Chapter 161: The Great Black Dog

After a holiday, Siris Blake was still nowhere to be seen, but the Ministry of Magic was becoming more and more vigilant, but it had little to do with Brie.

Brie has grown a little taller, and last year's wizarding robes are long gone, and he is now ordering wizarding robes at the Lady Morkin Robe Specialty Store, as well as some more comfortable undershirts.

"Oh dear, haha, maybe you'll have to do it again halfway through the semester."

Lady Morkin is definitely a veteran in making clothes for little wizards, and she knows very well what period and how tall the little wizard will grow, and Brie's height has indeed grown quite fast during this time, so Brie nodded and agreed with Lady Morkin's suggestion.

"Fetch me some better fabrics, ma'am."

Brie said to Mrs. Morkin, "By the way, make a few pieces according to the dimensions on this piece of paper, you know, my uncle has come to me, and he is running the shop, and I want to buy him some gifts, and the other little ones, and, of course, Mr. Nicol Lemay, who is a guest at my house." ”

Naturally, Mrs. Morkin had heard of something that had been very hot lately.

"Oh, Fantasy Games, of course, you've made a lot of money, but you don't have to worry about ordinary fabrics for you, let me see ......"

Mrs. Morkin picked up the list and quickly glanced at it, and she was surprised: "Oh, there are so many people on here, some of them are familiar......

"Is it made for the professors, Hogwarts will make wizarding robes for the professors every once in a while, I remember very well, even Dumbledore's are on them."

The size of these professors was still the one that Brie asked Professor Sprout for, hoping to give them some opening gifts.

"Okay, even the detailed color pattern is written, then I'll mail it to Hogwarts, after all, you're going to school tomorrow, September 1st, it's a big day."

Brie and Mrs. Morkin were talking, and outside the shop came some little wizards, who always came to Diagon Alley to prepare things the day before school started.

"Shut up and don't talk about Malfoy!"

It was Daphne Greengrass, and beside her was a little girl who looked like a freshman, and she was timidly following Daphne's side, turning her head away, as if she didn't want to get close to Daphne.

"Oude?"

Brie said goodbye to Madame Morkin, and stopped when she walked beside Daphne.

"You're talking about Draco?"

The girl next to Daphne glanced up at Brie, blushed and quickly lowered her head again, but Daphne was a little nervous and said, "It's nothing, Ode." ”

Daphne pulled the little girl next to her and said, "Let's go, go buy a robe, As." ”

But the girl, Ace, didn't move, she said, "You're Mr. Ode, right, I've heard Draco's mother mention you, you're Draco's chosen friend." ”

"I'm Astoria Greengrass."

Daphne frowned, snorted coldly, and turned to Madame Morkin, leaving her sister alone.

"Astoria?"

It turned out to be the youngest daughter of the Greengrass family, and Brie had learned about the pure-blood family before, and it was Tom who told him that he had to understand all the people who were in power and prestige at the moment in order to truly surpass them.

"Yes." Astoria nodded, smiled shyly, and hurried to her sister.

Brie walked out of Lady Morkin's robes store confused, how could this Astoria be different from the rest of the pure-blood family, and say it strangely.

"Woohoo!"

A barking of dogs interrupted Brie's doubts, and next to the newsstore, there was a front-page headline on the shelf, on which a haggard and emaciated Ciris Blake was glaring at passers-by in the newspaper, and a large black dog covered in stains was barking at Brie and carefully backing away.

Moving newspapers, crushed pastries...

Brie shrugged apologetically at the dog, he didn't notice a piece of pastry on the ground, it looked like a dog spotted it before his feet, but it was his feet that crushed the pastry first.

"Do I want to compensate you?"

Brie didn't have anything to do today, all the arrangements were discussed with Tom last night, and Tom could also be fully responsible for the rest of the matter, under the master-servant contract like a domestic elf, Tom couldn't do anything that was harmful to Brie against Brie.

Brie is confident in her alchemy.

"Woohoo!"

"Don't make a noise."

Brie, who had nothing to do, was a little idle, and soon bought some pastries from a distant vendor and placed them next to the big black dog.

"Little one, you're a little bit human."

Brie looked at the feasting black dog and said appreciatively, "It's quite edible." ”

Brie bought another snack, handed it to the big black dog, and then bought five more for herself.

Let's go, go to the dessert shop.

Brie ate as she walked, and soon arrived at the dessert shop, ordered herself a pudding, and ate the snack, while the big black dog on the side whined and scratched Bri's trouser leg with his black paws.

"Give it a copy too."

"Isn't that Oude?" At this time, a familiar voice came from Brie's ear, it was Ron, and soon-

"Brie!"

Hermione trotted over to Brie's side, and she said happily, "Great, I thought I wouldn't be able to meet you this year when I was late, but I didn't expect you to be late." ”

"Oh, Hermione, you probably haven't heard of it, in the Muggle world, people are now the great young masters of the Ode family, his uncle came to him, and he is still a wizard......"

"There's also a fantasy game, and even let my two older brothers go to his place for summer jobs."

Ron's eyes were full of envy, and he babbled about the recent news about Ode, which made Hermione's eyes widen, and Harry on the side knew something, he escaped from his aunt's house, and he had been living in the Leaky Cauldron recently, so he had heard about the wizarding world.

Because of this, his mood is a little low.

"Are you thinking of Cyris Brick, Potter?"

Brie looked up at Harry, a little curious about Harry's attitude towards his godfather and enemy Blake, and it was clear that Potter was resolute, and his eyes were full of hatred at the mention of Siris.

"I won't let him go, just like I did with Voldemort!"

"Oh!" Harry's voice startled the owner of the dessert shop, and he stared at Harry warily, relieving himself after recognizing it as the savior, but he didn't approach Harry to ask if he had any dessert needs.

"Can I have some more pudding, boss?"

Brie finished eating the bowl, and there were still two servings of dim sum, which was not good, by the way, he couldn't eat it himself, he was not so stingy.

……

"It tastes good." Hermione commented, "I think it's got some potions in it, and it makes people feel better after eating it." ”

"It's a euphoria, isn't it?"

The boss on the side looked over at this time, smiled at Hermione and said, "That's right, it's a joy potion, it seems that Hogwarts has a very smart little wizard." ”

In the face of the shopkeeper's appreciation, Hermione happily accepted, by the way, she bought two more copies, ready to take them back to her parents to taste, today she came alone in Diagon Alley, she is 13 years old, girls always grow earlier than boys, so at this time, even Harry is not as tall as Hermione, and Brie can be half a head taller than Hermione.

"Go to my store, I just gave you a gift for the start of school, but I don't know if you can play such a game***."

Brie glanced at the pudding that had only taken one bite on the ground and frowned.

The dog was so timid that a few people came and hid, wasting a pudding.

When I came to the alchemy shop, there were still a lot of wizards here, most of whom were brought by the young wizards begging their parents.

But when Brie walked into the shop, George immediately came over, full of dissatisfaction, and said, "Oh, our boss Brie, help us, there are too many people, we don't bring the same one every day, we can't re-explain it every time." ”

"George, you'll be liberated tomorrow, so be happy, and think about the gold galleons I'll send you today."

George smiled.

"For the sake of Kim Galleon, I'm willing to serve you."

George glanced at Ron, and then, like his brother who had never seen the world, walked to the other side to play a game of fantasy with the little wizards.

"Wow!" Ron swallowed as he looked at the illusionary character floating in mid-air, and the ring spreading out of the chuck.

"It's like it's real, it's amazing, wow, look, Harry, it's magic, it allows the little wizard to control the character duel, it's magic!"

Ron grabbed Harry and ran towards the display chuck, but Harry didn't have time to react.

Brie led Hermione in the direction of the sale, where Vail was watching, and said excitedly: "Brie, Tom is going to open a shop like this in Hogsmeade Village, and I'll go there and watch when the time comes, and Tom will take care of it here." ”

Verr was very happy, because all the money was in his hands, which was what he had always wanted.

"Yes, Hogsmeade Village, that's another place where wizards gather, it's a lot more chaotic than Diagon Alley, you should be careful."

"Where's Tom?"

In a moment he was going to talk to Tom about where to build a house, and he couldn't use the courtyard outside London, which was too small to meet the family's requirements.

"Upstairs, don't disturb him thinking!"

Verr said eagerly: "He said that he wanted to find me the best location for my shop in Hogsmeade Village, and I had to think of a way..."

Brie was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, then get Hermione a fantasy card and ten packs of cards." ”

"Oh, good."

Verr twisted the snake's body, took it off the back shelf, and put it in Hermione's hand, who had long been attracted.

"Did you give it to me, I took a look, and the price of this thing is not low."

She could afford the price of the cards, but the cards needed some accumulation, which was one hundred and eight gold gallons.

"Yes, for the beautiful Miss Granger."

Brie smiled and said, "I need the help of beautiful Miss Granger here, and it's about a three-year elective. ”

There was a description of the electives in the letter that came with them before, and they needed to make a choice on the day after returning to school, and take the list of electives to their own yard, Brie looked at the various electives and had a headache, especially about divination, Brie never believed in these, but...

There are always some people who will be treated specially, like Brie.

Since she was the first in her second-year exam last year, Professor McGonagall wanted Brie to learn more, not to give up on the basics just because the course was easy, and if she could, she wanted Brie to learn them all, even though she didn't like divination either.

Build a solid foundation, that's Professor McGonagall's advice.

Brie looked at Hermione, who looked curious, and said helplessly: "That's right, Professor McGonagall wants me to learn every subject, but some courses are conflicting, so she is ready to apply for a time turner for me, this is a magic item that can be visited multiple times at the same time, it is very powerful, but it is very energy-consuming, I don't think I need to learn so much." ”

"Ah, aren't you going to learn them all?" Before Brie could finish speaking, she heard Hermione say in surprise, "We should all learn it, it's good for us." ”

Well, how could Brie have forgotten that Hermione had just been called Miss Encyclopedia by Ron, and that she had made a mistake.

Brie is going to ask you to help me talk to Professor McGonagall about how much energy a person can have, but it seems that Hermione needs a timeturner more than he does.

Brie's eyes lit up, and he soon looked into Hermione's eyes sincerely, and whispered, "I'll help you, let you get the time turner, you love learning so much, this thing should belong to you." ”

Hermione blushed when she heard Brie's words, and she shyly brushed her face away.

"Thank you, Brie, but what do you want me to do for you?"

"Help?"

"No, I just wanted you to help me deliver gifts to Professor Dumbledore, I bought them for all the professors, but my relationship with Professor Dumbledore is a bit deadlocked, you should be able to tell it."

"You'll help me too, right, Hermione."

Hermione nodded abruptly.

"Of course, Brie."

At dusk, Hermione leaves with Harry and Ron, who is reluctant to go, and Ron says that he can go back with his two brothers, but Fred and George pretend not to see him.

"This is the wages of the two of you, one hundred gold Galleons each, and if Tom has a branch in Hogsmeade as well, you can go there and help when you have time, and I'll let Nicol arrange it for you."

"Oh, the magnanimous Ode, the great Ode!"

Fred held his money bag and said excitedly: "If it weren't for my useless brother who doesn't know anything, I'm afraid I'd have to let him come here as a servant, at least let him change a good wand for himself, instead of using the family's money." ”

George also nodded, and said to Brie gratefully: "Maybe we can't take so much, but we will repay you in the future, this is an investment, our little master Brie." ”

Fred and George looked at each other, bowed comically to Brie, and left Diagon Alley with their shoulders hooked.

At this time, Brie said to Verr, "Close, Verne, tomorrow morning it will be closed, and take me to King's Cross Station, I actually like the feeling of my family sending me into the train." ”

Very's eyes softened a little when he heard Brie's words.

"Of course, it's the first time, and it won't be the last, Brie."
