Diagon Alley, as the largest commercial district in the wizarding world, is naturally not just for the little wizards who go to Hogwarts.

In fact, in just this short period of time, Gawain has discovered many interesting things.

For example, the Bella Owl Shop, which sells all kinds of cute avian pets, the Quidditch Boutique with a very comprehensive display of broomsticks, the more upscale clothing store than Madame Morkin, the Ready-to-Wear Store, and the Flolin Cold Drink Shop, where he is currently staying.

But the most subtle thing is that it is a travel agency.

A journey of terror.

It sits diagonally across from Ollivander's wand shop, with an inconspicuous door, and only a listless, balding man in it serves as a reception.

Maybe it's because the boss thinks that there aren't a few customers coming to the door anyway, so he just puts on a show.

From the materials placed at the door, Gawain saw that they were running many amazing projects, such as renting a vampire castle in Texwinia, chasing "zombie trail" tours, meeting the living dead face-to-face, taking a cruise through the Bermuda Triangle, and so on.

Despite his curiosity, Gawain didn't have the slightest intention of knowing.

He observed that at the bottom of the last page of the somewhat worn booklet, a small line of floral script was secretly written, "The Company shall not be liable for any accidental death or injury during the trip." ”

"Isn't this like a fool who doesn't care if he fights or wins..."

Gawain scooped a scoop of ice cream into his mouth, and he loved the shop's Gelato gelato, which was topped with golden powder and tasted like strawberry-flavored popping candy.

In ancient Greek mythology, Ares was in charge of warfare, but the authority to victory belonged to Athena. This stupid arrangement caused Ares to suffer a great loss in the Battle of Troy, and was beaten all over the head by Athena with a shield.

"I don't know when Elsa and Colin will come over. ”

Shaking his head with a smile, rejecting the enthusiasm of his boss Florin to add another ball to him, Gawain thought as he bit his spoon.

Half an hour ago, after buying his wand, he and Elsa came to the bookstore, and after meeting up with Colin, who had already bought his textbooks, he was stuffed with a few gold gallons and sent to "go shopping".

Elsa, on the other hand, was "well-intentioned".

To "help" Colin look at the skincare products of the wizarding world.

Although even Colin himself did not understand why he, a big man, had to study what witch's beauty potion was.

But for the sake of two bottles of flame whiskey (3 Galleons) secretly in my pocket, and a large packet of magic tobacco...

Colin is "convinced".

Even if you are yourself, you may be able to use a whiter face.

(Probably...) ）

"Hey, that's..."

Placing the plastic bowl and spoon on the table, Gawain said hello to the boss and walked out of the store. He took a few quick steps along the eaves of the street, chasing after a figure he had just noticed.

Meanwhile, at the intersection of Diagon Alley, a girl with fluffy brown hair is walking briskly.

Despite her best efforts to appear calm, the clenched palms of her fists and the furrowed brow betrayed the fact that she was not happy.

Hermione Granger did have reason to be upset.

Just now, when she was "rubbing" books at the Lichen bookstore, she accidentally got separated from her father, so that now she has to carry a heavy backpack all over the street looking for people.

"I just got my eye on one... Two copies... Three books... Only... Just a few books!"

The strap of the backpack slid down her shoulders slightly, and she lifted it up a little harder, while covering her free left hand in front of her eyes, trying to resist the harsh midday sun.

"Hey, Jane. ”

A somewhat familiar salutation sounded from behind, and Hermione turned her face.

"It's really you. You are too?"

Gawain said with some excitement, and took Hermione's backpack and carried it in his hand. When he saw his back just now, he only felt that the unkempt hair was a little familiar, so he chased after him.

He didn't expect to meet acquaintances here.

"Gawain?

You're also a new Hogwarts student?!"

Hermione's mouth grew slightly, just as surprised. She was the same age as Gawain and used to go to the same private school. But after Gawain transferred to another school because his father had gone to work for a square mile, they rarely saw each other.

Jane was her middle name, and Gawain called her that after knowing that she liked Pride and Prejudice.

"Uncle, what about Auntie? Colin kept saying that there is nothing better than uncle. ”

Gawain took Hermione a few quick steps to the bottom of a canopy in front of a store.

"Uh... Jennifer didn't take a leave of absence, um..."

A scarlet blush appeared on Hermione's cheeks, and she said with some hesitation.

"Are you going with your uncle..."

Gawain guessed, and took the flyer handed over by the clerk at the door, "Jumping and frolicking magic joke shop, providing everything you never thought of", the big red characters exaggerated to occupy nearly half of the blank.

"No! I just... At... Yes, shopping. ”

Hermione reluctantly gave herself an excuse, nodding her head so hard that her shaggy brown hair fell apart.

"Hmm... I'm separated from Colin and Elsa, and I'm looking for a prominent place to sit and wait for them, do you want to be together? I mean, if you're shopping and you still have time. ”

Gawain asked casually, and after seeing Hermione blushing and nodding, he pulled up her sleeve and walked quickly.

Although he hadn't seen him for a few years, he still had some impressions of Hermione's "old rival" character.

Smart, enthusiastic, but a bit like to be strong.

As for where to wait, Gawain already had a good choice.

"Florin is a good choice, right at the intersection, it is easy to see people coming and going, there is a canopy to compare. Also, the honey and pear flavored sorbet should be delicious. ”

Gao asked someone to eat it and didn't think he wanted to eat it, Wen said that for ice cream, a sweet that only children like, he didn't have any idea of eating a few more flavors.

Thereupon...

Moments later, the two of them appeared at the Magical Menagerie...

It is a very crowded pet store, full of all kinds of animal calls, noisy pet shop.

The boss is a middle-aged woman with heavy black-rimmed glasses, holding some bread worms in her hands, and is feeding an orange lizard.

"I never knew that wizards had so many pets. ”

Hermione's eyes widened as she stared at the numerous cages.

Not only are there more common animals like cats and dogs, but there are also lizards, mice, toads, and even snakes that just look like "wizards".

"Well, I'm more curious about that soil... What the hell is Tuan Tuan. ”

With an ugly face, Gawain threw the disposable bowl in his hand into the trash can near the door, and pointed to a cage not far from him.

There were a lot of fluffy balls in it, all kinds of colors, and they kept screaming.

In appearance, they are 80% similar to the orange marshmallow ice cream he just chose.

He said.

If you don't count the wrinkled eyes that the strange "creatures" occasionally open, and the elongated pink tongue.

PS: The author of Pride and Prejudice is called Jane Austen

PPS: The original book doesn't explicitly mention it, but it does say that Hermione's middle name is Jane. Traditionally, the middle name is often the mother's name, such as Dumbledore's full name

Albus Percival Woolfrick Brian Dumbledore

Percival was his father's name.
