Chapter 537 'No' Soul's Journey to Diagon Alley
·
He Dian Bai Kai Shui
Hermione returned to the Quidditch Boutique Broom Shop, and Ron and Harry were torn between choosing Nimbus or the latest Sideswipe Eleven.
In terms of acceleration performance, Nimbus 2002 can definitely lift and hit all broomsticks except Firebolts.
But when it comes to cost performance, Sideways Eleven is a very good choice. More importantly, the price of Sideways Eleven is much lower than Nimbus 2002.
Although Harry said that he could help make up the insufficient money for gifts and Christmas gifts, Ron's pride actually did not allow him to do so.
Hermione was taken advantage of and had nothing to say, so she could only accept having Soul on her shoulders, at least for the time being.
"The latest Sideswipe Eleven has a broom handle made of Spanish oak, which is no worse than Nimbus' broom handle. We have tested it, and even in some aspects of impact resistance, Sideways Eleven's broom handle is much stronger than Nimbus. .”
The clerk smiled hard and tried hard to sell Harry and Ron.
"Look here." She pointed to the Sweep Eleven on the display stand. "Did you see that there is a layer of varnish here? It is our exclusive invention of anti-toxic spell varnish. It can ensure your safety during the flight. In addition, The new built-in vibration sensing function will make the broom more stable during flight.”
"If you don't have such high requirements for acceleration, sweeping is definitely the best option."
"Hmm...sounds good." Ron pinched his chin in confusion and looked at his mother. Then, of course, he saw the extra mass on Hermione's shoulders.
"Hey, Hermione, did you get a new pet?"
"It's a badger!" Ginny noticed it when Hermione first entered the store and was trying to touch it with her hands.
Soul was trying hard to dodge, jumping back and forth on Hermione's left and right shoulders, and was finally firmly grasped and controlled by Hermione.
Soul closed his eyes in humiliation and endured Ginny's fingers tickling his chin.
Sirius, who was at Harry's feet, sniffed and looked strange.
"Oh, is he shy?" said Ginny.
"Yes." Hermione almost laughed out loud, watching Soul being rubbed by Ginny like a small animal, and followed Ginny's words, "The store clerk said that this badger is very special and has a very shy character. "
"I remember you had Crookshanks?" Harry asked curiously.
"Didn't you notice that I didn't bring Crookshanks here this time?" Hermione shrugged, "I left him at home with my parents, and Soul's sister also liked Crookshanks very much. Mountain, she’ll take care of it.”
"Haven't you chosen a broom yet? We still have to buy books, don't we?"
The topic was brought back to the subject of Hermione having an extra 'pet', and Ron was back in a state of confusion.
"What about acceleration performance?" Ron looked at the clerk.
"Ah, of course, when it comes to acceleration, Nimbus is naturally better than Sweep, but Sweep has a special feature, which other broomsticks except Firebolt do not have, that is, it can Unhindered by the force of the wind.”
"Isn't that a low-end version of the Firebolt?" Harry owned a Firebolt and once owned a Nimbus. Although it was 2001, he could feel the difference between the two broomsticks. The Firebolt was accelerating. The silky smoothness in it feels much better than the 2001.
"You can think so." The clerk nodded with a smile, thinking that it was time to deliver the fatal blow.
“Furthermore, in order to welcome the new school year, the Sweep series is on discount, and we will send an additional set of special maintenance manuals exclusive to Sweep [-]. If you take good care of it, it can even accompany it to the next generation. "
"Okay, I've decided." Ron looked at the eye wheel reluctantly. As a man, he was born with a natural pursuit of high-speed racing, but the discount mentioned by the clerk made him even more excited.
Sideswipe seems to be not bad either?
"Just Sweep Eleven. Although Nimbus is good, I think Sideswipe is more suitable for me. What do you think? Harry?"
Harry naturally wouldn't have any objections, since Ron didn't choose Nimbus and it wouldn't delay him from giving Ron anything.
Harry Potter said that he was not short of money and could always find something else to replace the broom he gave Ron.
Even with the discounts and some gifts, it can be seen that the price of this broom was still higher than Mrs. Weasley expected. However, she happily paid the gold galleons in the end, but it was just a smile on her face. The pain is obvious.
"Welcome next time." The clerk waved goodbye with a smile.
When a group of several people and a badger walked out of the store and walked towards Flourish and Blott Bookstore, Mrs. Weasley suddenly stopped and looked around for a while.
She looked at Ginny with a hint of irritation in her voice.
Soul knew what Mrs. Weasley was angry about. He had already noticed that someone disappeared in the crowd.
"Ginny, where are your two brothers?"
Ginny shook her head blankly, of course she couldn't know.
"These two guys! I will teach them a lesson when I get back!!" Mrs. Weasley stamped her feet, "Let's go and buy books quickly. There will be more people here soon."
Soon, inside Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.
"Fred! George!" Mrs. Weasley angrily walked towards a row of bookshelves, where stood two identical red-haired twin brothers.
"I warned you, don't separate from us!" Mrs. Weasley held both ears in one hand.
"Oh, Mom, it hurts... let go, let go." One of the two brothers, George or Fred, shouted.
Another one picked up immediately.
"We came in advance to prepare the things we wanted to buy, Mom. To save time, Fred and I knew what they needed. Ron was too slow, and we meant well."
Mrs. Weasley glanced at the bookshelf. Sure enough, there was a basket with many books in it.
"Is this really true?" Mrs. Weasley's tone remained stern, but her hands relaxed. "You'd better not confuse me for a gnome in the yard."
"Oh, didn't you see that? Mom, we have good intentions, but we are misunderstood like this." George and Fred cried out.
But Mrs. Weasley, who knew her son's nature well, snorted and looked at the others, "Look, Fred and George bought the right books."
Hermione knelt down and looked at the basket.
"That's right, ma'am." She nodded her head to indicate that it was correct.
"Well, you did a good job this time." Mrs. Weasley knew that the two brothers must have done something before coming to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, which could be seen from their breathless breathing, but the two brothers did It also saved them a lot of time.
"In that case, I'm going to check out now. You guys wait for me here. Don't go away, especially you, Fred and George."
"Mom, you always doubt me and George so much, we will be sad!"
"Oh, if it were me, I would dust off my shoes and breathe slowly before saying that." Mrs. Weasley glanced up and down at Fred.
Oops... seen through.
Fred and George looked at each other, immediately whistled and lightly stamped their feet.
In terms of acceleration performance, Nimbus 2002 can definitely lift and hit all broomsticks except Firebolts.
But when it comes to cost performance, Sideways Eleven is a very good choice. More importantly, the price of Sideways Eleven is much lower than Nimbus 2002.
