Chapter 34: Hogwarts: A History of the School
For Lovell, Diagon Alley was an option that was ruled out from the start. The reason is simple, this place it has never even heard of, let alone the location it has found. The Hogwarts library seemed like a good choice, but the books there were only available to the school's teachers and students, and Lovell didn't touch either of them, and he couldn't get books from there. Moreover, the library's books are only borrowed and not sold, but Lovell wants to give the books as gifts, so the library is naturally excluded.
So there's really only one answer that fits the bill: Hogsmeade Village.
Lovell sighed softly, he didn't expect that he had just returned from Hogsmeade and was going to go again. However, because Professor Dimmitt caught Fred and George halfway through, they returned to school early. It also gave Lovell time to go again.
This time, in order to save time, Lovell decided to take on a human form.
Human form, switch!
Lovell takes on the form of a silver-haired teenager.
Although I don't have an inch on my body now, it's not a problem. Dumbledore had prepared a set of clothes for Lovell when he knew that he could turn into a teenager, but Lovell never wanted to wear them.
Now that he was going out shopping in the cold wind, he would definitely have to put on a dress.
Lovell pulled the garment out of his nest.
Dumbledore gave Lovell a standard Hogwarts uniform: a plain pair of grey cloth shoes, a black plain hooded wizard's robe, a pair of trousers and a white shirt.
The clothes are very simple and clean, without any ornamentation except for the necessary buttons. However, simplicity does not mean simplicity, this set of clothes is made of good fabrics, it is very soft and comfortable to the touch, the wolf cub stroked the clothes, he likes the soft feel very much.
It was Lovell's first time dressed. He clumsily slipped himself into his clothes, nearly falling several times along the way, and the endless buttons on his shirt drove him even more crazy.
Lovell: ()
If it weren't for the fact that it was so cold outside, he might have run out naked.
After tossing and turning for an unknown amount of time, Lovell finally got dressed. After the last button was buttoned, Lovell let out a sigh of relief, he didn't want to wear clothes again!
Because he was too unskilled, a good set of clothes was wrinkled by Lovell. However, the inappropriateness of the costume did not ruin Lovell's appearance, he was still the handsome and beautiful little boy.
In other words, it feels like a canine boyfriend.
After getting dressed, Lovell pulled out the two gold Galleons and stuffed the small bag that Professor Dimmit had given him into the pocket of his robe - after handing the thief over to the Ministry of Magic officials, Dimmit noticed the wolf cub's embarrassment that he could only hold on to the gold Galleons, so he gave Lovell a small bag for money, so that Lovell only needed to tie the money bag around his neck.
After dressing up, Lovell left Dumbledore's office and headed for Hogsmeade.
By the time he arrived in Hogsmeade, the streets had dropped considerably, and most of the shops were empty. For example, the magic lemon tea in the Three Broomsticks Bar stopped selling because the tea bags were sold out.
But these have little effect on the bookstore, how can a little wizard be idle and visit the bookstore in Hogsmeade Village? It's hard to get a day off, so why bother yourself? As a result, no matter how popular other shops are, the bookstore in Hogsmeade Village has always been tepid. Occasionally, some locals come here to buy bestsellers, or a little wizard comes to buy some stationery.
After asking for directions a few times, Lovell found the only bookstore in Hogsmeade Village. It did not open on the main road of the village, but chose a secluded corner, where it stood quietly, waiting for someone to come to the door. Perhaps it's a matter of business and words, but not far from the bookstore is the Hogsmeade Post Office, an owl post office with two or three hundred different kinds of owls. Many young wizards visit Hogsmeade Village for the first time. 、
The appearance of the house is very simple, it does not look much different from ordinary houses, and there is a solid wood signboard at the door, which reads in beautiful flower characters:
【Daniel Book House: Providing you with a ladder of knowledge】
The bookstore looks unremarkable on the outside, but inside it has a library-like layout, with shelves full of books neatly arranged, each with thousands of books. There are a handful of Ravenclaw College students dressed up wandering through the shelves, picking out the books they want to read.
"Welcome," said the owner of the bookstore, a mild-mannered, middle-aged wizard with no character, but at first glance the kind of person who was very easy to get along with. He glanced at the young man in front of him, secretly surprised by the handsomeness of the wolf cub.
"Is there anything you want?" He asked.
"I want to buy a book for a good friend as a Christmas present, and she loves to read." Alone in a strange place, Lovell was a little nervous, but fortunately, the owner was very kind, and his nervousness dissipated a lot.
What kind of books does she like? I have academic books, storybooks and lifestyle magazines here, and of course, Gilderoy Lockhart's latest masterpiece. ”
Lovell:......
He was silent directly, and after a while he said hesitantly: "She likes to watch...... A variety of books ......"
Bookstore Owner: ......
It reminded him of a somewhat clichéd joke.
"Why don't you read this book? After all, it is the work of Mr. Lockhart, and it is a bestseller. The boss pulled out a book called "Wandering with Werewolves" from the bookshelf, with a bright moon on the cover, and a wizard walking side by side with a furry monster under the moon.
Lovell's face was a little odd, but the book was quite appropriate—Hermione might be able to write such a book on a trip with him someday, and the title of the book "Miss Granger and Her Wolf" might have been a good choice.
"How much?" Lovell was going to buy the book.
"Five Galleons."
Lovell was silent, he couldn't afford it.
"Let's get another copy." He suddenly understood the usefulness of money.
The shopkeeper saw Lovell's embarrassment, but instead of showing disgust, he took Lovell more seriously to pick up the books.
"She's a girl who loves to read? Have a strong thirst for knowledge? The boss's eyes fell on the corner of the bookshelf.
Lovell nodded.
"Then this book might be a very good choice." He pulled out an extremely thick book from the corner, dusted it off, and handed it to Lovell.
Lovell read the title of the book on the cover, it was called Hogwarts: A History of the School
