As the holiday is coming to an end, Darren's path has finally been extended to the docks, presumably this year's freshmen will be able to enjoy the fruits of Darren's labor, during which Hagrid has also come to see, saying that he also followed this path to Hogwarts, which is said to have been walked by the founder of Hogwarts, so it has been kept as it is.

In this regard, Darren asked him, then why didn't everyone throw away their wands, because according to the records, the original wizards did not have wands, anyway, this is also what Darren used to practice magic spells, and it was a big deal to dismantle them, and it was just the right time to practice the destruction spell.

However, standing on the stone path that was finally completed, Hagrid also sighed, "I really didn't expect you to finish it, this is definitely the best vacation homework." ”

"Vacation homework?" said Darren, curious, "the professors don't have vacation homework, and it seems that underage wizards can't cast magic outside of school." ”

"Yes, professors don't leave vacation homework, but that doesn't mean students can't stop looking for their own work. Hagrid lowered his head, looked at Darren seriously and said, "It's a pity that few students nowadays realize this, Darren, you're great." ”

"Thanks, Hagrid. Darren was genuinely happy to hear Hagrid's words, and in his opinion, Hagrid's must be more precious than Dumbledore.

"By the way, Darren," Hagrid looked at Darren's path, suddenly remembered something, and reached out and pulled a letter out of his pocket, "This is a textbook for second-year students. ”

Darren took it and opened it, and saw that in addition to "Standard Spells, Level 2", there were "Breaking with a Female Ghost" by Miranda Goshawk, "Traveling with a Ghoul" by Gilderoy Lockhart, "Vacation with a Dominatrix" by Gilderoy Lockhart, "Walking with a Troll" by Gilderoy Lockhart, "Traveling on the Same Boat with a Vampire" by Gilderoy Lockhart, "Wandering with a Werewolf" by Gilderoy Lockhart, "A Year with a Tibetan Snowman" by Gilderoy Lockhart, by Gilderoy Lockhart......

Darren remembers that his letter of acceptance to Hogwarts said that the school would provide him with textbooks, which were second-hand, of course, but now he didn't believe that there were Gilderoy Lockhart's books in the Hogwarts library.

Darren looked up at Hagrid, "I remember the school would provide me with textbooks, didn't I?"

Hagrid scratched his head, "Yes, that's what the school decided to do, but now, apparently the school doesn't have the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teaching materials to ask for, so I'm afraid we'll have to buy them ourselves." ”

"Buy it yourself?" Darren didn't understand what he meant, and then, with a look of surprise on his face, "We're going to Diagon Alley?"

"yes, I'm going there, and I need a medicine to repel the carnivorous slugs, which are about to run out of cabbage at school. ”

"But what about the money to buy books? I'm afraid we won't be able to get second-hand books. ”

"This year's situation is special, Dumbledore has specially approved the textbook fee for you, and we will go to Gringotts to get it together when the time comes. ”

"Then Wednesday, Hermione wrote that she was going to London to buy textbooks that day, and she had made an appointment with Harry and Ron. ”

"Okay, it's nice to see Harry again, I heard he lives in the Weasley house now?"

"yes, he didn't have a good relationship with his aunt's family, and they had a bit of a conflict, so the Weasley brothers, I think you know who, took Harry to their house with Ron. Darren briefed Helen about Harry's situation.

Speaking of this, Darren was a little helpless, when Harry left school, Darren suggested that Harry take some gold from Gringotts and give it to his aunt's family, after all, his uncle said that they had always raised Harry, although the process was not very good, but at least Harry was not sent to an orphanage like Darren, and since Harry has inherited his parents' property, it is also appropriate to compensate him appropriately, even if it is just to make his own life better, it is not necessary, but it seems that Harry didn't listen at all, maybe he thinks the Dursleys don't deserve anything。

"Damn Muggles," Hagrid roared, "I knew they were bad for Harry when I went to pick up Harry, oh, when I went to pick up Harry......"

"Uh, Hagrid, how do we get to Diagon Alley, it's in London, and it's by train?"

"No, we don't need to take the train, we use Floo powder. ”

"Floo powder?"

"yes, oh, I forgot, you haven't used Floo Powder yet, it's okay, it's simple, you'll know how to use it then. ”

Hagrid is right, using Floo Powder is really simple, but the so-called "woe to you, blessing to rely on, blessing, woe to lurk", or "there is no free lunch in the world", the price of using Floo powder is that the user experience is extremely bad.

When Darren threw Floo powder into the flames as Hagrid had said, he felt as if he had been sucked into a huge socket hole, and then turned into electricity, flowing rapidly along the wires, and his body kept spinning in the flow, making him feel nauseous, and his ears were filled with deafening whistling, and in that moment, he realized what it means to "live like a year......

Fortunately, the speed of Floo powder is indeed fast enough, and in the blink of an eye, Darren "squirted" out of the fireplace, sitting on the floor, he opened his eyes, just in time to see Hagrid's lowered head, his face covered with soot, and his huge eyes, which actually made Darren laugh irrepressibly.

Hagrid was puzzled at first, until he wiped his hand on his face and laughed at the soot on his hand, and of course, Darren's body was also black.

Hagrid took Darren to find a place to freshen up, and then went with him to Gringotts to get the money.

They came to a tall, snow-white building in Diagon Alley, and by looking at the shiny bronze gate at the entrance, they knew that it was definitely a good place for money.

By the door, stood a short man in a scarlet and gold uniform, but even though Darren hadn't seen a goblin, he knew that this was definitely not a human dwarf, because he had long ears and a long nose.

"That's a goblin," Hagrid whispered to Darren before stepping inside.

Like human businesses, there were greetings at the door of Gringotts, but as outside, they were all goblins, and they led Hagrid and Darren into a tall marble hall, and on either side of the hall, Darren saw about a hundred or so goblins, sitting behind a long row of counters, each busy, some weighing coins with copper scales, some examining gems with eyepieces, and those gems were so big that if they were taken out, they would surely make even the most reserved women scream with excitement.
