Harley asked curiously:

"What is Quidditch?"

Ash, who was taking measurements, did not answer, but looked at Kassandra with encouraging eyes, who realized that Ash was giving her a chance and explained in a whisper:

"A ball game played by wizards, the kind that plays in the sky on a broomstick."

"That's right."

Harley nodded incomprehensibly, it didn't sound very interesting, but the wizards seemed interested. Even a haughty girl like Kassandra was excited when she mentioned Quidditch.

"Kassandra!"

At this moment, outside Mrs. Morkin's robe store, a woman's shout was heard.

"Ah, it's Mommy."

Kassandra exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly said:

"I have to go, we'll talk next time."

She said goodbye to Ash with some reluctance and ran out in a hurry.

On the street, a tall, fair-skinned woman looked haughtily at the wizards who came and went, only smiling when she saw Kassandra.

Harley muttered quietly:

"They all look equally arrogant."

Ash stretched out his hands and asked Lady Morkin to pin his black robe, and explained with a smile:

"Normally, many wizarding families with a long tradition are like this. He thinks he is high and arrogantly looks down on ordinary wizards. ”

After a pause, Ash sighed softly:

"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is."

Harley repeated the sentence in a whisper, her eyes brightening. Although I don't understand it very well, I always feel that it makes sense!

Mrs. Morkin smiled and said:

"I've tried, dear."

"Three plain robes, a plain peaked hat during the day, a pair of protective gloves, and a winter cloak, for a total of 5 Galleons."

"5 Galleons?" Ash fell silent.

Some people may think that a few clothes for 5 Galleons are expensive.

But Ash really thinks it's not expensive, a hundred years ago 5 Galleons, and now it's still 5 Galleons, it's been this price for so many years, where is it expensive?

At the current exchange rate, £5 is worth 1 gold galleon.

In 1991, the average salary in Britain was £11,417 per year, which translates to £219.5 per week.

That is, the average Englishman can buy these clothes for a day's salary.

Of course, this cannot be done in the accounts.

After all, gold galleons cannot be exchanged for pounds, and the privilege of exchanging pounds for gold gallons is only for some Muggles who have just entered the school, and there is a strict limit on the amount. In general, these are two non-interference monetary systems.

But even if you use the average income of the wizarding world, 5 Galleons is not expensive.

After all, these robes come with automatic ironing and repair, and they're worth the price.

The only problem now is that although Ash doesn't think it's expensive, he doesn't have any money.

Seeing his embarrassment, Hallie tugged at his sleeve and whispered in her ear:

"Ash, I have a lot of gold galleons, I can lend you some."

"No, you don't."

Ash looked at the girl's sincere expression and shook his head with a smile.

What kind of thing is eating soft rice?

He didn't really have any money, so it was a big deal to blow up the gold coins of this old thing Dumbledore and put the account on him.

Then again, where did Snape die?

Even if he and Snape hadn't been able to teleport to the same fireplace, Diagon Alley wasn't that big, so Snape wouldn't have been found until now, right? Or did he not look for it at all?

No, though nominally Snape had come to familiarize him with the terrain.

But in fact, both sides knew that Snape was sent by Dumbledore to spy on him, so it was impossible not to come to him.

So......

Ash looked out the window on the street, catching Snape standing across the street, dressed in a black robe and sallow skin. At this moment, Snape was staring at him intently through the window, as if he were looking at him.

Ash quickly withdrew her gaze and looked at the girl with a sincere face.

Snape wasn't Dumbledore, so he didn't covet his beauty, he could only look at Harry.

Ash had never seen Lily, and the girl in front of her was very different from the Lily in the movie, in short, Hallie was much better looking than the Lily in the movie - like a work of art carved from heaven, one in heaven and one in the ground.

But it was not difficult to see from Snape's eyes that he saw Lily's shadow in Harry.

Ash said apologetically to Hallie and Mrs. Morkin:

"Wait for me, I'll be right back."

He turned and walked out of the shop, heading straight for Snape across the street.

Snape was still looking at the girl in the clothing store through the window, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Ash asked coldly:

"Professor Snape, are you a pervert?"

"What?"

Snape finally came to his senses, and the corners of his eyes twitched at the corners of his eyes that he seemed to have been misunderstood as a pervert with a peculiar fetish. This silenced Snape for a long time, and then whispered with some difficulty:

She ...... I know her mother. ”

"Got it."

Ai Xu nodded knowingly.

"You know what?" Snape frowned, what do you know about him and Lily, you know an old thing a hundred years ago?

Ash glanced at him and said unhurriedly:

"I need someone to pay for me, do you give me the money yourself, or do you go and pay for me yourself? Maybe you can talk. ”

Snape walked silently towards the clothing store.

He walked up to Mrs. Morkin and asked:

"How much?"

Mrs. Morkin glanced at Ash, who had come in with him, and said:

"5 Galleons."

Snape silently took out the money to pay, but the rest of the eyes kept looking at the girl beside him.

Ash introduced to Hallie:

"Severus Snape, he's the Potions professor at Hogwarts."

"This is my friend, Harry Potter."

As a freshman about to enter the school, Harley couldn't help but be a little nervous when she heard the words of the Potions professor, and said worriedly:

"Hello, Professor Snape."

Frankly, Professor Snape looked a little scary.

He has a large hooked nose, which makes him look a little scary. Shoulder-length, greasy black hair, clinging to his face like a curtain, made him look thinner and more ...... Well, mean.

Severus Snape stretched out his hand, as if to touch her hair, but he restrained himself, withdrew his hand, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Hallie, you're a lot like your mother."

It's good, there's not a single trace of James on her.

His eyes were extremely gentle, as if he had seen that gentle girl again, it was his white moonlight.

Harley couldn't help but ask:

"Professor Snape, do you know my mother?"

"Acquaintance."

Snape replied softly, and after a long silence, he said:

"We were friends, very good friends, and we used to be."

Harley saw remorse in Snape's eyes, and she knew that something bad must have happened between him and his mother.

Harley didn't know what to say, she was just a child and didn't know how to comfort an adult.

Subconsciously, the girl looked at Ash for help.

Ash received the girl's eyes for help, gave her a reassuring look, and asked with a smile:

"Professor Snape, you seem to hate her father?"
