Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 237 The trip to Diagon Alley

Putting the bracelet on his hand, Rian felt something was wrong.He seemed to be able to feel that the space in front of him was constantly rolling like waves, and he could also melt into it like water.

"That's just your feeling. If you can really integrate into it, it means that you have mastered the space. Even the god of space will have to spend thousands of years to do it."

After hearing what Ryan said, Anderson shook his head and said.

"Okay, Anderson, thank you for the gift. It's just that I have to go to bed, and I have an appointment tomorrow." Lean yawned and said to Anderson.

"Tsk." Anderson made an inexplicable sound, "You go, I'm about to rest too."

Lean glanced at Anderson. As an undead bone dragon, Anderson actually didn't need to sleep.Even the blue dragons seldom sleep as adults, and they always spend their time on things they are interested in.

But Lien didn't ask, but turned around and exited the box world, and returned to his bed.Not long after, Lean fell into sleep.Pudding quietly appeared in Lean's room, and turned off the light that was still on for Lean.

Lean woke up early the next morning.After washing up, he simply ate a sandwich and came to Granger's house.

This was also discussed yesterday. After arriving at Granger's house, we took the car to the Leaky Cauldron together.

"Okay, are you all ready?" Mr. Granger asked standing at the door.

Hermione checked her belongings: the wand, Gallon, and the pocket that Lean had given her.

"It's over, let's go." Hermione said.

After getting into the car, Mr. Granger started the car and drove cautiously towards Charing Cross Road.Because of the weather, there were two more car accidents this morning, which sounded the alarm for Mr. Granger.

Fortunately, it went all the way to the stop next to the record store, and it went smoothly.

Led by Lean and Hermione, the group came to the Leaky Cauldron.Bar owner Tom is still the same, it seems that he has not changed.

He didn't even lift his head when he heard someone open the door.He knew that those who came in through the main entrance were Muggle-born wizards, and they usually just borrowed it.

And his thoughts were basically correct, Rian and Hermione led the Grangers to the backyard directly.

The trash can is still in place and has not been moved.

"Are you coming?" Rin said, looking at Hermione.

"You brought your wand?"

"No."

"Then you ask?"

Rin shrugged and made room for Hermione.Hermione took out her wand, and tapped lightly on the corresponding position, and a door leading to Diagon Alley appeared in front of the four of them.

"To be honest, every time I see this scene, I feel a little unreal." Mr. Granger sighed.

Mrs. Granger nodded with a smile, it seems that she also agrees with Mr. Granger's words.

"Okay, let's go quickly." Hermione had already walked to Diagon Alley, and was turning around to look at them.

"Come on." Mr. Granger agreed, and then walked into Diagon Alley.

There are so many wizards in Diagon Alley, every shop is crowded with people.If it's something like an ice cream shop, it's even more like queuing.

And most of them are couples out shopping, but there are also family outings.Everyone smiled kindly when they saw the young couple cuddling together.The young lovers seemed to be happy to show off their love to everyone, but they were also a bit thin-skinned, so they had to run away in a hurry while holding the hand of their sweetheart amidst the laughter of the crowd.

"I think I'll go to the pharmacy to buy some ingredients first." Hermione took out a note from her pocket, looked at it, and said.

"Then go and have a look, I also want to buy some rare herbs." Lien shrugged and said.

"Forget it, I won't go. I plan to go to the Leaky Cauldron with your mother for a drink, you two go and have fun." Mr. Granger thought of the strange smell of the pharmacy, and looked around at the young couple , and finally decided to let the two buy it by themselves.

And as a Muggle like myself, there is always something wrong with following behind, and the children will also be a little restrained.

"Yes, to be honest, the smell of the pharmacy is really not very good." Mrs. Granger said the same.

"Okay." Hermione really wanted to go shopping with Lean, so she agreed.

After the Grangers returned to the Leaky Cauldron, Hermione blushed and pulled Lian to start shopping. As for going to the pharmacy to buy raw materials, the two of them temporarily forgot.

After playing around for a while, Hermione finally remembered her purpose of coming to Diagon Alley, so she dragged Lian to the pharmacy.

As soon as I entered the pharmacy, the owner of the pharmacy came forward with great enthusiasm to recommend medicines.

"Aha, are the two of you a couple? Would you like a bottle of secret perfume? It's great!" As he spoke, the pharmacy owner rolled his eyes and showed a wretched smile.

Hermione seemed to understand what the pharmacy owner meant, and her face turned red.It's just that she didn't make a sound, she just lowered her head and pulled Li En's arm.

"Sorry, no need, we're just here to buy some raw materials."

"In addition, you added a little too much psychedelic grass, about two grams less. You can also add some water ghost vine juice, which can make the medicinal effect last longer and the taste more acceptable."

Lien smiled and declined the kindness of the pharmacy owner, and also gave suggestions for improvement.

The pharmacy owner's face froze, but after carefully considering the improvement suggestions that Li En said, he became enthusiastic towards Li En in an instant.

"Haha, that's right, which master's disciple are you?"

"Severus Snape." Lean took out Snape's name without hesitation.

"Oh! Professor Snape's disciple. Haha, thank you for your suggestion. Today, all your consumption will be discounted by [-]%. Don't be too small, let me earn some money."

The drugstore owner said with a smile, showing his full mouth of yellow teeth.

Hermione frowned. As the daughter of a dentist, she also had an inexplicable obsession with teeth.

"Thank you very much." Lean thanked the pharmacy owner, and then took Hermione to choose herbs.

"What are you going to buy?"

"Let me see, mole grass, lily petals, dog oil, ghoul brains, snake teeth..." Hermione listed the names of dozens of materials in succession.

"So much?" Lean asked in surprise.

"Hmm, I plan to configure some owl potions. Recently, more and more people like to take risks at night."

The Owl Potion is a potion that allows people to see clearly in dark environments, among other things, it also allows people to see ghosts.

"The owl potion doesn't need so many ingredients, and I remember that the owl potion seems to be a high-level potion. You came into contact with it so soon?"

"Come on, at least you know your girlfriend better?"

When Hermione said the word "girlfriend", her face turned slightly rosy.

"Okay, I'll get you a potion book when I go back." Lean decided to open the knowledge of other worlds to Hermione.

"Then I'll watch first." Hermione bent down and picked the ingredients on the medicine shelf, "Actually, the owl potion is the result of half a month of my practice."

"Now I can only refine such a high-level potion, and I haven't tried other potions. In fact, there are very few formulas for high-level potions in the library."

Only some harmless and common high-level potions will be placed in the public area, while others will be placed in the restricted area.

"They should all be placed in the restricted area."

"Rin, that's a violation of school rules."

Hermione turned around with a look of helplessness on her face.She was the good girl at school, not the troublemakers like Potter and Weasley.

"Well, if necessary, you can go to Professor Snape. He owes me a favor, you go to him, and he will help you."

"Actually, I think I returned the favor just now, and you actually used my name to swindle outside!"

A voice colder than the snowflakes floating in the sky outside sounded from behind Rian.

"Haha, Professor Snape, that doesn't count. Seriously, with a student as smart as me, I think you can wake up laughing at night."

Lean turned around, looked at the expressionless Snape and said.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the corners of Snape's mouth twitched unconsciously.Maybe even Snape didn't expect that his student's face became so thick after wandering around for half a year.

"Did you just sharpen your face after you went out for half a year?"

"Of course not, do you like the Christmas present I gave you?"

Lean's Christmas gift to Snape was a magical awakening potion.

The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, so Lean decided to use Snape to make a name for himself as a magic awakening potion.And a master pharmacist, no matter what, he couldn't refuse a strange medicine.

So Lean was sure that Snape would study it.

Hearing what Lean said, Snape's face changed drastically, and he couldn't even maintain his own Occlumency.

"Damn it, come with me."

Saying that, Snape walked out while holding Lean's arm.

"Hermione, you buy the materials first, I'll be back soon." Lean said to Hermione.

The two came to a small room in the pharmacy, Snape carefully closed the door, and then put a spell on the room to prevent eavesdropping.

"Do you know what that means? Trouble, big trouble, a big trouble you can't bear," Snape called to Rian.

"Please rest assured, professor, no one knows what this potion means better than me." Lean said calmly.

"Where did you get the recipe?"

"Can't it be developed by myself?"

Snape froze for a moment, then asked, "You developed it yourself?"

"No, I got it from the ruins."

Snape's hand curled into a fist involuntarily.

"What do you mean by giving me this potion? Do you want to sell it? But with all due respect, it is impossible for this potion to pass the Ministry of Magic's test before it has been tested. And once you send it to the Ministry of Magic for testing, Then this potion has nothing to do with you."

Snape snorted coldly, he couldn't be more clear about the virtues of those people in the Ministry of Magic.

"In fact, there are already many successful cases." Lien said slowly.

"What? You actually conducted experiments in private?"

"Relax, professor, I just gave them a chance. And I believe this potion will not let me down. Every potion room should have full confidence in their potion."

In fact, Andre is indeed a guinea pig.

"Hmph, I suggest you better reconsider." Snape resumed his expressionless face.

"Professor, will someone go to grab Professor Dumbledore's things?" Lean asked.

"Heh, that old guy was kicked out of the principal position last school year, don't you forget?"

Lien's face froze, and he gave the wrong example, which was really embarrassing.

"This is the wizarding world after all, strength speaks for itself. If Voldemort were standing here, would those bastards from the Ministry of Magic dare to fart?"

Snape took a deep look at Rin, and then said: "Since you have already made up your mind, then do as you wish. But I have agreed in advance that I will not release the potion until it is fully tested. wind."

Snape still paid great attention to his own brand, so he would only help Lean build momentum after he was completely sure of the effect of the potion.

"how long?"

"Let's say half a year, it's a big deal."

Lien thought about it for a while. It took half a year to experiment with a suitable alloy. At that time, he could just exchange potions for magic metals, so he nodded.

The conversation was short, but its impact on the wizarding world was profound.

When Lean came out of the small room, Hermione hadn't finished selecting the materials she wanted to buy.

"This herb touched a rhizome when I dug it up. Look here, there's rust."

"This herb is not very good. It doesn't look as big as the others. Maybe it's not old enough."

No matter how perfect the herb was, Hermione could always find a flaw.

But it was precisely because of this rigor that the herbs Hermione picked out were perfect in every way.

Even if it is sold at this moment, even if the price is increased by 30.00%, there are people rushing to buy it.

An hour later, Hermione finally bought all the herbs she wanted to buy.When she took the herbal medicine to the counter to pay, the surprised face of the pharmacy owner really opened Lean's eyes.

For the first time, Lean knew that someone could really make such complicated facial expressions.

"You just took away the best batch of herbs in my store." The pharmacy owner said weakly, "Well, I will not break my promise, there are a total of 32 Galleons, you just give [-] Galleons .”

Hermione counted some money, took out 32 Galleons and put them on the counter, then put the materials into her pocket, and left the pharmacy.

"What are you going to buy next?" Lean asked.

"Let's go buy some clothes. The robes I bought earlier don't fit well." Hermione said shyly.

Lien nodded, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who is growing fast.
