Chapter 7: Big Shopping in Diagon Alley
At night, George's consciousness returned to Marvel's body again. It was another day of sweaty training, but nothing special happened.
But his intuition told him that the jailbreak might have happened recently.
Because he discovered that the mutant children had an extra comic in their hands, and the name of the comic was "Uncanny X-Men".
In fact, he still hasn't figured out the historical situation of this universe.
There are X-Men and X-Men-related comics in this universe, which shows that mutants should have been quite famous in the past. So what kind of super soldier project is there? Why is there still Captain America?
All this will have to wait until he escapes from this experimental base and then looks up history to understand what is going on.
Harry Potter world, early morning.
When George picked up the Daily Prophet from the inbox at the door of the store, he found an extra letter.
"It's finally here."
On the light yellow envelope, written in emerald green ink: Knockturn Alley, collected from Mr. George of Merton Potions Store.
Yes, this was exactly the acceptance letter sent to him by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Although he knew that Scrimgeour and Tonks had said it, there was nothing wrong with it, but when he actually got the admission notice, he still couldn't calm down for a long time.
That was Hogwarts, a real magic school, and he could go there right away to learn all kinds of magical magic.
Magic, who can resist magical magic?
“Then let’s start the big shopping!”
After finishing breakfast as quickly as possible, George took the list of books and equipment included in the envelope and walked out of Merton's Potions Store in high spirits.
But as soon as he went out, his good mood was ruined by an eyesore.
"Isn't this little Dora? I heard that you were readmitted to Hogwarts. Are you going to buy supplies for school?"
An old wizard with a hunched back and shiny hair stood at the door of the shop opposite, looking at George with a sinister look and saying hello.
"Good morning, Mr. Borgin, I'm just about to buy a magic book for school.
Also, my name is now George. "
George reacted inwardly, but on the surface he still replied very politely.
The identity of this old wizard is not simple. He can be said to be the oldest dark wizard in Knockturn Alley. The Borgin-Bock antique store he opened is the largest magic store in Knockturn Alley.
The business scope is very wide, including selling and recycling items containing black magic or other dangerous items, and providing secret valuation services for rare and ancient magical artifacts.
Voldemort used to be a clerk in this black-hearted antique shop when he was young. He also relied on the complicated relationship in this antique shop to find and make two Horcruxes.
The old wizard Borgin is the guy that George is most worried about at the moment. If this guy gives up attacking him, then no dark wizard in Knockturn Alley will be interested in the potion shop he inherited.
"What a good boy. I see that the Auror lady had lunch at your house yesterday?"
Bo Jin smiled, but his smile was a little oozing.
And George smiled the same way, but his smile was much brighter.
"Yes, Sister Tonks likes my cooking skills very much. She said she would bring her colleagues and Uncle Scrimgeour over for dinner next time."
"That's going to be hard on you."
Bo Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.
George shook his head and said innocently:
"It's not hard. I like cooking very much. How about I cook more next time they come here? Mr. Bojin, can you also come and taste my cooking skills?"
"Well, no need for that."
Bo Jin's expression froze, and then he turned and returned to his dark shop.
Seeing Bo Jin leave, George muttered to himself:
"If you dare to take advantage of me, sooner or later you will seize your shop and I will kill you old thing."
After regaining his composure, he set off again into Diagon Alley.
Compared to the small and dark space of Knockturn Alley, Diagon Alley is much brighter and brighter. It is full of normal wizards and children who come to purchase and various shop assistants selling goods.
"Dragon liver, sixteen ounces per ounce"
"Crucibles, copper, brass, pewter, silver crucibles, complete models, automatic stirring and foldable."
"Gray wood owl, screech owl, grass owl, brown owl, snowy owl, we have all the pets you want."
"Nimbus 2001, the fastest broomstick, you deserve it"
While walking around the bustling Diagon Alley, George was not reluctant to spend money, and basically bought the best tools.
Although there are many bad tools, he still feels that only good tools can achieve higher efficiency. Since he has money, why save.
"A complete set of uniforms, cauldrons, telescopes, medicine bottles, scales, wands, just books, oh, and pets."
Two hours later, George was pushing a cart filled with various school supplies while counting the items on his list that he had not yet bought.
In fact, it didn’t take much time to buy other things. Even the wands were purchased quickly. I tried a few and found the one that worked best for me, so I bought them.
Mainly because in the process of buying uniforms, I needed to take measurements, which delayed me some time.
"Hey, the owl store is just right. Let's buy an owl."
Seeing the Owl Shop on the street, George thought for a moment, then pushed the cart and walked in.
There are many pets for the little wizard to choose from, but he feels that the most useful one is the owl, because the owls in the wizarding world are different from ordinary owls.
The magic owl in the wizarding world is not only smarter, but also has its own positioning magic. It can find the recipient no matter where he is, unless the recipient uses relevant shielding magic.
In addition to delivering letters, it can also deliver various things, and its strength is far beyond that of normal owls. It can deliver things weighing 10 to 20 kilograms.
He is a pragmatist. Since he wants to buy a pet, he must buy a useful one, otherwise it is better not to buy it. He does not have the energy to keep a pet.
"Welcome to Ella Owl Shop, sir, what kind of owl do you want?"
Seeing George enter the door, a clerk quickly came up.
"That one!"
He quickly found the owl he liked after scanning the entire store.
And following George's finger, the clerk's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise:
"Are you sure you want that one?"
"Sure."
George nodded affirmatively.
The clerk hesitated for a moment and explained:
"I need to remind you that it is ten times more expensive than a normal owl, and it costs one hundred gold galleons."
The owl George was referring to was not an ordinary owl, but a large eagle owl that was nearly one meter tall when standing.
Normally, only adult wizards with special hobbies or for research would spend money to buy such a large owl. He had never seen a young wizard buy this as a pet.
On the one hand, it is too expensive, and on the other hand, even if the parents are rich, they are still worried. Such a large owl is not safe.
