When Joel saw this, he didn't pursue it any further. Since Sergey said that, he definitely didn't want him to get into it further.
As a seasoned veteran, Joel is well versed in the ways of the world, but Sergey is not a close friend of his. People should keep a distance from each other, and blindly asking questions will make others feel disgusted.
Joel had lunch at a French restaurant outside. When he returned to the Leaky Cauldron pub room, he received a package and a letter from an owl.
It was from Professor Claire White. Joel opened the envelope first.
Joel, I hope you have a happy life recently.
I have arrived in Paris. The sun here is bright and the climate is much easier to tolerate than the rainy and humid climate in London. Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has provided us with a place to stay for Constantine to recover. By the way, he insisted on asking me to write to him in the letter.
You express your gratitude.
The rule of the Soviet Union is crumbling, and I heard that Ukraine and Belarus are also planning to withdraw from the alliance. Andrei Ulyanov is now too busy to do anything, and he probably doesn't have time to hunt down Constantine anymore.
Since food in Britain is even more boring than in the Soviet Union, I specially sent you a bottle of French foie gras so you can try it. In addition, before I left, I tidied up the house in Hogsmeade and found what you had left behind.
I'll send you the hammer as well.
I hope we can keep in touch and wish you a happy summer vacation.
The hammer of confession is still lying in his suitcase. Now this indestructible hammer has no use, so he might as well keep it for cracking nuts.
The foie gras tasted really good and successfully kept Joel through the first half of the holiday.
The hot summer vacation passed quickly, and the contact between Joel, Ellen, and Eddie was not interrupted. They decided to go to Diagon Alley on August 15th to purchase school supplies for the new school year.
None of them were able to contact Sergey. He seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the world. The letters sent by his roommates were never returned.
Therefore, when the three reunited and met, Allen's first words were: "Do you have any news about Sergey?"
Eddie snorted coldly, "I think he just doesn't want to reply to us."
"Actually, I saw Sergey at the entrance of St. Mungo's Hospital a month ago. He was going to take care of his grandfather," Joel shrugged. "Maybe he was too busy to write a reply?"
Allen frowned worriedly when he heard this, and Eddie hugged Allen's shoulders carelessly, "Don't worry about his affairs. You will happily accompany me to buy a broomstick when you come out today."
He took the two of them to the Quidditch boutique. There were particularly many customers in Diagon Alley today. The freshmen had received their admission notices, and many parents of the students chose to go out to purchase supplies today.
The Quidditch boutique is located in the bustling area of Diagon Alley. There is a Nimbus 2000 in the shop window. A group of children, big and small, are gathering together to listen to the store clerk explain its outstanding performance.
"For only 500 gold galleons, you can have the same broom as the Irish Quidditch national team," the clerk said, memorizing the introduction of Nimbus 2000. "This is the fastest broom in the world, no one else."
"Sweeping Seven Stars is not worth mentioning in front of it. The straight-line acceleration is 40% slower than that of Nimbus 2000. Think about it, if you ride the Nimbus 2000 as a seeker in the game, and your opponent rides Sweeping Seven Stars, you guys
The two of you saw the Golden Snitch at the same time, you two accelerated at the same time..."
"Then I must have captured the Golden Snitch first!" A little boy had bright eyes. He was short and fat, and his raised arms were as fleshy as lotus joints.
He turned his head and shook the hand of the girl next to him, "Sister, I want this Nimbus 2000!"
"Bernie, you are only in the first grade. There is no need to use such a good broom." Joel suspected that he was hallucinating, and took two steps closer to confirm that the fat boy's sister was actually Haylis, "not to mention Hogwart
Ci's Quidditch team only started recruiting players in the second grade, so it's too early for you to buy them now."
"Long time no see, Selwyn." Eddie also spotted his classmates and stepped forward to say hello to Haylis.
Haylis glanced at Eddie, frowned without trace, and then nodded, "Hello, Mr. Carmichael."
When she saw Joel beside Eddie, her face turned cloudy and clear in an instant, and her eyebrows relaxed slightly, "Long time no see, Joel."
Eddie muttered something about differential treatment. When looking at faces, he didn't know how Hailes and Joel became familiar with each other. He thought Hailes was attracted by Joel's appearance.
Joel shared the holiday life with Hailes with a smile. The chubby Bernie beside him was not happy. He took Hailes's hand and pulled it back, leaving a big gap between Joel and Hailes.
Block gap.
"Sister, sister, I want that Nimbus 2000, why don't you buy it for me..." He started blinking his eyes and squeezing tears, pretending to be pitiful.
Haylis looked helpless and didn't know what to do with this younger brother.
Eddie joined in the fun at this time. He ran to the clerk and ordered a Nimbus 2000. The gold galleons he saved last school year finally came into use. He simply paid the 500 galleons. Eddie
He walked out of the Quidditch boutique with Nimbus 2000 wrapped in butter paper.
This move received a burst of exclamations from the surrounding children, who all wanted to touch the brand new broom in Eddie's hand.
Eddie happened to get in front of Fat Bernie and pulled away the butter paper, revealing the shiny Nimbus 2000 inside. He stretched out his hand to touch the broom while closing his eyes and exclaiming that it felt great.
Bernie suddenly became anxious. Driven by a comparison mentality, he insisted that Haylis buy him Nimbus 2000, otherwise he would lie on the ground and not leave. He had already started to use tear bombs to win the sympathy of the people around him.
"Aren't you being a rogue?" The whispers of the children around her reached her ears, and Haylis turned red with anger. Joel was still here, what should he think about this situation? The tutor of the Selwyn family was
Is it so unbearable?
Not to mention that there are so many classmates here. If Bernie is lying on the ground and rolling around just to get that broom, tomorrow there will be news in the circle of British wizards and pure-blood aristocrats: "Shocked! The heir of the Selwyn family collapsed in the street."
Just for it?" message.
It would definitely bring shame to the Selwyn family. Haylis had been taught since she was a child to put family honor first. At this time, she had no choice but to comply with Bernie's request.
"Why don't you get up and I buy it for you?" she said helplessly.
500 gold galleons, it seems that I have to save some pocket money again this semester, and there are still many people who need to buy Christmas gifts.
"Thank you sister, I know that sister is the best to me!" Bernie's face changed instantly, his face turned from gloomy to clear, and the tears in his eyes were swallowed into his stomach, and he followed Haylis with a smile on his face.
Entered the Quidditch Boutique and paid.
The five of them simply walked together. On the way to Florin's cold drink shop, Haylis introduced Bernie to several others, "This is my younger brother Bernie Selwyn, who is also going to school this year."
The few people exchanged their names and identities and got to know each other. After sitting down in the cold drink shop, Joel took the initiative to place an order. When he returned to the outdoor seat with five large boxes of ice cream, he suddenly heard a childish voice calling.
