Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Mrs. Weasley, where should we go to buy wands, you know it's my first time in Diagon Alley." Ivan said awkwardly.

"Honey, we're going to Ollivander's, you and Ginny both need a new wand." Mrs. Weasley turned to look at Ivan with a smile, "But we have to hurry up, we still need a new wand." With so much to buy and Gilderoy Lockhart's book signing today, we can't be late."

"Ghidroy Lockhart?!" Ivan frowned, "I saw books that needed him on the school's book list, and I don't know what the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor thinks. The prices of those books Not cheap."

"Yeah, maybe your new teacher is an admirer of Lockhart. After all, he is so great, but buying five sets of Lockhart's books at once is indeed too expensive." Mrs. Weasley looked a little worried, " Sorry, Ginny, I think you'll need to buy second-hand for a lot of stuff this year."

"It's okay, Mom!" Ginny seemed to have known about this for a long time, she couldn't see how frustrated she was, she winked at Ivan, and whispered, "My mother is very fascinated by Lockhart, she adores him .”

"Don't talk nonsense, Ginny!"

Mrs. Weasley blushed, "Sometimes, you have to admit that a great wizard like him is indeed very attractive."

Is it especially attractive to middle-aged and elderly women? Aiwen put his hands on his forehead. He doesn't have any good feelings for Lockhart, a big liar. Anyway, he will be exposed sooner or later. He doesn't want to continue chatting on this topic.

In fact, it was Ginny who surprised him even more.

This little girl is no longer as shy as she was when I first met her. As long as Harry is not in front of her eyes, she immediately returns to her normal state, a very talkative and energetic little girl.

Along the way, she told Ai Wen a lot about things in her home.

It can be seen that, unlike Ron, Ginny really doesn't care about using the second-hand items dumped by her brothers, except for one thing, which is to use second-hand school uniforms, which makes her very frustrated.

While chatting, the three of them came to a small and dilapidated shop.

The gold lettering on the door has peeled off, and it reads: Ollivander: Wands made since 380 BC.

A wand stood alone on a faded purple upholstery in a dusty window.

As they entered the shop there was a tinkling of bells from somewhere at the back of the shop.Ai Wen looked around, the shop was very small, there was nothing but a bench in front of the counter.

Not far away, there are thousands of long and narrow cardboard boxes stacked almost to the ceiling.

There are all kinds of wands inside. For some reason, Ai Wen suddenly felt hairy in his heart. The dust and silence here seem to make people feel that mysterious magic is hidden.

Mrs. Weasley led them to wait on the bench, and after a while, a soft voice came from the shop.

Chapter 6 Alvin's Wand

"Good morning!" said an old man with very light pupils, standing in front of them. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Molly Prewett. What a delight. Twelve inches long, cherry wood, stronger , that's a fine wand for magic."

"Yes, Mr. Ollivander, I like this wand very much." Mrs. Weasley hurriedly stood up and said hello, "This child is Irving Mason, this is my daughter Ginny Weasley, they are both Hogwarts is new this year and needs to buy a new wand."

"Of course, of course!" Ollivander turned his gaze to Ginny and Ivan standing aside, "Wizards need a wand to cast magic, but remember, it is the wand that chooses the wizard!"

Aiwen swallowed, not sure how to answer the other party.

"Okay, let me take a look!" Ollivander did not pause, he took out a long tape measure with silver scales from his pocket, and came to Ginny, "Ladies first, Ms. Weasley, Which hand do you use your wand with?"

"Right hand!" Ginny replied in a low voice.

"Put your arms up, please." Ollivander measured Ginny, first from shoulder to fingertips, then from wrist to elbow, shoulder to floor, knee to armpit, and finally head circumference.

While measuring, he explained to Ginny and Ivan, "Every Ollivander wand has a super-strong magic substance, which is its essence. We usually use unicorn hair , phoenix tail feathers and dragon nerves, 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.”

"Always remember this, the wand chooses the wizard!"

After he finished speaking, he disappeared among the densely packed shelves. Before Ivan could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw him walking out with a box.

"There is no doubt that the Weasleys are very susceptible to unicorns, there is no doubt about it," said Ollivander softly, "try this one, fourteen inches, ebony, unicorn Mao, it's a little bent."

Ginny had just held it in his hand when he took it back.

"No, I think it should be this one, made of willow and unicorn hair, eight and a half inches long, and very elastic!"

As soon as Ginny took it, a red light burst out from the tip of the wand she was holding, like gold stars shooting out like fireworks, and the dancing light spots were cast on the four walls.

"Extraordinary combination, very suitable for manipulating spells, you will definitely get good grades in the spell class." Immediately afterwards, Ollivander turned to look at Ivan, and said softly, "Mr. Mason, I think this round it's your turn."

Like Ginny, Ivan is also used to using the wand with his right hand. He also measures the size first, but his selection process is not as simple as Ginny.

Ivan tried one after another, but he was snatched by Ollivander as soon as he held it in his hand, which made him look a little silly.

"Like Mr. Porter last year, he is a picky customer, but it doesn't matter, you can always find the most ideal, perfect, and most suitable one here!" Ollivander looked very happy, "Let me think about it Thought, oh, there it is, fourteen-and-a-half inches, vinewood, with a Thestral tail feather core, the last wand my great-grandfather ever made, who was a very famous master wandmaker in his day."

As soon as Ivan received it in his hand, a stream of heat gushed out from between his fingers, and a white halo emanated from the tip of the wand, like ripples in the water, spreading outward in circles.

"Wonderful, very wonderful!" Ollivander's voice became softer, "I don't like using thestral tail feathers very much, but I have to say, Mr. Mason, you and this wand are indeed a very wonderful combination."

"I'm sorry, sir!" When there were only the two of them left in the room, Ivan asked in a low voice, "What made you feel strange just now?"

Ivan was really curious. The inner core of the wand in his hand was the tail feathers of thestrals, which was different from other wands made by Ollivander.

"As we all know, thestrals are considered a symbol of bad luck." Ollivander stared at Ivan with milky white pupils, "This is a very strange substance, and only wizards who can control death can control it."

Ollivander’s voice seemed to be floating down from the sky. Hearing his explanation, Ivan had the urge to throw away the wand in his hand. It was weird, dead, and unlucky. He didn’t want to be considered a Successor of the Dark Lord.

"Mr. Mason, the magic power you emitted just now has a very strong positive energy. It is an energy that is completely opposite to the tail feathers of thestrals, so I would say it is very wonderful." Ollivander leaned close to Ivan's face, his voice low It was like a whisper, "Remember, it is the wand that chooses the wizard, Mr. Mason, and there is no doubt that you will achieve great things in the future."

Ivan was horrified, and felt that all his secrets had been seen through. He was sure that he would not like this Mr. Ollivander.

After leaving the wand shop, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, Mrs. Weasley led Ivan and Ginny to Madam Malkin's robe store, but compared to before, Ginny's interest was very low, because she wanted to choose a uniform from those old robes that suited her. .

Aiwen found that this was simply too cruel, especially when he asked Mrs. Malkin to measure his size, while looking at Ginny's sad expression not far away, he felt like a sinner.

"Mrs. Weasley, thank you for inviting me to your home."

"Dear Ivan, you don't have to be so polite. You and Harry are good boys. Arthur and I welcome you to our home very much." Mrs. Weasley came over, rubbed Ivan's hair, and looked gratified.

"Thank you, I want to give you a gift as a thank you!"

Aiwen said awkwardly, "If you don't mind, I want to give Ginny a new robe."

"No, child, this is too expensive!" Mrs. Weasley looked shocked, and Ginny, who was standing aside, looked up expectantly.

"To me, it's nothing." Ai Wen continued speaking quickly, as if seeing that Mrs. Weasley wanted to refuse and didn't give the other party time to react, "You can treat it as a gift from me to Kim. A Christmas present from Ni, we're friends after all."

More than ten minutes later, with the joint efforts of Ivan's persistent persuasion, Ginny's expectant gaze, and Mrs. Malkin's agreement to give a very reasonable discounted price, Mrs. Weasley finally agreed to accept the gift.

In the next second, she hugged Aiwen tightly in her arms. Looking at Ginny with a flushed face and Mrs. Malkin's half-smile expression, Aiwen was embarrassed for a long time.

Chapter 7 The Dispute at Lihen Bookstore

Because it would take time to make new robes, Mrs. Weasley agreed to let Alvin and Ginny go shopping for other items on the school list first, and then meet up at the Lihen Bookstore together.

Of course, Ivan is mainly buying.

Ginny has a lot to inherit from his brother, Percy became a prefect this year and got a dozen more OWLS certificates, Mrs Weasley bought him new school supplies, so there's a lot eliminated.

"Ivan, thank you, this is the best Christmas present I've ever received!" Ginny thanked Ivan with a flushed face, as if she was looking at Harry.

"Don't be stupid, that's just an excuse to get Mrs. Weasley to agree. I will give you other things for Christmas." Thinking of what Ginny might encounter this year, Ivan continued, "I think a red A diary with a cover is a good choice."

"Well, that's not a bad idea. I can send you back a black one then."

"That's exactly what I need!" Ivan added in his heart, if there was Mr. Tom Riddle's autograph on it, it would be more perfect.

The two walked on the cobblestone-paved zigzag street, and the shops along the street hawked from time to time, and the coins in Aiwen's pocket rang happily, asking Aiwen to spend them loudly.

However, after browsing a few magic shops and knowing about the prices in the magic world, Ai Wen gradually felt a little chilly in his heart.Compared to what I want to buy, the Galleons in my pocket are not enough.

In fact, for a freshman at Hogwarts, the gold Galleons in Aiwen's hands are definitely a huge sum of money, but there are too many things he wants to buy if he is not satisfied with the items on the school list.

"Looks like I'm going to find a way to make money!"

Although Aiwen can ask his parents for some more money, but this is not long-term, they will not give a child too much money, especially the many things Aiwen wants to buy are not what a student should have.

For how to make money, he has a preliminary idea in his mind, but it will not be realized until Hogwarts.

Next, under the leadership of Ginny, Aiwen bought the tin crucible needed on the school list, a high-quality balance for measuring medicines, and a foldable brass telescope.At the pharmacy, the two bought standard doses of medicinal materials, which can be used in the first-year potions class.In addition, there are quills, ink, and parchment for recording.

Passing by a magical creature shop, neither of them went in.

Ivan thought about it. He is not planning to buy pets at the moment, because his mother is allergic to birds. Except for owls, other pets are not helpful to wizards at all, and it is too troublesome to take care of them in turn.

However, he has a mail order list for almost every store on Diagon Alley.Additional materials may need to be purchased here as you prepare for upper-division courses.

Aiwen is very aware of how many troubles he will encounter in the next few years. He cannot study slowly according to the textbook, especially since he is still one grade lower than the savior.

When Harry's trio was running around the world in the seventh grade, he actually had to stay obediently in school and be tortured by Death Eaters. It was a very scary thing to think about.

Along the way, Alvin and Ginny chatted very happily, and the two quickly became good friends.

At the Bouncy Magic Joke Shop, they come across Fred, George and Lee Jordan, who are bulk buying "Dr.

In a junk shop full of battered wands, wobbly copper scales, and old medicine-stained cloaks, they found Percy engrossed in a very dull book, How Prefects Got Power .

The two didn't bother Percy in the past. They passed by Florin's Cold Drink Shop. Ivan bought two big pieces of chocolate lemon ice cream for himself and Ginny. When they wandered into a dark alley, they saw Harry, Luo En and Hermione ran out of Knockturn Alley with pale faces.

Behind them, Hagrid, the burly gamekeeper, was yelling at the three of them, "Walk around in Knockturn Alley, don't you know, it's not a good place, Harry, don't let people see you there!"

"You went to Knockturn Alley, Mom won't let us go there." Ginny leaned over with a worried face.

"Go away, Ginny!" Ron waved his hand impatiently.

"Wait, Ron!" Harry glanced at Ivan and explained hesitantly, "We saw Draco Malfoy, and he and his father went to the Borginburg store, which is a store that sells A shop for dark magic items."

"Harry!" Ron raised his voice, obviously, he didn't want his little sister to know these things.

"Oh, then what did you find?" Ivan asked curiously, ignoring Ron's overreaction.

"Nothing, we watched from the outside window for a long time until they left, and we didn't see them buying anything!" Hermione turned and looked at Hagrid, "Hagrid, we are following Malfoy, you What are you doing in Knockturn Alley?"

"I'm looking for a medicine to drive away the meat-eating slugs, they're almost ruining the school's cabbages!" Hagrid looked at Ivan and said gruffly, "You should be the Ivan that Harry told me about." Mason, thank you for helping him out of that house, those nasty Muggles, if only I knew..."

Before Hagrid finished speaking, he saw Mrs. Weasley hurried over with a newly made robe, behind her was Mr. Weasley, and the parents of Irving and Hermione.

Immediately afterwards, she knew that Harry and the others had gone to Knockturn Alley.

"Knockturn Alley! Thanks for finding him, Hagrid!"

"Well, I'm leaving." Hagrid was a little embarrassed, his hand was being tightly held by Mrs. Weasley, "Children, see you at Hogwarts!"

After Hagrid disappeared from the street, Mrs. Weasley turned around and reprimanded the three severely. On the contrary, Mr. Weasley was very interested in what Harry said.

"Obviously, he's going to sell things, and he's scared!" said Mr. Weasley solemnly and with satisfaction. "Oh, I really want to catch evidence of Lucius Malfoy."

"Be careful, Arthur!" Mrs. Weasley warned him. "That family is not easy to mess with. Don't bite the bones you can't chew."

"You think I can't beat Malfoy?" Mr. Weasley said angrily, but his attention was quickly attracted by a large group of people outside Lihen Bookstore.

Most of them were witches of Mrs. Weasley's age, and they all crowded at the door, wanting to go in. Through the gaps in the crowd, everyone saw Gilderoy Lockhart in blue wizard robes, sitting in the shop Book signing in the middle.

All around him were large photographs of himself, faces all winking at the crowd, teeth gleaming with dazzling whiteness.

Although the other party is a magic idiot, Ivan has to admit that Lockhart is a successful writer, if he doesn't steal other people's experience.

Needless to say, Harry was discovered by Lockhart without any accident, and he pulled him in to take a photo together. Lockhart announced that he would teach at Hogwarts.When everyone came back to their senses, they found that Mr. Weasley and Lucius Malfoy were fighting. Lockhart, who was standing aside, was very excited, and then the two were separated by Hagrid who suddenly appeared.

"Little girl, take your book, this is the best thing your father can give you!"

Lucius Malfoy broke free from Hagrid's arm, waved to Draco, and rushed out of the shop.

"You shouldn't be talking to him, Arthur." Hagrid reached out to smooth Mr. Weasley's robes and almost lifted him up. "This guy is very bad, his whole family is, everyone knows it. Mal The Fu family is not worth listening to. Their blood is bad, that's all."

Everyone's attention was focused on Mr. Weasley, and Ivan had been observing the tattered "Beginner's Guide to Transformation" in Ginny's hand. If nothing else, there should be some A black diary.

After Lucius Malfoy left, the clerk of Lihen Bookstore seemed to want to stop them too, but seeing Hagrid's extraordinary figure and Ivan's next very considerable order, he will soon Put the fight to the back of your mind.

"Aiwen, what are you doing? Do you want to evacuate the Lihen Bookstore?" Ron watched in surprise as Aiwen quickly scratched across the book list in his hand, which included all the books stored in the Lihen Bookstore. Probably more than [-] copies.

"How is it possible? I don't have that much money. I'm choosing what I need." Of course, Aiwen couldn't buy all these books at once. purchase.

"Oh, that's a lot!"

"It's never a bad thing to learn more, Ron!"

"Dude, you really sound like Hermione." Ron leaned forward and saw Aiwen pick out "Advanced Potion Making" by Professor Libaciu Balach, "Ah, I was in Bill I read this book there, and this is something that is only needed in the NEWT advanced wizard level exam."

"I think Ai Wen is right, there is no harm in previewing in advance!" Hermione looked at Ai Wen's book list, and happily added a few magic books that would only be used in senior grades, by the way Suggested, "Aiwen, I think we should check the book list later, so as to avoid duplication."

"Of course, Hermione!" Ivan agreed happily.

"Harry, they're both crazy!"

"You're right, Ron!" Harry hesitated, and picked up a copy of "Curses and Anti-Curses" by Professor Wendick, which he wanted to buy last year, but Hagrid didn't let him buy it, " Still, it's really necessary to learn more, especially when dealing with Malfoy, isn't it?"

Chapter 8 Life at the Burrow

Considering the convenience of carrying, Aiwen didn't buy too many things, but he placed a lot of orders until he used up all the Galleons in his pocket. These things will be divided into batches by owls when school starts Send to Hogwarts.
