Chapter 2: The Encounter in Diagon Alley

After watching Hagrid, who was about to go to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink due to the dizziness of Gringotts' ore cart, Harry followed Hagrid's instructions to Madame Morkin's robes shop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Harry!"

Harry looked back in surprise and saw that it was-

"Xiwen, why are you here? You're a wizard! Oh my God, I've been to your house so many times and didn't even know about it!"

Siwen looked at little Harry with a surprised expression, and he patted little Harry: "Come, let's not mention those things for now, and show you the 11th birthday present prepared for you." ā€

Walking into Madame Morkin's robes shop, she saw a short, stocky and smiling witch, and she welcomed them with a smile: "Do you need a uniform, dear, we have a lot of them here, to be honest, there is a young man in there to interview for clothes"

Siwen walked up and bowed slightly, "Hello, Lady Morkin, I have already made a set of clothes for little Harry before. I guess the time reserved should have been out of the finished product. ā€

"Oh, young Mr. Swift, wait a minute, we'll go pick it up. Every time I see the sewing skills on your clothes that make us ashamed, we can't help but be amazed and admired. If you have time, be sure to introduce the makers and give us some experience. Madame Morkin said as Harry and Siwen sat down first, and then went to the warehouse to find the custom robe.

Harry looked at Sivin's clothes, which were indeed slightly different from those in the store.

"I was going to buy a set directly, but I didn't expect Alice to sew a set for me directly. ā€

At this time, the boy who had been trying on clothes looked at Harry, "Are you also a freshman at Hogwarts?"

The boy casually glanced at the westerners, apparently unable to find a correspondence in the familiar figures, and continued to talk to Harry without a word.

"Do you think you're going to be sorted into?"

"I don't know. Harry said, feeling more and more like he couldn't do anything.

"Of course, although there are all kinds of rumors, they never tell us how to divide the house, hmph, it's a tradition. No one really knows which college they'll be placed in until they arrive. However, pure-blood families usually have a trace, and my whole family is from Slytherin, so I knew I would be sorted into Slytherin - if I were sorted into Hufflepuff, I think I would drop out. That one over there is a Ravenclaw student?"

The boy noticed the silver eagle insignia on Sivin's body.

"Although I don't see it at school, I want to be respectful to my seniors, and the little guy who drags"

Hallimer was silent, hoping that the boy would say something more interesting or that Mrs. Morkin would come soon.

"Hey, look over there!" The boy looked out the window with a sudden mocking expression on his face.

Hagrid was looking at Harry with two ice creams in his hands, pointing to the ice cream in his hand, as he couldn't bring food into the store.

Harry had a rare look of relief, knowing something the boy didn't know, "That's Hagrid. He works at Hogwarts. ā€

"Oh," the boy didn't seem interested, "I've heard that." He's a servant at Hogwarts, isn't he?"

"He was the caretaker of the Hogwarts Hunting Grounds. Harry replied briefly.

Thankfully, I finally saw Mrs. Morkin, "This is it, you can try, dear." Harry was glad he had found an excuse not to talk to the boy anymore, and jumped off the footstool. "Alright, then we'll see you at Hogwarts. The boy said in a long voice.

"Thank you, Xiwen. After trying it, Harry took the clothes to the door, "It's a good fit, just the right fit, but it's not a snug clothes." How do you know the size of my clothes?"

"Ha, this kind of thing, Alice's eyes only need to sweep it, and the absolute error is smaller than the measure of a ruler. Siwen looked at the little one, "What's wrong Harry, you seem to be a little unhappy?"

"No, thank you for the gift, I'm so happy, it's—"

Harry asked Siven what the boy thought of half-bloods, Muggles, and even said that he wished there was a rule that would not allow people of impure blood to enter schools of witchcraft and wizardry and study with contempt for Hagrid.

Xiwen patted little Harry: "Harry, you know, wizards from ordinary people have the advantage of ordinary people, they are exposed to two worlds, and their horizons are broader, so they usually have higher learning ability and faster speed." Pure-blooded mages, on the other hand, may have deformities and genealogy-level family diseases, but they have purer and stronger mana and family inheritance. ā€

"And what are Slytherin and Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?" asked Harry.

"Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, the four founders of Hogwarts, each with their own strengths, through the Sorting House to achieve a kind of individualized teaching. Slytherin is usually made up of pure-blood wizards, who are prone to extremism and discrimination against half-bloods and Muggles, and Hufflepuff students are often not as gifted, but they are hardworking and indispensable in the basic composition of the wizarding world. ā€

"Then there's a good chance I'm going to be in Hufflepuff. Harry thought even more depressedly.

"Who knows before the official division"

"What about you, Brother Sivan?" asked Harry curiously. "I'm in Ravenclaw, and I'm a little less courageous, but I'm a little clever. Siwen paused and pointed ahead, "That's the one who came to pick you up." In the distance, a figure that covered the sky like a small mountain, with unkempt hair, and although it had a small face, it seemed that only a pair of large black eyes could be seen at a glance, and it was obviously Hagrid who had come over.

Hagrid looked at Harry and Sivin standing next to each other in amazement. Harry felt strange for a moment, and when Hagrid looked at Sivin, his burly body seemed to tremble with some kind of fear? No, it must have been Hagrid holding the ice cream for too long.

"Hello, Swift, I didn't expect you and Harry to know each other. ā€

"Siwen and I are neighbors down the same street," Harry replied.

"Hello, thank you for accompanying Harry to Diagon Alley. I'll take Harry to buy the rest."

Hagrid's eyes rolled for a moment, as if his brain was passing for a moment, and he shrugged his shoulders and handed the ice cream to Harry, "That would be a problem for you, little Harry doesn't seem to know anything about the wizarding world." ā€

"No problem, I'll go to school with Harry, by the way" Sivin glanced at Hagrid, as if he was just stating a normal thing, "The use of magic outside of school is not forbidden for adults, but doing this kind of thing to ordinary people will be prosecuted by the Ministry of Magic, and in serious cases, it will be sent to Azkaban, I hope you will pay attention." ā€

Hagrid left after advising him on a few things, so buying the wand required Sivin to take Harry with him. After Hagrid left, he took Harry to walk in Diagon Alley, carrying Hedwig's box, Harry seemed a little dull, he didn't know if Hagrid's behavior was a crime, he saw his cousin grow a pig's tail and smiled happily, but if Hagrid was sent to prison for this kind of thing, it must be a very painful thing. Especially when Sivin mentioned the name of that prison, Hagrid seemed to tremble with fear from his soul.

Sending Hagrid away, Sivin looked at his watch: "Harry, I have a friend who is about to arrive, she is also a freshman this year, if you don't mind, can we go buy wands together when she arrives?"

It seemed that there was still some time, so he sat in front of the dessert shop, eating the original ice cream without any chemical additives, and Harry wondered if there would be magic additives in the wizarding world.

"What do you think of Hagrid?" asked Harry quietly.

"Harry, you know, you're like a dragon that has just broken out of its shell, full of curiosity about the outside world. I hope you don't think the person you see at first glance is your own mom and then be indoctrinated with the parameters they want to set for you. Oh, Hagrid's own words have no ill will towards you, and he's a good guy. Xiwen looked at the people shuttling through Diagon Alley, and suddenly smiled, "Of course, the world is not that complicated, you just need to judge and screen it yourself." ā€

"For example, in my eyes, there is no difference between the four houses, and in the eyes of Hagrid, Slytherin is a symbol of evil, after all, there have been many dark wizards, and when you get to the boy you just saw, he has more of a pure-blood problem, and when you get to Hogwarts yourself, you will have your own opinion after you have been in contact with it, rather than wearing the colored glasses that someone else has prepared for you to treat it all. ā€

At this time, a scream of joy was suddenly heard, and Xiwen stopped the food in his hand and stood up. Harry turned his head to see that a cute little brown-haired radish rushed in front of Siwen at a sprinting speed, pounced on him, and hung on Siwen like a koala.

Siwen held the little girl with one hand, and with the other hand, he ruffled the little girl's hair in defiance of the girl's protests.

"Hello, Miss Beaver~"
