After coming out of Ollivander's, Solim took Silna to buy the remaining things.

"Are you going to the Eela Owl Shop or the Magic Zoo? Solim asked Silna.

The Owl Shop only sells owls, and Harry’s Hedwig was bought from here. The Magical Zoo has everything. Hermione’s Crookshanks is from here. bought

""Magical Zoo," Sirna said:"We basically don't need owls or anything like that.""

The Magic Zoo is a very crowded pet store full of noises and noises from all kinds of animals. The store owner is a female owner wearing thick black-rimmed glasses and sells all kinds of animals. I saw people there early in the morning. When business comes to your door, the female boss who is dealing with animal feces and feeding breakfast to the animals greets her warmly.

"Are you here to buy a pet? What do you want? We have it all here!"

"Let’s not talk about the weird ones, let’s talk about the normal ones. What do you think? Solim looked at his sister,"Cats and dogs are good.""

Sirna ignored Solim's words. She seemed to be in a daze now.

"Sirna?"Solim shouted

"kindness? Did you just hear something? Sirna began to look around the room.

After glancing at her sister, Solim said to the female boss:"Let us choose for ourselves first, and I will tell you when we have made our choice.""

The female boss turned around and started busy with things in the store.

"What did you hear?"

"Just now... I can't tell. Anyway, I can confirm that there were more than three of us talking here just now, and there was also a voice."

Solim narrowed his eyes.

"listen!"Silna obviously heard the sound again.

But Solim didn't hear anything. The sound in the store was too noisy. The sounds of various animals were mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish a specific one. the sound of

"He said he was a little cold."Sirna looked back at Solim.

Animal? Cold? No way?

Solim looked at his sister, took her hand and started walking around the store, as if she was looking for something.

"This is it, Sirna, listen, is it this?"Solim brought Sirna to a cage.

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

"I...I am a……"Sirna's expression was very strange. She was shocked, scared, excited, and excited. It would be really strange if all of these were displayed on her face at the same time.

"Yes, that should be it."Solim was also surprised. He never thought that his sister could be a Parselmouth. He will encounter snakes this year, and his sister who is just about to enter school is a Parseltongue. This is simply……

"Don't tell anyone about this. Solim pulled Sirna up,"But why didn't you know that you were a……"

Sirna rolled her eyes at Solim and said nothing. Seeing Sirna's expression, Solim also thought about it. Where did the snake come from in Selwyn Castle? Naturally, Sirna's talent has never been revealed.

"Do you want this?"Solim squatted down and looked at the snake in the cage. It was a white snake with green eyes, and a small, pointed horn emerged from the snake's head.

"Oh, you are so discerning! The female boss touched her at some point and started her sales pitch,"This snake is very rare and has the blood of a long-horned water snake. Have you seen the sharp horn on its head?" It's still small now, but when it grows up, that horn will be useful."

Solim and Sirna both knew what the female boss was talking about. The horns of the long-horned water snake can be used to make wands, which are expensive.

"Okay, that's it, Sirna, you have to treat it well. Solim stood up and said to the boss:"This snake, plus the cat.""Solim pointed to a cage at the top of the shelf. It was a completely black cat, with no variegated color at all. The whole body was black and shiny. Solim saw it as soon as he entered the store.

"That 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 some people like her, but she doesn't go with others at all. The female boss sighed,"Why don't you try it? If she is willing to follow you, I will sell it. If she is not willing, don't force it. We have other cats in the store." Look over there, that's the ginger one. His name is Crookshanks. How is he?"

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

His face looked like it had been slapped with a pan, and the fat, fluffy tail.

Sure enough, it was Crook. Mountain, how did Hermione fall in love with this? Solim complained in his mind.

Looking at the black cat in front of him, Solim realized that this black cat still had different eyes, one golden and one green. Solim stretched out his hand and touched the black cat's little paw. As a result, the black cat quickly took out his paw and pressed it on the back of Solim's hand.

"Haha, the cat’s claws are on top!"Solim started his second year of middle school.

"Will you come with me?"Tickling the black cat's chin, Solim turned to look at the female boss:"Does she have a name?"

"You can get one for her, she seems to like you."

Finally, Solim and Sirna walked out of the Magic Zoo with their pets.

Luna stood on Solim's shoulder and looked curiously at the world outside. This was the first time she saw the scene outside the store—— The name Luna was given to Sirna. Her little white snake is called Teles. This little white snake is currently wrapped around Sirna's wrist.

"Don’t you feel...frightened?"Solim couldn't understand his sister's behavior.

She rolled her eyes at Solim, and Sirna 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?" Tuofan clothing store? Or go to Madam Malkin's Robe Store?"

Most wizards will choose to go to Madam Malkin's, mainly because it is cheap. Of course, the quality of Madam Malkin's robes is also good. But compared to Tuofan Clothing Store, there are not so many styles and functions.

"I don't know, brother, you can make up your mind."Silna usually has no chance to come to Diagon Alley, and she doesn't know much about the store information here. She felt the weight of her purse secretly, and Solim took Sirna to the Tuofan clothing store with confidence. No wonder. Not to mention, the decoration of Tuofan Clothing Store looks better than Madam Malkin's.

After coming out, Solim touched his wallet distressedly. His Galleons were almost at the bottom, so he probably bought it for Sirna. After finishing the cauldron and potion ingredients, there will be nothing left.

"By the way, please explain to me the question I just asked in the wand shop. Why are wands sold so cheaply? Sirna asked,"Those materials cost more than this." Isn't Ollivanders always doing money-losing business?"

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

Wands are a necessity for wizards. But the materials used to make wands are very expensive, and many ordinary wizards cannot afford the price. Just say A dragon heartstring wand. Each dragon heartstring wand means killing a dragon. No matter what kind of dragon it is, there is no place where it can be sold cheaply. Even the cheapest dragon dung costs two plus A barrel. Not to mention a dragon heartstring.

What if ordinary wizards can't afford the price? Don't they use wands? The Ministry of Magic thought of a way to let Ollivander sell wands to wizards cheaply, and the difference in price will be paid by the magic The Ministry supplies Ollivander in the form of wand materials. But this is only limited to the first wand of each wizard. The second one is the full price.

How expensive is the full price wand? A common unicorn tail Mao's wand costs seventy to eighty Galleons. The Minister of Magic's monthly salary is only four hundred Galleons. The most common wand is so expensive, but what about the dragon wand? A dragon wand. The price is between one hundred and twenty to two hundred and forty galleons, which means that even for the Minister of Magic, a dragon staff can be worth half a month's salary.

How can you expect ordinary wizards to afford this? Get up? Think about Ron Weasley, he is still using his brother's old wand, even the core of the unicorn tail hair is exposed, and he is not willing to change it.

The financial situation of the Weasley family is really changing.

I can’t afford it.

Generally speaking, less wealthy wizarding families will not buy wands for their children too early.

They generally tend to use their elders’ old wands for their children.

Wait until the child’s magic power stabilizes before going to Ollivander’s You can save a lot of money by buying a new wand there.

When Solim bought all the things for Silna and returned to the Leaky Cauldron to prepare for lunch, he had already spent a full 450 Galleons..This is simply presumptuous! Solim thought to himself.
