Chapter 141 Break through the brain hole of the sky!
Patch Crucible Shop…
Mrs. Mojin's robe store...
Lihen Bookstore...
Ollivander's Wand Shop...
Yila Owl Store…
Various strange and exciting shops and restaurants, some restaurants even place tables outside, under brightly colored parasols. Pei Chen felt very lively when he looked at it. After all, this is the most prosperous regular wizard trading place in the British magic world, no doubt about it.
"Where are we going first?" Harry looked up at Hager and asked. The strange things here made him gain insight and almost dazzled his eyes.
Pei Chen couldn't help but frown. He seemed to have no reason to follow these two people again? No, he had to think of a solution.
"You can buy quills and ink here. The bookstore over there allows you to buy all the books on the list... Oh, I forgot, before that, you have to have money first, Harry." Hagrid stopped his fingers, looked around, and focused his attention on the bank of a white marble building more than ten meters away.
"But I don't have money, not a penny." Harry reluctantly took his eyes back from the cabinets of a shop, where he was placed a streamlined maroon solid wood broom with a 2000-plus wheel.
I didn't have a penny either... Pei Chen couldn't help rolling his eyes again.
How long has it been, he actually felt the distress of having no money again. This is really strange.
"Don't worry, Harry. How could you have no money there? This is a joke... Do you think your parents really left you nothing?" Hager pointed to the bank, speaking proudly, "Gringot, the Wizard Bank, is also the safest place in the world. Apart from Hogwarts... they are just goblins."
As he said that, the giant couldn't help but shake his head and continued, "The fairy is very smart and likes to be petty... The most important thing is that they are not very friendly. Remember to follow me later and don't talk nonsense."
Bank? Pei Chen's heart moved.
Since it is a bank, there should be currency exchange services? I just don’t know whether ordinary people’s currency can be exchanged for wizard’s currency?
As for the idea of robbing the bank, he was strangled to death by him just now. He dared to claim that it is the safest place in the world. It would be better not to cause trouble for yourself. Pei Chen has reason to believe that over the years, there have been more than one person who has had such ideas.
Subconsciously touched his body, and his smile that felt that he had just found the light and hope frozen instantly - Damn! I didn't bring any money!
He took out the five pounds left, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times. He knew without thinking that such a small amount of money would definitely not be exchanged for anything.
I have to think of another way! He looked at the sky speechlessly, but he heard a slight word in his ear: "Dear, I think you need to buy an owl to take it to school..."
owl?
A flash of lightning broke through the fog in Pei Chen's mind, and a vague idea was quickly forming in his brain.
Maybe I can...uh, but isn't it too unconventional to do this? I always feel that once this plan is implemented, I will lose something very valuable!

...
This cobbled street is full of wizards wearing robes and pointed hats, and there are many children of similar age as Harry. They should have received an invitation from the Magic School to come here to buy essential props for admission.
And thanks to the joining of these little guys, Diagon Alley is obviously much more lively than before.
However, Mr. Granger felt upset when he saw this situation. The messy scene was simply unbearable, especially for a dentist with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder.
This middle-aged man in a suit and ties dressed in a successful person is undoubtedly an absolute alternative on this magic street, or there is a noun that has been used with a long history to classify people like him more professionally and clearly - yes, it is Muggle.
Yes, Mr. Granger is a Muggle, meaning a pure ordinary person without any magical talent. But what is interesting is that his daughter was admitted to the Hogwarts Magic School because of the talent that she didn't know how to define. Today, he brought his daughter to buy things.
However, the process was not smooth. He naturally lost on the road of life, with his lovely daughter.
There are many reasons for this, such as the latest London map for sale in the newspaper booth, where Diagon Alley is not found on the latest London map, or the Burning Cauldron Bar, a portal connecting ordinary society and the magic world, is not open to ordinary people like him... and so on, all kinds of reasons are very convincing reasons, and no one can blame him.
After running half of the city with his adorable daughter, when the angry Mr. Granger was planning to complain about the person who bought the map for him, someone was willing to lead him. He was a kind-hearted person, and God blessed him.
However, his daughter, a cute little girl, was so tired that she could not walk after entering Diagon Alley. The distressed Mr. Granger had to temporarily place her daughter in a dessert shop at the entrance of the alley. He fulfilled his obligation as a father and personally went to complete the requirements listed in the admission notice one by one.
As of now, if this is a chain mission of the twenty-ring, he has completed the nineteenth ring in front and has done a very good job.
I think Mr. Granger's daughter will be happy and proud of having such a good father, before she can see what her father bought for her-
On the left is a biological store. Just hanging outside the door, there are more than a dozen cages, different sizes, and everything inside is closed. Owls are the most common, followed by cats, and even alternative creatures such as giant purple toads and giant turtles. I don’t know what kind of aesthetics it is, so people will buy such goods as pets.
Mr. Granger lowered his head and looked at the list in his hand:
——"Students can carry an owl or a cat or a toad."
Yes, you can bring pets, but it is too strange to keep such pets?
Mr. Granger panted and moved to another hand, carrying the bag full of books. After hesitating for a while, he still did not enter the biological store closest to him. Perhaps the poisonous orange snail scared him. He struggled to carry a lot of things, avoiding the naughty kids running around the streets, and walked into a very crowded pet store full of animal calls, noisy pet store, and the magical zoo.
A female boss wearing thick black-framed glasses came up directly.
"Hello, are you going to buy a pet?"
"Yes, sorry, I'm going to buy my daughter a pet... Well, she just entered school this year..."
...
...
"Ah--" The little girl's scream scared everyone in the dessert shop, and everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to a table at the corner.
Mr. Granger stood there in embarrassment, looking at his screaming daughter, sitting or standing, and not knowing what to say to comfort his daughter. He smiled awkwardly and turned his head to look at everyone.
Mr. Granger's daughter, the little girl sitting opposite the table, had a very wonderful expression. She was obviously scared and stared at a snake in front of her. Yes, a snake!
It has about long arms, slender body, dark blue scales all over its body, and its eyes are shining like rubies... The snake is lying lazily on the table, seemingly unable to withstand the air conditioning in the dessert shop, and looks weak.
This is the pet Mr. Granger gave to his daughter...
Mr. Granger was a little regretful. He should have thought about it for a long time, rather than making such a decision in a hurry - to give a snake to his daughter as a pet to school or something. He must have been thrust at that time!
"This is the gift you gave me?!"
Hermione Granger gritted his teeth and asked his father in grief. If you pay close attention, you will find that the little girl with thick, messy brown hair, bright brown eyes and big front teeth were still a little wet at the corners of her eyes.
Mr. Granger smiled awkwardly again, not knowing what to say. He put all the things in his hand on the ground, sat down, and then began to think about how to explain this to his daughter.
"It...is not a venomous snake, there is no danger."
"But this is not the problem!" Miss Hermione's expression was strange, and she reached out to point to the snake on the table, but immediately felt that her finger was too close to the snake's kiss, and she shrank back like an electric shock. "Who would give a snake to her daughter as a gift for admission?"
Mr. Granger smiled bitterly: "But, wasn't you said, I don't like raising cats, nor do I want owls... I don't know what kind of pet you want, so after thinking about it, I can only buy this..."
As he said that, the father asked carefully: "Why wouldn't this be the case? You have to buy your wand later. This must be yourselves to buy the most suitable one. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we will return the snake and replace it with another... a toad! What do you think?"
toad……
Hermione's face turned red and white, very wonderful.
Undoubtedly, compared to the ugly amphibian who looks like a close relative of a frog, but has many bumps on the surface and poisonous glands inside, she feels that she may be more likely to accept the beautiful little snake in front of her.
Of course, it would be even better if it could be replaced with a cat or an owl. However, she had just said she would not want these two animals before, so how could the competitive Miss Hermione change her words? And if she didn't speak, Mr. Granger, who was a bit dull, would not take the initiative to propose it. This good father chose outside the category of animals that had been rejected before.
"What do you think of snails? I saw an orange snail the size of a fist, but it is said to be poisonous..."
"Spider... this seems a bit scary, and not many people buy it."
"The rats are OK too! I saw that both students bought rats."
“…”
Listening to her father's endless words and the choices she gave, Miss Granger's heart was collapsed at this moment. She was desperate to find that she had no choice at all. Whether it was a huge spider or a poisonous snail, compared with these disgusting and curious creatures, she finally discovered how beautiful the little snake her father bought for her was.
"Toads are indeed not a good choice. They are big and ugly, and they are troublesome to feed them... I heard that toads were more popular many years ago, but now they are outdated. Only some ancient families will buy this thing for their descendants... My daughter, don't worry, although the notice said that only three types of pets are allowed, this is not an absolute rigid rule... You must know that some people take mice and some people take spiders, and there are everything..."
Mr. Granger was still talking nonstop, but the little snake on the table turned over lazily, curled up, and sent out a very slight syllable very concealedly-
