Chapter 186, the worst book buying trip

I spent two years at Hogwarts, and in both years there were big things happening at school, and they were extremely dangerous things. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Harry even jokingly said that it would happen every year.

Now it seems that Harry's "crow's beak" is in full swing again, this time before the "big thing" of school starts.

"This Sirius must be very dangerous." Hermione said, "I was watching TV at home this morning with a news story about Sirius Orion Black's wanted mention! ”

"What?!" Bruce was surprised and said, "You mean Muggles are wanted on TV for Sirius!?" ”

Hermione nodded and said, "It's not the first time, Bruce!" The Ministry of Magic would only seek Muggle help in times of emergency. This is the second time, the last time was by radio wanted another criminal, you can guess who he is. ”

"Voldemort!" Bruce whispered, "Damn! ”

Hermione said worriedly, "There's still a month before school starts, and we have to figure out how to do it." ”

Bruce closed his eyes and thought, and after a moment, said, "Write to Harry." ”

"What? Are you sure? Hermione asked, surprised.

Bruce nodded and said, "That's right. As long as Harry stayed at Dursley's house, there would be no problem. Even Voldemort didn't dare mess around in the Muggle world, and Sirius didn't have the guts. That's why Dumbledore suggested that the Ministry of Magic send us orphans to the Muggles. But we can only tell Harry to be safe, but we can't tell him what Hagrid has to say. Otherwise, he was determined to go out to Sirius to avenge his parents. ”

"That'...... That's it! Hermione said worriedly, "I'll write it." ”

Bruce said, "By the way, send us our gifts together. It's more natural that way. ”

Hermione said, "Okay, then we'll go buy the Monster Book of the Monsters and send it to Harry together." ”

Bruce stood up and said, "Hmm. Let's go. ”

But just as the two got up to leave, Dobby stopped them again.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Stirling!" Dobby ran over with a package in his hand and said, "There's your mail again, this time from a very old owl, and the poor guy hit the door frame and has now fainted!" ”

As soon as she heard this, Bruce Hermione knew who had sent the package.

"Ron!" Both said at the same time.

"Thank you, Dobby!" Bruce said, taking the package.

Dobby laughed, "You're welcome, Mr. Sterling! ”

The two opened the package, which contained a letter and a package, as well as a newspaper clipping. Newspaper clippings are photos of events in the Daily Prophet. In the photo, the nine Weasleys are standing in front of the pyramid, all waving to them, and they can't help but smile on their faces.

Mrs. Weasley is small and fat, but the balding Mr. Weasley is very tall, and Ron is standing in the middle of this picture, tall and thin, with his pet mouse Spotted standing on his shoulder, his arm around his sister Ginny. George, Fred, and Percy stood behind him, and two other people, Bruce Hermione, had only seen on Ron's family portraits, his two older brothers, Bill and Charlie, who had graduated.

Bruce laughed, "It looks like Ron and his family had a great time." ”

Then he opened the envelope, and when Hermione saw Ron's "crooked" font, he teased, "I really should have advised Ron to practice his calligraphy!" ”

"Huh!"

"Dear Bruce: Happy Birthday! I'm sorry I couldn't go back in time to give you a gift in person. Egypt is awesome! Bill took us to all the pyramids, and you really don't know how many spells the wizards of ancient Egypt cast on them. Mom wouldn't let Bill go to the last pyramid. There were many odd-looking skeletons left behind by Muggles who had forced their way into the pyramids. They've grown extra heads and all sorts of things. ”

"You know what? This time, Daddy won the grand prize of 700 Galleons! Most of the money was spent on the tour, but they were going to buy me a new wand for next year. Of course, I still love the wand you gave me. When Bill saw it, he was very envious that I could have such a beautiful wand. I bought three pocket speculums in Egypt and gave them to you if there were any untrustworthy people around. It glows brightly and spins. Harry's I've got Percy's owl sent over. I forgot Hermione's address, so could you please send it to me for me? I think you'd be more than happy to do so. ”

"We'll be back about a week before school starts, and we'll be able to see each other then. Hopefully, Harry will be able to leave Dursley's house without a hitch. By the way, I read a news item in the Daily Prophet that Sirius had escaped from prison in Azkaban. Oh my God, it's scary. I heard that he is still in London, so you must be safe! ”

Hermione opened the package, which contained two golden "little spinning tops" and a support frame underneath that could be placed on the table.

Hermione played with the "pocket speculum" and said, "I've heard about this thing in books before, but I don't know how credible it is?" ”

Bruce said, "It's Ron's heart, let's take it with gratitude." Let's go, let's go to Diagon Alley and buy that weird book! ”

"Hmm!"

……

For Bruce and Hermione, this "book buying trip" was definitely the worst ever.

When the two of them walked into the bookstore and asked about "The Monster Book of the Monsters", the owner of the bookstore immediately looked at them with a strange eye, and even repeatedly asked if they were sure to buy such a book. Bruce Hermione was also surprised by the boss's attitude, but when the book was taken out...... No, to be precise, when they were carried out, they finally understood why the boss was like that.

This is probably the only book in the world that is sold in an iron cage, the book cover is a fluffy fur, there are many tentacles at the edges, a belt "locks" the book, and when they got closer, they found that there were teeth under the belt. The gray, fluffy books crawled back and forth in the cage and made strange noises. It's more of a monster than a book.

"It's disgusting!" Hermione twisted her head to the side and said.

This is probably the first time that the owner of the Blotted Bookstore has agreed with a guest about his book.

"That's right! Miss, so I'm going to make sure again if you guys really want to buy it. Because I don't want other books to be bitten off! The boss said.

Bruce was surprised and asked, "Biting?" Does this book still bite? ”

"Of course!" The boss said helplessly: "Otherwise, why lock them up with a belt." ”

Hermione said incredulously, "Hagrid must be crazy to ask us to buy a book like this." Oh, my God! I can guarantee that I will definitely not enjoy this class of Conservation Magic! ”

Bruce laughed, "Actually, this is normal. After all, who but Hagrid would let us buy a book that would bite. Boss, how much. ”

"Give me a Galleon is enough!" The boss said, "Seriously, if it weren't for the high price, I'd rather give these books away for free." If anyone wants to ask for it. ”

Hermione hurriedly took out four Galleons and said, "We want four, and the other ...... Can you find something to put them up? ”

The boss smiled: "Don't worry, dear! We will do as you say. Oh yes! It is advisable to stroke the spine of the book when you open it, so that it will calm down. ”

Then the boss "grabbed" four books, tied them up with a long rope, and put them in a bag. Hermione was definitely reluctant to carry these things, so in the end, Bruce had to carry them back.

Out of the bookstore, Hermione immediately said, "Harry's, you sent him, Ron's also put yours, I think they'll come to Diagon Alley." As for my ...... I'm not willing to stay with a book like this. ”

Bruce laughed, "Very willing to help, dear!" ”

"Uh-huh, what an obedient! Reward you! Hermione kissed Bruce gently.

Back at the Leaky Cauldron, Hermione wrote a letter to Harry and included a copy of the Monster Book of the Monsters, Bruce's "Lord of the Rings", and "Instructions", and asked Tom's owl to send it over.

After doing this, Bruce personally sent Hermione back, although it was still early, but a dangerous person like Sirius roamed in London, Bruce was not worried about Hermione going back alone. In Hermione's house, he was "tired" and reluctantly left in the evening. If the Grangers in France knew that a stinky boy was hugging and kissing their daughter on the sofa at home, it is estimated that the two would fly back non-stop!

The next day, Bruce kept receiving gifts from his friends from the moment he woke up. Tom and Dobbit make a cake for him to celebrate his birthday. Later in the evening, Hedwig delivered Harry's letter.

"Dear Bruce, first of all I wish you a happy birthday, my brother! It was wonderful to receive the blessings of friends in the 'miserable' life of the Dursleys. Although Uncle Vernon locked up all my belongings, it was a blessing in disguise that he didn't lock Hedwig so that I could write and chat with you! ”

"You're such a genius, Bruce! I'm amazed by the magic rings you've made. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't use magic, I'd like to try it now. Trust me, Bruce! Someday the whole wizarding world will be amazed at your work. About Hermione's Gift...... I don't want to say anything more. Thank goodness those monsters didn't eat my paper, or I'd be crazy! I also received letters and gifts from Ron and was really envious of this kid. But I think we'll see each other again soon. It's just that Aunt Vernon still won't sign the 'Hogmorton certificate' for me. ”

"Finally, thank you for reminding me that Sirius Black is scary, but at least he gave me a reason to stay in the house. Hehe! Happy birthday to you again and looking forward to seeing you all, Harry Potter! ”
