Hogwarts and the Unspeakable

"Oh! My precious son. Are you sure you don't want to customize a suit?"

"Let me see, cloak, overalls, pointed hat, dragon leather gloves. Can they be customized?"

“Why would a family like ours need anything that isn’t customized?”

Sir Humphrey enthusiastically provided advice to his son.

"Father, I think I went to Hogwarts to learn knowledge and skills. I didn't go to show off my wealth!"

Allen smiled helplessly. His father was always too enthusiastic when it came to getting money for him, which bothered him a little.

"Okay, then, three sets of work clothes are not enough! Red, blue, green, purple, and yellow, here are ten for you!"

Sir Humphrey continued to prepare to buy things for his son.

"No! Don't do this, dad! (please)" (Xindaya's translation only needs one word: please)

"Even if you buy it, I don't know how big a place it will be to live in Hogwarts! Where can I put it?"

Allen said speechlessly.

The crowded dormitory of his previous life in college where nothing could fit left a very "deep" impression on him.

Let's call this kind of place where teachers are not teachers "university", although it is essentially just a research institute.

But they at least have a lot more to offer than research institutes, right? For example, student dormitories.

Cough cough, gossip less.

After passing "Mrs. Malkin's Robe Shop", we came to "Flourish and Blotts Bookstore".

"If you don't buy more clothes, at least buy more books, right? How about we buy every book in this store?"

Sir Humphrey proposed excitedly again.

Only then did Allen realize that his father was more excited than himself.

What aroused him? Something doesn't look right.

Showing off your wealth is not the behavior of a gentleman who says, "I'm not interested in money."

Allen smiled secretly.

"Don't look at Harry Potter getting into the news so easily. Your father and I will also go to the radio station to record a program in a while!"

Allen knew in his heart that civil servants were not politicians, so what good programs could they get?

It's nothing more than a time when no one is watching, and a format for people who are not interested in it with little audience rating.

But on the surface, Allen is very envious.

"Wow! Dad is amazing!"

Alan looked very excited.

"Humph." Sir Humphrey showed a proud smile. Only then did he feel the bad breath in his heart.

God should condemn them. It’s okay for these politicians to be in the news more easily than themselves. They can’t survive without being in the news;

It doesn’t matter that those beauties from The Sun who don’t wear tops are easy to make news. After all, they are prettier and younger than me;

But Harry Potter! Just a little brat! He is also much more famous than himself!

This makes the noble Sir Humphrey very unhappy! He believed that his honor had been challenged. But as a gentleman, what can he do to a child with a miserable life experience? I could only sulk silently and curse my profession silently. Forget it. James Potter, well, another born politician, exactly like his son.

Sir Humphrey secretly cursed a few words in his heart, but he did not say a bad word in front of his son.

The non-profit relationship in childhood is the most precious, how could he be willing to destroy it so easily?

"Okay baby boy" Sir Humphrey shrugged. "I have ordered all these books a long time ago, but you can still go to the bookstore and browse. Any book you choose, dad will buy it for you today!"

"Forget it. I haven't read the books in the Hogwarts library yet. I plan to keep reading there."

Alan yawned. He really has no interest in this kind of popular reading material. Or "The Bizarre Adventure of Gilderoy Lockhart", which looks fun, but is actually full of loopholes. The internal logic of individual chapters is acceptable, but the overall logic is completely clueless - well, this kind of The evaluation is actually because Alan has long known Gilderoy Lockhart's true face.

Either "The Secret History of Sir Merlin", "Mind Reading", or "Brainwashing". This kind of thing looks very powerful, but in fact it is either a three-page tabloid with a different method, or it is Chicken Soup for the Soul with a different skin. In fact, even the toilet paper in the toilet is more valuable than them - at least the toilet paper in the toilet can wipe the butt.

Even large books, such as "History of British Magic" and "Ancient European History", are long-winded and meaningless. If you remove the author's meaningless nonsense, what is left is a bunch of meaningless code words. Historical years, he has already remembered the things that are truly worth remembering.

So, on the whole, these bookstores had no appeal for him—not at all.

Not at all.

Alan also followed his father's example and shrugged.

"In that case, I have no interest in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore."

Allen said decisively, looking like a little adult.

However, he looks very young, which makes Allen look particularly cute.

Sir Humphrey laughed and touched Alan's head lovingly.

"Inexplicable." Allen rolled his eyes.

"Okay! It seems that my precious son has no interest in buying these scraps."

"That's right. After all, we have a lot of these things at home. You grew up touching crucibles, so it's normal that you don't like these."

"In that case, let's go buy you a wand now."

Sir Humphrey couldn't hold back his excitement.

A little wizard's first wand is a key step toward the wizarding world.

He vaguely remembered that his father brought him to this "Ollivander's" to buy a wand.

The sign has been changed, many times, but "Ollivander" has remained the same and is still called that.

In the blink of an eye, he was gone. Even my own children are so old that they really have to go to school.

Really, a lot has changed.

Hogwarts is about to start school, and "Ollivander" is taking a rare opportunity to clean up its shop.

This would at least make business better.

Ollivander: Made exquisite wands since 382 BC.

In the small display window, there was a wand on a cushion - just one.

"Hello, Mr. Ollivander. (Mr.)"

Sir Humphrey greeted with a smile.

The little old man took off his glasses, as if he couldn't believe it.

"The noble Mr. Humphrey Appleby, it's you! (Lord)"

"The Guardian said that you are going to succeed the Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Magic. Is it true?"

"It's not yet (notyet). Obviously you can't believe everything the newspaper says." (notyet, not yet, implies that it will be in the future.) When Ollivander heard this, his eyes showed "I understand, I understand." "A mysterious smile - even though he didn't know the truth, he really thought that Sir Humphrey was going to take over from Sir Arnold! Well, although it is indeed very possible based on historical trajectory. Perhaps Mr. Ollivander succeeded in killing the mouse?

Knowing this, when Ollivander came over to talk to Lord Alan Appleby, his attitude was naturally more cordial. Although at the request of Sir Humphrey, people generally call him (sir), so people often call Alan (Mr.). However, realizing that Sir Humphrey had a bright future, Ollivander began to call Alan "Little Sir". (Lord)

Rich has distant relatives in the mountains.

But coincidentally, Sir Humphrey was in a bad mood before, and this time, his flattery was on point!

Jazz looked at Ollivander with a bit more kindness and less alienation. Perhaps, this will play a big role in the future.

Then, Ollivander began to choose a wand for Allen.
