I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 13
With money in his pocket, he didn’t panic. With the blessing of money, Ian spent less than two hours buying more than a dozen necessary items listed on the admission notice, and chatting with Mrs. Malkin was not included. quarter of an hour.

Not only that, but he also bought all the textbooks for grades 1-3 in case of emergencies.As for why I didn't buy books for the fourth grade, I got the answer after asking old Tom. Although he is 14 years old according to the year, his birthday is September 9.

And Hogwarts has its own magical contract. Birthdays after September 9st, even if it is just one day, are all counted as the next year in the book of access.

After buying all the items on the list, and most of them went through the owl mail service, Ian walked to the Quidditch boutique on the side of the road with a relaxed body.

Ian has long planned to buy a broomstick and a box with an infinite extension spell added. Because of the living environment in the last days, a broomstick can well avoid more than 80% of parasite perception.

There is no blind spot in the air vision, as long as you carefully avoid the birds stagnant on the roof or trees, then the high altitude is a natural safe zone.As for the box that released the magic of infinite extension, this kind of space equipment is simply a necessary artifact for survival in the last days.

However, Ian does not intend to buy boxes in Diagon Alley right now. He learned that because of the Ministry of Magic’s regulations on the use of infinite extension spells, the suitcase can only double its size, so he doesn’t plan to go through formal channels. Bought.

In fact, it was more because of the showdown between him and Dumbledore, thus gaining the promise and trust of the principal, and letting the greatest white wizard in this world make an infinitely extending backpack for himself in private. Isn't it delicious?
Newt's kind of space is not extravagant, but at least tens of square meters, the size of two or three houses, is still within reach for Dumbledore.

Quidditch broomsticks are obviously the favorite products of young wizards. As soon as Ian walked to the door, he saw countless children gathered here, looking at a beautiful broomstick in the window and screaming again and again.

Even if school starts tomorrow, and there are still a lot of summer homework unfinished, they still can't resist their love for Quidditch and their pursuit of the new broom.

It is natural to watch the excitement, and Ian also wants to know what kind of broom is surrounded by so many children.I saw a small wooden sign hanging next to the broomstick, with the name, model and specific parameters of this style written on it.

Go closer and take a closer look, Huo!Nimbus 2000.Sorry to bother you, goodbye~
The drooling expressions of the children, and the parents standing behind them and smiling wryly at each other, it was obvious that such a high-priced luxury was not only unaffordable for Ian, but also for most ordinary wizarding families.

Although Ian didn't intend to buy this seemingly expensive thing, he opened the door curiously and asked the price after entering.

"The new product is on the market. It only costs 450 Galleons during the summer vacation. Today is the last day of the discount." The store owner smiled like a 200-pound child.

"!!!"

He was shocked. Although he had sold gold for a huge sum of 1000 Galleons before, he never thought that a broom could be sold for such an expensive price.A latest model of Nimbus 2000 is roughly equivalent to Arthur Weasley working without food or drink for four months...

Arthur Weasley: ...

Regarding this Ferrari in the magical world, Ian said that it is still according to the plan, honestly buying an old antique that can fly is enough.

The display of the broomsticks on the shelf is divided into series, the Nimbus series, the Comet series, and the Sweeping series.

The store owner obviously noticed that this guy in front of him was different from those kids who came in for free whoring, he was really planning to buy it, so he enthusiastically continued to introduce other models of brooms in the Nimbus series.

But even the so-called Nimbus old models, after Ian glanced at the prices of these old models, he was still speechless, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said: "Boss, this series doesn't look very cool, the ones hanging over there What is it?"

In fact, in addition to the three major series, there are many single-product brooms hanging in the store at the back of the store.

"Silver Arrow Seven Nine, excellent durability and wind resistance, balanced speed, stable start, especially suitable for you to practice Quidditch in school, safe and stable..."

Ian interrupted his introduction speechlessly, "The speed is balanced? The start is smooth? Does this mean that this broom is not only slow, but also accelerates like a drunk?"

The boss shrugged, "But it's safe, isn't it? And you're still young, you don't understand, men can't be too fast, this kind of stable broom is the best."

Ian really didn't expect that this would allow him to drive.And is it really okay to say this to a student?

Seeing that Ian's face darkened, the boss came to another broom resentfully, "Fiery, explosive starting speed, straight-line flight is second to none, but the shortcomings are also very obvious, lack of climbing power...

Moreover, the flexibility in the air is poor. Don't expect it to turn within three meters. It flies like a crazy donkey. If you want to turn at least 5 meters away, you will start to deviate.

So too many people were hit head-on while riding it, and because of this, it was discontinued in less than half a year, and the few remaining handles I have here are almost all out of date. "

These single-product brooms have various problems. Considering that I have to guard against parasitic birds at all times, starting acceleration and flying speed are the most important.So I gave up the comfort and stability of the household broom, and chose the sports broom - the hot type.

However, the popular species also has a fatal problem, that is, because the production has been discontinued for too long, there are almost no spare parts for replacement.

In other words, this broom is infinitely close to one-time use. As long as there is a scratch or collision, it will immediately go on strike. Don't expect the possibility of replacing parts for repair.

Based on the principle of saving money, Ian immediately seized this opportunity and started a see-saw bargaining model with the store owner.

"Hey, you can't measure its value just by its practicality. Out-of-print, out-of-print, understand? This means that it may become an antique in the future. It's that kind of rare antique, so it's worth more than a few thousand galleons... "

Seeing the boss using his unique glib tone and wanting to continue his sophistry, which seemed to be intentional, Ian interrupted mercilessly:
"120 Galleons, that's it, or I'll leave, and then you can continue to collect this 'out-of-print treasure' until it appreciates to several thousand Galleons."

After some wrangling, Ian got his wish and got his first broomstick for 125 Galleons.

After reconfirming that everything planned for today was completed, when we returned to the Leaky Cauldron, it was already dark.

After enjoying a delicious dinner prepared by Old Tom, Ian took a look at the empty bar at this time and felt that staying here would be boring, so he went straight back to his room to pack all the items he would bring to school tomorrow.
