A Genius in a Second to Remember Love? To provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Just like that, with two weeks left in the summer vacation, Elwyn and Harry checked into the bar.
Compared to Harry's excitement, Elwyn had more things to do.
In the next few days, he visited almost all the magic shops in Diagon Alley. He persuaded the merchants to advertise in his newspaper. Thanks to the increasing sales of the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper, many merchants were willing to do so, and the advertising fees they paid were much higher than before.
This gave Elwyn a lot of savings, and he bought a lot of things for himself, such as potion materials that were far more than what a normal wizard could use.
When preparing the compound soup last semester, he recorded all the potion formulas in the book "Power Potion". There were many practical potions in it, which were very helpful to improve one's combat ability. If he wanted to buy a finished product, he would need a lot of gold coins, and it was far more cost-effective to brew it himself.
In addition, he also bought a wonderful mobile constellation model.
With it, he would no longer have to attend astronomy classes. Elwyn was fed up with going to the tall astronomy tower every Wednesday night and freezing, especially considering that he had a strong fear of heights, it was even worse.
Next, he went with Harry to buy the things on the school's list.
They first went to Madam Morkin's robe specialty shop to buy new robes. As soon as the two came out of the shop, they saw a group of people crowded in front of a shop.
They went over curiously, and Elwyn noticed that it was a Quidditch boutique shop, and there was a beautifully made flying broom in the shop window.
"Firebolt, representing the current highest level of craftsmanship in flying brooms! The broom handle is made of fine ash wood, streamlined, exquisite, and polished with a hard as diamond polish, and has a hand-engraved registration number. "
Elwyn glanced at it and lost interest, but Harry, who was next to him, almost pressed his face against the glass window.
"Let's go, Harry! You already have a very good broom, there is no need to buy another one. " Elwyn thought of the Nimbus 2001 that his parents had given him for Christmas last year. It seemed like it had been thrown under his bed at school ever since he received it.
"But this is a fire arrow, the world's fastest flying broomstick."
"It's also the most expensive!"
Harry nodded his head in agreement. He looked at the label and saw that the price was negotiable. He didn't want to think about how much this crossbow was worth, but one thing was for sure, it definitely wasn't a price he could afford.
It took Elwyn a lot of effort to pull Harry away. Otherwise, he would have stood there for the whole day, staring at a flying broom.
After leaving the Quidditch shop, they went to Liza Bookstore to buy new textbooks.
Elwyn needed to buy new Defense Against Dark Magic books, while Harry added two new subjects: Magical Creature Protection and Divination.
But when they entered Lihen Bookstore, they were shocked. The bookstore was in a mess. The spell books that were supposed to be beautifully bound were gone, and in their place were a few large iron cages. There were about two hundred copies of The Monster Book of the Monsters.
These books were locked together and engaged in a furious wrestling competition. They bit and fought with each other, and the broken pages of the books flew everywhere.
"Are you from the Hogwarts? Are you here to buy new books? " The manager came out impatiently. When he saw Elwyn, he squeezed out a smile. "Oh, it's you, Mr. Mason. What books do you need?"
In a short year, Elwyn had bought more than two hundred magic books from Liza Bookstore. This made him almost the most popular customer in the bookstore.
"Uh, what's with these books?" Elwyn pointed at the metal cages.
"Don't mention it. These" Monsters' Monster Book "are the worst books I've ever seen in my life. They're even worse than the" Invisibility Book of Invisibility "that I've been in before. They're making a lot of noise. It's hard to imagine that I've been bitten five times this morning. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud tearing sound came from the cage. Two copies of "Monsters' Monster Book" grabbed the third book and tore it apart.
"No! Stop, stop right now! " The manager stuck his cane in between the metal bars and opened the books. He shouted, "I'll never store these books again. Never! This is a nightmare. If I find out which idiot designated these books as teaching materials, I'll kill him. "
Hearing his words, Harry quickly turned his head.
A few days ago, Hagrid had given him a copy of "Monsters' Monster Book", which made Harry feel strangely uneasy. His intuition told Harry that Hagrid must have designated these books as teaching materials. Except for Hagrid, no professor would like a book that bit people.
"It's actually very easy to deal with these books." Seeing how pitiful the manager was, Elwyn decided to tell him the trick. He said softly, "You just need to gently touch the spine of the books, and they'll calm down!"
"What?!" The manager was surprised.
Elwyn gestured for the manager to take out a copy of "Monsters' Monster Book" from the cage. The book struggled and wanted to bite, but when Elwyn's index finger slid down the spine, the book trembled and opened, lying quietly in his hand.
"Oh my god, Mr. Mason, this is incredible!" The manager exclaimed. "You've really helped me a lot!"
He instructed the staff to take out "Monsters' Monster Book" one by one. After calming them down according to Elwyn's method, they immediately took a rope and tied them up.
"Tie them up. That's the right way to deal with these books!" The manager said, panting.
Because of Elwyn's suggestion, he and Harry got the lowest discount.
Elwyn took a few books without hesitation. He thought for a moment and took a textbook for the newly added curriculum for the third grade.
The curriculum for the second grade was exactly the same as that for the first grade. Elwyn had already learned most of the content by himself. It would be a complete waste of time to go to class, so he decided to audit the newly added curriculum for the third grade. At the end of last semester, Professor Meg had already agreed to his request.
Harry bought "Intermediate Transfiguration" and "Standard Incantation, Level 3". He also bought a copy of "Dispelling the Fog to See the Future" by Cassandra Wabraski. This was the required introductory textbook for divination. It had a strong guiding effect on palm reading, crystal ball, bird internal organs, and so on.
However, Harry did not look at his new book. His gaze fell on another book. It was a copy of "The Omen of Death" on a small table. On it was written in big red letters: When you know the worst is coming, what should you do?
"Oh, if I were you, I wouldn't read such a book." The bookstore staff saw Harry's gaze fall on the book and said casually, "When you read this book, you will see that the omens of death are everywhere. This book will scare people to death."
However, Harry was still staring at the cover of the book. There was a dog on the cover. It was about the size of a bear, and its eyes were shining. The dog looked strangely familiar …
Harry pulled Elwyn and gestured for him to look at the cover.
Elwyn glanced at it. The black dog that represented the omen of death did look a little like Sirius Black. No wonder Harry felt uneasy.
"Elwyn, do you think that night …"
