Chapter 14: The same people don't have the same fate

Walking out of Gringotts, Ash advised:

"I suggest you go to Lady Morkin's robes shop to buy clothes, then go to the next Blotted bookstore to buy the textbooks on the list, there is a potion shop nearby where you can buy crucibles and scales, and finally go to the Ollivanders Wand Shop to buy wands, this route is the most time-saving."

"By the way, the price of a wand is 7 Galleons, so I'd advise you not to spend too much Galleons at the bookstore."

"Thank you."

Mr. Granger counted out five gold Galleons from his bag and handed them to Ash, and said sincerely:

"It's your reward, thank you so much for your help."

"Thank you."

Ash smiled and took the money from Mr. Granger and handed George one of the Galleons.

George was visibly surprised, but quickly showed a happy expression.

If he could earn a gold Galleon so easily, then he should probably stay in Diagon Alley all the time to host Muggle parents!

"Ash!"

There was a shout in the distance, and Percy and Fred ran towards them, Percy holding a broom wrapped in brown paper.

"Halo 2000!" George's gaze was immediately attracted by the broom, and he couldn't take his eyes off it at all.

Before leaving, Mr. Granger remembered the name and thought that he would have to buy one for his daughter later.

It can't be that any other wizard has it, but Hermione doesn't have it, right?

Ash asked:

"Is it going well?"

"It went very well!"

Fred's eyebrows fluttered, "You don't know the way those people look at us, 'Get a light wheel 2000, thank you', Merlin's beard, Percy was so handsome when he said this!" ”

Percy handed the purse and broom to Ash, his face flushed from his excitement.

Ash took the broomstick, put the money bag back in his pocket, and took out two more Galleons and handed them to each of them, much to Fred and Percy's pause.

Ash explains:

"This is Mr. Granger's payment, five in all."

"I have it too." George showed off his gold Galleon.

"Okay then." Percy hesitated, but took it.

Fred whispered, "Five Galleons, are Muggles so rich?" ”

As George's brother, it was only natural that he could host those Muggle parents in Diagon Alley and earn their Galleons.

They wandered around Diagon Alley for a while, and Ash bought each of them a small gift and a whole bunch of snacks, and eventually everyone returned to the Weasleys' 'Burrow' with Floo powder in their bags.

On the other hand, the Granger family buys the items on the list according to Ash's advice, and eventually buys a wand at the Ollivanders wand shop for 7 Galleons, a vine wood wand with a core of a dragon's heartstring, nine and three-quarters inches.

Mrs. Granger looked at the remaining Garons and said:

"I think we should buy Hermione a broomstick, what do you think? My dear. ”

"That's what I thought too."

Mr. Granger nodded, and led his wife and daughter to the Quidditch boutique on the side of the road, where the latest model of the Halo 2000 was displayed in the window.

They were received by a witch:

"What would you like to buy, sir?"

Mr. Granger didn't say he wanted to buy it directly, but asked cautiously:

"Halo 2000, well, how much does it cost?"

"599 Galleons." The witch said with a smile on her face:

"We just sold one, are you going to buy one too?"

Mr. Granger's expression froze, how much? 599 Galleons? That's almost 4 times the cost of Hogwarts tuition! Is a broom so expensive?

How did those kids afford it? Or are wizards so rich?

"Dad, I'm only in the first grade, so I don't need to have a broomstick so early." Hermione said thoughtfully.

"Oh, I think so."

The witch looked surprised and said:

"We're sorry, but Hogwarts doesn't allow first-year students to have private broomsticks, and we don't sell them to new students."

Mr. Granger breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt that there was a big trouble, and he looked at his wife with some embarrassment. They didn't linger any longer, and soon returned to the Leaky Cauldron at 1 Diagon Alley, from where they left Diagon Alley.

Surrey County, Little Whinging District, 4 Privet Road.

Harley sat on the bed and read the book in her hand by the light, with "Hogwarts: A School History" written on the cover.

Well, although this book is a history of Hogwarts and contains a lot of great events, Harley didn't really want to read it. Because it was so boring, Harley thought it was a great story, but it was written as boring as a math textbook, and Hallie almost fell asleep several times.

But in order to read the chapters related to 'Hero Black', Harley can only pat her face from time to time to cheer herself up.

Knock knock~!

A knock on the door interrupted Hallie's reading.

"Hallie, can I go in?" A somewhat hesitant female voice asked.

"Of course, Aunt Penny, the door is unlocked." Hallie replied.

Click!

The door to the room was opened, and a skinny blonde woman walked into the bedroom.

She was Hallie's aunt, Penny Dursley, and she had very light eyes.

"Hallie."

Penny looked at her and asked with some sternness:

"You've really decided to go to Huo...... Going to that school? ”

Hallie was silent for a moment, then said softly:

"Yes, Aunt Penny, I want to go."

She knew that her uncle's family hated magic and wizards, and they were extremely resistant to everything she could do with the wizarding world, hoping that she could live a normal life. Before Hogwarts wrote back, they had even found a prestigious aristocratic school for her.

But Harley still wanted to go, which was the school her parents attended.

Penny's expression was a little bitter, and she laughed at herself:

"I know, I know I can't stop you, just like I can't stop Lily."

Hallie's heart trembles, and Aunt Petunia rarely mentions her mother in front of her.

"I'm jealous of her."

Penny suddenly said, "I've always been jealous of her, jealous of her talent, jealous of her good luck, jealous that she could go to Hogwarts!" ”

Hallie pursed her lips, she didn't know why her aunt suddenly said this, she was a little scared.

Penny continues:

"I was like this since I was a child, my parents were proud of her, everyone liked her, but no one ever cared about me."

"When Lily got married, I didn't even go to her wedding because I was jealous of her!"

"I knew she must have been crying very sadly, but as if I would be happy this way, I deliberately didn't go, I thought I was taking revenge on her."

Penny said, a look of pain in her eyes:

"But the moment I learned of her death, I suddenly realized that no matter what, she was still my only sister!"
