Chapter 895

Solim never considered himself a sentimental man, but he did admit one thing: he had feelings for Hogwarts, which were quite complicated, with longing and excitement at first, dullness in the middle period, and now when he was about to graduate, a mood called reluctance wandered through his heart.

Hogwarts was where he "really" first came into contact with magic, and while that "contact" was limited to knowing that there was magic, the first time was always unforgettable. It wasn't until Sculle came to Hogwarts that Solim really felt "home", and he was relaxed at Hogwarts, which was completely different from what he felt at Selwyn Castle.

Passing by Gringotts, Solim spotted an acquaintance - in fact, it would be hard for anyone to ignore Hagrid's sheer size, let alone the now dilapidated Diagon Alley. At this time, there were not many people in Diagon Alley, and Hagrid would not miss Solim's group of four even if he was blind.

"Oh, Solim!" Hagrid was still the same, and even the stains on the moleskin coat on his body were exactly the same as Solim remembered.

"Freshman?" Solim noticed a timid little girl beside Hagrid's lap, with piercing blonde hair.

"Uh, yes. Hagrid looked down at the little guy next to his lap, "Little Gwen, this year's freshman, I want her to come to Gryffindor." "

Looking at the little girl who was about to hide behind Hagrid's lap, Draco grinned, "I think it's enough, maybe it's Hufflepuff." "

"I'm curious, are you doing the job of picking up new students now?" Solim was a little strange, Hagrid's image was not actually suitable for this job, he was too eye-catching. In contrast, Professor McGonagall or Professor Slughorn are more acceptable.

It may be a bit unpleasant, but it's true. Hagrid's image was really not suitable for the job of taking on new students—Harlena was a special case. Think about it, if the freshman was from a Muggle family, when his parents saw a giant who was 11.5 feet (3.5 meters) tall, would they feel comfortable handing over their ~ child to him?

"Alas, there is no way around it. Hagrid touched the little girl's head next to her with her big hand that could hold little Gwen in its entirety, "Little Gwen doesn't have any family anymore, so I don't think I'll have any obstacles to doing this work." -"

Silna let go of the hand that was holding Elena's arm and crouched down in front of Gwen.

"Your name is Gwen, isn't it?"

Solim glanced at his sister, then looked up at Hagrid.

"Well, you know, it's what happened in London some time ago, those damn Dementors......"

Hearing Hagrid say this, Solim understood that it was still the work of the Death Eaters. In that disaster, there were many people who were directly sucked out of their souls by the Dementors, and these people were the most miserable. Gwen's parents were lucky not to be attacked by the Dementors - they died in a car accident and the driver who hit them was being sucked by the Dementors, and in this case, you can't expect an average driver to be able to hit the brakes.

"Are there more children like her?" Silna asked, looking up.

"She's the third I'm responsible for. "Hagrid was a little sad, maybe he thought of Harry," Professor McGonagall, Professor Slughorn, Professor Sprout...... Even Professor Fliwick came out to pick up the freshmen this year. "

Good fellows, all four deans are on the move.

"There are a lot of new students from ordinary families this year?" Solim knew that only young wizards from ordinary families needed to be picked up and dropped off, or families with one parent who was a wizard, and wizard families did not need this kind of service.

"It's pretty much the same as in previous years. Hagrid wiped his eyes, "But something has happened to the freshmen's families this year - you know, the Death Eaters ......"

"Okay, I'm going to take little Gwen to buy a wand, so I won't talk much, I still have a task to do. "

"Ollivander is back?"

Solim, Sylna, and Draco asked in unison, except for Elena.

"yes, he's back. Hagrid stepped forward, nearly knocking Gwen over.

"He's not in great shape, though—you know, he's been tortured by Death Eaters, and as far as I know, he's open for business on those days and closes when school season is over. "

Hagrid left with Gwen first. Solim and the others continued to walk slowly, although there was nothing left to see on the diagonal at this point, even the most conspicuous and lively place in Diagon Alley, the Weasley Joke Shop, was closed at this time, and George and Fred's joke shop was diagonally opposite Gringotts.

"Are the brothers still in St. Mungo?"

"Yes, otherwise they wouldn't have missed the start of school. "Fred and George, one with severe burns, the other with an ear cut off, I think they'll be staying at St. Mungo for a while," Solim said. "

Although many shops in Diagon Alley are closed, some are open all year round, even during the period when the Death Eaters were at their worst, such as the headquarters of the Daily Prophet, or the publishing house of Obs Therroux and Wizhard, the former is the publisher of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and the latter is the publisher of many Quidditch enthusiasts, The Amazing Quidditch and various Quidditch-related books, which are open all year round. However, for students, these three haves and don'ts are the same, and no student will enter anyway.

"Hey, are they still open?" Solim saw a familiar storefront, it was the Sluggiggs Pharmacy, from which he basically bought his potion materials.

After the Gringotts section, the second half of Diagon Alley seems to be more "lively", at least there are a lot more people here. Several parents guarding their children looked at the people in their eyes alertly, as if someone was going to attack them in the next second.

"What's the matter with these people?" said Elena, a little dissatisfied, "as if they looked like we were going to attack them. "

"It's understandable, after all, with so much going on lately, it's normal for them to worry about their children. "It was a surprise that they were able to come to Diagon Alley – after all, most parents would choose to have the owl send their books and supplies directly to their homes," Sylna said. "

Solim and his party stopped in front of Ollivanders' wand shop, it was the same as before - of course, this meant that in normal times, Solim had seen the dilapidated appearance of Ollivander's wand shop, but apparently it was now in order, and through the window, Solim noticed that Ollivanders was measuring the height of the two children, apparently preparing to choose a wand. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Come on, this is the best wand shop on the market. "

Solim pushed open the door and walked in first.
