Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2 The Benefits of Being Rich

The blood of wizards is dying, especially the pure blood wizards. The population of wizards is very small, coupled with the low birth rate and intermarriage between nobles, there are even fewer newborns. In order for the magic to pass on, even half-blood wizards can enter Slytherin, which is advertised as a pure-blood house, so it is not surprising that there are shops opened by Muggle-born wizards in Diagon Alley.

The shop opened by nobles has a kind of high-ranking feeling, they are proud and reserved, and the clerks inside will not smile as warmly as the Muggle clerks next door, so the business is naturally not as good as other shops. Some people's business is booming, and some people go bankrupt. This is the law of elimination, but the nobles will not admit that they are the ones who made mistakes. They attribute the fault to those non-pure blood wizards. It is their intrusion that makes the nobles Business became so difficult that many shops that had been in business for centuries had to go out of business.

Without income and maintaining the tasteful life of nobles, one can imagine how difficult the life of the pure-blood wizards in the past was. However, poverty and pride will make them radical. The customers on the seemingly lively streets are in a hurry, as if they are unwilling to stay in Diagon Alley after buying something, just like Mrs. Sprout said , the current wizarding world is not suitable for an eleven-year-old girl to hang out.

Life still has to go on, and there are many pure-blood wizards who dare to put down their shelves to cater to the changes of the times. Lihen Bookstore was founded in 1694 and is the best bookstore in Diagon Alley. Hogwarts will open in September. Owls will be sent out after midsummer to deliver admission notices and a list of textbooks for the next school year, and you can buy almost all the books you need here. Pomona found that there was a new robe shop next door to it. The signboard of this shop was named after the hostess Mrs. Malkin. The shoppers who came and went here were all well-dressed and well-dressed, and their manners were very Decent and well-bred, it seems to be deliberately compared with the Lihen Bookstore, which is full of people coming and going, messy, and shouting everywhere.

Jamie, where are those invisibility books? Pomona heard someone ask just as she stepped into the door of Lihen Bookstore.

Damn it! They're gone again! screamed the poor clerk scratching his hair. I swear I'll never get into those bloody books again!

Do you want to go in? Pete asked her, and Pomona shook her head without hesitation. Before school started, Lihen Bookstore was the busiest time, and it was full of frizzy little boys and poor clerks who were about to collapse.

Then you wait for me at the door.

I want to visit the next door. Pomona pointed to the newly opened store next door and said, You can find me there later.

Are you sure? Pete looked at the well-dressed nobles and frowned.

Don't worry, this is a public place, they won't do anything to me.

Okay. Pete hesitated and agreed, But you can't talk to them, who knows if those purebreds will shoot a minor.

Pomona felt that Pete was completely overwhelmed. No matter how intense the conflict between pure blood and non-pure blood was, it would not harm the little wizard. Children represent hope, and every awakened wizard is precious.

After explaining, Pete held his wand, squeezed a passage through the crowd like Moses parting the Red Sea, and quickly disappeared from her sight, while Pomona turned around and went to the next door.

Hey, James, which house do you think you'll be sorted into?

Gryffindor, of course, what about you?

My mother wants me to go into Slytherin, but I'd rather go into Hufflepuff, at least the first house is definitely mine.

With the tinkling of the bell, the door of the robe shop was pushed open, and the voice of two well-dressed little wizards talking loudly attracted her attention, and Pomona hated the metaphor of the latter.

It is often said that the students of Hufflepuff College are the leftovers from other colleges, and Hufflepuff's requirements are not required, but in her opinion, this spirit symbolizes tolerance, which is the most scarce quality nowadays.

A man who thinks bravery is as precious as gold is an arrogant fool who doesn't know what it means to be approachable. The khaki earth can breed plants, wheat can make bread, grass can feed cattle and sheep, and gold can't fill the stomach.

Human nature is diverse and ever-changing. A brave person at one moment may become weak in an instant, and a wise person may be blinded by ambition. Loyalty can be betrayed, and integrity can become evil. When the entire wizarding society does not regard house-elves as one What happened was that Ms. Hufflepuff brought them into the Hogwarts kitchens and gave them work and shelter.

Fortunately, she kept Pete's explanation in mind, and she walked into the store quietly without talking to anyone. There was a smell of high-end perfume everywhere. The two people just talked without saving their volume. Everyone in the store Everyone heard what they said. When she entered the door, many people stared at the two who had just left. Although those gazes were not aimed at her, she still felt at a loss to be stared at by so many people.

She suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to wear such an unconventional skirt.

Is there anything I can do for you? Young lady? At this moment, a witch in a purple robe came over. She kindly covered Pomona from those searching eyes, with a gentle smile on her face. .

I need a robe. Pomona said nervously, suitable for Hogwarts reading style.

Her voice was not too loud, but it seemed abrupt in this quiet place, and someone hummed contemptuously from her nostrils.

Would you like a Hogwarts uniform, dear? I have quite a few in one size...

Of course it's custom-made. She was deliberately loud, interrupting her with a little French accent, Where do I want to measure.

Then you have to wait a moment, there is a young man in the back hall. The female clerk continued to smile and said, You can look at other clothes first, and call me if you like the style.

Then she left, while the nobles lowered their voices and talked in low voices, and she could hear words like Black and unfilial son from time to time.

The Black family is one of the most prominent pure-blood families in the UK. Perhaps the only one comparable to it is the Platinum family Malfoy. After her power awakened, Mrs. Sprout introduced to her the situation of those pure-blood nobles. Most of the members of the Black family are studying in Slytherin. The two boys who went out just now have black hair. Although I don’t know which one of them belongs to the Black family, but a Black who is determined to enter Gryffindor is very important to such a prominent family. To these pure-blood nobles, the harm is no less than having an illegitimate child with a non-human.

When she was wandering in the store, she still felt that unpleasant gaze. Men stared at her as if they were looking at a novelty item, while women looked at her with probing eyes, as if they were guessing at her. who are the parents of.

Mrs. Malkin! she suddenly shouted when she had had enough of the sights.

Have you taken a fancy to that dress, dear?

I bought all these clothes. Pomona said, pointing to a row of clothes worn on wooden dolls.

Where are your parents? Madam Malkin said with a polite smile, as if she thought it was the nonsense of an eleven-year-old girl.

Pomona placed a purse full of Galleons on the counter with a bang.

Now, let the person inside come out. She said arrogantly with her chin high. Don't waste my time.
