Chapter 5 Shopping
"It appears that you have got the cedar wand."
After meeting at the door of Mrs. Malkin's robe shop, Chris recognized the wand in Kyle's hand at a glance.
Because of the strange combination, Chris was very impressed with it, and it was also because of this wand that he met Diana for the first time.
Unexpectedly, it is now in Kyle's hands.
Chris glanced at Kyle with some emotion, but soon, his expression changed, as if thinking of something, he patted Kyle's shoulder heavily.
"My dear, I regret to tell you some bad news. With this wand, you probably won't be able to enter Gryffindor."
"Can't get into Gryffindor?" Kyle's mouth twitched, he probably understood what his father meant.
Ollivander said that wizards with cedar wands are perceptive and naturally calm, while Gryffindors... well, they may, maybe, not need calm.
Kyle didn't expect that he had been rejected by an academy before he even entered school. This is really sad news.
"What are you two laughing at?" At this moment, Diana just walked over and asked curiously.
She went to help Kyle buy a crucible just now, and when she came back, she stopped by Wenrenju to buy some quills and parchment, so she didn't hear the conversation between the father and son just now.
"It's nothing, it's just that Dad said that if I hold it, I won't be able to enter Gryffindor." Kyle explained, and showed Diana his new wand by the way.
Diana obviously recognized the cedar wood wand, combined with Kyle's words, she couldn't hold back for a while, and also laughed out loud.
"I'm sorry dear, I think your father was right."
Neither Chris nor Diana had the idea of which college Kyle should enter. In their opinion, as long as it was Hogwarts, the college was the same.
The same goes for Kyle.
……
Like choosing a wand, making a school uniform is a long-term project. Even though Mrs. Malkin is quite professional, it took more than 20 minutes.
And this is just the time to measure the necessary parameters, and it will take longer to get the finished product. Who makes Kyle taller than his peers? There is no suitable stock in the store, so it can only be customized, which takes about two hours hours or so.
Kyle thought about it, and finally decided to leave his home address and have it delivered by owl.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and two hours later it would be seven o'clock, which was too late, and it was more convenient to send a courier.
The next stop of Mrs. Mojin's robe shop is Lihen Bookstore.
This time, it was very fast. In less than 5 minutes, Kyle found all the books he needed.In addition, he also purchased two extra-curricular reading materials.
First of all, it must be Uncle Newt's - "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (latest revised edition)".
Although there are already nineteen copies in the family, this does not prevent him from supporting Uncle Newt, and it is right to help sell them.
And this new revised edition is also very conscientious, with [-] more pages and seven brand new magical animals, which is very cost-effective, not a loss.
As for the second book, Kyle accidentally kicked it out of the corner when he went to check out.
"Common Spells and Their Solutions"
Just like its name, there are some common spells in it, such as lighting spell, levitation spell, clean up and so on.
But the advantage is that there are enough of them, and there are all kinds of them. It's a bit like the cursed version of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and the price is not expensive, only one Galleon.
After looking at it twice, Kyle put it on. Although it is not very useful, it is good for passing time.
In fact, apart from these two books, there are many books that Kyle wants to read, such as spells, potions, and transformations. The sum can almost fill a parchment, but Kyle didn't buy it.
It's not that they don't have money. Chris and Diana's income is still very considerable. Although it is not as good as those of pure-blood families, it is not enough to afford a few books. The main reason is that he will go to Hogwarts soon. It's gone.
Guarding one of the largest and oldest libraries in the wizarding world, why buy books?Unless it is a necessary textbook for class, or you really like it, you can just borrow it when you want to read it.
I don't know what others think, anyway, Kyle doesn't want to be wronged, and his Garen is not blown by a strong wind.
……
After coming out of Lihen Bookstore, I have almost bought everything on the admission list, or I have already bought everything.
The only remaining pet aspect, Kyle doesn't need.
Chris has rescued many injured owls over the years, so their family has a very high reputation in these messenger circles, so Kyle has also gained a lot of fame.
Every time he appeared at the window with an envelope or a package, a large group of owls would rush over, vying to deliver it for him, and many of them came from Hogwarts.
If there is a need at that time, just hire one with snacks, it is very convenient.
Lo and behold, another galleon saved.
Originally, Kyle wanted to use the saved money to buy a broomstick.It doesn't have to be too good, 1500 Nimbus, or sweeping the Seven Stars will do.
Compared with the new ones in the window, this old broom is very cost-effective.In terms of quality, there is not much difference, but the price is less than one-third of the new broom, which is quite affordable.
For example, the Nimbus 1500, which was all the rage two years ago, originally cost [-] Galleons, but now it only costs [-] Galleons to take away on the spot. The pocket money he has saved over the years is almost enough.
Sweeping Seven Stars is more expensive, about a hundred Galleons, but it's not impossible to buy, but it needs Chris' support.
It's just that he just put forward this idea, but Diana voted it down. The reason is very simple. Hogwarts stipulates that first-year students are not allowed to bring brooms, and it is useless to buy them. One at home is enough.
In this regard, Chris could only shrug helplessly at Kyle, saying that he was helpless.However, he thoughtfully took Kyle to the window of the broom store, and let him enjoy his eyes here before walking towards the Leaky Cauldron.
……
The Weasleys who came with them had already gone back one step ahead, just as Kyle was buying the robes.
Mrs. Weasley needed to go back early to prepare a sumptuous dinner. For a family with six children, this was not a small project. Even with the help of magic, it would take more than an hour.
It's a pity that he couldn't see the twins make a fool of himself, which made Kyle feel very regretful, second only to him not buying a broomstick.
