HPMRS CH 140: Shopping trip!

Sorry for the late update...

...

Over time, the excitement brought by the treasure hunt slowly receded, and the daily routine was back on track. At breakfast one day, Ryan was eating a boiled egg. The announcer on the TV suddenly started to read a new piece of news and it caught his attention.

"...The public must be aware that Black has weapons on him, he is extremely dangerous. A hotline has been specially set up. Who knows Black's traces must report immediately." Then a thin face appeared, all tangled together with hair as if depicting a crazy person. The picture of a man with messy hair looks quite vicious.

"It's a bit strange. Shouldn't this kind of escapee news be reported with from which prison he escaped? Why is this not reported? Is this a special prisoner of the military or the intelligence department?" Mr. Lambert said while applying jam to the bread.

"This man is a wizard. When I checked the history of the wizarding world through old newspapers in the school library, I saw this man. Legend has it that he killed more than a dozen people in one go."

"Oh my God, he's so dangerous," Sally exclaimed.

"But the strange thing is that he didn't run after killing people, but waited to be arrested on the spot. In the end, he was sent to the wizard's prison without interrogation."

"Without a trial?" Mr. Lambert noticed the word in Ryan's words. "That means he didn't necessarily commit a crime, or he may just be the unfortunate person who unfortunately appeared at the murder scene. It seems that you must be careful when you go to school over there. The wizarding world makes people feel insecure."

"My son is just going to school, how can he cross paths with this kind of dangerous criminal," Sally shouted a little displeased as the father and son started discussing the murderer.

"Wife (mom ), we'll shut up and eat now." Ryan and his father looked at each other and hurriedly ate the food.

Ryan felt that he might be a fake protagonist, because the rest of the holiday was very ordinary, and he did not encounter any dog-shaped Sirius that the protagonists easily meet in many fanfictions.

During the last week of the holiday, Ryan and Hermione took the subway to Diagon Alley to shop. Just as they opened the door leading to Diagon Alley on the wall behind the Leaky Cauldron Pub. They heard someone say hello to them.

"Ryan, Hermione, here!" Following the voice, they saw Harry Potter sitting in the bright sunlight outside the Florin's shop, with quill pens and parchment piled on the table in front of them, and a box of fruit ice cream.

"Oh, it's nice to see you again. I've heard that you'll go to Brazil as exchange students and study there for the first half of this year. Is this true?"

"It is true, a total of 12 students were selected to go on exchange in Brazil. I heard that the Ministry of Magic restored this cultural exchange programme as it was interrupted because of the war more than a decade ago, this will now continue in the future too." Ryan explained to Harry.

"I really envy that you can go so far away, it's like I can't even go to Hogsmeade this year," Harry said dejectedly.

"You are already lucky, Longbottom wrote me a letter asking me about some problems with summer homework and told me that you inflated your aunt during the holidays. In this case, to be honest you have not been punished. I think it's a little weird. After all, according to Longbottom's description, there must be at least a warning given for the lightest and slightest use of magic by minors outside of school, in case the magic is used on muggles ministry can even confiscate your wand for a prolonged time." Hermione said seriously.

"I didn't mean to do that," Harry said. "It was just a momentary loss of control because she insulted my parents so much."

"Understandable, but you better think about it when you do these things in the future. This time you are just lucky because you haven't been punished, but you can't always depend on luck."

"Okay, what's done is done, Harry is all right, so is his aunt, isn't that right Harry." Ryan looked at Hermione who wanted to preach again, and quickly changed the subject: "We have to buy a lot of books this year, I think we should hurry up."

"I'll go with you. After all, I've been in this Diagon Alley for more than a week." Harry immediately put the paper and pens on the table into his schoolbag, and then jumped up to lead the way.

They first went to the magic drug store to replenish the potion supplies, and then went to the robe specialty store to buy a few new robes, as well as the dress robes needed for this exchange. Have to say that everyone grows up quickly after entering puberty, as the old school uniforms no longer fit them.

Even Ryan had to use Deathclaw's skin to make a new assassin costume for himself in the Fallout World before, and at the same time, he renewed the Hidden Blade and the hooks to fit his new figure.

For the Hidden Blade, the metal remains near the heart of the Glowing Sea were purified and used as the raw material, and now the rune is inlaid Into the hidden blade with gold and silver inlaid on it.

This also gave Hidden Blade a certain ability to fight against magic.

Finally, they came to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy new textbooks. When they got to Brazil for exchange this time, they would get the textbooks there when they arrive. But Ryan and Hermione still decided to buy Hogwarts textbooks for self-study.

As soon as he walked to the door of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, Ryan discovered that there was an iron cage in the window.

In the cage, there are more than a hundred large books with gold titles printed on the green covers.

Walking into the bookstore, the manager walked up, "Are you kids from Hogwarts here to buy textbooks?"

"Yes," Ryan said. "We want two sets"

"Are these Monster Books", Ryan said while looking at the book list.

"I don't know which professor asked for these books. They were delivered directly in a cage when they were purchased. It is not easy to get them. Not to mention that they have not been printed since the purchase until now. I swear I will never buy such books again." the manager while complaining about it, wore a pair of very thick gloves, picked up a very thick, full of knots cane, to the cage.

Ryan used magic to perceive the book in the cage, and then suddenly said to the manager, "I have a magic that can temporarily settle them down, can I give it a try?"

"The Stupefy spell definitely won't work. A weaker intensity will only irritate them, and a stronger intensity will light up the book." The manager turned his head and looked at Ryan and said. "Are you really sure you can do it?"

"If the book breaks, I'll take the blame," Ryan said swearingly. When the manager saw that Ryan was so confident, so he let him try.

Ryan walked to the cage and struck a golden rune in the air with a magic wand, and then uttered a spell in ancient Viking: "Soothing." After the voice fell, all the books immediately stopped playing, one by one. Fell to the bottom of the cage quietly.

"Oh, that's great, you hurry up and bundle these books." The manager asked the clerk to fasten the books, and then said to Ryan: "I will give a 30% discount to the three of you today."

Ten minutes later, the three people walked out of the bookstore with all the books they bought.

Looking at the schoolbags, they knew that they had bought a lot of books. In addition to textbooks, Hermione and Ryan also bought several reference books, even Harry bought a Quidditch-related book.

And the happiest person besides the bookstore manager is Ryan because he received the notification that he has gained two offset points.

When they passed by the shop window, they could see that the cage was gone, replaced by a display stand with "The Monster Book of Monsters" written on it.
