Hogwarts Archmage

Chapter 8 The golden bear of 1 galleon

If it hadn't been for the occasional owl that brought letters from Ryan and Miley, Marne might have been tempted to ask the Auror department for assistance in finding his father and mother, whom he had not seen for more than half a year.

I heard that their business has already reached the United States, and now the couple is working hard there and has no time to come back.

What do the parents do, and the children actually use the words "hearing" to describe it? From this, you can see how unreliable the Langleys are.

If this were in the Muggle world, the two of them might have been deprived of custody of their children by the court.Of course, it’s not necessarily true. This couple is so rich that they should be able to afford the best team of lawyers.

Tomorrow is Margaery's first day of school, and Old Walder is taking her to Diagon Alley to buy pets, which is the last "luggage" she still lacks.

He didn't plan to buy an owl for Margaery. First of all, it was because of Lucius. The Langleys were all familiar with Severus Snape, and they could borrow him if they needed to send a letter. of.

Another reason is that Hogwarts only allows freshmen to bring one pet, and he doesn't want to use this quota on owls. After all, owls, as messengers, can mail themselves to the school later.

It can be regarded as a small and harmless loophole.

The process of selecting pets went smoothly. As soon as they entered the magic pet store, Margery was attracted by a hamster that was secretly stealing peanuts from the food bowl of its neighbor next door.

Soon, the clerk lifted up the little guy with the bulging mouth and put it in front of Margaery. The stupid thing looked at the little girl in front of him with a blank expression, and his two front paws slowly moved unconsciously, as if Thinking about what this creature is in front of me.

"Okay, Margery, you can choose your next pet." Wald paid the clerk and asked the clerk to put the hamster back into the cage, and they would take it away later.

"No, Grandpa Walder, I just want this little hamster. I don't know why, but when I see it eating, I feel very comfortable, and it even arouses my appetite."

"I know, but this thing doesn't have the blood of a magical creature at all, and it's too cheap. Maybe I can go there with the owl later..." This purebred ordinary rodent is very cheap, and the price is just over gold galleons.

Ma En had always thought that these pets would cost more than ten or even dozens of galleons to start with. But when he went to the store, he discovered that there were actually many cheap pets for sale. The little mouse on the outermost side even only cost one silver. Xi Ke can take it away.

"I think... I might not be able to keep three different pets at the same time..." Margery said hesitantly.

"...Okay, then I'll buy it later. Anyway, this thing is just an ordinary animal with a short lifespan." Walder did not put the money bag away in a hurry, but turned his head and looked at Ma En: "Marn, you have Don’t have any pets you want?”

"No sir, I think I might forget to feed it in less than three days..."

"Ok."

Seeing that the two siblings were not interested in staying in the pet store, he took them on the street to buy various snacks, mainly for Marguerite. Wald felt like a child at home now. The grandfather who traveled far away wished he could buy the entire Diagon Alley and let Margaery carry her to school...

He even went to Knockturn Alley for a kind of high-quality and shelf-stable hard preserved fruit!

It was better for Margaery not to know anything. She probably knew where Knockturn Alley was, and Marne was still a little excited. Before entering, she had already imagined the fierce comparison between Old Walder and one hundred.

However, the reality made him disappointed. When he walked to the preserved fruit manufacturer that did not sell preserved fruits, no dark wizard with short eyes jumped out of Avada.

Seemingly noticing Marn's confused look, Walder stretched out his hand and tugged on his windbreaker and said, "It doesn't take me, even a Muggle, to enter here wearing my clothes and walk out intact."

Wald wore a windbreaker for a rare occasion today. Not to mention, the old man is really handsome.

"Is this dress... anything special?" Margery on the side took a bite of the preserved fruit handed over by the trembling dark wizard, and asked while chewing, her speech a little unclear.

"It's never the clothes that are special. It's just that I preferred this style of windbreaker for a while, and I was not in a very good mood at that time..." Walder took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Margaery, "Also, Try not to eat while talking, not only does it look bad, but it also makes people think you are rude."

These preserved fruits were very chewy, but the taste was really special. Margaery was reluctant to spit out the preserved fruits in her mouth, but her curiosity was rising again, and she was immediately caught in a dilemma.

But Walder quickly helped her solve the problem. He looked at the girl who was still in place and said, "Okay, don't ask anymore. This is not something you should know at your age."

Margaery nodded and continued to chew the preserved fruit in her mouth slowly with confidence.

"By the way, don't eat too much of this food. Don't eat more than one piece a day." Wald seemed to have remembered something, "If you eat too much and exercise the masseter muscles, your cheeks will become wider, which is not good-looking."

Margery nodded again, and her mouth changed from chewing hard to biting lightly.

"Mr. Walder, these dark wizards are so afraid of you, why don't most of them know your name?" Marn asked strangely, looking at the windows that opened and closed as they passed by.

"Little guy, you have to know one thing. For these scum in Knockturn Alley, if there is a dragon passing above their heads, they only need to know that it is a dragon, and they do not need to know what the name of the dragon is. As for the White Wizard, that is another story that I can tell you when you are old enough."

Marn finally figured it out, but anything that Walder didn't want to mention was "I'll tell you later." Who knows how late this will be in the future, maybe by then, even the person who asked the question will forget about it. It's over.

He didn't ask in detail. Everyone has the right to keep their experiences secret. Blindly asking questions may not satisfy his curiosity, but it will definitely make people feel disgusted.

Especially for an old man like Walder, who is almost a spirit. If he doesn't want to talk about it, then in all likelihood, it's really not suitable to talk about it.

When the three of them finished shopping and returned home, Mr. and Mrs. Langley happened to arrive home. No matter how busy they were, their daughter's enrollment was something they couldn't miss.
