A day at Hogwarts

The employees of Lihen Bookstore had something to do again. They tied the "Invisible Book of Invisibility" with a rope a few times, so that they could know where the book was.

Charles found the book he was looking for and started picking out Christmas presents for the others.

Charles chose "Practical Household Magic" for Seamus, which contains relatively simple and frequently used magic, suitable for him to practice controlling the output of magic power in daily use.

Since this winter, Mrs. Finnigan has embarked on the path of becoming a master of the restoration spell.

Charles asked the manager to recommend a copy of "Atlas of Herbal Medicine in Western Europe", which weighed several kilograms, and then found out that there was also a copy of "Self-Defense Spell Collection", so he bought one of each and bought another copy for Neville.

And then there were the Weasley twins, who saw Twelve Ways to Charm a Witch at this point, and thought they were that age too, so they took down books like, "Tips for Handling Mischief" Looks good too, that's all.

Not long after, he saw "How Prefects Get Powered", which was a good gift for Percy, who took care of the younger students.

When Charles passed by a bookshelf, he picked up a copy of "Common Spells and Solutions" and gave it to Ron.

As for the presents for Harry and Hermione, they had already been printed out at a copy shop in the City of London just now, and they filled a sheet of A4 paper.

After choosing gifts for some familiar classmates and professors, Charles began to have a headache. He couldn’t think of what to give to Eleanor for a while. She might have already bought the book, and the things that other girls like don’t know what style she likes. Yeah, didn't talk about it at Hogwarts.

When he was in trouble in Diagon Alley, Jack walked over to him in a hurry and said, "Buy all the presents, go to the Owl Post Office to post them now, and then go to Saint-Etienne immediately."

Charles replied: "Basically, I have bought everything, but there is one thing missing that I haven't thought about."

Jack said as he walked, "Let's think about it on the way, maybe it's also sold in Saint-Etienne."

They came to the Owl Post Office in Diagon Alley, and Charles sent out all the gifts. At the same time, he saw the old man sent a box to Professor McGonagall. He didn't know what was in it.

The two left Diagon Alley, got into the car and left the city of London to go south.

Charles had never heard of Saint-Etienne, and thought that it might be a village like Godric's Hollow where wizards and ordinary people lived together. The old man might have heard about an old friend, so he hurried to rush over.

But he didn't expect that the old man kicked the accelerator, and the car flew across the English Channel to the Normandy area, and soon flew over the top of the Eiffel Tower. They didn't have GPS or other positioning means, so they followed the road on the ground with the help of landmarks at the height of the treetops Fly southeast.

Outside the car window, the Palace of Fontainebleau was behind, and Charles couldn't help asking Jack, "Grandpa, where is Saint-Etienne?"

Jack replied, "Near Lyons."

Charles thought to himself, this flight is really far enough, about 800 kilometers.

He looked at the sky, and there were two delta-winged fighter jets flying under the clouds. He didn't know how many times it was along the way. It seemed that the car was spotted by radar when the old man raised the altitude to find the direction of Paris.

Fortunately, the car is optically stealthy, and the altitude is low enough that the French Air Force did not find itself.

Jack drove the car and continued: "Ollivander told me just now that the little guy from the Taylor family made something he had been studying for many years. Ollivander just heard about it, and those of them Wand makers have their circles, but they don't know what they're making."

"I know what it is. The little guy met me when he was 20 years old and told me what he thought. I thought it was very interesting and gave him some funding."

Charles thought that this Thiel should be the same wand maker as Ollivander in France, and asked curiously: "What does he make? Is it some kind of new wand?"

Jack just replied indifferently: "I'll have a look, anyway, it's not the Gatling wand you've always wanted. Last time I asked Ollivander about it, the boat of friendship almost sank."

The question mark in Charles' heart is getting bigger and bigger.

As the evening approached, the car arrived at its destination, and when it stopped, Charles opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Just now, the old man's appearance changed into a Marlon Brando-like appearance within 10 seconds, as if pinching his face.

For the first time, Charles knew that he would change his appearance, and his eyes gradually glowed.

"You don't want to think about it now." Jack asked him for his own wand. "Wait until your Transfiguration is good enough."

Charles handed over the wand and asked curiously, "Which one is your real appearance?"

Jack just shrugged his shoulders without answering, got out of the car and took him on a path into the mountains near the city.

The two bumped into a big tree on the top of the mountain like rabbits, and a bustling village appeared in the originally lush valley.

The village is not big, and the houses are built along a stone road through the valley, and there are many wizards on the road.

Jack pointed down the mountain and said, "Go shopping, there are several famous craftsmen living here, and it is the place where the best magic items are sold in France."

After speaking, his figure disappeared.

Charles soon came to the village, which was almost as lively as Diagon Alley.

The only shops selling magic items on the street are broomstick shops, wand shops, clothing and jewelry shops, and a bookstore selling professional books, but these shops have played a role in driving the local economy. There are hawkers of various goods and a few restaurants.

Charles first took a rough walk, afraid to buy things from roadside stalls, and was deceived by going to tourist attractions in his previous life, so he walked into the store that sold clothing and jewelry.

The clothes sold here are all clothes with additional functions, such as men's boxers with the armor charm, and Charles bought a dozen without hesitation.

Then he bought another pair of gloves that could protect his hands, and then went to the jewelry area on the second floor to see if there were any suitable small jewelry for Eleanor.

The second floor is full of young people, many of them are choosing their favorite jewelry, while some are waiting to pay.

Charles bought a shiny hairpin, which can be worn on the head to avoid being beaten, and there is a gift for Eleanor.

At this time, the clerk next to her said to the customer in front of her: "I'm very sorry, this set of necklaces is not just for sale."

Charles was waiting for his things to be packed, turned his head, and his heart beat violently when he saw the customer beside him.
