Hogwarts Wizard of the Deep

Chapter 5 Shopping
The goblin's face was as black as coal, and his sharp teeth collided up and down, wishing he could bite Linde's face in the next second.

Felix supported Linde with one hand and the gun under the coat at his waist with the other, with a grim expression on his face.But Linde could see his eyes trembling, obviously he couldn't hold it anymore.

The goblin obviously didn't want to reach out to pick up the banknotes that Linde handed over, but looking into Linde's eyes, he was unconsciously frightened. He stepped on the chair unwillingly, stretched his hands straight up, and almost knocked him down. The balance on the table finally barely reached the banknote that Linde handed over.

"Of course, you little Muggle, forty Galleons an ounce."

"Muggle? Are you swearing? Maybe you want to try a Muggle wand."

Felix has just read the shopping list and has a general understanding of the basic system of wizards. Although he doesn't know if only young wizards use wands, it doesn't prevent him from using wands to describe his weapons.

"Muggles just describe ordinary people who don't know how to use magic, and nothing else." Snape hurriedly stopped Felix's thoughts.

Felix panted heavily, heheheed, and said nothing.He didn't understand the meaning, but he could hear the tone.

But Linde didn't pay much attention to their quarrel. What he was thinking about now was the issue of currency.

He was not surprised to be able to exchange gold for Galleons, although there is a magical alchemical creation that can convert gold, the Sorcerer's Stone.

But he doesn't think that gold can be easily converted without cost. You must know how difficult it is to generate gold.

The price of gold has been largely stable this year at an average price of 360 pounds an ounce.His current income is about 1 pounds per month, which was not too small in 3000.

But the UK is a country with high welfare and high taxes, and he only gets a little over 2000 pounds every month.

If the exchange rate is GBP→Gold→Galleon, it is equivalent to 9 pounds for 1 Galleon. Of course, the price of gold is never fixed and fluctuates somewhat.

But acceptable.

After that, none of them spoke, only the clanging of Garen.

After a while, the goblin ordered a heavy bag of 50 Galleons, and Linde took it over, and the three of them left Gringotts.

Felix put Linde down by the scruff of the neck, muttering "Brat!"

Snape smiled cryptically, and then pointed to an alley entrance, "It's Knockturn Alley, where dark wizards gather, and it's not very peaceful inside, so you'd better not go inside."

Then he reached out and took out a long piece of parchment from his robe and handed it to Linde.

Linde took the parchment and looked at it

This entire parchment is exactly the same as the purchase list that Linde had obtained before, except that it is marked with black handwritten English on the various places that need to be purchased.

Yes, yes, although Comrade Siefer doesn't like to talk, he is very thoughtful in his work!
Linde gave Snape a thumbs up in his heart.

However, when he looked up, he found that Snape had disappeared.

"Wow! Did you see that he disappeared in a flash. Did we come to London just like that?" Felix yelled from the side.

"Um, it should be!" Linde replied
"Let's go, let's go shopping. Don't forget we are in London." Linde urged.

The two stopped and went, and after a while, they bought everything except the wand and pets.

Felix and Linde each carried two small bags.One bag is full of books, another bag is filled with cauldrons, dragonhide gloves and other sundries, then there are bags for robes, and bags for potion ingredients.

These bags are all given by the store. For the convenience of carrying, the customer will be given a pocket that has been cast with a traceless stretching spell that lasts for a day.

The two came to the door of the wand shop.

The gold lettering on the door has peeled off, and it reads: Ollivander: Wandcrafted since 382 BC.Felix picks his nostrils with his little finger: "Bragging, 382 BC."

Linde smiled. He has been like this since the first day he met Felix, and he likes to say something when he sees everything.

Open the door and enter, the space inside is not as narrow as the store entrance.

On the contrary, there are long and small boxes on the high shelves. At a glance, there are at least a thousand wand boxes, and it is not known if all of them contain wands.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen!" A soft voice sounded from behind the shelves.

"You are Mr Lynde Green Augustus!
Great middle name, the Brothers Grimm are two of my favorite wizards.

My grandfather used to be good friends with them.Too bad they violated the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy of 1692.Because they like to tell Muggles about the wizarding events they have experienced. "

As he said that, the old wizard in front of him still showed an expression of reminiscence, and he didn't know whether he was pretending or really recalled the good memories of getting along with his grandfather at this moment.

"Oh yes, let's get down to business." Ollivander suddenly came to his senses.

"Ah, every wizard in England has a wand from the Ollivanders. Our family will always be the best in England.

By the way, which hand do you use? "

"I'm right-handed." Linde raised his hand as he said.

Next, a tape measure flew out of Ollivander's waist pocket and began to automatically measure Linde's body.

First measure from shoulder to fingertips, then from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and finally head circumference.

As he measured the tape, he said, "Every Ollivander wand has a super magical substance, that's the essence of it, Mr. Augustus. We use unicorn hair, phoenix tail feathers and dragon heart nerves etc, each Ollivander wand is unique as no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly alike. Of course, if you use a wand that should belong to another wizard, It will never have such a good effect.”

Linde reached out to block the ruler that was almost stuck to his eyes, and nodded to Ollivander.

Ollivander looked at the measured data, then rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and ran to the back shelf to pull out a box.

"Try this, aspen...suitable for duelists, dragon brains. This is a wand that loves fighting. Nine inches"

Ollivander took it out and handed it to Linde.

As soon as he got the wand, Linde felt a weak force in his body rushing towards the wand.

But this kind of surge is not silky smooth. If you have to describe it, it's like... It's like you pay special attention to your breathing, and it turns out that you can't breathe.

"Wave it." Seeing Linde in a daze, Ollivander thought he didn't know how to use a wand, so he motioned for him to wave.

Linde didn't know which direction to turn, so he simply waved towards the sky.

A faint flame burst out from the tip of the staff along with thick smoke.

"Sorry, it seems that it didn't like me!"

"No, no, no, you don't need to be sorry, this is a very normal thing, Mr. Augustus." Ollivander took the wand, waved it at the thick fog, and scattered it all out of the chimney.

"This one! The firm and independent ebony and the Yeqi tail nerve with powerful spellcasting ability, eleven and one-half inches in length."

"No, no, not this..."

"Um, try this again, larch wood and dragon's spine..."

"This one……"

"what about this……"

"What a picky little wizard, but don't worry, I'm a professional." Ollivander smiled confidently at Linde.

"Um, sir. My self-evaluation of myself may be relatively free and uninhibited." This is Linde's basic understanding of himself.

He feels that what he lacks most is "disrespect for the system and desire to challenge."

Hearing Linde's words, Ollivander nodded. Few young wizards could make an accurate assessment of their own psychology before, because they were still young, their minds were not fully developed, and their worldview was not perfect.

Therefore, he usually measures the body data and screens out a batch of wands, and then he personally looks at the faces to try the wands one by one.

Usually, you can find the right one after trying two or three. The last time I was in such trouble was Mr. Porter who came at the end of July.

He really couldn't stand Lin De's being too picky, and now he was losing face. After thinking about it, he still thought he could give his suggestion a try.

"Oh, of course we can try it if you want."

It's what you want to try, don't blame me if you don't try it...
