Hagrid took Shana and Yuji all the way to the bank, saying that if he wanted to buy them, he would have to exchange the Muggle currency in their hands for the currency of the Wizarding World. 5 pounds is exchanged for 1 Galleon, and 1 gold Galleon is equal to 17 silver sikors, which in turn can be exchanged for 29 copper nats.

"It's a mess of the conversion here."

However, the same was true of the previous pound. Knowing that before 1971, 1 pound was equal to 20 shillings, and 1 shilling was equal to 12 pence, so it is not surprising that Xana and Yuuji came up with such a strange exchange method for the wizarding world.

Passing through the owl rental center and broom shop, the white building not far away is what Hagrid calls the bank - Gringotts. But today it was a bit strange, many people gathered around the door, and from time to time there were bursts of flashes and smoke.

"I'm sorry, please let ......"

Squeezed in only to find that a large number of people were taking pictures or asking questions about a goblin with an old-fashioned camera, and vaguely heard words like "robbery".

"Robbery?"

Shana and Yuu looked at each other, Hagrid just said that only a madman would rob Gringotts, and there were dragons guarding the tunnel, but when they came in, they encountered an interview with the robbery scene, and it seems that the banks in the wizarding world may not be insured.

Thankfully, the bank was still open today, and the goblins quickly exchanged Xana's traveler's checks for a large bag of gold Galleons. The goblin who handles the business also said that they are launching a preferential campaign for the rental of the vault for new students, and now the rent is only 20% off.

After Xana said that she was not interested in the business, the fairy handed the money bag out of the way with a look of pity, lamenting that the previous robbery had also affected their business a lot.

But after a change of conversation, he asked Xana if she was willing to handle the Gringotts and Muggle connection account, Gringotts has business dealings with HSBC, the Royal Scotland and many other banks, and only need to transfer money to change Galleons in the future. However, the money-grabbing exchange rate and fees made Xana decide to stay away from the business.

Hagrid's face was a little strange when he left the bank, and Xana thought that maybe it was because of the robbery just now that Hagrid's face was unbearable, so it was better not to irritate him.

After taking the money, the next step is the big purchase. First go to Mrs. Morkin's clothing store to buy clothes, and then buy school supplies.

"Did you take this out of the museum?"

Although the color-changing ink and stuff were really interesting, Xana still felt powerless about the water-dipped quill and parchment in front of her, it was almost the 21st century, and wizards still used such ancient stationery.

Even a magician like Steele knows how to use a laser printer to print runes in batches, so why can't you improve it? There is no magic ballpoint pen magic pen, at least it is not difficult to design a magic pen.

The standard pharmacy set for students in the pharmacy is so-so, but it always makes people think about the spices. The scales in the equipment store were also not satisfied, and the rough scale (although Hagrid and the shopkeeper thought it was good enough) made Xana frown, and it would be better to go to the experimental equipment store to buy a precision balance later, and the same was true for the astronomical telescope.

After tossing a large number of spellbooks and potions cauldrons capable of crushing people to Yuuji, everyone made their way to the last stop of the purchase, Olivand's wand shop.

"Olivand's wand is the best."

Looking at the cramped, dilapidated storefront, Xana now took Hagrid's words with reservations. It's fun to take a day trip to the wizarding world today, but both Shana and Yuji feel like they're visiting a magical medieval folk village where the people seem to have lived centuries ago.

Mr. Olivande is a funny little old man. He took a long ruler with silver markings and measured it at Shana, then turned and burrowed into the shelves full of wands and took them out for Shana to try on.

"The heartstrings of the beech and lizard dragon are 9 inches in size, nice and flexible, take it and try to swing it."

A dark cloud appeared above Yuuji's head, and he was cold.

"No, let's try this. Maple and dragon's heartstrings 8 inches. ”

The lightning caused Hagrid's beard to blow up.

"No, no—this ebony and unicorn fur is eight and a half inches and a half, and it's elastic to keep trying."

The test continues, and Xana continues to cause all kinds of accidents, such as lightning, rain, fire, and smoke. Fortunately, it was not serious, and it was quickly extinguished in time. And more often than not, it was taken back by Olivander as soon as he got his hands.

The mountain of wands made Olivander more and more excited, and Yuji hid behind Hagrid, and more than half of the various accidents caused by his sister were directed at him (Xana said that he didn't mean to), hiding behind Hagrid's big man was much safer, and many accidents went to Hagrid.

"Don't worry about customers who are too late. We're sure to find one for you here. That's right! Why not—this is the work of a mysterious guest a few years ago who commissioned me to make and find the owner—the material is strange but it's great! Furah mushrooms and beckoning cat tail hair, come and try it. ”

A Q version of the cat emerges from the wand, followed by a Q version of the three-headed dragon. The two cute little animals flared for a while and disappeared into thin air.

Olivander exclaimed, "Good! That's great! That's great! It's amazing......

"Sister."

As soon as Xana got the wand, she felt a friendly aura, it was the breath of her sister, and it was a wand made with the strength of her sister. Sure enough, attending a magic school to find her sister was the right decision.

After paying 7 gold Galleons, Xana buys the wand from the wand shop, which is likely related to her sister. Although Olivander looked surprised just now, it didn't mean that he would give her a discount.

What made Shana and Yuji feel even worse about this little old man was that after going out, Hagrid told Shana the truth, that whoever went to Olivander to buy a wand would be tossed by him with all kinds of inappropriate wands for a long time, until the last thing was really suitable, it was completely a joke.

"This is a ticket to Hogwarts. On September 1st, King's Road, all written on it. ”

As we parted, Hagrid shoved an envelope to Xana, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Pick up the train from platform nine and three-quarters at 11 o'clock?"

Xia Na and Yuji looked at the unreliable platform in front of them, and they vomited powerlessly.

"Forget it, let's ask the embassy for help."

Xana, who was fed up with all kinds of unreliability, felt that the British wizarding world was really unreliable, so it was better to ask someone herself. So under Yuuji's surprised gaze, he calmly called the Japanese Embassy in London and transferred to the London branch of the Orthodox History Compilation Committee.

I don't know if I don't know the way, and I was shocked when I inquired. If Xana was going to Hogwarts, there were still a lot of things to deal with, and Hagrid didn't say a word about them, but most of the time he didn't know what to do.

For example, visas are a ** annoyance. Xana didn't think Hagrid had deliberately failed to say it, most likely because she didn't have that concept at all. The Chronicle Compilation Committee helped contact the British Ministry of Magic's Department of International Magical Cooperation to apply for a student visa for Xana.

The process was terrible, and the witch in charge of the reception made a mess of the paperwork that needed to be filled out. Not only do Xana and Yuuji have to fill out various parchment forms as high as a mountain, but they also have to endure each other's endless mistakes.

"No... No, this can't be filled in like this..."

You told me to fill it out just now.

Xana was so depressed that she invalidated the almost filled parchment in front of her and took out a new one. The visa documents do not allow any alteration or magic erasure of handwriting, so they must be filled in again.

"Oh, Merlin! Where did I put the Muggle Transaction Application Form? That's right..."

Turned, then stumbled and fell to the ground, buried by the collapsed parchment around him.

"Even the government in the wizarding world has been so unreliable. Xana, you're not going to be lost when you come home next summer, are you? ”

Yuji vomited badly, only in exchange for a hard kick from Xana.

In the end, the director of the department, Mr. Crouch, stepped in and helped the two of them with all the tasks, including how to send the guardian's signature form back to Japan and back. Xana had planned to find an international courier, but Mr. Crouch said that the Ministry of Magic could offer Swift Swift Worldwide Express Delivery, so they could just wait for the notification to get their visas, or else they would have to make an extra trip.

"Mr. Crouch is such a nice guy who showed me a different side of the wizarding world. Perhaps it is because of such government officials that the current wizarding world is not completely finished. ”

On the way back, Yuji said. Xana also has a relationship with this, and finally has a reliable one.

A few days later, the Ministry of Magic, which received Chigusa's signature, informed Shana to hand over her passport to Mr. Weasley, who was in the Ministry's Office for Illegal Use of Muggle Supplies, to apostille her visa. Originally, I was still wondering what kind of student visa would be issued by the Office for the Illegal Use of Muggle Supplies, but Weasley's words made the two of them scorched.

"Alright. I'm doing it beautifully! Muggle visa officers absolutely couldn't see any flaws. ”

Hey, you said the flaw. Isn't your Ministry of Magic also a government department loyal to Her Majesty? The visa issued is not flawed! Is it really a big husband to handle it like this?

Shana and Yuuji, who had just gained a good impression of the wizarding world, looked at Mr. Weasley, who was in charge of issuing magical student visas, and openly said that Muggle visa officers should not be able to see flaws or anything. Do you want to think about studying abroad again? The Ministry of Magic visa is actually = fake certificate, can it be more unreliable?

However, the formalities have been completed, and it seems too late to refuse now.

When the dust settles, Xana and Yuji return to Japan from their trip early, ready to accompany their mother Chigusa before school starts. Originally, Yuuji was still worried about the round-trip travel expenses, but the sponsoring company actually said that they were very happy that Xiana had obtained the qualification to study in the UK, so the additional expenses would be fully reimbursed by the company, and even issued a scholarship to Xiana for the next semester in advance.

There is bad news, though.

"No more scholarships for boys next semester?"

According to the secretary who sent the money, the scope of the scholarship has changed because of the adjustment of the company's business. The other party also "comforted" Yuji, "Boys, you have to be cruel to yourself, you haven't reached the point where you have to rob girls of money to make a living." ”

What else can be said, this is sexist! A large brick smashed on Yuuji's head. Looking at the 10,000 pound Express traveler's cheque that his sister got, the hearts of Yuji and countless boys were dripping blood, and the basic scholarship that could have been obtained as long as the study was not too bad was gone.

One of the consequences of this policy was that in the following years, the number of FFF members in many schools such as Rice Flower and Huaihu increased dramatically, and it is said that it was due to the shortage of funds for bubble girls.

Shana spent the rest of her vacation at home with her mother and brother, and went to the UK again with Yuji before school started. During this time, the family had a very warm life, and the only thing that Chigusa's mother was disappointed was that she couldn't see those interesting magic wands, magic books, etc., and Xana stored all the magic-related things in the Gringotts storage box in London (these things must not pass through the plane security).

On the morning of September 1st, Xana and Yuji set off from the Leaky Cauldron Bar and headed to the train station. The school things were put in a suitcase, the style of the box sold in Diagon Alley was too old, Xana specially bought a 20-inch LV boarding suitcase and asked someone to renovate it, and a lot of scholarships were spent in hand, and the renovation fee alone was enough for 100 Galleons.

Arriving at the station at half past ten, the two quickly found the location of the legendary "Nine and Three-Quarters Platform", which was in the pillar between platforms nine and ten. However, when I looked around, I didn't seem to see any wizards.

"Xana, it's okay if you're dressed like this, right? Don't need to change into a robe in advance? ”

A white short-sleeved top and a light sweater for summer, paired with a gray pleated skirt and foam socks, and safety pants. This is the entrance gift that Xana received from Lu Dao before leaving, and it is said to be the school uniform of a famous girls' school in the light novel "The Super Electromagnetic Gun of Science". Yuji is very strange about who sent a set of cosplay school uniforms.,But my sister likes it very much.,Said that it also has the atmosphere of a sister.。

Don't tell me your sister is actually a two-dimensional character in ACG. I have to say,Yuji's spit is actually the truth.。

Anyway, there is no Tokiwa in reality, and my sister looks good in this. Yuuji's only concern is whether his sister's dress will discriminate against wizards. In recent days, he has seen the arrogance of wizards in the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and there is a trace of contempt for Muggles, even wizards from Muggle families.

"Don't worry, brother. If there's anyone who doesn't open their eyes and wants to find fault..."

Needless to say, the following is true. What Yuji is afraid of is not that his sister is being bullied, but whether the guy who is trying to bully his sister will survive. Hell, it's almost the 21st century, but the minds of these wizards are at least before the fifteenth century. Fortunately, the Hitler (Voldemort) of the wizarding world has been dead for ten years, otherwise he would never let his sister go to magic school after knowing these things, and he didn't want to hear the news report that the British Isles suddenly disappeared into the Atlantic Ocean one day (Xana had introduced Yuji to the power of the Rainbow Cannon).

"It's not too early, I'll write to you when I get to school."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xana pulled her suitcase and quietly approached the pillar in the middle of the ninth and tenth platforms, slightly lowering her sense of presence, and when no one around noticed her, Xana leaned in quietly, and the person disappeared in front of Yuuji.

"The journey went well..."

My sister will soon be on that Hogwarts Express to the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but my brother can only wave here, and he can't even help carry the boxes (Muggles can't get into the station).

Yuuji, who sent his sister away, was very disappointed.,I feel like my brother can't take care of my sister.。 But it's a high-risk event to be distracted and not look at the road when walking.,Yuuji, who was just thinking about his sister, didn't see the front clearly.,Bumped into someone.。

"I'm sorry, I..."

Seeing the figure in front of him, Yuji was stunned.

The girl was about the same age as Xana, maybe even a little smaller, with her long brown hair falling down to her waist. But what is striking is the fluttering cat ears and swirling dull hair on the head from time to time.

A cat demon. If it was before, Yuji would probably shout on the spot, but after experiencing so many supernatural events recently, the magical pet shop in Diagon Alley has also seen a lot of strange animals, and Yuu has calmed down a lot.

But why is this cat demon wearing the same undisciplined armpit witch costume that is said to be the same as a certain oriental protagonist? Is it a shrine maiden from a certain shrine? That's a rarity in the UK.

"Envy your sister, do you want the power of magic? Let's sign a contract with Misaka. ”

A certain QB-possessed undisciplined Misaka Meow said to Yuuji.
