Chapter 3: The Colorful Wizarding World
The moment Diagon Alley opened, the magical world appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Nicks was born into a wizarding family, but he had never seen magic, and the wizarding world was like being covered with a thick canvas, and he could only see the corner that had been lifted by himself.
Snape opened the doors of Diagon Alley as if he had lifted the entire canvas, exposing the magic of fantasy.
At a glance, the wizard in the robe, the owl cage on the street, and the magic broom in the window dazzled Nix.
Tifa's mouth opened wide and she couldn't close it for a long time, and the wonderful and magnificent wizarding world hit her heart, making her want to join in.
Snape waited for everyone to come back to their senses and said, "Please look at the list of essential items and decide where you want to go?" ”
Diana took out the letter, and Nix and Tifa went up to read it, and there were three categories on it, namely uniforms, textbooks, and other equipment, and finally mentioned that pets were allowed.
Seeing that pets could be brought with him, Tifa's eyes lit up and he said to Diana, "Let's go to the pet store!" ”
Diana hesitated, Tifa's big flickering eyes made her unbearable, "Okay, let's go see the pet first." Please, Professor. ”
Snape led the group to the pet store.
The pet store is populated by owls, and there are many creatures unique to the wizarding world, which are firmly in the eye of Diana and Tifa. Nix reminded them, "Only owls, cats, and toads are allowed in the school. ”
Tifa retorted: "You can't take it to school, you can keep it at home, Jin Yan can take care of it." ”
The Knicks were silenced.
Fortunately, Diana still had her senses and bought a pair of kittens for Nicks and Tifa. The two black and white kittens look about the same, the difference is that Nicks's cat has a pair of panda eyes, and Tifa's is more normal.
When Tilfa leaves the pet store, she has a crush on a ball bird, and Diana wants to buy it for her, but Snape stops her, and he doesn't explain why.
Nicks spotted Tifa muttering something and listened carefully, Tifa was saying "curse you forever", and the little girl learned his mantra.
The second stop was Madame Morkin's robes store, where there were all kinds of clothes, and Diana was like a mouse entering the rice barn, her eyes shining. Regardless of Nix, she took care of herself and began to choose the clothes she liked.
Nix didn't care about his mother, and Diana didn't have it easy for many years, she had to take care of two children, and her constant daily work was only enough to make ends meet.
Diana hadn't bought new clothes for a long time, and her daily work left her with no time to go shopping. Even so, the income from the job was only enough to feed the three of them, and the Knicks and Tifa's tuition fees were only enough for her to sell some of the family's belongings.
Nicks suspected that she had been deceived when she sold antiques, and on several occasions Nicks wanted Jin Yan to mix black magic items with antiques, but he gave up thinking that his mother might be investigated and detained by the Ministry of Magic.
Mrs. Morkin's movements were skillful, Nicks's size was quickly measured, and Diana had no intention of leaving, she was still picking out clothes.
While waiting, the Knicks saw the celebrity, Neville Longbottom, accompanied by Professor McGonagall.
He didn't go to say hello, the two didn't know each other yet, and greeting them was easy to cause confusion among the two professors, and the Deception was like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head.
Diana chose a long set of clothes, the cheapest one. Nicks understood that Diana habitually thought that she was poor and couldn't spend money indiscriminately.
He didn't remind Diana that she could buy all the clothes willfully, now he is just a child, there is no clear boundary between poor and rich, and he can't act.
Let's make up for my mother when I grow up.
Buying textbooks is naturally the Blotted bookstore, and when he arrives here, Knicks is welcome, he buys all the books he can see, and most of the gold galleons that Diana carries are spent.
Snape said unceremoniously, "I don't think you need to touch these books now, many of them are dangerous for young wizards. ”
Nicks understood what Snape meant, "Don't be too ambitious, don't be greedy," and used the danger that books would be dangerous to him to persuade Diana not to buy them.
Nicks wanted to say "I'm rich", but changed his words to "It's okay, I'll be a wizard in the future, and I still have Jin Yan at home, and he will keep the books safe." ”
If you can't beat Snape now, let's hold it down.
Snape inwardly labeled the Knicks "disobedient."
Leaving the bookstore to buy a crucible, Knicks follows Snape's advice and buys what Snape thinks is a better crucible.
Unfortunately, they met the Malfoys here.
Lucius saw Snape's suggestion and said to Draco, "Don't make friends with the poor. ”
Diana also heard it and understood that it was talking about them, and she admitted Lucius's words in her heart, but she still stood up for the sake of Nix not being looked down upon.
Pretending to educate Nix said, "Poverty and wealth are seen not in money, but in heart." ”
Before Nix could speak, Tifa innocently asked, "Mom, are you saying that even if we have a room full of gold coins, we are still poor?" ”
Snape's facial muscles twitched as he saw the gold spill out of the room.
Draco couldn't take it anymore and shouted at Tifa, "You're lying, how can there be a room of gold gallons." ”
Tifa argued: "But what I saw with my own eyes, my mother also asked Jin Yan to put it away and brought out five hundred, and there is a small pile of five hundred?" ”
"Five hundred, do you know how many five hundred are? Can you count to five hundred? "Draco Malfoy thinks Tifa is too small to know how five hundred is.
The people around laughed and watched the two little guys arguing, they didn't take Tifa's words seriously, Tifa was too small.
Lucius heard Jin Yan's name and realized that he might have opened fire on friendly forces. There is a high probability that the family with house-elves is pure-blood, and he is curious about which one it is, so he asked Snape quietly on the surface, "Professor Snape, is this this year's freshman?" Whose children? ”
Snape: "Lestrange's." ”
Lucius smiled: "There shouldn't be a young wizard in their family who has just come of age, how can they all have children in Azkaban." ”
Saying this, he suddenly remembered something, and asked again, "The one who was kicked out of the house?" ”
Snape didn't answer. But Lucius has already determined. Draco left in a hurry.
Listening to the argument between Tifa and Draco, Nyx on the side thought it was funny at first, but slowly felt that something was wrong, as if he was upstairs and heard his sister downstairs and his brother comparing other people's children to his brother, shouting: "My brother dares to eat".
At Snape's suggestion, they bought an astronomical telescope and scales, and the family ended up at Ollivander Wand.
Ollivander inquired about the Nix and took out a wand and said, "Try this, it's made of acacia alchemy." ”
The wand didn't reflect in Nicks' hand, and he waved it slightly, but it still didn't respond. Nicks is very calm, and he has known that the magic is disobedient, and it is not surprising to have this result.
Ollivander began to change wands, one after another, and the Knicks felt that he had the treatment of the protagonist, and the average person didn't have so many options.
It wasn't until Ollivander gave him an ebony wand with a Thestrals' tail feathers in its heart that the wand bloomed with a multicolored black glow in Nix's hand.
