Chapter 140 Departure

When everything was almost done, Hermione took out his purse and said, You know my birthday is in September, this time I have to leave early for my trip to Brazil, so my parents gave me some money to buy it for myself. For a birthday present, the budget is fifteen Galleons.

This budget is very loose, Ryan said. You wouldn't give yourself a birthday present as well, would you?

No, of course not. Hermione denied: I decided to buy a pet, after all, after two school years, my school life has been on the right track. It's time to consider buying a pet to accompany.

So the three of them crossed the street to the pet shop called Magic Zoo. The space in the store is very small, and even with cages hanging every inch of the wall, the store is smelly and noisy. The sounds of all kinds of animals mixed together and made a headache.

Because a witch in front bought a rare bird of paradise, the owner has been teaching the witch how to raise it. In this case, the three of them could only look at the cages in the store boredly.

There are many kinds of pets here, most of which are naturally owls and cats, but there are also some uncommon animals, such as a large turtle with a back shell covered with jewels, and a fire crab that continuously spews flames from the back of the buttocks. And a little blue bird that keeps transforming itself into flowers of all kinds.

Finally, the owner sent away the witch who kept the bird of paradise, and then found Ryan and the others waiting there. What do you need? the shopkeeper asked.

After some selection, Hermione bought what looked like a huge owl with dark-brown feathers. The most special thing was that this owl had long ear feathers on the sides of its head.

This is an eagle owl. When walking out of the pet store, Hermione held up the cage to show Ryan and the others. I thought about a big orange cat and it for a long time, but I thought of going to a faraway place to study this year. For the convenience of communication, I finally chose this big owl, which the owner said can fly intercontinental.

Ah, eagle owl. I know this bird. Some people think its bones can heal broken bones, so they kill them. Lane thought of something and said.

That sucks. Hermione shook her head.

Certainly, most of the Muggle world has legislation outlawing their capture, Lane added.

After chatting all the way, everyone returned to the Leaky Cauldron, where they met Nawei and his grandma. After seeing them, Mrs. Longbottom stepped forward to shake hands with them, and thanked them for helping Longbottom make up last semester's classes and making Neville's last semester's final exam results more satisfactory.

After a little chat, Mrs. Longbottom took Nawei to Diagon Alley to buy things. Ryan and Hermione took the subway home after saying goodbye to Harry.

Walking out of the subway station and walking on the road, Hermione asked curiously, What is the magic you used in the bookstore? Why have I never seen it?

It was a centaur's magic, taught to me by Wolf. I found out that some of the characteristics of creatures were in these books, and I wondered if I could use this magic to soothe life. Anyway, even if this magic fails, it will not be What's the damage. In the end, you see, I succeeded. Ryan pushed this magic on the centaurs, anyway, apart from himself, Ryan could not find any wizard who could gain the centaurs' complete trust.

Hermione accepted Ryan's explanation and said enviously, A centaur, a race that can coexist with wizards to this day. I believe they must have their own specialties.

In fact, this is an application of ancient runes. With the birth of modern magic, these spells have gradually become rare among human wizards. But they are still intact in some ancient races.

So that's the case. It seems that I need more channels to acquire knowledge, and I can't just stare at books. Hermione nodded suddenly.

A few days later, Ryan packed up at home and sent letters to several pure-blooded classmates he knew to ask about the Castro Brusso School of Magic.

Soon these good friends wrote back one after another. Among them, Neville's letter was the most detailed. The letter introduced the history of the school and its current specialties in detail. However, these detailed and well-organized contents did not seem to be summed up by Neville himself, but more like the handwriting of Mrs. Longbottom.

Think of the old lady Longbottom's age, and to take care of Neville, who is both a father and a mother. Even in order to help my grandson improve his relationship with his friends, he personally wrote these things. Ryan also had to sigh with emotion.

On August 27, after a hearty breakfast early in the morning. The Ryan family drove off in the family's SUV. Just after turning the first intersection, I saw Granger's blue Volkswagen SUV parked at the intersection. Yesterday the two of them made an appointment to leave together today.

At half past nine, Ryan and the others arrived at King's Cross Station. So they sat for a while in the café at the train station. Until the hour hand reached a quarter past ten. After listening to the advice of his parents and reluctantly hugging and saying goodbye. Lane and Hermione pushed their luggage carts into platform nine and three-quarters in tandem.

Perhaps because it was still a little early, apart from an old guard on the platform nine and three quarters, there were only two or three scattered students walking on the platform or sitting on the benches.

However, Ryan found that they were all senior Slytherin students, so he and Hermione found a bench away from them and sat down, and took out the ancient rune textbook and started to read.

After watching it for a while, Ryan discovered that the ancient Rune textbooks had the spelling of Rune and the pronunciation of Rune, but the most important part of the infusion was missing.

No wonder there are fewer and fewer people in this class. The rune that cannot be infused can only be said to be a special language and characters, and it has no magical effect at all. This kind of magic without the means of infusion has no practical effect after it is finished. Naturally, this subject has gradually become a less popular course from one of the basics of magic.

Ryan felt that the current situation was probably a means of the pure-blood family to maintain the status of the family. Thinking about it, I also know that there is a high probability that those families have various methods of rune infusion handed down from ancient times. The little wizards who can only learn knowledge from school can only use a simple introduction to explore the method of instilling spirits. Except for some geniuses, most people's methods are far less good than the methods summed up by the predecessors in the pure-blood family. This naturally achieves the purpose of pure bloods monopolizing knowledge and confirming the advantages of pure blood families.

This is the same reason that combat spells are rarely learned in Hogwarts, and those pure blood families maintain their position in the wizarding world through the control of knowledge.

Thinking about whether there are some or not, the time passed for half an hour. The students also rushed to the platform one after another. Finally, there was a whining sound in the distance, and the red steam engine head of the Hogwarts Express appeared on the track around the corner.
