"Where are we going next?" After walking out of the Weasley Joke Shop, Hermione turned to Ryan and asked, "Are we going to buy the raw materials for making wands?"
"Yes, I think now we need to go to the Ministry of Magic to apply for a batch of materials. After we get back, the two wand-making masters can start work." Ryan said and walked with Hermione towards the hill where the Ministry of Magic is located.
.
After the establishment of the Ministry of Magic in Hogsmeade, under Dumbledore's suggestion, most of the raw materials for making war supplies are now under control. If it is only a small-scale purchase, it is not a big problem, but a large-scale purchase like theirs is necessary.
I went to the Ministry of Magic to register in advance.
Fortunately, the process went very smoothly. Because of Ryan's identity as master alchemist, the Ministry of Magic staff did not even ask Ryan what he wanted the raw materials for making wands for. In addition, they also applied for their own passes.
"Let's go to Hogwarts Castle to find Hagrid now. He should have something we can use." After getting the passes and a batch of raw materials, Ryan and the others walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Magic and headed towards Hogwarts.
Walk towards Gwartz Castle.
When they came outside Hagrid's hut, they found that Yaya was chasing the goblins in the vegetable garden outside the hut. Unfortunately, the goblins were very responsive. When Yaya rushed towards them, they would hide in the hole and stay in the hole.
Laugh at it.
It seems that there are guests in the room. Ryan thought about it and knocked on the door of the small house. Soon he heard the sound of chairs moving, and then Hagrid's voice came from inside: "Okay, let me open the door. Why?"
There are so many guests here today."
Hagrid opened the door a crack, revealing his big bearded face. After seeing clearly that it was Ryan, he opened the door wide and let Ryan and the others in. "I think you two can squeeze in and sit on my sofa.
Come on, I have a lot of guests here today."
After entering the room, Ryan found that Hagrid's room had not changed much. There was still a lot of food hanging on the ceiling, such as dry cheese, ham, and some sausages. In the middle of the room, a flame was burning in the hearth of a stove.
, there was a large copper kettle that was spitting out white gas.
"Good morning, Harry, Ron, and Ginny." Ryan greeted the three people sitting on the big sofa. "It's nice to see you again. We have been a little too busy outside for the past half month.
, I really can’t write to you.”
"We can understand this." Harry nodded, and then said a little excitedly. "We know what you are doing from the news recently. It's a pity that I didn't pass the exam successfully last time, otherwise I would definitely have to fight with you now.
We are still fighting on the front line."
"By the way, speaking of exams." Hermione suddenly reacted. "Harry, Ron, you have to take exam S this year. You already knew how difficult this exam is at the beginning of the semester. Why are you still free today?"
Ran out of school?"
"Hermione, why do I still hear you talking like this after you've graduated?" Ron said helplessly. "I'm almost going crazy in school all day long, whether it's Hogsmeade day or Quidditch."
All odd games have been canceled this year, saying it is for safety reasons. The only entertainment thing for us is to walk around this venue. Haven't you seen that there are more people on the venue now than in the past?
Is it much?"
After hearing this, Ryan looked at the field through the window. Sure enough, there were a lot more people on the field than before. And there were many people using the field to play games that didn't require much space, such as cricket, tennis, and more.
There is football.
"Ah, these children are indeed lively," said Hagrid as he poured boiling water into a large teapot, "but I had to put a protective spell on my window, because before that my window
The glass was broken twice by footballs."
"This is quite common outside." Hermione said after picking up the teacup and taking a sip. Then she raised the teacup in front of her and looked at it doubtfully. "Hagrid, how are you communicating with Madam Maxime now?
?”
"There is a letter every week -" Brother Hai, who was handing a plate of sugar cubes to Ginny, subconsciously replied, then suddenly stood up and almost hit the ham hanging on the roof. "You are
How do you know? I have never told anyone about this."
Harry and the others immediately looked at Hermione with gossipy eyes. Hermione cleared her throat slightly and put the teacup in her hand on the saucer. Then she pointed at the teacup and said, "This tea set looks very delicate and a little biased."
Feminine. At the same time, after careful observation, I can confirm that this tea set is produced by Patou Ceramics in France, which is the top porcelain brand in the Muggle world. So I guess it was not bought by Hagrid himself, but by someone.
A woman in France gave it to him."
"And the only French woman Hagrid knows is Mrs. Baksim, so it's easy to deduce what follows." After saying this, Hermione showed a slightly proud expression.
"You guessed it right." Hagrid admitted frankly after a slight hesitation. "Olim and I have been chatting before, especially in this situation, she is under a lot of pressure and needs to talk to a reliable person.
Inner pressure.”
"Yes, just like Principal Dumbledore said, in times like this we should unite together. Only in this way can we truly defeat the darkness." Hermione patted Hagrid, who was sitting on the small stool next to her.
The arm said, "So, I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart."
"Yes, I wish you all the best." "This is simply great." Harry and the others also sent their blessings. After hearing these blessings, Hagrid covered his face with his hands in excitement and sobbed loudly.
Hagrid had always had a sense of inferiority before, because the status gap between him and Maxim was still too big, which is why he had been hiding his relationship, but now everyone's blessings have made him suddenly
He felt relieved. This was why he suddenly started crying.
It took Hagrid a while to calm down, and then he looked at Ryan and the others and asked, "By the way, you have graduated. I heard Professor Dumbledore say that you have a lot of things to be busy with recently, so you
What's the reason you came to my place today?"
"Yes, there are indeed some." Ryan briefly described the process of rescuing the two wand-making masters before, and then continued. "For safety reasons, the two wand-making masters hope to stay during the war.
In our manor. But during this period, they are willing to help everyone make wands, so I came here hoping to buy some materials for making wands."
"Materials for making wands - we have them!" Hagrid pondered for a while and then slapped his head hard. The sound even made Ryan worried that Hagrid had a concussion. Fortunately, this worry did not become a reality.
Hagrid quickly stood up and took out a dozen silver-white unicorn tail feathers, two phoenix feathers, dozens of Thestral tail feathers and a bundle of twigs from a box behind him.
"I think this should be the most common wand material." Hagrid pointed to these things and said. "I picked these up in the Forbidden Forest before. I hope the two wand masters can make proper use of these things. Because
Many freshmen in the past two years cannot buy a wand that belongs to them, and can only use some old wands or second-hand wands that don't fit. So I hope new wands can be made quickly."
"Thank you for your help. By the way, how much do these things cost?" Ryan asked after taking the things.
"It's enough for you to give me 100 Galleons. I need to hand over the money to the school. After all, the Forbidden Forest is also part of Hogwarts in a broader sense." Hagrid said, "If this were not the case, I would not pay it.
I won’t even ask you for it, because I know you want these things for everyone.”
