169. I met my classmates
"Welcome to Diagon Alley, Harry."
The door to Diagon Alley was in place at this time, Harry Potter opened, it was Harry and their first time stepping into the world of magic, Hagrid made an inviting gesture, Harry nodded at him and then let Hermione walk in first.
Holding hands with Hermione is their little princess, Raven, and Lestrade's family motto is to respect women.
When they entered Diagon Alley, the nearest store to them turned out to be a ...... Pots, Harry thought it was probably the pot needed on the admission letter, but since they didn't have the coins they were supposed to use in the wizarding world, they were just looking at them.
Harry dragged Sherlock back, who wanted to pounce on the cauldron, and the man didn't know when he ran from the back to the front, Sherlock, who had just entered the wizarding world, was like a chicken blood, so Harry thought that Sherlock needed someone to watch him now.
"Dear Xiali, when we get the money from the wizarding world, we can buy anything."
Harry called Sherlock by his nickname in the same way as Mycroft, and Sherlock looked at Harry Potter with disgust, although Harry kept saying that he didn't like Mycroft, but you see if he was becoming more and more like the dead fat man now.
"You're getting more and more like the dead fat man, Harry."
"That's my pleasure, Charlie."
Originally, Sherlock wanted to hit Harry, but who knew that his brother also followed at this time, to be honest, hitting Sherlock was McCroft's lifelong preference, as long as he could see Sherlock's deflated expression, Mycroft could be happy for a long time.
Mycroft and Lestrade are very close to each other, and they have just been chatting with Mr. and Mrs. Granger, who discussed with him about the effects of sweets on his teeth, given that Mr. Granger is a dentist.
Before, Lestrade was still very controlling about sweets, mainly for his teeth, and of course, his weight, but after the last Eastern European incident, Mycroft was indeed seriously injured, and he lost a lot of weight at that time, which also made Lestrade feel distressed for a long time, so after that, he also had the problem of controlling McCroft's desserts and sweets.
In a conversation with Mr. Granger, McCroft thought that Mr. Granger was a very good dentist and that he would hire him as his dentist when he had a real problem with his teeth.
"By the way, Harry, you don't have the money for the wizarding world yet, so we need to go to Gringotts once, where your parents left the money you need to go to school."
The Potter family, as an old family, certainly had vaults in Gringotts, and the money in them was enough to pay for Harry's seven years of schooling.
However, Lestrade thought differently from Hagrid, he stepped forward and smiled at Hagrid and said, "Mr. Hagrid, you said before that Gringotts can exchange money from the wizarding world and our world, right?" I think the cost of going to school for Harry and Thor should be paid for by me, the father. β
Hagrid was stunned for a moment and then nodded hurriedly, "Yes, you're right, it's supposed to be like this." β
"I think Harry's money can be saved and used when he grows up, after all, who knows what the future holds."
Lestrade winked at his eldest son, they were not very familiar with the wizarding world, if Harry got married in the future, whether he married a wizard like him, or an ordinary person needed his own savings, it was impossible to rely on his parents all the time, so Lestrade thought that Harry's money could be left for him to plan for the future.
There are three kinds of coins in the wizarding world, first of all, the most valuable is the gold galleon, according to the exchange rate of pounds sterling and gold gallons, a gold galleon is worth five pounds, and below the gold galleon is silver sike, one gold galleon can be equal to seventeen silver sico, under the silver sike is copper nat, and one silver xike can be exchanged for huΓ n out of twenty-nine copper naut.
The Lestrades had come out with about a thousand gold Galleons, they weren't very sure about the level of spending in the wizarding world, and given that they might need to buy a lot of other things, it would be better to have a little more money.
The main thing is that when Harry and Thor go to school, they can't be short of money, and who knows if they will want to buy something.
If the gold coins weren't enough, maybe they could exchange some more before they left.
A thousand gold Galleons, Hagrid was surprised by the magnanimity of Harry's adoptive father, who he had thought might be ...... for a child who was not his own Stingy, for the time being it seems that he was wrong, Harry really lived like a prince as Dumbledore had said.
Hagrid wiped his eyes with a crumpled and dirty handkerchief, and he thought that James and Lily would be happy if they knew that Harry was doing so well.
Hagrid didn't know what kind of mission he had, he said goodbye to Harry and them for a while at Gringotts, but before leaving, Harry seemed to hear Hagrid mention a number, which seemed to be the number of the vault.
Underground vault 713.
After cashing the money, they soon found themselves on the streets of Diagon Alley, where they had a lot of things to buy.
Because what Hermione wanted to go to was a bookstore, so Harry decided that the first stop was the bookstore, the bookstore in Diagon Alley was called the Blotted Bookstore, which had a lot of wild histories or novels about the wizarding world in addition to some textbooks needed by the little wizards.
Hermione came to the bookstore as if she had seen some kind of treasure, of course, there was no difference between Sherlock and Hermione, if it weren't for Harry and the others dragging Sherlock, the man would probably have bought all the books back and read them.
Because Harry and the others needed basic textbooks, the Blotted Bookstore was very considerate to help them pack them a long time ago, and they only needed to pay to fill in an address and they could be delivered with an owl. But except for the textbooks that Harry and Thor needed, everyone had their own choices, and Hermione, needless to say, was eager to buy everything she was interested in.
Little Lestrade and Loki bought a book on how to play pranks, which taught them how to use some magic to prank their friends, and Merlin looked left and right and finally picked up a book about potions, and I don't know why he was so interested in potions. Lestrade and McCroft bought books on some of the events of modern magic, and asked for a shopping list at the Blotted Bookstore, which was happy to deliver as well.
Hannibal bought books on the psychological aspects of magic, such as how to close your brain and other books hidden in the corners. As a psychiatrist, Hannibal was interested in books on the subject.
Harold, Will, Tony, and Raven weren't very interested in these things, after all, Harold and Tony were hands-on people, and these theoretical aspects of magic didn't apply to them.
As for Will, he thinks that he can just follow Hannibal and look at the same thing, and he doesn't need to buy the exact same.
Raven is not interested in books, she likes beautiful clothes.
Lestrade and McCroft chose what they wanted early on, they stood aside and let their bear children choose, they needed to have their own choice, especially in the books, parents sometimes didn't need to give too much advice.
Since Hogwarts had only recently begun to give out their notices, there were a lot of shoppers, not without families like the Lestrades, who were traditionally dressed Muggles. The wizards in the Blotted Bookstore wore black robes, and only a few ladies wore bright coloured dresses, but unlike the Muggle world dresses, the ladies wore more Victorian evening gowns, with classical gowns.
Mycroft noticed a man who was single, dressed in a black robe, with pale blonde hair that supple over his shoulders and a cane in his hand. In fact, such a person usually doesn't care about Mycroft, but now his eyes are glued to Harry's body, which makes Mycroft mind a little.
That Rubeus Hagrid also said that Harry was a little wizard that everyone knew in the wizarding world, so this person recognized Harry too, right?
The man felt the gaze from Mycroft and turned his head to look at him, although they were Muggles, the two men in suits standing in the corner were impossible to ignore, especially since he had noticed that these two men had come in with Harry Potter.
If I'm not mistaken, they are the adoptive fathers of Harry Potter, the boy who died through the grapevine.
Muggle men don't like it at all, but the name of the boy who doesn't die is a bit tempting, and for a pure-blood family like them, even if it's better not to go to them, at least nodding friends can be passed, especially his family.
If you can have something to do with Harry Potter, maybe you will stop those who have been nagging for eleven years.
So the arrogant man nodded to the two men standing in the corner, namely McCroft and Lestrade, as a gesture.
After McCroft and Lestrade gave him a polite smile in return, the man left the bookstore.
Lestrade was a little confused, he looked at the man with a smile on his face and said, "Who is that gentleman just now?" β
"I don't know, but I probably recognize Harry, and I don't think Harry's identity is important, but many people will definitely want to be friends with him."
Hearing his lover's words, Lestrade didn't understand a little, befriended? Why?
Hagrid mentioned that Harry's biological parents were heroes, Harry was still a household name, and judging from the attitude towards Harry in that Leaky Cauldron just now, Harry should belong to the kind of person with a celebrity effect.
If this kind of person is placed in the society of adults, many people will want to be friends with him, even if they can't become friends, no one will have a bad relationship with him, and they will do it in terms of face.
That's probably the kind of thing that the man just now, a person with a celebrity effect like Harry Potter can't do anything if he can make friends.
Seeing that Lestrade frowned, Mycroft stretched out his hand to soothe him, he knew that Lestrade was worried about something, it was nothing more than Harry's interpersonal problems, "You can rest assured that Hogwarts are all children, and the oldest is only about to be seventeen years old, Harry should also have the most contact with people in the same grade, and the world of adults will not affect him, besides, you still don't believe in Harry's interpersonal skills?" β
Lestrade sighed, not in disbelief, but ......
The world of adults is still cruel, and the thought of Harry not being by his side but having to face a lot of things makes Lestrade a little difficult.
"And Thor is by Harry's side, don't worry, Gray."
Lestrade was glad that Harry could go to school with Thor's brother, so that the two of them could take care of each other anyway.
"Dad, we've all got you covered."
The bears had all chosen the books they wanted, and after paying the money, Lestrade gave the bookstore staff the address of his home, saying that they would be able to deliver it tomorrow so they didn't have to worry.
Sherlock was probably the one who bought the most books, and he mainly bought the same potions books as Merlin, and he had just looked through them, and he was probably going to buy some materials for potions, and he found that many of them were things he hadn't seen before.
"I just inquired, and next to this is the place where we can customize clothes, called Madame Morkin's Robe Specialty Store, and it is said that the clothes of the newborn are all customized here."
When Raven heard that she could go to see the clothes now, she immediately grabbed Lestride's hand, raised her head with anticipation, and Leven rubbed their beauty-loving little princess funny, "Okay, okay, let's see if there are any clothes that Raven likes." β
The Granger family was separated from Lestrade for the time being, because Hermione wanted to buy crucibles and medicinal herbs more than clothes, and by the way, they took Sherlock with herlock, and Sherlock rarely had something to say to Hermione in this regard.
When the Les Trids opened the door of Madame Morkin's robes store, they saw a stocky lady with a smile on her face and a purple dress, who was, if not mistaken, the owner.
"Are you going to buy a Hogwarts uniform? My dear. β
The Lady Morkin was very kind and hospitable, and Harry nodded as he listened to her, "Yes, but we want to see other clothes besides uniforms, do you have any of them?" β
Madame Morkin knew that they were from the Muggle world, and it was normal for her shop pΓΉ to be unfamiliar, if you talked about her long gown shop, everyone would buy robes here, whether it was a pure-blood wizarding family or a Muggle family's young wizards, her shop pΓΉ had all the popular elements of this year.
Of course, it's about the popular elements of the wizarding world.
"Of course, we have a lot of them here, there will definitely be a dear you like, there is a young man trying on clothes inside, I think you can come in and wait, he is also a freshman this year, maybe you will have something to say."
Mrs. Morkin is also a lady who likes to talk very much, and Mycroft and Lestrade smiled at her, because the first thing to prepare was Harry and Thor's uniforms, and what Raven wanted could be put into waiting for Harry and Thor to choose their regular clothes, so Ris Stoll let Harry and Thor go in first, and Loki, who was tightly pulled by Thor and was unwilling to let go, also took it as a companion.
It was the first time that Mrs. Morkin had seen such a large family, most of the wizards' families were sparsely populated, probably like many of them were only children at their age, except for the Weasleys, who had many children.
So she pulled out her wand and cast a transfiguration spell on the stool next to her, so that Lestrade and the others could sit and wait for a while.
Tony poked Merlin and whispered, "Can you?" This magic that turns one thing into another. β
Merlin raised his head and snorted, "Of course, and this lady is a bit stupid, why does she need a stick?" β
Merlin was still ignorant of the fact that wizards used wands, and in his opinion, such magic only needed to open his hand and casually click.
"Then you can change it for me."
Tony was egging on Merlin, and Mycroft cleared his throat at this time, he still knew about wizards using wands, so he didn't suggest that Merlin show his magic here.
"Tony, Merlin, you can go and see if you have any clothes you want."
Tony didn't have much interest in clothes, but that didn't mean Merlin didn't, he forgot about what Tony had just changed himself and dragged Tony over to look at the clothes, followed by little Raven. Hannibal watched Raven run away, thought about it and jumped off the couch and made an inviting gesture to Will, so that they too could go and see the so-called wizard's robes.
In the end, only Harold and two adults were left on the couch.
Mycroft looked at the wizarding world and had a lot of thoughts in his mind, maybe they would have to remind Harry, Loki, and Merlin about their magic when they got home.
Speaking of Harry, Thor, and Loki, who had been dragged by Thor, the three of them came to the back of the shop, where a young man from the mouth of Mrs. Makin was standing on a high stool, his face was pale and a little thin, his appearance was delicate but he pursed his lips, and his pale blonde hair made him look a little like Raven's doll, but a strict and impatient doll.
Because Harry was looking up at the boy, he looked at the boy's long eyelashes and thought to himself, there really was a boy who was as delicate as Loki.
The children of the Lestrade family are different kinds of cuteness, Loki is the most delicate one in their family, and Tony's cutest thing is the big eyes.
Madame Morkin asked Harry and Thor to stand on the stool next to the boy, and began to pin their dimensions to the makeshift robes Harry was wearing.
The boy also noticed the three boys who suddenly appeared next to him, judging from the age, the black-haired boy standing on the side should not be this year's freshmen, they looked plain and did not know the ancient wizard family, the boy frowned, if he usually would not take the initiative to speak, but now he is a little bored, he is still a little looking forward to school, so he thought about it and took the initiative to open his mouth.
"Hey, are you going to Hogwarts too?"
Harry glanced at the boy and nodded, it seemed that the boy was not very friendly to them, but Harry was good at handling interpersonal relationships, especially children, so he gave the boy a bright smile, "Yes, my brother and I are both freshmen this year, are you too?" Then we are not classmates. β
Harry is calming the mood, and sometimes if someone doesn't treat you well, you can infect him with a smile.
Sure enough, the boy's expression softened a little, although he still looked arrogant, but he didn't speak as domineering as he had just now.
"Yes, my dad buys me books next door, and my mom goes out on the street to help me find my wand." His speech was slow, and he sounded very arrogant in a long voice, but when he mentioned his father and mother, there was a little coquettishness in it, like a child who couldn't leave his parents.
Arrogance is such a thing, to be honest, the bear children in Lestrade's family have their own pride, just like Hannibal, although he can talk to you with a smile, but his words are always arrogant. It's the same with Loki, if it's someone he doesn't like, then don't want Loki to give him a good look for the rest of his life.
After coming into contact with his brothers, Harry didn't care much about the boy's attitude.
The boy was probably pleased with Harry's attitude, so he began to complain.
He wanted a broomstick, about which Harry had read in the text that Mycroft had given him before, and in the wizarding world there was a sport called Quidditch, which was partly like their football, but played in the sky.
"I want to ...... Probably because we're worried that we won't be able to control it? β
Harry chose a modest answer, and Loki glanced at Harry, who seemed to be trying to lay a foundation for himself and Thor.
"I don't think it's necessary, do you have broomsticks?"
He also looked at Thor, in fact, he had already looked at Thor and Loki just now, Thor's golden hair made him feel a little familiar, and Loki actually looked like a Slytherin from those eyes, cunning.
If Harry may not have had much affection for the boy before, but now he has a little bit because he uses you.
Neither Hagrid nor the wizards who greeted him had neglected his brother before, much to Harry's displeasure, though he hadn't said it. However, the boy's "you" thought he was still a polite child, and Harry considered himself an adult, and he would not be prejudiced against the boy because of his previous arrogant attitude.
"Nope."
"Oh." The boy snuffed out his voice after receiving Harry's answer, "Have you ever played Quidditch then?" β
"Unfortunately, no."
Unfortunately, Harry still had a lot of interest in the game called Quidditch.
"Is that your brother next to you?"
The boy looked at Loki and said.
Sol thought that the pale blonde boy was going to grab his brother from him, and immediately pulled Loki behind him, which caused the boy to show a shallow smile.
"Yes, my brother."
Harry replied.
"He looks like a Slytherin, did he go back to Hogwarts?"
Loki nodded, of course, of course, he will go where Thor will go, otherwise it would be bad if their stupid people were bullied.
"Do you know what academy you're going to?"
"I don't know, you can't escape from the four academies after all, do you say? After all, Hogwarts didn't give us a fifth option. β
The boy was amused by Harry's joke, it was the first time he had seen four houses so teased, and he didn't care what house he went to. The boy thought that the dark-haired boy with the glasses might go to Slytherin, after all, he had a good sense of humor and seemed to be assertive, a little different from the other houses, didn't he?
"Of course, it's a pity that there is no fifth choice, and no one knows what kind of house they will go to until they arrive, I will definitely go to Slytherin, and there is no one in my family who is not from Slytherin."
The boy had a sense of pride in it when he talked about Slytherin and his own family, and the boy was the same when he mentioned his parents before, Harry snickered in his heart, no matter how arrogant the boy was, he still liked his family very much, loved his parents very much, and their family was a bit imaginary.
Family-centered, family-proud.
"Slytherin? I love the name. β
Loki nodded, he liked the name of the house more than Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw.
Thor secretly remembered Loki's favorite house, hmm, Slytherin, right? Then he'll go to Slytherin, so that next year when his brother comes, he can share a house with his brother.
But Saul didn't know that there was a saying in this world that the heavens did not obey the wishes of man.
