Travel from Hogwarts

Chapter 9 Meeting Neville by chance

After leaving Ollivander, the father and son also planned to go to the next place. They planned to go to the nearest store, a robe shop.

Madam Malkin's Robe Shop is a very gorgeous shop. Compared to Ollivander's, which is a bit colder, Madam Malkin's shop has a lot of people coming and going.

Of course, this may also have a lot to do with her geographical location. Madam Malkin’s robe shop is located in the center of Diagon Alley, which also happens to be the intersection where Diagon Alley leads to other streets, so people come and go. There are many wizards, besides Madam Malkin, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore is also here.

Madam Malkin's shop is very large, more than twice as big as Ollivander's shop. Her store's plaque and exterior are all made of gorgeous purple.

Drinker didn't know what those purple things were. They might be composed of some magic rocks, or they were made by wizards' spells. At least, Drinker had not seen similar shops in the British Muggle world.

Opening the door, Drinker saw Madam Malkin herself standing there. (The store mountain has her metal pattern)

"Welcome, gentlemen." Mrs. Malkin said warmly to the two of them as soon as they entered.

Mrs. Malkin is a short and chubby witch. Although she is a little short, she is very approachable. Her smile is warm and friendly. Seeing her, Drinker seems to have seen him living in the Hilton. Mrs. Shiros on the street, she is also fat, but she talks a lot and is very aggressive. Every time Drinker passes by her door, she will find a way to gossip.

"Hello, madam." Facing the other party, Drinker also replied politely.

Mrs. Malkin made her feel much better than Mrs. Shiros.

"Are you two here to buy Hogwarts school uniforms?" Mrs. Malkin tried to ask.

"Yes, madam, I need three sets of black robes, a pair of gloves and a hat, as well as a cloak for winter. Also, I want to buy a set of robes for my two sisters and my mother." Delin Ke replied.

The robe for Lilia was a gift he prepared. Of course, he seemed to be preparing some other gifts, otherwise a robe would not be able to solve Lilia's problem.

The robe given to his mother was because Drinker wanted to ease his mother's attitude towards the magical world. He didn't know if his mother had recovered from the shock that day, but at least he hoped that she could face the magical world.

As for what he brought to Linda, she was his sister, so he had to bring something, right?

"Oh, you are such a considerate child. You are very lucky, Mr. Malkin." Mrs. Malkin praised. The second half of the sentence was said to Mr. Delins. Obviously, Mrs. Malkin was very good at complimenting people.

"Of course, madam, Drinker is a very good boy. By the way, I hope I can also have a set of robes. I want the dark green one." Mr. Derrings said.

Mr. Delins didn't buy the robe just because Mrs. Malkin praised Drinker. He had wanted it for a long time. After all, he was a fan of the Magic Warriors.

"Sorry, Dad, I forgot about you!" Drinker also reacted after hearing his father's words. It seemed that his father also needed a gift.

"It's okay Drinker, you've been through too much today, I won't care about this little thing." Mr. Derrings replied, he still felt that his son was different after buying the wand.

Madam Malkin's Robe Shop does not use magical items that automatically measure the body. They choose to measure manually. They have three people who specialize in measuring the body. Mr. Drinker and Mr. Delins stood on a stool to measure. As for Lilia, , Linda and Mrs. Derrings, because they did not come, so Derink could only give a rough estimate of the size.

While measuring his body, Drinker looked around. There were indeed a few people in the store, but he didn't see Hermione or Justin here. Apparently they were buying other items, but he was here. Saw another familiar person.

Neville Longbottom, he looked exactly like the one in the movie, a little short, with some freckles, and seemed a little cowardly, but that was just a look, Drinker would not have any other opinions on this brave guy.

One of his favorite characters in the original world is Neville. In fact, he admires this guy very much. He even thought that if Voldemort had not chosen Harry Potter but chosen him, then he would have become the savior, and even No worse than what Harry did.

In fact, Neville did do something as great as the savior in the end. Drinker still remembers the scene when he killed Voldemort's snake.

Perhaps he noticed that someone was looking at him. Neville looked around, and then he saw Drinker there, but he seemed a little afraid of strangers. He only glanced at Drinker and turned his head away.

"Okay, sir," at this time, the witch who measured his body also completed the measurement.

"Thank you, ma'am." Drink thanked him and walked down. He was going to get to know Neville.

"It's your turn, sir." However, after Drinker came down, the witch said to Mr. Derrings again.

"Take it first, Drinker, and give it to me later." Mr. Delins took off his coat, and then handed both the coat and handbag to Drinker.

"Okay, Dad." Drinker agreed and took his father's coat and handbag. To be honest, these things were a bit heavy for him. After all, he was only 11 years old, but even so, he He didn't give up the idea of ​​getting to know Neville either.

I saw him holding something and slowly walking towards Neville.

"Hello, my name is Drinker. Are you also a freshman at Hogwarts?" Drinker came to Neville with his things. He first arranged his clothes and then tried to talk to Neville.

"Hello, yes, I am a new student at Hogwarts. My name is Neville Longbottom." Neville seemed not to expect that someone would come over and take the initiative to talk to him. He was a little frightened for a moment. arrive.

"Hello, Neville, I'm a freshman too, don't be afraid." Seeing Neville's reaction, he slowed down his tone and made it sound softer.

"To be honest, I was a little panicked. You know, I come from a Muggle family. When I received the letter, I couldn't believe it at all, especially when I knew that I had the talent of a magician. I was simply frightened. ." Drink seemed to see that Neville was still a little nervous, so he deliberately made what he said funny.

"Yes, really?" Neville is indeed a little timid, but no matter how timid he is, he can't stop being so enthusiastic.

"Are you here to buy robes too? Have you bought all the other things?" Drinker continued. He planned to become friends with Neville little by little.

"Well, my grandma went to buy other things. I'm waiting for the robe here." Neville was a little at a loss for this sudden appearance of "Zilai Shu", but when he saw that the other party did not mean any harm, he just wanted to find someone to talk to. He also gradually put away his guard.

"I only bought a wand. The wand alone cost me a lot of time. I tried more than a dozen wands before I succeeded. Master Ollivander said that the wand chooses the wizard, but I don't know if it is true or not." Drinker continued. He said that he did not tell Neville that he had tried more than 70 cigarettes, as that would scare Neville, and the secret seemed to be quite important.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Neville, it was just that Neville before fifth grade seemed to be a bit of a cheat.

"Yes, is that so? I use my dad's old wand," Neville said. It seemed that because Drinker was willing to share his experience with him, Neville's face was not as alert as before, and it also leaked He smiled, obviously he was much more relaxed now than before.

"Did Neville use his father's wand?" Drinker seemed not to remember whether Neville used an old wand. He knew that Ron's wand was old and seemed to belong to his brother.

"Drink, is this your new friend?" Just when Drink was about to continue saying something, a voice came through, and Mr. Delins also finished measuring his body.

"Yes dad, this is Neville Longbottom, my new friend, he is a very interesting person." Drink introduced.

After hearing this, Mr. Delins also smiled and said hello to Neville.

"Neville, it seems I have to leave. Let's meet at school." Drinker knew they were going to buy other items, so he said goodbye to Neville.

"Goodbye, Drinker." Neville also waved goodbye. Drinker came and left suddenly. He jumped when he came, and he was a little reluctant to leave when he left. But no matter what, for this Neville, a friend he just met, is still very happy.

"Where are we going next?" Mr. Delins said symbolically after leaving the door.

"Let's go across the street," Drinker said, pointing to the Flourish Blossom Bookstore opposite.

"The bookstore, okay, we really should go there, but before that I think we have to solve the problem of lunch. Aren't you hungry?" Mr. Delins pointed to the watch on his wrist and said.

Drink took a closer look and found that more than two hours had passed without realizing it. It was now more than 11:30. They seemed to have stayed in Ollivander for too long.

"Okay, let me take a look. It just so happens that there is a restaurant nearby." Drink looked at the map and found that there was a wizard's restaurant 3 minutes' walk north.

In fact, Drinker is not hungry yet, maybe because of the excitement of coming to Diagon Alley for the first time, or maybe because more than 70 wands have given him a lot of energy. In short, his stomach has not protested yet. However, Mr. Drinkers Their mortal bodies seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, so they had to go have lunch first.

The restaurant on the map is actually not much different from a Muggle restaurant, and the food inside is not the weird food you imagined.Also, there never seems to be anything special in the Hogwarts cafeteria, so what wizards eat is not much different from what Muggles eat.

Although the style and type of food here are similar to those in the Muggle world, the ingredients in the food are very different. There are also some meats that Drinker has never seen in this life or even in his previous life: dragon meat.

The dragon meat burger tastes very good, its texture is extremely delicate, and the taste is delicious enough. The dragon meat burger is paired with a lot of vegetables that Drinker doesn’t recognize. Although he doesn’t recognize it, the burger looks very good, and Drinkin takes a bite. Not only does it not smell at all, but it also fills your mouth with a fragrant aroma that leaves you with endless aftertaste.

After simply eating a few "dragon meat" burgers, the father and son were ready to continue shopping. They said they were not hungry, but they still ate nine dragon meat burgers, of which Drinker ate four.

Before leaving, Mr. Delins bought a few more dragon meat burgers. He wanted to take them home for Linda and Lilia to eat. After all, they had never eaten dragon meat, and he also thought his daughters would like this. Burger's.

After lunch, Drinker was going to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. Like Mrs. Malkin, the store at Flourish and Blotts was also very beautiful, but the difference was that they only replaced it with new glass instead of a comprehensive and exquisite decoration.

The glass at Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore is very high. Drinker looks like he is almost three meters tall and about three or four meters long. The glass is very beautiful, but it seems to have some shortcomings. Passers-by can clearly see it if they stand outside the glass. See what it looks like inside.

The area inside Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore is also very large. There are bookshelves all around the walls. The bookshelves are also filled with all kinds of strange books. One of them is very tall, nearly one meter high and thirty centimeters thick. , there is also a book, the words on it are invisible, and ordinary people can't see it at all.

In addition to the necessary books for first grade, Drinker also bought many additional books, such as "Modern History of Magic", "Basic Charms Encyclopedia", "Household Charms Encyclopedia" and other books, most of which are about spells. , a small part of it was about the history of the magic world. In addition, he also bought seven volumes of standard spells. In his opinion, he would also buy them later. He said that he would buy them in a few years, so it was better to buy them now.

It is worth mentioning that Drinker also saw a quill pen here that can write automatically. This pen is amazing. It can write automatically according to your thoughts. Out of curiosity, Drinker bought one for five galleons. .

Here, Drinker bought a total of seventeen books, excluding Hogwarts books.The stack of books was almost as tall as a person. Naturally, they couldn't take so many books back with them, but the bookstore owner was willing to deliver the books to their residences without charging postage.

After buying the books, they went to buy the items needed for Potions and Astronomy classes.When buying a telescope, Drinker bought the latest model, which is said to be one that can directly see the craters on the moon. In addition, he also bought a crystal clear blue crystal stone.

According to the boss, the material in this stone is a material that is not found on the earth, so this stone is harder than diamond.

The crucible Drink bought was made of silver. He felt that the one made of tin was unsafe. After all, tin can cause poisoning if used too much.

He didn't buy the materials he needed for his Potions class blindly. After all, he didn't understand Potions yet, so buying so much would be a waste.

After buying all the things, it was almost three o'clock. Finally, the father and son went to Mrs. Malkin's Robe Shop to pick up the robes. After picking up the robes, they drove home.

"It's been a hard day," Mr. Derlings said as he returned to the car.
