In the end, the little witch's plan to pick up the leak failed.

But it wasn't all for nothing, at least there were more than a dozen books on magic theory and spells added to the handbag.

If you eat them thoroughly, you can make the girl's foundation more solid.

Although she didn't find a valuable ancient book, she couldn't hide the smile on Hermione's face when she came out of the store.

"Second Grade Transfiguration"

Author: Ainias S. A. Scamander

Editor/Proofreader: Hermione M. J. Granger

She never imagined that her name would be on the cover.

Even if it's not in the author's column, it's enough to make the girl who has been with the book all year round cheer.

It's fabulous!

ヾ(^Д^*)/

Hermione lowered her head, basking in the joy of being on the cover.

But in Diagon Alley, where the stalls are not very standardized, it is not a good idea to walk with a stuffy head.

"Yikes!"

"Bang dang!"

The girl hurriedly picked up the cage that had fallen to the ground, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the barn owl inside was motionless.

The girl was frightened and looked behind her for help.

"It's fine."

Ani magically lowered the owl back into the bar and reinserted the fallen feathers back into place.

"It's just a model, don't worry."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say something when she heard a "squeak" as the old wooden door was pushed open from the inside.

An emaciated wizard leaned out of it and looked at Hermione, who was still holding her hand in the cage, and Ani beside her.

"Kids, what's going on?"

Hermione subconsciously took a step back and grabbed Aini's sleeve.

The wizard's appearance was not vicious, and although the hooked nose with a large arc made him a little sinister, it was not enough to scare the girl.

But if it is paired with two big round eyes, but they are yellow, but there is a small black spot in the middle of the eyes......

If he was an employee of a Muggle haunted house, the boss would probably have to pay a lot more for medical expenses.

But while knocking over the cage was an accident, it was also a stop in Aini's plans.

"Mr. Orr, we want to buy an owl."

Aini pulled the girl for a moment, "I remember you don't have your own owl yet, so I just came to choose one today, and I thought it was a gift for the editor." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Aini. Sorry, it's too bright outside for me to see clearly. ”

As he spoke, Orr simply closed his eyes and motioned for them to come in.

"Come on, you can choose any owl inside, but remember to close the door when you come in."

Following the witch's back, he greeted the girl, and Ani walked towards the store.

"Come in, Mr. Orr is actually a very nice man."

Hermione looked around, and like most of the shops in Diagon Alley, it looked very old.

Ahem, to be exact, a little shabby.

Even in the bright sun, it looks a little cloudy.

After entering the door, the feeling of lack of light is even more obvious.

The room was so dark that I could barely make out the species of owl in the cage.

"Pick whatever you want, since it's someone brought by Aini, you can take it directly if you like it."

The little witch was startled by the voice behind her, and it turned out that Orr had been standing aside when she entered the door.

The light was too dim for she didn't notice.

"Thank you, Mr. Orr, can you open the curtains a little? I can't see it clearly. ”

Hermione was sure her eyesight was normal, but the shop was so dark that she couldn't even tell the color of the owl's coat.

"Of course, if you have guests, you should be brighter."

The wizard pulled the curtain open a slit, and it was clear that there was not much sunlight penetrating, but it made the store look a lot brighter.

Hermione secretly complained in her heart, your store is used to remind customers how precious light is!

"But please be a little faster."

Orr looked at the somewhat restless owls and urged, "These little ones don't like bright lights. ”

"Okay. I'll do it as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, the girl remembered what had been in the book.

Most owls have strong night vision, but when the light reaches a certain intensity, they will not be able to see clearly, just like a human being in the dark.

Although owls in the wizarding world are more resistant to bright light, it is almost 11 o'clock now, and too strong light can still make them uncomfortable.

With the added light, rows of owl cages appeared in Hermione's field of vision.

On her left hand side is a small chirping owl, which looks very cute.

But Hermione's hope for the owl, in addition to delivering letters, is to go to the bookstore at any time to help her bring back food for thought.

Looking at the size of the horned owl, and then comparing the tome in her mind, the girl still decided to pick a larger one.

The girls looked over one by one, the gray forest owl, the warehouse owl, and the Wulin owl......

Eventually, Hermione swayed between the two owls, and turned her eyes back to Aini for help.

The finalist is a large eagle, which is very suitable for the needs of girls' air transport aircraft.

The other is a snowy owl with the same style as his friend Harry, which is only slightly smaller than the eagle owl, and it is not impossible to consider if you count the appearance plus points.

"If you want to use them to deliver letters during the summer holidays, I suggest you choose the Eagle Owl."

Ani pointed to the big man on the side, and from Hermione's eyes, she could tell that what the girl wanted was not a pet that could be petted, but a practical tool.

"If you live in a Muggle world, it's better to be more secretive at night, and that will make the snow owl uncomfortable."

Aini nodded the little head of the snow owl, and after listening to what he had just said, the guy was a little unconvinced.

"While most owls are diurnal, few people are concerned that snowy owls are one of the few diurnal owls and can be uncomfortable with their nocturnal activities."

Aini talked eloquently, talking about the habits of animals, and his family learning is right.

"Okay, then I'll choose this one."

The girl picked up the cage and asked Orr, "Sir, what is its name?" ”

"You'd better give it a name yourself, so that the owl can adapt to the new life more quickly."

"Thank you, Mr. Orr."

The little witch thanked the shopkeeper for his advice and lifted the cage up.

One person and one eagle looked at each other, "Salin, I'll take you home in a while." ”

Although it is positioned as a tool eagle, it can be used as a girl's first magic pet, and the little girl is still very precious about it.

Since the belongings for the start of school were not yet fully stocked, Hermione temporarily put Saline in Aini's pocket, which was much better than the one in her own handbag.

"Mr. Orr, how much does this eagle cost?"

The wizard waved his hand, "No, it's just a greeting gift." ”

"Hey, don't steal the gift with me." Aini pulled out 10 Galleons and placed them on the countertop, leading Hermione outside.

"I'll take her for something else first, goodbye, Orr."

"Goodbye, Mr. Orr."

After spending some time in the shop, the girl felt like she had never longed for the sun as much as she did now.

But after leaving the owl shop, Hermione only felt the glare of the sun.

Aini looked at Hermione's reaction and sighed in her heart, so when the outside world is full of sunshine, it's best not to hide yourself in a dark corner.

Otherwise, if you stay in the dark for a long time, maybe the beauty you once pursued will become a source of discomfort.
