HP Hogwarts, a piece of daily life

The shop was empty, with some decorations with complicated patterns stacked on the shelves. The boss was a middle-aged man with an afro, with a fat belly and a sparse top of his head.

He was sitting on the reclining chair with headphones on, shaking his head, feeling very comfortable.

Until Lin An knocked on the counter.

He took off his earphones, not very enthusiastic: "Is there anything I need?"

Lin An looked in the glass window of the counter, and then pointed down: "This one is 199 pounds. If I want two and 100 bullets, can I get a discount?"

These are two semi-new Tokarev pistols, made in the Soviet Union.

Of course, it was the first time Lin An had seen a real guy in his two lifetimes.The reason why she understands these is the simple one-line handwritten introduction above, but there is nothing more.

Although at Hogwarts, all Muggle-made mechanical or electronic products will fail, but outside the school, prepare in advance, in case...

In short, there is no big mistake in being careful.

As for the other...

The first-year baby Harry may not be able to accept this for the time being, and Harry is very adventurous in his bones. Lin An does not have the courage to give this kind of weapon with too much lethality for the time being.

So, for Draco.

The boss yelled: "No, no, no discount, it's made in the Soviet Union! It's hard to discount the bullets..."

He muttered: "That's the Soviet Union! When will they start a space war with the United States?"

space wars...

Lin An looked a little dazed.

If you remember correctly, in the past few days, the Soviet Union is about to disintegrate...

However, she shook her head again, now that she can't take care of herself, she only needs to think about the wizard.

Seeing her shaking her head, the boss thought she was dissatisfied with it, and after struggling for a while, he decided to give in:

"Okay! It's Christmas Eve tonight-for the sake of the holidays, 7 bullets for a pound, 100 count... count..."

Math clearly stumped him.

After calculating for a long time, he said: "...14, ah, 13 pounds. Add two guns and discounts for the holidays, and you will give me a total of 411 pounds."

Thank goodness!

Lin An breathed a sigh of relief.

It was the first time she bought such a large item, and she could hear her heart beating wildly while standing here, and her palms were sweating layer after layer.

But in the end, she took out the money steadily from her bag without shaking her hands.

When the boss randomly pushed the pile of bullets and guns over, she couldn't help being a little dumbfounded:

"No box or anything?"

Is it so casual?

The boss laughed: "For an extra pound, I can tie a beautiful bow for you."

That's it.

Lin An had just escaped poverty at noon, and he was determined not to spend money on such places.What's more, she has prepared many packing boxes and ribbons herself.

Before leaving, she stopped again:

"Is there an instruction manual for this thing? Or a shooting guide or something?"

boss:! ! !

His swollen hair was about to explode: "little girl, don't you know anything to buy this?"

Lin An smiled.

Please, she has been Chinese for two lifetimes, so it's only strange that she understands this!

But this, the boss really didn't.

Lin An thought for a while, and decided to look for a shooting guide or something.

As for this gun, she had just turned to the information given by Madden, and it was only on a whim when she saw the picture.

As for why I chose this pistol...

It is purely because in the whole counter, it belongs to him and they are the cheapest - this is the most important.

And it looks very delicate, so it won't be so unfriendly to girls and teenagers.

……

But now, her savings have shrunk significantly.

Looking at the dark sky outside, I don't know if it will snow tonight.

Although it is only past 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the overly dark sky reflects the dirty snowdrifts on both sides of the road, giving rise to a sense of urgency for entering the night for no reason.

She carefully checked if there was nothing missing, then hurried to the supermarket not far away, where she bought her own hygiene products, some paper and pens for taking notes, and a lot of snacks, and then returned to the hotel.

There is still no heating in the hotel, and even Lin An only saw it during the daytime. This is really a dilapidated and simple hotel.

No wonder it is not far from the station, and the house price can only be £5 when it is normal.

However, although she still has a little savings now, the money can't be wasted.

Therefore, she continued to live in it happily.

Compared with yesterday's blizzard, today's experience can be regarded as perfect. She even lit a cluster of magical flames in the corner of the room that would not burn anything.

Accompanied by the raging orange flames, the whole room was filled with fluffy warmth and bright light—at least brighter than the dirty light bulb above the head.

Lin An sat on the bed, took out all the things he bought today, and counted them one by one.

The first thing to count is her current savings.

The original deposit was 135 pounds, and Hank got another 1137 pounds from it. The other change and magic currency were temporarily pushed aside, and all the things bought today were recorded, and finally took stock——

She was left with just £379.

Although this money is still quite purchasing power today, it seems that there is still a long way to go to support my holiday life.

Speaking of holidays, Hogwarts has a lot of them, but they're all piecemeal.

There's a holiday for Easter, a holiday for Halloween, and a holiday for Christmas—but no winter holidays.

And the next time she leaves school, I'm afraid she will have to wait until the summer vacation, which is the end of June.

Before that, she had to prepare the money for her summer vacation, or if she wanted to make any investment... Money must be saved in advance.

Ugh.

She pushed the embarrassing change aside, took out the specially bought gift box, ribbon, and handwritten card, sorted all the gifts one by one, and then wrote the corresponding card.

This is a tedious and meticulous job, and by the time she finished it, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening.

Looking at the stack of gift boxes stacked in front of him, Lin An couldn't help being surprised by his sense of ritual.

how to say?

Although it costs a lot, the feeling of deliberately spending a lot of energy and sharing good things with others is really wonderful.

Tonight is Christmas Eve, and Christmas tomorrow will probably be even more lively.

It's a pity that she still misses the Spring Festival that has long lost its flavor.

……

When everything was ready, she shrunk all the gift boxes back into her backpack and went out again.

The little girl at the front desk of the hotel was decorating the Christmas tree beamingly, and Lin An went out in the joy of everyone, and then tapped her fingertips lightly.

The familiar old red magic bus was rampaging on the street, and finally stopped in front of her almost dangerously.

"—to Diagon Alley."
