Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

"You don't know what we went through just now!" Harry said loudly to Brian with a pocket full of money on his back as soon as he walked out of Gringotts, his excitement was beyond words.

"Oh? What is it?" Brian stood leisurely aside and smiled softly.

"In my vault, I can't even count the gold coins and silver bars in it. It's piled up like a mountain! It's so cool, I've never seen so much money. Fortunately, my uncle and aunt didn't know, otherwise they would definitely put this Take everything for yourself.”

"Did your uncle and aunt treat you badly?"

"Well, I'm having a hard time."

"Madam Malkin's gown store is in front." Hagrid interrupted the chat between the two, and pointed to the front. "Why don't you go buy uniforms first."

"Okay," Harry and Blaine replied.

Hagrid rubbed his hands together, and his beard twitched a few times. "Harry, Brian, you don't mind if I want to go to the Leaky Cauldron for a refreshing drink. That little trolley at Gringotts is disgusting."

"Old drunkard!" Brian murmured secretly in his heart, and walked into Madam Malkin's shop with Harry.It was the first time for a wizard to come into contact with the wizarding world, and the two were unavoidably nervous.

Madam Malkin was a squat witch in purple robes.Noticing that the eyes of the two little boys were a little nervous, they smiled pleasantly.

"Are you two going to buy Hogwarts school uniforms? We have a lot here. To be honest, there is a young man trying on clothes in it right now."

Brian took out the parchment in his pocket and checked it carefully before saying, "Yes ma'am, we each need three sets of plain work gowns, and I think we need black ones."

Harry didn't speak, took a few deep breaths, looked at the tape measure flying in mid-air, showing a surprised expression.

Mrs. Mojin agreed to Fang Lin's condition, pointed to the back of the shop, and said with a smile: "Of course, which one of you will come first?"

Brian walked over and stood on a footstool following Mrs. Malkin's instructions, looking curiously at the tape measure flying around his body.

The two quickly measured the size, because it took time to make a new robe, Madam Malkin suggested that the two go shopping for other items on the school list first.

Hagrid brought back two chocolate ice creams with a flushed face, which Brian interpreted as hush money, and they were indeed delicious.

They stopped to sell parchment and quills, then bought pewter cauldrons, balances and brass telescopes in the corresponding shops, and Hagrid went to the drugstore to pick up some pre-ordered powders.

After they walked out of the drugstore, Hagrid went over the shopping list carefully. "There are only textbooks and magic wands left. We can go to Lihen Bookstore to buy textbooks first. Most of the students will come here to buy textbooks. Then go to get your robes, and finally go to buy magic wands." Hagrid paused for a moment. He slapped his forehead, "Oh, by the way, I haven't bought you a birthday present yet."

Harry felt himself blushing. "You don't have to."

Brian had just packed his things behind his back, freed his hands, patted Harry on the shoulder, handed Harry a fancy box, and said with a smile, "Happy birthday, Harry. This is for you."

Harry took the box in a hurry. This was the first birthday present he had ever received.For him, birthdays have always been a torment. He has never seen his parents since he was a child, and he is bullied by Dudley every day. His uncle and aunt don't like him.No one ever remembered his birthday "Thanks, thank you."

Today's experience was like a dream for him.

Brian's expression remained unchanged, but he just smiled: "I saw the cake cream on Hagrid's butt! This is a snack I bought when I was waiting for you at Gringotts just now. It's a snack from the wizarding world. Don't hold it against it. good."

"No, it won't, I'm glad."

"This is a chocolate frog, and there are pictures of famous wizards in it. Many little wizards will buy this collection card." Hagrid stretched out his head and took a look, and said, "Let's do this, Harry, I know you don't need to buy it, it's like this, I I am going to send you an owl, he can send you letters and deliver packages."

What else did Harry want to say, Hagrid waved his hand casually, and said with a smile: "You go to Lihen Bookstore to buy this year's textbooks first, and then we will meet at Ollivander's wand shop." After speaking, he turned around left.

Lihen Bookstore is located next door to Mrs. Malkin's Robe Shop. As the largest and most complete bookstore in Diagon Alley and even in London, most students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft will come here to buy textbooks before the school starts.The bookshelves here are filled with all kinds of books, and there is even a piece suspended on the ceiling. The colorful ones are very beautiful.There are leather-bound books as big as paving slabs, and comic books as small as postage stamps.There are parchment scrolls printed with countless strange symbols, and there are also empty tomes without words.

Asking the clerk according to the book list, Brian quickly bought all the books for the first grade.Turning his head to look, he found that Harry was holding a book of "Spells and Breaking Spells" and read them intently.Brian thought for a while, shook his head, went to the depths, grabbed a copy of "The Theory of Magic" by Adney Woflin, and read it as well.

For the current magic world, Brian's cognition can be described as dark.Then books, the carrier of human wisdom, became the most effective way for Brian to understand the world.I want to stay at Hogwarts and practice the Sorcerer's Stone. The premise of fooling around is to have an absolute understanding of the world. This is respect and awe.

"I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to let you two come alone." It took Hagrid a lot of effort to pull the two of them away from the book, "You can't use these spells now, and you still need to learn a lot to this level."

"I understand!" Brian paid for the three books he had just selected, and replied with a tilted head and a smile, "but it's not a bad thing to know more."

"Let me see what it is, "Magic Theory", "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", "Magic Potions and Potions". It's not too far-fetched, of course, when you get to Hogwarts, the library will have them. Haha Leigh, this is for you!"

Harry had long forgotten the book he just read. He was staring at the big birdcage in Hagrid's hand. Inside was a beautiful owl, covered in snow, sleeping soundly with its head buried under its wings.Harry was so happy that he couldn't help stammering his thanks again and again.

"You're welcome. Ollivander is the only one left now. Only the Ollivander family sells wands. You can definitely buy the best wand there."

Not to mention Harry, even Brian, who had traveled through time, showed an expression of excitement for the first time.For him, this is like a key to open a whole new world.

Following Hagrid, the three of them came to a small and dilapidated shop. In the dusty window, a magic wand stood alone on a brown purple cushion.The store door was half open, and weeds were growing luxuriantly at the foot of the wall, and the door was already covered with unknown vines, with long tendrils and green branches and leaves hanging down.The golden signboard on the door has been peeled off, but a wooden sign has been erected beside the door, which reads: Ollivander, a well-made wand since 380 BC.

When the three of them entered the store, the first thing they felt was the narrowness.Except for a small space at the front and back of the counter, the rest of the place is full of slender cartons stacked up to the ceiling.Needless to say, there must be all kinds of wands inside.

Hagrid sat on the bench and waited. Brian counted the boxes idly, but noticed that Harry beside him shook.

"Good afternoon." A soft voice came from the store.
