"Grandpa, Anna, I have received the admission notice." Theodore waved the letter towards Anna, although she and Hermione had received the letter before Anna came to the manor, but he I still want to show off to my friends.

"Quick, open it and have a look."

Following the request of his grandfather and Anna, Theodore opened his admission letter:

"Grandpa Gareth, is the Hogwarts admission notice really the same except for the name?" Anna curiously took Theodore's notice and flipped through it. It was no different from her and Hermione's. Same, except for the name.

Gareth nodded, "That's right, the notice I received at that time was like this, except for the name, nothing changed. It seems that my father's notice was also the same at that time, and the textbooks were exactly the same."

The two children suddenly showed surprised expressions, "Oh, how many years have passed, and the school textbooks have not changed?"

Theodore, who has already attended elementary school in the Muggle world, knows very well that the textbooks of the Muggle world schools will also be revised with the changes and progress of the entire society.However, in the wizarding world, oh, it's really speechless, they haven't revised their textbooks for hundreds of years. "Shouldn't some new inventions and historical events be rewritten into textbooks?"

"You know, there have been no major events that need to be written in the past hundred years, and the newly invented spells and potions can be said to be completely negligible, and these new inventions are completely beyond the control of you children, so For schools, there is no need to replace textbooks at all."

"In other words, from this perspective, it can be seen that the wizarding world has not improved at all in these hundreds of years?"

"It's really disappointing." Disappointment is disappointment, and you still have to learn.Calling Toto, asked him to send the pen and paper, Theodore quickly wrote a reply, and let the gray owl take it back. "Are you going to Diagon Alley with us?"

"Maybe not." Anna spread her hands and shrugged helplessly, "You know, Hermione and I are real bastards in the eyes of those professors, and we don't know wizards at all. I don't want to go to school yet become the focus of observation.”

"OK then."

A week later, a chubby witch in a gray robe and a khaki pointed hat knocked on the door of Granger's house. "Hi, I'm a professor at Hogwarts, Pomona Sprout, who teaches herbalism. I'm here to guide your two little witches today."

"Hello, Professor Sprout. Please come in." Caroline happily let Sprout into the room. "The two children are still having breakfast. You know, they are a little excited,..."

"Yes. Children will always be curious about these amazing magics." Sprout smiled and nodded understandingly.

"Maybe you'd like to have a cup of milk tea together?"

"OK, thanks."

Sprout led two people to the Leaky Cauldron, "This is the entrance to the wizarding world." Sprout explained to the two and walked in with the two.The whole bar is dark and shabby, looking gloomy.It was full of people in strange robes and pointy hats, but many of them looked tattered, and there was a musty smell mixed with sweat in the bar.

"Oh, Professor Sprout, are you picking up freshmen?" Bar owner Tom greeted immediately after seeing Sprout.Sprout exchanged a few words with Tom, and then led them to the patio.The environment here is not very good, it is a bit like a place where garbage is piled up, and there are a few flies flying around in the corner.The two sisters frowned, the sanitary conditions in the wizarding world must be too poor.

"Miss Granger, please look clearly." Sprout stood in front of the wall, holding up his wand and said to the sisters, "Count three pieces up and two pieces across. This will open it. ’ As she moved, the walls began to move, ‘Welcome to Diagon Alley.’

A not-too-wide street appeared in front of the two of them. There were high and low shops with strange shapes on both sides of the street. The two sisters looked at each other and followed Sprout to Diagon Alley.Hermione looked excitedly at the wizards in robes coming and going, as well as all kinds of strange products sold in the shop.Apparently, as the older sister, she was new to the wizarding streets.There was a look of indifference in Anna's eyes.The entire Diagon Alley is narrow and crowded, and many houses look dilapidated. Although the shapes are strange, they can't arouse any desire for shopping.

"We have to go to Gringotts first, kids. Mr. Granger should have some money for you to buy things before we come out, right?" Sprout turned to the twins as they walked forward.

"Yes." Hermione showed Sprout a look at her handbag, "Mum put all the money here."

"Of course, you can also open an account there, and save yourself having to come to Gringotts to exchange it every time."

I'd rather be bothered.Anna said in her heart that compared to Gringotts, which is run by goblins and charges large fees without interest, Anna feels that the bank is safer.After the sisters exchanged the wizard's common currency at Gringotts, Sprout took them to the Madam Malkin's robe store.

"You are here to measure, I will buy you textbooks and crucibles and other supplies, and we will meet at Ollivander's wand shop, okay?"

"Okay, Professor."

"Anna, this ruler!" Hermione stared at the ruler crawling around her body, "It's so disgusting."

"Oh, it just likes beautiful children." Mrs. Malkin came over with a smile and took off the ruler that had finished measuring and was still twisting and eating the girl's tofu, "It's your turn next, little girl with blond hair, really I can't believe that you two are twins."

"Because we are fraternal twins." Anna replied with a smile, and then stood on the bench, accepting the behavior of eating tofu with a ruler, but when she felt that the measurements were all over, she still unceremoniously took the ruler Caught it.Don't think that you can eat a lady's tofu so calmly because you are a ruler. "Madam, please make us two additional sets of daily clothes."

"Okay." Mrs. Malkin agreed with a smile. Although she didn't understand what fraternal twins were, it had nothing to do with her work, did it. "It will take some time for the clothes to be made. You can go to other things first."

"Okay, ma'am." After answering, she went out to Ollivander's wand shop.

"Anna, why do you need to make two more sets of daily clothes? I think we should save the money to buy books." As soon as we left the store, Hermione asked Anna with some dissatisfaction. A suit is worse than a book.

"Hermione, we can't wear our usual clothes to and from school, and we can't always wear school uniforms. Anyway, since we have entered the wizarding society, I think we should do as the Romans do in some ways." Anna felt herself I can't help but roll my eyes again, even though this behavior is not very ladylike, oh, anyway, Theodore is not around, and Roy doesn't care whether he is a lady or not. "Besides, there is still some time until school starts, we can go to Diagon Alley to buy books again."

"Okay." Frowning, Hermione finally agreed with her sister.

"It seems that your speed is quite fast." When the two arrived at Ollivander's door, Sprout also walked over quickly, and took out books and other tools from his pocket.

"Professor Sprout, can you teach us this zoom-in spell?" Hermione's eyes lit up when she saw the book.

"Of course you can, but you have to wait until you get your wands." Sprout agreed with a smile.Pushed open Ollivander's door.

Looking at the room full of boxes, dusty tables, and crooked cabinets, Anna couldn't help but sighed again in her heart. Is magic used to support high-risk buildings?

When the first wand in Hermione's hand sparked and almost set fire to the cabinet in front of her, Anna took a few steps back involuntarily. Buying a wand is also a high-risk project.
