Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 238 Strength Is the Fundamental to Being Respected
After making the decision, Lean and Hermione came to Madam Malkin's robe store.

Pushing open the door and walking into the store, Mrs. Malkin is enthusiastically measuring the body data of each customer. On the table next to her, an automatic quill is shaking frantically, recording the data measured by Mrs. Malkin.

It's just that it will jump into the ink bottle from time to time to soak up the ink, and then jump out again, and land on the parchment with a "la", leaving a puddle of ink along the way.Lean was very worried about whether Mrs. Malkin could see the above data clearly in the end.

Mrs. Malkin moved very quickly, fully demonstrating the craftsmanship of a tailor.Soon, it was Hermione's turn.

"Oh, cutie, you're tired from wearing so much in winter. Would you like to try the new robes with heat-retaining spells?"

Madam Malkin held a tape measure and sold Hermione while measuring the data.

"Not for now." Hermione declined.

After buying potion ingredients, she didn't have much Garen left in her pocket.Hermione also had to go buy some stationery, so forget about the robes with the Warming Charm.

In the wizarding world, it's common knowledge that once an enchantment is cast on an item, it becomes expensive.Because not every wizard can cast spells on items, only those who are proficient in spells can do so.

"Okay, turn around, I want to measure the back." Mrs. Malkin was not annoyed, she still said with a smile.

Originally, when she saw the clothes on Hermione, she knew the final result.

"Okay, the data measurement is over. But there are a lot of orders recently, and I will mail the clothes to you with an owl."

Hermione looked at the thick stack of parchment next to her, and nodded.

After paying a Galleon deposit, Hermione followed Lean out of the robe shop, and their next stop was to exchange ink and stationery.

This store is a store specializing in stationery such as quills, parchment, and ink.

"Ha, welcome. Our store recently launched a paper that can be exchanged for information. Do you want to take a look? Oh, the Christmas event launched by our store. Anyone who spends more than [-] Galleons will get an exchange paper."

As soon as I entered the store, the guy next to me came up to sell it enthusiastically.

"I want to take a look first." Lean refused.

"Of course, you are welcome, sir." The man said with a smile, and then retreated.

Hermione first went to the area where parchment paper was sold and bought three dozen parchment papers. Hermione, who took all the elective courses, did consume a lot of parchment paper.

After buying the parchment, Hermione went to buy some ink.These inks are specially made, so using Muggle inks will not work.

But Hermione didn't buy the quill. Under Lean's leadership, the little girl seemed to be more accustomed to the pen.

Lian walked around the ink area and bought a secret ink.This kind of ink needs to be matched with a special quill. Before writing, input a magic power with a certain frequency into the quill, and then write with this ink.

After writing the words, within half an hour, the written content will completely disappear, unless the magic power of keeping secret is input into the handwriting, otherwise the handwriting will not appear.After three mistakes, the ink would burn, burning the entire parchment in an instant.

The function is very powerful, but the price is not beautiful.A bottle of about twenty milliliters of ink costs five Galleons.And the special feather pen is also five Galleons.Lean bought a total of three bottles of ink and a quill, which cost a total of twenty Galleons.

"It seems that there is nothing to buy." Rein said after taking the gift of exchange paper and putting it in the bag.

Hermione nodded too, and the two left the stationery store.

Lien looked up at the sun, guessing that it was almost noon, so he said, "Would you like to eat something?"

"Okay, call Mom and Dad." Hermione thought for a while, and felt that she was a little hungry, so she nodded and said.

"Of course."

So Hermione happily ran to the Leaky Cauldron to find Mr. and Mrs. Granger.

Hermione came back soon, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Granger, and the group walked towards the dessert shop.

Mr. Granger frowned involuntarily when he heard about the dessert shop.However, under Ryan's persuasion, he finally agreed.

As for Lien's persuasion, he just took one Sickle and bought a bottle of tooth protection medicine at the shop where he just bought the medicinal materials.The preparation method of this kind of potion is very simple, no magic is needed at all, even ordinary people can configure it after training.

The four of them came to the dessert shop, sat down one by one, ordered what they wanted to eat, and then sat and chatted while waiting for the dessert to be ready.

"Well, that's not bad. Is the formula for sale? I want to prepare some for my clinic." Mr. Granger held the bottle of toothpaste in his hand and looked at it in the sun, and soon After thinking about the biggest use of this potion.

"Of course. In fact, this formula is nothing in the magic world. It belongs to the kind of formula that everyone knows."

Lian shrugged, then took out the parchment, and began to write.After finishing writing, Lean blew lightly twice to let the ink dry quickly, and then handed it to Mr. Granger.

"Thank you so much, I think with this formula, I will definitely become the greatest dentist in the whole country." Mr. Granger happily took the formula.

"Eh... what is sage? Also, does this potion really need leech juice?"

Mr. Granger frowned as he looked at the formula.It's not that he hasn't seen the world, but that this formula is indeed a bit strange.

"Don't worry, you can sell it completely. As long as customers don't know, then I don't think they will sue you for disregarding their beautiful teeth."

Ryan shrugged and said.

"By the way, you can also say that this is a formula from the Far East. You also know that those pharmaceutical giants have never been interested in these."

"Besides, if it is sold in large quantities, it may be targeted by the Ministry of Magic, so it is best to only sell it in the clinic."

Lean slowly explained the pros and cons to Mr. Granger, and Mr. Granger quickly figured out the truth and nodded in agreement.

"Gentlemen and ladies, your desserts are ready." The waiter brought the desserts in due course.

Hermione ordered strawberry pudding with lemon juice, and asked the chef to reduce the sugar.Mr. Granger ordered a bacon sandwich with strawberry juice.Mrs. Granger ordered the same as Mr. Granger.

Lean ordered a vampire's feast with grape juice. The so-called vampire's feast is actually just a variety of red jams spilled wantonly on the cake.The cake was dark red as a whole, like dried blood.

"You can eat such a strange dessert?" Hermione asked.He was the first to question Ryan's desserts.

"Actually, the taste is not bad, sweet and sour." Lien said.

"Then enjoy it slowly." Hermione said with disgust.

Lean just wanted to try this out of the blue. To put it bluntly, it was pure curiosity.

Several people chatted while eating, but the waiter didn't come to chase them away.This dessert shop should have been expanded by the No Trace Stretching Charm, and the interior and exterior spaces are completely inconsistent.

After eating, Lean went to pay the bill, and then left the dessert shop.

"Is there anything else I need to buy?" Ryan asked.

"temporarily unavailable."

"What is temporary?"

"I just think of something for the time being, so I will buy it again."

"So why not buy it now."

"Because I can't remember."

Sometimes, the conversation between lovers is so boring, but inexplicably, both parties still enjoy it, and don't think that these are actually nonsense.

After confirming that Hermione had nothing to buy, they decided to leave Diagon Alley.The wizarding world is still very unfriendly to the Muggle Grangers.

In just a few minutes of standing and talking, there were already several curious eyes cast over.Not malicious, but curious like seeing a foreigner.

But even though it wasn't malicious, but being looked at by so many eyes, the Grangers felt like monkeys in a zoo, letting the tourists come and go to watch.This feeling was terrible, and even overwhelmed my curiosity about the wizarding world.

A group of four rushed to the Leaky Cauldron, but unfortunately, they met Lucius Malfoy and his son Draco Malfoy on the way.

Draco, who saw the four of them, raised his face, his face was full of arrogance, and was about to take a step forward, and then started to laugh at them, but was stopped by his father.

Draco looked at Lucius suspiciously, but Lucius ignored him.

"Merry Christmas, Mr. Zell." Lucius said with a smile on his face, leaning on his civilized stick in the wand shop.

"Merry Christmas, Mr Malfoy."

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Lean would not refuse Lucius' overtures.

After Lean finished speaking, Lucius took the initiative to pull Draco aside, making way for Lean.

Lean smiled at Lucius, and then left Diagon Alley with the Grangers.

"Father, why did you make way for...they?" Draco changed his vocabulary under his father's stern eyes.

"Because that Mr. Zell has strength, so I have to respect him, you know?"

Lucius sighed, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the way he educated his heirs.The Malfoy family has stood up for so many years without falling, isn't it because they have both sides.

Could it be that his stupid son really believed in the nonsense of pure blood supremacy?

Lucius was frightened by his own thoughts, he looked at his son, and then quickly led him out of Diagon Alley.He couldn't wait to verify whether his son was a fool or not!
On the other side, Hermione looked at Rin curiously.The Grangers were also full of curiosity. They had also heard rumors about the Malfoy family from Hermione before.

That is an arrogant and evil family. I heard that the current patriarch was a terrorist before.Hell, can even terrorists be patriarchs in the wizarding world now?

Mr. Granger kept thinking in his heart, but there was no expression on the surface.

"Rin, what on earth did you do, even Chief Malfoy gave way to you?"

When they got in the car, Hermione still couldn't hold back and asked.

Lean noticed that the Grangers' ears pricked up after Hermione's question.

"Hermione, I didn't do anything, I just improved my strength. Just like Professor Dumbledore, no matter where he goes, others will subconsciously respect him."

"Know why? It's not his string of titles, it's just that he ended two Dark Lords."

"This is the magic world, after all, strength speaks. When you have the power to fight against the entire magic world, you will find that all power and wealth are just clouds."

Hermione was silent, she wanted to refute, but she seemed to think that Rin was right.The Grangers also lowered their ears. What Rian said was true, but it was also the hardest thing to do.

Not everyone can become as strong as Dumbledore, so the method Lean said is not universal.

Mr. Granger began to concentrate on driving, and Mrs. Granger also began to think about what to have for dinner today, and the car fell into silence.

Soon, the car arrived at Granger's house.

"Okay, kids, we're home." Mr. Granger said happily as he opened the car door.

He also wanted to understand.

Now that Lean's current strength is so strong that even the pure-blood nobles who stick to "pure-blood supremacy" have to put down their figures, it means that Hermione has also obtained a layer of protection in disguise in the magic world.

In this way, Hermione can be regarded as having a place in the wizarding world.

"Lean, stay and have dinner tonight." Mrs. Granger invited.

Hermione also looked at Rin, her eyes full of persuasion.

So Lien nodded, and he was also happy.

After dinner, Lien did not stay overnight, but returned to his hut in the woods.

In the box world, Lean looked helplessly at Anderson who had no fighting spirit.

Since entering the Christmas break, Anderson has fallen into a state of decadence.Fortunately, when Lean asked the question, Anderson answered honestly.

Apart from holding a banquet on Christmas Eve, everyone in the manor didn't have any intention of a holiday, and they were still busy with their work every day.

It's just that people who have awakened their magic power will diligently exercise their magic power control before going to bed.

Christmas holidays are always over, and in the blink of an eye, Lean was already on platform nine and three quarters to send Hermione to school.The Grangers, on the other hand, went to the clinic early, and there was a backlog of appointments during the Christmas holidays.

"Hermione, here's a pudding for lunch, you take it and eat it on the road."

Rian took out a beautifully packaged insulated box and handed it to Hermione.

"Hmph, are you going to travel again?"

"Of course, at least the goal must be completed."
