Diggory's old house is not far from Diagon Alley, and on the last day of the holiday, Field, Cedric, and Rolf take a Hogwarts list of things to use when they go to the school of witchcraft and wizardry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Diagon Alley is as lively as ever, with the windows of the Quidditch boutique boutiques crowded with children chattering about something.

"It's the Firebolt – the latest broomstick, seven of which the Irish International Team has just ordered, which are supposed to be used in next year's World Cup, and in the summer, the biggest single advertising revenue for Magic TV comes from Firebolts. Cedric saw Field looking around and explained.

"Quidditch World Cup!Oh my God, where is next year's tournament?" exclaimed Rolf.

"In England, the Ministry of Magic has started to prepare in advance, as Dad told me, and Magic Television has been granted the rights to broadcast and relay. Cedric replied.

"The right to broadcast is certain, and I can't think of anyone else competing for this right other than Magic TV. "Field secretly said, 'It's good to have a monopoly.'"

Just as the three of them were talking nonsense, a call came out in front of the window of the Quidditch boutique store.

"Cedric - hey, here - " turned out to be a good friend of Seid's in the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.

"Field, Rolf - go buy your own books, we'll meet at the Leaky Cauldron later. After Said's words, without waiting for Field and the others to answer, he ran straight over there.

"Seider hasn't had time to hang out with his friends this holiday, and now he's finally found an opportunity. ”

Now that Syd is gone, Field and Rolf are not going to waste any more time, they have a clear goal, which is the Blotted bookstore.

"Hello!" Field called out to the bookstore, wondering why there was no clerk at the door.

"Wait a minute, we're in some trouble here. Damn it. There was an anxious voice in the shop, and Field could faintly hear a moan.

Rolf next to him also seemed to hear someone moaning, and the two looked at each other, then drew their wands in tacit agreement, and cautiously walked into the store.

"Hell-Skobysteen, hurry up and take care of the wounds, we'll just hold on for another day, Hogwarts will start school tomorrow, and I'll throw all these hell books in the basement. A grumpy voice came.

"Oh, manager, remember you have to give me more bonuses this month, look at my two hands, I don't know how many times they have been bitten. Another voice grumbled.

While the two of them were talking, one of them strode in and pointed his wand at the two inside.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Kemi, the owner of the Blotted bookstore, felt like he was going crazy, and he had been tormented by those monster books all month of August.

Yes, "The Monster Book of the Monsters", Kemi swears, such a book is not a good read for wizards at all.

As long as these yokai books are locked together, they will engage in a furious wrestling race, biting and fighting with belligerence, and broken pages flying everywhere.

And every time a student comes to buy a book, Kemi and the clerk have to put on gloves, grab one from the cage, and sell it to the students, and unfortunately, if you don't care enough, these damn books will bite you hard in your hand.

"If I had known that the Hogwarts bastard had designated this book as a textbook, I would have kicked him in the ass. Kemi himself can't remember how many times he cursed the professor of the Magical Creature Protection class throughout August.

"Kemi, what are you doing?" Field looked curiously at the store, where a young clerk was stepping on a strange magic book with a yellow cover and tying it up with a rope, while Kemi, the owner on one side, was holding a rope and scissors.

"Who are you?" Kemi shouted without thinking in the face of the two Fields who suddenly broke in. He didn't care about the wands they were holding.

"Hey, Kemi, it's me, Field. Field hurriedly motioned for Rolf to put his wand away.

"Field? Kemi didn't recognize Field at once.

"Two years ago, I found The Invisibility Book of Invisibility and You Have Nowhere to Hide - Tracking in the warehouse of your bookstore, remember?"

"Oh - remember, the Diggory kids, I haven't seen them for more than two years, and I'm really almost unrecognizable. Kemi looked at Field's face and suddenly remembered the studious brunette boy he had been two years ago.

"Field, you're in third grade, right? What classes did you take?" asked Kemi.

"I chose Ancient Magic and Magical Creature Protection Class," Field replied.

"Oh my god - that's another copy of the Yokai Book of Yokai, I hate it. Kemi cupped his forehead in pain and beckoned the clerk to take a tightly bound leather book.

"One book is not enough, Rolf also has to take a magical creature protection class. Field said.

The clerk took out another copy and handed it to Rolf, who held the Book of Monsters, feeling its slight struggle and not knowing what to say.

There are many strange books in the wizarding world, and even many books on the dark arts come with strong curses. But this "Yokai Book" is special, they are more like creatures.

"I don't know what boring wizard came up with such a book. ”

"You don't know, my hand was bitten five times by these books just before you came this morning. Kemi said.

"Didn't you tie them all up, and how could you still be bitten?" asked Rolf, shaking the rope that bound the book.

"I've always kept these books in a cage before, and I've been bitten every time, but this morning a little girl with messy hair gave me the idea, so we were tying up these books just now, hey, why didn't this little girl come sooner, so that I wouldn't have been bitten for so many days. Kemi said, looking at his wounded hands.

Field and Rolf looked at each other tacitly, and they were almost certain that the girl was Hermione.

"When did she come to buy the books?" asked Field.

"Half an hour ago, with a tall, red-haired boy, we started tying up the books as soon as she left. Kemi said.

While talking, the clerk had already helped Field and Rolf find the books they were going to use for the school year, and after packing up their things, Field and Rolf went out of the bookstore to find Hermione.

"Field, I'm going to buy a robe, you go to Hermione first, how about we meet at Florin's cold drink shop?" Rolf said.

"Okay, that's it. ”

Field has actually grown a lot taller this year, but his robes, Grandma Nice has already bought for him in Platinum Lane, France, and after saying goodbye, Field began to search Diagon Alley for Hermione and Ron's whereabouts.
