[Comprehensive] Road to Trench

"Plain black magic robe, yes; pointed hat, OK; protective gloves, winter cloak... How do I feel that Mrs. Malkin is more familiar with the Hogwarts freshmen uniform list than I am?" Holding the list and comparing the required armor , Alex looked up puzzled.

Before going to the wand shop, Professor McGonagall took her to Mrs. Malkin's robe store to measure her body size and decide which ones to buy. After she came out of Ollivander's wand shop, Mrs. Malkin was already efficient. Gao Gao prepared all Alex's uniforms, and packed them up after she checked them one by one without any problems.

"Madam Malkin's shop has been open in Diagon Alley for many years, and Hogwarts students usually customize school uniforms here." Professor McGonagall explained.

Alex suddenly realized: That's no wonder, I believe Mrs. Malkin has seen more uniform lists than she has seen bombing squid!

...However, think about it from another angle, how many years has Hogwarts not changed the uniform list?

"The Potions class is all ready." Bucky put together the things he bought from the potion material tool store behind them, and asked, "Will you buy textbooks next? By the way, Alex, do you want to?" Ask for a pet, it says you can take an owl or a cat, and a toad..."

Bucky choked, and said with some uncertainty, "...Alex, I don't think you would consider the last option, right?"

Why are toads considered pets?

Alex was also very puzzled by this: "Isn't the toad raised to eat?" Uncle Li in the east of Zhou Town just invited her to eat the dry pot bullfrog stew, and she remembered it deeply.

PS: The taste is amazing!

Professor McGonagall: "..."

Professor McGonagall was thinking about whether he should discuss with Principal Dumbledore after going back to see if it was necessary to issue an announcement to all the students who kept toads in the school to be optimistic about their pets...

Miss Barnes will be entering school this September!

"Alex, you can't do this when you go to school." Bucky broke into a cold sweat, "This is a pet."

Don't get dizzy and grab it!

"I know, I won't catch them... That's not my favorite pet." Alex wrinkled his nose, and she liked it when he made a claypot bullfrog stew like Uncle Li and served it on the table. Say, "Speaking of pets, don't we have Agana at home?"

Agana is the snow-white Samoyed, because it’s the first time I came to Diagon Alley, considering that I don’t know what I will encounter, Bucky and Alex didn’t bring Agana out when they went out, but let Agana Stay home and watch the house.

"Owl, um," Bucky asked Professor McGonagall next to him, "is the postal courier of the wizarding world an owl?"

"Yes, they have done a very good job," Professor McGonagall introduced them gently, "I think Miss Barnes can consider buying an owl and use it to contact you when the time comes. The scope of Hogwarts Here, all electronics fail, so if you want to communicate with home, you have to use an owl."

"What?" Alex looked up in shock, "The owl delivers the letter? Does it know the person to deliver the letter? Does it know where to send it?"

Bucky interjected: "Alex, have you forgotten who brought your reply?"

"Okay...but, if Uncle Bucky isn't home, can it find him? How long will it fly? And, and can it fly over the sea? Uncle Bucky is often away from home, and often travels abroad to other places, I can't even find anyone!" The little girl asked many questions like a cannonball, obviously still a little unbelievable.

Isn't this a matter of course?

In the era when the Internet was popularized in the UK and an email was sent online within minutes, there are still people who send mail with an owl, and it is not a special case of retro lovers, but the whole society.

"When the owl is flying leisurely, it can reach 70 kilometers per hour. If it flies at full speed, it can reach 100 kilometers." Bucky touched the little girl's silver head beside him, "Alex, I think your book list Time to add to the list of magazines like Animal World."

Alex choked: Bucky hit the mark, she basically didn't read this kind of books that should be entry-level knowledge in a certain sense...

Pouted, she took out a palm-sized notepad from her pocket, and wrote it down: "Well, I think so too...Professor, is there a library in the wizarding world in Diagon Alley? Yes. The kind that borrows books."

"Unfortunately not here. But when you arrive at Hogwarts, the Hogwarts library will always open the door for you, Miss Barnes." Professor McGonagall now feels that the child is very good, maybe she will enter Laven Crow.

After that, it was time to buy textbooks. Alex saw stacks of old newspapers in the old newspaper section of Lihen Bookstore. They were all mainstream newspapers and periodicals in the past few years. No need to line up—the clerk of Lihen Bookstore's sales pitch was extremely enthusiastic. It seemed that this batch of newspapers had brought quite a lot of extra burden to his work.

Lihen Bookstore is processing these batches of outdated newspapers that take up quite a lot of space in units of pounds. The price is only a little higher than that sold to waste collectors. For those who want to understand this strange world, this is a good deal. business.

The clerk also gave Alex a copy of the "Daily Prophet" of the day as a gift.

After all the shopping, this busy day is finally over.Before leaving, Professor McGonagall told him how to take the Hogwarts Express at King's Cross Station on September [-]. Alex wrote down the method in his small notebook and put it together with the ticket.

——Her memory has not been recovered much so far, which has caused Alex to be quite unconfident in her own mind. When encountering important things, she chooses to write them down on paper instead of just keeping them in her mind. Make an impression.

On the way Bucky drove their family's old-looking jeep back home, but before seeing the town, Alex had roughly flipped through most of the stack of newspapers.

Regarding the current affairs and political content in this stack of newspapers, it can be roughly summed up that a horror lord has left for ten years, and everything in the wizarding world is thriving.

Oh, and one qualification was missed: under Cornelius Fudge, the new Minister for Magic who was appointed last year.

"Current affairs and political newspapers are the same all over the world." Alex summed up the contents of the stack of old newspapers in one sentence, then folded up the last newspaper, took the latest issue of "Daily Prophet", "Hmm, Quidditch Europa League? It's like a wizarding sport... you have to use a broomstick to play."

She glanced at her entry list, which clearly stated that first graders were not allowed to bring broomsticks.

"Alex, do you want to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow?" Bucky asked suddenly, concentrating on driving without looking sideways.

"Ah?" Alex thought he forgot to buy something, compared the list and found that there was nothing, "We shouldn't forget to buy anything today..."

Bucky smiled slightly: "Some things cannot be bought in front of the professor."

Angela Gauck returned to the residence with the long and thin box she had retrieved from Ollivander's shop, just in time to meet Cornelius Fudge coming out of the living room with a smile on his face, accompanied by Lord Schiller .

"I believe this will be a great trip." Fudge said enthusiastically, "The Europa League final, the best location, you must come and see it!"

"We will, Mr. Minister." Schiller maintained a polite smile, and the two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at Angela's side.

Angra quickly moved out of the way and let the two of them leave first.

Watching Schiller send the British Minister of Magic out the door, Angela took the box and entered the living room.

The living room was empty.

"Where is Master Mihail?" Angela asked Schiller, who was sending someone back, suspiciously.

"Upstairs." Schiller rubbed his face, his face was almost frozen from laughing for so long.

God is so pitiful, he just accompanied Lord Michael to England to get a wand that was customized a long time ago, and took a look at the Quidditch European League by the way, who knew that this Cornelius Fudge would follow like a smelling cat .

Can't even understand the most basic hints, what did the British Ministry of Magic choose to be on stage this time?

"An idiot, incompetent and power-hungry, it's a good time to be in that position. Dumbledore couldn't bear to put his right-hand man in the position of Minister of Magic before Voldemort was actually dead. The closed door upstairs opened, and the blond boy was wearing pajamas, which were not buttoned neatly, revealing a small piece of muscular chest, with a somewhat sleepy expression, "Especially, this year, I remember that Harry Potter Are you going to enroll?"

"Yes, Lord Michel. Besides, this year is also the time for you to go to school." Hans Schiller said dryly in the sight of Michel who suddenly stopped and looked back, "Just now there is news from Schwanstein Castle, Dem Strong's acceptance letter has arrived."

"Congratulations, my lord, after decades of awakening your family blood, the ancient magic of Durmstrang finally thinks you are old enough to go to school."

The blond boy thought for a while, and said strangely: "Isn't the headmaster of Durmstrang Igor Karkaroff? He didn't intercept my admission letter? I thought since Uncle Gellert was in Germany After opening a hole in Armstrong's defense net, Grindelwald has been blacklisted as a student and will never be admitted!"

Angela & Hans: "..." You think too highly of Igor Karkaroff, even if he had 1 guts, he wouldn't dare to intercept your letter!

"With all due respect, Lord Mikhail," Hans said with a wooden face, "Compared to Lord Gellert, I don't think Durmstrang's defense network will ever be afraid of you who are not keen on magic at all. "

God knows why such a freak came out of Grindelwald's family!

"You mean if I go, Durmstrang's defense net won't be holed?"

After staring at the smiling boss for ten seconds, Hans automatically looked away: "...The European League is about to start, do you want to watch it?"
