luggage trolley into platform nine and three-quarters one after another.
Perhaps because I arrived a little early, except for an old guard on platform nine and three-quarters, there were only two or three scattered students walking on the platform or sitting on the benches.
However, Ryan discovered that they were all senior Slytherin students, so he and Hermione found a bench far away from them and sat down, and took out the ancient magic text textbook and started reading.
After reading for a while, Ryan discovered that the ancient magic text textbooks contained the writing method and pronunciation of the magic text, but the most important part of the spiritual infusion was missing.
No wonder there are fewer and fewer people in this class. The magic text that cannot be used to infuse spirits can only be said to be a special language and has no magical effect at all. This kind of magic text without the method of injecting spirits has no practical effect after it is completed.
The effect. Naturally, this subject has gradually turned from one of the basic courses of magic into an unpopular course.
Ryan feels that the current situation is probably a means for pure-blood families to maintain their family status. Thinking about it, he knows that there is a high probability that those families have various magical infusion methods passed down from ancient times. And they can only be obtained from the school.
The little wizards who are learning knowledge can only use a simple introduction to explore the spirit infusion methods. Except for some geniuses, most people's methods are far less good than the methods that the predecessors in the pure-blood family have worked hard to sum up. This naturally reaches the pure-bloods.
The purpose of monopolizing knowledge and confirming the superiority of pure-blood families.
This is just like how few combat spells are learned at Hogwarts. Those pure-blood families maintain their status in the wizarding world through the control of knowledge.
Thinking about all this, half an hour passed. Students also rushed to the platform one after another. Finally, a whining sound was heard in the distance, and the red steam engine head of the Hogwarts Express appeared at the corner.
