Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ordinary Shopping

In the evening, when the family sat around the table, Wattel looked at the abundant food in front of him and said, "Hey, is there anything good about today?" So hearty? Sini looked at Espurna with a smile and said, "Espuna, you come." Espurna looked at Wattle and handed him the admission letter in her hand and said, "Brother, I have been admitted to the Epst Damon School of Magic!" Wattle looked at the acceptance letter and nodded, "Naturally." ”

Espena asked curiously, "Brother, which school did you graduate from?" Wattle didn't even think about it, "Capayru School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." ”

At this time, Oripulf looked at everyone and said, "In order to celebrate Epuna's admission, let's go shopping together on Disco Avenue tomorrow and prepare things for Espurna to enter the school." ”

Labre took a bite of the steak and said, "By the way, Espuna, did you say what you need to bring?" School uniforms, textbooks, flying broomsticks? ”

Espurna shook her head and said, "The letter says that the school will distribute the books and other items needed for teaching. Hearing this, Signi asked, "What does that need?" ”

Espena flipped the letter over and looked at the attachment and said, "It says a crucible, a pet, a flying pet or a flying broomstick, a notebook...... Wait a minute. Labre laughed and said, "It's really needed." ”

The next morning, Oripurf gathered everyone in front of a wooden gate. It is a newly built gate with a turntable and pointer on the door, and the turntable has the names of various places on it. "To prevent being followed, I built this door with Wattle to open up to the place on the turntable. When Syney heard this, he said excitedly, "Can you get out safely?" Wattle explained with a smile: "This door is connected to abandoned houses, so even if others open the door, they will see abandoned houses." ”

"Let's talk about it later, let's go shopping first." With that, Orepelf turned the turntable and pointed the pointer to the normal area to Disco Street. I heard a bang, and the door emitted a white light. Orepulf opened the door and Disco Avenue immediately came into view.

It's still the same cobbled street, which zigzags forward until it's out of sight.

But it's obviously a lot less crowded than the last time I came, and the streets will inevitably look deserted.

Espurna looked back at the door, a dilapidated hut in the middle of an alley, with holes in the windows and walls.

Espurna said suspiciously, "There were a lot of people when I came here last time. Oripulf touched Epna's puzzled head and said, "Aspna, you won't forget what you want to buy today, will you?" Espurna nodded and said, "How could you forget?" As she spoke, Espurna pointed to the crucible shop not far away and said, "We're going to buy a crucible first." ”

They came to a crucible shop called "Hao Hao Crucible", where the crucibles were all suspended from the ceiling, and there were sturdy golden crucibles, common iron crucibles, and even some crucibles with gold patterns. When the clerk heard that he had bought a crucible for school, he recommended a sturdy golden crucible. Espena looked up and asked Cini, "Cini, what crucible do you usually use?" If it were you, which crucible would you use? Cini thought for a moment and looked around and said, "If it were me, I'd buy that mouth." As he spoke, he pointed to a black crucible in the corner with a blue agate stone decoration.

The clerk was a little surprised at first, but still brought the crucible over. Due to its placement in the corner, the cauldron was covered in dust and cobwebs, and some spiders even escaped from the middle when he put the pot down. The clerk clapped his hands and said, "You have a good eye, this is the oldest crucible in the store." Sini asked, "How much?" The clerk scratched his head and said, "Well, you can give 200 silver Galleons." ”

So they bought the crucible that Epuna needed, and before leaving, they seemed to hear the clerk say to himself, "It's strange that someone still wants this kind of garbage." ”

Then they bought a set of scales with very good ingredients for weighing the prescription, and a folding brass telescope. When they left the Astronomy Shop, Espurna checked the list again.

There was still a notepad missing, and although Oripulf had a lot of useless notepads, he still felt that Aspuna should have a notepad of his own.

So they came to a bookstore called "Flavi and Hantra". The bookshelves in the store are densely packed against each other. There are books the size of paving stones decorated with feathers, books the size of postage stamps with velvet covers, books full of strange symbols, and books with nothing in them.

Espurna searched through the stacks of books for her favorite notepads, and she pulled out two notebooks from the stacks, one with a silk cover and one black with a strange diamond-shaped dragon-like pattern on it.

Espena looked at the two books with some hesitation, and just as she was about to make a decision for her family, she suddenly overheard Oripurfu talking to the bookstore clerk.

"Why are so few people buying books lately? Isn't it almost the beginning of the school year? The clerk complained, "It's not because of the search team that the magicians are being arrested on the street." Everyone is afraid to go out. Oripulf said, "That's the case, I don't know what happened to the Ministry of Magic?" ”

The clerk cautiously leaned over and said, "I heard that a Minister of Magic named Hermione was voted to remove her, and a man named Matthews took her over. This incident caused an uproar in all the magical areas of the West, and the search parties became even more unscrupulous. Oripulf asked suspiciously, "Is this the case in all the magical regions of the West?" ”

The clerk nodded helplessly and said, "Indeed, this kind of bloodline theory in the western magical region was originally everywhere, but now it is like a plague spreading everywhere, Muggles, half-bloods, pure-bloods ......"

"Have you picked it out?" Suddenly, a hand slapped Aspina. Espurna was startled, and the silk notepad in her hand fell to the ground. Espurna looked back and saw that it was Sini, and Espurna looked at the book in her hand and nodded, "Well, this is it." Espurna turned to look at the clerk, who was leisurely reading the newspaper at the front desk.

After the group left the bookstore, Espurna looked at the letter in her hand and said, "Okay, it's all bought." Orepurf looked around at the family and said, "Then let's go back." Espurna nodded and said, "Okay." Grandfather. ”

It was noon but the street was deserted, and Cinny pulled Espurna and Labre in front, while Oripulf and Wattle walked behind, and Espurna wondered why she was walking so fast.

At this time, Espurna seemed to hear what Oripurford and Wattel were saying, but she could only vaguely hear the words: unexpected, tail, trouble, these words.

As he walked into the alley, Oripulf said, "Go back first, and we'll come later." Signi said with a serious expression: "Hurry up." Wattle nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”

Thus Signi, Labre, and Espurna returned to the Manor of Sandrepda. Espurna hesitantly looked at the closed door, only to hear a bang, and the hands of the turntable on the door bounced back to the normal area. Espurna took Rasini's hand and said, "Grandpa and brother, they? Sini squatted down and touched Aspna's head and said, "They're fine, they just have to deal with some problems, and they'll be back soon." Espuna, shall we go and sort out the new things together? ”

Espurna nodded and said, "Okay." But she still looked at the door hesitantly.
