The latest chapter in the Harry Potter Bastard novel

Coming out of Ollivander, Solim took Silna to buy the rest.

“Are you going to the Babbling Owl Shop or are you going to the Magic Zoo?” Solim asked Silna.

Only owls are sold in the Babbling Owl Shop, and Harry’s Hedwig was bought from here. The Magic Zoo has it all. Hermione’s Crooksberg was bought from here.

“The magical zoo,” Silna said, “we basically don’t need owls or anything.” ”

Magic Zoo is a very crowded, noisy pet store full of all kinds of animal calls. The owner of the shop is a female owner wearing heavy black-framed glasses and selling a wide variety of animals.

Seeing that there was business coming early in the morning, the female owner who was processing animal waste, and feeding breakfast to the animals greeted warmly.

“Are you here to buy a pet?” What kind of do you want? We have it all here! ”

“Weird and weird, let’s do something normal.” You tell me? Solim looked at his sister, “Cats and dogs are good.” ”

Silna ignored Solim’s words, she seemed to be in a daze now.

“Silna?” Solim shouted.

“Well? Did you just hear something? Silna began to look around the room.

Glancing at his sister, Solim said to the female boss: “Let’s pick and choose ourselves first, and tell you when we pick it.” ”

The female boss turned around and began to busy herself with the things in the store.

“What did you hear?”

“Just here… I can’t say it, anyway, I can be sure that just now there are not only the three of us talking, but also a voice. ”

Solim narrowed his eyes.

“Listen!” Silna apparently heard that voice again.

But Solim didn’t hear anything, and the sound inside the store was too noisy. The sounds of various animals are mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish a particular sound.

“He said he was a little cold.” Silna looked back at Solim.

Animal? Cold? No way?

Solim looked at his sister, took her hand and began to walk around the shop, as if looking for something.

“That’s it, Silna, listen, isn’t it?” Solim took Silna to a cage.

Solim, who had been paying attention to Silna, noticed that his sister’s expression began to change.

“I… I’m a…” Silna’s expression was strange, shocked, scared, excited, excited, and these were all shown on her face at the same time, and it would indeed be strange.

“That’s right, it should be.” Solim was also surprised, he never thought that his sister would be a parseltongue. This year, I will meet a snake, and my sister, who is just about to enter school, is a parseltongue, which is simply …

“Don’t tell anyone about it.” Solim pulled Silna up, “But how did you not know that you were a…”

Silna glanced at Solim and did not speak. Seeing Silna’s expression, Solim also came back, where did the snake come from in Selwyn’s castle? Naturally, this talent of Silna has never been revealed.

“You want this?” Solim crouched down and looked at the snake in the cage. It was a white snake with turquoise eyes and a small, pointed horn on its head.

“Oh, you guys have such an eye!” The female boss didn’t know when she touched it and started her sales, “This snake is very rare to have the bloodline of the long-horned water snake, have you seen the pointed horn on its head?” It’s still small, and when it grows, the horn will be useful. ”

Both Solim and Silna knew what the female boss was talking about. The horns of the longhorned water snake can be used to make wands and are expensive.

“Okay, that’s it, Silna, you have to treat it well.” Solim stood up and said to the boss: “This snake, plus that cat.” Solim pointed to a cage at the top of the shelf. It was a cat with a black body, and no variegated color could be seen. The whole body was black and shiny, and Solim saw it as soon as he entered the store.

“The black cat?” The female boss rubbed her hands.

Solim noticed the boss’s hesitation.

“What’s wrong? Is there anything wrong? ”

“She is very picky, it turns out that there are people who like her, but she doesn’t go with others at all.” The female boss sighed, “Or you go and try it, if she is willing to go with you, I will sell it, if she is not willing, you don’t force it, there are other cats in our store.” You look over there, it’s the ginger one, his name is Crookshanks, how is he? ”

Solim followed the direction the boss pointed and saw the ginger cat.

His face was as if he had been slapped by a pan, and that fat, furry tail.

Sure enough, it was Crookshanks, how could Hermione fall for this? Solim complained in his heart.

Looking at the black cat in front of him, Solim found that this black cat still had different pupils, one golden and one green. Solim stretched out his hand and touched the black cat’s small paws. As a result, the black cat quickly withdrew its paw and pressed it on the back of Solim’s hand.

“Haha, cat’s paw on the law!” Solim started middle two.

“Will you come with me?” Scratching the black cat’s chin, Solim turned to look at the female boss: “Does she have a name?” ”

“You can pick one for her, she seems to like you.”

Finally, Solim and Silna walk out of the magical zoo with their pets.

Luna stood on Solim’s shoulder, curiously looking at the outside world, this was the first time she saw the scene outside the shop – the name Luna was acquired by Silna. Her little white snake is called Telles. The little white snake was now wrapped around Silna’s wrist.

“Don’t you think… Panicked? Solim couldn’t understand his sister’s behavior.

With a blank look at Solim, Silna didn’t say anything.

“Okay, next, it’s time for us to go shopping for clothes.” Solim changed the subject, “Where do you want to go?” Ready-to-wear store? Or go to the Madame Morgin Robe Store? ”

Most wizards choose to go to Lady Morkin, mainly because it is cheap, and of course, the quality of Lady Morkin’s robes is also good. But compared to ready-to-wear stores, there are not so many styles and functions.

“I don’t know, brother, you have an idea.” Silna usually doesn’t have much opportunity to come to Diagon Alley, and she doesn’t know much about the shops here.

Secretly feeling the weight of his purse, Solim took Silna to the ready-to-wear store with confidence. I have to say that the decoration of the ready-to-wear store looks more high-grade than that of Mrs. Morkin.

After coming out, Solim touched his purse with distress, his galleon was almost bottoming out, and it was estimated that there would be nothing left after helping Silna buy crucibles, potion materials and so on.

“By the way, the problem just now in the wand shop, explain to me, why do wands sell so cheaply?” Silna asked, “The materials are more than that.” Ollivander won’t be trading at a loss all the time, will he? ”

Touching Luna in his arms, Solim began to explain to Silna.

Wands are a necessity for wizards. But the materials that can make wands are very expensive, and many ordinary wizards cannot afford this price. Let’s talk about the wand of the dragon heartstring, each dragon heart string wand means killing a dragon. No matter what kind of dragon it is, there is no place to sell it cheaply. Even the cheapest dragon dung costs two gallons a barrel. Not to mention the dragon heartstrings.

What if the average wizard can’t afford the price? Don’t you need a magic wand? The Ministry of Magic came up with a way to let Ollivander sell his wands to wizards cheaply, and the difference in between was replenished by the Ministry of Magic in the form of wand materials. But that’s limited to every wizard’s first wand. The second root is the full amount.

How expensive is a full wand? A wand with the most common unicorn tail hair will sell for seventy to eighty galleons. The Minister of Magic earns only four hundred galleons a month. The most common wand is so expensive, but what about the dragon wand? The price of a dragon staff is between one hundred and twenty and two hundred and forty galleons, which means that even if he is the Minister of Magic, a dragon staff can be worth half a month’s salary.

How can you call ordinary wizards afford this? Think of Ron Weasley, he is still using his brother’s old wand, and even the core of the unicorn’s tail hair is exposed, which is not willing to be changed. The Weasleys’ financial situation is really unaffordable, and in general, wizarding families who are not very wealthy do not buy wands for their children too early, and they generally tend to use the old wands of their elders for their children. When your child’s magic is stable, go to Ollivander and buy a new wand, which can save a lot of money.

By the time Solim bought all the things for Silna and returned to the Leaky Cauldron for lunch, he had already spent a full 450 galleons.

Simply presumptuous! Solim thought to himself.
