It was the last Wednesday of the holiday, and the Grangers drove Ryan and their daughter to Diagon Alley for shopping. Because Ryan's mother had to go to work, and his father claimed that he had a brilliant idea and he would quickly open a new book and let Ryan go easily.
pigeon.
After Ryan arrived in this world, he discovered that although the general historical direction of this world is not much different from the world he was originally in, there are still changes in many small places. For example, many world-famous literary works have become
There are similar works by other authors, and some have never appeared before.
It’s just that Ryan couldn’t remember the specific content of the books he had read, and he didn’t have time to be a copywriter. So during family chats, Ryan told his father Lan some of the works he remembered that had never appeared in this world as ideas.
Mr. Burt.
Perhaps stimulated by these ideas and the fact that there is magic in this world, Mr. Lambert decided to change his writing style and write a magical epic. So Mr. Lambert, who was writing in retreat, handed Lane over to the Grangers.
, ask them to take Ryan shopping.
According to Ryan's point of view, Hermione's parents are standard educated people, gentle and elegant. In particular, Mr. Granger is actually a fan of Ryan's father's books, which gave many common topics in the car along the way.
When they arrived at Diagon Alley, Ryan and Hermione decided to go to Gringotts to exchange currency first. As soon as they stepped onto the white marble steps of Gringotts, they saw Hagrid walking over with Harry.
"Hey, Harry this way." Harry looked up and saw Ryan and Hermione standing on the white steps of Gringotts.
Ryan said hello as he and Hermione walked down the steps to greet Harry.
"Did you go camping? Why are you so dirty? Hagrid...oh, it's so good to see you two again...Are you going to Gringotts now, Harry?"
"I'll go after I find the Weasleys," Harry said.
"You won't have to look for long," Hagrid said with a smile.
Soon the Weasley family showed up, and the twins and Ron expressed their envy of Harry's adventures in Knockturn Alley.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to chat with Harry, Ryan handed a small bag to Fred.
"What are you doing Ryan?" Ron asked after seeing their deal.
"You know I went to Iceland during the summer vacation, and your brothers asked me to bring them some local specialties." Ryan replied.
As they walked up the steps of Gringotts together, Harry told Ryan that he had met the Malfoys and his son at the dark arts shop. Mr. Weasley, who was following behind, felt that he should seize evidence that the Malfoys were engaged in dark magic.
Then he argued with Mrs. Weasley who advised him to put safety first.
Mr. Weasley's attention was quickly diverted, and he greeted Mr. and Mrs. Granger who were standing in the hall. It seemed that Mr. Weasley was indeed a good man who was very enthusiastic about Muggles, but Granger
Mr. and Mrs. Jie were a little uncomfortable with this kind of enthusiasm.
Then the two sides said goodbye temporarily. The Weasley family and Harry went to the underground vault to withdraw money, while Ryan and Hermione exchanged currency in the hall.
"This year everyone's quota is 250 Galleons because the textbook fee for Hogwarts has increased this year." The goblin said to them a little impatiently. It is very likely that he said this sentence many times this morning.
After Harry and the others came out, everyone made an appointment to meet at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in an hour. After that, it was time for free shopping.
Ryan and the others were strolling along the cobbled streets, browsing the dazzling array of goods on the street, and eating a large piece of nut cream ice cream. They saw the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan buying a large number of fireworks. They were then pulled away by Hermione.
Purchase parchment and ink.
As usual, Ryan went to the thrift store to look for any useful old books. Hermione was also eager to try this kind of treasure hunting after seeing Ryan's 1893 edition of "One Hundred Common Potions Making" last time.
Unfortunately, Harry and Ron were not interested in this, so they separated from Ryan and the others and went to the Quidditch boutique.
"Knowledge is so useful, but why do they think that barbaric sport of flying around on a broom is more interesting?" Hermione said with some confusion.
"You have to know that they all have a family inheritance of this sport. Besides, after all, only a small number of people enjoy reading books." Ryan turned to Hermione as he pushed open the store door.
After entering the door, they found that Percy Weasley was concentrating on reading a very boring book: "How Prefects Gain Power". Ryan looked at the page that opened and read the careers that prefects engaged in after leaving school.
Seeing Ryan staring at his book curiously, Percy closed the book a little embarrassed and said hello to Ryan. In fact, Percy and Ryan have a good relationship with Hermione, especially when they organize group homework.
Percy provided a lot of help.
"The content of this book is too simple." Ryan said with some disdain. But think about it, the magic world is so big, there is no need for sophisticated political skills.
"I think this book is very well written. Why do you think it is crude?" Percy asked curiously. From his expression, he felt that Ryan didn't understand at all at his age and was probably just talking nonsense.
"I recommend you to read the Zizhi Tongjian of the Celestial Dynasty. This is a book written by a prime minister of the Chinese Dynasty to the emperor more than a thousand years ago. The cases cited in it are much higher than those in this book. I remember someone put this book
Translated into English."
Percy was indeed very interested. He even asked Ryan to write the name of the book in Chinese and said that he might go to Chinatown to look for the book.
After seeing off the somewhat excited Percy, Ryan and Hermione began to look through the pile of old books. Most of the owners just scribbled on the old books, and one might even have been soaked in some kind of potion and gave off an unpleasant smell.
Maybe novices usually have good luck. Finally, Hermione found a useful book, which was a Ravenclaw student's Charms class notes. She thought there was some knowledge in it that was very useful.
When checking out, Hermione said to Ryan: "I have always thought that these second-hand books are for people with financial problems. They have no advantages except that they are cheap. Thanks to you telling me, I know that there are still things left by previous generations.
Valuable knowledge.”
Ryan smiled. Sometimes there are valuable things hidden in second-hand goods. This is the experience he gained when buying second-hand goods at Xianyu in his previous life. Hermione, who comes from a good family, never needs to buy second-hand goods for economic reasons.
For a girl, this is a very new theory. Especially when she takes out gold from a pile of garbage, the joy of harvesting is something she has never experienced before.
After paying the bill and going out, Ryan took out his pocket watch and found that the appointed time was approaching, so he and Hermione hurriedly ran to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
