Chapter 3 Shopping Turmoil

"Where else do you want to go? I think my son is going to need a cool robe! Disgustedly avoiding a potions stall full of rotten eggs and rotten leaves, Sandrine asked.

Without waiting for Xiwen to respond, she pulled him to the direction of the ready-to-wear store.

Xiwen was helplessly dragged by his mother to the door of the ready-to-wear store. The store looks much more upscale than the other lesser-known Diagon Alley shops, with the new "Twilfitt" door signs, the bright lobby and the extravagant robes hanging from the walls.

Sandrine was clearly a long-time patron of the shop, and she easily dragged Shivin into the hall, greeted the shopkeeper, and then circled the hall, occasionally commenting on the clothes hanging on the wall. Xiwen seriously suspected that she was trying to take the opportunity to buy clothes for her son, and buy one for herself.

"Sandrine?" Just as Sandrine was explaining the design of the dress in front of her, a witch with blond hair, thick bones, and a green robe suddenly walked over.

Sandrine glanced up and replied faintly, "What a coincidence, Irma." ”

"Anyway, we've known each other for a long time, although I've had a lot less contact since I married into the Black family, but it's not so unfamiliar." Irma said with a smile, and she emphasized her tone when she talked about marrying into the Black family, as if it was something remarkable.

"Mommy, who are they?" A little girl with blonde braids asked, putting her arm around Irma.

"Come, Walburga, this is Aunt Sandrine. This must be your and Leo's child, I remember it's called Sylvie, right? Irma introduced enthusiastically.

"My name is Xiwen, Aunt Irma." Xiwen replied politely.

Irma said: "It turned out to be Xiwen, this is my daughter Walburga Black, you should be classmates in the future." We, the Black family and the Rozier family, as part of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clans, should take care of each other, Walburga, remember to take good care of this Rozier family friend when we get to school, okay? ”

Sandrine frowned and said, "I'm sorry, Irma. We had to go beforehand. ”

Then she walked out of the store with Xiwen without looking back.

……

……

Walking on the road, Xiwen asked suspiciously, "Mom, ...... you and Aunt Irma?" ”

Sandrine didn't mind telling some of the old stories, and said to Shevan, "Irma Crabbe Black, the only daughter of our generation of Crabbes, she used to be my henchman. ”

Xiwen was slightly stunned, and then remembered that his mother was also a female genius from the so-called noble Selwyn family.

Later, I don't know how she married into the Black family. Since then, she has abandoned her Crabbe identity and regarded herself as a member of the Black family, even to me. Sandrine continued, "Although I don't want to admit it, the Black family is indeed at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period now, and they already vaguely consider themselves the first clan of the twenty-eight holy clans. ”

"Our Rozier family shouldn't be worse than the Black family, right?" Xiwen asked.

"This is true when it comes only to possessions and heritage." Sandrine sighed and said. "But the Rozier family is nowhere near as populous as the Black family, and since your father was killed, you are the only male in the new generation of the Rozier family."

"Moreover, the Rozier family attaches equal importance to the British and French parts, and in the United Kingdom it is much inferior to a family like Blake, which is rooted in England." With that, Sandrine gritted her teeth in hatred. "In addition, your Aunt Vader was tricked by Grindelwald and invested most of her property in the Witch Party."

Sandrine suddenly stopped, looked at Xiwen seriously, and said, "Xiwen, you are now the hope of the entire Rozier family. So you have to reach enough heights in adulthood to take over the property from the Efara Nation and stop letting Vader squander it so that Rozier's glory will never fade! ”

Since Xiwen came to this world, he has long regarded himself as a member of this family. So he nodded seriously and replied, "I will, Mom." ”

Sandrine and Shevin looked at each other for a second, then burst out laughing. "Okay, don't be so serious! All you have to do is study hard at Hogwarts. A magical riot as a baby can defeat a dark wizard, and it's hard for me to imagine a genius little wizard like you becoming an ordinary person in the future. ”

Xiwen could only laugh wryly, "It's not that exaggerated." ”

"Oops!" Sandrine suddenly screamed, startling Sivan. "Patronizing me angry, I didn't buy you clothes!"

Xiwen: "......"

……

After all, Sandrine bought a dress for Xiwen, which she bought at the newly opened store of the Wizard Costume Store of the Fengya brand. Xiwen repeatedly stated that he wanted to wear school uniforms at school, and after two years, he couldn't wear the dresses when he grew taller, so he didn't buy four or five sets directly.

Sandrine fell in love with a blue plain dress from the Wizard Costume Store of the Elegance brand, and while she asked for a custom pattern, the shopkeeper directed the floating needlework to sew a blue rose on the left breast of the dress, the coat of arms of the Rozier family. Later, he paired Xiwen with a black suede top hat with a hat belt, and then reluctantly left.

"The wand is here, the dress is there, and the textbook is for Millie to take home...... Oh, and a pet too! Sandrine clapped her palms and said. Toad, owl or cat, which do you want? ”

Xiwen thought about it for a moment, and felt that it was impossible for him to accept raising a wet and slimy toad; Owls are convenient for sending letters, but there are many public owls, and there are several at home, so there is not much interest; And a kitten that can be cuddled in the bedroom at any time is obviously more suitable for his needs, so he quickly made a decision.

"I think I need a cat!"

……

The Magical Beasts Store (Magical Menagerie) is a shop located on the south side of Diagon Alley. It's very crowded, and the walls are densely covered with cages. In the store, the female clerk is patiently introducing Xiwen to the various colors and breeds of cats on the wall.

Xiwen stared at a silver-white striped kitten that looked like a British short silver gradient and asked, "What breed of cat is this?" ”

The clerk took a look at it and said uncertainly: "This is a little guy picked up by an old wizard in the wild, and the boss judged that it is a kitten crossed between a silver cat and a white cat." But it's been a month since it came, and it hasn't opened its eyes yet. ”

Xiwen reached out and touched the kitten's head, deciding that it was it.

"I'm going to have this one!"

The clerk was happy, and it was obvious that she didn't know what to do with the cat that didn't open its eyes.

"Wait." Sandrine said. "Animals of unknown origin may not be safe, are you sure, son?"

"I'm sure! I think it has something to do with me. Xiwen said with a smile, he had just vaguely felt the magic in the kitten's body, and after touching the cat's head, he was sure that the magic it possessed was no less than that of an adult cat. He felt like he was going to earn it this time.

Sandrine, who has been pampered by her son since she was a child, didn't have much of an opinion about it, and when the clerk hesitated to say 15 sico, she threw a Galleon to her, and then left with the best cat cage and a lot of high-end cat daily necessities.

……

As soon as he got home, Xiwen ate a few bites of food and couldn't wait to start working on his new wand.

Pine, unicorn horn nerve, 14 inches. Unicorns are strictly forbidden to hunt and are scarce, and the unicorn that accompanies the unicorn throughout its life has a strong magical power during its lifetime, and its magic gradually disappears as it naturally ages.

The unicorn horn, which has died of natural aging, has lost all its magic and cannot be used to craft a wand. Therefore, only unicorns that die unexpectedly can produce such a core material.

It is usually more of a unicorn tail as the core of the staff, and the unicorn tail is usually the most stable to cast spells, and is the least likely to fluctuate or clog. Wands with unicorn tail feathers at the core are generally the least likely to yield to the dark arts. They are the most faithful of wands.

Its shortcomings may only be that it is not strong enough, but the unicorn horn is the most magical part of the unicorn's body, and its nerves as the core of the wand perfectly make up for the lack of strength.

Matsuki, on the other hand, is not resistant to any new methods and spells, which is just right for Shivin to use it to cast Kama Taj's spells that are different from the magic system of this world. Therefore, this wand deserves to be the most suitable wand for Xiwen.

As for his resistance to the use of dark arts, Xiwen didn't care at all. He was never willing to use negative emotions to cast spells, and there was no need to learn this kind of magic that would have a negative effect on him for the time being.

With his new wand, Siwen kept experimenting and reviewing the spells he had learned in his previous life, even losing track of time until he was interrupted by Sandrine.

"My dear son, do you really want to spend the last two months at home studying?"
