Chapter XXIV: The Thales Manuscript

In the crowded Diagon Alley, Muen reappeared, and immediately saw Harry, who had returned from shopping, and the two children were still holding the Barilla cone from the Florin Volkswagen Ice Cream Shop.

Harry saw Mu En in the crowd and beckoned, "Uncle Mu En, where have you been?" ”

"I met a friend and brought me some gifts." Muen said, handing Harry the parchment-wrapped box.

Harry also took out the gold silk cloth bag that Gringotts had given him and stuffed the box inside.

"Mr. Jones, are you all else? If you have time, how about a light meal in London? Chris got up and said.

"Of course, but I'll have to go to the Potions store to buy some ingredients." Mu En nodded, but did not refuse. The Granger family seems to be getting along quite well.

Afterwards, Munn went to the potion shop and bought a lot of what looked like ... Weird stuff. Then the group returned the same way from the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

The two adults also went to the record store next to the Leaky Cauldron Bar.

In a French restaurant on Charing Cross Street, a group of people chatted casually. Chris clearly wanted to know more about the wizarding world. Maybe it's because it's about his baby daughter, so he seems a little anxious.

As for Hermione, she didn't think about it that much, she wasn't very happy. Because Diagon Alley doesn't charge pounds, she reads a lot of books, but she can't afford to buy them.

It was also at this time that Mu En learned that there was a limit to the exchange of pounds for Galleons. That's a welfare policy for Hogwarts students only, and there's a redemption cap.

Harry, on the other hand, was excited to share with Hermione interesting stories about what happened in Moonlight Castle with Munn's permission. It didn't take long for Hermione to mind the Diagon Alley affair that much.

Although she also has a strong curiosity about magic, it is really not as important as the following school year.

At least that's what Hermione thought...

Once here, the Granger family learns of Harry Potter's real name, but does not explain why they hide it.

After eating, Chris learned that several people lived in Surrey, and even offered to send Muen home, but Muen politely refused.

A hand of apparition was also performed for them.

……

After returning to Moonlight Castle, Mu En lay lazily on the sofa, only feeling comfortable

It's been a long time since I've been out and about like this.

"Harry, give me the manuscript of Ancient Greece." Mu En said lazily.

When he had seen the manuscript in Boginbock's shop before, he had noticed that it was extraordinary.

Some of the runes on that note bear too many similarities to the runes on the Sword of Tritong that he captured in Blackbeard's hands in the Caribbean.

Muen's current research interests are two, both from the Caribbean.

One is from Triton's Sword captured from Blackbeard. The other is a trident obtained from the depths of the sea.

He didn't care about the curses on the sea, the artifacts, even the power of David Jones.

All a true wizard needs is the occult knowledge behind the power of these curses or artifacts.

As long as he can successfully parse it, he can take it one step closer.

With that in mind, he took the book out of the display case. Later, it was discovered that although this manuscript was only a fragment, it came from the seven sages of ancient Greece, Thales.

Although Muen is not sure if it is from Thales himself, or if it is a copy of a follower in later generations.

But it's unbelievable that a note of this level would end up in a dark magic item store.

Just then, Harry handed the manuscript to Muen as well.

Looking at the expression on Harry's face, Mu En was curious, "Are you so happy today?" ”

Harry smiled awkwardly, "No... I was just... Well, Hermione was my first friend. ”

After speaking, Harry was a little unsure: "Uncle Muen, is this a friend?" ”

Harry had never had friends before, he was always the one to be bullied at school, and no one wanted to be friends with him, because that would mean being an enemy of Dudley.

As a result, Harry is now... I don't even know what it means to be a friend.

"Of course, I think it's a friend." Mu En thought about it and nodded.

A smile suddenly appeared on Harry's face, and Muen turned to ask, "How long is it until you start school?" ”

"There is still half a month." Harry replied.

Mu En nodded: "Then then, if it's okay, you can go out for a walk more, the work of the castle has been almost done, there is no need to be bored here every day." ”

Harry was a little happy, then suddenly thought of something and shook his head: "Forget it, I'll be fine when I go out." Dudley, when they see me outside, they will trouble me..."

By reading the history by heart, he already knew that wizards must now be hidden among ordinary people. He didn't have the idea of getting revenge on Dudley after learning magic.

Mu En stood up: "Whatever you want, or you go to the mountains and ride a broomstick or something." ”

"Really?" Harry looked at the broomstick meteor with some excitement.

Mu En didn't look back: "Just pay attention to safety." By the way, the next spell is [Clean Up], get familiar with it within a week. ”

"Okay!" Harry nodded hurriedly.

Seeing Muen descend the basement, Harry looked at the meteor that was jumping towards him, and grabbed its broomstick with some excitement.

It is obviously also suffocated, and as a flying broomstick, it can only be reduced to sweeping the floor at home every day.

Just when Meteor thought that the two of them could finally go out and fly, it didn't expect Harry to suddenly let go of his hand.

Harry apologized, "I'm sorry Meteor, I think I'd better get the job done first."

We'll clean up first, then I'll learn the spells Uncle Muen said, and then we'll go out and have fun. ”

The broom handle of the meteor drooped down like a noodle, expressing its loss.

Then, the broom head moved back to the corner of the wall, and leaned against the wall with resentment.

Harry smiled awkwardly and walked up to the closet on the second floor, where he hadn't folded the clothes he had retrieved this morning...

Knock Knock Knock –

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Lucifer peeked out of the fireplace with his sleepy eyes: "Privet road finding." ”

After saying that, he shrank back to sleep.

Harry hurriedly walked over, and with a clang, the turntable on the door pointed to Privet Road, and he opened the door.

Outside the door, there was a familiar face of Harry, Mrs. Hudson, who lived next door.

"Oh, little Potter, why are you here. Didn't I remember you didn't live at Four Privet Road? Mrs. Hudson exclaimed.

"Hello, Mrs. Hudson, here I am... Play. Harry casually said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Mrs. Hudson said, "Oh, it's nothing, I want to ask if there's a lawn mower here?" My lawn mower is halfway through and I don't know why it's broken. I'd like to borrow it from the owner so I can mow the lawn. ”

Lawn mower...

Harry thought back for a moment and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Uncle Muen doesn't have a lawnmower. ”

Hearing this answer, Mrs. Hudson sighed: "Well, it seems that I can only ask the other neighbors again." Have fun, little Porter. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Hudson." Harry smiled in response, looking at Mrs. Hudson's departing back, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Perhaps, he could subtly use magic to change something, just like before.

It's just that he couldn't control it before, but now it's not, he can control it, and even do it better...

"Mrs. Hudson, if you don't mind, may you show me the lawn mower?"
