Chapter 15:15: Magic, here I come!
The weather is a bit cold.
Ian looked back at the door that was gradually closing, and then looked up at the mottled [Ollivander's Wand Shop]. He felt that he had discovered the largest fraud den in the wizarding world.
"What a cunning villain."
Ian muttered and judged Ollivander. He even felt that with so many followers, Voldemort might not only use gnaw to kill big dogs. Don't threaten others.
Ollivander may have to take some of the blame!
Think about it!
If you meet a fortune teller when you are in your teens, he tells you that you will definitely become a general in the future, and then you meet Chen Sheng and Wu Guang when you grow up.
Who can withstand this?
Most people probably mistakenly regard tragedy as destiny!
"The crux of the chaos in the wizarding world has been found!"
Ian felt that with this discovery, he would be able to write a very good paper, but it was a pity that Hogwarts was not able to publish his statement. A journal for smart people.
"Perhaps I should consider the Daily Prophet. The remuneration for such a famous newspaper must be quite high." Ian was thinking while looking left and right for Snape.
The unreliable professor did not abandon Ian and leave. He saw Snape standing outside a shop, so he quickly raised his legs and trotted towards Snape's direction.
"Professor! I discovered a shocking secret!"
Ian felt that if his article could be signed by a Hogwarts professor, the probability of it being selected and published by the Daily Prophet would be higher.
I guarantee you will get a little more royalties.
"Mr. Prince, I am not interested in knowing the childish and stupid ideas of you children. Now, it is time for you to choose a pet that can help you in your studies."
Snape glanced coldly at Ian's wand in his trouser pocket.
Soon.
He raised his hand and knocked on the glass window of the shop in front of him. At this time, Ian discovered that this was a pet store, and there were many pets in cages in the store.
There are many kinds of cats, toads, owls, lizards and mice, and even some small animals with magical blood, but none of them made Ian feel moved.
True.
Ian still has some feelings for owls.
However, there are actually a lot of owls raised in Hogwarts. In Ian's opinion, owls that can be petted for free are definitely more cost-effective than owls that need to be spent and taken care of by oneself.
In comparison.
Ian even wants to keep some special pets of his own.
"Professor, can I buy the pet I want?"
Ian spoke tentatively.
“Yeah.”
Snape snorted a word from his nostrils.
"Then, bring me a phoenix?"
Ian blinked.
Lions...well, lions are very confident animals, so they probably can't open this mouth. Faced with Ian's whims, Snape's eyes twitched a few times.
"Are you sure you didn't drink too much demulcent potion and you still haven't woken up yet?" Snape was really shocked. He had never seen someone who didn't want Bilian so much!
Get you a phoenix?
I still want it!
Someone give me one!
"A bird with phoenix blood is also okay? I see that the shop uses phoenix feathers to make wands." The implication of Ian's words is obvious, that is, he thinks phoenixes should be very common.
As a child living in a Muggle orphanage, it is reasonable and reasonable to have such an understanding. However, Ian actually really wants a phoenix.
How cool.
"Except for members of the Dumbledore family, no wizard in this century has been able to win the favor of the Phoenix. I advise you to forget this unrealistic fantasy."
Si Nap rolled his eyes.
Continue to speak to Ian in a slow tone, "Of course, maybe Mr. Prince is proud enough to let Dumbledore give you his phoenix."
Obviously.
This is just a mockery of Ian.
"How about Professor, why don't you go and tell me something? Dumbledore will definitely give you this face!" It's not that Ian is shameless enough, it's that he found a way to deal with Snape.
As expected.
Just this sentence.
Snape was choked and didn't know how to respond.
"A sharp-tongued guy!"
In the end, Snape just glared at Ian viciously.
“If your brain could be somewhat different from that of a troll, you wouldn’t be dreaming about impossible things, but would honestly choose a cat or a mouse.”
"They are both your best partners for potion experiments." Snape was obviously suppressing his annoyance, but he still gave his suggestions slowly.
Just.
This suggestion is obviously not in line with most people’s positioning of pets.
"You call it an experimental subject, not a pet." Ian sighed helplessly.
"Is there a difference?"
Snape sneered coldly, "Maybe you will go to stupid Gryffindor, there are only those Only mediocre people can have sympathy and love for these animals.”
He once again dissed the academy he hated the most.
Ian chose to ignore it.
"Forget it, I spent enough money today. I don't have any animals I want to raise. I can't even feed myself." Ian lay on the glass wall and watched for a long time.
Finally.
He still couldn't find any animal he liked.
He has the soul of an adult.
My interest in pets is naturally different from that of ordinary children.
"It's your own choice."
Snape didn't give much advice.
I tossed my robe, turned around and left.
"Since we can't raise phoenixes, how can we raise snakes?" Ian quickly followed him with his suitcase, which had been guarded by Snape before.
"First-year students are not allowed to bring such dangerous pets." Snape slowed down and waited for Ian to follow. He looked at Ian with a standard squint full of contempt.
"Didn't you forget it? Did you want to change your mind again? It's a pity that you lost the opportunity to buy." The corners of Snape's mouth turned up slightly, and his dead fish face finally showed a little fluctuation.
“No, I want to raise one when I’m in the second or third grade.” Ian didn’t know if Harry Potter was in the same class as himself. He wanted to raise a satisfying pet. Depend on the Savior.
Yes.
Ian wants to raise a basilisk.
This is the pet the adult soul wants!
Bigness is the truth!
"Oh, it seems that Mr. Prince doesn't want to keep pets, but he thinks that the pets in the pet shop are not worthy of him. I hope you will not regret today's stupid decision."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, even a pet with a trace of magical animal blood will definitely not be sold at a price that a little wizard like you can afford."
Snape looked as if he had seen right through Ian.
"Okay, thank you Professor for reminding me."
Ian nodded.
There was no expression of embarrassment that Snape expected to see.
This made Snape frown slightly.
Ian, on the other hand, looked around at the various magical shops without any worries.
"Get ready."
Snape suddenly stopped.
Before Ian turned around to ask.
His hand pinched the back of Ian's neck again.
The next moment.
Ian felt like the world was spinning.
He knew this was what it felt like when Apparition was activated. However, compared to the previous experience where he had no feeling at all, now he felt slightly dizzy and nauseated.
It’s not serious.
Maybe it’s because Snape’s potion has lost some of its efficacy?
Just when Ian's thoughts were wandering.
"Crash~"
With the sudden clarity of vision, the journey of phantom apparition ended, and the bustling streets of Diagon Alley disappeared from sight, replaced by a quiet and peaceful place. village.
The gurgling sound of the distant stream is intertwined with the occasional hoot of an owl, and the air is filled with the sweet smell of various magical foods and candies.
This is Hogsmeade.
A magical village hidden in the Scottish mountains.
"You will live here until school starts."
Snape brought Ian, who was looking around like a curious baby, to a secluded cabin. Before Ian could pretend to be confused, he asked where this place was. He had already taken out a key, and threw it all to Ian along with the remaining half bag of gold galleons.
"If you let me catch you and run around again, you won't get any good results." Snape finished the warning with a stern look and turned around and left without hesitation.
His back looks a little hurried, as if he is very anxious to deal with something - it can't be that he forgot to turn off the pot of precious potion before going out, right?
"He seemed to be telling me not to... run around again?"
Ian noticed something unusual in Snape's words.
However.
Looking at the piles of textbooks in his suitcase, what Ian wants most now is to become a real wizard. In his opinion, everything else needs to be put aside for the time being.
"Magic! Here I come!"
