Chapter 8: Kui! Earth! Strange!
After Harry left Lady Morkin's robes shop, he had something more in his backpack, Mr. Ollivander was a generous man, this black dragon leather backpack was expanded with a traceless stretching charm, and the space inside was not particularly large, probably more than ten times the original volume.
And it's very convenient to pick up things, you can reach out and reach out, and there is magic in it to help stack and place, which is very magical.
Hagrid was already waiting in front of the shop, a large tub of ice cream in one hand and a cage in the other, and a beautiful snowy owl was looking at Harry with curiosity.
"It's pretty, Hagrid."
Harry put his finger into the cage, and the pretty owl pecked lightly with its beak, as if to show closeness.
"If you like it." Hagrid stuffed the ice cream to Harry, "It's your birthday in half a month, but I don't think I can get past it then, your birthday present, I wish you a happy birthday in advance, Harry." ”
"Thank you, Hagrid!"
"You're welcome, let's go, we still have a lot to buy."
They went to the Blotted bookstore to buy a full set of textbooks, and went to the grocery store to buy crucibles and various utensils, and the bits and pieces of things were all sorted, and the richness of the wizarding world was revealed to Harry at this moment.
But what he cared about the most was the Quidditch shop, and after buying all the school props, Harry arrived at the door, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was scorching, and there were many fewer people looking around the window, so the things displayed behind the window could be seen.
"The boys love it, and of course the girls love it."
"It's just that I don't have anyone my size to ride, I have a motorcycle, and that's not bad." ”
Although Harry was mentally prepared to accept this outrageous magical world, he was still not calm after seeing what was displayed in the window.
The light wheel, which represents the company that produced it, and the 2000 model represents its model, everything is normal here, but the back... Intercontinental, which means that it can travel long distances, has enough staying power to cross continents, and flying, which means that it flies in the sky, and bullets represent it.....
It means it's a missile!
Lightwheel 2000 intercontinental missile!
Lightwheel Company strives to build, professional-level competition missiles, opening a new era of Quidditch! With a top speed of 300 km/h and a super endurance range, the Halo 2000 will never stop no matter whether the race lasts for a week or a month!
Harry, who was shocked by this advertising slogan, swallowed his saliva, this intercontinental missile with a diameter of about 20 centimeters and a length of 1.8 meters is small but powerful, the streamlined projectile body shines with a metallic luster, but it is not dazzling, the white paint is simple and atmospheric, the four rear wings at the tail are flexible and free, and there are eight steering vents, distributed at the front and rear ends, to ensure that the rider can turn at high speed and agility in the sky.
Even if Harry looked at it with the most critical eye, he couldn't find the slightest fault.
It's not a tool at all, it's a work of art behind a shop window.
"Hagrid, wait, I feel like I won't be able to sleep if I don't buy it back."
"But first-year students can't bring this, you have flying lessons, and second-year students can only sign up for the Quidditch varsity team, Harry."
"But there are always exceptions, right? I don't feel like I need to wait until second grade, I'm an all-rounder. ”
Harry patted his chest, "Gringotts' dump truck is so fast, but it doesn't affect me at all, I was born to do this, Hagrid!" ”
"If it really doesn't work, it's a big deal that I won't take it out and put it in my bag, right?"
Seeing that Harry was so determined to get his hands on the Halo 2000, and that Harry did have a much stronger talent for such a fast-moving thing than he did, Hagrid nodded after a few hesitations.
"Once you're in school, you'd better talk to your dean and see what the professor has to say."
"No problem, no problem!"
Harry pulled Hagrid open the door, "I want it!" Light Wheel 2000 intercontinental missile. ”
He took out his money bag and opened his mouth with pride.
"Welcome! My esteemed guest! ”
As soon as he heard that business had come to his door, the store manager greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Distinguished guest, I'm Marco, the store manager here, you want a light wheel 2000, right?"
"Yes." Harry nodded firmly.
"There are only two left in the spot, what a coincidence that you came, the production of the light wheel 2000 just launched is not high, but each one is a high-quality product."
"Two hundred and thirty Galleons, and if you want them, I'll bring them to you at once."
A small pile of gold galleons was poured out of Harry's pocket, and there were special tools in the store for counting coins, and when he poured the gold galleons into it and shook it, the golden bullets could be lined up in a row of ten, and in less than fifteen seconds, Marco put away Galleon with a smile.
"Wait a minute, and if you're interested, take a look at other things, like the best maintenance tools, upgradable invisible seats, wind and rain barriers for long trips, and even a fold-out single bed, we've got it all."
He bowed slightly and retreated, heading to the warehouse in the rear.
Taking advantage of this, Harry also looked at the other flying tools in the Quidditch Boutique.
The advertising slogan of the light wheel 2000 is indeed not fake, it is indeed a missile that opens a new era, because the previous one was not called a missile, but a rocket.
For example, the various types of rockets of the Sweep series and the Comet series are much thinner than the Halo 2000, with a diameter of less than ten centimeters and a length of only about one and a half meters, with a tail fin, but no steering vent, and the maximum speed is only about 18 to 222 per hour, which is thrown off by the Halo 2000.
But apart from these broomsticks, the wizards used rockets for serious travel, not bullets.
This kind of rocket that can allow one to three people to sit on it is one meter eight short, three or four meters long, although the flexibility can not be compared with the competition, but the comfort and stability are much higher, the acceleration is smooth, about thirty seconds can accelerate to one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour, three people will be fully loaded, the speed will be reduced some, about one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour, it is almost a good partner for wizards to travel at home, and it can be folded, and it can be folded into a cylinder that does not take up space when not needed, which can be used as a stool.
Harry, who is not bad for money, upgraded the invisible cushion, he tried the original version, it was a little hard, not so comfortable, plus a set of maintenance equipment, Harry didn't need anything else, he was going to play in Quidditch, and those components that sheltered him from the wind and rain were not allowed.
Contented! Nothing satisfies Harry more than today!
Traveling around the market with the Halo 2000 was not a good choice, Harry stuffed it into his backpack and ended up in a shop selling magical snacks, packing several portions of every food he hadn't tried to take home to share.
Soon it was time to part with Hagrid, who handed over an envelope, "This is your ticket to Hogwarts, September 1st, King's Cross Station, it all says on it." ”
Hagrid patted Harry on the shoulder at the end, "See you at school, Harry!" ”
"See you at school, Hagrid!"
Harry made his way home, waving goodbye to Hagrid.
