time at hogwarts

"Now you can show me your magic. And I don't have money to pay the bill." After saying hello to Tom and ordering two glasses of sherbet, Magos and Hermione found an empty table and sat down. Come down.

"Don't worry, I'm treating you. Try it, it's delicious. After you drink it, I'll cast a magic for you." Magos picked up the cup and touched her cup.

"Okay, you insisted on inviting me, not me." Her voice was very low, but Magos still heard it, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Hermione picked up the drink and took a sip. It was easy to see from her crescent-shaped eyes that she felt great too.

"How about it, doesn't it taste good?" Magos said with a smile.

Hermione's brows twitched, "It's okay, okay, I've already drank. Come on, show me the magic. Of course, if you don't know how, forget it." She turned her head elsewhere with feigned disdain.

Magos originally wanted to tease her, but seeing her arrogant temper and fearing she would be self-defeating, he said, "Of course I can, just keep an eye on it." She turned back to face him with an expression of disbelief, but she was still able to The nervousness was visible in her eyes.

Taking out the wand from his arms, "This is the wand, every wizard must have it. Look at the cup in front of you."

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Magos used a levitating spell on Hermione's cup.Her cup began to rise slowly, stopped about a foot in height, and then slowly fell.

"See, this is magic." Magos said proudly.

Hermione picked up the cup in disbelief and fumbled with it, trying to prove that he had just used deception.There was nothing in the end, but she became even more excited, and her eyes were wide and bright.Just hearing Magos's proud tone, he suppressed his excitement and said in a calm tone, "It's nothing. If I learn it, I will make it fly higher."

"I believe that." McGoss said with a smile.

She originally thought that Magos would laugh at her for not overestimating her abilities, but she didn't expect that hearing these words made her feel a little embarrassed and her face turned slightly red. "I...you...didn't you say you would take me to Diagon Alley? Go now." He drank the remaining drink in one gulp and stood up.

"Okay, okay, you are really impatient. Let's go. Next is the moment for you to witness the miracle." After that, he led her to the open space behind the bar.

"Why did you bring me here?" Looking at the empty space with walls on three sides, Hermione's good feelings turned into vigilance again.

Magos was not prepared to explain anything anymore. He proved everything with his actions. He picked up the wand and tapped the opposite wall a few times, and the wall began to move.The visual effect this time was more than a hundred times more powerful than the cup that floated up just now. Hermione kept her vigilance and watched this scene blankly.

"How about it? Isn't it magical and incredible? You can reach Diagon Alley through here."

"How did this happen?" Hermione muttered to herself in shock, ignoring Maggos.

"This is the secret of magic, I don't know either."

"I didn't ask you." He shook his head. "You go in first."

"No problem." Magos, who was walking in the wall corridor, turned back to Hermione and said, "Since we are both wizards born among ordinary people, we also drank drinks and chatted for a while, and we can be considered friends. I have to remind you. Just tell me, if you want to make more friends, you'd better change the way you speak." Magos said with some sincerity.

"It's up to you to take care of it." These words seemed to irritate her, and she seemed to be really angry. She took the lead from the moment she entered Diagon Alley, and even though she was curious about the things around her, she had no intention of asking him.

"Hey, I'm just saying this as a friend. Why are you so angry?" Magos had no choice but to walk over and break the silence.

"I'm not angry, why should I be angry, and I didn't hurt you...bring you..." At the end of her sentence, she was unable to speak.

"You don't think of me as a friend? Hehe, it doesn't matter. I just think of you as a friend. But I did mean well just now. Why are you so angry?"

"I...I told you, I'm not angry, and...and if you don't have friends, you don't have friends. It's not a big deal." Looking at her strong face and red eyes, Magos decided not to continue this topic. Otherwise, she would probably be unable to bear it any longer.

"Okay, actually I don't seem to have many friends. Well, you're right. If you don't have any, there won't be any. It's nothing special. Let's go, I'll take you to see some fun things." He said and pulled her hand without waiting for her to refuse. Hands run to the jumping fun magic joke shop.

"That's it. There are a lot of interesting things inside. I'll take you to see them."

"But I don't have money." She looked at the crowded store with some restraint.

"It doesn't matter. I'll give it to you if you like it. Just treat it as compensation for making you unhappy." Magos patted his chest vigorously and said grandly.

"I don't need you to send it?" She stuck out her tongue and walked in.

It didn't take long for them to emerge from the shop, and Hermione's initial excitement at seeing these things quickly faded.Magos bought her a magic flower that bloomed on command.Originally she was unwilling to take it, but he said it was a certificate for your parents, so she accepted it.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, there is also a list in the admission notice. Do you remember what it contains? I will take you to see it first."

"Remember. Three sets of plain black work robes, a plain black peaked hat for day use, a pair of protective gloves made of dragon skin or similar materials, and a black winter cloak with silver buttons. Oh, and there is one last sentence. If required, all students' clothing must be embellished with name tags. Then there are books, 8 in total, namely "Standard Spells, Elementary" by Miranda Gorshak, "A History of Magic" by Bathilda Bagshot, A Theory of Magic by Adebe Wulflin, A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration by Emery Switch, A Thousand Magic Herbs and Fungi by Phyllida Spohl, Arseny Giger "Magic Potions and Potions" by Newt Scamman, "Monsters and Where to Find Them" by Quentin Trimble, and "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense" by Quentin Trimble. To be honest, I have never heard of any of these authors.

Then we are required to bring our own wand, probably the kind you use, a standard size 2 cauldron made of pewter, a set of glass or crystal vials, a telescope and a brass Balance.Oh, and they said we could bring an owl or a cat or a toad.To be honest, I don't know what the point of bringing those things is, and there are actually toads. "

Magos looked at her from beginning to end with a blank expression. She said that she had only received it this morning, which meant that she had memorized all the contents of the letter in a short period of time.

"Has anyone told you that you are a genius?" Magos asked deeply shocked.

"Yes, many people have said it." Hermione accepted his compliment calmly.

&

nbsp;"You actually remembered them all. That's amazing. But you're wrong to say those animals are useless. Let me tell you..." On the way to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, McGoss carefully explained to her what she didn't understand. thing.

After entering the bookstore, Hermione ignored Magos and quickly immersed herself in the sea of ​​books.Magos waited patiently for her to read for a while at first, but almost an hour passed, and she seemed to have no intention of stopping, so he had to go over and take the book in her hand.

"What are you doing?" She glared at him again.Magos thinks that big eyes are good, and they look more powerful than others when staring at people.

"Miss, it's been almost an hour. How much longer do you want to see? There were so many interesting things just now that you were not so interested in, and we have to go to other places to see." Magos showed helplessness. expression.

"Ah, it's been so long. I have to go back quickly. My parents don't know I'm here yet, so I won't go to other places today." As she said this, she glanced at the books in the bookstore with some reluctance. .

"Well, you and your parents will come over tomorrow and you can buy all those things first."

"By the way, I haven't asked how old you are yet." Hermione asked him on the way back.

"Ten years old."

"Ten years old." Hermione's voice suddenly became louder, attracting the attention of everyone around her.She lowered her head in embarrassment and said softly to Magos, "You are only ten years old. I just turned 11 today, and I am one year older than you. And doesn't the letter say that you can only receive the notification when you are 11 years old?"

"Yes, I didn't receive the notification." Magos looked at Hermione with innocent eyes.

"But...but how did you know this place without receiving the notice?"

"Hey, I have a pair of eyes that are good at discovery. That's okay."

"Hmph!" He responded with a cold snort.

The two left Diagon Alley and went out of the bar. Magos said to her, "Let me take you back. Your parents will probably be anxious if you have been out for so long." After thinking about it for a while, Hermione agreed. Magos asked After getting the address, Burton sent her back first.After getting off the bus, she was greeted by her anxious parents.

"Hermione, where have you been? Your father and I are so anxious." After saying this, he saw Magos getting out of the car. "Who is this?"

"Hello, aunt, my name is McGoss Will. If nothing else happens, I will be Hermione's classmate next year." McGoss said humbly and politely.

"Classmate?" Her parents obviously didn't expect the letter they received in the morning.

"Hogwarts."

"Ah, it's the school we just received this morning. We were just thinking about where to go to inquire about this school. What a coincidence."

"Mom, Dad, let's go in and talk." Hermione interrupted her parents' questioning.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, please come in, please come in."

"Then I'll excuse you. Burton, please wait in the car for a while."

"Okay, sir."

Hermione's parents couldn't help but feel a little nervous when they saw this scene. He was obviously a kid from a rich family. Could he really be a classmate with her daughter?

After entering the room and sitting on the sofa, Magos went straight to the point and said, "That's it, Auntie, I think you've also seen the notice. Hogwarts is a group of magic schools, and their admissions method is what you received." That letter."

"Magic school?" Her parents were a little incredulous.

"Yes, magic school, Hermione, buy a magic flower to show to Auntie and the others." After hearing Magos's words, they turned their attention to Hermione.

"Why don't you just use a spell," Hermione said as she took out the flowers.

"We are not allowed to use magic at will until we are adults, unless you are in your own home, but even then there are strict restrictions." He smiled bitterly.

"So this is why you didn't use magic outside the bar." Magos nodded.

"This... is incredible..." Hermione's parents carefully inspected the magic flower and had to believe in the existence of magic.

"Auntie, uncle, you believe it now." Looking at her parents who were a little distracted, Magos had to let them digest it.

"It made you laugh, we were too surprised."

"No, you accepted it faster than my father. He didn't fully believe it until he went to that magical world himself."

"Can we go too?"

"Of course, as long as you are accompanied by a wizard, you can see the invisible bar. You can go in by following Hermione."

"Uncle, aunt, I have something important to tell you. You cannot use pounds to purchase magic items. You need to use the exclusive currency of the magic world, gold galleons."

"Jin Gallon? What should we do if we don't?" Her parents asked anxiously.

"It can be exchanged. You can exchange it at Gringotts in Diagon Alley, but I don't recommend that you exchange it now."

"Why?" Hermione interrupted.

"Because for unknown reasons, the ratio of pounds to galleons has been decreasing recently. From a very stable one to five at the beginning, it is estimated to be one to seven now."

Although Hermione's family didn't say anything, it was easy to see from their anxious expressions that they were still stressed about the ever-changing proportions.After all, although dentists make a lot of money, they cannot afford to pay a high proportion of their work.

"Haha, Hermione, aunt, uncle, you don't have to worry. I exchanged a lot of galleons back then, and I can exchange them for you at a ratio of one to five. You can go to Gringotts to exchange them after Gringotts comes down. ”

As soon as Magos finished speaking, Hermione's parents refused directly.

"Auntie, don't refuse in a hurry. In fact, I am going to that magic school, and most of the students are born in wizard families. Those of us who are born in Muggles, oh, Muggles are those wizards who treat ordinary people. There is some ambiguity in the title. We wizards among ordinary people should help each other, and I estimate that his ratio will return to the current state in the next year or so. After all, the magic world is not stupid. The higher the ratio, the higher the ratio among wizards among ordinary people. The more unbearable it becomes, aren’t you right?”

After some talk, Hermione's parents were finally persuaded by him and declined her parents' idea of ​​keeping him for dinner. Before leaving, Magos told Hermione that she only needed to buy the books on the list. He had other books, and she could borrow anything she wanted from him. He left 300 galleons and took away 1500 pounds.

"Goodbye!" Magos sat in the car and waved goodbye to Hermione and her family.
