School is just a few days away from school. Both Charon and Harry received their enrollment lists for the new school year, and there were some things they had to buy. I went to the pharmacy to refill the potions, and went to the Lady Morkin's robes store to buy a few new robes. On top of that, new textbooks must be purchased, which include two new courses, the protection of magical creatures and divination.

Ron and Hermione also returned from abroad and brought them gifts with owls. They made an appointment to go shopping in Diagon Alley the day before school started, then stayed in Diagon Alley that night, and went directly to the King's Cross platform early in the morning on the second day to avoid the hassle of running around.

When the two arrived at the door of the Lane bookstore, Charon looked at the window of the bookstore and was startled. Usually the books of incantations the size of floor tiles with gold reliefs were displayed in the windows of bookstores, but now they were gone, replaced by a large iron cage containing about a hundred copies

Charon pulled the list out of his pocket and looked at it for the first time. The Yokai Book of Yokai is listed as a must-have book for the course on the protection of magical creatures.

Fortunately, Hagrid had already sent Harry a copy, and now he only had to buy one for Charon. The two walked into the bookstore, and the manager hurried to meet them.

"Hogwarts?" Unexpectedly, he asked, "Are you here to buy a new book?" ”

"Yes," Charon said, "I need ......"

"Get out of the way, please." The manager was impatient with her and pushed him aside. He put on a pair of thick gloves, picked up a thick, knotted cane, and walked to the iron cage that contained it.

"All you need is one, which is better." The manager's face showed a very depressed look, "I've been bitten five times this morning. ”

Suddenly, there was a loud tearing sound: two copies grabbed the third and tore it apart.

"Stop, stop!" The manager shouted, and reached through the cane between the bars and opened the books.

"I'm never going to store these books again, never! It's a lot of fun! We've gone through two hundred books and I thought there was nothing worse than them! ”

"I think I should be fine!" Charon thought it was amusement, and indeed, when he put his hand inside, the books were silent. Charon took a copy casually. He felt the book tremble in his hand!

"Oh my God, wonder child! Well, do you want any other books? The manager was shocked.

"Something else," Charon said. Harry looked at the list and added, "We need two copies by Cassandra Vablaski. ”

"Ah, you're starting to learn about prophecy, aren't you?" As he spoke, the manager took off his gloves and led them to the back of the bookstore. There was a corner full of books on divination. A small table has many books on it, such as:

"Here it is," said the manager, as he climbed the ladder to take down two thick books with black covers, "and is a useful guide to all your basic divination methods, palmistry, crystal balls, and bird entrails." Charon took the book, but Harry's eyes fell on another book, a book on the small table: (Omen of Death: What do you do when you know the worst is coming?) ）。

"Oh, if I were you, I wouldn't read books like this." Charon saw Harry's gaze fall on the book, so he stopped, saying, "These books will affect your thoughts, cause your negative energy to increase, and in short, this book will scare people to death." ”

But Harry still glanced at the cover of the book: it had a dog, about the size of a bear, with glowing eyes. The dog looked surprisingly familiar......

The bookstore clerk shoved the book into Charon's hand.

"Anything else?" He said.

"Yes," Charon stabbed Harry, who managed to leave the dog with his eyes and looked at his book list in a daze, "Oh, we want Intermediate Transfiguration and Standard Spells, Level 3." ”

Ten minutes later, the two of them walked out of the bookstore, new books under their armpits, and headed for the Leaky Cauldron Bar. Charon looked at Harry a little dizzy, angry and funny, knowing that he couldn't read that kind of book, so he had to stare at it endlessly.

At that moment, Charon and Harry's names were called at each other, and Charon turned around.

"Charon, Harry!" Sure enough, it was Hermione and Ron, both of them, sitting outside Florin's cold drink shop, Ron looked incredibly strange, Hermione was tanned brown, and both were desperately waving.

"I saw you two anyway!" Ron said, grinning at Charon and Harry as they sat down, "We've been to the Leaky Cauldron, but they said you're gone, so we went to the bookstore, to Madame Morkin, and ......"

"We've just bought everything we need for school." Charon explained.

"Hey, Harry, we've all heard about you." Ron said with some excitement. Mr. Weasley, who works at the Ministry of Magic, will of course hear the whole story and know what happened to Aunt Halimaki.

"Did you really blow up your aunt, Harry?" Hermione asked, in a serious tone.

"I didn't mean to do this," Harry said, Ron laughing heartily, "I just lost control for a moment. ”

"There's nothing funny about that, Ron." Hermione said sharply, "Honestly, I'm surprised that Harry wasn't fired. ”

"Me too." Harry admitted, "I forgot about the expulsion, I thought I was going to be arrested." He looked at Ron, "Your dad doesn't know why Fudge let me go, does he know?" ”

"Probably because it's you, isn't it?" Ron shrugged his shoulders and still giggled, "The famous Harry Potter or something." If I blow up my aunt, the Ministry of Magic won't let me go. Of course, before they could take me away, they had to dig me up first, because my mom would kill me first. Anyway, you can ask my dad yourself tonight. We're also going to spend the night at the Leaky Cauldron tonight, so we'll be at King's Cross station tomorrow. ”

Hermione nodded too, with a smile on her face, "My mom and dad left me and all the things I needed at Hogwarts there this morning. ”

"Great!" Charon and Harry were delighted, and Charon asked, "So, have you all bought all the new books and everything?" ”

"Look," Ron said, pulling a slender box from his bag and opening it, "a brand new wand, fourteen inches long, wicker, with a unicorn's tail hair. And we've got all the books," he said, gesturing to a large bag under his chair, "how about the monster books, eh?" When we said we wanted two, the clerk almost didn't cry. ”

"What else did you buy? Hermione. Charon asked, pointing to three bulging bags on the chair next to her.

"Oh, didn't I take more classes than you?" Hermione said, "Those are books on arithmetic divination, protection of magical creatures, divination, ancient magic studies, Muggle studies......

"Didn't I tell you?" Charon said helplessly, "Knowledge does not represent ability, what is the use of remembering those things that are useless?" Oh, and I've got a gift for each of you, which Harry and I spent almost a month making! With this treasure, there is no need to memorize so much useless knowledge! ”

After Charon finished speaking, he took out two magic diaries and gave one to each of them.

"What is this?" Hermione asked with some curiosity, rummaging in her hands.

Ron didn't care too much, he didn't care much about anything like studying, books and notebooks were quite annoying to him.

"I'll teach you," Harry was intrigued, and although this thing had no advantage over Muggle electronic dictionaries, it was the brainchild of him and Charon for most of the month.

Harry's presentation immediately caught Hermione's attention, and Ron was soon intrigued.

"Great!" Ron fiddled with his magic journal and was excited, "It's just amazing stuff, with this thing, I don't have to take so many messy notes!" Charon, Harry, you two are geniuses! I adore both of you to the ground! ”

Charon confused him, and he asked unconfidently, "Ron, is this really that good?" You have to know that there is a Muggle tech product called an electronic dictionary that functions almost exactly like him, and is much cheaper and better-looking! ”

"Please!" Ron scoffed at Charon's concern, "Who would use Muggle electronics but the people from the Muggle Affairs Department?" And I bet there's absolutely no magical knowledge in that kind of electronic dictionary you're talking about! ”

"Well," Ron's words sparked Charon's fighting spirit, and he became confident again, "do you think the little wizards will like this?" ”

"Of course!" Ron said categorically, "This little one has a lot of books, and it comes out as soon as you look it up, it's much more convenient than going to the library to flip through the books, who wouldn't like it?" ”

"Yes, Charon," Hermione cheered Charon on, "I've seen that electronic dictionary you mentioned, and it's pretty much the same." But you have to consider two things, first of all, no one will input magic knowledge into the electronic dictionary, so that kind of electronic dictionary will not work at all. And even if someone did, where would they go to recharge their electronic dictionaries at Hogwarts? There are no power lines here! ”。

Ron and Hermione's full support rekindled Charon and Harry's confidence. Charon stood up and waved his hand in high spirits, "Looks like we're going to have to find a place to discuss the plans to make a magic diary!" ”

"Wait," Hermione said, stopping Charon's impulse, "this is a matter of great importance, and it's not too late to discuss it slowly." Let's go buy a pet for me first, my birthday is in September, my mom and my dad gave me some money to buy myself a birthday gift in advance. I want an owl. I mean, Charon has Blackie, Harry has his Hedwig, and Ron has Errol......"
