Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple
Chapter 65 The Legend of Firebolt
The Weasleys all settled into the Leaky Cauldron.
After placing everyone's luggage, Mrs. Weasley hurriedly led the children to Diagon Alley to purchase new supplies.
Because there was still a little bit left over from the Daily Prophet's bonus, the couple decided to spend all the money on their children. For example, they took Ron to Ollivander's to buy a new wand, and then to Madam Malkin's to buy a new wand. Ginny purchased new robes.
Lewis did not go with them. He first went to Giggs Pharmacy and ordered some rare medicinal materials. Because even Slytherin cannot be said to have stored a large amount of basic potion ingredients. After all, he is not a potion master.
The clerk at Jiggs Pharmacy stared at him with a wary eye, as if he couldn't believe that a teenage child came to the potion shop alone to buy such a large amount of materials.
It wasn't until Louis threw a lot of gold galleons on the counter that he started to smile. After all, no one can live with money.
Who knows if he is the rich second generation of an ancient wizard family.
In addition, he also went to the Eela Owl Shop to buy Furla's favorite ferret meat. This guy had been staring at Louis with a resentful look since he came back from Egypt, as if he owed her a life in his previous life. Similar.
After coming out of the Owl Store, he took out a note from his pocket, which was what Ron needed his help to buy.
"The Monster Book of Monsters?"
The manager of Flourish and Blotts couldn't help but tremble when he heard Louis' question.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this book?"
"Are you a student of Hogwarts? Oh, don't mention it. Ever since this book was designated as a textbook, our bookstore hasn't stopped. I've been bitten by this book five times." The manager waved at Louis. His injured finger had a depressed look on his face, "This is worse than the "Invisibility Book of Invisibility" I took before. I don't know which of your professors prescribed this textbook. It's simply torture."
Louis spread his hands, he naturally knew who would order such a weird teaching material. However, there was no need to tell this strange manager.
"No, I don't allow it, stop it!" The manager used his cane in front of the bookshelf to try to stop the two monster books from fighting. He finally pulled one out and was extremely restless.
"I will never buy these books again, it almost bankrupted us!"
The manager finally came to Lewis with this book in his arms, stumbling and looking very embarrassed.
"Be careful, this book is really dangerous." The manager reminded kindly, because he saw Louis slowly reaching for the book.
Lewis smiled and shook his head. He gently stroked the spine of the book with his hand, and the book that was about to become irritable and restless suddenly calmed down.
"how did you do it?"
The manager seemed to have witnessed a miracle. He grabbed Louis and asked.
"Quite simply, the spine is his Achilles' heel."
This sentence reminded the manager of Flourish and Blott Bookstore, and he immediately asked the clerk to follow suit. Soon, the monster books on the bookshelf stopped moving and gradually lay quietly inside.
"Oh, my God, thank you so much, sir." The manager happily gave the monster book to Louis for free.
"Write it down for me, and by the way, I'll give this gentleman a discount on all the books he wants to buy today."
Louis was not a greedy person, so he bought all the teaching materials he, Ron and Ginny needed, including some divination teaching materials.
To be honest, Louis is not interested in things like divination. He never believes in the fate told to him by others, unless it is the crazy Professor Trelawney.
However, soon, a book called "Omen of Death" caught Lewis's attention. To be precise, it was the cover of the book, because the big black dog reminded people of Sirius inexplicably.
"Oh, I wouldn't read this book if I were you." The manager boasted at the side. He was now very grateful to the little boy. "It would be really scary if you could see the omen of your own death at any time. And , this black dog also represents ominousness.”
Louis didn't answer. He stared at it for a while and then looked away. Then he thanked the boss again and walked out the door with a pile of books.
When I came out of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, I met Ron Weasley who had just bought a wand and looked excited.
"Willow, unicorn hair, fourteen inches." Ron couldn't put it down with his new wand. "It couldn't be better."
"That's great Ron." Louis was sincerely happy for Ron. He could finally throw away the old wand that had been used for two years, and thanks to him, the old wand was not damaged.
The two chatted for a while, and Ron took the book from Louis and expressed his gratitude to him.
Not far from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, the Quidditch boutique was crowded with excited students. Louis and Ron happened to pass by and looked forward with curiosity.
An extremely well-made broom was displayed in the window. Before Ron on the side could speak, he heard the child in front exclaim:
"This is the Firebolt, the fastest flying broom in the world!"
"They are the darling of the World Cup. It is said that the broom handle of each Firebolt is made of ash wood. It is streamlined and exquisite, and is treated with a polish as hard as diamond."
"The price is negotiable..." When Louis saw the price tag on the Firebolt, he knew it was a priceless broom. However, the legend of the Firebolt didn't stop there. When used, it could dazzle the broom for several blocks.
Ron was put off by this thing just by looking at it. Although he liked Quidditch very much, the price was not something that a family like his could afford.
"Hey, Louis, isn't that Harry?" Ron looked around, and among the crowd he recognized Harry who was standing in front of the counter and staring at the Firebolt for a long time.
They squeezed through the crowd and tapped Harry on the shoulder, who was paying close attention.
"Oh, hey, Louis, Ron." Harry was startled, and when he turned around and saw his good friend, he was naturally excited.
Ever since he ran away from the Dursley's house, he was not in a good mood. What was even worse was that he almost ran into the Knight Bus and a big black dog that was following him inexplicably.
However, the happiest time these days is when I come to Diagon Alley every day to watch Firebolt. Although I already have a very good broom, Firebolt is the most perfect flying broomstick in the world. For Quidditch like him, For a talented seeker, having a perfect broomstick is a dream.
"Come on, Harry, I'll treat you to Florin's for a drink."
Louis is naturally also very interested in Firebolts, but this kind of thing is not something he can afford now, and naturally it is not something Harry can afford.
Harry let out a big breath. After all, reason prevailed over emotion, and together with Louis and Ron, they left the door of the Quidditch boutique.
