[HP] Illusion

On the other half of the pavement, the boy who was being measured was obviously in great trouble at the moment, the naughty tape measure was nimbly drilling around his body, because he was not used to it, his body seemed very stiff, and he couldn't even move. dare not move.

Madam Malkin was of course willing to cooperate with the guest's request. Harry glanced at little Snape and felt relieved when he found that the boy hadn't noticed. "I want to ask you something."

Mrs. Mojin has opened the store for more than ten years, and she has encountered special requests from customers, but she has never heard of such requests. The request of this gentle and calm young man is obviously a bit embarrassing. y

"Every year?" It's not impossible to send clothes to boys every year, but if the boy doesn't come for a measurement, the size is not a small problem.

Harry nodded, "Yeah, until he graduates. He's a first-year freshman, so I can't bring him here myself because I can't stay here for a few years. Actually, you can just do it according to the average size, oh yeah , he's a bit taller than normal, so you can make it a little bit longer. That's fine." Snape had never been fat, so he wasn't too worried.

Harry still wrote down a few sizes. He didn’t know much about them in the second and third grades, but he could estimate them from the boy in his memory in the fifth and sixth grades. That was when the boy was growing up, so he pumped very quickly. Well, he also knew after the sixth grade. At that time, the height of little Snape should be on par with the future Snape.

However, he will still come a few times after that, and it will be determined when the time comes.

"I know that my request is quite special, so besides the money for the school uniform, I can make up some extra money for you. I hope Madam can agree to my little request."

Harry's attitude was very sincere, and his intentions were good, and his request was not too high. Madam Malkin felt that it was a bit unreasonable for her not to agree.

"There is no need for additional fees." She hesitated only because of the size problem. Mrs. Malkin thought of something, and her smile became brighter. "Perhaps I should thank you."

Harry probably knew what she was referring to, "Can you use owls to expand your business?" After a few decades, owl mailing has become a new marketing method, and almost all shops have such a business, but this era has not yet the concept of.

Most of the time, knowing the general trend of the times and taking the lead is the key to business success.Harry just mentioned this a little bit now, and Madam Malkin has already realized the infinite possible business opportunities in the future-it cannot be just luck to be able to open a store for a long time in a place with the most people, traffic and popularity like Diagon Alley.

Mrs. Malkin smiled slightly: "Perhaps I should waive the bill for you today?"

"That's not necessary." Even if the order could be waived, he wanted to buy it for Snape himself, "as long as you don't forget my reservation order."

While they were talking, the boy had already taken measurements, and he jumped off the low stool. I wonder if it was because he didn't hear the voices of Harry and Mrs. Malkin just now, and he was looking at the young man strangely at the moment.Harry smiled at him very naturally, then waved to him. "Ok?"

Madam Malkin had already begun to process the data neatly when the measurement was completed, while Harry and Snape sat aside and waited. The boy's expression was a little unnatural, "I don't think anyone else needs to buy it for so long."

"They are in a hurry, so we have to wait for someone," Harry said with a smile. "There are a lot of owls there, so I'm afraid it's not easy to make a choice. Let's wait here and go to Lihen Bookstore. It should be the same."

"But……"

Harry patted him on the shoulder, "No but, just listen to me."

He found that as long as he was nice to the boy, or said some intimate words, the boy would be a little at a loss, and then he would be extraordinarily obedient (dumb) and clever (dazed).

This discovery is not in vain.

Harry pretended to look elsewhere, and then sneaked a sneaky look at Snape, and sure enough, he saw his annoyed expression.

"Leave everything to me today." Looking at the lowered head of little Snape, Harry suddenly whispered.

Madam Malkin was still very efficient, and she packed little Snape's clothes in a short time. Harry put them into the space bag, and then took little Snape towards Lihen Bookstore.

"I don't know what kind of owl Lily bought." Harry was a little curious. Every owl has its own characteristics. Although Hagrid looked rude, he chose a snow-white and docile snow owl for him, "Huo Gewarts actually has his own owl shed, where our owls are usually kept, and there are also public owls there."

Little Snape didn't speak, and Harry couldn't figure out what mood he was in.

But since the boy said no, if he insisted on buying it for him, the boy would definitely take good care of it, but it was not what he liked.

"You really treat potions as pets, don't you?"

Little Snape: "..."

When they arrived at Lihen Bookstore, Lily and the others hadn't arrived yet.When little Snape insisted on not wanting new textbooks, Harry only helped Lily pack all the books for little Snape's books, so that no matter whether Lily wanted to buy other books or not, she could save a lot of money. less time.

"Do you want to buy other books?" Harry walked around casually and bought a lot of books.His plan these days is to preview the first-grade textbooks for them. In addition, these books are nothing to these two people who regard learning as a hobby. Harry's abacus is crackling. Little Snape was definitely the most worry-free student he had ever taught.

Little Snape obviously planned to preview the textbooks too, so he shook his head, and he knew that Harry had bought them all for them.

Lily arrived soon, holding a medium-sized owl cage in her hand, and in the cage stood a ginger-colored owl that seemed to be sleeping. Its hair was soft and it looked more golden-yellow. Well, Harry doesn't know its type very well, but it looks quite cute and cute, which makes people like it very much.

After Lily bought a few more books, they arrived at their final destination——

The storefront of Ollivander's Wand Shop is actually not that big, and the gold paint on the outside signboard has long since peeled off. Standing outside the store door, one can see a lonely wand in the display window at a glance.Because there are thousands of wand boxes piled inside, it looks oppressive.

When Harry and the others entered, there was already a guest inside. Obviously, he was also very picky about wands, because there were already dozens of boxes on the ground. Ollivander liked to keep improving, as long as the wand did not match the owner, he Will continue to pick for guests.

The boy's movements were languid, as if he had lost patience with the constant testing of his wand.When Lily came in, he just glanced at it casually, but soon, his body stood upright, and his movements looked chic.

I don't know if it was because of his change of attitude, when Ollivander took out a mahogany, eleven-inch wand, he just held it and waved it a little bit, and the beautiful sparks sprayed like fireworks. When he came out, he didn't know why he kept running and jumping around Lily, shining brightly like stars.

Lily was obviously very interested in this, and she even wanted to touch it, but was stopped by the Evans couple.

"Yes, mahogany is quite resilient, highly protective, and especially suitable for deformation," Ollivander said softly, "it seems that you must belong to it."

Little Snape was taken aback.

When he entered the door, he saw a boy trying a wand, but he was frightened by the boy's appearance at first glance. There was still a little baby fat on the boy's cheeks, he wore a pair of round glasses, and his messy hair Won't look heavy.

And most importantly, he actually saw someone's shadow on the facial features of the boy with round glasses.Although they don't seem to look much alike, upon closer inspection, you can see that the two are indeed somewhat alike, so little Snape's eyes wandered back and forth between the boy and the young man, trying to see how similar they were. The clues come.

Harry's foot did pause when he entered the door. He didn't expect to bump into his father here.Ollivander's wand shop was originally very small. Not to mention the pile of wands in the shop, there were only three customers in the shop, and with Harry and his group squeezed in, the whole shop seemed to be packed. .

James Potter obviously thought about how to strike up a conversation the moment he saw Lily, but because there were several adults around, he didn't know how to speak for a long time, so he just tried his wand at this moment, so he Quickly adjusted his state, and said to the two children who had just entered the store in a particularly heavy tone: "It's finally over, it's really not easy, I wish you good luck." wand case, with a flat mouth.

The fireworks around Lily finally disappeared, and now she looked at the wand in James's hand with obvious interest, "Have you tried it for a long time?"

"At least an hour, I don't know, there are too many wands here, if you can't find it, I'm afraid you'll just keep trying here."

Harry saw the corners of James' mouth slightly curled up, obviously secretly delighted, because Lily was willing to talk to him.

The young man took a peek at little Snape, and found that his brows were slightly frowned, but he was looking at James instead of Lily.

Harry paused, thinking that James' attitude didn't seem too arrogant, did he?Could it be that the legendary future mortal enemy and love rival are extremely jealous when they meet each other? Isn’t there a saying that once you decide to hate something at first glance, no matter what you do, you will not like it Eye.

Like him with Malfoy, Snape with his father.

"One hour?" Lily was obviously frightened, "This way my parents won't be able to catch the train."

"Are you Muggle-born?" James' eyes widened.

"Can't you?" Lily asked strangely.

"No," James scratched his hair in embarrassment, and said incoherently, "Although our family is pure blood, it is definitely not the kind of wizard family that looks down on Muggles, so don't mind..."

Harry sighed, and comforted him: "Lily, don't worry, if we really can't finish the trial, we will follow what we said before, let your parents go back first, and I will take you away."

"Are you a Hogwarts professor?" James was very active. He heard Harry's words and immediately thought of many things.The man looked familiar, though, with the same messy head of hair.

Everyone in the store was looking at him now, and Harry was mentally prepared to have his first conversation with his father, but since his grandparents and dad were watching him together, Harry still had other ideas. A layer of concern.

"I'm not." There was a noticeable pause in his voice, "Severus, who will go first, you or Lily?"

Lily raised her hand happily, "Severus, you don't mind if I come first?"

Young Snape certainly didn't mind such things, and it so happened that Ollivander pulled out a ten and a quarter inch willow wand with one stroke.Harry could barely hold back a burst of laughter.Ollivander puts it this way: "Unicorn hair represents purity, and willow is perfect for wand handling. It represents flexibility and intelligence at the same time. It seems to suit you."

Then Lily waved her hand, and beautiful sparks jumped out instantly, dancing lightly around the bodies of everyone in the store, looking like a dream come true.

"I knew it! I knew it!" Ollivander shouted excitedly, "It belongs to you, beautiful lady, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

Classmate James Potter, who was still in the store and tried for an hour before: "..."

"It seems that you are more picky, right?" Lily gave James a stab at him with a smile.

She shook her wand and tried the levitation spell that Harry had taught them before, and successfully floated the box containing its willow wand to the counter. "It went smoothly, it's really great, as long as you hurry up, Severus, we can go back together," Lily nodded in satisfaction, and she hurriedly urged the boy, "Severus, go and try. "

"Aren't you Muggle-born?" James said dumbfounded, "But you can use the Levitating Charm!"

Lily gave James a sideways look, as if to say, it's no wonder I know how to use it.

The devastated James Potter left the wand shop with a broken glass heart, and those who stayed in the wand shop began a long waiting process.

Little Snape was obviously more picky about wands than James. He tried it out, Lily practiced with the wand he just bought, and it seemed that the movements were very proficient. Ollivander, who was looking for a wand, saw it by chance, and couldn't help applauding Lily.

As for the other three adults chatting aside——

Mr. Evans said: "I just wanted to say that you look a bit like the family just now. I thought you knew each other."

Lily didn't notice much, so she asked puzzledly: "Is there any? But Harry obviously doesn't recognize them."

Little Snape on the side pricked up his ears.

"I really don't know them," Harry denied, "but there are many families in the wizarding world who are related by blood, so I don't know if I will be related by blood." He didn't say anything , to avoid problems in the future.

He thought for a while, and asked with a very sincere expression: "Does it look alike? I can't see it myself..."

Mrs. Evans hesitated for a moment, "It doesn't seem to be very similar. At first glance, it is more similar, probably because of the relationship between the round glasses and the messy hair."

Mr. Evans laughed loudly: "In terms of resemblance, Harry looks very similar to you. Aren't his eyes the same as yours and Lily's?"

Harry, who was accidentally exposed by his grandfather: "..."

"Honestly, I sometimes think we must be family," Mr Evans said cheerfully. "Oops, am I being too enthusiastic, Harry, do you mind?"

"Of course not," Harry said with a smile. "I can't ask for more."

Little Snape pursed his mouth, and the force with which he waved his wand was not as sharp as before.

"Try this birch, thirteen and one-half inches long," Ollivander drew another wand.

Harry, who was talking with the Evans couple, stopped suddenly, causing the other two people to follow him and stop in doubt.

"What's wrong?"

Harry glanced at the brown wand, the pattern on the top looked delicate and exquisite, like a magic spell, and said casually: "Severus, try this one, I think it suits you very well. "

Snape glanced at Harry, then slowly picked up the wand.

Although the magic wand didn't spray beautiful sparks, there was a silver substance flowing and floating in the air, which looked like fluffy clouds.

At this time, only Ollivander's surprised voice was heard in the store: "Merlin, is this the Patronus Charm? How is it possible!?"

——Probably not?Many ordinary wizards can't use it. How could such a young boy know the Patronus Charm? Obviously just a coincidence, right?

——But if it is really the patron saint's spell, the boy looks so small, but can he gather so much happy energy?

"Huh?" Harry also recognized those silver substances, and the floating flocculent substances even vaguely had some kind of shape—of course, it could not be ruled out that his eyes were hallucinating, "It looks very good, it works Is it easy?"

Little Snape didn't speak, he just picked up his wand and waved it again - this wand seemed to fit him quite well, he could use the magic that Harry taught him before, and it didn't crack Bump

"That's it!" Ollivander said excitedly, "It seems that I met two young geniuses today, very few wizards can successfully cast a spell when they try their wand for the first time." In fact There are many little wizards who can't control their magic power at all, and it is said that there are Muggle-born people among them, which is the most magical place.

Harry stood up at this time, and he said to the Evans couple: "I don't know if Lily told you before, but she answered the questions I asked her and Severus correctly, so I plan to give them one Reward a magic wand, I don't know if you would like it."

"Ah?" The Evans couple, who were ready to pay, didn't want to take it or not, "How embarrassing."

"You can't let me break my trust with Lily." Harry changed his words, and the reason sounded right. Although the Evans couple looked embarrassed, they finally let Harry pay the bill.

"Ah, we have to go." Leaving Ollivander's wand shop, Harry checked the time, "Otherwise we won't be able to catch the train back."

Little Snape tugged Harry's sleeve suddenly, "What's wrong?" Harry asked.

"I still have something to buy," he whispered, "Can we stay here?"

"Is there anything else Severus hasn't bought?" Mrs. Evans asked. "What about Lily? Do you have any?"

Lily shook her head, and Harry asked, "Then do you want to go back with your parents, or do you plan to go back with us?"

Lily looked at her parents, and then at Harry and Severus, seeming a little hard to choose.

"Why don't you go back with your parents, we don't know how long we'll have to hang around here," Harry said, "Come here at the same time tomorrow, you'd better bring your Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook."

Lily nodded with some reluctance, "Okay then, I'll come back tomorrow."

Little Snape waved at Lily, looking impatient, but he concealed it well.

After the three left, Harry took little Snape to a soda shop first, and the two ordered the same vanilla ice cream, just to cool off from the heat.

"Is there anything else you want to see?" Harry asked.

Little Snape pursed his lips, and said quickly, "I still want to go to a second-hand bookstore."

Harry nodded. "anything else?"

Little Snape shook his head, before Harry paid him most of the money, except for the textbooks he insisted on not buying, so he still wanted to go to the second-hand bookstore to have a look, if he could find what Harry said Textbooks would be great.

"Well, I also want to buy some potion ingredients," Harry thought for a while, "You have to help me. We'll go after eating."

Little Snape nodded, he wasn't too tired after walking for a day, because Harry put most of his things away, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.

In fact, it's fine if there are only two of you.

—Why doesn't he look like Harry at all?They both obviously have black hair.

Little Snape suddenly thought of the Evans family and the disheveled family just now.

Of course Harry didn't know what little Snape was thinking, but at this moment, he was also thinking of Evans and the Potter family with a tacit understanding.

The author has something to say: I'll go, just came back from the wedding banquet, fortunately caught up with the little red flower at twelve o'clock/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~It's too dangerous

The hands look more and more swollen/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~, I can’t lift my feet

Seems like it's getting serious Bird...anyway caught up...

By the way, did you see it in the previous chapter, little Snape reacted very strangely when he heard Harry say that he liked him and held his hand【Hey.He is very shy [hey]

Thank you for Feng Jingyuan's grenade and Zetu's mine, okay?
