Chapter Ninety-Six: Diagon Alley
On September 23, 1989, Cynthia gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Ethan Crouch in St. Mungo.
Everything is going in a good direction, except, Severus.
Now at Hogwarts, as long as he doesn't have a class, he will be no more than five meters away from Cynthia.
During the meal in the hall, he deliberately switched seats with Sprout, who glanced at Cynthia with a smile before leaving.
Cynthia glanced up at Severus, who was sitting down, he was still as expressionless as ever, and when she saw Cynthia looking at him, she slightly hooked the corners of her mouth.
Days went by, and Regulus and Elsa also had a child on January 6, 1990, a lovely girl named Cassiopeia Black Cassiopeia.
On June 5, 1991, Draco received his Hogwarts acceptance letter, which made Harry covet it for a long time, until on July 31, an owl brought his one.
"Harry! Let's go shopping in Diagon Alley together! "Harry received the letter in the morning, and Draco showed up in Grimmauld Place in the afternoon.
"How about going now? I can't wait to have a wand of my own! Harry hugged the elated Draco excitedly.
"My father said he had something to do with his mother, so he asked Thea to take us there." Draco's little face flushed instantly, but he still raised his chin in a pretended composure.
"Thea!" Harry pulled Draco up to the third floor and knocked on Cynthia's door.
"Ah, Xiaolong, you're here. Cissy and Luke have already told me that we should go now, or we may run out of time. Opening the door, Cynthia was already dressed in her outer robe, looking ready to go.
"I'm going to put on my robe!" When Harry saw Cynthia ready, he ran back to his bedroom.
"Draco, good afternoon!" At this moment, Gruss, who heard the movement, poked his little head out of the room. "I want to go too, can my mother take me with me?"
"You don't have to buy a wand." Cynthia couldn't laugh or cry, obviously Diagon Alley usually goes, and she doesn't understand why she has to go there today.
Gruss didn't say anything, but as soon as he finished speaking, two more little heads stuck out. "We want to go to !! too"
O'Lane and Jemini said in unison, and then the three of them looked at Cynthia with pitiful eyes.
Why are they all in trouble today!!! Cynthia cried out in her heart. Today, Siris and Amina handed Harry and Orion to Thea, saying that they had something to go out and would come back in the evening for Harry's birthday.
Regulus and Elsa took Casiopeia to St. Mungo's for a check-up after lunch.
Cynthia looked at the five heads in front of her, thinking to herself that it was fortunate that Crouch Sr. had taken Ethan to Crouch Manor two days ago, otherwise she would have to take five children today!!
"Let's talk about it in advance, and I'll go to Diagon Alley later, no! Yes! Disorderly! Run! Want! Listen! I! Target! Speech! Cynthia said, staring at the five people.
"Understood!" O'Lane, Gruss, and Jemini cheered.
Within three minutes, they had changed their clothes and arrived in the living room.
"Draco and Orion hold me, Harry and Grujamie, you three hold Draco and Orion." Cynthia held out her hands.
"Harry! Come over here! I'm pulling you! Draco grabbed Cynthia and waved at Harry.
So, Harry pulled Draco, Draco pulled Cynthia, Cynthia pulled Orion, Oraine pulled Jemini, and Jemini pulled Gros.
The six of them have apparitions and come to Diagon Alley.
There are still a lot of people in Diagon Alley today, and many of them are young wizards who are new to the first year this year.
"Let's go to the Wizard Costume Robe Shop to help Harry and Draco customize the school uniforms, Madame Morkin has too many people in the robes shop." Cynthia sighed as she looked at the long line at the door of Lady Morkin's robes shop.
So the group walked into the Fengya brand wizard clothing store. They made school uniforms, winter cloaks, and some clothes they usually wore in the store.
The owner said he would deliver the clothes to Grimmauld Place when they were ready.
Their next stop was Ollivander's wand shop.
The three of Oraine watched as Draco and Harry got their own wands. Clothing stores they can also buy clothes, but wands, they can only watch.
Draco's wand was of hawthorn wood, and the inner core was unicorn hair, ten inches long.
Harry's wand is holly wood, phoenix feathers, eleven inches, soft and flexible. But when Harry got his hands on the wand, Ollivander began to say, "Wonderful, wonderful. ”
"Mr. Ollivander? Is there anything wrong with Harry's wand? Cynthia asked, a little nervously.
"No, no, no, it's amazing. I remember every wand I sold, it was like this, I made two wands from the two tail feathers of the same phoenix. ”
"Mr. Potter is one of them, and the other is the other. Mr. Potter was destined to use this one, and it was another wand that caused the scar on Mr. Potter's forehead. ”
"Yes, thirteen and a half inches, purple shirt, this is really amazing! Wand chooses wizard, wand chooses wizard! ”
After leaving the Ollivanders wand shop, the group went to the Blotst bookstore and bought the first-grade textbooks they needed, as well as parchment, quills, and ink.
When Cynthia takes them to buy a crucible, she meets Severus, who is shopping with a first-year student.
Severus caught a glimpse of Jemini, the long-haired black-haired of the five children. And Jemini and Gruss stared curiously at the man who gave them a special feeling.
Cynthia interrupted the three of them looking at each other, "Severus, I'm going to take them shopping." After saying that, he pulled the child and left in a hurry.
Gruss and Jemini followed Cynthia as they looked back at Severus.
"Mom, who was that man just now? Why did he keep staring at me and Jamie? It wasn't until Severus couldn't see him that Grus asked curiously.
"He? He's my colleague at Hogwarts, Head of Slytherin, and your future Potions professor, Severus Snape. ”
"He probably hasn't seen a cute kid like you, so he will stare at you." Cynthia pinched Gruss and Jemini's little faces and said with a smile.
"But...... He gave me a very familiar feeling...... It's like the familiarity we've known for years......" Gruss said with a frown.
Cynthia was stunned for a moment and said, "He is a very difficult person to get along with, so you must study potions well, otherwise you will suffer after school!" ”
