Chapter 13: The first meeting with the Savior and Hermione
Once you buy your wand, it's much more convenient to do the rest.
Pulling out their shopping list, Sephiroth confirmed what else they needed to make their trip.

Well, except for clothes and pets, which need to be done yourself, it seems that everyone else can take care of the rest.
After handing over the items to the shopkeepers and explaining that they only needed the most haode things, Sephiroth and Draco left unceremoniously. These shopkeepers will help them deliver what they need to their respective homes, which can be regarded as a small help from fame. After all, the Malfoys and the Sterling family are both ancient families that are relatively famous in terms of money and power, and they will not rely on this account.
"Hmm...... With only the Fantastic Zoo and Madame Morkin's Robes Shop left, it's up to you to go next, Draco. β
"Let's go to Madame Morkin's robe store first, if you lead your pet there, you'll be kicked out."
Draco shuddered at the thought of the current Lady Morkin, who was the teacher of etiquette for these aristocratic young men, and the strict and harsh majesty of the past still remained in his heart.
"......, too. So, let's go. β
Sephiroth didn't have much of an impression of this teacher who had only taught him for less than three days, only that he was a more rigid and persistent lady with a more rigid and persistent etiquette, and he didn't expect Draco to be so afraid of her.
Sure enough, is a creature like a teacher inherently a student's world?
Walking up to Madame Morkin's shop, Draco unconsciously straightened his back and pushed open Madame Morkin's door with millimeter precision.
But Sephiroth didn't need to adjust, he was used to keeping it that way the moment he left the house.
"Ahem! Madame, we're going to sell three sets of Hogwarts freshman uniforms. β
Draco greeted with some restraint, and he seemed a little unable to let go of the teacher.
"Lady Morkin, long time no see. Your appearance has not changed at all compared to that time, and this kind of maintenance skill will make other ladies envious to death. β
In comparison, as Ms. Morkin's protΓ©gΓ©, Sephiroth's impression in Ms. Morkin's heart is much more intimate.
"Isn't this Malfoy Jr. and Sterling Jr.? Why, it's time for you to go to school! I didn't expect you to grow so big from a child in a blink of an eye. β
Lady Morkin's voice came from the back room of the shop, and a graceful woman approached, dressed in a purple magical coat, whose diminutive stature was completely ignored by her temperament.
Sephiroth had always believed that the slightly ironic name of Lady Morkin was not at all appropriate for the lady. Although she was small and slightly chubby, that terrible name, with the meaning of "sloppy woman", was not worthy of her at all.
"Come, stand up. Let me measure you. β
Waving to Sephiroth and Draco, Lady Morkin said kindly.
Draco and Sephiroth stood on a low stool, and without the lady opening their mouths, they felt themselves holding their hands flat into a figure of ten.
There are not many wizards' shops, and even fewer sell clothes, and this is not the first time they have come to buy clothes from this Lady Morkin robes store, and they have long known what the rules are.
Several tape measures are flexible around them, constantly giving out groups of data measurements. However, the little ones seemed to be a little clingy, and they occasionally rubbed a few times on the other side, and Draco was afraid that he was not used to such intimate movements.
Just then, a dark-haired boy walked in, and he was a little cowering and standing by the door.
Seeing that he seemed a little timid, Draco only glanced at him before looking away.
Such a timid and cowardly guy didn't need to be bothered by a dignified Master Draco at all.
"All right, kids. It's time to relax. The new data has been recorded, and you have to buy something else, right? I'll deliver your uniforms directly to your home. Three sets, according to the old way, how about the most haode material? β
"Oh, kid. Are you a freshman too? Wait a minute, it will be your turn soon. β
Having stopped writing, Lady Morkin seemed pleased with Sephiroth's cooperation, which saved her considerable time.
"Most haode material, ma'am. Also, thank you very much. β
Draco had to repeat again with certainty, they were wizarding nobles, and since the clothes were custom-made, they naturally had to use the most haode materials.
"Well, I'll leave the rest to you. Draco and I went first, ma'am. β
Sephiroth also didn't pay attention to the new boys, even though he knew at first sight that he was the so-called protagonist of this shijie, Harry Potter.
Sephiroth knew that with Harry Potter's character, he was destined not to be on his side.
Moreover, after actually meeting him, Sephiroth deeply understood what it means to be "better to be famous than to meet".
It was getting late, and Sephiroth had left with a sin of Lady Morkin. Ms. Morkin also smiled understandingly, she also came over at this age, so she naturally knew how many things to buy before the new students entered the school, and she also knew how anxious these little guys were.
On the horizon, the sun has begun to set in the west, but the number of pedestrians on the road has not decreased much. Much to Draco's displeasure, he ran into the pesky half-blood giant after he got out of Madame Morkin, which ruined his good mood for the whole day.
"Did you see that? That stupid troll! β
Draco's eyes gestured in Hagrid's direction.
Hagrid's body was so large that even if he tried to shrink his body and stand on the side of the road, it almost blocked most of the way, and Sephiroth had no reason not to see him.
"Of course, what's wrong?"
Sephiroth asked, somewhat inexplicably.
"According to my dad, this guy is a half-blood giant who had his wand broken by the Ministry of Magic many years ago. He should have been put to death, or imprisoned in Azkaban instead of messing around here. What if he suddenly goes crazy, I've heard that giants can eat people. β
Draco said as he walked in the opposite direction to Hagrid. In his mind, the mere proximity to such a magical creature was already a defiiency.
"Oh~ frightened little guy, are all the wizards on the street all dough? Even if he goes crazy, there are so many wizards here that he can be dealt with right away. Do not worry! β
Sephiroth amused little Malfoy now, and pushed his elbow against him and motioned for him to look around, this was not a deep mountain forest.
On the side of the road in Diagon Alley, a family was wandering helplessly at the moment.
They were the Granger family, who were first introduced to magic and voluntarily refused to accompany them due to the lack of professors at Hogwarts.
Right now, they're regretting that decision.
Hermione and her parents arrived at Diagon Alley, standing on the side of the road helpless due to their unfamiliarity with the rules of the wizarding world, just as Draco and Sephiroth walked by. Compared to those adult wizards dressed strangely in gray robes, these two handsome children seemed to be much easier to talk to.
"Excuse me, but are you new to Hogwarts?"
Hermione's father asked Sephiroth and Draco tentatively.
"Yes, you are?"
While chatting and strolling through the store, Sephiroth didn't expect to be accosted, and looked in the direction from which the voice came from.
A middle-aged man was looking in the direction of Sephiroth, looking left and right and there was no other person who matched, probably this gentleman just asked.
A timid brown-haired Lori girl took her mother's hand and followed behind the father, her eyes filled with curiosity and fear for this shijie, and at the same time showed a desire for help.
"Oh! Great, do you have time? We probably need some help. Rest assured, we don't take up too much of your time, just to get a little bit of information. β
Hearing Sephiroth's answer, Mr. Granger smiled as if he had been saved.
"Your daughter is also a new student at Hogwarts? Didn't the Hogwarts professors tell you the basics? All right. Excuse me, is there anything you can do to help? β
Sephiroth understands that every Muggle wizard should theoretically be accompanied by a professor when they first come to Diagon Alley. If the professor is too busy, at least a student from the fifth grade or higher will replace him.
"Thank you so much! My daughter, Hermione, is a new student who will be entering this year. A professor was supposed to bring her, but we saw that the professor was too busy, so we offered to bring the child ourselves. I thought it should be similar to other places, but there are no pounds here! β
Seeing that Sephiroth and Draco both appeared to be kind, Madame Granger plucked up the courage to come over.
The wizard's presence was the first time they had entered their shijie, and she almost fainted with joy when she learned that her daughter, Hermione, was going to become a witch. The wizard's Shijie, the whole family except Hermione, is the one she is most interested in, but unfortunately she didn't receive the admission letter from Hogwarts that year, which makes her quite regretful.
