237. Yokai Book of Yokai
Hermione had sent him a large number of books, as well as her essay on the history of magic, and when she saw her paper, McGoth remembered that he was going to revise it, but he had forgotten about it because of the attack.
After reading Hermione's paper in detail, I found that she added some records of the burning of 'witches' in France, which vividly expressed the ignorance and ignorance of ordinary people in that era, and finally focused on comparing ordinary people today.
"I don't think it's just a magical paper, it's not just a real-world paper."
Then, just as he was thinking about how to revise his thesis, he received a list of books from Hogwarts for the next semester.
"Yokai books of youkai?" Looking at the name of the last book on the list, McGoth remembered that Hagrid would be the professor of conservation of magical creatures this semester.
"I seem to remember that this book doesn't seem to be like any other book. Like, it's going to bite, right? ”
In the afternoon, he invited his parents to accompany him to Diagon Alley to buy books on the book list, and unlike his father, who was slightly excited, his mother seemed a little anxious.
"What's the matter, Mom, don't go if you don't like that." Magos looked at his mother and said.
"No," Mrs. Will said softly to McGoss, seeing that her husband had not noticed,
"I'm a little worried about your father, he seems to have been a little too excited about magic lately, and he canceled a big meeting two days ago just to study the spinning tops you gave us. I'm afraid he'll buy some magic items in that magic alley when the time comes. ”
McGoth was also a little worried about his father's situation, but he could understand it, after all, his mental age was also in his 30s, and he still didn't face magic like a real child.
"I think Daddy, he knows what he's doing."
"I hope so." Mrs. Will sighed.
The driver then dropped them off next to the bookstore, where McGoth took his parents by the hand and walked into the Leaky Cauldron.
"I remember you didn't use a spell on us to see this bar?"
"That's because you're all here for the first time, and you can see it later just by holding your hand."
"Can we come alone, then?" Mr. Will asked with interest.
"Yes, but it's a bit of a hassle, I need a prop that can store spells, and then I'll cast a Transfiguration Charm in it, and you can see the bar just by holding it."
In the face of his wife's worried eyes, Mr. Will first nodded thoughtfully, and then patted his wife's hand with a smile.
"Rest assured, I'm a little more curious, but it's just curiosity."
"Mr. Will, and your parents, it's a pleasure to see you again." Tom, the owner of the bar, shouted when he saw McGoss.
"We're glad to meet you, Mr. Tom." Mr. Will replied with a smile, and then he noticed the wanted notice posted to the side, on which was a middle-aged man with a hideous look roaring, and he was a little surprised by the moving pictures that he had read in every issue of the Daily Prophet, mainly noticing the face of the middle-aged man.
"He's the first prisoner to escape from Azkaban, so if you see him, it's best to pretend you don't see him or don't know him." Tom followed his gaze and saw the wanted notice and said casually.
"Thank you for the reminder."
Passing through the moving brick walls, the noise of the rush hits you, and the alleys are filled with wizards coming and going. The sound of selling, buying, bargaining, inquiry, and surprise are endless.
"There are so many wizards." Although it was not the first time he had seen wizards on the streets, Mr. Will couldn't help but sigh.
"Magos, remember to take me to buy some magic skincare products." Mrs. Will would have forgotten to worry about her husband, and hastened to remind her son.
"Don't worry, Mom." McGoth smiled and nodded,
"Accompany me to buy everything I need first." With that, he led his parents to the nearest material store.
Due to the large number of people, McGoth shouted for a while, and no one agreed, so he had to leave first, preparing to go first and prepare the required textbooks.
I finally squeezed to the bookstore with my parents and was jumped by the scene inside.
Gone are the books that used to be the size of floor tiles and gold-embossed collector's edition spell books in the bookstore windows, replaced by a large iron cage containing about a hundred copies of the Yokai Book of the Yokai. The books were now locked together, in a furious wrestling contest, with belligerent bites and fights, and broken pages flying everywhere.
"What is this?" Mrs. Will looked at this scene with some suspicion that she had gone in the wrong place.
An employee noticed that he handed over the books that the customer needed next to him and walked over.
"Of course it's a book."
"Books?" Mr. and Mrs. Will suddenly felt like they were here for the first time.
"A living book?"
"Of course, you're from Hogwarts? Come buy a book? The clerk didn't know how to explain it to people who didn't know magic, so he asked Magos.
"Yes." Magos nodded, and the clerk took a deep breath. He took out his pocket and put on a pair of thick gloves, picked up a thick, cratered cane, and walked to the iron cage containing the "Yokai Book of Yokai".
Looking at the clerk's actions, McGoth couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his parents watched his actions a little nervously.
"I can't remember how many times I've been bitten by them, okay, sir, please stay away."
The Will family obediently took a few steps back.
The clerk waved his cane, and the monster books in the iron cage also stopped tearing and looked at his cane.
When it was too late, the clerk jerked his cane into the iron cage, and the monster book in the iron cage boiled instantly, only to see that the broken pages almost completely enveloped the iron cage, and the clerk's right arm trembled, and he suddenly put his left hand into the iron cage. McGoth saw a few monster books quickly turn around and bite over, and the clerk didn't care about biting his monster books, after grabbing a monster book, he pulled out his left hand vigorously, and then slowly pulled out his right arm and cane, and it was obvious that there were more scars on the gloves and cane.
The clerk threw away his cane, slammed the monster book shut, and then clasped it and handed it to McGoss.
Mr. and Mrs. Will nervously looked at the monster book that was still shaking, and wanted to ask McGoth not to take it, but they didn't understand, so they had to watch him slowly take the monster book.
"I don't want to see these books again, never! It's a lot of fun! Two of them have been bitten in half today, and I'm going to restore them with a recovery charm, and then I'll watch them fight back and forth. ”
