Charing Cross Road.
This is a famous commercial street in the UK, but what is more famous than the business is that this bustling street has many bookstores with a long history!
But to the wizarding world, the most famous place here is the Leaky Cauldron, which is invisible to Muggles.
On this lively summer afternoon, a taxi stopped precisely on this relatively deserted roadside. However, its two beautiful passengers had no intention of entering the magical world.
"I always feel that Muggles have so much to learn. I really don't know how their brains grow."
When the taxi driver who was fascinated by her was confused, before Fleur could continue to sigh, Hermione quickly pulled her out of the car.
"Don't talk about these things in front of Muggles! Besides, they don't have to go to school to learn about taking a taxi!"
Yes, at Fleur's begging, Hermione temporarily ended her vacation plan at the Weasley's house and took her to this street.
And was asked to do it the Muggle way!
Fleur ignored Hermione's advice and still looked at the surrounding buildings and passing cars with a typical wizard's surprised look at Muggles.
"There are so many bookstores here!" She didn't mind being conspicuous. She pointed at the various bookstores scattered on this street and said loudly in surprise.
"Didn't you ask to come here to buy books? Of course you want to come to the famous bookstore street!"
Hermione raised her head proudly, but in order to prevent Fleur from making more moves that would disgrace the wizard, she quickly pulled her forward.
"By the way, why do you suddenly want to read Muggle books?" Hermione asked curiously.
Fleur's eyes were still on the dazzling array of books and books in the bookstore, so she said somewhat casually: "Didn't I work in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures for a year?
During this period, I summarized many questions and wanted to ask the welfare professor. After a rare moment, the professor took a look and told me that these questions were all answered in the process of Muggles abolishing slavery and innovating various distribution systems... "
"So you want to buy some books like this?"
Hermione suddenly understood, but looking at Fleur who was obviously troubled by the professor's perfunctory attitude, she comforted: "That's just the way the professor is, you don't have to worry about it.
If he is having afternoon tea, especially when there is pumpkin juice, he will be particularly interested in helping you answer many questions.
But if the professor is busy with something, he will answer in a way that... well, let us think independently. "
As a qualified academic, Hermione consulted professors many times when she was in school, so naturally she gained some experience!
"But the professor said he was so busy that he didn't even have time for afternoon tea..."
Fleur said helplessly, letting Hermione pull her into a significantly more spacious classical bookstore.
"Foyles?" She looked at the bookstore's sign curiously.
Just from the outside, this five-story bookstore is even bigger than the Hogwarts library!
"Yes," Hermione suddenly became excited when she saw the books on the shelves inside. "This is the largest bookstore in the world, with a collection of 20 books!"
"Can I help you, two beautiful ladies?" A young man in a brown suit couldn't help but come up to him, with what he thought was the most handsome smile on his face.
As early as when Furong got out of the car, he noticed this girl who exuded charm all the time.
It was only when he saw that their destination was his least favorite bookstore that he hesitated for a while.
But obviously, it was only for a while...
"I need to find……"
"Why didn't I know that the clerk at Foyle's bookstore now wears a suit?"
Simple Fleur thought she was a store clerk who came to help find books. After all, trying to find the book she wanted among more than 20 books was tantamount to overturning the confidentiality law!
But Hermione cut her off sharply.
What she was most worried about during this trip was Fleur's own ability to enchant. With no resistance from Muggles, in a bookstore with thousands of visitors every day, it would definitely attract a lot of crazy bees and butterflies!
They are wizards, so naturally they are not afraid of being harmed by Muggles, but the most troublesome thing is that they are wizards, especially Hermione is still an underage wizard. Even if it is for self-protection, using magic against Muggles is a problem in itself. A troublesome thing.
It's just that this kind of pediatric response is not enough for men.
"My name is Xie Keli. As a good boy who has been helpful to others since childhood, I am happy to help every beautiful lady in need."
"Then what can you learn from so many... Hey, what is this?"
Hermione pointed at the pile of books that came into view, but there was something strange about the mountain of books arranged in a beautiful cone shape.
To be precise, the exquisite hard-cover cover is a bit odd.
"Books." Xie Keli said matter-of-factly, but seeing the two of them approaching with interest, he quickly followed.
"Oh," when he saw the title, he patted the thick book and showed a clear expression, "This is the best-selling book in London and even the UK during this period."
Even though he hates reading, Xie Keli still knows that this book has been discussed a lot in various bookstores, newspapers, TV and other media.
""The Adventures of Young Kidd and the Vampire"..."
Fleur and Hermione stared at the cover somewhat seriously.
There's nothing wrong with the title. Even in the Muggle world, there are many fantasy novels that feature vampires.
But the problem is, there is a tall kid and another pale man on the cover, and what they are holding is a magic wand!
Fleur immediately picked up a book and started reading it, but Hermione did not focus on the book, but looked at Xie Keli who was waiting aside.
"Then do you know why these books are placed in the most conspicuous place in Foyle's Bookstore? I remember that bookstores never do such things, right?" Hermione asked with some uncertainty.
"Miss, of course Foyle's Bookstore has never done anything like this."
Xie Keli was obviously proud. After all, snooping around for all kinds of gossip was what he was best at.
"But the publisher of this book seems to have given the owner of Foyle's bookstore a price he couldn't refuse, allowing the book to be placed in the most conspicuous position from the moment it was put on the shelves."
He pointed to the bookstores outside again, and Hermione noticed with sharp eyes that these bookstores were equipped with a variety of conspicuous bookshelves, but all of them contained the same book!
“In fact, this book has been put on the shelves in famous bookstores across the UK!”
This is a famous commercial street in the UK, but what is more famous than the business is that this bustling street has many bookstores with a long history!
But to the wizarding world, the most famous place here is the Leaky Cauldron, which is invisible to Muggles.
