HP004 Knockturn Alley and Gifts
Time flies, and August is already coming.
After a busy birthday party, Li Xiang finally had time to go to Diagon Alley to study for purchases of items. During the birthday party some time ago, Li Xiang was scared!
Because at the birthday party, his father, Count Golden Griffin, almost made a marriage for him. Fortunately, his mother Joanna stopped him and expressed that she hoped that Li Xiang's marriage should be decided by Li Xiang himself.
Otherwise, Li Xiang, who is only eleven years old, will have a fiancée!
If I really have a fiancée, I should be a little loli, right? I’m so excited to think about it!
"Father, mother, school is about to start, I want to go to Diagon Alley." Li Xiang took the initiative to say to his parents.
Joanna immediately responded, "Okay, my little Alvin, I'll go with you."
Earl Barlow also agreed, "Well, the weather is good today, let's accompany you."
Li Xiang shook his head slightly, "I want to go alone, I'm not young anymore, right? In a while, I will go to Hogwarts alone, please let me adapt first."
"This..." Joanna was unsure of her mind and looked sideways at Earl Barlow.
Earl Barlow hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Yes! However, Paul and Aubrey need to accompany you. Also, you go to the alley by the way, and your uncle has a gift for you."
"Okay!" Li Xiang did not refuse. Paul and Aubrey were both domestic elves of the Golden Griffon family. They were quite outstanding in combat power, almost equivalent to high-level Ao Luo.
Bojin Boke, the owner of the largest black magic store in the Overturn Alley, is the owner of Bojin Boke Magic Store, who is the younger brother of Count Barlow and Li Xiang's uncle.
If it were not for the support of the Golden Griffon Family, how could the Bojinbok Magic Store stand firm in the Overturned Alley?
It was ten o'clock in the morning and the sun was shining.
Li Xiang wore a small black suit, took Paul and Aubrey, and appeared in Diagon Alley directly through the Phantom Transformation. Although the Ministry of Magic has regulations that only wizards over 17 years old are allowed to learn and use Phantom Transformation, Paul and Aubrey are house elves and are not restricted by the Ministry of Magic.
There were many wizards coming and going in Diagon Alley, and Li Xiang did not pay much attention to it, so he went to the Patchet Crucible Shop.
As a freshman, he needed to prepare a standard tin crucible of No. 2. In fact, as the heir to the Golden Griffon family, Li Xiang could have sat at home and ordered the house elf or servant to complete the procurement of school supplies.
But how could Li Xiang be happy?
After all, in Diagon Alley, you might have met Hermione by chance!
After selecting a crucible that meets the standards from the Patchet Crucible Store, Li Xiang spreads his magical sense, but did not notice Hermione's face, with a boring look on his face.
"Paul, Aubrey, let's go over the alley." Although Lee Xiang had watched the Harry Potter movie, he didn't know when Hermione would enter Diagon Alley.
The Overturn Alley is only separated from the Diagon Alley. Although the Overturn Alley has a bad reputation, in fact, the business of the Overturn Alley is very good, almost no difference from the Diagon Alley.
Bojin Boke Magic Store was very eye-catching. Li Xiang took Paul and Aubrey into the store just as soon as he walked into the store, when a joyful voice came, "Oh, little Alvin, welcome! Welcome!"
"Uncle Karaktakus, good morning!" Li Xiang responded with a smile. Bojin Boke's real name is Karaktakus Fox Boke, and Bojin Boke is just his pseudonym.
"Please call me Bojin Boke!" Bojin Boke said seriously.
Li Xiang spread his hands in an old age, "Okay, OK, Uncle Bojin."
Bojin Boke immediately turned into a smile, "Little Alvin, you will go to Hogwarts in a while, right?"
"Yes." Li Xiang nodded, "Does Uncle Bojin have any suggestions?"
"Of course!" Bojin Bock said seriously, "Please join Slytherin Academy! This is the glory of our Bock family!"
Members of the Bock family have been the heritage of Slytherin College since ancient times. If there were no accidents, even after the choice of the school hat, Li Xiang would still be assigned to Slytherin.
"By the way, Little Alvin, I'll prepare a gift for you!" Bojin Bock said mysteriously.
Looking at Bojin and Boke's appearance, Li Xiang finally became curious, "What gift?"
"Hehe, don't you want to guess?" Bojin Bock said insincerely.
Li Xiang thought about Bojin and Boke's gift, the first option to exclude was the magic wand. The magic wand in the wizard world is very strange. It seems that the spirit of the magic wand in the fairy plane knows how to choose the master independently.
Although wizards can use any magic wand, they are not recognized by the magic wand. It is difficult to guarantee whether it is the power of magic, the smoothness of spell casting, and the casting tolerance rate.
It is precisely for this reason that the Ollivander Wand Store can almost be in a monopoly position in the British wizarding world. Although Li Xiang already knows that there are other wand makers in the British wizarding world, their quality is far inferior to the Ollivander Wand Store.
After removing the wand, all of them must be eliminated, such as crucibles, books, brass balances, plain work robes, etc., are too low for these things to be worth, so Bojin and Boke will not deliberately keep it a secret.
‘Could it be…’ Li Xiang suddenly thought of an answer, “Uncle Bojin, did you obtain any rare magical animals?”
Li Xiang has shown a special preference for magical animals since he was a child. Whether it is Ye Ji, a lion-headed, horse-body winged beast, a horned camel beast, or even the legendary cyst poisonous leopard, they are all the objects of Li Xiangying's research.
Bojin Boke heard the magical animal and shook his head quickly, "Little Alvin, don't even think about it, magical animals are very dangerous."
"What kind of gift is that?" Li Xiang was unwilling to guess again, because there were too many possible answers, so he couldn't guess it.
This time Bojin Boke did not keep it in lest Li Xiang talk about magical animals again, which would definitely not be a good thing.
"Here!" Bojin Boke took out an ancient wooden box from below the counter and placed it on the counter, signaling Li Xiang to check it out himself.
Li Xiang was not polite either. Bojin Boke was his uncle, so do you still need to be polite?
He casually opened the quaint wooden box. Among the wooden box, Li Xiang saw a small pointed glass bottle containing transparent liquid. He was slightly stunned and then recognized its identity!
Li Xiang frowned slightly. Although he knew that Bojin Boke Magic Store had a good profit, this gift was of very high value, and in the eyes of ordinary wizards, it was even a sky-high item.
