Snakes in Hogwarts

"How can you have so much money?"

Seeing Andros, who swept Jin Jialong on the counter quickly into the bag, Professor McGonagall couldn't help asking.

Her brows frowned. Obviously, Professor McGonagall thought that Andros had done some unseen tricks to get so many pounds.

After all, no one would have imagined that a child coming out of an orphanage would have more than one hundred pounds. Similarly, the Grangers looked at Andros with unexpected eyes.

"These are all my possessions, Professor McGonagall." While answering the professor's question, Andros carefully counted the number of Jin Jialong. He exchanged thirty Jin Jialong in total.

He didn't deceive Professor McGonagall. Except for the pound that he saved for emergency, this is indeed all his possessions.

"Since I was seven or eight years old, I started picking up waste. These are the money I have saved in the past few years. I originally planned to find a better school."

Was his life like this?

Seeing Andros who said these words with a flat face, Hermione's eyebrows couldn't help but twisted. Her parents were both dentists and her living conditions were pretty good since she was a child. After all, dentists in the UK can be considered good. It is a high-income group.

"Don't worry, Hogwarts won't let you down." Professor McGonagall, who knew that he had been thinking too much, patted Andros on the shoulder.

"Professor McGonagall, you just talked about the underground vault, so how can I own a vault?" Perceiving that the atmosphere is a little dignified, Andros took the initiative to change the subject.

"As long as you deposit more than one hundred Jin Jialong at a time, you can apply for a vault." The fairy behind the counter said with a sharp voice.

Perhaps because the structure of the vocal cords is different, the goblins always give people a very funny feeling when they talk about human words.

"How about it, do you want to get one? Now, apply for the vault and give a free dragon skin wallet."

"No, next time."

One hundred Jin Jialong?

Selling yourself is not worth so much money.

It seems that this time I can't experience the distinctive underground cart of Gringotts.

Forget it, there will be opportunities in the future.

After Granger's family also changed Jin Jialong, Andros and his team walked out of Gringotts, and now they can finally make purchases.

"Let's go to the bookstore first!" As soon as she walked out of the bronze gate of Gringotts, Hermione couldn't help but suggest. As early as the way here, the little girl's mind had already floated on the weird books.

"I also can."

Andros was naturally indispensable for this. Under Hermione's leadership, they soon came to the north side of Diagon Alley, in front of a big bookstore called Li Hen.

This is a very spacious shop. It is filled with bookshelves taller than Hagrid. It is filled with all kinds of books, from curse textbooks to wizard journals, whether they are large Leather hardcover books on paving slabs, or pocket-sized silk-faced books like stamps, you can think of them here.

Even the ground is full of various books, which makes people feel a little bit unable to get down.

"Welcome to Lihen Bookstore, what can I do for you?" Although there were a lot of customers in the store, the sharp-eyed clerk spotted Andros at a glance.

Professor McGonagall didn't speak, she seemed to want to leave the shopping fun to Andros and Hermione, the two young wizards who were about to enter school.

As for the Grangers, the unreliable parents went to study those weird books as soon as they entered the door.

Seeing Hermione who was a little nervous and didn't know how to speak, Andros smiled slightly. He didn't expect that she would be so shy when she first entered the wizarding world.

Although the admission letter and the additional essentials list were damaged by Ivar, Andros has his own way.

"We need two copies of Hogwarts first grade wizard textbooks, and maybe we will buy other books that interest us."

"OK, just a second."

Andros nodded. Beside him, Hermione had already rushed into the ocean of knowledge impatiently. She was quite interested in holding up a large book of "The Rise and Fall of Modern Magic History", with relish. Looked up.

I don't know why, the girl has a very strong interest in history, which may be one of the reasons why she never sleeps even in the history of magic by Professor Bins.

However, shouldn't normal people's first reaction here be those spell books about how to cast spells?

Unfolding a copy of "The Curse and Anti-Curse", Andros read it with gusto. This book tells many evil curses and curses and their casting skills. Only a cursory flip, Andros found out from it. The leg-locking curse, the whole body restraint curse, the tongue-ending curse

"Mr. Lobach, what I must remind you is that it is too early for you to read this book." Professor McGonagall couldn't help but remind after seeing the books selected by Andros.

"These spells are still too dangerous for a wizard of your age, and I must remind you that unless there is a valid reason, it is illegal to cast Muggles for pleasure or revenge. "

Professor McGonagall reminded Andros very solemnly, letting the latter put the book in his hand back to its original place with a little scorn.

"Don't worry, I'm just a little curious."

Forget it, come buy it next time, anyway, she can't stare at herself 24 hours a day.

"Well, curiosity is a good thing, but magic is very dangerous. It must be done gradually."

"You check to see if there is anything missing." The clerk just walked back before they were allowed to wait too long, holding a large stack of books in his arms, panting and placing them in Andros. In front of.

It seems that this clerk shouldn't have studied magic well in school, and it is so laborious to do things that can be solved by a floating spell.

Taking the list of necessities from Hermione, Andros quickly checked the books needed by the freshman.

"One Jin Jialong for "Standard Spell: Elementary", one Jin Jialong for "Black Magic: Guide to Self-Defense", one Jin Jialong for "Elementary Transformation Guide", two Jin Jialongs for "The History of Magic", two Jin Jialong for "Theory of Magic" Jin Jialong, two Jin Jialongs in "Where Are Fantastic Beasts", two Jin Jialongs in "A Thousand Wonders of Herbs and Mushrooms", two Jin Jialongs in "Magic Potion and Potion", a total of 13 gold for one person Kanon, thanks for review."

"No, it's so expensive!"

After hearing the price, Andros couldn't help but slapped his mouth. He didn't expect that the books in front of him would cost so much money.

This is already a quarter of all his belongings.

No wonder the Weasleys need to buy second-hand books for their children. If they have a new book, it would be too expensive for them.

Who told them to have more children?

"There are many books that will be used in future studies, such as "The History of Magic" and "A Thousand Kinds of Magical Herbs and Mushrooms". After buying them once, you don’t need to buy other textbooks, and you can also buy them. Second-hand books, their prices will be much cheaper." Professor McGonagall gave his own suggestions.

"Then you should buy a second-hand one." Upon hearing this, Andros cheekily returned the book packed in front of him.

Things like these are not very important. Naturally, if you can save it, you don't need to lose your lien because of some indelible face.

Selectively ignoring the dissatisfied eyes of the clerk in the bookstore, Andros walked out of Lihen Bookstore, and then turned into a second-hand bookstore not far away. By coincidence, this store is just across the road, Lihen Bookstore. Not far away.

The name of the shop is also very nice, Guazi Second-hand Bookstore.

Compared with Lihen Bookstore, this place is undoubtedly deserted a lot. Similarly, there is no such sort of stacking of books like Lihen Bookstore.

All kinds of books are arranged in a disorderly manner, piled up into piles of books tall one after another.

"I want to buy a set of textbooks for first-year Hogwarts."

"In which pile of books, you can find it yourself." The clerk said lazily, and he gave Andros a pile of books casually, and then ignored him.

Sure enough, there is a reason for the bad business.

With the help of Professor McGonagall, it took a long time for Andros to select a complete set of teaching materials from a pile of books. Most of these books have some minor problems, such as missing pages and various weird handwritings. Concealed by graffiti, or suffered some unimaginable misfortune.

When choosing books, Andros saw a book "Magic Potion and Potion" that was corrupted by nothing.

Therefore, you need to pay extra attention when choosing. Choose books with complete page numbers and clear handwriting. It would be better if there are still written notes on them.

"Okay, let's go buy robes. This is the traditional costume of wizards."

"Wait a minute, Professor McGonagall." Andros looked at such a large stack of heavy books, and suddenly got an idea when he rolled his eyes.

"What's the matter, Mr. Lobach?"

"It's too inconvenient to carry these things. Is there any curse for me?"

"It's simple, it only needs a quick reduction." Professor McGonagall seemed very pleased that Andros could think of using magic to solve the problem.

She drew her wand and whispered a few spells to the two packages in front of her.

Immediately afterwards, the books in front of them began to deform rapidly, and the original heavy tomes eventually turned into pocket books the size of a matchbox.

"It's so cool! What kind of spell is this?"

"Shrinking spell, Miss Granger. This is a not difficult spell, and you will learn it soon after you enter Hogwarts."

While Professor McGonagall explained the spell to Little Hermione, Andros buckled the weight of the package.

The package is very light. It seems that the rapid shrinkage does not only change the size of the object, but also reduces the weight in proportion to a certain proportion.

"Professor, how long can this effect last?"

"It depends on the magic power of the person who casts the spell, Mr. Lobach. The spell that I release will last a whole day without a problem. The opposite is a magnifying spell, which can magnify the object in proportion."
