A True Story of a Wizard's Life

Gabriel wanted to ask a few more questions about Mycroft Holmes. Speaking of which, she still didn't know what kind of occupation the new uncle was engaged in. He had a younger brother who was a detective, and he was not a person who was too law-abiding.But because she was not familiar with Snape, she still didn't ask in depth, but kept the fact that wizards came to her in her heart.

During this meeting, the two didn't talk too much apart from exchanging names. Snape told Gabriel that he basically came to Slugger & Ziggs Pharmacy at this time every day to do temporary work, which meant that if Find him here if you need anything.

Gabriel thought about their lives. As long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, the two of them really have nothing to help each other, so Gabriel didn't leave the current address to Snape. "I think we should be safe in London until we get an offer. I'm adopted by a Muggle who doesn't like owls very much."

"Hehe, it's not surprising. There are always people who don't like those flapping wings. It's hard to say that the first thing you see when you see them is to pluck their fur and make potions."

A slight sneer appeared on Snape's face immediately, and he didn't know why a little boy could explain the essence of sarcasm so accurately.How could he not know the attitude of Muggles towards wizards? Could it be that he looks like someone who writes letters when he has nothing to do?It's just how long Gabriel can hide from the Muggle who adopted her, and there are only five months until the admission letter arrives in July.

When Gabriel heard that owl hair could be used as a potion material, her first reaction was to not believe it, because she felt that the plucked owl was more suitable for roasting.No, stop quickly, how could you think of such a bloody thing.Especially when they were standing not far from a magic pet shop, they could still hear the hooting of the owls inside, and there was a little owl in a cage at the door, which was pecking at its feathers.

Snape looked at Gabriel's face, he didn't know what kind of association Gabriel had made, but following Gabriel's eyes, he also saw the owl that was grooming.Would telling a girl to pluck an owl's fur to make a potion come across as cruel?

On this point, Snape really didn't think deeply about it just now, and that sentence just blurted out.He just remembered that many little wizards like owls, and he can list a lot of names, such as Lily, little Potter, little Malfoy and so on.

He insists that he never regrets what he said, but now he hopes to leave Diagon Alley quickly. Today's work is over, and he wants to go home and brew the potion quickly, instead of wasting time here with someone who doesn't like him. Chat with familiar people.

Gabriel didn't notice Snape's awkwardness, the reason for her change of face was simpler, she was too embarrassed to ask 'Do you think owl meat is delicious? 'It seems more insane.

So, she pretended that nothing happened just now, and naturally bypassed the topic, "I should go back too, I can't read books at home, so I should find time to come to Lihen Bookstore every day to read books, if you have something to do, come here Find me there."

Gabriel planned to go to Knockturn Alley later to buy a second-hand wand for a rainy day.Unlike Snape who needed to brew potions, Gabriel didn't plan to buy magic books home to read, but there was a Sherlock Holmes at home who could see almost everything.

So she made an agreement with the owner of Lihen Bookstore to pay some money so that she could read some books in the bookstore from time to time.

Perhaps the boss was deceived by Gabriel's desire for knowledge and innocent cute face, and after going around for a long time, she agreed to read some magic books that she could read in the bookstore.

Gabriel never expected to browse any black magic books in Lihen Bookstore. She aimed at two types of books, basic magic and history of magic, which seemed to be very safe books.

After hearing what Gabriel said, Snape really wanted to ask her if she didn't bring the magic book home, but wouldn't it arouse suspicion if a child went out every day?But he didn't ask in the end, and left Diagon Alley first.

Gabriel put on the hat of the cloak and entered Knockturn Alley. I have to say that it gave her a very friendly feeling.Without the sunshine of Diagon Alley, the daytime here is in the shadows, and the gloomy gazes from all around seem to encounter a curse in the next second.

But these made Gabriel feel a little happier. Even if an old witch blocked her way, she smiled and cast a silent spell on the other party under the brim of her hat, watching her throbbing in pain. fell to the ground.

Almost at the moment when the opponent fell to the ground, Gabriel came up with the idea that since he won the battle, he should take a prize, and wanted to take away the opponent's wand.But more things are worse than less things. Who knows what strange defenses are on the opponent's wand, she'd better spend money to buy one.

Gabriel couldn't recall which stores were in Knockturn Alley. She chose a store that looked pleasing to the eye, and quickly completed the transaction with both money and goods.

Maybe it was the relationship between putting down the old witch at once, and no one came up to find fault afterwards, so the whole process from entering Knockturn Alley to leaving only took 10 minutes.

After that, Gabriel left Diagon Alley and stood at Charing Cross Road. The first thing she did with this second-hand wand was very simple. It was a guiding spell. She planned to walk back to her place of residence from here, She can't come here by carriage every day, but she is a thrifty and thrifty child.

No normal good kid goes into Knockturn Alley to get a wand!It's a pity that there is no one else around Gabriel, and no one can make such a complaint.

It's two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun is not bad, the road is not crowded with pedestrians, but it is still in twos and threes to the point where no one is around.It's just that the road spell gives the shortest distance, so this road is not all main roads, but has to pass through many alleys. It's hard to say inside the alleys. At a glance, some road sections are submerged in shadows. No one passed by.

Gabriel was concentrating on noting the way, and didn't care about the gloomy surroundings, but why did she hear a scream not far away.

"Ah—" This was a woman's scream, and it stopped abruptly after only half of it, as if someone had grabbed her throat.

"Oh! I hate my good hearing." Gabriel is not a nosy character, but she still walked towards the scene of the crime, but saw a man running from the alley 50 meters ahead. Pass.She could guarantee that she saw blood on the man. "I hate my excellent eyesight even more!"

Gabriel was by no means the only one who heard the scream just now. She was not too close to the crime scene, and when she got there, there were already people watching.

"Oh my god, this man's stomach has been cut open, this is what Jack the Ripper did!" Someone in the crowd yelled this first, causing all the onlookers to show horrified expressions.

Gabriel felt that she could go home in no hurry, and she could be sure that she would see her father who came to the scene soon.
