At the Ravenclaw table, Eddie looked at the owl that stopped in front of Joel with some curiosity, "What did you buy?" ”

"No, a letter was sent." Joel removed the letter from the owl's right paw, and the owl stuck its head into Joel's glass, pecked two sips of milk, flapped its wings and flew away.

Eddie wondered, who did Joel send the letter to? Isn't he an orphan?

Sergei saw the letter in Joel's hand, remembered the place he had said before, and tilted his body towards Joel, but Eddie stood between him and Joel, and he couldn't see the content of the letter at all.

"Eddie, let's switch places?" Joel notices the problem and quickly beckons to Eddie.

Eddie was confused but still gave up his place, and watched Sergei and Joel read the letter with their heads on top of each other, and he asked Alan, "When did they get along so well?" ”

Alan shook his head and picked up a piece of ham sausage and stuffed it into his mouth.

Marietta suddenly appeared, she was not afraid of the cold, she changed into a pleated skirt in the school suit, and it was obvious that her blonde hair had been carefully groomed, and she combed a ponytail at the back of her head, deliberately exposing her slender neck like a swan.

This outfit can only be called cute on 11-year-old Marietta, and it doesn't match sexiness.

"Alan?" She greeted Allen, "Long time no see." ”

“…… Well, long time no see, Marietta. "Allen still can't get rid of the habit of being shy when he sees girls.

"Can we go sit by the Black Lake this afternoon?" Marietta's voice was soft, "Just the two of us?" ”

Alan glanced at Sergei, who was concentrating on something with Joel and didn't have time to talk to himself.

He pondered for two seconds before nodding, "...... Yes. ”

He agreed, and Marietta smiled, "Then we'll see you at 4 p.m." ”

She happily shook her hand and went to find her good friend Qiu Zhang.

Under Sergei's gaze, Joel uncovered the envelope's letter stamp with the Boginbock store, took out the stationery inside, opened it, and read it with Sergei.

"To Mr. Joel Taylor:

I have received your previous letter, and I am interested in the two sets of Chadwick's Magic that you are talking about, bearing Chadwick Bout's own signature.

But after Mr. Chadwick's death, the number of signed copies of Chadwick's Magic has increased in the market, even to the point of being fake.

So before I could make the acquisition, I had to verify with my own eyes that the two signatures were signed by Chadwick himself, which is crucial to the value of the collection.

If you're sure you want to sell both sets of books, the Tumbledown Lane Boggin Bock store is ready to welcome you. ”

The letter was not long, and the meaning of Boginbock was clear: if you wanted to sell a book, you had to take the scroll to his shop and ask him to confirm that it was genuine.

"How's that, sell?" Joel looked at Sergey.

“…… Sell it, he doesn't cheat people, right? Sergei hesitated for a moment but nodded.

"Probably not," said Joel, "after all, he has his own store, and this kind of pickling can't be done in the open, otherwise it will ruin his reputation, but it is inevitable to keep the price down." ”

"Okay then, let's wait for the two of us to come back and go together?"

Joel thought about it for a moment, the closest holiday to them was Christmas, and that would be two months away......

He didn't want to wait that long, he had to get the first pot of gold as soon as possible and start his own money-making business, otherwise he wouldn't know that he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to exchange the origin of magic power.

"I can't wait that long, I'm going to go this weekend."

"Weekend?" Sergei frowned, "How did you leave the campus?" ”

"I have my own way, do you want to come along?"

Sergei stared at Joel, feeling that he was becoming more and more unable to see through this roommate.

"Okay, call me when you want to act." He nodded in response.

After breakfast, Joel followed the group to the underground Potions classroom, where he was once again subjected to Professor Snape's stormy ridicule.

"I think your head is no less than a troll with a stinging grass, Mr. Taylor." Professor Snape said coldly, and Joel looked down at the pulp in the cauldron in front of him in silence.

This time, Joel made a mistake in the fusion step, and the porcupine bones placed at the end fused with the lionfish spine powder that was put in before in advance, making a pot of rejuvenation completely wasted.

"Ravenclaw deducts five points." After deducting points from the Academy, Snape triumphantly left Joel's side.

"Don't be upset," Eddie comforted the expressionless Joel with a sad face after class, "Snape is like that, holding on to other people's sore spots. ”

He was also a key target for Snape, and Snape would also be deducted a few points for a lesson.

The four dormitories were walking together in the dimly lit underground corridors of the castle, and at the staircase to the Great Hall, they saw Prefect Caitlyn standing there with her hands on her chest, her face as usual in a high brown ponytail.

"Mr. Taylor and Mr. Carmitchell, I want to talk to the two of you." She called on Joel and Eddie's names.

The two men followed Caitlyn out of the Great Hall and onto the lawn outside Hogwarts Castle, where the first-year Slytherin and Gryffindor students had just finished their flying lessons and followed Lady Hooch into the Great Hall with broomsticks.

"Two," Catelyn's lips pursed, an expression that resembled Professor McGonagall's, "can you explain to me about Potions?" ”

"Three weeks into school, you two deducted 56 points for Ravenclaw for a course in Potions of Light alone, which is not a small number."

"We don't have a strong Quidditch team, which puts us at a disadvantage in the House Cup, so we value the points we earn in our daily classes," she explained to the duo, "If you keep going, not only will we not win the House Cup this year, but we will be at the bottom of the four houses." ”

"We can't be blamed for that!" Eddie shouted, "Snape was too strict with us, how could he deduct points from students like that?" I've heard that he never deducts points from Slytherin students! ”

"It's Professor Snape, Mr. Carmitch," Caitlyn emphasized, "and I know Professor Snape is more ...... Favoritism towards Slytherin students. She pondered for a moment to find the right word to describe Professor Snape's actions.

"But there's nothing we can do to change Professor Snape, so why not change ourselves?" Caitlyn said, "Potions isn't that hard in first year, is it?" ”
