170. Thor's Wand
To be honest, this was the first time Harry had met a child in the wizarding world, Harry had long heard that there were many families in the wizarding world, they were very traditional and ancient families, because the family had been wizards for generations, so they were also called pure-bloods.
Many of these pure-blood families have lasted for hundreds of years, and not only have their own power in the wizarding world, but also have money equivalent to the family.
The main thing is that many pure-blood families are proud of their bloodline and proud of their family.
No matter how arrogant the boy in front of Harry is, it is still within the range that Harry can accept, the most important thing is that Loki, who has never liked human contact, is rare to have some likes for this boy, and likes the Slytherin that the boy said.
When the boy heard that Loki liked Slytherin, he smiled smugly, "It looks like you have a lot of vision, no matter who you are, if you want to enter Slytherin next year, I will take care of you reluctantly." β
Harry looked at the boy amusedly, it was the first time he had heard that someone other than Thor wanted to take care of Loki, although he didn't know much about the ability of ordinary wizards, but he thought that Loki was a little genius in magic, and probably even his peers or even a few years higher would not be more powerful than him.
"I'll take care of my brother, and I'm going to Slytherin too."
This is probably the funniest joke the boy has ever heard, even Lady Morkin, who pinned Thor's robes, also laughed, to be honest, she had seen many, many wizards, especially those who were going to school, and the little wizards had different expectations for their future, especially the little wizards who grew up in the wizarding world had their own ideas about school.
But like Thor, who is obviously a pure Gryffindor, wants to go to Slytherin, and he really ...... I haven't seen it, especially for my brother.
Madame Morkin glanced at the little boy standing beside Thor, he was indeed delicate in appearance and looked like he had a natural nobility, if he hadn't met his fathers, he might have really thought of him as the child of some pure-blood family.
"You? Slytherin? β
The boy had wanted to be sarcastic, he was a stupid Gryffindor and wanted to enter Slytherin, which was probably the funniest joke he had ever heard, but his eyes swept over Harry and the dark-haired boy beside him, and he rarely held back his taunts, and his father had said that sometimes he could make some friends, which would be very helpful for them.
"Okay, I think you need to work hard."
They saw Hagrid, who had finally finished his business and found them at Lady Morkin's Robe Shop, Harry frowned as he looked at the two huge ice creams Hagrid was holding, and the boy looked at Harry's gaze and frowned again.
Harry had already been measured, and he jumped down from his stool and told Madame Morkin to go out for a while, since Thor wanted Loki to have the same outfit as himself, so the two of them couldn't end the fight for the time being.
Loki understood why Harry had gone out on his own, his dear brother wasn't in a good mood before he went out, maybe he wanted to tell SΓΉ Hagrid that they were a family, and he shouldn't just pay attention to Harry himself.
"Who was that guy just now?"
"One...... It's just the same stupid thing to focus on as most goldfish. β
Loki climbed onto the footstool, believing that the Sherlock Holmes brothers' common word for goldfish was a good description of these wizarding fools, who didn't know where Harry's scales were, and thought Harry Potter was a stupid kid who didn't know anything.
You must know that since Harry can get their approval, it means that there are some things in Harry that are so different.
"Goldfish? What is it called? β
The boy seemed to like Loki very much, at least a little more and more curious than he had just said.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid, only seven seconds of memory, take your choice."
In short, in the final analysis, goldfish is just a contemptuous statement for people's intelligence.
The boy shrugged, "I like that statement, it doesn't really look like he's a smart guy." β
Harry did have some headaches about Hagrid's attitude towards himself, or rather neglect of his brothers, and Harry could see that Hagrid had put all his attention on himself, and all he did was to become friends with him.
Harry had to admit that Hagrid wasn't really a bad guy, he was just ...... It's just stupid.
Harry had also greeted Reestrade as he left the robes shop, and Reestrade was a little concerned, but McCroft reassured him, Harry was a smart kid and honestly knew what he was supposed to do.
Lestrade looked at Mycroft helplessly, it seemed that the man really wanted Harry to solve this matter by himself, but after thinking about it, Harry was so old, if it was before, he would definitely let Harry solve it himself, but because of the sudden change of environment, Lestrade's stupid dad mode was reopened.
"Well, I'm sure Harry can figure it out on his own."
Lestrade watched Raven run towards him with a shiny dress, oh, it looks like their little princess has found a favorite outfit, it is said that wizards' clothes can be customized, so they may be able to make a new one for Raven...... In the clothes of the larger size, Raven has been looking a lot rounder lately.
Lestrade thought as he rubbed his precious daughter's fat face.
Harry was now standing in front of Hagrid, who shoved the ice cream in his hand into Harry's hand, "Harry, this is the best ice cream in Diagon Alley, you're going to love it." β
Harry looked at the ice cream in his hand and nodded his thanks, but he didn't eat it right away, since Hagrid said it was the best ice cream in the whole of Diagon Alley, maybe he could wait and ask his brothers to eat it as a small compensation.
"Where is this ice cream parlor?"
Hagrid gestured to a food store not far from Madame Morkin's robes store, "That's it, there's a lot of little snacks that are unique to the wizarding world, Harry, I think you'll enjoy it." β
Harry let out a long sigh as he took a bite of the ice cream in Hagrid's expectant eyes, it did taste great, but Harry had eaten all sorts of good things, especially after Mycroft became their love interest, and the guy with his sweet tooth often sneaked them out for dinner.
"It's delicious, I love it, thank you so much Hagrid."
Hagrid smiled brightly when he heard Harry's affirmative answer. Harry sighed again, Hagrid seemed to be a simple person, but sometimes he was also very stupid. He probably didn't notice what Harry was trying to remind him of, and although Harry didn't know what the relationship between Rubeus Hagrid and his parents was, it was a long time ago, and he still wished Hagrid would value his current family and his brothers.
When the word "parents" was mentioned, Harry didn't think about his biological parents, but when he started to be sensible, Lestrade had already told Harry about the death of his parents, and Harry had cried and made trouble, but he was now grown up, wasn't he, if he was crying or taking the so-called hatred to heart, how could he protect his brothers.
"Hagrid, what I'm trying to say is...... Whether you see me as a hero or something special, I'm just Harry Potter, and I miss my biological parents though...... I haven't met them. "Harry had thought that his father should be as he imagined, and his mother was probably gentle, like his Dad." I know you're welcoming me to the wizarding world, but ...... You don't have to worry, I'm not alone, and my brother Thor will be with me to school. β
Harry reminded Hagrid that he wasn't alone, and that he had a brother by his side.
"Yes, yes, by the way, your brother is going to Hogwarts with you, I forgot about it."
Hagrid patted his head as if he had forgotten about it.
Harry smiled, whether Hagrid remembered it or not, he just hoped that Hagrid would not neglect his brothers like this, it would be very uncomfortable for him.
"By the way, what kind of people are Slytherins?"
They are not very familiar with Slytherin, but they know it all in the information, since he and Saul both want to pave the way for Loki and Merlin who come to school later, then it is best for them to go to an academy, Loki's will is very clear, he seems to be very interested in what the pale blonde boy said about Slytherin, and Saul's meaning is also very clear that I will go wherever my brother goes.
So Harry wondered if he should go to Slytherin as well.
"Slytherin? Harry, don't go to Slytherin even if you get a Hufflepuff, there isn't a bad wizard who didn't come out of Slytherin, they arrogantly look down on the other houses, and the main thing is that they are all allegiants of the Mysteries, in short, they are not good people. β
College discrimination?
Harry frowned, Hagrid said Slytherin as if he was disgusted from the bottom of his heart, as if there was no good person in that house, Harry did not agree with Hagrid's statement, if Slytherin was arrogant, this could be explained, after all, the boy was also very arrogant.
But Hagrid couldn't kill them all.
"Hagrid, I don't think that the academy's background can determine what kind of person a person is."
Harry took a step back, he was a good guy to Hagrid, but he sometimes had a slight disagreement with Harry, and since Harry thought he might go to Slytherin for his brothers, he didn't want to talk to Hagrid about his thoughts for the time being.
Hagrid scratched his head and tried to open his mouth to say something, but when he saw Harry's somewhat distant eyes, he closed his mouth, and for a rare moment, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't given Harry any gift yet, so he wanted to take Harry to buy an owl or a cat or something.
Harry shook his head, "You've already given the gift, Hagrid, your birthday cake is the best gift I've received this year, and I'm grateful for having you here." β
Harry hugged Hagrid, he didn't need any gifts, for Harry it was good to have a heart sometimes.
Harry eventually sent Hagrid away, he wasn't fit to stay here, who knows if he would say something that he didn't like to discriminate against Slytherin, and if Loki heard it, his usually arrogant brother who didn't care about the occasion who knew what he would do.
So for Hagrid's safety, Harry eventually sent him away and said goodbye to Hogwarts.
Seeing Hagrid's tall figure go away, Harry wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he wondered what his first Hogwarts friend would think if he wanted to go to Slytherin in the future.
"Harry, do you think this dress looks good?"
As soon as he returned to Madame Morkin's robes shop, Harry saw his little sister wearing a well-fitting European dress and gloves on her hands, standing there like a real princess.
"You're pretty, little princess Sapphire."
"Alright, Raven's clothes have been chosen, and we can now move on to the next place." In fact, the Lestrades are all waiting for Harry's return, they have already chosen what they want, and left the address, and when Harry and Saul's school uniforms are ready, they will be sent home along with the other clothes they bought.
Harry nodded, they still needed to buy crucibles and wands and other miscellaneous things, and by the way he was sure that McCroft would have liked the ice cream shop too.
Before Lestrade left, Harry glanced at the back of the shop and could faintly see the little boy with pale blonde hair standing there.
Thor stepped forward and stabbed Harry, whispering, "Harry, what do you think of Slytherin?" The younger brother had a very good conversation with the little boy just now, and it seemed that the non-Slytherin was not going. β
"I think it's a good choice, Thor."
Thor showed a big smile, he wanted to take care of his younger brother, and he couldn't give it to someone else, otherwise his brother would become someone else's family!
Harry, the first thing they went to was the food store, the food in the wizarding world really has its own characteristics, when a frog jumped out of the box, Harry was startled, he looked helplessly at the frog lying on the ground and no longer moved, and smiled helplessly, well, it looks like it can't be eaten.
With the exception of this runaway chocolate frog, they have "ransacked" almost the entire snack shop, buying everything they are interested in, regardless of whether they are good or not, regardless of the price. Eventually, the food, which they might have eaten on the way back and given to Hermione, was delivered to their home in the afternoon with the help of the shopkeeper.
Lestrade went to the wand shop before they went to Hermione, it was said that every young wizard needed a wand, although Harry didn't think he needed a wand, but the school rules always had to be followed, didn't they?
The wand shop looked small and broken, the golden sign on the door had fallen off, and it was faintly visible on it, Ollivander: The words "Finest Wand" had been made since 382 BC, and they had stepped into the shop, it was dimly lit and there were thousands of boxes on the shelves next to it, and Harry couldn't know why he could feel the fluctuations of magic inside.
The wand shop was a little small, and it was a little crowded when they all came in.
Merlin looked up at the boxes, and Harry could feel that each of the so-called wands had a story to tell, and they felt so ...... Gentle, to Merlin they were like a call.
"Good afternoon."
A soft voice suddenly sounded behind Harry, who had been looking at the shop with Thor, when he turned around to see an old man who looked very old, but his light eyes shone with a shrewd light.
"Hello, sir."
He recognized Harry's identity at a glance, and spoke of Harry's mother, saying that she had bought a wand from him as if it were yesterday. However, he looked at the lightning-like scar on Harry's head and sighed, and then apologized and said that the wand that hurt Harry was also from his hand, and that he was sorry that the wand did not have a good owner.
"Looks like you're living as Dumbledore said you are, Mr. Potter."
His eyes were very sharp, and he nodded at Lestrade, probably the man who adopted Harry and took good care of their immortal boy.
"Alright, Mr. Potter, come on, let me see, which arm do you use your wand?"
Harry thought for a moment that he preferred to use his right hand when casting magic, so he held out his right hand, and Mr. Ollivander took out a magic tape measure for Harry to measure the length of his arm.
"It doesn't look like you're the only one enrolled in Mr. Porter this year."
He smiled back at Thor, who was standing aside, and Harry nodded and said, "My brother and I were accepted. β
"Then let's do them one by one, shall we?"
After measuring Harry's size, they began to try to see what kind of wand would fit Harry. When Harry held the wand in his hand, he was actually a little uneasy, as it was the first time he had used something like this.
It seemed that Harry was a very picky customer, and he almost caused a load when he swung his first wand, so Mr. Ollivander became cautious, and he searched a lot but couldn't find the wand that Harry wanted to match.
"A discerning guest, there it is, I thought of ......"
Harry's final wand was an eleven-inch-long, holly wood with a phoenix feather at the core, soft and flexible.
However, he has a twin wand, which is said to be in ...... In the hands of the man who had hurt Harry.
After Harry had chosen his wand, it was time for Thor, who swallowed his saliva, to be honest he had never known that he had magic, he had never shown such abilities like Loki and the others, so he was a little worried about whether he would find his wand.
Loki shook his hand, "Thor, you won't have a problem, why did you become so unconfident." β
"I'm just worried I won't be able to be with you, brother, Loki."
"This is Mr. Odinson, right? You don't have to worry about anything, if you get a letter from Hogwarts that it must be someone with magic, then let's see what kind of wand is right for you. β
Thor exhaled as he picked up the first wand, and he waved it in Harry's footsteps, but there was no response, and Thor silently lowered it and took the second.
Probably Thor was more picky than Harry, having tried dozens of wands, which didn't even respond at all in his hand, as if they were just ordinary wood.
"More discerning guests." Ollivander wiped the sweat from his head, there were still a few wands in the shop that he had not made, but had been obtained and preserved without any opinion, and he thought that perhaps there would be one that Mr. Saul Odinson needed.
"Maybe there's a wand you can use."
Loki had already grasped Thor's left hand, and he could feel Thor's nervousness.
"Relax Thor you're too nervous."
After a while, Mr. Ollivander took out a black box with a pale gray wand in it, and he motioned for Thor to pick it up, and Thor looked at his brother and saw Loki nodding and let out a sigh of relief.
I don't know why Thor felt a force, he waved the wand in his hand, only to see lightning shooting out from the tip of the wand, Ollivander looked at Thor and the wand in his hand and nodded, "Twelve-inch, ebony, although the inner core in the middle doesn't know what to do at the time, but I think it's the most suitable Mr. Odinson for you." β
Thor happily hugged Loki with his wand in his hand, great, he also had a wand, which proved that he could go to school with Loki.
"It's really amazing, Mr. Potter and Mr. Odinson want you to use your wand well."
Ollivander bowed slightly as he saw off the Lestrade family, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and it seemed that the two wands had really found their own masters, and they would use the most powerful magic of the two young wizards.
Merlin glanced back into the depths of the shop as he left the shop, and he always felt that something was beckoning him.
Merlin blinked, and his heart said what could it be?
In terms of pet choice, Harry and Thor both bought an owl, one of which would stay at home, and the white Snow Loop, which Harry had fallen in love with at first sight, would be taken away by the two brothers, in fact, Thor would have liked to buy a black cat because the black cat looked like Loki.
But it was vetoed by Loki, after all, it would be nice for Thor to have one of his own.
By the time they left Diagon Alley, it was already afternoon, Harry and the others had bought everything, and as for Sherlock, who had been away from them for a while, Lestrade swore that he must have packed up all the contents of the so-called material store, and they had received the owl's gifts since that afternoon.
Let's be honest...... Lestrade's apartment was almost filled.
But that was the end of Harry's birthday, and Thor put his wand under his pillow, wondering why he always felt that it was important to him.
The little boy who had been talking to Harry and Loki in Lady Morkin's robes shop that night heard his father talk about Harry Potter's return to the wizarding world, and as Hagrid had said, they had indeed grown up listening to Harry Potter stories.
The boy in the story, who is concentrated by the mysterious man but who never dies, is so special that he thinks the boy is qualified to be his friend.
"I think Harry Potter grew up in the Muggle world, but he still deserves to be Malfoy's friend."
The little boy raised his eyebrows and still looked arrogant, but when he looked at his mother, he had a coquettish expression in it.
"Dear little dragon, it's all as you like."
The head of the Malfoy family sat on the couch as he watched the interaction of his wife and son, and pondered, Harry Potter's guardian didn't look like an ordinary person, and from a Muggle point of view, maybe they could have a relationship, but ...... It's up to their little dragon to think about it.
"Malfoy doesn't need to lower his status to make friends, whatever his status is, dear Draco."
Mrs. Malfoy glanced apprehensively at her husband, who hoped to be able to do what her darling wanted, rather than what they forced to be.
"By the way, I heard from Lady Morkin that you met a classmate who was also going to Hogwarts?"
The clever Mrs. Malfoy changed the subject.
"Yes, it's ridiculous that an authentic Gryffindor lion would want to go to Slytherin."
Referring to the freshmen he had met today, the teenager named Draco Malfoy opened up to his mom and dad.
