[HP] The Last Demon King

Chapter 13 Preparations before school starts [Revision 1]

After Eridins returned to the manor, she was scolded like a storm. She didn't expect that the only one standing on her side was Arthur who always looked down on her.

"Oh, come on, she's not a one-year-old child. Is there such a fuss when she goes out?" Arthur has long been displeased with Anna and Arnold's captive education. In his concept, children should be freed. It's better to go out and fall half to death, so that you can grow up.

No matter what Arthur said, Anna and Arnold were still very angry at the fact that Arnold went out without permission. Arnold seemed more worried. Until the beginning of school, she couldn't go out of the manor, but as compensation, Arnold promised to find for her the textbooks he used to study, so that she could learn the next content by herself in advance when she was in the manor.

After deciding on this matter, Eridins suddenly asked, "Why don't I celebrate my birthday?"

Both Arnold and Anna were stunned, only Arthur sneered and blurted out: "Because no one wants you to be born."

"Shut up!" Anna stood up angrily, her lips trembling, as if she wanted to refute something, but she couldn't say anything.

"Arthur, do you know what you're talking about?" Arnold's calm expression made people feel a cold majesty.

At this time, Arthur also realized what he had said, and he snorted unsurely, avoiding Eridins' sight.

"So that's the case." Eridins couldn't see any change in her expression, she looked at Arnold again: "Please find the book as soon as possible."

Arnold tapped his chin to her in the silence of the room.

As soon as she returned to the bedroom, an owl sent a letter from the Department of Prohibition of Misuse of Magic, which stated that if she used magic outside the school, she might be expelled from the school.

Aritins crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it upwards from her palm. The paper flew into the air, ignited a red flame, and then disappeared with ashes.

The next day, Arnold kept his promise and found the textbooks he used before. Each of these books was brand new and clean, without a single note. Thought it was bought by Arnold for her impromptu.

In the last month of the summer vacation, Eridins was unable to go out, and the extra time allowed her to finish all the courses of the second grade by herself. After the semester started, she could study the contents of the third grade at Hogwarts.

Before the start of school, Arnold needs to go to Diagon Alley to buy some school supplies. This time, she is not accompanied by Arnold, but by Arthur. Before leaving, Arnold whispered to her that it was Arthur who suggested this matter. .

"He wanted to apologize but he was too embarrassed to bow his head to you." Arnold's smile always made people feel that he was gloating.

The two went to Diagon Alley with floo powder, and Arthur still held a velvet black box in his hand. He said to Eridins: "We have to go to a place to process some things before we have time to buy you. of those things."

Arthur brought Eridins to a dirty alley, which was different from the bright and cheerful atmosphere of Diagon Alley, where there were gloomy wizards wearing black hoods whose heads and faces could not be seen clearly, displayed in shops on the street Commodities are also creepy and hard to guess what to use.

"This is Knockturn Alley. If you don't want to disappear from the world inexplicably, don't come here when you are alone." Arthur said coldly.

"What a beautiful box...can I see what's inside?" A hoarse, unidentified voice stopped Arthur suddenly.

"I advise you to stay away from me." Arthur said with a sneer, and the black hood turned to Eridins: "Ah... what a beautiful little girl, look at those black onyx eyes..."

A wrinkled and withered hand stretched out from under the black robe towards Eridins' eyes. Suddenly, the person under the hood screamed and stepped back covering his eyes. The hood fell off his head. This is a man who is so old that only his thinning white hair is left. Blood is gradually gushing out from his fingers covering his eyes.

"You are not qualified to touch Selwyn's people." Arthur said contemptuously.

"Selwyn..." The injured old man stumbled away covering his eyes in horror.

"This must be a newcomer who just came to Knockturn Alley. Didn't you see that everyone else was hiding away? When I was messing around in Knockturn Alley, he didn't know where to practice jinxes." Arthur was full of contempt Disgusted, he strode forward with Eridins, and the men in black robes avoided them one after another: "In Britain, there is no family that dares to say that they are better at black magic than us. We are born with strong magic power, and the mysterious people choose We are the best evidence."

Now that he had mentioned Voldemort, Eridins took the opportunity to ask, "Are we on You-Know-Who's side?"

Arthur broke up Eridings' words, and said impatiently: "Of course." He turned his head and looked at Eridings: "...you don't want to send me to Az Caban, I will kill you before the dementors take you away."

He strode into a store called Borgin-Bock and warned Eridins, "Don't touch a single thing in it, for your life's sake."

Aridins went in after him, and there seemed to be other customers in the shop, for Arthur said in great surprise, "Why are you here?"

Eridings saw two pale gold heads standing in front of the counter, and Malfoy saw Eridings too, his eyebrows raised and the corners of his mouth curled up at Eridings.

Mr. Malfoy glanced at Eridins lightly and looked away. He raised the things in his hand to Arthur: "I think we are for the same reason."

The hunchbacked man behind the counter said to Arthur with an overly enthusiastic smile: "Welcome--welcome, Mr. Selwyn, are you here to sell too?"

"Yes—some things that can't appear in the manor temporarily." Arthur and Mr. Malfoy smiled tacitly.

"This is Miss Selwyn, isn't it? Excellent girl, I've heard about you from Draco, congratulations on getting the first grade in your grade." The corners of Mr. Malfoy's mouth curled up, revealing a reserved smile.

Eridins was unimpressed by his words, because he had the same smirk as Arnold, but Arthur didn't look like that, he seemed to enjoy it.

"Sorry, I didn't know she was..." Mr. Malfoy asked.

Arthur hesitated, and said, "It's my sister Anna's child."

As if hearing something unbelievable, Mr. Malfoy's gaze that had been diverted back to Eridings in an instant, he stared at Eridings closely, and looked at her face from place to place: "Anna's Baby... may I ask what month she was born?" Mr Malfoy asked.

"December, is there a question?" said Arthur.

"No, there is no problem, she is half a year younger than Draco." Mr. Malfoy resumed his smirk, but the arc deepened a lot: "You guys are going to go to Diagon Alley to buy the items needed for the start of school, right? ? If you don't mind, we can go together."

"Of course no problem." Arthur readily agreed.

The two adults led the way out of the store, and Malfoy walked up to Eredines with his head held high, and said in a low voice, "You know, my dad promised to buy me a broomstick!"

"I don't know." Eridins' face was as sincere as her words.

"Well, of course you don't. I've had a hard time convincing my dad - he's mad at Granger for getting ahead of me, I've already told him that the teachers favor her -" Malfoy said angrily.

Mr. Malfoy in the front said: "Draco, I really hope that Erin Tingsi can take a moment to teach you how to study-at least not to be defeated by a girl from a non-wizard family again and again."

"If he wills," said Eridins' spot of light.

"Of course he would." Mr. Malfoy turned around and gave Malfoy a warning look, who said reluctantly, "That's right."

The few people quickly returned to Diagon Alley. An hour later, Eridins had bought all the items except the books. Mr. Malfoy glanced at the excited Malfoy, and finally said: "After going to Lihen Bookstore, we will Just go to the Quidditch Boutique."

"Oh, Quidditch, a fascinating game - maybe you need a broom, too?" Arthur looked back at Eridins.

Eridins was not interested in this aspect, so she shook her head. Arthur was disappointed: "Another stupid girl who doesn't understand the charm of Quidditch."

The Lihen Bookstore was crowded with people, and a book signing by an author named Gilderoy Lockhart was in progress. All the books used in this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts course belonged to this person.

Aridins wasn't interested in him, neither was Arthur, and Mr Malfoy and Malfoy had the same sneering look on their faces, and there was no doubt that no one here needed to waste time queuing up for autographs.

"Lucius and I will leave for a while, you go get the books first, and we will be back later." Arthur said to Eredines, then walked out talking with Mr. Malfoy.

"Let's go," said Malfoy, shrugging.

They squeezed onto the second floor of the bookstore, away from the crowd, and asked the clerk to find them the textbooks on the list.

"Look, "The Most Complete Prank Book of the Century"—" Malfoy held a book with a smirk and asked Eridings to read it, so she walked over, and Eridings was standing in front of Malfoy just about to When I was reading that book, there was a sudden momentum behind me——

"Borrowed! Borrowed!" Someone hurried over with a large stack of books.

Eridins looked at Malfoy, who was close at hand, retracted her right hand that was pressed on the bookcase next to his head, took a step back, and looked at the book in Malfoy's hand with a normal expression.

Just as Eridins stretched out her head, Malfoy, who was still sluggish one second, immediately jumped away the next second, and a faint blush appeared on his pale pointed face.

Eridins looked at him.

"Well, it's nothing, I was just taken aback." Malfoy forced the book into Eridins's hand with a forced calm, pretending to read other books seriously.

At this moment, the signing scene downstairs suddenly became noisy and boiling.
