My Classmate at Hogwarts is Voldemort

Chapter 5: The Wand Shop in Diagon Alley

   If you are lucky enough to be able to live in the magical world, what is the first thing you want to buy?

For Harry Potter, it may be a new flying broomstick; for Hermione Granger, it may be an esoteric spell book; for Tom Riddle, it may be a A powerful magic wand; and for Nelson, he prefers to obtain a history book of the magical world. He knows that manpower is endless and time is endless, and sometimes the unquestioned answer may be hidden in something that happened a long time ago. In a story. The curse cannot do many things, otherwise there would not be so many great wizards who have left their names in history to die with regret.

Nelson was standing in front of the bookshelf in the last row of Lihen Bookstore. The huge bookshelf occupying the entire wall was full of books. He had basically selected the textbooks that he and Tom needed for the first grade, and he was standing in front of the bookshelf at the moment. Thinking about it, this bookcase is full of dust on the innermost shelf. Unlike other bookshelves, there are so many books that need to be piled on the ground, and the ceiling is high—the ones stored here are not cared for, even for many years. History books that are updated once have no magic power, and the recorded stories are already in the past. For most wizards, the value of the most expensive book here is not as valuable as the latest "Daily Prophet".

"Uh, "Important Magic Events of the Nineteenth Century", this is not bad... "The Great Wizard of the Nineteenth Century", you can see it, and I can set it up for myself when they come to me to write "The Great Wizard of the Twentieth Century" A cool character... "Hogwarts, a school history", um~ buy a copy of this... "A History of Magic", how is it compiled by the Editorial Board of the History of Magic? It shouldn't be Bathilda Bagshot The book? Forget it, buy one."

  ...

The reason why Nelson was able to purchase expensive first-hand books so lavishly was due to a box that Aunt Bella took out of the basement when Dumbledore left yesterday. She took out a key from the box, "Professor Dumbledore, this The key was left by my sister and brother-in-law. It may be related to their legacy. I wonder if you know where it is? I hope it will help these two poor children in the wizarding society." La is a delicate and sensitive but strong woman. At the moment she settled down with her nephew, looking at her sister's belongings, she finally couldn't help but began to secretly wipe her tears.

"Let me see," Dumbledore turned out the key, "Oh... this is the key to a vault. Look at the address, it should be in Gringotts in France. Gringotts is a magic bank opened by fairies, a global chain "He explained to everyone, "It's not very convenient to get there from London, but you can withdraw some from Gringotts in Diagon Alley." Dumbledore handed the key to Nelson.

"Sorry, but I want to ask, after such a long time, will this bank—" Since the birth of the financial industry, the Williams family has been engaged in financial work for generations and has been accustomed to the various operations of the Bank of London. Bella couldn't help worrying about her nephew's wealth.

"Don't worry!" Dumbledore patted Nelson on the shoulder. "Even the fairies are greedy, but they will be able to pick up the key when they see it." He didn't explain much, only that he still had something to do in London. , Once again emphasized the route to Diagon Alley for Tom and Nelson and left.

  ...

"Mr. Williams!" The clerk at the Lihen Bookstore saw Nelson and ran to him, "We have already packed the book you ordered. We will ship it to you later, but there are still two copies of Adbe Ward. Flynn’s "Theory of Magic", there have been more freshmen at Hogwarts recently. This book is a little out of stock. Can we send it directly to Hogwarts after school starts?" He said like a cannonball. , I can’t help him not paying attention to it. The powerful magic books are hidden in the study rooms of various pure-blood families. Their usual business is only the school textbooks and some life magic books and entertainment books in the weekdays. It is rare to see such a large customer. "I noticed that the address you left seems to be a Muggle neighbourhood in London. Do you think you used an owl or—"

   "London's way." Nelson frowned. "However, we plan to prepare for homework during the holiday, so that we will not have such a textbook..."

The clerk looked at the pile of books Nelson had picked for fear of disrupting the business, so he concentrated on his wisdom and said hurriedly: "Sir, why not, our store will also accept some second-hand books, why not give you two second-hand books first? Yes, you can make do with it first. Although the version is old, the pages are old, but the content is the same..." Seeing Nelson's disgusting expression, he hurriedly added, "These two books are for you! No money! Waiting for us to restock. , I will send you the latest new book right away."

   Seeing Nal's brows stretched, he added, "Our bookstore will give you two more sets of automatic ink filling and leak-proof quill pens as compensation for customers who love books and knowledge like you..."

   Nelson felt comfortable being photographed. He pointed to the pile of history books he had just selected and said to the clerk: "Take these books—"

   "Gnar! Are you there?" The shout came from the door of the bookstore. The sound was not small, but the deliberately controlled voice did not affect the customers who selected books in the bookstore. This was Tom's voice.

   "Wrap these books and send them, and send the bills together, and I will send you the book fees." Nelson hurried to the door.

When he walked through the book shelf of the first grade class, he almost tripped over a little girl who was squatting on the ground looking at the bottom layer of books. He straightened up on the bookshelf and turned to look at the girl who was almost stepped on. She was wearing a With glasses covering half of her face, there were a few small freckles on her face, her skin was fair, and some babies were fat. At this moment, she looked at Nelson in a flustered face, shivering and afraid to speak.

   "Are you okay? I'm sorry I almost stepped on you just now." Nelson reached out his hand to her, trying to pull her up.

   The girl didn't seem to appreciate her, shaking her head, she was still rubbing back, and she was already leaning against the bookshelf. Nelson was a little confused. For the first time in many years, he had doubts about his appearance. He did not take back his outstretched hand. The two of them froze in place. The scene was a bit like Michelangelo’s mural "Genesis", but it should have been. Adam, who stretched out his hand, shrank in the corner...

   "Mettle, where have you been?" A woman's voice came, and the girl suddenly stood up with the bookshelf, backed two steps, turned and ran away.

   Nelson looked at his hands in the air, feeling a little funny, and turned around and walked to the door of the bookstore to find Tom.

  ...

"Why are you so inked?" As soon as he arrived, Tom said impatiently, "The great Mr. Riddle has bought us robes, crucibles, protective gear and all school supplies." His indifference only lasted. In less than half a second, he began to claim credit.

   "So we just need to buy the wand now?" Nelson ignored him, looking around, "Where is Ollivander's wand shop?"

"I've inquired about it before, and it's just a turn ahead." Tom then asked for credit, and the two of them walked forward. "Yes, there are pets. We also need a pet. I really don't understand why these people ask students for it. You have to bring pets to school, are you afraid that they are too lonely? Look at the list, toads, owls, cats! Slimy, squeaking or furry animals make me sick!"

"Toads have good tolerance to various potions and have a long lifespan. They should be used to assist in the study of potions; owls can be used to deliver letters; cats are the most common spiritual creatures, and cats are often It is helpful for the study of divination. I think the school has its own reasons for choosing these three animals, at least it can help campus life a bit." Nelson thought of the books he had just read about creatures and magic, and magical creatures. .

"It turned out to be like this... Then I will raise a toad. I'm too lazy to feed it. This kind of long-lived thing suits me... Hope I won't be killed by it..." Tom walked to the crossroad and pointed to an inconspicuous shop on his right. "Buy the wand there."

   Nelson looked at this small shop. The old blackened sign had already peeled off the gold letters. Nelson squinted and read:

   "Ollivander, has been making excellent wands since 382 BC"

   "Do I have a magic wand too?" Nelson adjusted his mind, calmed his breathing, and walked towards the magic wand shop with his leg raised.

   Tom has already walked into the store, Nelson opened the door, the magic wand shop store is very small, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com has only one bench in the middle of the house. Thousands of long and narrow boxes with magic wands are leaning against the wall and piled up almost to the ceiling. It looks shaky. The unique environment makes this shop look empty and crowded: it It’s empty, because there are few people in the house, and there is nothing to display; it’s crowded because every little wizard who has just entered the magical world will feel surrounded by countless and unique things when he walks into this shop. , A magical wizard.

   Nelson greeted Ollivander with his eyes, and quietly walked to Tom and stood still, Ollivander's voice floated to his ears, echoing in the empty room, looking psychedelic and ethereal.

   "Yes, it is the wizard who chooses them with the wand."

   He turned his face to Nelson suddenly, and his big silver eyes looked as if they were completely transparent, like a ghost with a solid body.

"Every magic wand will have a wonderful reaction with its destined wizard... This kind of reaction is more precise than blasting out a rough spell, than boiling some leaves in a cauldron, and more precise than them. A lot, a lot of splendor."

  Although Ollivander was still young in 1938, his mysterious appearance is not weaker than his old age. However, in fact, Ollivander is such a person, he treats the wand is extremely pure, this kind of belief trumps everything.

"Every time a freshman at Hogwarts enrolls, I get very excited-this kind of excitement has existed when I was an apprentice for my father, and it has endured." Ollivander looked left and right at Nelson and Tom, "Every young man in England takes away their destined wand from me and embarks on a wonderful life journey. This feeling is intoxicating."

   "Then, you two, who will first accept your destiny?"
