"Cough cough..."
Glenn also noticed Sirius' subconscious look and coughed slightly.
"Harry will only be in his fourth year next year. You don't want him to compete with two adult wizards, do you?"
Even if there is no age limit, it is a wise choice to allow senior students over the age of sixteen or seventeen to participate in the Triwizard Tournament.Compared with young wizards who have passed OWLs, students in lower grades are almost not competitive at all.
Sirius quickly figured this out and realized that he had committed an old habit again. He smiled awkwardly and tried to blur the matter away.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qiu glanced at his watch and stood up to say goodbye.
Sirius had a mission, so he didn't stay too long. He gave Harry a few words and left together, taking Qiu home by the way.
Harry waved goodbye to the two of them, and was not in a hurry to return to the room in the Leaky Cauldron. He simply went to Ollivander's house for a dinner at Glenn's invitation.
Today's Diagon Alley is obviously much deserted than when the little wizards came to buy things together. It is also evening, there are almost no pedestrians on the street, and many shops have begun to pack up and prepare to close.
Normally, the Quidditch boutique would have been closed, but today the lights were still on, and there were several people gathered in the store, chatting around a broomstick.
Several workers were standing in front of the display window, seemingly building new display racks.
In wizarding society, Quidditch is the well-deserved number one sport, and its status is even higher than that of Muggle football.Whether they are students in magic schools or adult wizards, even many elderly people are enthusiastic.
As Gryffindor's best seeker for a century, Harry also became interested and invited Glenn to join him.
"Sorry, we're already closed." Hearing movement at the door, a man dressed as a store manager said.
Harry was about to apologize when a female store clerk followed the sound and noticed the two of them.
"The store manager is Mr. Ollivander Jr."
This clerk was exactly the clerk who greeted Glenn when he came to buy Qiu Nimbus 2000 a year ago.
The store manager quickly turned around with a smile on his face.
"It turns out to be little Mr. Ollivander! Just in time, come and take a look at this broomstick, a sample that just came out."
Facts have proved that in this three-acre area of Diagon Alley, there is no more useful identity than a member of the Ollivander family.
"The sign is ready, store manager, where do you think it should be hung?" Another clerk came out of the office, holding a metal sign the size of A4 paper in his hand.
The store manager took it, glanced at it quickly, and handed it to Glenn.
Firebolt
This latest high-speed broomstick features a streamlined design, a high-quality ash wood handle, diamond-polished, and a hand-engraved registration number.
Each carefully selected birch branch at the end of the broom has been milled into a streamlined shape, giving the broom unrivaled balance and exquisite accuracy.
The Firebolt can accelerate from rest to 150 miles per hour in ten seconds and perform magic braking.
Price negotiable.
"The price is negotiable?" Harry leaned over, looked at it carefully, and said with some surprise.
When he first entered the door, he immediately saw the Firebolt placed on the counter, which naturally attracted him greatly.
Because he set the flag twice in a row, his beloved Nimbus 2000 did not escape the fate of being torn apart by the Whomping Willow.How could he not be tempted when he encountered such a sophisticated new broom?
However, a Firebolt with such excellent performance must also have a prohibitive price.
This can already be reflected from the word "negotiable".
"As far as I know, this is the fastest broom in the world." The store manager said with a smile, "The Irish national team just placed an order, seven brooms, one for each person! As you know, the World Cup is coming soon It’s about to start, this is a real hot commodity!”
Although Harry didn't know much about the game of Quidditch, with a name like the World Cup, he knew it was the top competition in the international wizarding world.
After hearing what the store manager said, his desire for Firebolts grew like weeds.
But when I think about the destined high price, I still retreat a little.
Glenn didn't find it too tempting.He and Qiu were going to China after school started and were bound to miss at least one Quidditch Cup match.Next year will be the Triwizard Tournament, and the Quidditch Cup will be completely cancelled.
Even if you buy a Firebolt, there is basically no chance of using it.If you really need it in the future, just buy two more at that time.
On the contrary, Harry, without the Firebolt, might have affected his performance in the first event of the Triwizard Tournament.
Seeing Harry's hesitation, the store manager wisely said nothing and directed the workers to carefully place the Firebolts on the display rack.
When leaving the boutique, Harry looked a little disappointed.
In fact, with the wealth left behind by the Potter family, it was not stressful to just buy a broom.But considering that he still had five years to study, he didn't dare to waste such a large amount of money casually.
Glenn naturally knew his concerns and had already made plans.
Let him struggle with it for a few days. If he is really reluctant to part with it, then buy it as a birthday gift for him. It will definitely gain a lot of friendship.
Although the current friendliness is becoming more and more limited in helping to improve strength, with the magic of the system, maybe one day it will be upgraded, and these exchange coins accumulated for a long time can have some magical effect.
As for the hefty price?
Sorry, compared to the huge wealth of the Ollivander family, this little money is only a fraction at best.
The following days returned to calm, and Harry soon celebrated his 13th birthday.
The owls brought gifts from Hermione and Ron.
Ron bought him a pocket speculum in faraway Egypt. I don't know if it is really useful. If someone around him has malicious intentions, it will rotate and light up.
Since Nimbus 2000 was destroyed a year in advance, Hermione did not dare to send him a set of broomstick care tools like in the original book. Instead, she bought a magic comb for him to use to tidy up Hedwig's feathers.
Of course, there is also the "Monster Book of Monsters" sent by Hagrid.
When the package was opened, the book ran wild in the guest room of the Leaky Cauldron, causing complaints from the janitor who was cleaning the room.
In the end, Harry was not willing to spend a large sum of galleons to buy the Firebolt, and planned to settle for the next best thing and buy the latest model of Nimbus.
Glenn stopped him as planned, gave him this valuable birthday gift, and gained a four-digit friendship. With the protagonist's super high multiplier bonus, he collected a large amount of exchange coins. .
Glenn also noticed Sirius' subconscious look and coughed slightly.
