It was the most uncomfortable to wait for someone to finish eating, but fortunately, Bruce "ate" very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to finish the meal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hmmm! So full, so full! Bruce said contentedly, then asked, "Where to go?" Diagon Alley? ”

Hermione said, "No, I don't want to go to Diagon Alley. I'm already a little tired of aesthetics, so let's go back to modernity. ”

Bruce nodded and said, "Well, that's a good suggestion. Just around this place will be able to fulfill your wishes. ”

London's Charing Cross is an irreplaceable landmark for book lovers around the world. There are many bookstores here, in addition to chain bookstores, diversified theme bookstores, there are also second-hand bookstores specializing in used books, antique bookstores and bookstores in the professional field. For a top student like Hermione, there's really no better place to visit than here.

Helen Hanff wrote her memoir "84 Charing Cross" in 1970, which became familiar to the world. Of course, in the "later generations", the famous Leaky Cauldron Bar has made more people know about this place.

Another point that Bruce "once saw" saw "Beijing Meets Seattle 2" is based on "84 Charing Cross", and of course, the most important thing is that it is only a stone's throw away from Chinatown, where Chinese gather. Bruce passes by Chinatown every morning for morning exercises, and sometimes goes to the tooth festival to taste authentic Chinese food that is not authentic.

"By the way, you just talked about Ron, and tell me what's going on?" Hermione asked.

Bruce laughed, "Mr. Weasley has received the Galleon Award for the Daily Prophet's annual awards. It was a big bonus, so the family decided to travel to Egypt. Last time Ron wrote he said it might be a month, good guy! Full of showmanship. ”

"Huh!" Hermione laughed, "So his luck is better than ours, but we don't need to be jealous, we are much better than Harry." ”

"Alas! yes, what a pathetic Harry! Bruce said helplessly.

Bruce's suggestion was the only straw for Harry, as Ron mentioned in his letter to Bruce and Hermione that he had tried to contact Harry by phone, only to receive a roar from Vernon Dursley. Thankfully, Vernon Dursley didn't force Harry to lock Hedwig up so he could write and chat with his friends.

Hermione sighed, "I wish Harry could change his guardian!" ”

Bruce said, "The Dursleys are Harry's only relatives, and unless he can find a friend of Harry's parents, he will have to stay at the Dursley's house. ”

"Do you remember when Hagrid said at the end of his first year that he had made contact with a lot of Harry's parents' classmates and friends? Maybe we can ask them for help. Hermione suggested.

Bruce said, "You can try, but ...... Let's hope this will work. Forget it, let's talk about this later. Where are we going? ”

Hermione laughed, "It's a second-hand bookstore I frequent, and I once found a magic book there. ”

"Muggle bookshops found magic books, didn't they!" Bruce said in surprise.

Hermione said, "There's no need to be surprised, a lot of people choose to live in the Muggle world after graduating from Hogwarts, so it's not unusual to find magic books here. Luck is needed, though. ”

Bruce laughed, "Let's go and see if we have any luck this time." ”

They were led by Hermione to a second-hand bookstore called "Old Pete", where many people of their age came to buy books because it was a holiday. Most of the books in the bookstore are old books, and some even have no book covers, but the elderly owner of the store is very responsible, and the classification of books is not chaotic.

However, this time they were not very lucky. I searched for a long time but couldn't find a magic book. Bruce had bought a book about magic, and Hermione wasn't interested in it.

"I can't believe that a wizard actually bought a magic instruction!" Hermione said.

Bruce laughed, "I bet you that these tricks you don't look at can come in handy." ”

"Huh!" Hermione looked incredulous and said, "Then I'll wait and see." Where do we go next? ”

"Chinatown, my favorite place!" Bruce said.

Bruce's obsession with Oriental culture was known to almost the whole school, and Hermione hadn't been there much, so she didn't refuse to let the two of them walk to Chinatown.

Although he has lived here for so many years, Bruce believes that he is still Chinese, but he has no sense of belonging to Chinatown, mainly from the "before" living environment. The retro architecture of Chinatown here is full of British style, and the feeling is a little awkward. However, the black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese around him gave him a little comfort in his heart.

Bruce takes Hermione to a restaurant he frequents, which sells Chinese specialty "pancake fruit", which is a rare authentic Chinese delicacy here.

Bruce asked for two pancakes, and he was about to finish his share, but Hermione couldn't eat half of it, so Bruce had to "hard" destroy it.

"I don't know how you can fit these things into your stomach after eating a bowl of noodles!" Hermione said in surprise.

Bruce laughed, "Of course it's delicious, seriously!" I'm fed up with British food. ”

"Before" Bruce once saw a joke on the Internet that ridiculed British food: the three thinnest books in the world: "The Glorious History of Chinese Football", "American History" and "British Cookbook", can be ranked in the top three with the previous two, so it can be seen that British food is really not delicious.

At this moment, Hermione noticed the ring on Bruce's right index finger and asked curiously, "Ring?" Who sent it? ”

Bruce raised his hand and smiled, "How's it going?" Is it pretty? ”

"Cut! I still wear it on my index finger, I want to get married so much! Hermione said sourly, "Which beauty sent it, Zhang Qiu?" ”

Bruce smiled wryly, "Your thinking is too jumpy." It was given to me by my teacher, but it was his latest masterpiece. ”

Hermione's mind proved to be both leapy and thoughtful, and she immediately thought of what the ring was for: "Don't tell me...... This is...... Magic wand? ”

Bruce nodded appreciatively and said, "I really admire you!" But you're only half right, it's only a half-finished wand, not even a wand in the strict sense of the word. ”

Hermione couldn't wait to say, "What do you mean?" Tell me! Stop beating around the bush and just say it! ”

Bruce smiled and said, "This is a ring that can only use one kind of spell. ”

"And then?" Hermione asked.

Bruce said, "And then it's gone, didn't you say it's direct?" ”

Hermione suppressed the urge to run away and said angrily, "Then can you please tell me more details?" ”

"Huh!" Bruce laughed, "Actually, this is just an experiment, you should remember the wand making technique I told you earlier." To put it simply, it simplifies the process, but due to the limitations of volumetric technology and materials, it can only cast one spell. Enough detail! ”

Hermione immediately asked, "Is it possible to choose a spell at random?" ”

"No!" Bruce explained, "It doesn't quite get to the point you said. The only thing that works is the spell invented by the teacher. It's more like a method of direct attack by their house-elves with magic power, but this power is much smaller, but the speed is very fast. ”

Hermione said in surprise: "In this way, it really can't be called a wand, it's more like a magic item, but if it is coordinated well, it can be completely taken by surprise." ”

Bruce nodded and said, "That's right. ”

"Let's go!" Hermione hurriedly pulled Bruce up and said, "Let's go to Diagon Alley, I want to see the spell right now." ”

Bruce laughed, "Don't worry, not only will you see it, but there will be one." I've been in the wand shop to learn how to make this, and I've made one and I'm ready to give it to you. ”

"It's amazing. Where? Hermione asked excitedly.

Bruce laughed, "It's in my room at the Leaky Cauldron!" ”

"Quick, let's go back!" Hermione hurriedly pushed Bruce away.

The two returned to the Leaky Cauldron and went straight to Bruce's room, and Tom at the counter was surprised to see the two of them "affectionately" upstairs, and said with a smile: "Hehe, are today's children so precocious?" Alas! It's so open! ”

It's a good thing Hermione didn't hear this, otherwise she would have gone crazy.

Once in the room, Bruce took out the ring and gave it to Hermione. Hermione liked it so much that she kept looking at it in the palm of her hand.

Bruce suddenly found that Hermione was so "seductive", although it was not what Mr. Tom thought at the moment, the lonely man and widow in the same room and the girl he liked standing in front of him, everyone would have an impulse in their hearts, and Bruce decided to rush to vent this today.

"Come on! I'll bring it for you! Bruce whispered.

Hermione was so focused on the ring that she didn't notice Bruce's "weirdness", she nodded and said, "Mm-hmm, okay!" I'll definitely try it later. ”

Bruce smiled and didn't speak, picked up the ring and gently placed it on Hermione's index finger, only to find that Hermione's hand was being held just as Hermione wanted to raise her hand to admire.

"You ......" Hermione's face flushed, and she hurriedly said, "Let go, what are you doing?" ”

Bruce took Hermione's hand, stared at her earnestly, and said, "Do what I've always wanted to do." Hermione...... I like you, be my girlfriend! ”

Hermione was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, she didn't dare to look at Bruce directly, twisted her head to the side, and said shyly, "Didn't you say okay?" Let's not talk about this for now! ”

"It's been two years!" Bruce said excitedly: "We've known each other for two years, and we've been through so many things in the past two years, don't you know who I am?" I'm serious! Hermione, I really like you! Not on the spur of the moment! ”

Hermione looked at Bruce and asked softly, "What if I'm a jealous girl?" I don't want my boyfriend to be intimate with other girls, and even get angry because of this jealousy, so are you still willing? Don't say yes too quickly. ”

Hermione interrupted Bruce, who was about to answer, and continued, "I was expecting a relationship from start to finish, and while it was naïve to say that, this is what I was hoping for. If...... If one day you leave me, I'll hate you for the rest of my life, Bruce! I will never forgive you for the rest of my life, so do you still like me? ”

Bruce just stared at Hermione, and there was a "strange" silence in the room, and there was no word in the room.

Suddenly, Bruce smiled, he let go of Hermione's hand, pointed to the ring, and said, "Let's make a bet!" If you are willing to face with me the dangers you have mentioned, even more dangers, continue to carry it. If you don't have the confidence to give it back to me, bet on it...... Bet for a lifetime! ”

Hermione also smiled, she took her hand away and clenched it tightly, and smiled, "Then don't regret it!" ”

Bruce put his hands on Hermione's shoulders and gently pulled her down, and the distance between the two grew closer......

"You know what? I bet I've never lost! ”

“……”

The lips of the two people in the room were pressed together, and this moment ...... (PS: Damn, I can't write it!) So be it, they're together anyway! (To be continued.) )
