[Comprehensive British and American] The owner is not good

"Nice to see you again, my child." Dumbledore said cheerfully with a flash of light in his eyes hidden under the reading glasses.

When Dumbledore met Tom Riddle a few months ago, he was still helping in the shop. By chance, he discovered that the latter was a Muggle, and he said something.For example, pretending not to care about mentioning Hogwarts, whether wizards exist or not, and for example, there will be some people with special abilities in the world...

Anyway, they met once in the shop.

The black-haired boy's face became even more rigid, his eyes swept over the old man's wrinkled face, he pursed his lips, and did not speak.

"Where are we going now?" Dana asked, interrupting Dumbledore with a smile. Mycroft and Sherlock frowned when they saw Tom Riddle's condition.Although the latter does not have the Holmes bloodline, it can be classified as their own for the two brothers. Being forced by a stranger like this is a bit uncomfortable for the two who protect their shortcomings.

"Platform Nine and Three-quarters of King's Cross." Dumbledore also withdrew his sharp eyes, and brought the topic to the real road, with a smile on his face as if the old man who had just shown his sharpness was not him.

Mycroft and Sherlock looked at each other, exchanging a look that only they understood, but anyone who knew them knew that they had bad intentions.

"I remember that there is no such platform in London!" Mycroft quickly flashed through the entire London platform, raising doubts without haste.

They appeared in the store this time because of the so-called wizarding world. Mycroft doesn't have much research obsession. There are a lot of corresponding materials in the White House, a closed and backward world, this is his only opinion after reading all the materials. .Sherlock is different. Compared with the written things, he believes in his five senses. The wizard who represents evil in fairy tales is too attractive to him.

"Oh, in order to stop some people with malicious intentions, we always need some small means." Hearing this, Dumbledore turned his head and blinked at Mycroft. The wizard prepares some supplies, and today we are going to - Diagon Alley!"

"Use pounds?" Sherlock interjected, and his brain disassembled and analyzed the information obtained.

"Oh, of course not, we have our own currency, 29 Copper Knuts equals 1 Silver Sickle, 17 Silver Sickles equals 1 Gold Galleon, 5 pounds can be exchanged for 1 Gold Galleon. You need to open a It belongs to its own vault, and the goblins will exchange these currencies for Galleons." Dumbledore signaled everyone to follow him, explaining Sherlock's doubts.

The currency is not the base 10 that is commonly used in the British pound, and more mysterious numbers have attracted everyone's attention.

Sherlock raised his eyebrows. He was very interested in currency, and he was inexplicably excited when he thought of countless unknown things slowly unfolding before his eyes.

"What do we need to buy?" Hannibal is a careful person, which can be seen from the fact that he asked a question that no one paid attention to.

"This is the purpose of my coming here. The letter sent by the Hogwarts owl describes a lot in detail, such as the books, pets and tuition fees needed by the first-year little wizard." Dumbledore talked about the owl. Enrollment notification letter sent here.

Notification letter?

Dana and Hannibal exchanged puzzled looks, they had never heard of this thing, let alone Mycroft and Sherlock, especially the latter, probably the first time the wizarding world had heard of it.

Everyone's eyes drifted involuntarily.

Clearing his throat, Tom Riddle stared at everyone and took out a piece of yellowed parchment from his pocket, "Here I am."

As soon as it was taken out, it was snatched away by Sherlock who was waiting aside. The latter spread out the parchment and quickly read it.

There were many things on it that no one had ever heard of. Sherlock's pale face became much ruddy, and a gleam of light flashed in his light-colored eyes.

"Is there only these three kinds of pets?" Dana browsed the parchment, and didn't care about Tom Riddle's hidden letter, but asked Dumbledore an unexpected question.

pet!

The family struggled with pets like any normal Muggle family.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect such a result, but he still answered the other party's question very thoughtfully: "Yes, all little wizards use these three pets, toads, owls or It's a cat."

It's troublesome now...

Hearing Dumbledore's kind but irrefutable words, Dana couldn't help but frowned. He didn't forget that there was a stupid snake with an abnormally large size in the store, not to mention whether the snake had anything to do with magic or not. In connection, just because Nagini knew that her Voldy had gone to other places alone and did not take her with her, she would definitely be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Dana felt his head hurt even more.

But at this time, the person who should have asked this question was uncharacteristically silent, as if he hadn't noticed what was written on the letter paper, and he was lost in thought.

Tom Riddle followed alone at the end of the line, ahead of Sherlock with the parchment, and Mycroft beside Dana and Hannibal.

Tom Riddle doesn't regret hiding the letter paper. The experience in the orphanage made him instinctively wary of sudden things, let alone a letter brought by an owl who didn't know where it came from. He directly chose to hide this matter .

It's just that the young boy didn't expect that the old man he had met would say the whole thing in one word.Just as he was thinking about something, a black shadow enveloped him, and when he looked up, he found that Sherlock walked beside him at some point.

The well-known consulting detective seemed to feel the gaze on his body, and raised his head from the parchment, his light-colored eyes fell on the silent black-haired boy, with a rare flash of a smile.

"That guy doesn't care about these things, and you don't have to look like the sky is falling."

Sherlock said something that didn't fit his personality at all, he put his hand into the pocket of the windbreaker, and returned the parchment to the other party with the other hand, "Instead of thinking about something, why don't you think about it when you go back next time?" Explain, some things don’t need to be hidden. For Dell, you are his apprentice. The reason why you didn’t change your surname is because you respect your decision. In fact, you are also from the Lawrence family. In a few years, the old house will probably take you. to repair."

After a pause, Sherlock glanced at the black-haired boy from the corner of his eye. The latter lowered his head, his hair covering his expression. He dismissed his guilt and continued, "He hopes you can tell him about the embarrassing things."

Instead of silently concealing and taking responsibility.

Tom Riddle became even more silent, his jaw became more tense, and his black eyes were bottomless.

It has to be said that if Sherlock devotes himself to psychology, he will definitely become the world's top psychological master. He has a very keen insight into everything, and he also cruelly peeled off the outer layer of Tom Riddle's inner world, and put The bloody facts unfolded in front of my eyes.

And just as he knew, Dana didn't pay too much attention to it. The owner of the store was very seriously discussing with Principal Dumbledore about pets and enrollment.

"Can I bring other pets? My little Tom is allergic to cat fur, and there will be big red and swollen patches on his body." Dana opened his eyes and said nonsense, fooling the old man Dumbledore with a confused face on the opposite side.

"...and Toad."

"It's too ugly. A lot of mucus looks disgusting. Is there any other choice?" Dana couldn't help frowning when he thought of the toad the other party was talking about. Not in line with his aesthetic.

"The school's regulations are like this." Dumbledore was also helpless. Hogwarts has always been like this since the school was founded. There are also little wizards who are allergic to cat fur, but because of potions and other animals, parents are also reluctant. There is no entanglement.

Even if he is the vice principal, he can't change the rules set by the four founders.

"Then how do you arrange your holidays?" Dana didn't bother, and asked an irrelevant question.

"Every Christmas, Easter, and summer vacation, school starts on September 9st, nearly three months of vacation time." Dumbledore explained with a sigh of relief.

Not too much!

Dana nodded lightly, looking very satisfied with the school holiday settings.

"How many days between Easter and Christmas?" Dana cared more about Christmas. In a few years, Tom Riddle would be able to go to the cabin with them, and it would definitely take longer.

"About three or four weeks." Dumbledore led everyone to a bar and explained the specific time.
