Chapter 138: Capture a Book

As Vio expected, the Santrils had not returned from Norway until the day before Sigoness was scheduled to take them to Diagon Alley to buy new books. The consent form to go to Hogsmeade www.biquge.info was also thrown in a corner by VIO.

After Vio returned, she couldn't wait to ask Sigoness if she could sign the consent form on behalf of her parents, but as she thought, Sigoness rejected Vio with the words guardian: "Honey, you need your own guardian to sign, I'm sorry, although it's true that I'm taking care of you now, but technically, I'm not your guardian." ”

Similarly, she didn't suggest that Vio use an owl to mail the letter or anything, and Vio felt that the Uncharted Barrier must be one of her considerations.

Draco, by contrast, was much luckier than her, and Lucius Malfoy had arrived at Santrill Mansion to pick up Draco a few days after they had practiced the Patronus Charm, and his consent form was of course gone.

For this reason, Draco wrote a lot of letters to show off to Vio.

On the day they set off for Diagon Alley in London, the wind was beautiful and the sky was blue as if it had been washed over again.

Sigoness walked the streets with Vio, occasionally making way for Muggles under the bombardment of their cars.

With Sigoness's cheeks flushed with anger, they finally reached one of the entrances to Diagon Alley: the Leaky Cauldron.

After entering the Leaky Cauldron, Sigoness greeted many people she knew, and she tried to keep the time of greeting everyone as short as possible, but there were so many people who came to greet her that she couldn't cope with it.

Later, a Mr. Duncleire vio listened to his self-introduction, and felt very familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember that this person seemed to be very honest and honest, but he was very bad at it, he didn't know how to look at it.

Sigoness explained to him directly many times that he was going to take his niece to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies, but the gentleman was indifferent, and talked endlessly about his reverence and appreciation for Sigoness's work at the Ministry of Magic, and was completely immersed in his own world, as if there was another Sigoness who had been chatting smoothly with him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Vio had to ask Aunt Sigoness to buy those things by herself, and the list sent by the school was already written anyway.

There was nothing the aunt could do, and she looked at Mr. Dunkreley's thick lips that kept turning, and knew that she should accede to her niece's request.

Vio arrives in the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron and is about to poke his wand into the bricks on the wall when several cries of surprise come from behind him.

"Hey!vio!"

Vio turned, and a brown shadow pounced on her, hugging her firmly.

The refreshing aroma crept into her nostrils, and Vio immediately realized that it was Hermione, who had returned from a summer vacation to France.

They hadn't bought any books yet, so they didn't stay in front of the wall in the backyard, and when they entered Diagon Alley, they were greeted by familiar hoods and robes, a very different sight from the cars and traffic lights they had seen on the streets of London.

"It's good to meet you here!" said Hermione as she went to Florin's cold drink shop and bought two ice creams, which they ate happily and comfortably.

"I'm going to be staying at the Leaky Cauldron tonight, where Mom and Dad left all my luggage. Harry and Ron also stayed here and met them in the morning when we checked in, but they had already finished buying books. ”

Harry...... Also there?" Vio looked a little surprised, could it be that he had finally left his aunt's and uncle's house early, and hopefully he hadn't used magic......

"Yes, that's right. Hermione smiled.

At this point they entered a bookstore, and Hermione was undoubtedly leading the way.

Gone are the glittering, precious-looking books that had been placed in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, but now they are gone, replaced by a large iron cage containing about a hundred copies of the Yokai Book of Yokai. The books were locked together, in a furious wrestling contest, with belligerent bites and fights, and broken pages flew everywhere.

"Oh my God. Vio muttered to herself, and she was suddenly relieved that Hagrid had sent her a book. Hermione glanced at her, her eyes a little strange.

Then they pushed the door open and walked in, and the manager immediately greeted them as soon as he saw them, "Is it Miss Santriel......?" Is this young lady next to her Miss Granger?"

Vio and Hermione nodded and handed him the book list, Hermione was surprised, "How did you know about us"

"Not unusual. Mr. Santrill became one of the investors of the store last year. So, Miss Santrill and her classmates at Hogwarts deserve a different kind of hospitality, don't they?" replied with a smile as the manager replied, adding when he saw that Vio was a little uneasy. "Don't be too nervous, just when you're not busy. ”

But when he saw a line on the book list, his originally smiling face was dyed with a layer of worry, and his mouth couldn't help but say, "It's the Monster Book of Monsters again...... How could they think of using this kind of book for class......

"Uh, I've got a ......," Vio interjected.

"There's another one. Galileo, the manager, gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, and his cheeks bulged tightly.

"Then start with this one. ”

He took out a pair of thick gloves and put them on, and at the same time held a very thick cane with many scars and knots in his hand, and then quickly opened a small opening in the iron cage, and then reached into the cane

There, the two books were working together to lift the third book up and throw it into the air, then grabbed half of the page as it fell and opened it

Galileo's cane slammed open the two books huddled together and staring into the air.

Then he expertly pressed a button, and a bunch of iron fingers appeared from the head of the cane, which soon parted into the shape of a hand, and then grabbed the nearest book, presumably covering the stuffed eyes on the cover of the book, and the book screamed, and then he was honest, and was obediently dragged out, only to whimper quietly.

The manager immediately closed it with a rope and tied it up, and after he had done all this, he wiped the sweat from his head and said, "This is the smoothest one, I've been bitten five times today...... Ask your new teacher for me if he's okay and if possible, I hope he can use some normal books......"

Vio and Hermione looked at each other, both sympathetic to the manager. (To be continued.) )
