Alan took Colin's hand and followed Kong Nuo, his movements were a little stiff, "Mr. Kong, I saw that the signboard said that it has been making excellent wands since 380 BC. Does this place have such a long history?"
"I don't know much about the history of magic." Connor shrugged. "It's been so long, right? Anyway, all wizards in England recognize Ollivander. If you think it's marketing, it's fine."
"Marketing?" Allen nodded thoughtfully, and his expression was not as stiff as when he entered the wand shop just now.
"Good afternoon... Konno!"
The moment they stepped into the shop, a voice that changed from soft to scream appeared.
"Yo! Good afternoon Ollivander!" Kong Nuo waved and greeted.
Ollivander nodded, and looked at Creevey and his son a little nervously, "Are these two your relatives? It's a child I haven't seen before. It should be a freshman this year."
"Freshmen and their parents, I will also be in charge of home visits now." Kong Nuo said with a sigh.
"Oh..." Ollivander nodded, "Since you are not a relative... come here, child, which hand do you usually use?"
Colin glanced at Alan, and Alan nodded before walking towards Ollivander, "Hello, sir... right hand!"
"Okay...right-handed." Ollivander nodded, a tape measure flew out of his pocket, and began to measure Colin's body data, while shuttling between the shelves.
Connor and Allen walked out of Ollivander's Wand Shop and came to Florin's Cold Drink Shop not far away.
It took Colin a while to choose a wand. The shop was not only small but also very dark, so it was better to come out and sit outside.
Lucius Malfoy came out of the back door of the underground casino. Even if he gave Krabi a severe reprimand, it still couldn't change the fact that the casino's revenue has declined recently.
This decline is different from a year ago. It is a process of boiling frogs in warm water.
It wasn't until the middle of the month that Krabi realized that the turnover in July and August had decreased by one-tenth compared to the previous period.
It is normal for income to fluctuate, but this sudden reduction of one-tenth still makes Lucius feel a little annoyed.
The location of the back door was not far from Gringotts, and when he was about to go to Gringotts to discuss a business, he accidentally found an acquaintance at the Florin Cold Drink Shop opposite Gringotts.
This acquaintance was so heartbroken that the memory of losing sixty thousand Galleons in an instant last year resurfaced and attacked his temple.
And this summer vacation, his drag brother will always mention this person's name, and even in the recent "Daily Prophet" report, this person's name still occasionally appears.
He and Snape still kept in touch, and during several short exchanges, Snape occasionally mentioned this person's name.
Whether it's Potions or recent discussions on an international scale, this man seems to have made a name for himself on multiple fronts.
This made it difficult for him...
The consistent tenet of the Malfoy family is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Whether it is standing in line or defecting, the Malfoy family is the fastest.
During the period when the Act of Secrecy had not been officially implemented, because the Malfoy family traded with Muggles to obtain a lot of wealth, so their voices of opposition were also the loudest.
However, when the implementation of the secrecy law could not be reversed, the Malfoy family immediately chose to defect and became staunch supporters of the secrecy law.
Not only that, the Malfoy family also immediately cut off from the Muggle merchants, resolutely refusing to admit that they had an affair with Muggles in the past, it can be said that they are the first family to play with the wind.
It is precisely because of this extremely flexible stance that the Malfoy family can continue to this day, enjoy a reputation in the wizarding world, and become a wealthy pure-blood family.
Lucius sighed, stepped forward to say hello, "Professor Kong, I didn't expect such a coincidence, why are you also in Diagon Alley?"
Let's just write off the past, after all, I was fighting wits with the air, and Kong Nuo actually didn't know about these things.
Besides, Kong Nuo just entered the underground casino to play normally, and he didn't think that such a thing would happen.
Well, as long as I comfort myself like this, it seems that my temples don't hurt so much.If it really doesn't work, wait until the next time Krabi raises his left foot first, and scold him again.
Kong Nuo raised his eyebrows. Seeing this middle-aged man with platinum-blonde hair, he felt a little familiar, especially with his stinky expression, "Hello, are you... a relative of Draco?"
Lucius showed a surprised expression, and nodded slightly, "Yes, Professor Kong, I am Draco's father, and my name is Lucius Malfoy."
"It seems that Draco performed well last school year, and he was able to make you remember him."
Kong Nuo nodded, "He is quite cheerful, able to quickly adapt to the new learning environment, adjust his learning methods, consciously abide by the school's various work and rest systems, abide by the dormitory's bedtime discipline, and have good hygiene and living habits ...No! Cough cough, it's pretty good anyway, keep it up!"
Lucius rubbed his temples. Although he tried his best to put aside his old prejudices, he still felt that he could not keep up with Professor Kong's rhythm.
However, Kong Nuo was willing to chat with him about Draco, and it happened that he could also chat about school affairs along the way.
Just like that Quirinus Quirrell, in his impression he was a timid and cowardly person, but he didn't expect that he would dare to steal dragon eggs and hold students hostage, which is really unimaginable.
Especially in his conversation with Snape, he could feel that there was something in Snape's words, hinting him that Quirrell was not that simple.
However, subject to Dumbledore's warning, Snape could only be a riddle man and did not tell him the truth of the matter.
"You mean that Professor Quirrell?" Conno touched his chin, "Speaking of this... If your Draco finds anything wrong, remember to report to the teacher first, and let the teacher solve the problem."
"Don't be like Harry, who took his two buddies and went to collect evidence by himself in a daze, which almost caused danger later!"
Lucius' face was a bit serious. At first, he felt that Snape seemed to describe the matter too seriously, but after talking with Konno, he felt that the whole matter seemed to be getting more and more strange.
Relating to Snape's stern expression at the time, could it be that Quirrell...had something to do with the Dark Lord?
Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he suddenly thought of a conjecture... If Quirrell's anomaly was caused by the Dark Lord...
"Mr. Malfoy, what's wrong with you? You look pale because you haven't exercised enough. You should strengthen your exercise so that you won't be so weak." Connor reminded.
"Sorry... I just remembered some past events." Lucius took out a clean white handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He approached Kong Nuo again, and asked in an extremely small voice: "I don't know...Professor Kong, do you know anything about the Dark Lord?"
"I don't know much about the history of magic." Connor shrugged. "It's been so long, right? Anyway, all wizards in England recognize Ollivander. If you think it's marketing, it's fine."
