Chapter 70 Diagon Alley in the New Year

On the last Wednesday of the holiday, the Grangers drove Lane and their daughter to Diagon Alley shopping. Because Ryan's mother was going to work, and his father claimed that he had a brilliant idea to quickly open a new book and release Ryan's pigeons.

After Ryan arrived in this world, he found that although this world was not much different from the world he used to be in the general historical trend, there were still changes in many small places. For example, many original world-famous literary works have become similar works by other authors in this world, and some have never appeared.

It's just that Ryan couldn't remember the specific content of the book he had read, and he didn't have time to be a copywriter. So during the family chat, Ryan took some works that he remembered that had never appeared in this world as a brain hole and told his father Mr. Lambert.

Perhaps stimulated by these brain holes and the fact that there is magic in this world, Mr. Lambert decided to change his style this time and write a magical epic. So Mr. Lambert, who was in retreat and wrote the article, handed Lane over to the Grangers and asked them to take Lane shopping.

According to Lane's point of view, Hermione's parents are the standard culture, gentle. In particular, Mr. Granger was actually a fan of Daddy Ryan's books, which made a lot of common topics in the car along the way.

When they arrived at Diagon Alley, Ryan and Hermione decided to go to Gringotts to exchange money first. As soon as they stepped on the white marble steps of Gringotts, they saw Hagrid walking over with Harry.

Hey, Harry's here. Harry looked up and saw Ryan and Hermione standing on the white steps of Gringotts

Ryan greeted Harry as he walked down the steps with Hermione.

Did you go camping, how did you get so dirty? Hagrid...oh, it's great to see you two again...Are you going to Gringotts now, Harry?

I'll go when I find the Weasleys, Harry said.

You don't have to look long. Hagrid laughed.

Soon the Weasleys are here, and the twins and Ron express their admiration for Harry's Knockturn Alley adventure.

Taking advantage of the Weasleys and Harry's chat, Ryan handed Fred a small pocket.

What are you doing Ryan? Ron asked after seeing their deal.

You know I went to Iceland during the summer vacation, and your brothers asked me to bring them some local specialties, Ryan replied.

As they walked up the Gringotts steps together, Harry told Ryan that he had met the Malfoys at the Dark Magic Shop. Mr. Weasley, who followed behind, felt that he should seize the evidence that the Malfoys were engaged in dark magic. He later argued with Mrs. Weasley, who advised him to put his safety first.

Mr. Weasley's attention was soon diverted, and he said hello to the Grangers, who were standing in the hall. It seemed that Mr. Weasley was indeed a good man with a great passion for Muggles, but the Grangers were a little uncomfortable with this passion.

Then the two sides said goodbye temporarily. The Weasleys and Harry went to the underground vault to withdraw money, while Ryan and Hermione exchanged money in the hall.

This year, everyone's quota is 250 Galleons, because the textbook fee at Hogwarts has increased again this year. The goblin said to them a little impatiently, and it is likely that he said this sentence many times this morning.

When Harry and the others came out, everyone made an appointment to meet at the Lihen Bookstore an hour later. After that, it was time for free shopping.

Lane and the others were strolling along the cobblestone streets, browsing the dazzling array of goods on the street, and eating a large piece of nut cream ice cream. They saw the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan buying a lot of fireworks. After being pulled by Hermione to buy parchment and ink.

As usual, Ryan went to the thrift store to check if there were any useful old books. Hermione was also eager to try this Taobao behavior after seeing Ryan's 1893 edition of The Making of One Hundred Common Potions last time.

Unfortunately, Harry and Ron were not interested in this, so they broke up with Ryan and went to the Quidditch boutique.

Knowledge is so useful, but why do they think the savage sport of flying around on a broom is more interesting? Hermione said with some puzzlement.

You have to know that they all have a family heritage of this sport. Besides, there are only a small number of people who enjoy reading books after all. Ryan turned to Hermione as he opened the store door.

Once inside, they found Percy Weasley engrossed in reading a very dry book: How a Prefect Gained Power. Ryan looked at the opened page that read the occupations the prefects had taken after leaving school.

Seeing Ryan staring at his book curiously, Percy closed the book a little embarrassed and greeted Ryan. In fact, Percy and Ryan have a good relationship with Hermione, especially when they organize group homework, Percy provides a lot of help.

The content of this book is too rudimentary. Ryan said with some disdain. But think about it, the magic world is so big, there is no need for such subtle political skills.

I think it's well written, why do you think it's crude? Percy asked curiously. It can be seen from his expression that he thinks Ryan doesn't understand at his age, so he should just be talking nonsense.

I recommend you to read the Zizhi Tongjian of the Chinese Dynasty. This is a book written by a prime minister of the Chinese Dynasty to the emperor more than a thousand years ago. The cases in it are much higher than the level in this book. I remember that someone took this book. Translated into English.

Percy was really interested, and he even asked Ryan to write the name of the book in Chinese, and said he might go to Chinatown to find the book.

After sending off the excited Percy, Ryan and Hermione began to rummage through the piles of old books, most of the owners just scribbling on the old books, and even one of them might have been soaked in some kind of potion and smelled bad.

It may be that newbies are generally lucky, and finally Hermione found a useful book, which was a Ravenclaw student's spell notes, which she thought had some knowledge very useful.

When checking out, Hermione said to Ryan: I always thought that these second-hand books are for people with financial problems, and there is no advantage other than cheap. Thanks to you telling me that there are still people left in it. Valuable knowledge.

Ryan smiled, sometimes there are precious things hidden in second-hand goods. This was the experience he gained when he bought second-hand goods in Xianyu in his previous life. For Hermione, a girl from a good family who never needed to buy second-hand goods for financial reasons, it was a very fresh theory. Especially when she pulled out gold from a pile of garbage, the joy of harvesting was absolutely unprecedented.

After paying the bill and going out, Ryan took out his pocket watch and found that the appointed time was coming, so he hurried to the Lihen Bookstore with Hermione.
