Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 14 Leaving Diagon Alley

After coming out of the wand shop, Professor McGonagall's complexion was not very good-looking, and he was somewhat relaxed towards Hermione, but when he was towards Lean, he had a completely cold face.

But Lean didn't care at all, or it was Lean who facilitated it.

After all, the admission notice made him panic.

Although he can protect himself with his current strength, but if he can live a good life, who wants to be that mouse that keeps running away?
The group fell silent, and the Grangers looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

Hermione also noticed that there seemed to be some conflicts between Lean and Professor McGonagall, so she stopped pestering Lean with questions.

This made Li En breathe a sigh of relief. Four years of living alone made Li En develop a taciturn character.

"Okay, this is the bookstore. You can buy all the books you need to go to school here." Professor McGonagall stopped and said with a sigh of relief.

Hearing this, Lean was about to go in to buy books, but was stopped by Professor McGonagall.

"Go ahead, Mr. Zell and I still have something to say." Professor McGonagall said to the Granger family with a smile.

Mr. Granger looked at Professor McGonagall, and then began to call Mrs. Granger and Hermione to go in and choose books.

Hermione had almost no resistance to books, and rushed into the bookstore cheering.

"Mr. Zell, what are you thinking! Do you know the consequences of using the Unforgivable Curse in this place?" Professor McGonagall whispered sternly.

Lean looked at Professor McGonagall and replied, "I can release the Death Curse silently and without a stick."

Then Lean opened the door and entered the bookstore with a smile on his face.

Professor McGonagall sighed and followed in.

She understood what Lean meant, which meant that if he really wanted to kill Ollivander, he didn't need to go through such trouble at all.

But Professor McGonagall wanted to remind Lean to pay attention to the fact that black magic can corrode people's will, because the release of black magic requires strong hatred and killing intent as the drive.

After Rian entered the bookstore, Hermione had already selected the books she needed, and she was holding a copy of "A History of Magic" and reading it with relish.

Hermione looked up when she saw Rion coming in, and took a step or two back.

Lean noticed Hermione's situation, nodded with a smile, and thought to himself: It seems that she already knows what Death Eaters represent.

"Sorry, can you give me a copy of all the books you have here?" Li En's voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in the ears of the store manager of Lihen Bookstore.

"Son, what did you just say? It's a lot of money to get all of them." The store manager said to Li En with a smile. He thought Li En was joking.

Rein silently handed the non-marking stretch bag to the store manager, and said, "Are these enough?"

The store manager glanced at Li En suspiciously, then opened it, and was instantly blinded by the huge number of Galleons inside.

"That's enough. All the books add up to about [-] Galleons. Please wait a moment, and I'll prepare them for you." After the store manager finished speaking, he opened his mouth and went to the back.

Lien smacked his lips, glanced at the store manager's back, and couldn't help feeling that money was still easy to use.

Soon, the store manager came out with a box and put it on the counter.

"Here are all the books. If you pay 760 and [-] Galleons, you won't have any change. This non-marking stretch box is also for you."

The store manager smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. After completing this order, it was worth one month's profit normally. These two months were not counted, since it was the peak period for enrollment after all.

Receiving the box and a non-marking stretch bag from the store manager, Lean transferred the corresponding amount of Galleons into it.

The store manager looked at it, and the smile on his face became stronger. He quickly shook Li En's hand and said, "From now on, you will be a distinguished customer of Lihen Bookstore, and you will get a [-]% discount on all books you buy. By the way, if you have any other ideas If you want a book, you can send it by owl."

Hermione was dumbfounded as she watched from the sidelines. Although two hundred Galleons seemed like a lot, after purchasing all the necessary items, there was basically only fifty or sixty Galleons left, which had to be reserved for a year.

So Hermione also bought three additional books, and suddenly heard that Lean had bought all the books, and suddenly felt sore in his mouth.

"If there are any new books that will be released in the future, please send them to me as soon as possible."

Hearing Li En's words, the store manager was so happy that he wanted to hold Li En's hand and dance on the spot.

In the end, Lean and Granger's family left Lihen Bookstore amidst the store manager's cordial farewell.

"The clothes next?" Lean asked.

Hermione looked at the list and nodded.

Professor McGonagall was waiting outside, and came over when he saw them coming out.

"It seems that you have gained a lot?" Professor McGonagall asked, noticing the box in Lien's hand.

"Yes, Professor, Rian bought all the books, all of them." Hermione exaggerated.

"I always believe that knowledge is the necessary condition for a wizard to exist." Lean said calmly.

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall nodded and said, "Maybe you will be assigned to Ravenclaw, I believe you will gain something there."

"Maybe, I'll go to Slytherin?" Lean joked a little.

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall said: "It's very difficult for little Muggle wizards to get into Slytherin, and they're easy to be excluded after they get in. Those pure blood... oh."

Lian shrugged with a smile, and didn't care, but he always believed that strength was the foundation of a wizard.

The Grangers were worried again, after all, these words came from the mouth of the school professor.

After measuring the data, Mrs. Malkin smiled and asked them to come back to pick up the clothes in two hours.

So they went to buy dragon leather gloves, cauldrons, telescopes and other necessities.

Lien also bought an extra small bag made of dragon skin, and then Lien cast a traceless stretching spell on it, transferring all his things into it.

"Here, maybe this will make it easier for you." Lean handed Hermione the non-marking stretch bag he had replaced.

Hermione blushed, and for a moment didn't know whether to take it, but finally took it.

The Grangers were already exhausted from carrying so many things. Although they could keep up with nutrition, they hadn't exercised for a long time.

But after putting everything into the non-marking stretch bag, Mr. Granger shook the bag and said in surprise: "This is very strange, why is it lighter?"

"Because the levitation spell was cast on the bag, which is a spell that can make objects float, which offset part of the weight to a certain extent." Hearing Mr. Granger's doubts, Lean replied.

A few people then came to the Yila owl shop, and Lean took a fancy to a horned owl with the blood of a speeding bird.Because it has the blood of a magical creature, the price is more than double that of other owls.

Hermione watched it for a long time, and finally decided not to buy pets under the persuasion of Professor McGonagall's "Hogwarts has a public owl".

Finally, after a few people picked up their clothes at Mrs. Malkin's robe shop, it meant that the trip to Diagon Alley was coming to an end.

"Okay, the necessities for you to go to school have been bought, here are your tickets." With that, Professor McGonagall handed over two golden tickets, "On September [-], King's Cross Station, nine and a quarter Don’t forget Platform [-], or you’ll have to wait another year for school.”

After Lean and Hermione made it clear, Professor McGonagall directly used Apparition to leave.

"Wait, she... is this teleportation?" Mr. Granger exclaimed as he watched Professor McGonagall disappear before his eyes.

"Apparition, a spell used to teleport, but to be honest, it's quite uncomfortable." Lean said, frowning, expressing his dissatisfaction with the uncomfortable feeling.

"I'll take my farewell here." Lean said politely, and then wanted to wave his wand and leave here through apparation.

"Wait, Lean. Maybe we can practice magic together this summer, I mean... I don't know where you live yet." Hermione asked, blushing.

After all, she was a little embarrassed to ask a strange boy's address, but she didn't seem to give up such an opportunity to communicate with the same kind.

After hearing this, Li En gave a wry smile and said, "Where I live, it might scare you to death if you tell me."

Hermione cast a puzzled look.

"Clear Street." Those few words made Mr. Granger feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

He hurriedly pulled Hermione and his wife behind him, but suddenly wanted to realize something, Mr. Granger smiled apologetically, and said "Sorry".

But he didn't mean to relax his vigilance at all.

Lean smiled at Mr. Granger, then bent over and said, "Farewell."

"Rin, maybe you can write me a letter during the summer vacation..."

These were the last words Lean heard before Apparating.

"Hermione, you'd better stay away from that kid."

Mr. Granger suddenly felt he'd better watch his daughter a little closer, and it wasn't just the kid from Clear Street.

But Mr. Granger didn't know that this was just the joy of Hermione's sudden finding of the same kind after a few years.

"Hermione, to be honest, I saw the wizarding world today. I think maybe the wizarding world is not so good for outsiders. Have you really decided to go to the so-called Hogwarts?" Mr. Granger Said to Hermione earnestly.

Hermione ignored her father's words and said seriously: "Of course, I want to go, and I bought a lot of books on the history of the wizarding world today, and I will try my best to understand the wizarding world."

Looking at his daughter who was trying to be strong, Mr. Granger didn't say much, just smiled and touched Hermione's head, and said with a smile: "What do you want to eat tonight, to celebrate your first entry into the wizarding world .”

"Then have some cake, okay?" Hermione's eyes lit up.

Because her father is a dentist, Hermione's daily polysaccharide desserts can be said to be pitifully small.

Mr. Granger thought for a while, then said, "Only a little."

"You are wonderful, Dad." Hermione gave her father a big hug.

Mr. Granger laughed.
