Harry Potter: The Grand Arcanist

In the hot summer, Diagon Alley is ushering in the annual shopping season, and Hogwarts students can be seen everywhere on the streets.

However, this year is slightly different from previous years. Diagon Alley is covered with wanted notices for Sirius Bright.

At this moment, in a corner of Diagon Alley, under an umbrella outside Florin's cold drink shop, Paz was enjoying Florin's new chocolate ice cream. The two of them were joking about the recent controversial Brett prison escape incident.

Paz scooped up a big mouthful of ice cream and put it into his mouth, and said to Florin sitting next to him,"Those people at the Ministry of Magic are completely neurotic."

"After all, this matter involves a mysterious man. Florin whispered:"I've seen that kid Bright several times before, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I heard that his target is Potter. For this reason, the Ministry of Magic is planning to let Azka Class guards were stationed at all entrances around the school, and Dumbledore was not happy about this at all."

"Dementors?"Paz raised his eyebrows.

"You may not have seen a Dementor, no one likes to deal with monsters like that."When Florin talked about Dementors, there was disgust on his face that could not be concealed.

"No, I've seen them before, it's no big deal, you can easily get rid of them as long as you know the Patronus Charm."Paz doesn't pay any attention to this kind of black magic monster with fatal weaknesses. Having weaknesses means that it can be targeted.

"But not every wizard can use such advanced magic like you."Florin shook his head, not ready to continue this topic. His eyes fell on the boy walking towards this side somewhere on the street, and he greeted him with a smile:"Good morning, Harry."

"Good morning, Mr. Florin. After Harry greeted the other person, he then moved his eyes to the person next to him and said,"Good morning, Mr. Lannister.""

"Good morning."

Florin got Porter an ice cream. The two of them seemed very familiar with each other. He also gave Porter some advice on his summer homework.

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and Qiu Zhang walked quickly towards this side. She was wearing ordinary Muggle casual clothes, her cheeks were rosy, and her breathing was rapid.

"Another ice cream."Paz said to Florin

"Okay, lady, what flavor do you want? Florin asked Qiu Zhang in a friendly manner.

"Strawberry flavor. Qiu Zhang sat down opposite Paz, took a few deep breaths, and asked,"Is Marietta here?""

"Didn't see it."Paz said

"Your strawberry ice cream. Florin smiled and rejected Xi Ke who was handed over by Qiu, and said:"This is free. It's hard to imagine that Lannister not only knows us old men, but also has a beautiful little girlfriend.""

Florin winked at Paz, his expression looked meaningful.

"Just ordinary friends. Qiu blushed and ate the ice cream. After Florin walked away, she raised her head and asked Paz:"Do you know the owner of this store?""

"We know each other, we have met several times before."Paz said

"How many times have you met?"Qiu Zhang looked at Paz suspiciously. She felt that Paz's old friends were all very powerful people. Could it be that Mr. Florin was also the same?

However, Qiu Zhang was soon distracted. She noticed that someone Looking at herself, she turned around and saw a young boy looking over under another parasol.

Qiu knew this man, smiled slightly at Harry, then turned to look at Paz and said:" I never had the chance to play against Potter, who was pretty good at Quidditch. However, I heard from my mother that Porter blew up his aunt……"

Although the sound was not loud, Harry heard it and laughed twice while burying his head in his summer homework.

The two chatted about trivial matters again, and after Qiu finished eating the ice cream, they went shopping together to buy items needed for the new semester.

When they passed by the Quidditch boutique, Qiu raised her eyebrows when she saw the Firebolt placed on the counter.

"This is the fastest broom in the world. It just came out and has already become a favorite in the World Cup!"The owner of the Quidditch boutique was introducing the sample brooms on the display cabinet to everyone, and he also secretly told everyone that the Irish international team had just ordered seven of these beautiful brooms!

"……Price negotiable."Qiu Zhang read the instructions next to the broom and murmured softly.

The price of the Firebolt was obviously shockingly expensive. She looked at Paz, a little curious about where the other party's Firebolt came from. Could it be that... Qiu Zhang didn't ask When the two walked away, she said to Paz:"Your Firebolt is different from the one on the counter."

"Um, I don't know too well. Paz said nonchalantly. Maybe Randolph made the broom more exquisite and special in order to please him!

The two of them strolled around Diagon Alley, and Qiu Zhang also made two new robes. At fifteen, she looked more mature than before, but she still didn't get rid of her girlishness. Finally, they met Marietta at Flourish Blossoms Bookstore, with a sad face, and risked being bitten. Trying to take out a copy of"The Monster Book of Monsters" from the iron cage》

"I really don't understand why Professor Kettleburn wants us to buy such a weird book. Marietta looked at the shopkeeper whose hands were bitten with scars with some sympathy, and said to Qiu and Paz.

"Professor Kettleburn has decided to retire."Qiu Zhang explained:"Now Rubeus Hagrid has taken over this position."

"I do not know how. Marietta said in surprise:"But is the ranger of the hunting ground really qualified to protect the position of professor of magical biology?" I doubt it"

"It might work! Qiu Zhang shook her head uncertainly. She turned to look at the manager and said,"Please give us two more copies of"The Monster Book of Monsters".》"

The manager almost cried, but finally gritted his teeth and took out two"Monster Books of Monsters" from the cage for the two of them.

After buying new books and leaving Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore, Qiu Zhang whispered to the two of them:"I don't understand, why don't they tie the books with ropes? This way, when others want to buy, they won't get bitten when they pick up the books." Got it"

"Who knows? Maybe the bookstore manager can't wrap his head around it. I dare say he must have been a Hufflepuff student before."Marietta said. The two spoke in a low voice, but the expression on the manager's face froze, obviously hearing it.
