Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

So, with two weeks left in the summer vacation, Ivan and Harry lived in the broken cauldron.

Compared to Harry's excitement, Ivan has more to do.

In the next few days, he visited almost all magic shops of Diagon Alley. He persuaded businesses to advertise in their own newspapers. Thanks to 《Hogwarts Magic》's increasing sales volume, many businesses are willing to do so, and the advertising costs paid are much higher than the original.

This made Ivan have a lot of savings. He bought a lot of things for himself, such as potion materials that far exceeded the normal young wizard(s) usage.

When preparing Polyjuice Potion last semester, he recorded the potion recipes in the 《Most Potente Potions》 book. There are many practical potion in it, which is very helpful to improve the combat ability. If you want to buy a finished product, you need a lot of gold Galleon(s), which is far less cost-effective than your own refining.

In addition, he also bought a wonderful activity constellation model.

With it, you wo n’t have to take astronomy classes in the future. Ivan was fed up with going to the astronomical tower to be frozen every Wednesday night, especially considering that he still has a strong fear of heights, which is even worse.

Next, he went with Harry to buy the things on the school item list.

They first went to the Madam Malkin robe store to buy the new robe. The two of them just came out of the store and saw a group of people crowded in front of a store.

They cursed past curiously. Ivan noticed that this is a Quiddich boutique store, and a beautifully made broomstick was placed in the shop window. 【ㄨ】

"Firebolt, representing the highest craftsmanship of broomstick at present! The broom handle is made of ash wood, which is streamlined, exquisite, and treated with a diamond-like polish, and has a hand-carved registration number. .... "

Ivan just glanced away and was not interested, but Harry beside him almost stuck his face on the glass window.

"Let ’s go, Harry! You already have a good broom, there is no need to buy one." Ivan thought that parents gave themselves a Christmas gift last year, a Nimbus 2001, seems to have been since receipt Was thrown under the school bed.

"But this is Firebolt, the fastest broomstick in the world."

"It is also the most expensive!"

Harry nodded in agreement. He looked at the label and said that the price was negotiable. He was reluctant to think about how much this Firebolt was worth. One thing is for sure, it must not be the price he can afford.

Ivan took a lot of effort to pull Harry away, otherwise he would be able to stand here for a whole day, just staring at a broomstick so silly.

After leaving the Quiddich store, they went to Flourish and Blotts to buy a new textbook.

Ivan needs to buy new Defense Against the Dark Arts books, Harry adds two new courses, namely Care of Magical Creatures and Divination.

However, they were taken aback just after entering Flourish and Blotts. The bookstore was in a mess. The original beautifully bound mantra books were gone. Instead, they were replaced by a few large iron cages, which contained about two hundred 《Monster Book of Monsters》. 【ㄨ】

The books are locked together, furiously engaged in a wrestling contest, biting and fighting belligerently, and broken pages flying everywhere.

"Is it Hogwarts? Are you here to buy a new book?" The manager greeted him impatiently. When he saw Ivan, there was a smile on his face, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Mason" , What book do you need to buy? "

In just one year, Ivan bought more than two hundred magic book(s) in Flourish and Blotts, which makes him almost the most popular Flourish and Blotts customer.

"Uh, what's the matter with these books?" Ivan pointed to the iron cage.

"Do n’t mention, these 《Monster Book of Monsters》s are simply the worst books I ’ve ever seen in my life, worse than the" Invisible Book of Invisibility "I ’ve been advancing, and they are so messy. It ’s hard to imagine that I was bitten this morning Five times. "

His voice just fell, and suddenly there was a loud tearing sound in the cage. Two 《Monster Book of Monsters》s grabbed the third one, and he tried to tear it apart.

"No! Stop it, stop it soon!" The manager stretched his cane between the bars and opened the books. He shouted, "I don't store these books anymore, never! Simply! It ’s a nightmare, if you let me know which idiot designated this book as a teaching material, I must kill him. "

Hearing his words, Harry hurriedly turned his head.

Hagrid gave him a copy of 《Monster Book of Monsters》 a few days ago, which gave him a strange sense of uneasiness. He intuitively told Harry that Hagrid must have designated these books as teaching materials. Apart from Hagrid, no professor would like a biting book.

"It's actually very easy to deal with these books." Ivan saw that the other side was so pitiful and decided to tell him the trick. He said softly, "Just touch the spine gently, they will come down quiet!"

"What ?!" The manager wondered.

Ivan signaled the other party to take a 《Monster Book of Monsters》 from the cage. The book struggled to bite, but the Ivan's index finger slipped from top to bottom on the spine, the book shivered, and then opened, quiet still Lying on his hand.

"good heavens, Mr. Mason, incredible!" the manager exclaimed, "You have helped me a lot!"

He directed several shop assistants to take out the 《Monster Book of Monsters》 one by one, and after calming them down according to the Ivan's method, he immediately tied them with a rope.

"Bundle them, this is the correct way to handle these books!" the manager said breathlessly.

Due to Ivan's recommendations, he and Harry received the lowest discount.

Ivan took a few books very politely, he thought about it, and took one of the textbooks for the newly added third grade courses.

The curriculum of the second grade is exactly the same as the first grade. Most of the content in it, Ivan, has been self-taught. It is a waste of time to go to class again. He decided to go to watch the newly added courses in the third grade. At the end of the last semester, Professor McGonagall had agreed to his request.

Harry bought "Intermediate transfiguration" and 《The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 3》, as well as an 《Unfogging the Future》 by Cassandra Vablatsky. This is the Divination designated introductory textbook. It has a strong guiding role for palm reading, crystal ball, bird offal .

But Harry did n’t read his new book. His eyes fell on another book. It was a sign of death on a small table. It was written in red letters: when you know What should you do when the worst is coming?

"Oh, if I were you, I wouldn't read such a book." The bookstore clerk saw Harry's's eyes on that book and said easily, "You will see death after reading this book." Omens are everywhere, and this book will scare people to death. "

But Harry still stared at the cover of the book: there was a dog on the cover, about the size of a bear, and his eyes glowed. This dog looks surprisingly familiar ...

Harry pulled Ivan and motioned him to see the cover.

Ivan glanced at this, the black dog representing the sign of death is indeed a bit like Sirius Black, no wonder Harry feels uneasy.

"Ivan, did you say that night ..."

"Do n’t think about it, it ’s just a stray dog!" Ivan thought of being chased by the other party and ran through several streets. He gritted his teeth and added, "Yes, a very nasty stray dog."
