And so, with two weeks left on the summer vacation, Evan and Harry stayed at the Leaky Cauldron.

Compared to Harry's excitement, Evan had more to do.

Over the next few days, he visited almost every magic shop in Diagon Alley. He persuaded merchants to advertise in their newspapers, and thanks to the increasing sales of Hogwarts Wizardry, many merchants were willing to do so, paying much more than they had originally paid.

This gave Evan a lot of savings, and he bought himself a lot of things, such as potion materials that far exceeded the amount used by normal young wizards.

Last semester, when he was preparing the compound potion, he recorded all the potion recipes in the book "Powerful Potion", which contained many practical potions that were very helpful in improving his combat ability. If you want to buy a finished product, you need a lot of gold galleons, which is far less cost-effective than boiling it yourself.

In addition to that, he bought a fantastic model of active constellations.

With it, you don't have to take astronomy classes anymore in the future. Evan was fed up with the freezing of the towering Astronomy Tower every Wednesday night, especially considering that he had a strong fear of heights.

Next, he went with Harry to buy something from the school inventory.

They first went to Madame Morkin's robes shop to buy new robes, and as soon as they came out of the shop, they saw a group of people huddled in front of a shop.

Curious, they leaned in, and Evan noticed that it was a Quidditch boutique with a beautifully crafted broomstick in the window.

"The fire crossbow arrow represents the highest level of craftsmanship of the flying broom! The broom is made of ash wood, which is streamlined and exquisite, and has been treated with a polishing agent as hard as a diamond, and has a hand-engraved registration number."

Evan only glanced at it and lost interest, but Harry beside him almost pressed his face to the glass window.

"Let's go, Harry, you've got a good broomstick, there's no need to buy one. Evan thought of the Christmas gift his parents gave him last year, a light wheel 2001, as if he had been thrown under the school bed since he received it.

"But this is a firebolt, the fastest broomstick in the world. ”

"It's also the most expensive!"

Harry nodded approvingly, he looked at the label, it said the price was negotiable, he didn't want to think about how much this firebolt was worth, one thing was for sure, it must not be a price he could afford.

It took a lot of effort for Evan to pull Harry away, or he would have been able to stand here all day, staring at a broomstick stupidly.

After leaving the Quidditch Shop, they went to the Blotted Bookstore to buy new textbooks.

Evan needed to buy new Defence Against the Dark Arts books, and Harry added two new courses, Protecting Magical Creatures and Divination.

However, as soon as they entered the bookstore, they were startled, the bookstore was in a mess, the original beautifully bound spell books were gone, and in their place were several large iron cages, which probably contained about two hundred copies of the Youkai Books.

The books were locked together, in a furious wrestling contest, belligerent biting and fighting, and broken pages flying everywhere.

"Is it from Hogwarts, are you here to buy new books?" the manager greeted him impatiently, and when he saw Aven, a smile appeared on his face, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Mason, what books do you need to buy?"

In just one year, Evan bought more than 200 magic books at the Blotts, making him almost the most popular customer at the Blotts.

"Uh, what's the matter with these books?" said Aven, gesturing to the iron cage.

"Not to mention, these 'Yokai Books of Yokai' are simply the worst books I've ever seen in my life, even worse than the 'Invisibility Book of Invisibility' that I have seen before, they make a lot of trouble. It's hard to imagine that I've been bitten five times this morning. ”

As soon as his words fell, a loud tearing sound suddenly came from inside the cage, and the two "Youkai Books of Monsters" grabbed the third one and worked together to tear it apart.

"No, stop, stop!" the manager cried out, "I'm never going to store these books again, never!" the manager cried out, "I'm not going to store them anymore, never!" it's a nightmare, and if I knew what idiot had designated this kind of book as a textbook, I would kill him. ”

Hearing his words, Harry hurriedly turned his head.

Hagrid had given him a copy of the Monsters' Book the other day, which gave him a strange sense of unease, and his intuition told Harry that Hagrid must have designated these books as teaching materials. No professor but Hagrid would love a biting book.

"It's actually quite easy to deal with these books. Seeing that the other party was so pitiful, Evan decided to tell him the trick, and he said softly, "You just have to touch the spine lightly and they will be quiet!"

"What?!" the manager wondered.

Evan motioned for the other party to take out a copy of the "Monster Book of Monsters" from the cage, the book struggled to bite, but Evan slid his index finger from top to bottom on the spine, and the book trembled, and then opened, lying quietly in his hand.

"Oh my God, Mr. Mason, it's incredible!" exclaimed the manager, "you've done me a great favor!"

He instructed several clerks to take out the "Yokai Book of Yokai" in turn, and after calming them down according to Evan's method, he immediately tied them with a rope.

"Tie them up, that's the right way to deal with these books!" the manager gasped.

Thanks to Aven's suggestion, he and Harry get the lowest discount.

Ai Wen took a few books very unceremoniously, he thought about it for a while, and took another copy of the textbook for the new third-grade course in turn.

The curriculum of the second grade is exactly the same as that of the first grade, and most of the content in it has been completed by Evan on his own. It was a complete waste of time to go back to class, and he decided to sit in on the new additions to the third year, which Professor McGonagall had agreed to at the end of last semester.

Harry bought "Intermediate Transfiguration" and "Standard Spells, Level 3", as well as a copy of "Clearing the Fog and Looking into the Future" by Cassandra Vabraski, which is the designated introductory textbook for divination classes, which has a strong guiding role in palmistry, crystal balls, bird entrails, etc.

But Harry didn't look at his new book, his eyes fell on another book, which was a copy of Death Omen on a small table, which read in large red letters: What do you do when you know the worst is coming?

"Oh, if I were you, I wouldn't read books like this. The clerk at the bookstore saw Harry's gaze fall on the book and said lightly, "If you read this book, you will see that the signs of death are everywhere, and this book will scare people to death." ”

But Harry was still staring at the cover of the book: it had a dog, almost the size of a bear, with glowing eyes. The dog looked surprisingly familiar

Harry pulled Aven and motioned for him to look at the cover.

Evan glanced at it, the black dog representing the omen of death did bear a bit like Sirius Black, no wonder Harry was upset.

"Aven, did you say that night?"

"Don't think about it, it's just a stray dog!" Evan gritted his teeth as he thought of being chased across the streets, "yes, a very nasty stray dog." ”
