When Professor McGonagall took the three children out of the wand shop, Ollivander was still preaching about the benefits of the wand-making profession and wanted to sign a contract with Ryan immediately.

Ryan was quite interested in making wands, but he knew that the future shop owner would encounter great hardships in the future, so he wholeheartedly rejected Mr. Ollivander's invitation.

This did not make Ollivander give up his plan to win over Ryan, and he generously gave discounts to the three children.

Hermione's wand cost her 7 Galleons, and magical vine wood was uncommon; Justin's wand cost 5 Galleons; and for Ryan's exquisite product, Ollivander only received 10 Galleons—— This is a very cheap price, because both the heartstrings of the Hungarian pterosaur and the magical black walnut are very rare materials.

In addition, Ollivander also gave everyone a wand care kit.This made Ryan a little embarrassed, thinking that after the Dark Lord died, he could consider engaging in the wand business.

Justin was a little unhappy. He felt that only his wand was a commercial product...

It was already past noon, and Professor McGonagall declined the offer to have lunch with everyone. She still had many things to do.After carefully explaining the precautions for summer vacation and matters related to the start of school (especially how to take the train), she left Diagon Alley through the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron.

With empty stomachs, everyone went to the Muggle business district to get lunch, stopped by the hardware store to buy suitcases, and sorted out a lot of items stored in the Leaky Cauldron.

The most expensive among them was the books, which totaled 13 Galleons for all the textbooks. The crucible and crystal bottle cost nearly 3 Galleons. In addition, the telescope and balance cost 10 Galleons each.

Counting clothes and wands, Ryan has lost 55 lovely gold coins in his wallet. He plans to leave 25 galleons for himself as living expenses, and the rest of the money to buy a few useful books, and of course, give Valer A souvenir from Mrs. Lee.

Justin was a little uninterested. The experience of choosing a wand made him feel that he was too ordinary, and most of his curiosity about the magical world had disappeared. So after expressing his unwillingness to continue visiting Diagon Alley, his aunt first Took him home.

Granger and the Franklin family returned to Diagon Alley together.Ryan first went to "Ms. Primpernel's Beauty Pharmacy" and bought a set of skin care products as a souvenir, which cost 8 galleons.

When paying, Ryan saw that Hermione had also taken a set. He didn't know if he planned to use it himself or give it to Mrs. Granger.

Then, a group of four people entered Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. The layout here was similar to that of Ollivander's Wand Shop. The messy books were piled up to the ceiling and were crumbling.

Mr. Bach and Mr. Granger said hello to the children. The two grown men had been shopping all morning and already had backaches.They planned to sit for a while at Florin's Cold Drink Shop diagonally across the street, and agreed to meet Ryan and Hermione an hour later.

Hermione couldn't hold it any longer, cheered, and plunged into the ocean of books. She was indeed a good child who loved reading.

Ryan carefully identified each book, going around from the front to the end of the store. In the end, he was disappointed to find that there were no books related to Occlumency. Instead, he kicked an invisible book in the corner. .

It seems that the only way to find it is in the library of Hogwarts. Ryan thought that maybe the Room of Requirement could also be a solution.

He walked around the bookshelf again, holding three books in his arms: "Curse and Counter-Curse", "Practical Family Magic Encyclopedia" and "Common Magical Ailments". After thinking about it, he picked up another book "Modern and Modern Times". Spell Choice".

There was also a book called "Forgotten Ancient Magic and Spells" on the bookshelf, which made Ryan very excited, but the price was too expensive, and he didn't recognize most of the words in the book, so he had to give up wisely.

When he returned to the counter, Ryan saw Hermione squatting next to the stack of books, holding "Hogwarts: A School History" and reading with gusto.He handed the book he wanted to the manager to pack, and picked up a copy of "Quidditch Origins" to pass the time.

An hour passed quickly, and just as Lane was reading about how Snitch evolved into the Snitch, Bach interrupted him with a smile.Mr. Granger on the other hand also grabbed the book from Hermione's hand, which made her very unhappy.

Bach paid 7 galleons for Ryan's extracurricular books, and Hermione invested almost all the remaining gold coins in her family. She was even upset that she could not buy the entire bookstore.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when they left the bookstore, and they hurriedly browsed the remaining stores.

After coveting the owl, Ryan and Hermione rationally gave up their plan to have a pet.

Then, Ryan bought the secret parchment and the automatic writing quill at the stationery store - there was a confidentiality spell attached to the parchment, so that only the writer could see his own ink; and the quill was an alchemy product that could be written according to the instructions. The user can record text according to the user's wishes, with an erasing function.

Lane planned to treat them as his own memos, and the first thing he wrote was "Master Occlumency."

Hermione came over and took a look. The paper was blank and she couldn't see anything.This made her a little envious, but she had already spent all her money on books.This set of products also cost the last 5 gold galleons of Ryan's budget.

When leaving, Ryan asked the stationery store owner with some curiosity whether Muggles could teleport themselves home through the fireplace.

The shop owner said that Muggles can indeed use Floo powder, but only if their fireplace is connected to the Floo network, which requires going to the Ministry of Magic to go through complicated procedures.

Finally, the stationery shop owner recommended the Knight Bus, saying it was the most ideal means of transportation in the wizarding world.

Ryan curled his lips looking at his evil smile, but did not reject his proposal.

Compared to the nearly two-hour train ride (especially since there is still a long way to go from the station), Ryan would rather take the exciting Knight Bus. After all, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain.

Mr. Bach and Mr. Granger were also very interested in the means of transportation in the wizarding world, and readily agreed to give the children a try.

Ryan raised his wand into the air, straightened his arm and raised the tip of the wand slightly, making a Muggle-like gesture.

The next moment, there was a deafening crash in the air, and a purple three-decker bus seemed to squeeze out of the gap in the space. Accompanied by the ear-piercing squeal of the brakes, the car was almost ready for the moment before it hit the four people. Stop and give them a stylish hairstyle.

Ryan's legs were a little weak.

"Welcome aboard the Knight Bus, our dedicated service to any witch or wizard in distress... uh, Diagon Alley?"

The young conductor with provocative ears was stunned for a moment, then quickly returned to normal: "My name is Stan Sampack, and I am the conductor for this trip."

"I heard from the shopkeeper over there that you can go anywhere on land?" Ryan asked, "Can you go to Muggle communities?"

Stan Sampac was stunned again. He looked at the four people and quickly smiled: "Of course, as long as it is on land, the Knight Bus can reach it."

Ryan nodded to him and walked onto the bus first.

The space inside the car was much larger than it looked from the outside. There were all kinds of chairs randomly placed inside. Ryan chose a chair with three safety belts against the wall. He first tied the box securely and then tied himself up. On the chair.

The other three people also followed suit. The extreme braking just now had taught them the peeing nature of this bus.

"Where are you going?" Stan asked. There were only four guests on this trip.

"Windsor Station." Bach had to go back to get his car.

"9 Sickles."

Mr. Granger also reported the address of his community, which was not far from London, so he only had a fare of 4 cents and he had a few silver coins left.

"drive!"

With a bang, the backrest of the chair pressed hard against Ryan's back, making him grateful that he was tied tightly enough.

In just a blink of an eye, the driver had already stepped on the brakes, and several benches rolled and hit Ryan's legs.

Stan said hello: "Slow down, Miss Granger."

Ryan watched Hermione pull the box and support Mr. Granger with one hand as he walked out of the car, nodding to him and saying goodbye. Her face was rosy and she was humming, seeming to be quite satisfied with this exciting journey.

A few seconds later, outside the Windsor train station, Lane and Bach were holding on to the wall and retching.
