The Transformers at Hogwarts

Chapter 101 The Conflict at Lihen Bookstore

Harry, Ron, Alan and Hermione wandered the winding cobbled streets.

Those Galleons and Copper Knuts rang happily in Alan's pocket, begging to spend them.

So he bought four large pieces of strawberry and peanut butter ice cream. This was the first time he was so generous. They ate ice cream comfortably and wandered in the alley, browsing the dazzling shop windows.

Ron stared reluctantly at the full set of Chudley Cannon robes displayed in the window of the Quidditch boutique, and he couldn't walk. In the end, Alan and Hermione forcibly dragged him away.

Finally when they came to Lihen Bookstore, they were surprised to find a large group of people crowded outside the store, all wanting to go in.

A large banner was pulled up upstairs:

Guidro Lockhart
Autobiography "I Can Be Magical" signed for sale

12:30-4:30 pm today
"We can see him in person!" cried Hermione excitedly. "I mean, he's written almost all the books on the list!"

Most of the crowd seemed to be middle-aged witches, and the line was very long. Hermione and Ron squeezed into the crowd with Harry and Allen, and brought them to the place where the Weasleys lined up.

Ron introduced Alan to his mother, Mrs. Weasley, and sister Ginny, and Hermione introduced Alan to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Granger.

Allen hurried forward and greeted them politely: "Mrs. Weasley, thank you very much for the sweater you gave me for Christmas. I like it very much!"

"As long as you like it, and thank you for taking care of little Ronnie at Hogwarts." Mrs. Weasley said, but her attention didn't seem to be on Ellen.

She was breathing heavily and kept patting her hair, "We'll see him in a moment"

Alan wisely didn't continue the chat. He continued to talk to the Grangers, but the Grangers had already spoken first.

"Are you the Mr. Pig-nosed that Hermione often tells us? I don't mean to offend, but I'm very curious about you. Hermione told us a lot about you at home." The Grangers have already observed Alan For a long time.

Allen couldn't help looking at Hermione, who had already picked up a book guiltyly, pretending to be concentrating on it
Allen had to deal with the Grangers by himself: "I have nothing magical, but magic is magic."

Mr. Granger said with great interest: "I don't know much about the magic that Hermione learned, but I am a doctor, so I can appreciate your magic even more. What happened when you conjured a pig's nose?" Feeling? How does it feel when your sense of smell becomes sharper."

The Grangers glanced at Allen inadvertently, as if they were looking for something, but their self-cultivation did not allow him to ask directly.

For the first time, Allen found a doctor with a high thirst for knowledge so difficult, and he was dry-mouthed to deal with various problems of the Grangers.
On the one hand, he was glad that the rabbit's tail was randomly picked up today, and he couldn't see it at all when he tucked it in his pants. If he randomly picked up other parts that were not easy to hide, and the Grangers saw it, it would be even more difficult for him to get out.

Finally, he seized an opportunity and quickly said to the Grangers, "I'm here to buy books today. I see that the books over there are almost sold out. I have to go and have a look."

The Grangers reluctantly ended the conversation.

Allen quickly grabbed a tired clerk: "Sir, how much is the complete set of Gilderoy Lockhart's works?"

The clerk glanced at Allen and said, "Students from Hogwarts, Gilderoy Lockhart's complete set of books totals 7 Galleons in seven volumes."

Allen opened his mouth wide in surprise, and asked eagerly, "Why is it so expensive? Aren't the textbooks used at Hogwarts only one Galleon?"

"You just don't pay attention to the news of the wizarding world at first glance. Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart is an internationally renowned person and writer, a recipient of the third class of the Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic League, and a five-time winner of "Wizard Weekly" The most charming smile award, look at the scene today, the book he wrote is very popular, and it will definitely be more expensive!" The clerk looked at Alan with a half-smile.

"But, even if it's expensive, it can't be that much more expensive. It's four times as expensive as ordinary books." Allen wanted to argue with the clerk again.

But the clerk has gone to maintain order
Allen stared blankly at the book in his hand, he was a little out of breath by the "28 Galleons" that the clerk said.
You know, this is 93.33333% of his current total cash!
Are those cuties who just arrived in my pockets going to leave me like this?Allen thought a little brokenly in his heart, he felt that the tail in his pants couldn't stand up.

At this time, Hermione also noticed Alan's hesitation, and she leaned over and said softly: "Mr. Lockhart is an amazing person, and the content in these books is his real experience!"

Allen flipped through Lockhart's complete set of books. The titles of the books were all very attractive, and the contents were all related to Defense Against the Dark Arts. This made Allen a little shaken. You must know that Defense Against the Dark Arts is his key point. Courses of interest!
At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd, and then a voice came out clearly: "This September, I will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

Hermione said excitedly: "It's Mr. Lockhart. I didn't expect that he would become our teacher. It seems that Professor Dumbledore's efforts to strengthen the education of Defense Against the Dark Arts are really impressive. Looking forward to it!"

"That's right! The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is too much for the teacher! I heard that the teacher changes every year!" Allen complained.

Hermione glared at Allen and said, "Mr. Lockhart is a very powerful person. He must be able to teach us for several years!"

However, these words still completely shook Allen, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

At this time Harry squeezed out from the crowd, holding all Lockhart's works in his arms, and he came to Alan panting.

"Alan, you haven't bought Lockhart's book, have you given this set to you, I'll buy another set!" Harry put the book in front of Alan.

Allen quietly rolled his eyes, thinking silently in his heart: Even if I eat soft rice, I can't eat your bowl of soft rice!

But this also prompted him to make up his mind, no matter how poor he is, he can't afford poor education!

So he patted the book in front of him and said, "I just paid, you can give it to someone else!"

In this way, Harry believed Alan's words, and he took the pile of books away with good intentions, and prepared to give them to Ginny.

Seeing Harry's disappearing figure, Alan felt a little regretful in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
Allen quickly cleaned up the messy thoughts in his mind. He paid 28 Galleons for the pain. Fortunately, he had an old copy of the book "Standard Spells, Level 1", which could save [-] Galleon.

Then he saw a sign in the bookstore that said: "Dispose of old parchment notebooks, one gold Galleon and ten copies!"

There are a bunch of old notebooks under that signboard, both large and small. Allen has always needed a lot of parchment to record the ancient runes, and the price is actually very good.

He went up and looked through and found that these notebooks were in good condition, although they were a bit old and the style was a bit old, but there were no signs of mold or use.

So he chose 10 of them and paid the bill together.

Then he found himself down to a few silver Sickles and some copper Knuts, and he felt the weight of the strawberry peanut butter ice cream he had just eaten.
The plan to buy happy water in the fat house is also shattered, so let's collect the remaining money!The little tail hidden in the pants seemed to feel Alan's mood, and became dejected
Allen looked at the seven thin volumes of Lockhart's books on his left and the thick stack of notebooks on his right. He sincerely hoped that Lockhart's books would be worth their money.
He struggled to pack his schoolbag, found Harry and his party in the crowd, and prepared to meet them.

But this pack of books was too heavy. Alan gritted his teeth and found them, and put the books and notebooks he bought into a cauldron beside Ginny
"There's Ginny's book in the cauldron, why did you put your book in there?" Ron noticed Alan's behavior.

"This pack of books is too heavy! I can't hold them anymore, I just need to sort them out. All I bought are Lockhart's books and some old notebooks. They won't be confused with Ginny's books. "Alan panted for himself to distinguish.

At this time, a familiar and annoying voice came, "What's the difference between some broken books, oh, no! This pile of broken books must have cost you all your belongings, and you will be hungry in the next month." !"

Alan knew who the owner of this voice was without looking back, he was too familiar with Draco Malfoy's voice.

"Oh!" Allen said quietly, without even looking at him.

Draco felt as if he had punched him in the air.

So he pointed his gun at Harry again, "Is Potter so picky with your new girlfriend? Just a set of books?"

Ginny's face suddenly became as red as her hair, and Ron next to him couldn't bear it anymore. He strode towards Draco, and Ellen and Harry quickly grabbed him.

People around also noticed the movement here, and Allen saw Mr. Weasley and the Weasley twins walking towards this side.

"What's going on?" asked Mr. Weasley, looking very mild.

"It turned out to be you, Arthur Weasley!" A haughty voice came over.

Allen turned his head and saw that he was a middle-aged wizard with pale blond hair, cold gray-blue eyes, and pale pointed face. His temperament was cold, and his domineering temperament was very similar to Draco.

He put a hand on Draco's shoulder, a mocking smile on his face.

"Lucius Malfoy!" said Mr. Weasley indifferently.

Allen knew immediately that this was Draco Malfoy's father.

Lucius Malfoy walked slowly to Ginny's cauldron, and pulled out a tattered "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" from it in disgust.

"Tsk tsk tsk! They are so poor that even the parchment is used up!" Lucius said slowly.

"That disgusting pile of parchment belongs to Phoenix, Ellen Phoenix!" Draco finally gritted his teeth and repeated Alan's name.

Lucius looked at Allen in surprise, "You are that Phoenix? Hogwarts is really depraved now, accepting everything, next time I will talk about it at the school board."

Draco gave Alan an ugly smile when he heard this.

Allen watched all this expressionlessly, unmoved at all, as if what he just said was not him.

Lucius glanced at Allen in surprise, and continued to turn his gun.

"Arthur, you are getting more and more depraved, look at who you are dating every day!" Lucius glanced at the Granger couple who hadn't quite figured out the situation with disgust, "But you pure The scum in the blood wizard is not doing well either! They only prepare these things for their own daughters!"

The next moment, Mr. Weasley threw Ginny's cauldron at Lucius, and then Mr. Weasley jumped on it. A bookshelf was pushed down by two people, and a pile of books fell on their heads.

In the end, everyone hurried up and pulled them away.

Lucius covered his injured eyes, ruthlessly threw the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" back into Ginny's cauldron, and said viciously to Ginny: "Take it! This is the best your father can give you. something!"

After speaking, he took Draco away without looking back.

The Grangers were horrified by the scene, with Hermione and Alan beside them comforting them non-stop.

Harry and Ron went to comfort Ginny.

Mrs. Weasley babbled on about Mr. Weasley, who she thought was giving the children a bad head.
Finally, everyone's emotions calmed down, and Allen began to go to Ginny's cauldron to sort the books he bought.

He quickly picked out the books he bought, but was stopped by Ginny when he was about to leave.

"Ellen, is this yours?" She asked Allen, holding an old notebook with a black cover in her hand, "I didn't buy a notebook today."

"Oh, that should be mine! I bought a lot of old notebooks today! Thank you!" Allen took the notebook from Ginny.
Then the group bid farewell to each other, and Mr. Weasley invited Alan to visit his house when he was free, and Alan happily agreed.

Hermione also came up to Alan and quietly asked Alan what she had randomly picked up today, and Alan told her in a low voice.

At the last parting, he found that Mr. and Mrs. Granger had been quietly looking at his upturned ass
When Allen returned to the wand shop, he saw a few little wizards waiting to try out their wands. Mr. Ollivander was nervously taking various measurements for the little wizards. Allen quickly put the book back in his room, begin assisting Mr. Ollivander.
Finally, all the little wizards bought wands they were satisfied with and left happily.

Mr. Ollivander communicated with Allen and said: "These two days are the time when Hogwarts sends out notices to first-year freshmen every year, and it is also the busiest time for our wand shop, so you need to be there all the time these few days It's on the job."

Allen quickly stated that he would stick to his post these days.

Mr. Ollivander is very satisfied with Alan's attitude.
In the evening, Alan lay on his little bed, wagging his little tail weakly, and fell into deep thought. He was thinking about whether to continue the transformation of the magic wand talent today, because if a strange thing happened randomly, it would scare the guests away
But he thought about it again, Ollivander's wand shop itself had a monopoly in Diagon Alley, and it was the only one with no other semicolons, so there was no situation that would scare away the business.

As for whether it will scare people, the people who come to buy wands are all first-year wizards who are going to enter Hogwarts this year. Even if they are not scared by him tomorrow, they will be scared by him after enrollment, but it will be sooner or later. It's just a problem, so don't worry about it.

If something strange is transformed, it should be regarded as the first lesson taught by the senior to the juniors!Allen thought irresponsibly.

After a while he fell asleep with his wand in hand.
　I have a question that I would like to ask the big guys to help me answer. Do the school rules that prohibit minors from casting spells outside the school have to be obeyed in a wizarding settlement like Diagon Alley?Or will the act of casting spells be regulated by the Ministry of Magic?Although the literal meaning is like this, I still want to confirm it.
