Chapter 43: Fighting Battles

The first day at the Leaky Cauldron went by so uneventfully that there was nothing else to say except a few plans.

The next morning, after eating the famous test noodle cake at the Leaky Cauldron Bar, Ike heads to the scrap shop in Diagon Alley.

The scrap shop has a lot of miscellaneous things, old books, old toys, old crucibles, old flying brooms, it can be called a department store. Of course, it's still mainly old books.

Last year, Ike had heard Roger say that good things might be found in the scrap shop, and that some poor pure-blood families would sell their collections to subsidize the family, and some of these sold things went into Tumbledown Alley, some went to Gringotts, and some were taken away by other purebloods, and the rest were basically in the scrap shop.

The number is small, and it is extremely difficult to find from thousands of bookshelves, but it is still promising.

In this regard, Ike's mentality is still very good, it is naturally worth being happy to find it, and it doesn't matter if you can't find it, you should read a book to pass the time.

Old Mike, the owner of the scrap shop, doesn't care about the little wizards reading books in the shop, as long as you give him a Xike, you can read it for as long as you want. It's even better if you leave with a little second-hand.

After a day in the scrap shop, Ike found nothing. Many of them are Hogwarts textbooks, complete and incomplete, with hundreds, or even more of each, mostly left in the dust on the shelves.

Old things such as crucibles are also, most of them are bad, and even if they are good, they are just barely usable. Ike found a pocket watch, seventy percent new, but unfortunately it can't be timed at all, every time it is opened, it is a new time, the last time is seven twenty, and when it is closed and then opened, it is half past twelve, there is no pattern at all.

"There's a long way to go." He asked for a piece of baked bread from old Tom, and ate it with water, and went to bed.

For the next few days, Ike spent all his time in the scrap shop, and the treasure hunt was as expected, and there were no pure-blood treasured magic books at all, but many of them were found.

Spit on the spirit of the wizarding world, Ike relentlessly bought a large tub of vanilla strawberry ice cream from Florin's cold drink shop, and held it in his arms and ate it as he walked.

It's a Diagon Alley scene, after all, almost everyone only asks for a small box, and Ike seems to have just taken the keg of ice cream from the store.

"Oh my God! Ike! Ike was holding a spoon when he suddenly heard someone calling out to him, and he looked at Hermione.

The little witch trotted over and stared at the ice cream bucket in Ike's arms, pointing at the bucket with her right hand and at the bucket in surprise.

"If you eat ice cream like this, you'll have a bad stomach!"

"Good afternoon, Hermione." Ike dug another piece and put it in his mouth, "Would you like some?" You need to find a spoon though, and I only have this one. ”

"Kid, I think it's better for you to eat less." An adult stroked Hermione's hair and held out his right hand to Ike, "You can call me Mr. Granger, I'm Hermione's father." ”

"I'm Hermione's mom." Another lady also greeted with a smile.

Ike put the spoon in the ice cream bucket, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the bucket naturally floated aside. Rubbing his right hand against his robe, he shook hands with Mr. Granger, "Ike Stred, Hermione's friend." ”

"Hello, Mr. Stredder." Mr. Granger smiled, "At home, Hermione mentioned you and said you were a very smart child. ”

"Not as smart as Hermione, she's the first in our grade." Ike blinked and smiled back.

"Hahaha...... This is what makes Hermione proudest about and I never worry about her studies. Mr. Granger was delighted and crumpled Hermione's hair.

"Daddy!" Hermione wrinkled her nose and dodged Mr. Granger's big hand, "Don't mess with my hair. ”

"Okay, okay, little Hermione." Mr. Granger rubbed it again in revenge, and then withdrew his hand.

Ike looked at the warm scene in front of him, a smile on his face, and just watched quietly. Hermione, as if sensing something, pulled Mr. Granger's clothes and asked, "Ike, have you finished buying all your things?" ”

"I'm done." Ike nodded, "I've been living at the Leaky Cauldron for a few days, and I've already bought all my stuff. ”

"That's right." Hermione thought for a moment, then said, "I still have Professor Lockhart's books that I haven't bought, why don't you go with me, I heard that there is a signing today!" ”

"Okay." Ike smiled and nodded, his fingers moving to hold the ice cream bucket floating over. He handed it to Hermione and said, "You really don't want a little?" ”

"No, it's not good for your teeth." Hermione shook her head, glanced at the Grangers, and whispered, "My parents are dentists and won't let me eat these things." ”

"It's scary! If you don't let me eat these things, you might as well kill me. Ike looked scared at the right time, prompting Hermione to giggle.

The conversation between the two was heard by the Grangers, who glanced at each other, showing a hint of helplessness, and followed the two of them in the direction of the Blotted bookstore.

Today's Blotted bookstore is very lively, there is a big Lockhart sign at the door, the door is crowded with people, and there is a long way outside. In addition to the young wizards of Hogwarts, there are also a large number of middle-aged witches. They all dressed up and smiled vaguely, and looked into the bookstore with expectant eyes, as if they could see Lockhart with a charming smile inside through the crowd.

Ike looked at the crowded scene in front of him and couldn't help but have a headache. Whether it was in the past or now, the most impatient thing for him is to queue up, and to avoid crowded places. Hermione was excited, she had looked up Lockhart's information since she received the book list for the new semester, and was inevitably attracted by this perfect looking wizard, and was about to rush into the crowd after saying hello to Ike.

Seeing this, Ike hurriedly grabbed him: "Are you crazy?" So many people, how dangerous! ”

Hermione looked at Ike and then at the swarming witches, hesitant. Just as he was about to say something, suddenly there was a commotion inside, the crowd dodged, and two men scuffled and came out of it, and they didn't know who was stirred, their bodies were crooked, and both of them fell to the ground.

Ekra took Hermione's hand and squeezed in while the people were dodging, just in time to see the other three scuffling out. One has black hair, one has red hair, and one has light blonde hair. It was obvious that the black-haired and red-haired were in a group, and they were beating the light blonde hair. The light blonde hair is not good at stubble, and it is only slightly inferior to one against two.

"Harry! Ron! Hermione saw the acquaintance and pulled Ike to rush over to help. Ike was pulled and stumbled and ran after him.

But before they could rush over, the two were stopped by a witch: "It's too dangerous, don't go over." Fred! George! Pull them away! ”

The twins grimaced at Hermione, giggling but not passing, which provoked Molly Weasley to keep urging the two, and the scene became even more chaotic for a while.

Ike watched the battle between the Malfoys and the Weasleys while listening to Mrs. Weasley's Hedong lion roar and eating ice cream one bite at a time.

The boxing match was very exciting, Lucius Malfoy's hook was strong and powerful, and Arthur Weasley's headbutt was also fierce, which reminded Ike of Zidane's one. The two have obviously fought many times, and they know each other's boxing very well, and they can block a killer move. I'll grab your wrist with your uppercut, and I'll slap your head hammer with one palm, and then twist it together again.

The junior group was not as exciting, but it was obvious that Draco Malfoy's punches were more powerful, and there were still backs and forths with one-to-two. Harry and Ron are also really a little weak, neither in terms of strength nor speed, they can't compare to Malfoy, that is, there are more people, and they are only slightly overpowered. If you count the two of them, there are more scars on their bodies than Malfoy's.

"Draco!" Just two shouts, two little fat men squeezed out of the crowd, it was Clark and Goyle. The addition of the heavyweights changed the tide of the fight, with Harry and Ron unable to fight back, and Malfoy Jr. finally showed off his family grappling skills, with uppercuts in the style of old Malfoy, but in the blink of an eye, Harry and Ron were blinded.

"Oh my God! Go help them! Hermione shouted at Ike, who was eating ice cream, as she rushed away.

Ike took another bite, stretched out his hand to the tall figure outside the crowd, and said, "I shouldn't need my help, Hermione......"

"Spread out! Gentlemen! Disperse! Hagrid easily made his way through the crowd, easily separating Malfoy Sr. from Mr. Weasley, and Fred and George finally ran over to stop the junior race.

"Hehe......" Malfoy Sr. broke away from Hagrid's hand that was holding his arm, beckoning Draco to come over. Tidying up his clothes, picking up the cane and scattered books on the ground, he showed that haughty expression again, and if its eyes were not blue, it would be even better.

Mr. Weasley patted Hagrid's hand lightly, and Mrs. Molly and the rest of the Weasley family gathered around to check on Mr. Weasley's injuries.

Old Malfoy, with a cane in one hand and a basic old book in the other, walked over to Mr. Weasley. Hagrid tried to stop him, but was stopped by Mr. Weasley.

"Heh......" Old Malfoy glanced contemptuously at the Weasleys present, and smashed the old book in his hand into the arms of the timid Ginny, "Little girl, take your book!" It's the best your dad can give you! ”

Ginny was stumbled, grabbed the book in a hurry, and her body involuntarily stepped back, Hermione hurriedly supported Ginny, which didn't let her fall. Mr. Weasley was about to rush forward, but Hagrid stopped him, and he could only watch the Malfoys leave as if they had won.

"You shouldn't pay attention to him, Arthur." Hagrid reached out to smooth out Mr. Weasley's robes, "This guy is terrible, their whole family is, everyone knows that what the Malfoys say is not worth listening to, their blood is all bad, let's go, let's leave." ”

"That guy almost knocked Ginny down!" Mr. Weasley was furious, but Hagrid's strength was too great to break free, and he was pulled away.

The others followed, Molliv counting the twins, Hermione comforting Ginny, and Harry and Ron rubbing their injuries to review what had not been done. The Granger couple were frightened, it was the first time they had seen a wizard fight, as if it were a normal person.

Ike followed behind as he ate ice cream, and in a moment he was already halfway down.

Sure enough, this is what a true wizard should see, fists to the flesh is king, and Avada or something is heretical.
